M4 iPad Pro Nano-Texture HONEST Review: One Month Later!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лип 2024
- The M4 iPad Pro models that Apple released earlier this year have a display upgrade option that allows you to purchase nano-texture display glass, which is supposed to cut down on glare.
We've already reviewed the iPad Pro, but we thought we'd revisit the nano-texture glass upgrade to see if it's worth the purchase price.

The nano glass also makes text appear to sit on top of the screen rather than behind a sheet of glass. This is particularly impressive in dark mode and looks amazing. Reading while sat on a fast moving train on a sunny day is a whole new experience.
I wonder if we’ll ever get nano texture option for iPhone Pro series. Would be good for outdoor usage
I feel the non nano textured one looks more premium
I do love the nano texture display, as my workplace has a lot of bright lights that reflects on screens, now I can watch movies without having blown out areas, but does seem overall SLIGHTLY less bright, but worth it tbh. Unless you don’t have AppleCare, then I’d recommend a matte screen protector
What about a "paper" screen protector on the standard glass as an inexpensive alternative? It would be great to see a comparison.
Plenty of comparisons on this platform. Not nearly the same. But has its own pros and cons, and for some people it’s the better option. It’s just not the same as the nano glass.
Omg you guys! He’s HONEST this time!
lol those headlines always get me. “AN HONEST REVIEW” “THE TRUTH ABOUT…”
lol, my initial thought also, I was like "did he just admit in the title that he's not always honest?"
Why is the matte screen not available in the lower storage configuration again?????
You know why silly goose
Because Apple has to make the share holders happy and not the users. Easily to understand.
Wrong, it’s aimed at certain people, there’s far more involved into adding nano textured displays and let’s face it how many parents allow there kids to use their iPads and drop them numerous times? So out pops apple care constant repairs for the nano textured displays, so now parents who have spent thousands of dollars on an iPad they will think twice before allowing kids to borrow it, people abuse apple care let’s face it and if they didn’t then we wouldn’t have this issue, FYI I have purchased the full package the 2TB nano textured 13” iPad Pro with matching keyboard and pencil pro which I wish they would bring a range of colours and it’s cost me in total £3670 and I certainly 100% won’t be allowing my younger nephew’s to use it, and to be fair this new device has rendered my MacBook Pro M3 Max void as it does more and it’s far more portable, touch screen, practically same typing experience, i literally have only a few minor gripes but it doesn’t change the fact this is by far a game changer for professionals, and the M4 chip is insane I seriously cannot wait for AI
if you do or don’t have it i seriously do suggest buying one, im even contemplating purchasing the 11” 1TB standard glass as a backup or throw around one and using my 13” to attend work meetings, clients etc the whole apple eco system is great I can also copy something from iPhone and immediately paste it on my iPad including photos pictures etc web pages, stage manager is excellent 👌 and the brightness compared to my 6th gen 12.9 pro 2TB is a whole new level, i really don’t see that to much of a difference when it comes to the oled screen colours with the nano, it basically looks almost like a fake screen which gives it a more expensive feel, IF and they will apple bring this to the new MacBooks in the fall or spring I may trade in my old MacBook for the M4 Pro chip not the max this time around
So you can’t get the Nano-texture if you need it, unless you get more storage (with ridiculous price) whether you need it or not.
What's the difference between nano texture display and anti reflective screen on samsung s24u?
Please don’t turn the iPad sizes into a fight. It’s a subjective decision decision. On top of that it’s very likely influenced by body size, at least to some extent. For example, my girlfriend who is 5’2” think my 16 inch MacBook Pro is way too heavy, whereas I who is 6’2” don’t think it’s heavy at all. I have the bigger iPad because I want a larger screen one of you content, whereas you who might be the same body size as me, Mike want the 11 inch iPad because you just want something that’s a little bit easier to hold. It’s 100% subjective and it’s not something anyone should be or needs to be a team about.
My girlfriend is only 4'8" but she acknowledges that my larger iPad and Macbook are objectively superior devices.
@@hdhdhhehe6709its all just personal preferences at the end of the day
@@baoboba that’s what inferior people say
You said if you need all that power. What are you talking about? You cant even use that power.
I only wonder why the heck is it hidden behind "at least 1TB storage" wall
Greed.
No. The storage pricing is down to greed for sure. But this option is only meant for people that use ipads as actual professional tools. And they can't make infinite SKUs so they had to make a decision. They can only have so many models so it would either be a low storage + nano and one high or just two high storage options. The latter makes the most sense since you can sink the BOM into their fraudulent nand prices. That is the obvious reason why.
@@fVNzO this is a good analysis.
