2024 iPad Pro Nano Texture: An Illustrator's Must-Have or Meh?

I spent a small fortune on a new iPad Pro so that I could get the matte Nano-Texture screen option-in hopes that it would be a better drawing experience than the standard glossy display. In this video, I share my findings and overall thoughts about the 2024 iPad Pro as a creative tool for a professional illustrator.

    Or there is an even more logical answer, they have the sales data from past sales, and they know that the 2 most popular choise is the full minimalistic (min RAM, min Storage, min CPU cores) and the full maximalist (max RAM, max Storage, max CPU cores, and every other possible options). So they just simplificied the lineup to not premanufacture things, what nobody will ever buy, even if it's possible (like max RAM but min Storage and min CPU cores, or any of this unusual combo, if they only sold 10 previously from this kind, they can ignore this, not worth to manufacturing and doing the logistic to travel this models all around the world.. they are manufacruring models in millions of amount, just to add one extra choise to sell 10 more is meanigless, it's more complicated to choose for those who are already confused which one to choose)

    I ordered one with the standard finish. It's great to hear how much you like the new matte finish, but I've actually gotten used to working on the glossy screen without a screen protector. The trick I've found is cleaning it before I use it to remove any finger grease. Finger grease seems to be what makes drawing on the bare glass subpar. I've gotten used to it now and don't even think about going back to a screen protector, plus I get to see the full dynamic range, which I missed when I was using one. Mine is arriving in a few days. Can't wait to see that Ultra Super Twin Turbo Max Retina OLED screen.

    I received my 2TB iPad Pro with nano texture yesterday and returned it the same day. I'm sure that I personally would be annoyed by the display every time I used it. I want the best display and pay good dollar for it, so I don't want to cover it up with a screen protector or a nano texture. Besides that it seems the nano display is a magnet for fingerprints and the cloth is not able to remove them as easy as one might think. Also the text seems to be a bit more blurry. In a few days I will get my money refunded after which I can order the right version. I'm glad that you like it though, but I missed if it did feel like for example paperlike or not? Does it actually feel as if you get some 'resistance' from the screen or is it smooth like the 'normal' screen? I hear some people say it even smoother than the normal glass?

    Hello and thanks for the nice review! Not a professional illustrator, but I like messing around with Japanese calligraphy. I noticed that the nanotexture cover, that I like very much for the display quality, gives none to almost none friction compared to glossy screen. All the "paperlike" matte screen protectors that I use on older iPads and other device have a stronger feedback. Did you compare your older matte display protectors with the nanotexture one? Would be nice to know your opinion on that. Thanks!

    My Ipad is 11” pro 2024 and I kinda have a concern. Do you also see a somewhat zigzag in the edges of the canvas when you rotate it in an angle in Ipad pro m4? If not, might it be because of the different oled supplier for 11”and 13” but in procreate it so obvious but it is still there.. I am not seeing this in my Ipad Air 4

    Can you clarify something for me? The nano feels better to touch because our fingers don't "stick" to it. I'm assuming this is what you like about the nano glass, but how is the texture itself when drawing with the pencil? I tried it in store, and found the smooth and nano glass to be more similar than different while drawing. Meaning that it doesn't have that scratchy paper like tooth to it. It has some feeling, but it doesn't quite live up to the expectation of what I had hoped it would be. Instead it's more of a very fine texture that doesnt have as much feeling while drawing as say a "paper-like" or similar branded screen protector. BUT it does still slide better, for example when using your fingers to touch the screen. Can you confirm this? What are your thoughts on the texture itself while drawing? I found them to be quite similar, especially once both nano and standard get coated by the oils in our skin. They behaved quite similarly at that point, although touch was slightly better on the nano due to less contact drag.

    Yes, I don't like the feeling of sticking to the glass. This surface is smooth when sliding across it. Although the texture is subtle for drawing it makes all the difference for me. I hate drawing on the glossy screen. I love drawing on this screen.

    @@chris-piascik Yeah I felt like the texture was too subtle so I went with the standard. I have a Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 with etched glass and I love it but in the store I just feel like the nano was not as textured as I hoped it would be. I'm still debating on on keeping the standard or returning and getting the nano. I too prefer to draw on etched glass. At the same time the smooth glass is visually nicer. It's a tough call. I figured I could always put a screen protector on the smooth glass if i wanted but I could never remove the nano glass if I wanted clarity and sharpness back :) I appreciate your response, and thank you for making the video. I know many have been waiting for an artists review of the two glass options.

I also didn’t like that with a screen protector my gestures sometimes didn’t register.

    It doesn’t affect the visuals much aside from getting rid of the glare. The drawing experience is substantially better than the glossy screen. I can’t draw comfortably on an iPad with a glossy screen and no screen protector. With this one it’s a great experience. It’s just enough resistance for me and the soft texture feels much better for gestures than the standard glass.

Yesterday, I got the new Apple Pencil pro along with the Magic Keyboard (which I do prefer on my frequent travels) but I have to wait until mid June for the 2TB M4 iPad Pro w/ matte screen and 5G cellular (which is the reason for the 1 month delay according to Apple when I ordered right after the video-event).

    I decided the increase in cost for the memory and nano was worth it. It’s for my business and the larger memory and better processor in the 1TB will recoup some of that cost in trade-in value and/or more longevity of use. And if Apple makes iPad OS moves that allow me to use more as a laptop replacement on-the-go, and that’s a big iffff, I’d need the 1Tb anyway to make that work for me.
