I really appreciate your reasoning to not call this a review but a first impressions video. Sadly most channels rush out a video and act like they now everything about the product already and you taking a step back and talking about the circumstances under which you conducted your testing is really something to appreciate. First video I saw of your channel but you already earned my like and sub 👍
THANK YOU for not rushing a review!
I'm glad to hear you and others say that. It was a tight turnaround time and I got to there point where I just wasn't happy with video. Feels good to know people appreciate quality over speed.
@@thebradcolbow forever and always Brad! 💖Quality stays important!
@@thebradcolbowyes thank you.
I’m am a pro illustrator and this is the “review” I’ve been looking for. All the other tech reviewers don’t use iPads day to day for work so their reactions towards it are odd. Of course they’re miffed by the new Pros power because they don’t use it.
I usually do 3000px and run all the way up to 54 max layers in procreate on my 2020 Pro. So the new The pencil as well. I’m stoked to get mine! Thanks for the first impression!
100% agree and I’m in the same situation as you, but coming from a 2018 pro. New Pro is nice but it’s hard to justify the 500$ bump to get 16gb of ram. And then when I’m comparing the air and pro 13” 8gb models the 13” air seems like a better deal than the Pro!? Am I crazy?
I always think most owners of an iPad Pro are only using max 5% of the possibilities. I'm using it for private and work and I probably use 75% if not more of what's possible with an iPad. My old 1TB 2020 iPad Pro is 90% full. Only 100gB free space so ordered the 2TB now 😂 My iPad Pro also replaced my 27" iMac long time ago and only because of astrophotography I'm thinking of buying a desktop again. The iPad Pro is very well capable of editing stacked astrophotos/fits files, but the software is not available yet for the iPad. Stacking 300-500 separate 49mb photos will never come to the iPad, but editing already stacked fits files should absolutely be possible. I would definately pay for such an app if that would mean I could 'live' iPad Pro only again 👍
So would you say the spec bump will let you do more layers and be more productive?
What version are you getting? 13’ or 11’? And what is the storage?
Apple hooked you up with the devices? Brad is now an insider 💯
nomad sculpt for 3d sculpting is great ...
Yes it’s so mind boggling why everyone ignores it.
Yeah, I need to check that out.
Yeah, Dave Reed’s courses on it are great!
For box modelling, I'm enjoying Valence 3D. I hear there's another box modeller coming but I can't now remember it's name..
EDIT: oh, it's Uniform, maybe this is where I heard about it :D ruclips.net/video/o_8QhuhD0yo/видео.html - as acually complete model, sculpt, paint... portable asset creation
On my iPad Pro M1, I get around 5 hours 30 min - 6 hours in Procreate, when drawing constantly. Did that improve on the new iPad Pro with M4?
Will you make a video on how it feels to draw on the new ipad air?
Yes!
@@thebradcolbow Yay! ☺
@@thebradcolbow _i am looking forward to this too. iPad Pro M4 is overpriced for me so iPad Air M2 would be a perfect choice if the 60Hz refresh rate doesn't ruin the drawing experience much_
I increasingly regret opting for the 11-inch M4 with 256GB, yet I recall the cumbersome feel of the 1st gen 12.9-inch model. Currently, I own the 1st gen 11-inch, and I've been enjoying it since its initial release.
It’s such a hard decision.
Been using a 11" iPad Pro since 2019 and while I've come to appreciate the portability, the screen size always left me something to be desired, specially on programs with complex UIs. I've seen the larger model (the one I'd replace mine with, size wise) and it's a compromise between portability and screen size I'll need to ponder about. I admit I have a Goldilocks problem with tablet dimensions.
At first I was so excited to this the new iPad Pro but after using it for a while, unfortunately it doesn’t change how I draw on Procreate, at least for now.
2022 mini LED still works just fine and great
Thank you - I think you are the first person to show what it looks like closed with the magic keyboard - even Apple has been avoiding that!
+1 for an iPad Mini Pro. OLED screen, M? processor, and I would like to see a high end camera system like the iPhone Pro. 🎥
the iPad Air M2 12.9 and iPad Pro M2 12.9 are the same, but the new air has the new Apple Pencil Pro, but the old pro has better refresh rate😭 idk with one to get, here in Germany they r priced the same.
I’m curious to know the difference in the drawing experience between the 13 inch iPad Air and M4 iPad Pro
me too
I appreciate you not rushing a review!
id really love to see a review of that new texture coating option!!! I'm not sure if it would be better than having a paperlike on, since you dont have to deal with bubbling and stuff, but you have a nice permanent, better colour accurate textured screen. but I'm scared of getting it and realising its actually really bad or something and then not be able to put a paperlike on bc it would ruin the colours too much
So I've been into the Apple store to try this theory out, DON'T buy the nano texture option if you are looking for a different drawing experience, there is no difference (or very very little, I didn't notice anything) in the drawing experience with the Pencil Pro. Only opt for the nano-texture if you want to reduce glare on the screen, it does not change how the Pencil interacts with the display. I'd recommend going into a local Apple store if you have to to see what I mean. :)
@@reubengecko that's so helpful!! thank you!!
