54:24 oh man! You can’t imagine how much this conversation helped me As a creator in the Tech industry stuck in the same loop of making the same videos for every new product, You encouraged me to take a risk in video ideas, I needed to hear that so much. Thank you sam and jon 😊
Man, I love these deep talks. It really helps people in a creative field (like me) to hear what other creatives have to say when going through these things.
Sam, When you said it was over kill with the bend test by doing 4 ipads and that you should have only done 2 iPads. Thats exactly what I felt watching the video. I liked that you did it and glad you did. I think it would have made as much if not a biggest impact by doing the bend test on the new M4 and last years. When I watched your bend test for the iPads and you kept going on and on doing 4 iPads I was saying thats enough Sam, stop destroying more iPads, I get the point….lol. But dont feel bad Im glad you did it but I just felt it was a little too much but dont stop doing what your doing. I love your content and I love the Genius Bar and PLEASE dont sell your iPad mini..lol.. I still have my mini 6..lol
Exactly, the Pencil pro should be the same colour as the iPads & if the pencil running out of battery and being permanently broken is legit then Apple is over.
I found all big tech UA-camrs sooooo annoying and over privileged… Do those guys even consider the possibility that someone might not have an iPad? Because I had my iPad mini-the first Mini for my bachelor degree and I sold it back in 2015. And now I bought the 11 inch Pro and it’s so awesome. And MKBHD and the others are just wining and complaining, and coming up with smart a** jokes that I unsubscribed from a couple of of them because I found them so detached from reality.
They are multi millionaires. They think that everyone upgrades every year. They want Apple to kill macs by making iPads touchscreen macs. Why on Earth would Apple do that.
I remember a year or so ago you guys taking about how lame unboxing videos were and I’ve completely stop doing them as a UA-cam video. And put them only on Instagram and shorts and it’s made me grow a lot more on both platform. Appreciate the help and tips your bring for tech creators
So, with the bend stuff, I don't like it when Jerry Rig Everything does it too. I think that if you want to call something a durability test, you should probably be doing things that people would actually do to potentially break one. Like showing that you can intentionally break something by trying to break it, seems kinda pointless. Where doing something like, putting it on a couch and sitting on it, or put it in a backpack step on it or drop it. Someone who takes a knife to a screen and then goes, look its scratched now, it feels dumb.
Keep doing crazy stuff Sam, I have 0 doubt that you will definitely reach your goal. Saying this now so I can come back to this comment in 10 years when you’re there. Nothing but positivity bro!
I applaud you Sam for making that bend durability test. I really enjoyed it and did learn cool things about the iPad new n old. I think it was great you used both models new and old. Just like JerryRig proved the little iphone 15 pro held up great while the bigger 15 pro max was weaker and cracked during his bend test. So I think it was smart using all 4 pads. Great video 📹 👍 👏
My 2020 iPad Pro cracked across the screen due to stress from what I can only assume came from being in my backpack. It was never dropped or purposely bent. It was a major concern of mine the entire time I’ve had my current M1 iPad Pro. The first thing I thought about when I saw the thickness of the M4 iPad Pro was it breaking just from being in my backpack. Sam’s video convinced me it will be fine. I appreciate the fact that you blew $4000 for my peace of mind.
I think the massive issue @SamKohl is if you’d have just done 2, say one of each, no one would’ve really complained…. But the over doing it isn’t a great look. I think Jon is right about the charity idea. It hurts the bottom line, but you’ll gain some respect back in the community. That being said it was a good idea showing the strength versus thinness. A slightly different aspect to Zac/ Jerryrig and that’s good
My feel on the iPad durability test is it’s good to know iPads are durable by trying to bend them somewhat but to bend to break I think is overkill as no one in the real world is going to do that practically, so it doesn’t add any value
@@chidorirasenganz Hardly. New OLED TVs can already hit 1,000-1,600 nits in HDR and 500 in SDR. The bigger screen and 16:9 aspect ratio have a bigger effect
Jon has some great insight. I agree 💯 percent. Sam it's gonna be alright brother, don't beat yourself up. People know you aren't intentionally trying to offend anybody. Even if you made the perfect video there's always going to be some opps, you already know. You are taking risk and doing something you're passionate about. At least you are self aware of the issues and want to do better. Love the content guys. Keep it up!