@@fcztyuo876b6 Also forgot to mention there are two color options, cellular for every single option as well meaning for every nano texture option you have 4 SKU's. And they removed the 128GB models this time so the overall number is the same as before. To make room for more Nano options they need to gatekeep either cellular or make 512GB the lowest tier. It's really not that hard to fathom, apple are relentless with their supply chains. Nothing is done on a whim.
Love your shirt. Go Guards
You'd really be surprised by how light this thing is, even with the 13-inch model...
What would the nano screen be like with a screen protector on top? I want to protect my investment, but think it will nullify the $$ spent on the feature itself. Considering a matte screen protector as it does both; protects and helps with glare? Sure, it's a consumable, but protects the cost of new screen (unprotected), amiright?
I want to put a magnetic screen protector for travel
Please do a comparison between Nano texture VS the 75% antireflective gorilla glass armor on the S24 ultra 🥺
Have to slightly disagree with you on fingerprints and issue a word for warning - because I had to return my M4 iPad Pro and replace it with the standard glass. Here's why? Yes - slightly fewer fingerprints, but those are harder to clean off. What's not obvious when you buy it is you can only clean the nano-texture with the supplied cloth - and that isn't just marketing BS. Other cloths have almost no effect. What's more, you have to clean with some vigour.
No liquids other than occasional use of isopropyl alcohol - this makes it a pretty needy screen and a month of use was more than enough for me - and, 'can only clean with our cloth' and other restrictions should be made clear as a warning at the point of sale.
But that's not the worst. After putting this in a backpack, with the Apple Magic Keyboard attached, and a few other things in the pack, I arrived at my destination after an hour of travelling only to find that there were two prominent horizontal lines marked on the display. These were impossible to remove - I didn't have the cloth with me - and highly distracting.
Around the keys of the Magic Keyboard is a raised lip - this had been in contact with the glass, and the pressure from carrying it in backpack had marked the glass. When I got back home, I was able to remove them - with extreme vigour - using the cloth provided - but it took almost five minutes.
Now I loved the screen, but come on. The idea of a portable computing device, designed to be used with your fingers, and you need to carry a special cloth with you, and putting it in a backpack marks the screen badly? I'm not exaggerating this. My biggest worries were - I can't carry this with other things in a pack (?!) but mostly - over time, will these become permanent? Honestly, they were tough to remove.
Good news is that Apple agreed to refund and I bought the same model without the nano-texture and I'm very happy with it. The agents I spoke to (it had to be escalated up twice) were great, and really shocked - promising to pass this to the development team. For clarity, I've been an iPad user since the first model and while it's my secondary device I use it all day and often travel only with that, so I have a lot of lived experience with various models.
bro have you heard of paragraphs?
@@Sartheris 😃have edited thanks
This comment was more helpful than all the other reviews I’ve seen so far regarding the nano texture models. Thank you!
@@NotMarkMarc Thank you!
Thank you, now I could actually read it!
Yours sounds like a very specific problem. I mean, you took a very slim and delicate device, put it together with other stuff in a bag, and you are surprised it was almost damaged? Of course man, you are not supposed to do that
So Apple’s doing the Paper-Like thing 😂
Does it need a special cloth?
No
Actually, the cloth is included.
In the instructions Apple recommends to use only their cloth, implying it could damage the finish if you use another cloth. Just because of that I went with the standard display and screen protector. I recommend going glossy + screen protector to not have to worry about it.
I have a special cloth right here
@@Aaron_Bleuso if i buy the nano texture one, how much is the cloth if i lose it? 49$?🗿
11in iPadPro 1TB Nano ... test form factor + screen display for the money.
Ah yes, this feature is also 5 bucks on Amazon
The nano screen is really meant for viewing, putting it on a touchscreen is kind of dumb or rather ppl buying it to use anything other than viewing going to have a bad time “future-proofing”
Do you think this nano-textured layer is going to come out?
Team white keyboard or team black keyboard?
Black
Like them both but I think white?
This has been the biggest dilemma for me lol 😂
@@David4413 I like black keyboard part, but white back side. So, I think black.
😅😮 if it shines outdoors its bust 😅
I went with Paperlike and saved literally hundreds of dollars over a nano glass version. Recommended.
I love mine. And no I don't just use it for media consumption. The 13 inch is great for my professional work. Yes, Apple should wake up and fix the file system. Would I spend the money again after using it for more than a month? Absolutely.
The 13 inch model is lighter than the 11inch too
13in is 1.28LBS, 11in is .99LBS
Hope you all make to a point you can prosper & provide 🙏🏽
Make it a Mac Pad then I’ll buy
go team 13
Disappointed & returned.
The most disappointing iPad yet. I hope the new iPad OS update has features that help the iPad’s form factor. The iPad is underused and way too powerful.
