The pro is the same price range as a gaming phone, so it does take a portion of those customers, being bigger, more powerful etc. 120hz is a huge difference in gaming, and the oled has far less motion blur.

The major issue is iPadOS has to be upgraded to at least the basic fundamental functions of MacOS like file and disk management. Think MacOS light. Regarding nanoscreen.

I am a Samsung (S22 Ultra / S8 Ultra Tablet) and I'm about to finally buy the M4 IPad Pro 13 1TB Non Nano version. These iPads really seem like they are for artists, or media on the go. They aren't really for everyone. I use Nomad Sculpt and with Zbrush IPad on the way, the Pro version is now a must. Having a tablet that can do 3D design is freaking awesome. I love the S8 Ultra Samsung 14.6" I have but Nomad is slowing down with the higher millions of polygons I'm using. That M4 chip is looking quite tasty now, so ordering one this evening.

I'm glad you made the good point about playing games on it that's another big plus for getting one being able to basically bring a powerful gaming console wherever you travel to with just the addition of a bluetooth xbox or PS4 type controller 🙏🏽👍🏽

I was just in the Apple Store here in Hamburg to do an exact comparison between Normal and Nano Display for photos. So, the photos are less sharp , especially in fine details like hair, fabrics etc.. and it has more of slight shine (emphasis on light) for phots. This is easy noticeable and could lead to over-sharpen in editing But on the Nano the photo looks more natural, natural matt like a good print. As for reflection, yes it is far less… but for me I could notice them exactly as on the Normal… so that isn’t a big deal if you have windows behind you or so. Outside it might be different but how could test… I’m still debating if I would get the 1TB 13 one (coming from an 12.9 2018). My biggest issue is as you rightfully pointed out is the lack of Apps , for Photo Editing it is the Topaz stuff (at least Photo AI). If Topaz would work then yes i could replace my 16“ MBP as my Main and and only Mac… and could maybe have an combination of iPad and iMac

For me the iPad Pro is ideal for most tasks including drawing, the iPhone Pro Max can be used for LiDAR surveys and comms, my MacBook Pro is best For BIM (with several monitors) and I can use it away from the office for that too, but useless for freehand drawing.

8:05 where is the comparison to the M2? I am actually very curious how the reduced microphones affect the sound quality.

Lightness is great and nice, but thinness is definitely not necessary. Much rather have a HUGE battery, so whatever the balance between battery and weight it, that’s the move.

Thank you as usual. I have a new Pro 11" and it surpasses il Pro 2019, which I know will soon be to longer of keeping up with upcoming Applications, however superb it was. It got me €375 as a trade in (Siri will tell you what that is in $$.

I had the iPad air 2 back then and that was a good tablet to use right now I have the tab a8 from samsung but I may eventually get the iPad air maybe either later this year or next year.

Nice, the new M2 Air?

I am waiting for WWDC and possible much needed changes on iPadOS before I upgrade. Let's see what's coming.

4:20 protective screens for iPhone and iPad (some of them) have oleophobic coating which makes a huge difference in swiping experience.

I’m Florida what beach is that ?

In other words, no need to spend $1500 when an M1 iPad Air half the cost will running the same crippled iOS!

About that nano texture, what about just buying a matte screen protector? A really good one? Maybe the quality wont match up, but pretty sure it’ll be 95% quality for 5% the cost ya? If you’d buy the nano textured screen, you’re committed to that and you can’t go back. If you buy a gloss screen with matte screen protector, you can always go back.

i have the M1 with and i use davinic resolve as my video editor of choice

All i ask in the next update is to be able to switch and drag windows using the apple pencil!

Really bothersome that "tech reviewers" will go to great lengths to espouse very specific tech KZreadr beliefs but also not be able to do very basic things to ensure testing is fair. Why during the display comparison segment was KZread ambient mode on? You can't even appreciate the inky blacks with that. Everything you said regarding displays became invalidated because it is literally impossible to verify your claims using this video alone.

Even worse is that as someone whose entire career is built on this platform, you'd think that you'd also be up-to-date on new features to it.

I noticed the weight immediately when picking it up and holding it.

I’m an HR manager who uses a cloud based HR system. I cannot access my work, even in a pinch, without a proper desktop browser. That’s a deal breaker for me.

IPadOS needs to evolve. I have the M4 11 and while it is great, too much still cannot be done on it. It is a great device, but …. One aspect I am disappointed is in the keyboard. The hinge is metal and can scratch anything you have it on if you open it in that position.

Yes! more application support! A lot of the "iPad" versions of apps are limited in their features and are inconsistent with the Mac versions. Word and google docs for example are no where near as capable as the mac versions

Everyone makes videos about how the new iPad pro doesn't do this or that but they haven't even released the next iPad OS yet. They need the iPad to be released first so everyone can beta test on it. In about a year from now I'm sure everyone will be very happy. The thinness is great because when I put the Magic Keyboard on my lap it doesn't topple over anymore. It isn't as top heavy now. Isn't that a good thing? I got the white Magic Keyboard and it never shows the fingerprints that the black keyboard shows. Even with my M1 keyboard it still looks clean. I'm not one to edit anything on the iPad Pro but I find it has all the apps I want compared to the Mac. The Mac is just so boring! Maybe developers will wake up and make some better software that isn't limited to the older iPads. Gaming would be a nice thing.

