I'm not the kind of person who thinks an iPad can replace my regular computer. It's an accessory, like my phone. The entry-level iPad ruclips.net/user/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA is perfect for that and does everything I need it to. One of the things I like to use my ipad for is running aviation apps while flying. There is no need to buy the more expensive iPad for flying unless you want the built-in GPS. In that case the entry-level iPad with cellular module also includes the built-in GPS and you don't have to activate the cell plan in order to use the GPS. I have a $120 bluetooth GPS receiver already that works great with the iPad.I got the yellow one, and it's not really as yellow as it appears in the images online. It's more of a golden brass.
Great video, Jerry. I really do enjoy listening to your take on things. Thank you for not boring us with the usual benchmarks that other reviewers waste their (and our) time on. Instead your format took on an honest and laidback approach, kind of like a friend giving us their opinion. While Apple took the world by surprise from including their famed M1 chip in the iPad Pro, I agree with you in that it will all have been for nothing if iPadOS 15 does not bring anything substantial to the table at WWDC this year.
Great review… it’s refreshing to see a tech channel that has none of the usual tropes and click bait tricks, especially relating to apple products, just subscribed
Thank you! Everyone keeps talking about the 12.9 just because of the mini LED with some saying not to buy it but no one is talking about just buying it for its size. As if people didn't buy the 12.9 pro previously for its size. I'm an artist and I most likely won't be using the full extent of the mini-LED but I also just want it for its larger screen size. It still depends what people prefer to spend the extra money on, but that would be the same case if it didn't have mini-LED. So even if the mini-LED isn't of use to you and you want to buy it for its size go right ahead. And same goes if you don't want to buy it.
I have no idea what people are talking about as far as "bad blooming" all of my monitors have light bleed and in order to get my iPad to even make it noticeable on my end, i legit have to have it in dark mode & on a blank note page with white paint brush. & TBH it wasn't even something I LOOKED FOR until this debacle and i started noticing it on all my screens lol
@@rob465 Yeah but that's what I mean there is always going to be a downside and an upside to a product. At least as of right now with the current technology we have and the way the market is it will always be there no matter if they add something to it like mini LED. And people will always have to think about what they prefer in any item to spend their money on regardless. Ive just been seeing a whole bunch of videos going on about the mini LED on the 12.9 as if that is the only feature when it's just a NEW feature. The addition of the mini LED in the 12.9 also shouldn't be the only thing that determines whether it is worth buying or not, there are things like it's size, portability, etc. I just don't think that the mini LED is a deal breaker or a be all and end all. It's all about what the buyer prefers, what they prioritize over other things or what they are looking for or need.

This is the main issue or problem. The M1 chip is now easily MAC OS desktop class and therefore Apple will not let the iPad become s full fledged Mac OS system, they want people to buy their Mac OS desktops / MacBooks etc for that purpose only. While agree its a beautiful powerful device and I also own the 2020 12.9 pro model, the fact they will not unlock its true potential has now stopped me from continuing with apple iPhone & iPad upgrades. It’s like purchasing a top of the range Ferrari with the power of an average family car or similar - pointless overkill knowing one will never be able to use the features and power it can truly do. Too much of the jabba hut sized greedy apple machine for me I’m afraid 🙄
I had the original iPad Pro and loved it but this takes it to another level. It’s my go to device and I have a Win desktop and laptop for work. But the IPad Pro is just what I use for both work and my time. One Note is an awesome tool that allows you to take advantage of the pencil and it works between the windows version and the ipad version. Can’t say enough good things about my Pro.
Depending on what is shown on Apple’s Tuesday Event, I’m 80% sure I’m getting the 12.9in iPad Pro. I’ve been trying to talk myself out of it but it’s the one I really want to complement my 13in MacBook Pro. I work from home and go to school online so I’m not necessarily worried about portability. I’ve had two iPad Mini’s and an Air in the past and wasn’t entirely happy with them because of the lack of screen real estate. But worse case scenario, I can always return it within 14 days if I don’t like it.

