There’s no affiliate link for the M2 iPad Pro… Just the new M4s and iPad Airs. Any links anywhere?
What about your video on how Apple was adopting Mini-LED and how great Mini-LED is? That was completely nonsense, right?
Great comparison! The only thing missing for me is the speedometer test. Could you run it on both iPads and share the test results with us?
If you have any M series chip iPad, there's no reason to buy a newer one.
I bought the 11 inch iPad Pro 256gb in space black to replace my 2016 9.7 iPad Pro 128 gb and all I can say is WOW! The OLED panel is simply stunning! I strictly use my iPad for media consumption and I truly think this is the best media consumption device ever created. For the people saying that you should only get the pro if you do pro things, I think that is a lie. Comparing the oled to the lcd panel in the Air, there is no comparison. The oled blows it out of the water! Since my last iPad lasted me 8 years, I think this is going to last me 10 years easily with all the excess power I have available for my use case. What display do you wanna look at for the next 10 years? And also in the great debate between 11 and 13 I think it comes down to two things, do you create on it and do you use it on your lap or at a desk. If you are a creator or use it on a desk for productivity with a keyboard, go 13. If you are like me and use it for consumption and are are mostly holding the device, go 11. The size difference of 16:9 aspect ratio videos is so small between the two sizes, the extra heft is not worth it imo. Anyway I’m absolutely loving the best $1000 Netflix machine on the market! lol
Same here 😊
I agree. I come from an iPad Air 4 and… I went to the store to try out and the OLED just wins all the way. Especially if you already own a Pro iPhone and M1 MacBook… it’s really hard to go back to 60 Hz refresh rate. I personally think the 11” Pro M4 is stunning. But it sucks that I need a 13” for my job, music sheet replacement. Otherwise I would have gone with 11inch it’s just perfect. Also something to think about, I also ended up not using the iPad Air as much so if it will be more expensive but you will get more out of it, it’s worth every penny more.
This is very inspiring to hear. My I pad pro M1 is absolutely fine but I am tempted to trade it in. I use my I pad constantly due to being disabled. Thanks for the positive feedback. Cheers from London.
@@bartenml Cheers mate! I think you’re probably good with M1 for a while longer. A long while but if you really want the best screen possible you won’t be sad about the upgrade! You could probably get way more selling the M1 on eBay or Facebook than the trade in btw
True for the 11in but the OLED might be a downgrade for the 12.9in that used to be mini LED
Been following this channel for a few years now. Bought the 11" M2 iPad Pro, and it's arriving in a few days. I'm in the UK, but converting to USD I paid about $810, compared to $1270 for the M4 (£999). I'd love the M4, but it was out of my budget, so it was between the new M2 Air or the old M2 Pro
Just got my iPad 11 inch M4, its a beast of iPad, Handles pretty much you can throw at it. Screen quality is very good for movies/videos. I plan to keep for at least 3 yrs
These can last for 5 years. I have an M1 ipad pro which is 3 years now and no signs of performance issue just got thermal marks on the display as i play pubg that's it.
Is the M2 better at dissipating heat?! Any difference between the 11 and 13 M4 iPad Pro in terms of heat dissipation?
I am planning to buy a 13 inch iPad, but I have this dilemma.
I am not going into the pro any more because of the very high entry point with all accessories. So it either will be the M2 13 inch iPad Pro or the M2 13 inch iPad Air.
This is a comparison I want to see, with consideration of the availability of discounts and second hand for the pro one.
Thanks for the video, I wanted to find info on the iPad M4 5G modem compared to iPhone 15 also WiFi wise. Is there a noticeable improvement? Thanks again.
And the 2018 ipad pro can still do everything you would do on iPad OS.
Do you benefit from the extra RAM in the 1TB version?
I have the M1 iPad Pro. It’s still very fast. I want to upgrade for the oled screen but I’m going to wait for wwdc first.
What oled tech is used in iPhone 15 pros? Isn’t it better than these new iPad Pros?
There’s no affiliate link for the M2 iPad Pro… Just the new M4s and iPad Airs. Any links anywhere?
Great comparison ! Can you make a video on 12.9 inch m2 iPad Pro vs 13 inch iPad Pro ?
No. If you don’t have the newest iPad you’re not really pro anymore.
