M1 iPad Pro (2021) review: dream screen
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 тра 2021
- The all-new 2021 iPad Pro has Apple's latest M1 processor, originally designed for the MacBook Air. The 12.9-inch version also has an incredible Mini LED screen, making it the best thing for watching movies that isn't a TV. But for all that, is it still an iPad? Dieter Bohn reviews.

How would you take advantage of this screen?
Watching hdr vid
Watching The Verge lol
I have the 2018 pro for drawing. I’m very tempted to get this one.
Reading comics. Wonder if the comics from the Marvel app would look better
Just playing games and watching movies.
“Tenet made perfect sense the first time I watched it on this iPad, it is that good!” “Nothing’s that good” 😂😂😂😂😂
What a review! Pure gold
THE UNGODLY CAP made me laugh
That comment made me subscribe and go to the comments section. Aaaand of course its the top comment lol
😂😂for a second there I was truly impressed
@@Tigers.i HAHAHa same here. Literally paused the video to check the comments xD
"Movies are so good on this screen, Tenet made sense"
Best tech comment ever lol
How am I the only person who understood that movie? Everyone keeps talking about how confusing it is and all the plot holes. I honestly have no idea what they’re talking about. The movie makes logical sense and has an explanation for everything. 🤷♂️
@@thewiirocks yes, you are the only person. Most couldn't be bothered trying to make sense of it.
@@thewiirocks Tenet is the Android of movies. Bad
the movie was not that good tho
@@Hollow8291 I dunno. I kind of liked it...
As a Minnesotan, Dieter's explanation of how to deal with emotions is spot on.
100%
Lutheranism FTW! I never understood why Minnesota Public Radio never groomed Dieter to be Garrison Keillor's replacement, seemed like the obvious choice. They even own a station in California these days
Works equally well for us Brits - except for the exploding part 🤣
Grew up in a Minnesotan Lutheran family. All of this checks out.
Looking for a good tablet with the best sharp , image and good Color. I use my tablet, only for sociale media. Movies Netflix, twitch . I have an ipad 2017 ( 5e gen ) but its curving from heat. Grapchics is the most important for me so what should i buy?
Ah yes, time for Dieter's yearly "it's an iPad"
Same ipad every year 🤭
Best sentence of the video " You should never buy a thing today based ont the promise of a software update tomorrow or at the next WWDC."
MKBHD
The production quality is off the charts and Dieter is awesome as always!
Message to Dieter: I came to this video even after seeing that all others , mkbhd ,dave2d uploaded. I prefer your insights. Please never stop making these reviews.
The best triumvirate in tech reviews, bar none!
Dieter and Rene Ritchie are the best in the biz.
Me too.
He talks about real world usage instead of hype and specs.
He is basically the only one that explains why the iPad is so limited and the main difference between iPadOS and macOS, the fact that you can't install anything from outside the App Store. That's a seriously really big limitation for a U$1200 or so computer (yes, Apple says the iPad is a computer).
Also, his screen explanation of both how mini-LED works and why is good is great. And he found the sh*tty thing in the ebook apps, like none of all the other reviewers read books?
I watched all the tech reviews from the other channels and I gotta say Dieters insights were probably the best - you actually focused on what we use and the user experience instead of just what’s added in the IPad. Cheers.
“You don’t see it, until you see it and then you... see it”. Weirdly enough, I actually understood what he meant 😄
probably because it was clear what he meant
@@stonhenge4 LMAOO
Yes, you are very special :)
Mentioning the ePub situation on Books and Kindle on the new iPad was so important for me. Dieter amazing reviews as always, thank you 🙏🏼.
'If you spending that much money i think you might aswell spend more'
That’s how Apple gets ya
Thats the most tech reviewer thing to say ever 😂
At first I thought he was just trolling but nope. Dead serious lol

I love that you guys covered the screen in depth. Great review.
All is right with the world when Dieter Bohn comes back with ‘It’s an iPad’ 😂
The sad thing is in the 2017 video, “it’s an iPad” was a compliment. “It’s an iPad” becomes an limitation of the device now.
Everyone: With all that power, surely there's a sizeable OS update coming soon...
Apple: Don't call us Shirley.
The inverse also works. A Macbook Pro with MiniLED and 120hz. Then, there is no reason for the iPad unless you use the pencil.
@@Vlad-vk3mm that would be so expensive tho
@@Vlad-vk3mm well then that would make a pretty wasteful and expensive note taking pad wouldn’t it, especially the iPad Pro?
A part of me likes to think Apple is really keeping things under wraps and will surprise everyone with an iPadOS Pro like they did with an M1 iPad Pro come WWDC, but from all the little details on the embedded limitations of iPadOS (which really is iOS) nothing short of serious upgrades to the Operating System to achieve many of the things we (pro users) have been requesting for some time is not going to happen.
More Widgets, changes to messaging and Home Screen and , some select pro apps? That’s not enough.
@@Vlad-vk3mm Not really. Pencil is great, but general touch and the ability to just “detach” my iPad form the keyboard is something no MacBook (yet) gives.
@@AmaxterPlays i not paying an outrageous amount of money 4 a keyboard detach. more money than brains .