Main reason im getting this new Pro; got a new digital, mirrorless camera and there are nice photo apps for it. Of course, the Pro will be used for a ton more stuff than photography.

Great review. Well balanced and informative. Which USB-C hub are you using with it currently? I tried to find the one you list in your accessories, the Andobil USB-C Hub, but it is no longer available from Amazon, and that makes me wonder if it is a good choice.
I feel you're being a tad bit partial.. but I will still subscribe I like the review for the most part, and more importantly IT DID help me decide to get the 11 pro. also I am digging the setup and color grading on the video. will be looking for more reviews. cheers
Does the new iPP FaceID unlock like my iPhone if I'm wearing a COVID mask (using the Apple Watch) like my iPhone 11Pro? The screen of the iPP IMHO is stunning. The issues you talked about are something I do not really see. I'm sure they are there, but when I'm engrossed in using the iPP the issues remain not a big deal to me. The speakers are great! Both the screen and speakers are a vast improvement over my 2018 iPP. No 5G in my area with my carrier, so that is a benefit I have yet to see. Thanks for the great video!
My current iPad is from 2018,,so this one seems to be huge upgrade though it’s from last year..the new iPad Pro 2022 is ridiculous overpriced and as from what I’ve heard not worth it,,vs this version..thanks for the review
Awesome video. Every year I upgraded my iPad Pro. I’m convinced the iPad Pro is a tablet for best choice. But, with the exception to the 2021 iPad Pro. Unfortunately, Apple dropped the bomb on the 2021 model. At this time I’m involved with a Apple care open case trying to resolved screen dimming. This is my second replacement for the iPad. The issues with the new 2021 iPad including the iPhone 13, screen brightness will dim in and out based on the outdoor temperatures environment. Yes, all settings adjusted, auto brightness turned off, and any another settings are turned off that may reflect or control the display from dimming. Also, OS always updated to the latest versions. An issue that only accord’s during the time the iPad is used outdoors, not indoors. Indoors, video editing or playing intense games on the iPad maintains its brightness, regardless how warm it will get. Outdoors, surfing the web, reading emails, or RUclips, within an hour the brightness will dim in and out. Sometimes, the brightness will dim too low making it bearable to see content on the screen. The dimming issues only happens between 11:00 AM to sun down (if the temperature is around 74 and up). Yeah, definitely a flaw in the 2021 model with the sensor that will determine the display brightness when set to auto or off. When auto brightness is turned off, the sensor will still kick in based on the outdoors temperature, ranging from 74 to 95 degrees. Whereby, within a short period of time using the iPad Pro 2021 outdoors, display will dim in and out making it useless to be used outdoors. This flaw seems to be more of a hardware issue vs the OS. Older iPad Pro version did not have a dimming problem when it is used outdoors. Same for the iPhone. No RUclips Content Creators are addressing this issue with new iPad Pro 2021. Reason, their reviews are presented indoors. I’m 100% sure the iPad Pro dimming isn’t a isolated issue. It’s been over three months for Apple care not resolving the dimming problem. And for now, I’m stuck with a $1,500 metal glass plate which is worthless for outdoor use. After the holidays, my answer is to go back to the iPad Pro 2020 model unless Apple has a fixed beforehand.
Thanks for this in-depth review and awesome presentation of each detail. Kindly guide me through two things: 1) Do the ipads tend to bend with time ? 2) Apart from mini led XDR display would 11" ipad effect my productivity, i.e., reading & note-taking ?
I am still using a 2nd gen iPad Pro (just ordered a 5th gen). No bending issues. Only issue i see commonly in old iPads is batteries acting up… ie not lasting as long or for those who always leave it plugged in, not lasting at all if they unplug it.
@@JerrySchulze thank you so much for the answer! I decided to go with the m1 because I’m updating from a ipad air from around 2014, that way I’m future proof and have the new display for drawing and watching netflix. That way I don’t think I will regret not getting the slightly lighter 2020 model 😊
The bigger device i heard has more ram along with different panel technology. File management improvements would be most welcome for the next iteration.
just curious ? I still have the first edition of the iPad Pro and I'm thinking to buy a new one of course the price matters but would you go for the 2020 edition or the 2021 ??
