I can’t be mad at Apple or anyone else for what they charge, because I charge MORE than they do for my art 🤷🏾 Fortunately, no one is making podcasts asking if my art is worth the price or not. No one is asking if my latest paintings are upgraded enough, from previous work to make them worth acquiring. The art either resonates with patrons or not. It’s as simple as that. I use the same criteria when acquiring Apple devices, clothes, or even other artist’s works. 🎨 The price is whatever the price is. If I want something cheap, I’ll buy a poster, dine at McDonald’s, or shop at The Doller Store

Great review and thoughts. Better technology won't necessarily make you a better artist. At this point, technology is more than good enough for most standalone, drawing and display tablets. And I still have to say that nothing beats analog drawing and you don't have to spend much. Cheap copy paper and a #2 pencil or Bic ballpoint pen still gives a better drawing experience.

Its still too small a thing for me to spend that kind of cash on. I use a 22" Wacom display at home on a desk, with a big rig and use it for 2D and sculpting. I too still use my old Intuos occasionally and it's fine. An iPad might be fun to sketch on, but I can get a larger Samsung tablet (and use Clip Studio) with an OLED screen and a perfectly functional stylus included in the price....(and it's a lot cheaper). But I don't think I'd ever want to have a 13" display as my only professional display for work. Maybe it would be cool to do observational drawing? I think I'll just stick to using a sketchpad though.

i recently got the m2 iPad so I'm glad to hear its not all that more fancy then the m2 otherwise it would've made my purchase redundant... and I cant afford that lol.

But the value is very important as you say. don't know if its better to buy the M2 with more Ram. i work on very big files and sometimes i get a little lag. Maybe it would be nice if you compare the speed of that M4 with 8GB RAM and the M1 with 16 GB RAM.

Yeah exactly. I want to try and test this. It's hard to find a way to properly figure out how to compare as often things like procreate will limit your ability to create files that lag. I'll see what I can do to test. Maybe I'll Synthetic benchmarks just tell us if it's faster... but the question is always does it make a difference for your workflow and the type of art you make. The Ram does make a huge difference for 2D art I think. I'll see what I can do to test the difference.

You mentioned how OLED is powerful if you look at creating art for ‘digital first’. Have you thought about how this this might slide in with VR and spatial video consumption?

Hey, thanks for the review. You made a point to say how disappointed you were with the new pencil but I think you glossed over what I think is a total game changer and in my opinion, one of the primary motivations to upgrade this year: the squeeze gesture. The double tap gesture was finicky at best and RSI-inducing at worst, so being able to use the new pencil as if it had a button is very welcome.

@TheDrawingCodex

Ай бұрын

Yeah for sure. I haven't had a chance to use it for long. my initial feeling was that it took a bit of force to get it to register the squeeze, and that it might not be the ultimate solution for hand stress or RSI. Perhaps there will be some adjustment possible on the sensitivity. Now when you double tap it gives haptic feedback which is actually awesome. It means there is no guessing that you have made the change. My ultimate read on this is that the pencil will always suffer from apple design flaws of form over function. They want it to be clean and neat and like an oldschool pencil. That way it sticks to the side and fits in the cases. Whereas to really use a tool and make it easy to hold all day long for a lifetime... the solutions often end up looking ugly (and customised to the artist's grip and hand). It also still feels a bit slippery... Idunno... I just think it's not that great of an artists tool... and no amount of features will really make a difference. But yeah I did gloss over it for sure. I honestly was expecting those features to be better than they were. It's better than the old one... but not worth the upgrade at all just for the pencil to me. Again perhaps the software will take advantage of it later on... if I bought this thing for the pencil upgrade I think I would feel ripped off now.

