Apple iPad Pro 2018
There have been some important rectangles over the years: books, beds and Garibaldi biscuits all qualify for our list of the best equiangular quadrilaterals ever made, but none of them are quite as hopelessly desirable as Apple’s latest iPad Pro. It’s got Face ID, which works whichever way you hold it, so there’s no home button and no notch either – so whether you pick the 11in or 12.9in version, you get more Liquid Retina screen to play with than ever before. That’s just as well, because the A12X Bionic chip inside ramps up single-core performance by up to 35% and multi-core by up to a whopping 90%, while GPU clout has doubled, so chances are you won’t want to put the thing down. With apps such as Photoshop for iPad on the way and games like NBA 2K offering console-quality graphics (and actually meaning it this time), it’s a good job you can choose up to 1TB of storage – because you’re probably going to need it. In fact, you should probably skip the 64GB entry-level version and opt for at least 256GB. Now if only someone would start selling Garibaldis this big, we’d never have to get out of bed again.