@@anthonyazanon6160 bro uses Apple logic
@@amoorxd5432 🤣
Can you comment on the issue of the new Magic Keyboard wobble/rocking when touching the iPad screen? Apparently an issue/flaw caused by the hinge not being flush with surface like it is on the old one and the weight imbalance causes the rocking.
ok so its the M4 but what can you suggest? Go for 11 or 12.9
I’ve a 10.5 inch pro and it’s served me great.
I was thinking of the latest M4 but I can get refurbed m1 and x4 times the storage of my current 10.5 inch pro and save just under €300 vs buying the new M4.
Which seems like the better option as I mainly use my iPad for Procreate and some mobile gaming apps but unsure what to go for and obviously saving money would be somewhat important too.
Played with the M4 iPad 4 yesterday and wow, the screen is just amazing, I know IPadOS will always be bad, but that piece of tech is amazing, definitely getting one later in the year.
For the first time it felt like this video is biased towards the m4. Even the m1 ipad and screen is capable to edit and color grade videos and it’s great and in this video m2 ipads screen looked like from 1980s perhaps night mode or something is turned on, on the m2 since m4 screen looked brighter and more white and m2 looked like it’s all pale and brownish. To get the m4 ipad you need to get apple pencil and keyboard back again and this is unacceptable imo just to get the m4 why should i get everything back again while i already have the pencil and keyboard. That’s typical, the greedy apple ditching their own gadgets in couple of years and it’s not normal. So it’s not only $200 difference at the end.
Facts
The reason the screens looked so different is just camera technology; in person it may have been a little less stark because the human eye has impressive dynamic range but to film them side by side the m4 is so enormously brighter it can either be shown blown out or they set the cameras to make the m4 visible but the m2 will of course look underexposed. From a technical perspective though the cameras are showing you the truth.
Fr the M2 with LCD still has P3 & they were talking like it had a 60% sRGB TN panel 💀
@@AzVfLOLED has vastly better contrast. That changes color perception as well as the maximum difference in luminosity. Try opening a photo in Lightroom or your photo editor of choice. First increase contrast significantly and watch the color. Then reset it and increase saturation instead. Similar effect on color. (Not the same effect, but similar to what is probably happening here)
Indeed, pro camera lenses aren’t just more sharp than budget ones, they have improved contrast - which means better color rendition and perceived quality , even though the sensor behind two different lenses is the same with the same color space!
@@MRing1107yeah in other videos it doesn’t look that underexposed. I have an M2 and i love it and the videos don’t look like that lol
Seriously considering the upgrade. Been on the 2018 Gen 2 for 6 years now....the thing is, for what I use it for, it's still sufficient.
Yesterday I went to the Apple Store to purchase an 11” iPad Pro, but the 13” iPad Pro on display had the most beautiful display. I purchased the 13” iPad and was disappointed the moment I saw my display. I changed the display settings, but was still disappointed. The biggest disappointment was when I couldn’t get the iPad to connect to my wifi. I was on the phone with Apple Support for 45 minutes before he told me to take the iPad to the Genius Bar. I am returning this iPad and exchanging it for the 11” iPad.
hey Max, what is the iPhone screen protector you using in this video? Cheers thanks
What is that smaller black dot at the top right corner in the camera housing for? I already know there are two (the LiDAR and microphone). So what’s the 3rd one for?
Ambient light sensor, used for adjusting brightness in case the light source is behind you. With the sun in your eyes, it’s difficult to see the screen and you’d have to manually adjust the brightness
Well I have a 13 pro m4 and I love it however for on the go type stuff or for e-reading the 13 is still a bit much, was thinking of getting an 11 m2 pro?
M4 IPad Pro mic seemed clearer, were they improved? Scans I’m not sure looked better in that example you had for the OCR-esque tech.
Interesting. I actually tested the Magic Keyboard charging as well with my Anker battery bank that tells you how much wattage it's charging at. I was only getting 30w charging through the USB-C charging port as well.
thank you so much for naming the chapters 😭
On the M4 Pro 13 inch I believe you can feel the reinforcing down the centre of the device under the glass.
Wait is this one with or without nano glass whats the difference?
Hey Max. Would you be able to explain why your Geekbench test shows only 7.23 GB of memory for the 8 GB models? I ran Geekbench on my 13 inch M4 iPad 16,5 with 1TB storage and it shows that I only have 15 GB of the advertised 16 GB. What gives? Thanks
Can you do the comparison between the 12.9 inch iPad Pro last generation and the 13 inch iPad Pro comparing the mini LED to OLED display?