It would be an easy bet to make that tens of millions of dollars were spent by Apple on market research to figure out the right value proposition to get people to actually buy. They have this stuff dialled in normally. It would be different for different segments. You can see the pro misses with most tech reviewers... But the real purpose of the upper tier pro is normally to sell the middle tier (in this case the Air). And to maintain technology dominance in specs etc. The pen is key for artists... But I think it's also good for branding and marketing the thing as a creative tool. They really leaned into the pen on the marketing side. I think this shifts the focus away from the specs... Which can be pretty boring. I would be keen to know how many pens they actually sell... And how much profit there is in it.

man, I have a 2019 air and still going strong, A12's performance is perfectly adequate for clipstudio or procreate, but what I wanted was more screen real-estate. I definitely feel you about the thing with wacom being so stagnate. Movink have good features but its too small and it cost same as similar size Ipad Air brand new. I have a 16" wacom and I definitely not going back to a 13" just because it has touch and better cables. I think apple should give them some real competition and make a 15" already, lol.

Thanks for that interesting perspective on the new M4 iPad Pro and Apple Pencil Pro. I get the impression that to you, aside from discernible improvements brought by the new OLED display (which is true of any OLED display), the M4 iPad Pro doesn’t deliver for you. And of all the reviews I’ve seen from the professional artists segment in KZread about the Apple Pencil pro, yours stands out as the least enthusiastic of all by far. I was very surprised to hear opinions so diametrically opposed about that device. It just goes to show how important it is for an individual looking to make an informed purchasing decision to try and test these devices in person and for most people that will mean purchasing it, trying it out, keeping it or exchanging for another version or returning all-together within the return window set by the seller if there is one.

@sloppynyuszi

Early reviews for the device never make sense, as most developers haven’t had enough time to optimise for the hardware. The worst experience I had was with the M1 iPad. For the first few weeks procreate could only use 2mb of my 16gb of ram on my M1 iPad Pro. Because the chip was new most apps defaulted to thinking it was an entry level iPad. None of the reviewers noticed, and had to read about it in forums. Eventually some KZreadrs covered it later. A bunch of my old procreate files wouldn’t open, it was very frustrating. Eventually everything worked but I think it was like 6 months until the full amount of ram was allowed. The M4 isn’t as bad, but outside Apple Pencil hover, nothing feels that new. The new pencil feels the same. The squeeze is not as bothersome as I thought.

Very good video man👍 I have been thinking whether to get ipad air M2 13" or ipad pro M4 13" for about a month now. Your video really helps. I was good with digital art using computer+mouse before. I never used wacom and recently discover the potential with ipad+pencil pro. ipad pro M4 13" is way too expensive for me and I'm afraid that 8GB of ram will not last for long term. Getting 16GB of ram one will require you to pay an arm or a leg for it, I think I'll put that into consideration once things are cheaper. To make matter worse M4 chip is a very powerful chip, but it's still limited by the ipad OS. I decided to get ipad air M2 13" for now.

I'd be more into buying one if it was sizes like the wacom range.

Have you tried the 11"? im debating whether to go 11" or 13"

Will it still be running smoothly in 5 years? That's a big part of the value for money equation for me. If I can be productive with it for 5 years then the most expensive iPad Pro would be worth it if that's my main money earning tool. Realistically for me, most of my work is done on a desktop Cintiq/PC workstation. I once had a first gen iPad Pro. It was amazing for a very short time. After 2 years, it was so slow that I didn't want to bother using it anymore. Unlike with a PC, I couldn't just install older software on it. Everytime Apple updated the OS, it got slower and slower so I never bought another iPad after that. I still miss Procreate.

It's interesting you talk about doing really great looking artwork and finding it was outside the colour gamut. I found this a headache as a graphic designer. What's the best way to prevent this problem? Do you just have to set the document to CMYK and just work with the available colours?

@TheDrawingCodex

Ай бұрын

I have never actually worked in CMKY at a document level. I always use RGB and then convert to cmyk for print (some blending modes and color adjustments work differently in different color spaces). I use soft proofing in photoshop to check the colors. This normally also simulates the black point and gives you an indication of what it will look like on a given paper stock. Some comicbook colourists I remember did use cmyk from the beginning and were really focused on keeping the lines in the K channel and a bunch of other really specific techniques. After a while I got better at figuring out what is likely to print well and what will turn to mud. With art it's probably different as often images can start ok but will get either too dark and grey or too bright and colourful later on when we adjust everything. I think Clip Studio has some kind of soft proofing as well. Procreate seems to be digital focused.