Sammm I'm glad you made that video! I got my iPad Pro now and im not so anxious about it anymore. I may even only get a smart folio cover cuz this thing is so light and dense that putting it in a case and making it double thick is just killing the joy of using it
Their plan (I think) is to just end up with two versions: Apple Pencil and Apple Pencil Pro, and both will work with all the iPads (by next year, hopefully, but likely not, but hoping nonetheless), then it will be like if you want pro features, get the Pro model else get the regular one.
iPadOS lacks the ability to perform basic file operations, including mounting disk image files (.DMG), opening ISO files, and extracting archived files (.RAR). In general, even when using the Files app, tasks that are easily accomplished on a typical computer are not possible with iPadOS.
@@chidorirasenganz yes for the average consumer it would be. But it isn’t “targeted” to normal consumers but to professionals as the “pro” in the name would suggest
@@fxarts9755 many pros never need to perform those functions. the only time I open a DMG is when something isn’t on the Mac App Store or available as a web app
I have joined the iPad Mini gang. It's the best I'm so excited to get back to work so I can stand around and scan SKU tags and edit spreadsheets and look like a girlboss to customers while I'm actually just standing there reading star wars comics killing time. It's the perfect size device and I can't imagine why anyone would want anything else unless they're looking for a laptop style setup.
I have an iPad Pro and a MacBook Air, I love the way both operating systems works independently. I’m wondering what if Apple bought MacOS Catalyst apps for iPadOS like they for iOS Catalyst apps for macOS, that would a better alternative rather than bringing MacOS to iPad or iPadOS having dual boot mode. macOS Catalyst apps on iPadOS would require an iPad with M Series chip and keyboard while developers can add Apple Pencil support iPad version of macOS Catalyst apps. I hope Apple brings MacOS apps to iPadOS as Catalyst apps, that way Apple can keep both iPadOS and macOS separate as well as makes pro users happy
I thought the ipad video was very informative. I had no idea they would bend like that and still be functional. I would have expected the glass to shatter at the first hint of a bend. Thank you Sam for making it.
macOS is already having a UX touch ready like Control centre or Stage manager etc. I think they are working on a lighter version of macOS capable of switching tablet to computer mode.
hey you all, please follow the iphone 16 leak: it won't have mmWave 5G antennas, verizon and apple ditched mmWave tech, you can see that new iPads lost it too. Thanks, bye.
Sam what are doing with the bent new Pros? Returning to Apple? Shame. Or are they going to the trash. Cuz I’ll gladly take one. My son just dropped my 3 year old gen 2 11 inch pro. So now I have a cracked display. 😢 I’ll recycle it for you.
I don’t care about the middle camera. I thought that was a stupid move anyway because the iPads made to be held like a piece of paper or tablet. The size of the 11 inch is maybe a millimeter smaller than the M1 11 inch. There’s absolutely no reason to upgrade unless you’re coming from a 2015 iPad.
This is my own opinion, but I personally do not want the iPad to become Mac-like. I’m an illustrator and someone who has to jot notes on literally everything because if I don’t I’ll immediately forget it until a random 2 am 6 months from now. The things it focuses on, such a being a top tier notepad/sketchbook would likely be dampened if they went more Mac-esque. What I do want them to do is lean into and update things like Notes to be more akin to the traditional counterparts, such as getting rid of infinite scroll in favor of page sizes (this is also incredible if you need to print notes out), improve Books to perhaps work with Kindle Libraries and your public library to become a central location for your literature, etc. I have concerns about the new pencil, like how does barrel roll work with artists constantly needing to adjust and twist their hands just by naturally drawing? Again, my own thoughts and opinions here
The people whining about breaking iPads have the wrong perspective. That’s no different than literally any other video out there where expenses are required to produce some content. It just happens that Sam’s video was literally about breaking an iPad to provide content to show people how fragile they are so they actually can see it and determine if it will suit their needs or not. It’s an expense that will be recovered from the revenue from the video. It’s not like he bought iPads just to break them for no reason. He obviously wouldn’t do it if that were the case. Sam you seriously shouldn’t take that personally. At all. If people are frustrated that they can’t afford an iPad and are taking it out on you, that’s not your fault. I honestly find those videos super interesting. If I had a lifestyle where I was rough on things I would honestly want to know how fragile this thing really was before I bought it. Your video showed a lot of valuable information for making that kind of decision. Thank you.
