Whereas the Surface Pro 8 can do a lot of things really well, but it has its fair share of hiccups and gotchas as well. The iPad Pro can do a lot of things, but only a few things really well. If you're on the fence about whether to go with the Surface Pro 8 or an iPad Pro, I'll say this: you can't go wrong with either device, as long as you know what you're getting yourself into. That said, Apple continues to make the best tablet-specific devices you can buy. So, iPad or Surface Pro 8? With so much uncertainty over the future of iPadOS, I'm no longer as confident as I was once about the future of Apple's high-end tablets. I'm once again enjoying using multiple windows for multitasking, not having to worry about any extra workarounds, and I still have complete and total portability. (iPhone X also has the big cutout and the curved edges, but we are not taking them into account - even with that simplification, the screen area is smaller).90% Microsoft Surface Pro 8 for Business review: Still in loveĪfter a few months of the Surface Pro 8 sitting on a shelf, I have gone back to using it as my main device. So even though the first iPhone has a longer diagonal, the screen size is smaller than in iPhone 8 plus. And what do you get? 4.8" for screen width, 2.7" height, and 12.93 in² screen size. Repeat the steps for iPhone 8 Plus, choosing a 16:9 aspect ratio and 5.5-inch diagonal. As a result, you obtain screen dimensions: width and height and the screen area.The first value of the aspect ratio is 2.17, and the second value is 1. As that ratio is still not very popular, you can't select it from a drop-down menu - write it down manually in advanced options fields. Let's start with iPhone X with the aspect ratio equal to 2.17:1. We could expect that the former would have a bigger screen, but we can't forget about aspect ratios! iPhone X has a narrower screen with a 2.17:1 ratio, and iPhone 8 Plus has a standard 16:9. Let's say we want to compare two smartphones: The Apple iPhone X with a 5.85-inch display and the iPhone 8 Plus, which has a 5.5-inch screen.