Silly grape, but they should've changed the orientation of the Apple on the back of the iPad, I hate it being sideways, I mean I know, I'm looking at display, not the back but it still bugs me

the thinnest and weight aren't a gimmick it's made the ipad pro especially with the magic keyboard lighter than ever which previously made it as heavy as a macbook pro but now it's a lot more portable and versatile to travel with than a heavy macbook pro and a huge considereration and big part of why I've decided to upgrade from my M1 ipad pro 🙏🏽👍🏽

Honestly, I don’t think MacOS needs to come to the iPad Pro, and part of that is because of the technical limitations. Mostly that’s thermal load - an iPad Pro running MacOS would run it significantly worse than a MacBook Air without redesigning the iPad to be a product that it wasn’t meant to be. It took me a while to come to that conclusion but I’m there now. *_HOWEVER!!_* That being said, what I do think Apple should do is create a iPad Ultra or MacBooklet Ultra or something that is a hybrid of a MacBook and an iPad Pro. Then they could properly engineer it to run MacOS while keeping all the functionality and feature set of the iPad Pro, other than the form factor. It would need to be bigger (thicker at least) and heavier and integrate with the keyboard differently to manage the heat, and it might even need to have active cooling like a MacBook Pro depending on how it’s designed. Whether it’s more like a Microsoft Surface Book series tablet/laptop or more like a Lenovo Yoga flip-over convertible laptop where you can flip the keyboard 180 degrees to the back and have it deactivate and be held and used like a (heavier, thicker) tablet. I just can’t see Apple leaving that market untouched and untapped. There does need to be something that ties the Apple Pencil Pro and touch screen to MacOS, and it’s obviously not the iPad Pro due to the design constraints of what that product is meant to be. And obviously the combo-hybrid device is going to cost more than either of the others, but would still be on par or cheaper than buying both separately. There is a Goldilocks perfect middle ground that exists in a vacuum between the iPad Pro and the MacBook that’s dying to be filled. It really doesn’t make sense for there to be no touch screen/Apple Pencil Pro enabled MacOS device - there’s a perfect marriage in there somewhere, and I do suspect that Apple is probably at least experimenting internally with what that marriage looks like. But the other thing is that we can pretty much guarantee that Apple isn’t rushing that device, either. Will we see it within a year? I don’t know. They seem to like to take 5-10 years to develop a new product or range of products that are substantially different from what they’ve done before. So I’d say we may see that device come at some point within the next 2-5 years at the most, if they haven’t already been working on it since the M1 was tested out in the iPad Pro range.

A lot of people have battery drain issues on the apple discussion website. Do any of you guys have it too? Also why is no youtuber talking about it?

Why it looks like it’s only KZreadrs that think iPads need macOS.? The same as for the calculator? KZreadrs were the only one complaining about it.

This with 13 pro max is match made heaven

It’s a multimedia device that can do some work. Not the other way around. A laptop is the opposite of that. Why would Apple want to impose on their own product?

Missing the more details about the 11“. I heard it has worse speakers for example (physics).

I just want a very light Mac type support so I can do business like functions. So like Outlook, office 365 apps and Safari act like they do on Mac when your on the Magic Keyboard.

Any comment in the grainy mura effect people are moaning about it? Seems like an issue when i scroll through reddit

Everything you did on this you can do on the cheaper 13 inch iPad Air M2.

everything accept enjoy a 120hz refresh rate with OLED contrast, better speakers and a much improved pencil.

The shortfalls you mention would be addressed if MacOS came to iPad, but I agree that MacOS shouldn’t replace iPadOS. Personally, I’d like to see an emulator app run MacOS so I could run full-fledged Mac apps on iPad when I wanted to, without taking away iPadOS and its great design and features for touch. The emulator might be nothing more than Finder and Mac app support - I’m not sure - but it would be cool. And it would help iPad compete with Surface, which runs full-blown Windows apps, but sucks as a tablet.

Plugins are too heavy in RAM consumption which is probably why it’s not available on iPad

I completely disagree that the decreased weight and thinness are not noticeable. I noticed both immediately as soon as I picked up the new iPad Pro. I actually think these are the two best reasons to upgrade to the M4 iPad Pro. I thought the OLED screen would be the main reason, but I didn't really notice a difference in the display. You can clearly see the difference in a dark room, but that's the only scenario where I think you can notice a substantial difference. I don't notice the increased CPU speed much with what I do on my iPad Pro.

That thinness is quite a wow factor, they feel it immediately when they try it in stores. People like beautifully made things, and beauty makes sales. Brandon was thinking of numbers too much.

I still need MacOS on iPad. I really hope one day Apple delivers it.

Going to disagree with you about the speaker system. I’m very disappointed in the quality compared to my M2 iPad Pro, which has a very rounded almost theatre like surround sound effect. The new 2024 pad is good, but it’s not great - it’s really favouring the voice over any background or music in a background, so you can easily miss any nuance. The biggest challenges that removed the darn equalizer software! Everyone’s complaining about the calculator, but there’s no built-in equalizer anymore.

Wait you can’t use the pencil like your finger? ☹️

A hardware that is better even than most notebooks in the market, with a software that is a slightly better than phone software. In that price No wonder why we are mad about this The only right move in this gen were cameras, the front in landscape mode, the back is one,why a need for two in an iPad. Maybe at least a better files management than the current.

I have the smart folio keyboard for the M1 iPad Pro and prefer it to the magic keyboard but it seems you aren’t able to buy it for the new version which is frustrating.

If you want the battery life of your MacBook Pro to be similar to that of the iPad, then run Windows in a VM. For some reason, Windows eats battery like it will be its last meal.

I’ll miss the touch screen when my 2018 Pro dies but I’m done buying iPads, I can’t be doing with iPadOS anymore. Mac’s only from now on.

The iPad is a great idea, and has a wide range of uses, but what is shown in this video is not one of the.

The iPad doesn’t need MacOS. But developers CAN develop Mac-like apps for iPadOS. It’s just that many don’t want to. If we could just get more Mac-like apps for the iPad, that would be great.