This iPad is great and I love it, it does everything I need to do my job. Its a bit overkill sure but the only thing I am still wishing for: Logic Pro X so i can do my hobbies on it as well as content consumption and professional work.
@@JerrySchulze Thanks for replying. I can change the quality in Safari but I can’t in Chrome. Also the notification feature (bell) isn’t available in Chrome either. Every thing works fine on my MacBook Pro. Help.
Apple don’t seem to have the money or the expertise to fully develop their iPad OS in order to provide you with things like proper file structure and external display support. Believe me, if they could overcome these massive obstacles, they would, because they love their customers and will do anything to make them completely happy and satisfied. So you just hang around for a few more model upgrades and as soon as they have the resources, they will be right onto it. If you have detected a note of cynicism in the above text, then you are right on the button. Apple could not care less about you (meaning Apple buyers in general) or indeed your incessant tablet demands. iPad Pro owners, of which I am one, seem to feel they are somehow a special breed in Apple’s vision and supreme plan, and are happy to keep updating their hardware year on year based on minor model changes. They loyally and patiently wait for features that I am convinced will never come - features that, if incorporated in the iPad Pro OS, would probably see massive reductions, if not the complete demise, of their laptop sales. Dream on, ye faithful.
I don't know if I'm a minority or what but I still wouldn't buy an iPad* even if they added some desktop-class features. Granted, I've never never owned an iPad but I do own a MacBook Pro. An iPad with some desktop-class features is still an iPad in my mind and a laptop is still a laptop. A laptop is still the device to pick if you need to crunch those numbers if you need to. I'm a developer and I do a lot of compiling, virtualization and containerization. I would never see myself doing that stuff on an iPad. * when I say "I would never buy an iPad" I mean as a computer replacement. Basically, an iPad will always be a secondary device for me.
Right on bro. Sometimes a large screen helps as programs progress. Sort of a work in progress with Apple. We are participating in history. Like it or otherwise. Some strange withholds I guess we have gotten used to or just accept. They seem to be polishing a rock these days, but you never know as their approaches can get accepted over time. Imagine - announcing a computer. Really. So 1980s. Yes finding ways to do what you want, need. That’s 70s.
Appreciate the response :) I guess mine is defective then. I noticed a lot of RUclipsrs having the silver colour for this version, must be to match with the magic keyboard I guess
I have purchase 12.9” M1 iPad Pro with 512GB plus cellular. Huge upgrade from my iPad Air 2. I don’t notice the blooming for normal viewing nor I set the brightness 100% brightness. But I still notice shadow around the border which I didn’t notice when setting my iPad. Only notice when I heard from other people commenting on other website and RUclips. After a while I don’t notice it any more but sometime I do notice it when l look for it. Just wondering the shadow around the border is limitation of mini LED.
Well, probably the “Apple haters” would notice and make a “big” deal of not being a “perfect” tablet. No, Leel, I’m convinced you love the iPad, just people out there that to pick a bone with Apple. Mine’s on the way….sans cellular. Enjoy your iPad
@@uwekonnigsstaddt524 The new iPad Pro is much better what I had before. Bigger and better screen especially watching HDR content. The reason I asked about the shadow around the boarder is I want to know whether it’s a defect or just limitation of the mini LED. If defect then I can change it but if it’s limitation of mini LED than I can live with it. But most RUclipsr doing the review saying it’s a limitation of the miniLED. Congratulation of your new iPad. Can let me know if you have same issue with the shadow around the boarder if you are getting 12.9” iPad.
