Why I Bought The M4 iPad Pro...

- The M4 iPad Pro might be one of the most impressive pieces of hardware that I have ever seen that finally beats the modern apple silicon MacBook in total hardware specs, but it may not be my ideal device to use... so why did I buy one, and why am I hopeful that this may be the time the iPad finally wins me over.

I actually like that it's thinner... 🫢
bro will it bend cause im a student and im scared it might bend with usage
Thats what she said
@@user-de3sl1xw4qWhy does you being a student make it more likely to bend? Treat it with care and it will be fine.The previous iPad Pro’s apparently bend easily but I’ve never bent mine.
me too. i love when products seem like they just can’t be physically possible!
@@user-de3sl1xw4q if you get the aluminium keyboard, it’s stored in a much thicker frame, so could be more resistant to bending. if you take good care of it i doubt it will be a problem!
He bought it because he reviews Apple products
😂😂
Thats true...
fr lol I know it's nice that the iPad is thinner but let's be honest. We all wanted better battery AND software!!!!
Lol 😂 truth be told
And to compensate the dull sense of humour
I thought getting married was expensive, but falling in DEEP love with Apple is even more expensive.....but then again, a guy gotta pay up for what he loves 😉❤
I've already had enough of this shit when I bought an iPad 4, which periodically lost its mobile network.
I bought myself a Moog Grandmother and a Korg Pa 1000, and a couple of lego techs and a mindstorm, these are much cooler brain development toys than another useless female gasket!

I hated the weight on my 12.9" M1 iPad Pro and am really happy that both, the new 13" Pro as well as the new keyboard are lighter!
Same! Really excited to handle it
@@GregsGadgets I am also considering an update from my 12.9 brick to the thinner, lighter iPad. Those that are confused by it, probably never use it in the hand as a tablet.
@@uofmtigertech1316I do, but I don’t have wrists made out of spaghetti.
Ordered new 13” today with new keyboard. - Trading In my 12.9 M1
Have a 12.9 M1 and Magic Keyboard. Been waiting for thinner, lighter, OLED and camera moved to where it needed to be. Ordered. 13” 512gig Cellular and new keyboard. 🙌
Bring back the iPhone mini (because yeah, thinner and lighter is awesome.)
Yup! iPhone Mini was such a good device from Apple that they needed to continue with it!
I had the 13 mini, loved it ...but loving the 15 now as it's easier to text and read stuff and the cam is amazing
This!
Honestly one of the BEST phones they’ve made over the years and compared to galaxy 🔥🔥
Would ABSOLUTELY buy an updated mini
@@Dan393945 I plan to keep my 13 mini until the end of time OR until another mini comes out... whichever comes first.
You can never be too rich or too thin
😂😂
LOL
this is a timeless truth
I think it's cool that they made it thinner and lighter but still fitted some cooling under the chassis. I think this is the first tablet they've made with an official cooling system, regardless of how minimal it is. Looking forward to the actual performance of the device!!
I hold the thing hours a day. Lighter is good.
SAME battery life with the M2?! WHAT. A. BUMMER.
Thanks for your reviews buddy.
I'm also buying it because it's thinner and lighter, and I might even mount it in my car so I can do some work when I'm out in the field. I also think that the maps on the IPad will definitely be much more useful than the apple carplay. For me it'll be a much better portable workhorse than my old MacBook since it'll be much easier to travel with plus i'll be getting the cellular version to quickly turn in updates and reports.
I’ve tried using Apple Maps on my iPad mini and maps does not work on iPadOS as it does on iPhone/carplay. Unless I’m doing something wrong🧐
@@GhostedstudiosTV as far as I know the Ipad mini doesn't have LTE which is why the maps aren't accurate.
I have been waiting for YEARS for this type and breath of an Apple iPad Pro. It will be retiring one of the first gen iPad Pro in use today. Bought the same config Greg did a couple of days ago and glad I did as the < 1 Tera memory option gives you more RAM. Pricing was a bit steep BUT one of the credit cards gave us a 15% discount on electronics purchases 👍🏼…Pick it up mid next week.
Great video, buddy I am still on the fence. I hear what you’re saying about the potential will be unlocked with the next iPadOS. Looking forward to your review.
Paper-Like Screen Protector for your iPad will change the feel of writing with your Apple Pencil on the iPad screen! No glossy feel. Other brands exist as well.