I'm an iPad Pro 12.9 M1 user, your review was one of deciding factor to buy it and I have been daily driving it for 2 years for digital art. I really really love it, but I don't see any worthy upgrade on this new M4. Even M1 is already more than what I need, not to mention the extra $200 price increase is major turn off. I doubt I will be using the extra pencil feature, as I'm just using a separate keyboard just like I do digital art on PC.
Hey Brad, because of you, I bought my first iPad. I’d like to say thank you for introducing me to that experience.
I bought my first iPad a few years ago
Respect your reasoning for not calling it a review. It’s interesting to see it being put through its paces by you - someone who actually uses the Apple Pencil Pro and the iPad Pro in a completely different way to me.
So 13 inch still considered comfortable to draw on without table? I thought the sweet spot of tablet to replace sketch book is 11 inch. Bigger than that it will turn into "laptop" size where we need table to draw on. Still hold on my air 3 and pencil 1....hope they update the ipad os so the app can be more desktop like app.
I like your review brad. From an artist perspective and not from a tech guy who says about its performance.
Hey Brad, does the new Apple Pencil have the same features on both the new iPad Pro and new iPad Air? I’d love if you covered that in your review video.
Brad, would it be possible for you to make a quick test in Procreate (of course if you have older ipads with you) - create a document in size of A4 300dpi and tell us, how many layers can be made inside that document, depending on the iPad? I need to upgrade my 2018 model as I only get around 60 layers but I wonder how much more I can get in those new models
i am so psyched about this new ipad - my current one is a 2016 16gb air2 so i’m expecting it to be a revelation! 😅 i will definitely check out the drawing videos you have too, thanks!
Oh yeah, this will big a big jump up for you.
The trackpad on the old Magic Keyboard wasn’t a diving board design as you can click anywhere on the trackpad. It still wasn’t haptic though
Love your videos. You make the best reviews for artists. And you make it without useless numbers :3
How is the 13” for drawing on a couch, handheld vs on a desk or flat surface? Does the thinness and lightness make it easy to use in this situation?
I have the iPad 12.9 inch 5th gen
I use it all the time on the couch. And my bf likes watching live streams on it when he wants to use the TV for something else. I bet you the thinness makes it feel alot more like you're drawing on a sketchpad. But for drawing if you're intimidated by size, I'd say 11 inch would be more than enough for most people
How much memory is there on the iPad Pro you're testing? If it's 512 GB or less, it has 8 G of RAM, if it's 1 TB or more, it has 16 G of Ram. So when you say it has plenty of memory, I'm wondering which model you're using.
Thank you so much for this! Nobody online has said this!! I didn’t think it was worth upgrading to the 1TB but for extra RAM it is!! I was ready to buy it and now I have to research again 😂😂😂 thank you for this comment though
I was listening to this and was so confused by “flappy keyboard”😂
Lol, and I said it like 6 times 😅
_please review drawing on iPad Air 13 please. Would 60Hz display be a big drawback in terms of drawing on iPad Air?_
The nano texture is like a glass screen protector, its gonna be hella slippy which is amazing but at the cost of quality, but when its your workhorse you eventually don’t care and it helps with eye strain.
How do you feel about the iPad Pro 11, vs the tab s9 for art?
For 3d: Have you checked out Nomad Sculpt?
Great review. Incredibly helpful!!!!!
Yeah, buddy! Enjoy that! Mine is the 5th gen. and is my work horse.
First impressions stick. Always happy to listen.
Barrel rotation is “neat” come and it’s amazing to micic rel brushes or for calligraphy
I’d love to see how stage manager behaves with a second monitor while using art apps like Procreate.
2:30 thank you for the less glossy comment. good to know the regular one is less reflective
I wonder if the Double OLED screen will increase the longevity of the Pixels? I LOVE the way OLED looks when it is working but they look HORRIBLE when they start wearing out and it seems with all the pushing for max peak brightness they are wearing out faster that they used too
Wonder if you are using a beta procreate app, cause the public version does not fully support the pencil pro, palm rejection and initial curves are NOT working nicely yet
I really appreciate your channel - great for us artists/designers!
4:22 😂 yes even marq pointed out the same , like yeah impressive benchmark, but... For what ?
Glad I am not the only person who wants an iPad mini Pro 👍💪💪
Will there be a review about the ipad air 6? Also can you please review the dell inspiron 16 7530 2 in 1?
