I just purchased the new iPad Pro 12.9" with 1TB RAM, wifi and 5G connectivity.
The import speed using a SD media reader connected to the USB-C port was very fast. Way faster than my experience with previous iPads using the Apple SD to Lightning adapter.
I just purchased the iPad app "RAW Power" writing by the same guy who was on the Apple Aperture time. My initial impression is very good. The native Apple Photos iPad app works well to, but the Photos RAW processing tools are not the best.
It looks like you cannot import directly into Raw Power. I found that I have to import into Photos and place the imported images in a new folder created in Photos. The folder is available inside RAW Power.
I'm a Capture One Pro user, so I'm exploring the best options for reviewing and processing RAW files on the road with my new iPad Pro without having to pay a subscription to Adobe.