Every review so far "not a ipad person, dont know why I'm ordering, Im hesistant to click the order button, but Im ordering!" lol. Great vids tho.
I’d be interested to see how one handing the 13in feels. Last gen was uncomfortable. Thanks for the videos Greg. Great channel 👍🏻
Ipad 13 inch pro needs to be as thick as the m1 or m2 version for durability purposes. They just need to fill it in with a bigger battery so it would last longer in a day. If heating is an issue, they may just put in a small fan like what the gaming phones did.
4:38 I’m into hardware too. But, personally, until I have a need or a use-case for using the advancement to my or other’s benefit, I’m super happy to watch everyone else use it.
I bought the 11 inch iPad Pro should be here the 15th Wednesday. Used my seven year old 10.5 inch iPad for a $100 trade-in and then used my 10% education discount saved another hundred bucks. I also bought the logic tech keyboard case combo for $229 from Apple because right now that’s the only place you can get it and as thin as this thing is, it’s got to have a case. I bought the logitech keyboard case seven years ago. It’s never let me down dropped my iPad a couple times, but never broke anything. What’s nice is in the car or laying down on the couch, you can just pull it apart and skip the keyboard really convenient. Can’t do that with a MacBook.
Im thinking about the 11 inch as well plus itll save me some money
Can you comment back here what your thoughts are once you get it? I'm looking to get the 11 inch, but worried about overheating and might just get an M2. Looks like greg got the bigger ipad
Damn. I didn’t use the education discount!
Why do you need thermal efficiency to watch UA-cam on a $2000 iPad Pro? lol
*Need thermal efficiency so that my 3 yr old can watch UA-cam on a $2000 iPad Pro hahah
I mean if you’re asking this question, you aren’t the intended customer. If you want an iPad and you aren’t a pro user, then buy the other models. This is great for certain people. I use my iPad for paying jobs. I produce music with my iPads. I use my iPad as a DJ during gigs. My wife uses her iPad to edit photos and design graphics for her business. These might be worth it for us and other pro users. Not saying I’m going to purchase it, but I appreciate that a company is building high end hardware for that self employed person or smaller businesses.
Omg literally putting all these things on the new iPad to justify the price when most of is just wanted oled m3
@@mattyin3229there’s nothing “Pro” about Apple’s products lately. It’s just a marketing term to make people feel superior and get them to spend more money. The new “Pro” pencil does barrel rolls! Nothing pro about that. Oled screens aren’t “Pro” either. Just marketing to again make people feel good about spending more money. It’s great if you can make money with the products. I’m a photographer and sometimes I edit with my M1 IPAD PRO as well but it’s just marketing.
Because it does a lot more than watch UA-cam?
I think he got sucked into the Apple trap. Bigger screen, okay, I'm spending £1500, might as well get more memory, okay, while I'm here, let's add the 2TB. Oh yeah, and the pencil and keyboard. £3500...
Right! 😮🫢😬
he got the 1 TB. So more sensible!
@@gosman949No! For a pad that's crossing well into laptop territory & not being able to do 50% of the job, isn't the definition of being sensible! It's plain blind fanboyism!
@@BlackHawkTejas then it's not for u
If u think about the price then u don't belong to ipad Pro demographic
My first up spec (other than the larger screen) was cellular. If this ever does become a workable laptop replacement, it will be nice to be able to work it for hours without draining my phone battery anywhere I need to hotspot.
Because you are a tech review channel, you have 330k subs so by making a video on the Ipad Pro you will make up the 2000$ that it costs.
Great video. I bought the exact same config. You made the right choice on skipping the nano coating; several hands on people have said it looks slightly washed out and a little less sharp with the coating. Similar reports from the same coating on iMacs.
You’re totally right. The thinness is actually what I think is the most interesting thing about this new iPad
why they made it thinner and lighter: 1. it'll be easier to break, and if it does, they can gouge you on repairs. maybe you'll have to buy it twice. 2. despite chip efficiencies, they didn't want to improve battery life. making it thinner meant they could shrink the battery. smaller batteries are less capable and have a shorter lives. 3. you already own accessories? good luck with that. they won't work anymore.
apple!
Exactly! I fully agree with you!
While I understand the need for removal of 1 camera module & better OLED display!