Does 12.9 inch mini led display on long hours of reading and watching online classes strains eyes because it has pwm is 11 inch ipad pro 2021 better because it doesn't use pwm pls clarify me
@@JerrySchulze I am very much confused between 12.9 and 11 because 11 is very small and 12.9 is large and jas pwm ,my purpose is long hours of study daily and notetaking watching online classes budget is not an issue for me which onebdo i prefer 12.9 or 11
Just a quick comment from over here in the UK - I have ordered both the M1 iMac 24inch [silver & max out 16 Gig 2TB] & the M1 iPad Pro12.9 version [5012 gig silver & cellular ] its quite ridiculous here My iMac is not due for delivery till July 12 !! and my iPad Pro is some time mid to late August ! not even a date on that one . I don't understand why apple just don't manufacture enough at the time of sale , They must have some idea just how many will be sold in the first 2 / 3 months !! Especially with a completely new product like the iMac !
The thing that bothers me is if i upgrade my 2020 iPad Pro and then software that could fully exploit the new iPad hardware never materializes then i have wasted my money.
It’s the need for Logic and final cut that is the first pro apps that it should feature. It’s an excellent production tool that now has the powerful M1 range of silicon. We need new software for it not a million different hardware configurations or glass backs bla bla bla bla bla! Logic / final cut now please .👽
Waiting for my 12.9 to arrive. Think the camera being so far on the side in landscape mode is going to bug the hell out of me. Some people report the display is further back behind the screen and you can kinda see a gap between the two as if you had a really thick screen cover. Did you notice this?
You only notice the gap if you get your microscope out and sit looking at it rather than using your iPad. It is just YT reviewers looking for clicks! Same with blooming, you really do not notice it. As for the front camera, just look at the camera? Remember they will see you from the camera so just adjust your seating and your field of view will still easily allow you to watch the other person if that is your thing!
@@JerrySchulze What about from a photographers point of view. I’ve always used PC laptops and would like to switch. Some photographers have said that IPad Pro is a good if you don’t have the budget for a MacBook Pro. Thank You
i'm waiting for WWDC to see if I buy the 12.9 for my photography work flow, but I get a chuckle every time the centre stage feature - my google nest hub max has done that since i bought 2 years ago. Hoping that WWDC brings some beef to IpadOS.
@@JerrySchulze what a let down! I am a windows 10 user for my desktop and Laptop. The laptop is a 2016 HP envy and doesn't really cut it these days. Was looking to buy into the Ipad Pro as a replacement - not now. really want a tablet instead of a laptop - so much more usable - providing the software is there. will hold off now to see what Adobe and Capture One do.
When you say “full suite” do you mean like making pivot tables and running macros? The iPad versions of the office suite are really good but do not have all features of desktop. OneNote on iPad is awesome.
@@JerrySchulze For clarification, I'm a project manager at a medium sized pharmaceutical company. I need to make Gantt charts in Microsoft Project, post them to teams, crunch data in Excel, and manage a database in Access. I also need to manage my team in both Teams and on a web-based HR management app. I also need to be able to take notes using OneNote in meetings, then quickly digest and transfer those notes into documents in word and/or Acrobat Reader, all while reading and responding to emails and setting up meetings in Outlook throughout the day. I was looking at the iPad Pro and Surface Pro X for their battery life and touch screen/pens.
Office for iPad may not suit your needs, however, I am not sure that the Pro X runs FULL office either. I would check on that because it may have the same reduction in features.
@@JerrySchulze yeah I noticed that after watching some reviews on the surface pro X. I might wait and see if they release a surface pro 8 later this year.

Main reason im getting this new Pro; got a new digital, mirrorless camera and there are nice photo apps for it. Of course, the Pro will be used for a ton more stuff than photography.
@@uwekonnigsstaddt524 I use Lightroom for iPad for my digital camera. Really great.
I bought cause she's the no 1 of all ipads
I love how the graphics are in call of duty mobile still not to ipad pro 12 9 5th gen spec to make call of duty mobile in better graphics with 2.5k graphics
Great review. Well balanced and informative. Which USB-C hub are you using with it currently? I tried to find the one you list in your accessories, the Andobil USB-C Hub, but it is no longer available from Amazon, and that makes me wonder if it is a good choice.
For iPad I usually use the CalDigit SOHO now. geni.us/fiTIS2p
I’ve watched so many videos, trying to decide what iPad I want to use for art… still can’t decide!! 😖
Just got mine new 12.9 IPad Pro yesterday. Love it! Trying to find some design apps for it! Thanks.
