Your rebound case link is sending people to the 11” iPad Air. No 13” pro selectable
Waiting on the comparison vid between the m2 and m4 iPad Pro
There isn’t an M4 air 😂 it’s an m2 iPad Air which is the upgrade from m1
@@EliteNerds I meant to say pro lmao
@@lefthanded5473 just making sure you knew a lot of people recently though the new air was M4 😂
M4 should run like the M2 with half as much power
One downgrade except for the wide lens camera, the speaker has less bass on the m4 than the m2 13 inch. Could be because the body is thinner so less body volume.
Great works boys. Been waiting for this
Thank you. Feels like the extra core is barely used!
i think Apple's "E" cores are a lot more powerful than an Intel E core, the extra 2 E cores added a lot to the score and the loss of a P core didn't hurt much
It is called optimisation. You do not have to thrash the cores for every intensive task, as you have diminishing returns. We see this clearly with Windows and Qualcomm's X-Elite, where running at 80 watts is not 1:1 with added performance per watt.
For me,
iPad doesn't need to be a Mac,
but I don't want it to just be a larger iPhone.
I want it to be a bigger iPhone. I have a old iPhone. It’s good at being a phone. It’s good at watching videos. My iPad is good for things at home.
Thank you for doing this comparison, now I can go for 256 base configuration with ease of mind without felling left out 😘
Finally! Been waiting on this 🎉
Thanks guys. Was hoping to see a review like this
Got mine yesterday 😍😍 chose a 13inch M4 pro with 9 core version in black. OMG it looks so good and I am totally happy with the performance
me too 512gb
Great review! I like your tests that other reviews have not covered to show us the 9c vs 10c ipad differences.
Really appreciate video I was planning to buy the more expensive one with more ram but after seeing this video it’s not worth it just going with the regular one really help on deciding 👍🏼
The M4 is like having 1000 horsepower with iOS being a 5 galling gas tank.
Ok that literally made me laugh out loud. 100% correct
This is the perfect comment.
Very witty and accurate
At this point we just need a macOS iPad, “touch screen mac”
Well it’s about longevity, this things gonna still beat the latest Samsung tablets even 5-6 years from now that too with the latest software! This thing can last YEARS meanwhile Samsung tabs with their mediocre performance might start to dwindle within 3-4 years
great video just what i was looking for - I'm also curious about the relative battery life... suspect the 9-core will perform better with lower power consumption?
In Canada, the jump from 256GB to 1TB is $900 😢. Thanks for this!
Thanks for the video. I was hoping you would do one on this topic.
I was waiting for this review, i ordered mine on launch day and ordered the 256gb because i still use my 2018 iPad Pro 12,9 64gb, 64gb is nog enough but 256gb is more than enough for me but i only saw the next day that there are 2 different M4 chips. I looked at many reviews but nobody tested the difference they only showed what the most expensive iPad Pro could do. Thank you i now know i ordered the right one.
I was wondering where is 512gb version in terms of ssd speed. Checked it on my iPad and got higher read and write speeds than on 1TB version:
sequential
read: 3180
write: 2942
random
read: 12983
write: 9972
Man this is the video i have been looking for since the new ipad came out
This was what I have been anticipating!! A comparison between the binned M4 and the full M4 !! Thanks Max Tech ❤
Thank you for this comparison. 👍
Thanks, very timely.
Nicely done! Thank you for doing this video.
Thanks for this video. Puts my mind at ease.
Same here. Happy with my baseline model. I’m upset at Apple for withholding an extra performance core to the terabytes tiers but I guess it’s not a big deal.
Thanks for the video it helps
Thank you! This is the exact comparison I was looking for. Bought the 512gb version.
How do you say there’s no big difference?!! SSD speed is 2X faster, also the extra 8gb of ram will easily be felt in long-term with a number of open tabs and apps when you don’t need to keep reloading them!! Apps and web pages are getting heavier and iPad is a device could be used easily for +5 yrs.