Apple needed to improve the woeful battery life & the restrictive iPad OS, making it 5.1/5.5 mm isn't & should not have been the priority. Don't think people would have any problem if the iPad was 6 or 7 mm thick/thin, if it came with a real OS & better battery life. And the price is pushing way deep into MacBook territory!
1. Be responsible. Can safely say that I've used Apple products for 10+ years and have never broken any of them. I paid a lot of money for them so therefor, I take care of them. 2. More efficiency means you can have a smaller battery in a slimmer model with same battery life. Claims are that the battery life is roughly the same. Let's check reality vice claims before you knock it. 3. I've upgraded numerous times. It's rare that an accessary is not compatible with other models. But when that does become a reality, hardware does eventually evolve to a point that older legacy hardware is no longer viable. You know what that's called...progress. The only issue I have with the iPad is the iOS. While close, for me it's still not a viable option for a true desktop/laptop replacement. I can do the vast majority of what I need to do on my iPad at home but there are times where I have to switch over to my MacBook or Microsoft based PC to perform certain tasks. Rare, but truly wish the iOS would fully support all functions like the Microsoft PC does.
Apple care is only 10$ a month if ur gonna spend over 1k for a tablet it’s well worth it. Apple will just give u a new iPad if it breaks with Apple care.
My theory is Apple makes these sorts of design decisions so that the anti-fanbois have something to live for 🥺❤️✨
Thinner and lighter is for the people who are constantly holding it in their hands... thinner means harder to get a grip, more drops etc.. people will end up getting the type of case they like anyway. I personally don't use the iPad the way Apple thinks most people do. I'd rather not hold it and instead prop it on a table first chance I get.
It gets to a point when how thin a product is begins not to matter anymore. Eventually its just "thin enough."
The hardware does look very nice! And if you want to have it and own it and use it because it's a cool piece of tech that's totally valid! But I didn't really hear anything in this video about why you don't currently use an iPad, and what the new iPad changes in that regard. Were you really not using an iPad because it wasn't thin enough and the screen wasn't OLED?
Greg, you made the right choice. No compromise. I ordered the 11 inch iPad Pro basic + Pencil Pro as I want light and compact for my needs. What sold me is the 5.3 mm and the Oled screen. The M4 is a bonus but we can feel something is up with that relative to June release of IOS 18 with accent on AI. Besides, i keep my iPads for a very long time, my current iPad Air 3 is on its last leg, it was time to change and move up. Now I just need to find a big bulky heavy duty case for it ! LOL!😂
I wouldn’t mind a 6 mm iPad if it had more battery life…
Something I failed to mention is bigger battery means more weight too, is that something you would want as well for the trade off?
@@GregsGadgetsas an old timer who lugged IBM Thinkpads (including the IBM luggable which weighed thirty pounds!*) around the world for many years I glory in the weight/thinness on my 12.9" M2 iPad and the only thing I really want is a longer battery life. Give me a 3lb device with a 36 hour battery life any day.
* I always had to carry import/export documents each time I took my IBM luggable (Model 55/68) into a foreign county to do network debugging on SNA Networks.
@@GregsGadgetsYes! Why not! It won't be increasing the weight by 1 kg or like that! Honestly! The difference between a 5 mm or 6 mm isn't something most people will feel over a long time, but battery life, you bet they will. I don't need another device that needs to be connected to a charging cable most of its lifetime, reducing its potential. And the price is not worth what it offers!
I run my current iPad Pro for much of the day before it needs to be charged again. The newest model is supposed to have equivalent battery life. So long as the battery life is not being reduced, what I have now is more than good enough.
@@GregsGadgets
Longer battery life outweighs the weight gain for me as the marjijal increase in weight is motivating really a big deal
I should add that I’m a visually impaired person and I gave away my M1 MaxBook because I can’t use the track pad - the cursor flies all over the place and I can’t find it. With iPads, I can pinch to zoom and the way the zoom magnifier is implemented works so much better for me. Also I can only read web pages using Safari’s READER NODE and that’s a deal beaker for me
I am colour blindness so there’s not much point in paying more for super display asfar as I’m concerned. I have mydriasis which fauses photophobia - this means I can’t read black text on white background. It appears super bright to me and the text fades out
So, in cnclusion, with my special needs, the model and configuration I decided on seems the best value fof money:
I have finally decided to get an 11-inch iPad Air with 1TB of storage. Previously, I planned on getting an iPad Pro because only the iPad Pro models then had more than 256 GB of memory.