You got the usecases for the iPads so wrong. Maybe cause you’re from an older generation that mostly uses macs/ pcs but the iPad is great. I use it for video/ photo editing, canva, CapCut, Final Cut, Logic Pro, garage band, pro create/ dreams, Goodnotes, apple notes/ Freeform, shapr3d, z brush, photoshop, watching yt and Disney, Netflix etc. playing games, zoom and teams meetings, bereal, snap, WhatsApp, iMessage. And all of that a lot. So iPads are way superior to macs
I appreciated Sam bringing up the bend video and feeling empathetic about people who might be offended by such destruction. I appreciate Sam a lot more for understanding the optics which Jon certainly didn't tbh. Kind of annoyed with Jon trying to dismiss every legit critique Sam himself brought up during that segment.
Why should Sam be apologetic for destroying tech? For someone to get upset about that is ridiculous. They knew what the video was before they clicked on it. Also, watching videos about $1000+ iPads when you are “broke” is your own fault. Do what you want with your own money. You don’t owe anyone an apology.
I am not downing you or anyone I’ve chosen to make a video about bending a device that cost so much money. The only issue that I have really truly is, I look at that and I see how many people are homeless hungry, and the money that you spent on a device just to bend it could have went to an organization as a donation to help feed hungry people. Like I said, I’m not downing you for doing it. It’s just my point of view of looking at when people are doing this to the devices. Anyway, thanks for the videos that you to make. They are quite enjoyable. Hopefully I don’t get slammed for this comment.
I wanted to share that I actively volunteer and dedicate my time to working with individuals with physical disabilities five days a week. It's a cause that's important to me. As for you, are you engaged in any volunteer work or community service? Also, I noticed your response to the video, and while everyone has their own perspective, let's try to keep the conversation supportive and constructive. Thank you.
You guys are so right. All the newish UA-camrs all just say the same shit. It’s the same review with no creativity, they just regurgitate what everyone else says. This is why I love your channels.
49:51 Jon, this take is legendarily bad. Sam had the privilege to take that risk. Most people don’t have the financial security to take even the first jump, even if they wanted to.
Movie/TV Show makers destroy perfectly good things all the time to tell a story and make their content, and no one says a thing about it. This is no different. Morons gotta stop judging/shaming just because it's a product they have attached an emotional value to. Same reaction happened to Garth Brooks in 1990 when he smashed a couple $1K guitars together as a stunt while filming a concert for TV. Some people got judgy just because they were guitars. Get over it, folks. The man was experimenting with product durability and informing his audience.
If I want to watch someone destroy Apple products in a scientific way to test them…..Jerry rig does it the best,Sam bending iPads is not groundbreaking or something new people have been doing that and people will continue to do them. I love Sam’s content it comes off as a true apple enthusiast and fan….But the Sam bend test videos don’t feel the same
…. Sam is a spoiled kid … Childish use case and about the bend iPad thing there was more creative ways to do it it’s not taking Risks it’s being stupid . If you want to t’es and improve the device use actual situation , even extreme ones but don’t just destroy for clicks . Be a user not a click bait author
I just listend to the part where you Sam where complaining about your iPad breaking video not doing well. It’s your thumbnail and title. Nothing about it would intrigue me to watch that video. Besides the topic. Who cares ?
My take is that wastefulness just isn’t attractive. This is ingrained in people from the time they’re young. If I was in your shoes, I’d just reflect on where these “durability “ videos fall on the wasteful to utility for viewers spectrum….and then error on the side of utility.
