This is why I hate the "PRO" naming. Pros don't use Bluetooth headphones for editing, they use wired headphones. Pros need their machines to talk to any USB device they plug in. Pros need to be able to use the best stuff, whether it's from Apple or someone else. Pros want a machine where their money is going directly to power and usability, not the Apple tax.
@@Dr1ftliveI mean, sure. I'm a professional and I need none of that from my iPad. Which is why I'm still rocking a 5th Gen one. The point is that if you need the sort of performance found in the new iPad pros, aside from a very few niche cases, you're handicapped by the OS.
Apple spends over $25 billion USD annually on Research and Development. If a product can't do something or is lacking a feature, it's because Apple simply didn't want it to.
They spend another billion on a think tank that comes up with ways to rip off things other companies have been doing for years, only to call it something stupid. Case in point: Apple Intelligence. 30 minutes of blabbing about it, never mentioned "artificial intelligence" once
This exactly, i feel like a lot of people view it as an excuse but i see it simply as apple knowing what will set up their products for future developmennts / make them more money, its not always clear as companies such as apple work years and years ahead but it will most of the time work out
Apple's entire philosophy has always been that they believe they understand what the end user wants more than the end user does. If there's something you want your Apple device to do that it can't, you're wrong for thinking that would be a useful feature. They've always been this way.
Fun fact: Most newer Samsung phones support something called DEX, plug that bad boy into a keyboard, mouse, and usb-c display supported monitor and you've got yourself a semi-functional desktop that can run a lot of that good shit. Samsung makes amazing tablets that support this mode natively. But personally, I've always loved the Surface computers from Microsoft. They run full Windows 11 without any OS drawbacks. Their only downside is their power but get a newer one from 2022< with more than 8gb of ram and it easily replaces laptops.
There's also Motorola and their Ready For/Smart Connect features! Granted, a downside with the moto options is that models that allow a wired connection are less common than ones that only support wireless/Miracast connections
Though once again, to be fair, they could step up and take a stand against it. Too bad they are taking a stand against spending 10 more seconds on the assembly line to add a 3.5 mm jack.
Worse than any phone manufacturers to me is some car brands that do it now. Theres the Cherry Tiggo 8 Pro, which you would think would be a better version of a hypothetical regular Tiggo 8 but nope, there is no regular version the Pro is the base model. Then theres now a Tiggo 8 Pro Max, like what its not even a bigger car its just a higher trim level, wtf China?

That’s what I’ve been saying! The iPad is stupidly powerful and iOS is so locked down and doesn’t have many pc like features that you basically have almost nothing to do with the incredible power of the iPad! But on the other hand, if Apple gave the iPad more pc like features, no one would buy MacBooks. That’s how the industry works ladies and gentlemen!

I bought 2022 ipad air and it has enough power to do anything i would want to on ipad. I was wondering what is point of having so much power when you barely can use it
It’s cuz Apple doesn’t want to step on their own toes if the iPad is cheaper than a MacBook even though they could potentially do the same things, unless they made a iPad MacBook hybrid at double the cost considering the lost revenue source if they merge them together
having essentially an incredibly powerful pc in such a small form factor and then locking it to some dogshit operating system is the worst marketing decision i have ever witnessed.
Yeah, but it costs lots and people are buying it for the 'power'. Hmm, it's good for 1 or 3 tasks, but costs the same or more than a laptop that can do ALL the tasks. Technically, its Apple best marketing. Coz, you know, the Market is willing to by $3500 iPad 'Pros'

Ordinarily I'd agree but you genuinely can't buy a better screen on a tablet the way you can with a PC, and Apple's upcharge on the better screen is smaller than a new PC screen of the same quality. Of course, the base model is priced to compensate, so you're getting fleeced either way.
"protect the envirement" "eco friendly" is NOT what you think, it means economy friendly for the elite. no headphone jack = pollute earth even MORE, now need batteries in headphones and charge headphones and also need charge phone. it would save the envirement more to keep the 7 cent headphone jack. but we all know, 7 cents for billinairs is more important. after all the masses that consume 1% are the "useless eaters" to them , they themselves they NEVER woudl consider selfish-self useless eaters even thugh they are eating NINTY NINE FKING |PERCENT!!!!!!
the dongles fucking suck, too. you can't charge it and listen to music at the same time, because only the singular apple dongle for just usb to headphone jack works, not any off-brand ones (which work with everything else mind you) with both headphone and charging through about 2 apple devices over 4 years, i've gone through maybe 12 dongles