Nice!!
I feel you're being a tad bit partial.. but I will still subscribe I like the review for the most part, and more importantly IT DID help me decide to get the 11 pro. also I am digging the setup and color grading on the video. will be looking for more reviews. cheers
I appreciate that!
Does the new iPP FaceID unlock like my iPhone if I'm wearing a COVID mask (using the Apple Watch) like my iPhone 11Pro? The screen of the iPP IMHO is stunning. The issues you talked about are something I do not really see. I'm sure they are there, but when I'm engrossed in using the iPP the issues remain not a big deal to me. The speakers are great! Both the screen and speakers are a vast improvement over my 2018 iPP. No 5G in my area with my carrier, so that is a benefit I have yet to see. Thanks for the great video!
Don’t wear a mask , then you’ll be 👌
how do you use your watch to unlock your phone?
With regard to the camera, why not just turn on centerstage with your video?
4:34
Great video. Where do u keep your contacts? Outlook account or iCloud? I mean because I saw a lot MS apps
Google is where my personal contact and calendar live. I also use office and OneDrive for my file storage. I use a little bit of everything.
I'm going to wait for the 2022 Apple 🍎 M2 ipad
My current iPad is from 2018,,so this one seems to be huge upgrade though it’s from last year..the new iPad Pro 2022 is ridiculous overpriced and as from what I’ve heard not worth it,,vs this version..thanks for the review
Apps like sketch up viewer ans ARki use the LiDAR camera to anchor 3D models onto a physical surface like a table or ground.
Is it just me or is there a horrible lag when scrolling? It makes things look blurred and hurts my eyes but no one else seems to be able to see it
hmm, not something I am seeing.
Why buy though, the apps wont be able to use the hardware as they are capped.
Thank you sir, you have earned a sub:)
Awesome, thank you!
Awesome video. Every year I upgraded my iPad Pro. I’m convinced the iPad Pro is a tablet for best choice. But, with the exception to the 2021 iPad Pro. Unfortunately, Apple dropped the bomb on the 2021 model. At this time I’m involved with a Apple care open case trying to resolved screen dimming. This is my second replacement for the iPad. The issues with the new 2021 iPad including the iPhone 13, screen brightness will dim in and out based on the outdoor temperatures environment. Yes, all settings adjusted, auto brightness turned off, and any another settings are turned off that may reflect or control the display from dimming. Also, OS always updated to the latest versions. An issue that only accord’s during the time the iPad is used outdoors, not indoors. Indoors, video editing or playing intense games on the iPad maintains its brightness, regardless how warm it will get. Outdoors, surfing the web, reading emails, or RUclips, within an hour the brightness will dim in and out. Sometimes, the brightness will dim too low making it bearable to see content on the screen. The dimming issues only happens between 11:00 AM to sun down (if the temperature is around 74 and up).
Yeah, definitely a flaw in the 2021 model with the sensor that will determine the display brightness when set to auto or off. When auto brightness is turned off, the sensor will still kick in based on the outdoors temperature, ranging from 74 to 95 degrees. Whereby, within a short period of time using the iPad Pro 2021 outdoors, display will dim in and out making it useless to be used outdoors. This flaw seems to be more of a hardware issue vs the OS. Older iPad Pro version did not have a dimming problem when it is used outdoors. Same for the iPhone.
No RUclips Content Creators are addressing this issue with new iPad Pro 2021. Reason, their reviews are presented indoors. I’m 100% sure the iPad Pro dimming isn’t a isolated issue. It’s been over three months for Apple care not resolving the dimming problem. And for now, I’m stuck with a $1,500 metal glass plate which is worthless for outdoor use. After the holidays, my answer is to go back to the iPad Pro 2020 model unless Apple has a fixed beforehand.
Wow that sucks. I have not seen this issue with mine. This must be an isolated or limited issue.
Same problem with iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Thanks for this in-depth review and awesome presentation of each detail. Kindly guide me through two things:
1) Do the ipads tend to bend with time ?