Yeah…. Sure Jon, I can “risk” going to jail for stealing a nice watch or a fancy car, but that doesn’t justify the reward. If Sam wants to become “that guy” that’s first to post a video for destroying every new Apple product that comes out, that’s fine. It’s his right. But…. That comes with certain territory. He is slowly but surely going from the exciting and interesting “Apple fan boy” to just another simple annoying UA-camr doing drop tests and breaking things. Sam thinks his new formula of breaking things, causing viewer shock reactions, and then posting apology “oh no look what I’ve done” videos is original, and it’s not. I hate to say this, but at this point, the Apple Circle is becoming even more genuine and interesting than Sam’s latest content. Please go back to your roots Sam. You’re a creative guy, but your latest cheap shot quick money making click vids are destroying your cred.
WTF does anyone actually do with an iPad they locked 🔐 down that iOS so badly it is unusable but hey let’s charged Laptop 💻 prices for an iPad Apple 🍎 is so LOST.

Watching this on the new M4 13 inch iPad. Still developing my thoughts on it
What is that aspect ratio like for watching videos?
@@hhh-rc5gt Same as 12.9. Large black bars on top and bottom lol but I don't even notice it really
I think the NEW Jerryrig Bend test could be “HOW FAR DOES IT FRISBEE” this could be YOUR whole thing at every product launch!
Excellent episode. Really enjoyed the discussion about taking risks and your future plans

I moved from my M2 iPad Pro to an M1 Pro MacBook Pro after this M4 iPad Pro event 😂 i would still like the 11in M4 iPad Pro tho! 🤷🏽♂️
I traded my iPad Mini towards a 13 inch iPad Pro… no ragrets
YESSSSSS - Sam
Please let this be a We are the millers ref? 😂👌🏻

Apple Pencil is a great input device. Plus with the new squeeze feature, you can trigger a shortcut such as return to home screen or anything.
Yeah it’s basically a mouse for a tablet

Just 1 min in…. I LOVE Sam’s video!!!! First bend test and I love it!!!!!
After seeing this it is humbling seeing the behind the scenes of it all I hope you figure it out and LOVE what you do Sam and Jon 😊.

Sam’s right, but wrong about apple content…. It’s not stagnation…. It’s over saturation…
Favorite line: "DO YOU KNOSNHOW LONG IT TAKES SIRI TO TUNE OFF MY LIGHTS!?!?!"
So Sam is gonna do a drop/bend test of the CyberTruck huh......
Why don't. you buy Applecare and pay to replace and then resell and get something back? Just say you ran it over?
That was a surprise, "going on" instead of "going off" 😂
I was thinking that too! 😂
Sam what are doing with the bent new Pros? Returning to Apple? Shame. Or are they going to the trash. Cuz I’ll gladly take one. My son just dropped my 3 year old gen 2 11 inch pro. So now I have a cracked display. 😢 I’ll recycle it for you.
Not even an Xcode port?
Jon is such a nice, mature, and aware person. I admire that 🫡

Try bending the New Air 13 inch. This thing is strong and seems hard to bend. It’s a great tablet with an awesome display and speakers and m2 is fast.

Anyway, thanks for the videos that you to make. They are quite enjoyable. Hopefully I don’t get slammed for this comment.
Thanks for sacrificing all of you large purchases, to feed the homeless. You’re a better human than any of us are.
Yeah, and you coulda volunteered at a homeless shelter or somethin instead of spending an hour+ listening to this episode. Be smarter.

I wanted to share that I actively volunteer and dedicate my time to working with individuals with physical disabilities five days a week. It's a cause that's important to me. As for you, are you engaged in any volunteer work or community service? Also, I noticed your response to the video, and while everyone has their own perspective, let's try to keep the conversation supportive and constructive. Thank you.
That profile photo tells me that you could have fed a whole block of homeless on your own
spending $2000 plus to watch videos on your ipad is insane !!!
You guys are so right. All the newish UA-camrs all just say the same shit. It’s the same review with no creativity, they just regurgitate what everyone else says. This is why I love your channels.
most printers are wireless now. no one uses usbc printers. apple has all the stats so they know what people need and want
Jon, time's up. Next episode better feature Jango as a special guest up close or we Jan 6th the Genius Bar Podcast
I am 6.6. How is 6.2 tall?