Which is so ridiculous when you learn that the Mac Mini running full MacOS, is literally just the guts of an iPad Pro with a fan & I/O. So the iPad is absolutely capable of running MacOS, Apple just doesn’t feel like making it work
"pro" "no headphone jack" I wonder what type of headphones pros use 🤔 Edit: fyi pros don't use normal headfone Jacks that go on your fhone, they use crazy doodily doo machines or whatever, it's pretty cool actually
It's ironic. Apple take the headphone socket out, then have to spend the money they saved to make an accessory to convert Lightning to 2.5mm jack. I work at Amazon, the amount of these adaptors we sell (made by Apple) is phenomenal. Apple really didn't save much!! They're a clueless company. Their marketing is complete BS.
I've been watching some tech youtubers review this thing, and it's an amazing mix of "this is the greatest iPad ever, it's so wonderful" vs "this doesn't do anything that an older iPad can't do, why would you spend this much on a tablet?" That's how you can tell who's actually USING it and who just looks at the spec sheets and goes googoo over meaningless numbers.
Or.. maybe just a line between people who have a use for the power, and those who buy the most expensive one _because_ it's the most expensive one, and then wonder why it doesn't add anything to the experience.
Yeah, I have a whole RAW photography workflow on my iPad Pro that would totally benefit from the M4. I have a whole academic research workflow that would also benefit (LiquidText, Obsidian, etc.). The tech reviewers, whether they give bad or good reviews of it, are out of touch with how I and everyone else I know uses a tablet.
especially with ipad which can be very limiting due to their silly OS, even I don't see a very good reason to get new iPad over used iPad (good condition one of course). and i don't even own iPad. at least with gaming or whatever artists do you are guaranteed to get better performance, but iPad?
Dad bought the regular one for drawing. It took me and him half an hour trying to figure out the file system, despite the fact that he is a software engineer.
The walled garden strategy is definitely what's hurting the iPad to this degree. They can't make it too open, because Apple wants to determine how you would use it.
Yeah. At this point I think the best way to go about it would be to go the Steam Deck way: have a more closed and curated front that's tailor made for the touch interface, but let users go into a "desktop" mode that's just Mac OS.
It'd sure be nice if they would just make iPadOS not gargle sack.... But I wouldn't be opposed to having the ability to buy MacOS separately and load it onto my iPad like a dual-boot affair. If they're going to put Mac processors in them they might as well capitalize on the simplicity of porting over their desktop OS. Then again this is the same company who is only just now putting a calculator on one of their bestselling products... I can't help but be disgusted at myself for enjoying Apple products.
6:58 Wow, you're telling me that Apple is trying to get you to buy Iphones to use as cameras instead of just being compatible with other brand cameras? What a shock, I would never have thought.
Your instrument analogy is PERFECT - I started learning to use ProCreate recently when I bought a used iPad Pro bundle (with a keyboard AND pencil) for 1/2 the price of a brand new one, just like I bought a used bass guitar years ago when I first started learning to play. The marketing of every new iPad Pro is desperately out of sync with what the device is and who it's used by
And could be out of sync with who WANTS to use it but can't because they won't let it. I'm not even saying it should be macOS like lots of people. I think they're right it should optimize to its own form factor. But they just don't get it and haven't done it. It's handicapped. Make it do anything macOS can do just under new UI. Open up things macOS can't do because the touch UI can do more. Let it be a phone. Let it be a Mac, let it be everything. The form factor will still get in the way of it being the best phone or laptop so quit worrying about it eating into other product categories. Just unleash it. FREE THE IPAD!!!!!

From my mother's experience as a filmmaker with her recent iPad Air, and her subsequent switch to the iPad Pro, she said there's no point in upgrading. It just gets hotter, has only marginally better performance and is fragile. Just buy the Air if you really want an iPad. The smaller screen means the OS is different, and its much easier to use.
The iPad Air will do almost everything the Pro will do. So yeah. It's not super worth it unless you have money to burn and *really* want that OLED display for media consumption.
Im surprised she can work as a filmmaker with an iPad. From my experience all the codecs that really matter (for me) aren’t supported by iPad OS. If I want to edit a reel shot on my camera I have no other choice than busting out the MacBook
Finally upgraded my iPhone from an X to a 13. The 13 was $375 and the 14 was $550. Checked the stats of the two and the difference is so minimal like "It gets an hour extra of battery use". No idea why people waste money on getting the lastest and greatest when the upgrades are so small for the insane cost.

What annoys me most with iPad OS AND iOS as well is that they try to sell it to you as your content machine on the go, but only if your shoot your stuff with an iPhone. The fact that most professional videos codecs won’t work on these is borderline hilarious.