My current iPad Pro is an 8-year-old 10.5 inch with 256 GB of memory so the model I plan to get has three improvements:
1) faster chip
2) bigger display
3) four times the memory
Of course, if money were no object, I would get the new iPad Pro but with limited financial resources the one I chose represents the best value for money that suits my needs
I’m sharing your excitement. Ordered the 11” right after the event. Will be my travel computer + now that Final Cut Pro got upgraded with editing on external drive…🤞❤️
I think you are right! I order the same configuration but 256 GB. It is very good enjoy good technology when you can afford it! I can not wait to have the new IPad 13" with M4!
I do think you're pretty wacky, but I'm anxious to see what you think about your new M4 iPad Pro.
When they said they were offering the iPad Air in 13" I knew that would be the one I want. I don't have the kind of money that you apparently have.
When I got my iPad mini with Retina display (iPad mini 2), one of the reasons I got that size, besides that it was just so damned portable, was that the screen is about the size of a letter-size piece of paper folded in half.
This is my preferred notebook size.
When I borrowed my sister's first gen iPad Pro I realized that the 13" screen is about the size of a full sheet of letter-size paper. Ideal! Of course that one was still a bit too heavy.
I also got my mini with the max 256GB storage because I expected to load it up with ebooks and magazines that I could read on the bus.
So I'm all behind your choice of a 13" with all the power and all the storage. I would have gotten a black one, but that's me.
You paid about the same for your iPad Pro and accessories as I paid for my M1 MacBook Air with the RAM and storage bumped up a notch to match the specs my old MacBook Pro, but again, that's me.
The nano-grooved screen was criticized for reducing the brightness and clarity of the Studio Pro XDR display, so I wouldn't want it here either, even if leaving it off is kinda like getting a Diet Coke with your bacon double cheeseburger.
I can't wait to see what it's like to use.
No doubt developers will find new and interesting things to do with the haptic feedback in the Apple Pencil Pro.
And WWDC is going to be Really Interesting this year!
Function over form, I'll take a bigger battery over a slightly thinner iPad any day
Bought the same specs and accessories myself but I am an artist and Ipad over MacBook user. Dgmr I love my Mbook but I find everything I need usually on my Ipad, now with the improved Mkeyboard and Apencil and not biting on and upgrading to the M1 ipad since my 2020 A17 Ipad purchase I feel AI possibilities pushed me into the premium tier with this model.
You're very fast becoming my favourite tech UA-camr.
I, for one, have been dreaming of a light and thin 13" ipad since the ipad was first introduced. I can't wait until mine arrives.
I ordered the same configuration as you except black keyboard! I have the previous gen iPad Pro with white keyboard, trading it in for $510 credit and May 15th delivery. It took me under 2 minutes to make my selections. No Brainer!
Agree about a thinner and lighter design is better. ipados is the real area to focus on for that price but aside from that tons of great improvements to the pros. Exceptional chip and screen for example.
I have an iPad Pro from 2018 , 12.9”. I love it and carry it everywhere. It is very heavy though so I am very excited about a thinner lighter iPad.
That "missing piece" is there by design.
Its not that Apple can't figure it out.
Greg, I’m right with you Bro. Yesterday I purchased the same configuration as you but added the glass treatment. My reasons are two fold. First, for future operating systems and software. June will be interesting. Second, the screen and brightness. I love it is going to be lighter than what I have now, which is several years old. Not to mention FCP2 will be able to run on it. Yes, I wish it was less money. But be happy, you made the right choices.
Just preordered the 13” 1tb in space black from AT&T! Says it should get to me in Alaska by the 27th. I am so excited!
not gonna lie, this new iPad felt more for artist then for everyone.....
to be fair i accidantally bought a 2014 ipad thinking it was newer simply because of how well built and thin it was... i didnt realize it was 10 YEARS OLD and DISCONTINUED... that sucks
Thinner is good but I think you gotta weigh the pros and cons. Keeping the same thickness, increasing the battery and allowing the new Magic Keyboard to work for both new and old iPad pros definitely outweighs making it thinner. But I’m just disappointed the new keyboard won’t work with mine.
Exact same reason here😂 I was also kind of leaning toward the 11inch first because my MacBook Pro is 14 inch so a 13 inch iPad Pro may not make perfect sense for me. Then I remembered what kind of a display enthusiast I am and ordered the 13inch🎉
I would buy it if I can afford it now. I'm using the Ipad Pro M1 now I got it last 2022 and until now it still works fine.