2) Apart from mini led XDR display would 11" ipad effect my productivity, i.e., reading & note-taking ?
I think 11 is great for notes, reading, casual stuff. iPads don't bend unless you bend them.
I’ve had a 12.9 2018 since launch and haven’t experienced any bending, and I’m a power user and throws it in my bag daily (not literally throwing)
Oh yeah they bent easily. Its not a secret. But the M1 are sicker so maybe stronger than 2018/2020.
I am still using a 2nd gen iPad Pro (just ordered a 5th gen). No bending issues. Only issue i see commonly in old iPads is batteries acting up… ie not lasting as long or for those who always leave it plugged in, not lasting at all if they unplug it.
Not flat. Camera is outside.
I got one. Loving it!
awesome!
If you have the 2015 iPad Pro would you be upgrading to the 2021 iPad Pro?
Yes!!!!
Good review Jerry. I think I would go for the smaller one myself.
Right on
I'd just want that tshirt, where do i get it?
Its a secret! Old Navy.
What do you think about the weight comparison? Is it noticeable and annoying?
between the 2019 and 2021? You notice when holding both but they are both too heavy for long term holding.
@@JerrySchulze thank you so much for the answer! I decided to go with the m1 because I’m updating from a ipad air from around 2014, that way I’m future proof and have the new display for drawing and watching netflix. That way I don’t think I will regret not getting the slightly lighter 2020 model 😊
I’ve recently bought the 12.9 iPad pro, but why does yours look bigger than mine?
Don’t make it sound bad
Wide angle lens?
@@JerrySchulze yeah, i’ve thought about it after commenting. Ty tho
The bigger device i heard has more ram along with different panel technology. File management improvements would be most welcome for the next iteration.
11” & 12.5” iPads with 1GB or 2GB have 16GB RAM, 12.5 has LRD, not the 11”.
No wrong. 11/12.9" share the same amount of ram.
I got iPad Pro 9.7 should I upgrade…
Yes 100%!!!! You’ll not regret it!
just curious ?
I still have the first edition of the iPad Pro and I'm thinking to buy a new one
of course the price matters but would you go for the 2020 edition or the 2021 ??
21 if you can afford it but 2020 is good too.
@@JerrySchulze thanks I will go for the 2021 then 👍
I use the iPad camera for taking photos and adding it to my notes on the GoodNotes app. It’s really good that way ...
cool, thanks for sharing!
This iPad is great and I love it, it does everything I need to do my job. Its a bit overkill sure but the only thing I am still wishing for: Logic Pro X so i can do my hobbies on it as well as content consumption and professional work.
Not overkill; future proof
I’d like to hear your opinion after WWDC and iPad Os 15
Why do RUclips videos on the IPad Pro only view in 720p?
you can change the video settings per video from the 3 dot menu or for all from the settings. Also safari will play 4k.
@@JerrySchulze Thanks for replying. I can change the quality in Safari but I can’t in Chrome. Also the notification feature (bell) isn’t available in Chrome either. Every thing works fine on my MacBook Pro. Help.
At the 2:19 mark I can see a little blooming around the fire 🔥
Its really caused by the iPhone camera. When watching with your eyes and there is motion you juts don't really see anything.
I already have the 2018 ipp and want to go 11” this time and this video made up my mind for me! TY good sir
Awesome!
Apple don’t seem to have the money or the expertise to fully develop their iPad OS in order to provide you with things like proper file structure and external display support. Believe me, if they could overcome these massive obstacles, they would, because they love their customers and will do anything to make them completely happy and satisfied. So you just hang around for a few more model upgrades and as soon as they have the resources, they will be right onto it.
If you have detected a note of cynicism in the above text, then you are right on the button. Apple could not care less about you (meaning Apple buyers in general) or indeed your incessant tablet demands. iPad Pro owners, of which I am one, seem to feel they are somehow a special breed in Apple’s vision and supreme plan, and are happy to keep updating their hardware year on year based on minor model changes. They loyally and patiently wait for features that I am convinced will never come - features that, if incorporated in the iPad Pro OS, would probably see massive reductions, if not the complete demise, of their laptop sales.