Some people say dumb things like "Mac OS would be horrible to use on a touchscreen" as if Apple couldn't just tweak the interface to make it work exactly the same while keeping app compatibility. like ok, instead of a desktop it defaults to the app list, and you remove those little red, yellow, and green buttons and replace it with the gesture bar at the bottom of the screen. Then you give the users an option to switch to desktop mode when they have a keyboard and mouse. You know, have a touchscreen mode like all the other desktop operating systems. Heck even my Samsung phone has a desktop mode.
Well, good start, but there are two realizations you need to come to next: 1) There's no possible way they haven't been trying this since the iPad released. Since _the Newton_ released. 2) If that product doesn't exist, it's because regardless what they try, it... doesn't... work... Microsoft tried this. If you put bigger chrome around a desktop window, it's just a window with touch-friendly minimize/maximize buttons and content you can't interact with. Fingers are blunt instruments. EVERYthing about the UI would need to be simplified and scaled up. This means less of your screen real estate can be used for fine controls. Unless you want your work area to be entirely toolbars, you need to simplify all the controls you make readily available, and bring in the rest via gestures and sub-menus. Basically, dumb down the interface so you can still have some room to see content. Congratulations. You've just re-invented a touch OS. But now, if that touch OS and your desktop OS share the same app ecosystem, then every app needs to decide whether it wants to expose all its functionality, or allow you to manipulate it with big grubby paws. Some will choose one way. Others will choose a different way. The apps fragment. Some apps will stick to one or the other, some will try to do both -- probably poorly. Everything ends up being worse, because nothing is optimized for the platform's primary use-case -- since there IS no primary use-case anymore. If you just demo a few apps that work well in this space, it'll seem like the perfect software. Which is why we *all* happily use Windows 8 to this very day!
I legitimately don't think that they need to make *any* tweaks to make MacOS touch friendly beyond the drivers to use the touchscreen. Like, I can't think of a single ui element that is actually smaller than ones that people already interact with on their phones regularly.
Problem is mixed input UI’s are shit. For some reason people who hate Apple tend to be turbo normies who think Windows is cool and good, but Windows UI is shit, ugly, and schizophrenic. Linux is still good because, unless you go out of your way for a touch optimised UI, it’s still made for desktop. Same thing with Mac, although it also has an inferior UI to most Linux distros.
Fun Fact: The Ford Model T. produced from 1908 to 1927 is to this day, the fourth highest selling vehicle of all time. Makes sense in a lot of ways but still pretty wild.
The current iPad”pro” is the tech world equivalent of a Ferrari stuck in New York stop-and-go rush hour traffic. Plenty of pony’s under the hood yet nowhere to gallop.
AGREE. i'm a digital artist as a "side hustle" sort of thing, and the ipad is very useful for very specific kinds of work... until you want to start animating. or have an actually functional file manager. or god forbid you want to do photo or video editing like what's covered here. being restricted to the neutered glitchy "app versions" of programs is infuriating and companies' refusal to fix it makes it even worse. the ipad as a walled garden held at gunpoint by the garbage pile app store is the #1 thing holding it back from actually being useful. some of the functions of the newest ipad pro and matching pencil are genuinely promising and desirable for me as an artist, but i would never in my life pay $2000 plus however much else the pencil costs for... rotation sensitivity. especially when the actual "super powered" tech only gives me access the mobile ports of video games that always get updated dead last if something new rolls around (cough cough stardew). just get an old ipad if you want a youtube and safari machine lol
seriously the only actual app thats genuinely useful is procreate and notability. and thats it. thats all. i seriously only bought it to have an art tablet to draw in my bed when im too exhausted to go to my laptop and do a janky ass setup with a drawing tablet and a laptop. oh and fresco. fresco if you wanna make complicated vector artwork. pain. hell.

He’s right on the money. Apple is with a “desktop” mode when you plug into a display/ dock. That’s the future of computing, and that’s why Apple will never do it because the iPhone is not a computing platform, it’s an ad platform and you are the product.