I’d bet the people buying the flagship version upgrade at shorter intervals than those who buy the lower tier iPads.
Upgrading is a different story, I’m talking about how your experience could be affected. In my case I worked with M2- 256gb and returned it, now that I’m using m4 -1tb, the difference is huge in ram related tasks at least for my use cases.
I‘ve got the 1Tb 16Gb M2 iPadPro (4th Generation) .. and not one app I use makes use of the extra 8Gb RAM.
Only got it as a second screen didn’t have to be just mirrored.
ive been waiting for this video for such a long time, I am so excited
Awesome video, I appreciate it.
Okay, well didn't expect that!
Thank you for saving some people some money!
Useful information!
In past years Apple has said the RAM was doubled for the high storage capacity models to help manage the storage not for app performance.
Great video, thanks
Okay but those geekbench specs are incredible, just as fast as an Intel i9 processor!
faster than my m1max studio lol
Faster😊
Its faster than my last years i9, thats crazy, I never wanted to buy an ipad before but now thinking about it
@@stevenjamesofficial that’s nuts!
@@mishathassan6988 I think I’ll wait for the M4 MacBook Air.
Great video! Will probably save a lot of people some money!
Nice video! That iPad Pro looks🔥
Thanks!
Great comparison, Max! Hopefully iPad OS 18 will allow these iPads to tap into more of the power of the M4 chip. Of course by the time WWDC comes, people will be past the return window. That is why I’m keeping my 1TB model, more RAM, faster read and write speeds and the possibility of more performance is worth it to me.
Thanks for the test. I'm getting the baseline 13inch.
I'd really like to see all the most recent games (like Resident Evil? Death Stranding? the AAA games on the iPad benchmarked if possible)
The base 9 core M4 is only 8.5% faster in multicore, than the base 8 core M3. So after the 10 core hype the M4 is just another incremental upgrade !
Thank you! You save my money!
Did you use the 11 or 13 inch versions in this video? Please also do a comparison of GPU performance between the 11 and 13 inch versions
Amazing vid! Thank you🍻
I bought the exact same ERS detachable magnetic case along with my new iPad Pro M4 and Apple Pencil pro. and it’s amazing. Extremely sturdy and stable.
Great review Max Tech. Try pushing the IPad, multi tasking with the extra screen. Live streaming, trading reading charts, gaming etc. That way we can see if the Ram makes a difference.
Thanks video ❤️
Hi, I really appreciate this because I have reversed my buying decision - I was about to max out the ipad and get a low-spec mac mini. But the reverse seems more sensible. Do you think read and write speeds will improve if I spring for 512 GB of SSD space instead of just leaving it at 256 gigs?
Thank you for the quick test, I am happy that I pick the 256G 13inches
Can you do a power input test for the iPad Pro M4? I’d like to see how fast this iPad can charge and how big of a (n understatement) lie the power draw is - for example, the iPhone was advertised as 20w charging but the pro max can actually charge at 30 watts, and the iPad at 35 watts for the 11 inch and 41 watts for the 13 inch.
Nice testing video!
Wow.. thanks for all that testing. You literally destroyed the logic of getting a 1TB 10-core iPad Pro right there.
Great video
Amazing video. I’m shocked people aren’t making more of these in comparison on the 8gb versus the 16gb.
Thanks for this. With the lack of software that can actually max out this hardware, this video makes me more lean towards the Ipad Air line up. Since the 2024 Air M2 specs looks to be like a 2022 M2 Pro, I would like to ask if these can be compared in a video??
@MaxtechOfficial - Firstly love your videos. I have a suggestion to test the ipad pro. Can you try using it like a laptop with stage manager enabled and multitask as in, be on a zoom call and in the background export some images. That might show difference in RAM
You guys have become the best apple product reviewers out there! I was waiting for your review as always! 😆🙌
日本人です。この差は気になっていたので、とても助かります。ありがとうございます。日本は経済が良くなく、円安が発生しているので、iPadProM4 13inchを買おうとしたら1番安いモデルでも新人の給料1ヶ月分に相当するのでiPadProはとても高級品となっています😢
Could you please test Sidecar w/ a MBP? Is there any slow down or performance issues on either? Thanks!