Dream on, ye faithful.
“Apple don’t seem to have the money” Ha!
I don't know if I'm a minority or what but I still wouldn't buy an iPad* even if they added some desktop-class features. Granted, I've never never owned an iPad but I do own a MacBook Pro. An iPad with some desktop-class features is still an iPad in my mind and a laptop is still a laptop. A laptop is still the device to pick if you need to crunch those numbers if you need to.
I'm a developer and I do a lot of compiling, virtualization and containerization. I would never see myself doing that stuff on an iPad.
* when I say "I would never buy an iPad" I mean as a computer replacement. Basically, an iPad will always be a secondary device for me.
They can. It will just eat into MacBook sales.
Apple said: we want to make the best device in its category
What ipad would bethe "best" for running the strongest chess apps like stockfisk nne, lco etc.?
Performance wise they will all be just fine. Choose the screen size you want.
why does every ipad pro video now seems to use this same wallpaper?
Its the new wallpaper that comes with the new iPads.
Right on bro. Sometimes a large screen helps as programs progress. Sort of a work in progress with Apple. We are participating in history. Like it or otherwise. Some strange withholds I guess we have gotten used to or just accept. They seem to be polishing a rock these days, but you never know as their approaches can get accepted over time. Imagine - announcing a computer. Really. So 1980s. Yes finding ways to do what you want, need. That’s 70s.
Are the volume buttons and power button wiggly on the iPad Pro? Which colour and size did y’all get?
The buttons feel solid and not wiggly. I went with Silver for this version.
Appreciate the response :) I guess mine is defective then. I noticed a lot of RUclipsrs having the silver colour for this version, must be to match with the magic keyboard I guess
@@shaikhharith6719 strange. I have had space gray for so long wanted to change up. Silver does look better with the white keybaord.
@@JerrySchulze Right, I see. In a dilemma for the colours as both is nice, haha. Thanks for replying by the way.
now that's 🔥 thanks 🙏
Glad you like it!
with protruding camera? so not completely flat
I have purchase 12.9” M1 iPad Pro with 512GB plus cellular. Huge upgrade from my iPad Air 2. I don’t notice the blooming for normal viewing nor I set the brightness 100% brightness. But I still notice shadow around the border which I didn’t notice when setting my iPad. Only notice when I heard from other people commenting on other website and RUclips. After a while I don’t notice it any more but sometime I do notice it when l look for it. Just wondering the shadow around the border is limitation of mini LED.
I don't know what is causing it but it only happens on the XDR.
Well, probably the “Apple haters” would notice and make a “big” deal of not being a “perfect” tablet. No, Leel, I’m convinced you love the iPad, just people out there that to pick a bone with Apple. Mine’s on the way….sans cellular. Enjoy your iPad
@@uwekonnigsstaddt524 The new iPad Pro is much better what I had before. Bigger and better screen especially watching HDR content. The reason I asked about the shadow around the boarder is I want to know whether it’s a defect or just limitation of the mini LED. If defect then I can change it but if it’s limitation of mini LED than I can live with it. But most RUclipsr doing the review saying it’s a limitation of the miniLED. Congratulation of your new iPad. Can let me know if you have same issue with the shadow around the boarder if you are getting 12.9” iPad.
where are the buttons in portait mode? is the same as the 11 inch pro?
yes.
The M1 is nice as hell, imagine what they are gonna do next year so I'm a wait and get the next iPad
Then you should wait for the one after that!
Nice review as always
I appreciate that
Hey I’m new here lol your shirt gives me ptsd 😭😭😭😭 good video still thinking about getting this
Lol
Does 12.9 inch mini led display on long hours of reading and watching online classes strains eyes because it has pwm is 11 inch ipad pro 2021 better because it doesn't use pwm pls clarify me
I dont have an issue but I know some people may be sensitive to pwm.