@TheDrawingCodex Hey, thanks for the really detailed reply. I really appreciate it. I've never been shown how to colour proof or even heard it mentioned as a final stage in the process, which is bonkers. It looks like a skill in itself, and I guess that's why comic books have colourist. I'm so big picture that I'd rather pay someone to do it rather than get frustrated that certain colours are just not possible in CMYK. It's a shame about ProCreate being RGB focused because I find the interface so intuitive. I know a lot of professionals use Adobe Fresco for one-off work (rather than comics). If I did want to produce a comic or even a 1 off piece and I wanted to hire a colourist, is there somewhere you would recommend where I can post an ad or look for collaborators? Thanks again for your help!

Regarding the OLED standard: the first *modern* (appreciably OLED, TADF emitter devices) were in 2015 and 2016. The technology is nearing 10 years. Apple contrary to belief rarely embraces technological fads with flagship products like the ipad, and lets the industry lead for some time in terms of specification. So when the new ipad pro line is OLED only, and the technology for contemporary OLED devices nears a decade old, you can bet a sizable _majority_ of devices going forward are adapting to OLED and HDR specifications or atleast analagous specs. We are in the age of newer, more color-aware screens, and remaining digital companies will follow suit swiftly if they haven't already pivoted to OLED or QLED or QDOT; color accuracy is by demand the hot issue and will be for some time. What the above word salad means is that this higher digital color standard is rapidly reaching majority and will not be going away. That, above all else is this new ipad's selling point, as otherwise the various digital art apps will not be seeing an equivalent efficiency increase when comparing price-to-performance-ratios to even a 2020 generation ipad Air. So if "future proofing" your digital art so to speak is important, this device will acommodate you fairly well for the premium. Otherwise, it's a very very overpriced wacom or huion product with best-in-class stylus tracking and decently comparable software suite options. Worth mentioning however is the /separate/ price of a workstation which those other devices would require. Even if you use a screen-less drawing tablet, future proofing for OLED will cost you the price of admission of a sufficient color-accurate monitor (and usually a decent rig to run your sodtware of choice). Is this new ipad necessary? Well it certainly isn't. Is it a terrible deal? Not really, if you prefer the ipad ecosystem. It's a great art facillitator, and it's geared towards the new wave of use cases we will be seeing.

What do you think? Is there any point also getting a monitor?

I don't have any experience with adding monitors and extra things to my iPad setup. My feeling personally is that if I have to add anything I might as well sit down at my computer. Some people seem to use these extra features... my worry is always that it could be buggy, or not as easy at it seems to use a device outside it's key functionality. BUT there are a lot of rumour/wishes that Apple will put Mac OS on these soon. and allow you to use it as a laptop. But who knows. The Samsung s9 ultra I talk about in this video has a thing called DEX that can give you a desktop style experience with an external monitor... but I found using it to be slow. So best bet is to find someone who is really doing exactly what you want and see if they have found any issues. My problem with all of these devices is that one little thing can ruin your workflow, and often there is nothing to fix it. Compared to a full desktop where there are often many solutions. Many people seem to be embracing the portable only lifestyle. I find having a proper desktop gives so much more power and ability when working professionally. Much of it depends on exactly what you are doing though.

But the other workstation I have which I do most of my art on was less expensive than this (much cheaper gfx card) and it only has 128GB of DDR4 ram... and it still does what I need. Being able to now get 192GB of ram in consumer grade systems is pretty good! I find the ram is the most important thing for the work I do. As it's good to have multiple files open. Or I upgrade when it seems like the computer has slowed down due to system bloat etc. The time it takes to set up a PC is pretty significant. I normally find I lose a few days of work to the process so I try not to upgrade that much. And I have gotten into the habit of spending more on each system so that they need upgrading less often.