FYI, the "Camera" USB device class was first created in 2003! It has been unchanged since 2012, included in every operating system since Windows XP (including MacOS and Linux), and is still used as the default way for most web cams to work. They just do not care. There is no excuse.
Exactly. Even Android has USB Camera support baked into the OS so even $100 shitty androids can use webcams. It's just that Apple intentionally makes it difficult so that iPads don't cannibalise MacBook sales.
I guess but if you’re getting an iPad for drawing, graphic design, video editing (even 3D sculpting if you get Nomad Sculpt). They’re absolutely great especially when paired with the pencil. Which is exactly why I got my iPad Air M2. To draw and maybe write but I need the keyboard thingy for that
Yeah there's definitely that real side to it. But the other side is also real, lots of people want a portable piece of "glass paper" they can use for other stuff besides pencil art stuff. Apple needs to put a rebel in charge of iPad and stop letting people who want to hamper it be higher up the decision tree. And no I'm not talking about making square-peg-in-round-hole by forcing macOS onto it. Should just be AppleOS which is identical in all non-UI components, but running a completely different window/user input manager interface.
I literally use youtube via Safari on iPad rather than an app because it is much better. Though, not really Apple's fault on that one, but rather Google probably not wanting to feed the "competitor", probably
Fr? Holy shit "Opening a browser works better than the app" is really damning stuff, especially considering most apps are just a frontend for a web app anyway.
TBF, is that more a sign of a problem with the iPad, or Google's crap software? (Not trying to start a holy war here, and Google jet-packed us in to the 21st century with Chrome and all their amazing dynamic web apps. But then let it all languish, implemented awful UIs, and went on to chase other shiny objects.) FWIW, I use Google Sheets on iOS / iPad OS. It's.... fine. Will always prefer using a keyboard and mouse in a spreadsheet, though. With the iPad keyboard attached, I don't remember having any major complaints.
I’m in a Google Workspace environment and the iPad version of everything is absolutely terrible. Though I completely get why Google doesn’t make it better: they’d cannibalize ChromeOS sales for sure.
This is exactly why I don't buy apple anymore. Their software is locked down and that's fine and dandy untill you want to do something that isn't something apple wants you to do (not giving them money). On android you'd just find an app to record the webcam and it would work. Probably easier to get the files off of there too.
i'm glad you've captured the absurdity of having 3 different computers of varying power levels on your person and only being able to perform incredibly basic actions with the most powerful one. i'm a proponent of FOSS, not because of some lofty ideals some programmers from a few decades ago probably phrased a lot better than i ever could, but because i really should be able to run 2-decade-old games on what is practically a supercomputer
I had that realisation a few months ago when I found that it was faster to copy videos to my phone, transcode them using ffmpeg and termux and copy them back than it was to just process them on my laptop.

Imagine owning a company that makes personal computers and tablets, that use the exact same processor architecture for each one, putting more power into your tablet than a computer user could ever need, and then somehow not at least giving you the option to run their desktop OS on that device.
The pure greediness and regressive mindset of apple is just astonishing. Their groundbreaking innovation of iphone was merging every e-device into tiny phone, yet when they finally become the only company who using same architecture for every device they made, they refuse to merge it because they want money.
People say it’d kill MacBook Air sales if they allowed MacOS on the iPad but would it really? The iPad with the keyboard is heavier, slightly thicker, and even after you pay that $1500 for the tablet+keyboard, it only had 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. While the MB Air would be $1000 for those same specs minus the touch screen. I can still see many people going for the MacBook
I picked up a 2015 iPad Pro for cheap and it was so locked down and restrictive I ended up switching it for a Surface Pro 5, which gives me a full windows machine with tablet functionality. It’s soooo much better being able to do what I want, not what Apple wants me to do with my device.
The surface line is a heck of a workhorse. It’s absolutely abysmal as a tablet though. The iPad is a fantastic tablet and meh as a workhorse. It can replace a laptop but not near as easily as a surface can.
I got the newest iPad pro this year. I haven't owned an iPad or other apple product basically ever (had a short stint with an iPhone almost a decade ago). I really love it... BECAUSE I'm an art teacher and artist. The pencil and responsiveness of the screen are unrivaled, and I've used top of the line Cintiqs and the Wacom Mobilestudio Pros, bamboo tablets, XPPens, Samsung tablets, Microsoft Surface Pro (which is actually pretty nice too). I can stream my screen to the classroom projector to save paper and to do various demos that would be much more difficult by hand. Procreate also has nice built-in time-lapse software that lets me make super simple "long-form" demonstrations. Outside of that, it's an extremely expensive Netflix and RUclips machine. The screen is beautiful, the speakers are quite nice considering they're packed into that tiny frame, and the battery is frankly unbelievable. But, as you said, unless you're an artist, its essentially a paperweight. The biggest disappointment is definitely the camera.
Fun fact: iPads (at least the 10th gen) do support some webcams over its USB-C port. The catch is that the only app to detect and use said webcam is FaceTime. I cannot express my frustration with Apple and iPadOS about this. ONLY FACETIME SUPPORTS EXTERNAL CAMERAS. NOT EVEN THE BUILT-IN CAMERA APP SUPPORTS IT.
i was given an ipad pro by my school and i guess they expected me to do actual professional filmmaking stuff with it, but honestly the most use i've gotten out of it is just using it as a note taking machine thats marginally more portable than my old thinkpad
Samsung DeX is the perfect example of software vs hardware, say what you want about the chips and hardware on the ipads but being able to use your Samsung tablet like a laptop is incredible (and their phones as well)
Yeah it's great, except that Android sucks as a desktop OS. Mostly because no apps take advantage of it. So you can't really get work done on Samsung DeX. I would love to see Microsoft come back and really do this properly with a modern Windows Phone. They tried to do this before, and it did work, but it was locked to ARM apps. Now that they have proper Windows on ARM going with the new Surface line, they should try a phone again. A phone that can run ANY Windows app while hooked up to a monitor would be INSANE.
I had the OG iPad, the 2010 model. I loved that thing, but even back then I was saying "this needs to run full MacOS". If you need a professional tablet, you get a Surface Pro. If you want something powerful that can do double duty, you get a Galaxy Tab S.
I’ve been speaking praises on the surface lineup for years now, the surface connector and surface dock single-handedly completes my desk and has held me thru college
I've heard about that, it's so bad. Imagine buying an IKEA desk and signing a document saying IKEA is allowed to break into your house and look through your stuff.
Wasn’t the whole reason they did away with the headphone jack because they didn’t have the room in the phone to put one in but some how the IPad doesn’t have one now..

