    Picked mine up yesterday. I’ve been an iPad first user for 3 years and have only used the iPad for 2. This new iPad with the keyboard is it and feels so much better. Holding the iPad by itself is unreal and the new Pencil pros haptic feed back makes you want to use it more. Is it expensive yes, but for someone who uses it for everything personal and work, instead of having 2 separate tools it’s amazing.

    Solid video, the iPad has been my favorite device since the first generation and finally upgraded from the 2018 12.9’ Pro yesterday to the 13’. I went with the 512 GB, after comparing the specs between the TB vs 512 in videos it’s practically identical and not worth the additional price if you won’t use the storage. Magic Keyboard is a game changer

      @@jay.san1 The MacBook keyboard is superior when using it in your lap, the 13’ iPad is a bit top heavy and kinda rocks backwards in this position. But for me when the tablet is on a table it’s near identical to my Mac keyboard and I really like it.

    Been a fan since your personal channel on using only the iPad. Just got the iPad Pro M4 512GB with the new Magic Keyboard. Feels like I’m typing on a MacBook with the new function buttons and aluminum palm rest. Definitely feels like an upgrade from my M1 iPad Pro especially with the landscape camera for my Zoom meetings, upgraded keyboard, and OLED screen for movies and streaming content. Great video!

    Thanks for planning to check to see if the keyboard folio case will work with the 13 inch iPad Air. Can’t wait for that review. I actually prefer the keyboard folio case over the magic case as it is. So much lighter in my old 11 inch iPad Pro. But now got a 13 inch air and would hope that the large folio case will work.

    I daily drive an M1 iPad Pro too. I’d definitely be curious to know how you enjoy the upgrade since you’re the only person I’ve found who’s coming from the same generation as me. I’m definitely considering the 1TB option (because that’s what I use on my current M1 too). I download and store a lot of movies (get tons of power outages due to storms so download my Apple movie library & various streamers whenever we get storm warnings here).

    When I’m using my iPad Pro as a stand in laptop at work, I need to use Teams. The ONE thing that prevents me from using it all the time, is the M2 iPad Pro displays the video in portrait with Teams - and since I use the iPad in landscape I appear on the side to everyone. If you re-do a productivity iPad video can you see if changing the camera orientation to landscape on the new iPads now fixes this issue (especially when plugged into an external monitor? Thanks!

    The 13” iPad Air starts at 1069 USD where I live, do you think it’s still a good value? I’m leaning more and more towards saving up some more money to buy the 13” pro instead, the reason being it’s lighter/thinner, has a higher refresh rate and is compatible with the new magic keyboard:)

    I’m considering the 13inch air but am tempted by the pro due to the oled screen but the £400($500) difference is off putting as I wouldn’t be using the “pro” features, my last two iPads have been the pro 11inch gen 1 and the 10.5 inch pro but I never used their “pro” features. I’m in the uk so wouldn’t be getting the power brick, the uk isn’t part of the eu anymore so don’t understand why we’re not getting the power brick.

    I think I’d rather buy a refurb or even discounted (but new) iPad Pro 2 rather than the Air. Just knowing it has Face ID 120hz and still the same chip…. I think better value for money.
    Unless of course you need 12.9 size. Also if like me and in Europe, having normal sim is useful for travel abroad or if you’re relocating. Rather than e sim.

    • @housepianist
      @housepianist 15 днів тому

      @@louss even if Apple could port most of MacOS on the iPad Pro, it might even make more sense for developers to create/modify their apps for iPadOS. They can do it. Final Cut Pro, Procreate, most any of the productivity apps from Microsoft were designed for iPadOS and are very close to their desktop versions. But for a variety of reasons, many developers just don’t want to spend the time and resources to make a full version of their apps for the iPad.
      So the question is this: do we want a version of MacOS for the iPad to run most Mac apps or should developers create maybe a 90% version of their Mac apps for iPadOS. Right now, it’s in the interest of developers to port full versions (or as close as possible) of their desktop apps to iPadOS. Just my thoughts.

    3. You can’t export video in the background