1:17:40 damn, no more FPT Pixel leak videos 😢
(Genuinely a bit sad as I'm an Android user (Pixel 6a))
Your dad stared down Mother Nature to bend 4 ipads 😢
Get Luke to fix the iPads you bent! 🤣
Dub dub… so cool
13 iPad is terrible for watching videos. That aspect ratio makes it so half the screen is black
49:51 Jon, this take is legendarily bad. Sam had the privilege to take that risk. Most people don’t have the financial security to take even the first jump, even if they wanted to.
I can't believe that Jon has replaced Sam with Megamind
Movie/TV Show makers destroy perfectly good things all the time to tell a story and make their content, and no one says a thing about it. This is no different. Morons gotta stop judging/shaming just because it's a product they have attached an emotional value to. Same reaction happened to Garth Brooks in 1990 when he smashed a couple $1K guitars together as a stunt while filming a concert for TV. Some people got judgy just because they were guitars. Get over it, folks. The man was experimenting with product durability and informing his audience.
If I want to watch someone destroy Apple products in a scientific way to test them…..Jerry rig does it the best,Sam bending iPads is not groundbreaking or something new people have been doing that and people will continue to do them. I love Sam’s content it comes off as a true apple enthusiast and fan….But the Sam bend test videos don’t feel the same
And Sam wonders why Apple does not invite him to the campus. Childish behavior.
…. Sam is a spoiled kid …
Childish use case and about the bend iPad thing there was more creative ways to do it it’s not taking Risks it’s being stupid . If you want to t’es and improve the device use actual situation , even extreme ones but don’t just destroy for clicks . Be a user not a click bait author
I just listend to the part where you Sam where complaining about your iPad breaking video not doing well. It’s your thumbnail and title. Nothing about it would intrigue me to watch that video. Besides the topic. Who cares ?
You guys are lambo rich??
I don't have any issue with a UA-camr doing a test. - It's a test. It lets us all see how strong or fragile a device is.
My take is that wastefulness just isn’t attractive. This is ingrained in people from the time they’re young. If I was in your shoes, I’d just reflect on where these “durability “ videos fall on the wasteful to utility for viewers spectrum….and then error on the side of utility.
@@Ronniezim I guess this means you wont sleep with Sam now. His loss.
@@POVwithRC it means what I said..not what “you guess”..
YES!!!!!
Pen Pineapple Apple Pen, Pro
It’s just an oiled panel dude. You need to calm down. Omfg. 🤦🏼♂️
28:40 I'm glad it didn't
In order to be the world's best Apple UA-camr, I kinda think you would need to be invited to some Apple Events. Just sayin...
Yeah…. Sure Jon, I can “risk” going to jail for stealing a nice watch or a fancy car, but that doesn’t justify the reward. If Sam wants to become “that guy” that’s first to post a video for destroying every new Apple product that comes out, that’s fine. It’s his right. But…. That comes with certain territory. He is slowly but surely going from the exciting and interesting “Apple fan boy” to just another simple annoying UA-camr doing drop tests and breaking things. Sam thinks his new formula of breaking things, causing viewer shock reactions, and then posting apology “oh no look what I’ve done” videos is original, and it’s not. I hate to say this, but at this point, the Apple Circle is becoming even more genuine and interesting than Sam’s latest content. Please go back to your roots Sam. You’re a creative guy, but your latest cheap shot quick money making click vids are destroying your cred.
“Crazy stuff” is not breaking iPads. In an unscientific way
Apple Pencil being dead does not brick the pencil. That is not true.
Happened to 2 of mine also
WTF does anyone actually do with an iPad they locked 🔐 down that iOS so badly it is unusable but hey let’s charged Laptop 💻 prices for an iPad Apple 🍎 is so LOST. I’m planning my escape cancelled all my Apple subscriptions. Moved over to Gmail and Google at least I have a future with AI. Apple never I mean never changes I have had ENOUGH. 😢
