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?

I was going to skip the Nano option because I wasn't sure if the contrast/colors would be affected too much and the long-term durability of the surface, since you need a special supplied cloth to wipe it down. But your glowing review is making me consider getting it. But I really don't need more than 512GB of storage. SO glad you and Brad Colbow are here to speak to the concerns related to illustrators.

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!

I have downgraded to an 11 inch size. I find convenience of portability much more needed than trying to wheel the 13 inch size. I’m more likely to draw and use the iPad, but I will look into the pencil tips that are in your links.
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

Haven’t decided yet!
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.

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 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.

I don’t think that’s going to be an issue as nearly all drawing displays have matte coatings and they hold up. My old Wacom cintiq lasted years without issue.
I'm so glad you mentioned this and brought it up in this video! ❤ Yeah, I just went to the Apple store yesterday and saw the nano texture display, and I felt the exact same way. It was just kind of feeling meh too 😑. Yeah, it cuts down on glare a little bit, but I'm certainly not going to pay over 100 extra bucks just for it! 💰 And like people are saying, you can get better anti-glare covers for a lot less that feel a lot better with the Apple Pencil.
Good vid. Thanks the intel. Someday when I need to replace my 2023 M2 iPad Pro 12.9 that I draw on and teach digital drawing I’ll get one,…. But right now my “old” device and a Paperlike cover will more than do me. Plus when I draw or read on my iPad I rarely hold it, so the new lighter model doesn’t matter.
I'm considering getting the Nano. How does it feel in comparison to a screen protector like Astros Rock paper pencil? Which I heard is pretty textured. Does it feel better than that?

It's not as textured as some-but-I hate drawing on the glossy screen. I love drawing on this screen.

@@chris-piascik thanks. I come from like drawing on paper so I absolutely hate the feeling of glass. But I like quite a bit of texture but I think I'll risk trying the Nano. I'm not sure if I can use a screen protector over top of the Nano without it looking bad, but I'll try it as well
what brushes you are using for drawing?

I use a lot of the RetroSupply Co brushes. There’s a link below. For linework I really like their classic inker from the liner set. And I often color with their riso brushes.
Tried it yesterday at the apple store. It feels awesome to draw on.

Cool! I agree.
I feel you 😂 I’ve been doing the same exact thing with the same purchase but I chickened out last minute and canceled the nano and bought the standard glass

Haha it’s a reasonable decision for sure. I’m just reckless/impulsive. But I am happy I got ot
I understand it feels different when you touch it but does the pencil feel different on the nano texture vs the glossy glass, and is it similar to a Paperlike or Astropad screen protector that gives you some of that resistance? thanks for the review. 😊

It’s definitely an improvement in pencil feel. I don’t like drawing on the bare glass (standard display) at all. It’s close to the current version of Paperlike.

For me the nano texture is perfect for drawing. It’s definitely smoother than some of the more aggressive paper feel options, but I find it to be the right balance of feel and screen quality.

@@chris-piascik Appreciate your extremely quick response! Thank you very much! Let's see how my Ipad 7th gen with Paperlike feels in direct comparison to the new pro m4 :D that will be such a big upgrade

@@chris-piascik Awesome, thanks for your response much appreciated!! I don't live close to anywhere where I can just check this out so this is very helpful because none of the tech reviewers are talking about the differences in feel. and as Artists I feel like probably the number one thing we all wondered when we heard 'nano texture' was... does that mean we could have an option where we don't need a screen protector. lol
Awesome! This what I’ve always wanted factory built in textured matte screen. Could you do an update in a month maybe to see how it’s holding up?

That’s my plan!
Hi, Currently i'm using the combo: ipad mini 6 (with matte/paper-like - NOT paperlike one - film applied to it' screen) and using apple pencil for drawing.. Does that nano texture has the same paper-like experience with apple pencil pro without needing a matte/paper-like film?

Check out my in-depth follow up here that covers the feel: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fXmllLubkpu2e6Q.htmlsi=x1Z6OOgiPju9tk6Y
A zugu case is a must for any ipad. I am waiting for them to make the new one to order the ipad.
so many reviews but this is the best since it focuses on a feature no one other checked
You definitely have to make "After 6 months" impression, and tell us about the screen - did it wear off a bit or at all