I just got my first iPad Pro 12.9 inch and I couldn’t be more happier with my purchase. The very small amount of bloom isn’t a bother to me at all and I enjoy everything about this device. Awesome speakers as well. I could never switch to a smaller screen, the 12.9 inch is perfect 😍
The way Dieter explained displays will enlighten a lot of minds.
The information about the Kindle and reading in dark mode was awesome, thanks Dieter!
True. Also shwocasing the bloominng on Pong - that is unacceptable. I wouldn't release a device with this performance to the market.
Thing to watch is, is the issue the same for Apple Books app in Night mode?
I have a feeling iPadOS is about to get a pretty big update, guess we’ll see in June
Same
@arnim I think the main reason for the M1 is that Apple will start to port some of their flagship creative apps over (but redesigned versions of course). Logic Pro on the iPad (even missing some of the functionality of the Mac version) could be incredible if it's designed well. I'm not a video editor but I assume the same is true of Final Cut, maybe even more so!
@arnim they better put macos instead
@arnim ok
"You should never buy a thing today based on the promise of a software update tomorrow."
Didn't you listen?
I actually watch this video on m’y iPad Pro 12.9 2021 and I can tell that this iPad is incredible. When I watch a movie I feel like I'm in the movie. The quality of the screen is amazing because its literally the same screen as the IMac.
Just to comment on the blooming, when I first got mine, the blooming was extremely noticeable. However, after I updated the software to the latest iPadOS the blooming was much less noticeable. They must have changed something in the algorithm for local dimming - it is excellent now.
Never pushed the button so fast 😂
Good boy
Take away:
2018: It’s an iPad.
2021: It’s still an iPad. Just nicer and more expensive.
It's Just Tablet 🤭🤭🤭
This was, by far, the best iPad Pro review ever! I subscribed! Thanks for the update!
Dieter is probably my favorite Verge journalist of all time.
"You should never buy a thing today based on the promise of a software update tomorrow."
Dieter Bohn. Great quote.
Tell a techie this and watch them implode

The new one is so good it’s too good for me. Bought a 6 month old 12.9” 2020 model instead, no regrets.
I see a Deiter Bohn review. I watch it immediately.
Great work as ever.
Same goes for Becca.
@@vident4341 oh 1000% too bud
The iPad has the pencil. that's the reason I chose it over a Mac Book. Just wish it had a fully featured OS.
Great video, many thanks! Do you think that with 16GB of Ram the iPad can finally handle and open huge images? I use some 500Mb-1Gb and more images for work. I run into the limitation here with the 2020 top model. It simply doesn’t support those large files.
Great video as always Dieter! 🔥🔥🔥
I just ordered an iPad Pro 12.9 inch and the AirPods Max to use as an inexpensive home theater system. I was very happy to see this review confirm my expectations. Thanks!
Great review. I agree, I want more MacOS features brought to iPad, not the OS itself. I love using my iPad, and it does nearly everything I need it to, so this is a def update.
The production quality is off the charts!
It’s very informative, thank you guys!
Great review, thanks! The bleeding worries me a little bit. Like you said if you have a black background and white details not so great to see halos around them. Is that a problem in other applications than reading apps?
Love that Dieter Bohn is basically reviewing everything 😂 we love it
The screen is literally why Im' upgrading. My 2018 iPad Pro is still amazing, but I need that screen!
You sir are a treasure. Nothing like you. Really enjoyed watching your vids evrytime.
Thank you for talking about the things most reviewers skip! You’ve earned my subscription and allegiance!
4:37 Looking forward to Nilay having a quick word with you on the Vergecast, Dieter.
Was waiting for this since the iMac M1 review ✨
iPad just keeps getting better and it's awesome
I love Deiter’s reviews
Man, thank you. I don't even really care about the iPad, but I stayed because you caught my attention. Everything is detailed, well structured, with a great sense of humor and simplicity, and the video editing is fantastic. Really, all the review videos you make are the most entertaining ones. Stay passionate, because your way to put things in order is fascinating. Thank you.
It's Just Tablet, can't Replace Laptop since Old Day, M1 is only a Gimmick for Marketing Purpose, Marquess Brownlee doesn't Buy this New ipad, He Decided to Stay with the Previous Version, I'm also also Wait for S8+ on August to Replace My S7+ Yay 😀😁😀
@@evelinecarolinelienhuaming1184 he decided to say with the old one is because the old one was smaller.
Also, this is one of the biggest jumps to making the iPad a computer.
The white magic keyboard is GORGEOUS
very thorough, detailed, informational and entertaining! great review !!!
Still rockin’ my 2018 iPad. It’s not even tempting to get a new one.
Love the honesty! It will remain an iPad for quite some time. Don't get any hopes for major software changes.
When I saw yesterday’s iMac review I knew that Dieter must be busy reviewing the iPad Pro!!
No offence to anyone at The Verge but My interest in watching verge reviews increases exponentially when I see Dieter or Becca as compared to the other guys. Another great review, Team Verge!
He's not lying the first time I truly seen the HDR on my iPad pro 5th Gen it almost brought me too tears 😭
loved your reviewing style. Totally agree.