I’m on the who was asking for a thinner and lighter iPad side? It was thin and light enough
They could have kept the same thickness as before or even made it thicker to get rid off the camera bump so it can sit flat and be more useful for drawing. With the increased thickness they could get a bigger battery and therefore longer battery life. Also add more ports and keep the 3.5 mm jack
Also then it won’t fold. Plus right now, they gave it powerful hardware and then hobbled it with iPadOS. Why?
Does the M2 have a headphone jack?
And with more battery they can also do it more heavier just enough to feel it uncomfortable to hold with one hand sooner like now.. because it's a portable device, not designed for only use on a table because it's heavy as hell..
@@TamasKiss-yk4st do people often use their iPads while holding them? Genuine question, I set mine down when it’s in use. It’s not really designed for one handed handheld use for anything longer the a few minutes. The phone’s better for one handed use
@@siloPIRATE maybe they have to hold it for a job...i see salespeople holding them in costco selling phones for at&t
do you think the 1tb version is actually worth it just for the full processor and more ram or should I stick with 256gb? I already ordered but im debating switching?
In the exact same boat. I’m not exactly a power user but would still like to understand how much “worse” the M4 will be on the 256gb model
If you have the money I'd go for it. Without knowing what iPad OS 18 is going to offer, you might be better off overspec'd. Like I said, if you have the cash, I'd do it.
Yes
I think 8 gb of RAM is too little for multi tab browsing. Therefore 1 tb ssd + 16 RAM.
Yes.. I already ordered (in shopping bag) the 11" 256GB Pro model.... It is replacing my 12.9" Gen 3 iPad Pro. Loved the big screen on my current iPad but then I have a 15 MacBook Air where I do any 'heavy lifting' on work stuff. The 11" will suffice for its primary role of reading, videos, travel companion. Excited about the upgrade to the OLED screen!
The bigger weight reduction means it’s got less battery so they’re able to take more battery out of the 13 right?
I completely agree with you, I remember when I purchased my iPhone 6 Plus, it was so thin and light, it was awesome, and now my iPhone 14 Pro Max is so thick and heavy, I'm glad they're pushing the design to the limit again, I'd love to see that on a MacBook Pro as they used to do, it's more possible than ever now with Apple silicon 😃
I bought the 11 inch with one terabyte of memory and the non-glare screen and I bought it because I had an 11 inch and a 12.9 the 12.9 was very uncomfortable to hold for a long time and I realize that the new 13 inch one is lighter, but I didn’t wanna take a chance and I went with the 11 inch with thewith the non-with the new screen type, I have to wait 2 to 3 weeks to get it. Oh well.
Thinner and lighter is always good. The best iPad I ever owned was the iPad Air 2, it was like a feather and I miss it. Since then they’ve gotten heavier and thicker. The main reason I’m buying this new iPad Pro is because it’s thinner and lighter, the OLED screen is just gravy.
Apple will not stop until thinness is measured in negative numbers.
gonna wait for your full review, please do screen reflection test and tell us if you can record at least 30m of a good gaming and if it feel normal or if start to lag
I think that the screen reflection is going to dampen and reduce the screen brightness. The blackness of the Oled display isn’t going to be well represented as well.
@@nnolimjesse7746 yeah I understand but what is the cool part of having nano texture? is not like paper protector screen or something like that
@@GigaChadBigW I don’t think there’s anything cool about the nano texture stuff. It’s just a display that doesn’t reflect light beaming at it. There’s nothing innovative there. They are product on Amazon that does this same thing while offering protection.
@@nnolimjesse7746I found my answer thanks
Great recap. I’m conflicted too. Do I get the 13” Air, or the 13” Pro? I have the original 12.9” Pro, 9 years old now! I use it everyday, and it runs great, not slow at all. Battery still holds a good charge too. I mostly use it for consumption, watching videos, researching the internet, composing emails when I’m away from my Mac. The new Pro is clearly overkill and nearly double the price of the Air, but that M4 would future proof it’s use 5 years from now, as the one I have now is a testament to.
Why do you need a pro? Based on your use, pro is a waste of money. If you got money to waste then go ahead
Why do you even need to upgrade your pro if your current works well?