Nomad Sculpt is amazing and on both iPadOS and Android.
is there any improvements on sidecar?
Please test for apple pencil gen 2 in ipad pro m4
Will be getting my first ipad this year most likely. Hoping screen protector doesn't mess with the oled brightness or detail too much.
How many layers were you able to use in 4000x 6000 pixels ?
Im most excited for the haptic feature, barrel roll, and now the squeeze feature. Only because I always turned off the tap feature too. it’s way too damn easy to hit accidentally. I was wondering how the squeeze feature would work with that.
Does the new ipad support more layers or is that entirely based on RAM? I have the 2021 Ipad Pro with 8GB RAM, my art that I make to sell as digital prints (10800px × 7200px 300DPI) supports 9 layers so Im hoping to up that number to at least 18.
I just checked on my 2021 iPad Pro 1Tb with 16gb Ram with the canvas (10800px × 7200px 300DPI) and I get 20 layers in Procreate if that helps?
Thank you Brad! I've been a fan of your tablet reviews since 8 and a half years ago when the first iPad Pro came out. It's funny how so much, yet so little has changed. Back then barely anybody even knew what Procreate was haha.
I still say that Procreate was the best $6 I ever spent. I've literally built a career on that $6.
I'm waiting for the nano cut screen (is that what it's called?) - will simulate painting on paper? will it wear out the Apple pencil? - the view point of an artist.
I’m pretty sure the nano texture glass is going to wear down pencil tips very quickly, it’s going to be a thing.
you know what's something that could be an interesting variant of this product? an ipad pro max, same exact dimensions and screen size, but returning to the same thickness of the previous model, or even thicker, allows them to do a lot more, more processing headroom, better cooling for said processing, more ram, just overall the same package, but enhanced further, maybe expandable storage even?
Great video, dude. I dig your art style as well.
Love your content and excited to see your channel grow!
4Kx6K? Brad, i thought you were working on huge canvases. This is baby numbers my friend.I wanna see how many layers i can get with a base 10kx10k.
What's the largest canvas you can make in procreate? I design 10m long backdrops and 25m roofs. The larger the better in my case
do you have a video on what the best free iPadOS drawing app is?
we need a 16 inch ipad pro. i love my m1 and see no reason to upgrade till it gets a bigger screen.
Dame Brad is essentially my iPad buy guid
In your opinion is 8gb ram enough with this M4 chip?
It’s about time Apple makes the iPad Pro a versatile 2-in-1 device that can be used as a Macbook. Just like Microsoft surface.
I can’t use most of the apps on my Adobe cloud subscription because they don’t work on the iPad, and the ones that actually work are missing most of the features, including basic features like being able to add Arabic text.
I really want to know which one is better ipad 4m or Samsung s9 for art college students that going to learn design on different app and programs drawing and animations 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the video, love it. One question, you don't use Clip Studio Paint for any specific reason? Would love to see a review of the new ipad, the new apple pencil pro and CSP. Thanks
Are you also considering to review the Nano textured screen version as well? I was wondering if it is better for drawing :)
I am still using the 2018 version of iPad Pro and find I need the Astropad textured screen cover so not sure OLED is that useful for me. Also need MacOS capable file management to upgrade.
I'm a windows and Android person, I do not like Apple. For anything. But it's always nice to see what they're doing well. the pencil and the dual OLED seem intriguing. I don't see myself using a tablet that fails if bent at the charging port though, as per JerryRigEverything, even if that'd be an abnormal scenario for anything to be put through, it does make it decidedly more fragile.
I want to ensure whether you have a different experience when drawing on 8GB compared to 16GB?
I am asking, because there is differences in performance between M4 chips.
Some has been made about the huge screen response time increase between the new OLED and mini LED in the previous gens. Was this noticeable? Also, do you ever deal with eye strain or headaches from prolonged use of iPad? Was this any different?
Can you scroll pages (PDFs) with the pen, or at least change pages when reading (by clicking the pencil)?
I really loved the "impressions" and I am finally excited to get a new iPad, I have been using the first-gen pro 9.7' for drawing and lots of other things and really want a bigger screen including all the other incredible things the new pro offers. I am really ready for an upgrade, understatement of the year!!! I look forward to checking out some of your other videos, I did subscribe:) you also mentioned a discount code in the video but I never saw it!?! The version of the pro that I want is $$$$ and every discount possible would be great.
Oh that's an interesting comic you drew there. I wanna read it
I'm curious, how well the squeezing feature works on the new pencil if you have an ergonomic grip on it? I absolutely need to use them (and the slightly thicker ones, not the thin kind like from paperlike). I keep wondering if that feature will still be usable or something I'll have to accept I am never going to use lol
I would guess not well. Maybe I'll grab a grip and try it out.
iPad Mini Pro let’s make it happen!!!!!!