Fun fact about phones Samsung has actually made it so that you can plug it into a monitor and it becomes a desktop version of the android. It's a really incredible feature that should be normalized by phone technology companies
That's Samsung Dex - but they have intentionally limited that functionality to their flagship phones only. Not all Samsung devices are "capable" of that feature.

(We both work in the creative industry, and we earn little enough as it is without paying for F*ing SUBSCRIPTION SOFTWARE!) Also, our computer OSes. We both switched over to Linux some time ago and we’re never paying for Windows/Apple again on our computers. Hubby is reasonably tech savvy so he’s figured out how to find a work around for pretty much every compatibility issue. Also, RIGHT TO REPAIR! It's rapidly disappearing with tech in recent years. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad laptop that's a decade old now and for most of that time was my ONLY computer due to lack of space in a tiny apartment/student housing. Email, internet, youtube, most of my gaming, creative suite work, all done on it. The trick? I bought the pro version which back *then* meant it was meant to hold up to heavy use and you could take it to your office IT guy for repairs and upgrades. It's had the disk drive, keyboard and part of the case replaced and a RAM upgrade and once it stopped supporting Windows 7 (the last Windows OS that didn't suck) it got switched to Linux Mint. It still runs fine, too! People are usually shocked when I tell them how old it is because nobody upgrades or fixes laptops anymore.
The thing you mentioned with Adobe where they give it away to schools and students to get them hooked, they do the same thing with Visual Studio and software engineers. It's hard to get out!
In mech engineering, we were forced to learn matlab. Every class required us to program in it, exams used it, and it was a requirement for our senior design. Get out into the industry and to use the program it's $200/month.. WTF 😭
@agustinusreynaldi7101 even the old nokias had calculators, but apple's excuse was "oy we need to make the perfect calculator app" back in 2010, and they then forgot about it for 14 years
Except that the new iPad pro IS stupid powerful, despite how thin it is. You could make it 5 times as chonky and the performance wouldn't be much greater, what holds it back is software
@@Fernando-ek8jpCompute power is utterly useless when you can not get data to and from the darn thing! I need my disk space, I need eight or so USB-things to talk to my PC and I need the thing to compute quickly while I shuffle about files and make notes. The tablets of the world are usually "stack of paper"-replacements, not "hub of your work"-machines. In other words: What use is the biggest baddest engine in the world when the wheels of the car do not reach the ground?
5:03 For the GoPro replacement: I've had an original DJI Osmo Action since its release, and it's been through a lot of rough use, but it still works perfectly and never overheats or crashes like some GoPros I've owned. I even accidentally took it into the ocean without the battery fully clipped in, and it got completely waterlogged. After a few hours in the sun, it still works great to this day. I swear this isn't sponsored or anything, but if you're looking for a GoPro alternative that's not a knockoff, check out a DJI Action 1-4 (but not the Action 2).
Well, the thing is, we all knew this. I've been using Apple products every day since 2007 (Literally had that same Mac). I know too well that Apple is trash. It's just that some people prefer different companies' trash. I tend to prefer the trash that they offer more than the trash that other electronics manufacturers offer. There's a particular snappiness to the everyday use that I've never gotten consistently from other comparatively priced devices. To sum it up, it's such a weird relationship. She's beautiful and the secks is great but she's dumb as a brick.
I think my reply got deleted. I don't even remember what I might have said that would get it yeeted. In summary, I said that I've used Apple products basically every day since 2007 in one way or another. Anyone with an intimate understanding of Apple knows about how trash they are, but the ones that use Apple on the daily simply tolerate the trash Apple puts out more than they can tolerate the trash other electronics manufacturers put out. I think everyone has a love-hate relationship with their preferred product's maker.
I got the new iPad Pro because I’m an artist and the iPad is my go-to device for art and I thought I’d get a lot of mileage out of the OLED screen and the new Apple Pencil features, especially since Procreate announced their new overhaul for the new Pencil at the same event. Imagine my disappointment when I found out the Procreate update isn’t even a day one thing. It’s been out nearly a month and the update STILL hasn’t dropped. Procreate is like 70% of the reason to own an iPad imo, let alone the Pro, so I’m basically left in the dark until I get the tool that was the main reason to upgrade (obviously no hate to the Procreate devs)
I think apple would never introduce something like Samsung did with DEX, because the success of it would decrease sells of entry level MacBooks and mac minis dramatically, they know what they are doing, and they doing it well, the only problem is that it`s not what consumers would want.
I find it so crazy that a tablet, a device with a big screen, hasn't had a *calculator* until recently. A calculator. It's like you've been making cars that's been using the old school roll-down windows and have an event with one of the big announcements being you're adding power windows to your new cars. That's how it feels when Apple said iPads are finally getting a built-in calculator.
Yeah. And even though the new one looks kinda sick with the handwriting stuff, there was no reason for them to not put a basic one on there for this long. It's almost like they're stuck in their own pattern of whatever they do must be "special" and "a brave step forward" or some marketing-soaked crap.
MKBHD asked Tim Apple in an interview in 2020 why iPad doesn't have a calculator and he said he wanted to do something special with it instead of just porting the iPhone calculator. I guess that is kinda what happened yesterday with Math Notes, but even still it just feels like a strange choice.
The funny part: The iPhone also gets Math Notes. They just ported the app to both and put more buttons on screen at once with the extra real estate on the iPad.
@@MrDivinePotato innovating by copying something off of competition 10 years after the novelty feature has already died off. Apple fanboys then eat it up.