@@MrDanielfff777 the one thing wrong with mine now, is that it was/is the base model, only 16gb of RAM. So I can only have few programs on it anymore, and for the last two years I get monthly (sometimes weekly) reminders that it’s out of memory, so I have to go in and remove more apps, photos, videos, etc. And it often runs slow or hangs when the memory fills up. My mistake was getting the unit with too small of RAM, otherwise I probably could get another year or two out of it.
Excellent review
Matt displays are kinda blurry, less colourful and just not as nice IMO. Also it means you cant put a screen protector on it. Just get a Paperlike if you want a matt screen and then your actual screen is protected as well. Personally I would get glossy and get a glass screen protector but as much as these new iPads look nice, I have an iPhone and a MacBook Pro 14" so I don't really see how having an iPad is going to make my life drastically better and it just means that I will use my other products less and therefore get less value out of them.
I was dead set on 11” iPad Air for months!!! But that spec and screen value… end up with the baseline space black iPad Pro and Apple Pencil ✏️ can’t wait for next week
i'm wondering, if you can charge the apple pencil 2 loose from an ipad, will it work on the new ones ?
Nope! It won't!
Hello sir, I want to buy an iPad and I want to use it for a maximum of 7 years. Which iPad can I buy, the iPad Air 2024 or the iPad Pro M4? Please reply to me.
IMO I think people are also underestimating that Apple has rarely been the type of company that wants to do something first. They want to be the ones that do something RIGHT. They don’t reinvent the wheel all the time, its more like they create different types of wheels. People are going to be blown away with how amazing the new OLED screens are. If i’m not mistaken LG made the displays and LG’s premium OLEDS are renowned for their color accuracy and smooth motion. Samsung OLEDs are brighter and more saturated, but the colors tend to be less accurate. I can’t wait to pick mine up. I ordered the 11 inch and i’m upgrading from my 2018 pro. I play games, watch HDR content, and do school work on it and the new display will make a big difference over the LCD screen.
I agree. I like it thinner. I bought the same configuration.
My 2018 iPad Pro 12.9" died recently. I used that thing all day every day. I'm 99% sure it died because over the years, it got bent just from putting it in my bag when the bag was a little over stuffed. At some point, it was definitely bent. So as much as I wanted the new pro and the oled screen, I went with the 13" iPad Air instead, because I don't trust the thinner pro not to bend again. That, and I don't need the pro as I have a MacBook Pro for intensive work
I was going to order the 1TB w/ nano-textured glass but delivery times were 3-4 weeks, so I switched to the 2TB nano-textured glass and am picking up morning of the 15th.
U can get 1TB at best buy quicker
My issue with the thinner feature is that they clearly made it seem like thin was a thing they’ve always wanted to do rather than what the customer wanted
As per usual
Love technology moving forward. Cannot wait to see what Apple shows at WWDC.
No new purchases for this normal. Like most normals. When it comes to iPad I am going to stick with my 2017 Apple 12-inch iPad Pro 256 for content consumption.
How much power do you need for content consumption?
M1 I think is the best, i can play every game on ultra
I have an iPad Air 2. The display is perfectly fine, even if the processing power is a bit lacking nowadays.
Do you know when exactly MacBook Pro 16” inches M4 comes out.? Thanks 😊
I agree with you bought the same exact config. I have a M1 air base configuration and I’m banking this will out perform and I’m also banking because it is costing! That iPad OS will prevail with some announcements incoming!
Is it true my Apple Pencil 2 won’t work with the new iPad Pro?
I wonder when reviews will come out
I actually order yesterday & ended up having the same order & specs as you. Except I ordered the blacks keys & I don't remember what the actually color of the iPad itself is!
Haha nice, hope you enjoy it!
IMO iPhone13 mini was honestly one of the best phones they've made over the years and compared to galaxy
Would ABSOLUTELY buy an updated mini
I feel the same as you. The M4 iPad Pro is the most advanced computer Apple makes. I have to believe, or at least hope, that at WWDC we’ll see a big leap in iPad OS so that we can take advantage of this incredible technology.
Sold my MacBook M1 MacBook Pro Max 16" and getting the M4 iPad Pro 11' to use with my Apple studio display (big screen, with studio display / small and easy to go anywhere without)
I am buying the 13 inch with 1TB, the new keyboard, Apple Pencil, but no matt finished display because from what I've seen in the videos it does affect the colors depending on what angle you viwe the display. I have the 11in iPad Pro but it is just too small for what I need now to work on.