Thanks! This is the video I’ve been waiting for. I have an M2 11” 256GB, but unfortunately I recently cracked the screen and didn’t have AppleCare. So far, it still works fine but I’m afraid of travelling with it and will pass it on in my family. I use my iPad for the regular stuff and use it for primarily for music creation and video editing. With the M2 I have not found that I’ve run up against any cpu issues, so I imagine that the M4 will be the same and better.
Great to see Pro App benchmarking for the iPads - please keep extending this. Maybe track loading FCP & Logic or Octane X too? Unsure if Photoshop has a scene/benchmark/macro which can be run. Looks like your Lr test needs more images (500?) Could the graphs include Macs for comparison?
FYI Solar Bay is matching performance of an M1 Max (maybe good to see it in a chart as the 3DMark site excludes Apple products)
it would be interersting to see the disk performance of the 512 model - that could be the sweet spot
Same, I am tempted to get the 512gb model and if the ssd is a bit faster than the 256 that would seem like a good option (plus I want a bit more space)
@@Kaiser333333better to go with 256 and get 2 tb ssd from Samsung with difference. Can find them for 130-150 sometimes.
Hi, thanks for the tests. Is it possible to have also a comparison for Logic Pro for iPad? And a comparison in Logic Pro between the pros and the iPad Air if possible. Thanks in advance.
I love ur videos man
I’ve been waiting for a video like this. I’m not much of a gamer, but I tested Resident Evil Village on the iPad Air M1 and on the basic iPad Pro M4. The M1 struggled to hit 30fps with med/low settings. The M4 was over 60fps with a mix of high/medium settings. If you were to max out the settings and resolution, it would use around 11gb of RAM. I didn’t expect the difference between the two iPads to be an issue and this video proves it. Thanks for putting in the work to stress test these.
Can you do a display comparison between the M4 ipad and previous iPad Pro with the mini LED? thx
Before I used to be careful before buying something that was sponsored but nowadays I just trust everything on this channel. My power brick, and now the cover. Thanks max and Wadeem
I tried the ESR case and it wasn’t very good. Heavy, wouldn’t hold iPad upright in the high vertical, and refrigerator magnet wouldn’t work as iPad kept sliding down.
Speakers comparison between M4 and previous iPad Pro, throwing in MBA13 and MBP14 would be nice!
Finally.😊, I was eagerly waiting for your video about the new ipad , i hope you make comparison ipad pro 2022 vs ipad pro 2024
PLEASE do a video comparing performance in some more pro apps like Final Cut, Logic, and Resolve
Did they both end with the same battery % or did one last better through all those tests?
Very informative. Thank you
Thank you! So let’s go for the 256gb model 🎉
I went and had a look at these in person today, they're so thin videos don't do them justice! Not going to buy one as I got the 10th gen on sale though
Thanks for your detailed sharing !!! I believe the main difference is the performance if you use stage manager and open a lots of hungry apps in multiple screen :D !!!
Will the software update allow iPadOS to utilise the extra core more efficiently?
The 16GB ram will be benefit when it run on device LLMs later on, Apple may try to fit in a small size LLM in next iPadOS update, the extra ram will help gives more leg room for other application running seamlessly. Hence that's why only 1TB + model will get 16GB or ram for holding LLM model locally.
I’m happy I got the 512GB model
Does the ESR bumper case work on both the folio and keyboard if I want to switch back and forth?
i'd be interested to know if theres a storage performance difference between the 256GB and the 512GB models
Would be great if you could test using sketchup for iPad. I have issues with adding large models crashing.
I really like the positive and intriguing vibes the video starts with 🤪 Thanks, MAX!