This is why I hate the "PRO" naming. Pros don't use Bluetooth headphones for editing, they use wired headphones. Pros need their machines to talk to any USB device they plug in. Pros need to be able to use the best stuff, whether it's from Apple or someone else. Pros want a machine where their money is going directly to power and usability, not the Apple tax.
Yeah instead they said “LOOK HOW THIN IT IS” not “look how much performance and usability this has compared to the regular iPads”
Pro artists just need it to run drawing software. It does that. It literally just depends on what you need it for
pros don't use fricken AI to replace actual artists and actual talent.
@@Dr1ftliveI mean, sure. I'm a professional and I need none of that from my iPad. Which is why I'm still rocking a 5th Gen one.
The point is that if you need the sort of performance found in the new iPad pros, aside from a very few niche cases, you're handicapped by the OS.
We should just use Plus instead of Pro.
Apple spends over $25 billion USD annually on Research and Development. If a product can't do something or is lacking a feature, it's because Apple simply didn't want it to.
Apple works in interesting ways, not always the best but interesting
They spend another billion on a think tank that comes up with ways to rip off things other companies have been doing for years, only to call it something stupid. Case in point: Apple Intelligence. 30 minutes of blabbing about it, never mentioned "artificial intelligence" once
This exactly, i feel like a lot of people view it as an excuse but i see it simply as apple knowing what will set up their products for future developmennts / make them more money, its not always clear as companies such as apple work years and years ahead but it will most of the time work out
Apple's entire philosophy has always been that they believe they understand what the end user wants more than the end user does. If there's something you want your Apple device to do that it can't, you're wrong for thinking that would be a useful feature. They've always been this way.
Anyone remember when iPhones didn't even have Copy & Paste or GPS...for multiple generations?
Fun fact: Most newer Samsung phones support something called DEX, plug that bad boy into a keyboard, mouse, and usb-c display supported monitor and you've got yourself a semi-functional desktop that can run a lot of that good shit. Samsung makes amazing tablets that support this mode natively. But personally, I've always loved the Surface computers from Microsoft. They run full Windows 11 without any OS drawbacks. Their only downside is their power but get a newer one from 2022< with more than 8gb of ram and it easily replaces laptops.
I had to scroll way too far down to find this comment! I am a Pixel fanboy through and through, but I'm super jelly of DEX!
Running a windows 11 is a drawback though.

Yeah if you buy a IPad Pro you’d might as well just get a Mac and buy the base IPad for IPad things…
It’s cuz Apple doesn’t want to step on their own toes if the iPad is cheaper than a MacBook even though they could potentially do the same things, unless they made a iPad MacBook hybrid at double the cost considering the lost revenue source if they merge them together
having essentially an incredibly powerful pc in such a small form factor and then locking it to some dogshit operating system is the worst marketing decision i have ever witnessed.
Yeah, but it costs lots and people are buying it for the 'power'. Hmm, it's good for 1 or 3 tasks, but costs the same or more than a laptop that can do ALL the tasks. Technically, its Apple best marketing. Coz, you know, the Market is willing to by $3500 iPad 'Pros'

Ordinarily I'd agree but you genuinely can't buy a better screen on a tablet the way you can with a PC, and Apple's upcharge on the better screen is smaller than a new PC screen of the same quality. Of course, the base model is priced to compensate, so you're getting fleeced either way.

Your instrument analogy is PERFECT - I started learning to use ProCreate recently when I bought a used iPad Pro bundle (with a keyboard AND pencil) for 1/2 the price of a brand new one, just like I bought a used bass guitar years ago when I first started learning to play. The marketing of every new iPad Pro is desperately out of sync with what the device is and who it's used by

Open up things macOS can't do because the touch UI can do more. Let it be a phone. Let it be a Mac, let it be everything.