Where can you get the iPad Pro m2?
what I dont get with the new line setup of apple. how comes that the the new iPad only has one camera, what happens to spatial video for vision (pro). so you are meant to record that on the iPhone. very interesting
I was expecting to replace my iPad Air 3 with a iPad Air 13… but I just got an iPad Pro 12.9 M2 for 699 new at costco.
Thats crazy cause here in Germany the 11 inch literally is still 900-1000€ on the worst version. And the new one starts at 1200+
Those speakers did not sound identical
No they didn't , the M4 speakers lack the depth , sounding a lot thinner .
Wouldn't take a blind bit of notice of this shill .
This channel is just inane click bait. Blocked
@@user-rt7jz8vt2dThe m4 literally has some more punch and bass while being thinner, so the new iPad is still an audio upgrade!
@@AxemanMessiah Suppose it's all subjective, but you are wrong .
Which is a better buy the 11” or the 13”
If more area is hot in M4 and one degree higher how can you say about any effort to improve overheating?
I appreciate the screen comparison but I kind of wish he had compared the 12.9 inch M2 with mini LED to the OLED as well. Everybody can easily assume OLED is vastly superior to the old 11 inch LCD, but I suspect what a lot of people are wondering is, how much better is OLED than the mini LED? My experience was that the mini LED iPad was an appreciable improvement over LCD and I am curious if it's that same degree of improvement with the OLED or if someone would say mini LED comes pretty close and it's not a reason to upgrade?
Wow the mics sound SO much better on the M4.
for music playback, M2 11 inch sounds a little brighter in the high frequencies than the (slightly muddier) highs of the M4.....definitely noticeable through your microphones and heard using headphones
Sounds more open - more space inside. M4 more crammed
@@whitecrowuk575 yes
First thing I noticed with my new iPad is that the speakers suck. I had to turn the volume nearly to full to equal what the M2 did at 50% volume
Yeah so I was shocked when he said it sounded identical.
I did trade my M2 one in. I wanted this new screen. The new magic keyboard is definitely better to type on.
One thing I definitely noticed was that when using it other then on a flat surface, it wants to fall backwards more then my M2 setup.
I would add weight to the front, but I can’t lol.
very curious about the M2 iPad Air and M4 iPad Pro's real world battery life... If you can, could you please do battery comparison between previous models for both new ipads?
I have a question, ipad pro m4 11inch or ipad pro m2 12,9inch the price is the same in my country. So guys what do you think, which one to pick?
M2 12.9
Hi man, can you make a comparison between 2018 and 2024 11” iPad Pro model? Really appreciate your comparisons. Thanks
I gots a 2015 iPad Pro on original battery. I wonder if I'll notice any difference upgrading to the M4 iPad Pro. Eh, I'll just wait until M5 and see what it brings.
Muchas gracias por el video, tengo un ipad pro de 12.9 del 2018 y estoy decidiendo entre la versión de 12,9 o 11 pulgadas del 4M 👍
No bro… It’s not $200 difference. It’s $20 difference. What people fail to understand is that the M4 base model now has 256GB and to get 256GB on the previous iPad You had to pay about the same price as this M4 which is about a $20 difference, okay? So for $20 more you’re getting a heck of a lot for your money compared to the M2 version…
Not really. The storage upgrade from 128gb to 256gb cost is not worth $200 for most people. Most would buy the base, especially when there’s only one nand on the 2024 base iPad Pro.
Ye, bro... The buy in to the product line is 200 more. What people fail to understand is that there is now no 128 GB base so that to buy an iPad pro, you now need to buy an upgrade you might not have wanted.
@@hammettd89it definitely worth it if you do more than streaming or web browsing. But if that’s the case then you could do fine with the iPad Air
@@hammettd89 I understand your point from the perspective of a consumer and what entry level Pro models would be available to them.
However, when comparing the price of a 256GB M2 iPad Pro against a 256GB M4, the difference is about $20…
I’d rather have 2024 iPad Pro with 128gb for $800
please test 512 gb m4 ipad pro ssd ,is it slow like 256 or faster
It would be nice to see real word mixed use battery life for all the four new iPads as well as charging speeds, both peak wattage and actual time from 0-100% and all in between. And if possible make comparisons between the new and old models. Best regards and keep up the good work.
will you do a comparison between the m2 12.9 and m4? thats the one im really waiting to see
Same here
I bought m2 iPad Pro in last August and I’m so happy I upgraded from 2017 10.5 iPad Pro. I can’ even think of a reason to upgrade other than a screen but it will cost much more to upgrade. If they add MacOS to IPad this WWDC I really hope they won’t limit it to M4 only and allow all M devices or at least M2 pro
your great comparison of the 9 and 10 core, 8/16GB ram options was very interesting. I am sure I will be perfectly satisfied with the 9core/8GB model, but that single NAND is a no go on the 256. Do we know yet if the 512GB has dual NANDs?