3:26 💯% AGREE
How to convert illustrations from procreate into vector designs in affinity designer? Please help
Brad, I've been following you for a long time, and more than watching your reviews or learning to draw, I'd like to purchase your art! Are there comic books that you sell?
What are your thoughts on Wacom’s new Cintiq display called “Movink”?
It's great, review coming
Yay I was commenting the same thing but for some reason it was never sent can't wait.
Edit: I had to reply again it's been acting up. Still can't wait though. I've been wait on Brad and Teoh reviews sine those two are the only ones I trust lol
Good boy Brad.
Thank you for the preview! I am definitely waiting to order until after you report back on that nano glass. I know paperlike is developing a new matte protector… but dang, I would love to not need to apply one (always a pain with larger screens.)
is this better than Ipad pro m2?
Nice video I never really liked apple tho.. Will you review the new surface pro 10? 🤩
I want to see animation, on the air vs the pro. 3d rendering and workflow pro vs air and SPECIALLY APPLE PENCIL PRO in action
I animate in 4K at 12 up to 24 fps and I get Just 5 - 2,5 seconds of video. I think more RAM is Important for Animation
How's the display of Samsung S9 Ultra vs iPad pro? Do mention the sharpness
Great video! I'm be curious to know what it's like trying to use 3D software on the tablet while it's in the keyboard case. In my case I'd like to use Uniform while making use of keyboard shortcuts. I'm wondering if that's something that would be comfortable to do.
Hey Brad thanks for the video! Is COLOR CALIBRATION any good on this iPad? Cause this what I’d like to see working well before upgrading from my 2020 pro. I also work in the dark so this old display hurt my eyes real bad, hope it’s better now and I can upgrade asap 😅
Squeeze feature do not work there’s a lot of bugs
Hey Brrad, I have treated myself to a ipad mini current gen one for Christmas. I recently treated myself onto snatching a apple pencil. just wondering will ya be doing a future video on art apps to snatch at reasonable prices? i already got procreate and procreate dreams along with toonsquid.
I’m really debating selling my M1 iPad Pro to get a new iPad Pro or iPad Air just for the new pencil since it finally has the sensor to detect “twist”
How does the air compare to the M1 Pro? I just wonder if it’s even worth it to get a new iPad Pro.
My biggest question is why get the pro over the air. The M2 is more than capable and it's a few undred dollars cheaper. Is the screen really a big deal? I have the 2018 ipad pro and want to upgrade and I thougtht the scree was already great, OLED is just meh as an upgrade imo.
Your screen is 120hz IPS. Air is 60hz IPS. Pro is 120hz OLED. You can't go back to 60hz. It's horrible. And IPS -> OLED HDR is the biggest upgrade any device can have. New Air models are a total joke.
Pls make a video about the Air
pro level 3d software for the pros...sounds great but how about apple developers creating basic needs in apps like youtube? At this point you cannot use your ipad YT app to add endcards/captions/end screens. yeah its a bit off topic but for this level of investment ($2500 for a base unit pro w apple care in CAD - its a concern)
I just got the 2022 pro should I replace it for the air?
Will you be reviewing the Microsoft Surface for drawing?
I'm in the market for a new iPad/Drawing device, and the Microsoft keynote got me excited to try that route. But I don't want a shitty drawing tablet.
If an iPad is a 9/10 drawing tablet and the Surface is a 7/10 -- that's ok. But I don't want one if it's like a 2/10, lol
I'm REALLY hoping that they hit us with the ability to install a variant of MacOS on these new iPad Pros, and let us use Mac software on them... can you imagine that? They have the power... the ONLY place to get the M4 chip is in these things, so it's got enough horsepower. If they truly want to move these things to the next level, that would do it.
Looking forward to seeing what you think of the nano glass with drawing.
So I've been into the Apple store to try this theory out, DON'T buy the nano texture option if you are looking for a different drawing experience, there is no difference (or very very little, I didn't notice anything) in the drawing experience with the Pencil Pro. Only opt for the nano-texture if you want to reduce glare on the screen, it does not change how the Pencil interacts with the display. I'd recommend going into a local Apple store if you have to to see what I mean. :)
@@reubengecko Hey, that answers my question completely. Thank you! 🤘
Do you think it’s worth upgrading from a iPad Pro M2? Mine still feels brand new but OLED.
No, probably not rom the M2. I would wait. the upgrades are cool but after a few days when the cool feeling wears off it's going to feel like the same iPad.
@@thebradcolbow just what I thought, same when I upgraded from M1 since I purely upgraded for storage reasons. Thanks for your input, this is my fist channel I always go to for art tech :)