From my mother's experience as a filmmaker with her recent iPad Air, and her subsequent switch to the iPad Pro, she said there's no point in upgrading. It just gets hotter, has only marginally better performance and is fragile. Just buy the Air if you really want an iPad. The smaller screen means the OS is different, and its much easier to use.

Some people say dumb things like "Mac OS would be horrible to use on a touchscreen" as if Apple couldn't just tweak the interface to make it work exactly the same while keeping app compatibility. like ok, instead of a desktop it defaults to the app list, and you remove those little red, yellow, and green buttons and replace it with the gesture bar at the bottom of the screen. Then you give the users an option to switch to desktop mode when they have a keyboard and mouse. You know, have a touchscreen mode like all the other desktop operating systems. Heck even my Samsung phone has a desktop mode.
macOS Big Sur suspiciously had a more “touch friendly” interface, only to be reverted back in later versions of macOS.
Well, good start, but there are two realizations you need to come to next:
1) There's no possible way they haven't been trying this since the iPad released. Since _the Newton_ released.

Microsoft tried this. If you put bigger chrome around a desktop window, it's just a window with touch-friendly minimize/maximize buttons and content you can't interact with. Fingers are blunt instruments. EVERYthing about the UI would need to be simplified and scaled up. This means less of your screen real estate can be used for fine controls. Unless you want your work area to be entirely toolbars, you need to simplify all the controls you make readily available, and bring in the rest via gestures and sub-menus. Basically, dumb down the interface so you can still have some room to see content.
Congratulations. You've just re-invented a touch OS. But now, if that touch OS and your desktop OS share the same app ecosystem, then every app needs to decide whether it wants to expose all its functionality, or allow you to manipulate it with big grubby paws. Some will choose one way. Others will choose a different way. The apps fragment. Some apps will stick to one or the other, some will try to do both -- probably poorly. Everything ends up being worse, because nothing is optimized for the platform's primary use-case -- since there IS no primary use-case anymore.
If you just demo a few apps that work well in this space, it'll seem like the perfect software. Which is why we *all* happily use Windows 8 to this very day!
I legitimately don't think that they need to make *any* tweaks to make MacOS touch friendly beyond the drivers to use the touchscreen. Like, I can't think of a single ui element that is actually smaller than ones that people already interact with on their phones regularly.
Problem is mixed input UI’s are shit. For some reason people who hate Apple tend to be turbo normies who think Windows is cool and good, but Windows UI is shit, ugly, and schizophrenic. Linux is still good because, unless you go out of your way for a touch optimised UI, it’s still made for desktop. Same thing with Mac, although it also has an inferior UI to most Linux distros.
Apple could make THEIR apps touch friendly but using third party apps could still be difficult
iPad Pro is having a Ford Raptor engine in a Ford Model T. It may be the fastest Model T ever made, but it's still a Model T.

AGREE. i'm a digital artist as a "side hustle" sort of thing, and the ipad is very useful for very specific kinds of work... until you want to start animating. or have an actually functional file manager. or god forbid you want to do photo or video editing like what's covered here. being restricted to the neutered glitchy "app versions" of programs is infuriating and companies' refusal to fix it makes it even worse.
the ipad as a walled garden held at gunpoint by the garbage pile app store is the #1 thing holding it back from actually being useful. some of the functions of the newest ipad pro and matching pencil are genuinely promising and desirable for me as an artist, but i would never in my life pay $2000 plus however much else the pencil costs for... rotation sensitivity. especially when the actual "super powered" tech only gives me access the mobile ports of video games that always get updated dead last if something new rolls around (cough cough stardew). just get an old ipad if you want a youtube and safari machine lol
seriously the only actual app thats genuinely useful is procreate and notability. and thats it. thats all. i seriously only bought it to have an art tablet to draw in my bed when im too exhausted to go to my laptop and do a janky ass setup with a drawing tablet and a laptop. oh and fresco. fresco if you wanna make complicated vector artwork. pain. hell.

They just do not care. There is no excuse.
Exactly. Even Android has USB Camera support baked into the OS so even $100 shitty androids can use webcams.
It's just that Apple intentionally makes it difficult so that iPads don't cannibalise MacBook sales.
I feel you could use webcams on either Mac OS 9 or the earliest osx versions
I guess but if you’re getting an iPad for drawing, graphic design, video editing (even 3D sculpting if you get Nomad Sculpt). They’re absolutely great especially when paired with the pencil. Which is exactly why I got my iPad Air M2. To draw and maybe write but I need the keyboard thingy for that
Yeah there's definitely that real side to it. But the other side is also real, lots of people want a portable piece of "glass paper" they can use for other stuff besides pencil art stuff. Apple needs to put a rebel in charge of iPad and stop letting people who want to hamper it be higher up the decision tree. And no I'm not talking about making square-peg-in-round-hole by forcing macOS onto it. Should just be AppleOS which is identical in all non-UI components, but running a completely different window/user input manager interface.
Even GOOGLE DOCS is awful on the iPad. Literally opening it in Safari provides a better experience.