Dieter is really good with the reviews.
Dieter is such a wonderful journalist, God bless!
Great review and the tenet joke was on point :D
6:04 🤣🤣🤣 bro I literally watched it yesterday and after this I am assured that it's not only me who ........
Yup, bought this solely for watching movies, so yeah, I’m happy! Thanks, loved this video
Ooooh... That white keyboard looks good!
As much as I want to have Xcode on the ipad or the ipad itself being more "traditional" computer like, I have to admit that there are some tasks that are much more convenient and intuitive on the ipad (Photo editing, designing DIY projects, home design, basic video editing) and I believe if the ipad took the traditional computer path it would hinder those conveniences.
Basically to me an Ipad has it's uses and a laptop has it's own and they complement each other.
True but you can only sell a "limited computer" for so long. It's supposed to replace the Mac remember. It's not meant to complement it. Virtually no actual point of the M1 in an iPad at the moment.
Well said. Thank you. this helps understand the limitations . do you think if I am being iPad soon I should get the one generation old so I get better value?
Great real life performance review!
My 2018 iPad Pro’s screen just got a very fine crack in it… it already had two big bluish zones from where I played dead cells and used the on screen controls too vigorously I guess. At $499 via Apple extortion to repair a simple cracked glass screen, I guess that’s my only reason to upgrade to the new ones… if I want to blow out my budget paying for all the little upgrades to it… I do have to say the iPad Pro has been the single most amazing apple device I’ve owned after a lifetime of owning just about every major bit of apple hardware since the Apple II.
Hey I’m wondering if the sidecar performance is better now. I’m looking to use one as a second screen while video editing
This is my first iPad ever and I couldn’t be more happier with my purchase, and with 512 gbs I’ll be set for the next 5 - 7 years 😁
Great review ✌🏻
I don't know what to do with an iPad with 16GB RAM. But Thnkz for sharing team Verge. ✌
Verge : It's an iPad
Apple : Exactly.
I’m interested in using this for coding in the direct sun light. You mention it only hits max brightness on HDR. Is it worth it for my needs? Could you do a video comparing or talking about this?
Does the bluetooth finally work with M1 or do we need a dongle?
If you would use this for drawing, how good would this ipad be?
I’ve got a question is UA-cam, Netflix, Facebook, Facebook messenger on the App Store on the iPad Pro 12.9??
Wondering if the sidecar performance is better. I’d love to use that screen as a second monitor for video editing
Cool take, I hope as many are that this year sees iPadOS really shine. Yes it’s still an iPad but it could certainly do way more.
How’s the white case?
1) I was so hoping that the difference between the two screens wasn't going to be as big as you mentioned.
2) If Apple magically allows for external monitor support, without mirroring, in iPadOS 15, this may be worth getting
Just got one, upgraded from my 1st gen pro from 2016. Well worth it!
Best iPad Pro review on UA-cam right now.
Awesome review!
Great video dieter
So so tempted even though it makes little sense.
I just wanna say that bloom will always be inheret to any LCD display because of dimming zones. The only to obscure it is try and shrink these individual LEDs even more.
I was about to order this iPad solely for tenet to make sense for me
Nice review. Kinda glad I didn't order the new one and still using my iPad Pro 11" 2020. I'll use the money to get the new MBP M1X when it comes out.
smaller ipad pro (and pencil) + macbook air is the killer combo. Use sidecar for multitasking on the go. You can still use any mac app. The whole thing costs 300 more than the top spec iPad pro with keyboard.
Happy with my 2020 model.
hi bro;
should take this one or wait for next year ?
I do appreciate Dieter's iPad Prose!
Especially regarding its untapped M1 potential because of apples current philosophy with this product line.
Herr Dieter is actually quite funny! I love his reviews!
Thanks for the external monitor test
Which configuration would you recommend? 8GB ram or 16? WiFi or cellular? Thanks.
Finally upgrading my 12.9 2017 iPad Pro to the newest one. I decided to get the 1tb model because it has 16 gigs of ram. Anything under 1tb has 8 gigs. Will it make any difference? Probably not. Then again when I went to order the 512gb model through Verizon. It was backordered until Nov 12th. So I had to get the next size up to get one in 2 days.
First (and only) proper review of the new iPad pro.
You're the best Dieter
The only problem I have with my 2018 iPad Pro is the lack of memory to keep apps open from refreshing. Now these versions seem promising. But I'll wait till they add vapor chamber cooling. Games I play run this thing hot and throttle the frame rate.
Are there any known differences in performance between the 8gb and the 16gb ram versions?
I love your Apple watch strap. What is it?
How is it about the new screen mini led after using for a week?i heard some issue about the dark mode..is it true?
Hey Deiter… can you tell me what color is your Apple Watch band? I love it and must have it! Thank you sir.,
Those last sentences gave me a very clear idea of what i need to get 😄 thanks for the review
What are you getting? Don't leave us like this man!
A new subscriber here, awesome video! Thanks for posting, can't wait for the next one.
Just ordered by Ipad Pro 12.9 yesterday from Amazon, it'll be here in less than 2 weeks!!
8gb or 16gb and why?