Can you compare it to the M1 11”?
Did you re-run the 13inch M4 256/1tb model benchmarks by any chance?
I still find it hard to believe that more ram doesn’t help, perhaps the 1 pcore is negligible but i find it hard to believe ram doesn’t.
I use a 4.4ghz all core OC on my 3950x / 4090 gaming rig so im not fully ignorant to computer specs
Having less performance cores do affect the performance more than ram tho.
When viewing the X-rays I find it really interesting that they gone back to round speakers like in the 2020 version
I went from the 2018 11in to the new 13in and I’m glad I waited to upgrade.
That's a massive upgrade right there, it's good to see people upgrading from much older iPads rather than the M2 one
compare please 12.9 inch and 13 one
We need comparison between new tandem Oled and old mini led!
I don't see the link for the M2 ipad pro for $674 that you showed.
I’m watching this on my 2018 11inch ipad pro and so tempting to upgrade when i hear tandem oled, so you got a point
I too have my iPad Pro 2018. Still a great ipad
You didn't mention the battery comparison, but I could at the end of the test that the m2 had around 20% and the m4 had around 60%, the improvement on battery is kinda crazy 👀
Still gonna hold onto my 2018 12.9 Pro until they do something significant with iPadOS that requires the M4 chips… but in terms of hardware I’m already finding it so hard to resist buying these beauties. Also sucks that we have to reinvest in a new pencil and keyboard combo too.
Maybe two more generations. Can’t wait to see how far the iPad can go!
Thanks for the great reviews too, kept seeing your videos as suggested but the recent detailed breakdowns and real world comparisons have convinced me to subscribe. Good stuff!
I’m staying put with my 11” M2 iPad Pro, and instead upgrade my M1 MacBook Pro to the upcoming M4 MacBook Pro later this year. I think it makes more sense and better use of the M4 chip.
Thank You!
Nice video , but ihave 12.9 m1 mini led so scren is almost the same , extra power im iPad oś ? For what?
future
With headphones on, those speakers did not sound identical, the M4 sounded a bit lacking compared to the M2
Can we compare the 2024 iPad Pro to the 2018 iPad Pro?
I notice when I write on my iPad the screen goes down. I saw this in the video and annoys me. I would like for Apple to make it right like writing on paper on a hard table
It’s nice of you to include the 11 inch size. I think that the display may prove to be a lot better on the newest one. I think the bigger question maybe which one is more worth it between the bigger size iPad
does these new oled worth upgrade from mini led in 12 pro??
You won’t notice any difference if you’re asking me.
I want a review of the 11 inch iPad Air with 256. And comparison regarding performance with the old m2 pro just to see how it works
Thank you for doing the 11in. I have the M2 11in iPad pro, have been wanting to see a comparison. Given I bought mine in January, don’t think i’ll be upgrading. Hoping the rest of the video doesn’t give me FOMO.
I upgraded from
The M1 12.9 inch to the M4 13 inch. Honestly I feel a little disappointed. The colors are slightly warmer. Yes it’s snappier being slightly faster, but I was editing in Lightroom and dang the M4 was extremely hot after 15 minutes and the battery dropped 12%
I have a 2018 11” pro and I really want this.
buy me 1
Yeah same but imma wait for iPad iOS wwdc to see if it’s worth it or no and imma go for 13 inch just hope battery is good
I guess if you have the money then why not. 2018 to now seems like you’ve used your tech for a long enough cycle. Enjoy.
For me - money is an issue and I have an M1 so maybe a year or two from now.
M1 vs M4 comparison coming soon 👀?
M1 user like me 😂😂
I traded in my 11” iPad Pro M1 and Apple gave me $385 for it. I think I made a good decision
@@kuau714 what about reselling it directly to an end user on OfferUp ? Possibly $450 or less .. lastly what condition is yours ? Physical damage , cellular?