TBF, is that more a sign of a problem with the iPad, or Google's crap software? (Not trying to start a holy war here, and Google jet-packed us in to the 21st century with Chrome and all their amazing dynamic web apps. But then let it all languish, implemented awful UIs, and went on to chase other shiny objects.)
FWIW, I use Google Sheets on iOS / iPad OS. It's.... fine. Will always prefer using a keyboard and mouse in a spreadsheet, though. With the iPad keyboard attached, I don't remember having any major complaints.
I’m in a Google Workspace environment and the iPad version of everything is absolutely terrible. Though I completely get why Google doesn’t make it better: they’d cannibalize ChromeOS sales for sure.
This is exactly why I don't buy apple anymore. Their software is locked down and that's fine and dandy untill you want to do something that isn't something apple wants you to do (not giving them money). On android you'd just find an app to record the webcam and it would work. Probably easier to get the files off of there too.

I got the newest iPad pro this year. I haven't owned an iPad or other apple product basically ever (had a short stint with an iPhone almost a decade ago). I really love it... BECAUSE I'm an art teacher and artist. The pencil and responsiveness of the screen are unrivaled, and I've used top of the line Cintiqs and the Wacom Mobilestudio Pros, bamboo tablets, XPPens, Samsung tablets, Microsoft Surface Pro (which is actually pretty nice too). I can stream my screen to the classroom projector to save paper and to do various demos that would be much more difficult by hand. Procreate also has nice built-in time-lapse software that lets me make super simple "long-form" demonstrations. Outside of that, it's an extremely expensive Netflix and RUclips machine. The screen is beautiful, the speakers are quite nice considering they're packed into that tiny frame, and the battery is frankly unbelievable. But, as you said, unless you're an artist, its essentially a paperweight. The biggest disappointment is definitely the camera.
Fun fact: iPads (at least the 10th gen) do support some webcams over its USB-C port. The catch is that the only app to detect and use said webcam is FaceTime.
I cannot express my frustration with Apple and iPadOS about this. ONLY FACETIME SUPPORTS EXTERNAL CAMERAS. NOT EVEN THE BUILT-IN CAMERA APP SUPPORTS IT.
I used it in Safari when I was playing on Spelltable to play Magic online.
It's the only first party app that supports them. People have been building third party apps since iPasOS 17, like UVC Capture.

Samsung DeX is the perfect example of software vs hardware, say what you want about the chips and hardware on the ipads but being able to use your Samsung tablet like a laptop is incredible (and their phones as well)
Yeah it's great, except that Android sucks as a desktop OS. Mostly because no apps take advantage of it. So you can't really get work done on Samsung DeX. I would love to see Microsoft come back and really do this properly with a modern Windows Phone. They tried to do this before, and it did work, but it was locked to ARM apps. Now that they have proper Windows on ARM going with the new Surface line, they should try a phone again. A phone that can run ANY Windows app while hooked up to a monitor would be INSANE.

I got the new iPad Pro because I’m an artist and the iPad is my go-to device for art and I thought I’d get a lot of mileage out of the OLED screen and the new Apple Pencil features, especially since Procreate announced their new overhaul for the new Pencil at the same event.
Imagine my disappointment when I found out the Procreate update isn’t even a day one thing. It’s been out nearly a month and the update STILL hasn’t dropped. Procreate is like 70% of the reason to own an iPad imo, let alone the Pro, so I’m basically left in the dark until I get the tool that was the main reason to upgrade (obviously no hate to the Procreate devs)
I think apple would never introduce something like Samsung did with DEX, because the success of it would decrease sells of entry level MacBooks and mac minis dramatically, they know what they are doing, and they doing it well, the only problem is that it`s not what consumers would want.
I find it so crazy that a tablet, a device with a big screen, hasn't had a *calculator* until recently. A calculator. It's like you've been making cars that's been using the old school roll-down windows and have an event with one of the big announcements being you're adding power windows to your new cars. That's how it feels when Apple said iPads are finally getting a built-in calculator.
Yeah. And even though the new one looks kinda sick with the handwriting stuff, there was no reason for them to not put a basic one on there for this long. It's almost like they're stuck in their own pattern of whatever they do must be "special" and "a brave step forward" or some marketing-soaked crap.
MKBHD asked Tim Apple in an interview in 2020 why iPad doesn't have a calculator and he said he wanted to do something special with it instead of just porting the iPhone calculator. I guess that is kinda what happened yesterday with Math Notes, but even still it just feels like a strange choice.
More like adding rolldown wundows at all
The funny part: The iPhone also gets Math Notes. They just ported the app to both and put more buttons on screen at once with the extra real estate on the iPad.