I feel like its too expensive man... 2.2k is a price of a pro tool but I feel like you can get many pro tools for that amount of money. I honestly don't know what Apple would have to add to the iPads for me to decide to upgrade from my M1 12.9 iPad Pro.

I can't justify the Ipad Pro given that the Surface Pro is a full blown computer.

Yeah that sounds good! I saw a lot of students using the Surface products and they seemed to like them. I haven't had much luck with windows pen tech or tablets (The Huion Studio 16 I have here seems to be fighting windows ink and it doesn't seem artist focused...) But maybe it works better with a 100% Microsoft device. It will be interesting to see if the new windows based mobile style chips will compete with M4 etc in terms of speed and battery.

You mentioned the new apple pen doesn’t work on the old iPads but do the old ones work on the new ones?

No. Old Apple Pencil doesn’t work on the new M4 and New iPad Air. Only the pencil pro and USB-c Apple Pencil works mainly because of the change of front facing camera

Could of got to the point sooner, but it was a good review

I literally only bought the 1tb model cuz my 9S Ultra had a very annoying dead zone.

Ah yeah that sucks. I had a dead spot develop on my first iPad pro years ago. Makes the whole thing worthless for art!

Got that britney mic

why the nib is so fat? It is beginning to bother me now the screen resolution has gone too high. I will check out a third-party apple pencil nib that has a narrow pencil-like nib.

4:39 thanks for the pragmatics for us artists. Other reviewers misunderstand the value to us for having the touch screen and the Apple Pencil Pro. I chose the Apple iPad because back when I didn’t want MS Windows nor the non-touch or need for Cintiqs $$$$ bulkiness. IPadOS might be a boon or disappointment. 12:47 yep, expectation if fulfilled more artists will be buy. But the prices! And repairability. 17:09 AI is useful and problematic. Meta now in instagram told me it couldnt find accounts because they weren’t “famous”. I had to laugh. The corollary is bank renaming my comments to store names.

I like how you asked that question as if tablets had just been discovered. Lmao

Apple seems to be a great tool, but I prefer windows tablets to have the ability to use more apps, I think that's what limits apple iPad to some degree

Slightly abusive relationship thats kinda amazing. Lol. True.

I'm an android snob. 😂😂😂..but honestly I learned a lot even in this video.......

42 minutes to say not really is crazy 🤣 (This is a joke btw)

Sometimes it's about the journey...

If this thing had a 20 hr battery life, I would swoop, but definitely a pass for me.

I think it has better battery life than most everything else though right?

15:20 Are you seriously celebrating Apple for installing an Oled display in the new and gratuitously overpriced iPad Pro in 2024? Samsung has been using it since 2009. And as you cautiously predict in the next sentence, Apple will soon be equipping all of its devices with oled, as if Apple is mercifully transporting us all into the future. Don't you find what you're saying a bit strange?

This display just looks really good to me. I have the S9 Ultra and a Samsung OLED tv. The new apple one just does look a bit better to my eyes. It seemed to perform better outdoors too. But yeah it's classic apple late adoption. There would be no reason to buy this over the ultra for the screen. But OLED is still really slow on adoption. I feel like everyone was saying even earlier than 2009 that the world would go OLED and it's taken ages to get to this point. Display tech in general for artists was looking very grim until apple started marketing their displays as IPS... Then everyone jumped onboard IPS instead of cheaper TN panels etc. So it's good they are adopting this as it will push everyone forward.

I dont get why the ad is controversial.

Agree, I see it as I assume as intended. It’s just saying all this production, all this music, creativity ect is squeezed into this thin iPad lol

lol no.

Easy answer is NO!!. If you want great art, get a microsoft PC and use its AI to make you great art. Better than anything you can ever draw or paint.

You sound old lmao. You type of people don't appreciate art and the process at all and just want AI slop. Nobody respects AI art or acknowledges it takes any skill.