Informative video... Burt how about something that is in reach of most people.... A comparison between the Pro M2 and the new air M2 as there are deals on the Pro M2 at the moment
@MaxTechOfficial Please, could you verify if those 16 GB RAM M4 iPads will be improved in the future with a newer version of the iPadOS operating system as well as the apps? And will we see a bigger difference in overall performance? Thank you.
Any test results between the bin 256 and 1tb using Final Cut and Logic?
All this power won't mean a thing unless Apple removes the software limiting handcuffs!!
Don’t count on it young man. Apples power is still power, regardless if we can use it or not😎
Care to list all the things you can do on this device? I bet it would get pretty long...
@@leebeeskee For me honestly, it's just a content consumption device, so the air would be sufficient!! If your a creator, then by all means go for it!!
However…
This does give us an idea of how the M4 Macs will perform.
it means you can play games like Assains creed (the full PC versions) and many years updates
Thank you.
Nice review! Thank you for helping me make my mind about not getting the 1TB versions. BUT... You left us dry on whether the 512GB version has the improved SSD speeds as well. If it does I'm sold and I'm going with the 512GB version that's $300 cheaper.
Thanks Max for this comparison, it would be good to observe how the differences would be in the different benchmarks between two 11-inch iPads with 9 and 10 cores, or between one 11 and 13 inches, both with the same number of cores, and observe how much warmer compared to the 13-inch version.
Greetings
Thanks so much! This was really helpful. I use my iPad for 3D modeling & audio editing.
Now, I'm wondering if iPadOS18 is gonna include something that'll make the jump to the 1or 2 TB worthwhile.
Awesome! I’m holding off on the iPad M4 to see the iPadOS18 update to see if the iPad and apps will take advantage of the extra RAM. I want to have the iPad for animation and 3D modeling, perhaps a little bit of video editing as well.
Thanks. That’s the video I needed before I grabbed one for my artist daughter. 256+cloud is the way to go.
Is it possible to test using multiple masks in lightroom? When I edit i use between 20-40 masks per photo and on top do some retouching. This uses a lot of ram. Does the 16gb of ram help when using Lightroom on IpadOS?
Out Standing Review. It really makes me feel good about my purchase of the base model 13” Ipad pro. I am happy to see some benchmark tests. Overall very satisfied with the product. Money well spent and a $510 trade in on my 2021 M1 IPad Pro from the Apple Store. Just a note, the esr stylus in the link does not appear to work with the 2024 iPads according to the description.
I don’t see this as unexpected. Where it is pushed, there is a bit of difference, but for most tasks not really. Which for one extra core out of 10, is what you’d expect. Ultimately I got the 1TB version for storage and RAM - any extra performance is just a bonus.
I’m surprised there wasn’t a DaVinci comparison or export times for video editing
I'm sure there will be later
Take 5 seconds longer, is that worth it?
Does anyone know if you can connect the iPad to the Apple magnetic keyboard with the ESR shift case shell on the iPad? Love the ESR shift case but prefer to have the Apple keyboard and would hate to have to take the iPad out of the case to connect to the keyboard.
Thanks for making my decision a whole lot easier! Looks like the 11inch 512gb model it is then 🙌🏽
Will the extra 8gb make difference for the new on device LLMs to be announced in WWDC?
Finally!! The review we needed. I sadly destroyed my 2018 iPad so I need to get another pro.
7:38 I love that you guys use the same 50x 42 MP images for the Lightroom test across all of your videos.
Out of curiosity, I went back and watched your video comparing the M1 MacBook Air vs M3 MacBook Air to see the results of the Lightroom test. It’s INTERESTING to note that the M1 Air beats out these M4 iPad Pros, completing the test at 2 min 2 seconds export time as opposed to the iPads at 2 min 32 seconds.
NOTE: I know that I’m not comparing Apples with Apples (although we are haha) but still, I am a little shocked to see that the M1 (MB Air) can beat out the M4 (iPad Pro) regardless of form factor.
I M using 2018 iPad and it works flawlessly