@@kuau714oh l have m1 from the release l can trade to?
@@kuau714how long could that going there or online ?
You know what you should compare. Watching HDR content (movies purchased from the tv app).
When I watch HDR content without battery saver mode, everything looks super dark and dim. I ended up discovering that to fix this issue (not actually a fix, but will just make the ipad go to SDR mode instead) close the apple tv app, put the ipad on power saver mode, and that will fix the dim screen making everything look better.
Do not know if this will be fixed with this iteration but HDR on the apple tv app is completely broken.
For refrence I have an M1 ipad with mini-led backlight.
PS: and is not just there. Netflix, disney plus all look dim when watching HDR content with power saver mode off (which should make the ipad use its full potential but it doesn’t)
Have thought about compare m2 iPad air and the m4 iPad Pro interesting to see how they perform against each other
Can we compare this to the iPad Mini with a skin on the back from DBrand - I am interested to see if sending an email is quicker now
Nice review! Although like I said and now was proved - the video encoders are the same. Everyone missed that Apple has been comparing their 4K encoders vs the new M4 8k encoders. But the 8k encoders were introduced with M3; Apple themselves called that out in M3 introduction.
It would be great if you can compare iPad m4 with the air m3
Still rocking a full-spec’d 1st gen 12.9 iPad Pro!
Omg, the difference in microphone quality is massive, on the M2 it felt like most of the audio was coming from the left side, the M4 was more balanced and sounded much crispier.
The oled monitor has a slightly splash on screen when the background is white (start 9:45 you can see a slow moving black strip), it makes me more tired when I take notes or reading ebooks…
Display is stunning bro
2018 iPad pro 12.9 here.
As an art tablet, can still support an art career. Ram would be nice, twist on the pencil is a maybe. Waccom has had it for a long time. Otherwise, still fine with mine. Oled is a want not need
Hi, i think a much more relevant test would be the new ipad air 13 vs the old 12,9 pro m2. I am very confused if the better screen of the air, is negated by the 60 hz refresh rate ?? Also it seems the input is slower so for video editing on external drive, will the old pro beat the new air ??? That is a much more relevant test. Used old pro vs new air, please make that one :0)
Great video! I’ve been waiting for this since the day they were announced. Thank you!
I’m happy with my 2tb M2 iPad Pro , I will wait for the bigger screen iPad .
Anyone recommend a good screen protector for ipad pro 13 in m4?
ESR 2-pk
Curious to see in a copuple of years, maybe 3 I don’t know, if burnin would be an issue. My oled tv is still ok, but tablets tend to have more static images I think, than a tv
IMO, was worried about the speakers on the 12.9 vs 13 inch sound worse on the 13, it’s a noticeable downgrade if you’re used to the M1/M2 iPad. This is my only and biggest complaint about my new iPad
Totally agree with this. Coming from my M1 12.9”, the speakers are noticeably worse on the 13” M4. I noticed immediately. My only gripe with the 13” M4.
Had a similar experience, glad I’m not alone or insane
Same here. Speakers suck. First thing I noticed when I got mine.
THIS and this is a big deal for me. I have a bit of hearing issues and need something that sounds fuller. I have a Macbook Pro for that reason but, want something to travel with and was planning on getting the larger IPAD. I'll look for an older version now if I can find one. NOT going to pay a premium for those awful speakers.
@@BlueHawk80 same thing
I didn’t want to spend all that money for the new keyboard and pencil so I ordered a refurbished M2 model instead (upgraded from 2018 iPad Pro)
11’.
Thank you ❤
I'm looking forward to the Mac mini M4 Pro. The comparison of the iPad M4 with the M2 make me think the Mac mini M4 Pro will be awesome
I'm still using the 1st gen 12.9 ipad pro, this is probably the year I'll upgrade.
sir, please compare the 13-inch iPad Air M2 with the iPad Pro M2. Lots of love from India.💗💗
M4 iPad Pro = The best gaming iPad in the world!
Really?? 😂
@@user_es1yes 100%
And iPad m2 is second and m1 is third
Best Netflix tablet in the world!
@@user_es1 Yea. I should have said that the new M4 iPad is the best gaming tablet in the world. lol.
@@whitecrowuk575 Yep! You're absolutely right!
Very helpful. Thank you.
I have a 1st gen 11” iPad Pro, I would be interested in seeing how it does compared to the current M4 model but can’t find anything out there on that.
What about battery?