I like the reduction in weight and the thinner design especially, if I get it with the new thinner lighter magic keyboard. If Apple decides to somehow install a dual boot system with MacOS, the 13” would my preference to use it as a convertible laptop. If not, I would probably stick with the 11” and use it the way I do today with my current iPad Pro. I look forward to seeing your video after you have had a chance to play with it for a while.
Are you going to compare the m2 vs M4?
Paperlike will give you the textured surface. It’s what I use for iPad drawing. I got an M2 12.9 Pro about a year ago so even though the super thin and OLED sound fad, I’ll wait a few years. But,…… I look forward to seeing GregsGadgets test it out!
Bought the same configuration in black. Didn't get the pencil, but may yet buy it. Will replace my Mac with it.
i just ordered the 13" with the magic keyboard and the new pencil. We will see if new apps are made for all this power!
I am w/ you Greg, lighter, thinner, faster, best screen, improved keyboard & pencil, I am all in on this update. Struggled w/ which model to get, stuck w/ 11" Pro b/c I wanted a lighter iPad then previously, only wishing I bumped up from 512 to 1TB learning after I ordered that the M4 in the 1TB plus has the extra core but probably won't make a difference what I do, oh well. lol
Greg, Funny thing is 😄, i was planning to purchase the new magic keyboard for my M1 ipad pro 12.9 . But later got to know it is not compatible with older ipads 😄
Apple should have thought about older ipads compatibility as well with new magic keyboard.
I know it sucks. One thing I hate is the lack of comparability with the new keyboards… and also the Apple pencil has 4 different versions now 😩
@@GregsGadgets Agree with you Greg ☹️
Forces your hand, want the better keyboard, it comes with an iPad…
@@GregsGadgetsI want a light weight Apple Pencil too, I absolutely love the lightweight of the new iPad but if the pencil stays the same heavy weight then what’s the point 😂 many artists have wrist problem, and I also planned to use it for long hours
It’s probably more that they didn’t think about it and said NOPE 😂 maybe they’ll just upgrade and we get the money 💰
I am still rocking a pre-M1 iPad Pro and I do not feel like there is any reason to upgrade, unless I really wanted OLED. The software is the missing component. I am expecting Apple to do something exciting at WWDC.
Thinner is great, however, I kind of wish they would have put more battery in it and left it at the same thickness. I have the M2 12.9” with 5G right now. The battery lift could be better. I tend to take my iPad whenever I need to get out during the day. I can do most everything I need to do on the iPad, and if I need the MacBook, it can usually wait. Moving the camera to the middle was a big deal to me as well. I do a lot of Zoom and FaceTime calls, and usually when I have it on the Magic Keyboard. It was always awkward looking to the side.
I feel you regarding the struggle during the ordering process. I really like the 13" with 2Tb of storage so I can download all of my TV shows and Movies I have purchased. I want to transition from Final Cut on my Mac Mini and start doing more work on the iPad, as I don't need the raw power because my workload is very light.
When will we be able to compile applications on iPad Pro?
Thanks Greg
Did you get the cellular model?
As long as it’s strong and not sacrificing strength.
Why are some of you people [what do you mean, you people] downvoting this opinion? It's an opinion. A well-informed one, at that.
My M1 iPad Pro’s battery life is half of it that it was just recently after the latest update. The battery used to last for four or five days with light use and was great to use as a tablet to read books, now I can’t do that anymore
I’ve seen ppl complain about the weight of the 12.9 with keyboard case. I would like to see weight comparison between the M2 & M4 iPads.
I’ll be using it with a case so thinness isn’t as important to me. But I agree that the display technology is worth the investment.
Made by LG but apple projects it like they developed it! That's where I have a problem with apple!
@@BlackHawkTejas the display is LG. But the processor is Apple.
Until ipadOS changes I’m good watching you from my 9th gen iPad streaming device
Quite a positive review. Very interesting. Love that it’s thinner and lighter bec iPad Pro 2022 is heavy. It’s what I currently have. Like you said, it’s the biggest upgrade Apple made but I am sure this is not the end of it. If Samsung has OLED, I am an Apple fan. I have everything that Apple makes from laptop, watch, to iPhone. But I am only upgrading to M4. Of course, the pencil is a “must have”. That’s all I need which is perfectly fine for my needs as an artist. Thank u for the review.