@@JerrySchulze does blue light filter lens prevents eyestrain and headache
@@JerrySchulze I am very much confused between 12.9 and 11 because 11 is very small and 12.9 is large and jas pwm ,my purpose is long hours of study daily and notetaking watching online classes budget is not an issue for me which onebdo i prefer 12.9 or 11
In device programmability?
Swift playgrounds? Virtual machine?
Just a quick comment from over here in the UK - I have ordered both the M1 iMac 24inch [silver & max out 16 Gig 2TB] & the M1 iPad Pro12.9 version [5012 gig silver & cellular ] its quite ridiculous here My iMac is not due for delivery till July 12 !! and my iPad Pro is some time mid to late August ! not even a date on that one . I don't understand why apple just don't manufacture enough at the time of sale , They must have some idea just how many will be sold in the first 2 / 3 months !! Especially with a completely new product like the iMac !
I think it is actually coming down to chip shortages that has been affecting the rest of the industry for the last year.
Yeah they weren't gonna deliver my iPad until Julyish so on drop day i scurried down to the apple store lmao
It seems like the Delivery time comes earlier in North America.
I love your wallpaper! Where can I download it? Anyone? Thanks!
I want it but I'm not going Rush into buying a ipad pro
Great! No wonder you have so many thumbs up!
the apps on the ipad can only support 5gb of ram it still cant handle the potential of the 8gb of ram until we wait for wwdc for m1 support
The thing that bothers me is if i upgrade my 2020 iPad Pro and then software that could fully exploit the new iPad hardware never materializes then i have wasted my money.
What do you think now?
@@JerrySchulze I’m glad I didn’t upgrade.
Im waiting for Capture One 21 for ipad pro M1 , soon!
Really good review
Much appreciated!
Ipad OS is holding this ipad back . Very capable hardware - this should have mac os software instead.
It’s the need for Logic and final cut that is the first pro apps that it should feature. It’s an excellent production tool that now has the powerful M1 range of silicon. We need new software for it not a million different hardware configurations or glass backs bla bla bla bla bla! Logic / final cut now please .👽
That size would be great if it could fold.
I will buy iPad Pro m1 this coming September
Very nice! What do you plan to use it for?
Decided to get digitally organized coz it’s quiet convenient to use in law school where there are tons of notes to be done. :)
Want to know how iPad Pro handles office apps such as Office 365
They do not have 100% feature parity but they are really good!
@@JerrySchulze Do the apps run on the iPad or in the cloud or both?
@@richardstover1936 you can run on Safari or down load the apps. Downloading will be better.
Waiting for my 12.9 to arrive. Think the camera being so far on the side in landscape mode is going to bug the hell out of me.
Some people report the display is further back behind the screen and you can kinda see a gap between the two as if you had a really thick screen cover. Did you notice this?
I do not notice a gap.
You only notice the gap if you get your microscope out and sit looking at it rather than using your iPad. It is just YT reviewers looking for clicks! Same with blooming, you really do not notice it.
As for the front camera, just look at the camera? Remember they will see you from the camera so just adjust your seating and your field of view will still easily allow you to watch the other person if that is your thing!
Love the video and that shirt!
Thanks!
😎 What external monitor are you using in this video?
geni.us/kHh03fX
That t shirt had me confusing in the first seconds of the video 😅😅
Can you use normal password that was there in then earlier iPads rather than using Face ID.
yes
@@JerrySchulze What about from a photographers point of view. I’ve always used PC laptops and would like to switch. Some photographers have said that IPad Pro is a good if you don’t have the budget for a MacBook Pro. Thank You
iPad Pro plus keyboard or other accessories are same cost or more than the MacBook Air/
Bro does the 11 inch wifi model ipad have sim card slot or not pls reply
Nope
For me the 12.9 ipad from 2020 because there is no diference. At least for me….
i'm waiting for WWDC to see if I buy the 12.9 for my photography work flow, but I get a chuckle every time the centre stage feature - my google nest hub max has done that since i bought 2 years ago. Hoping that WWDC brings some beef to IpadOS.
thoughts now?
@@JerrySchulze what a let down! I am a windows 10 user for my desktop and Laptop. The laptop is a 2016 HP envy and doesn't really cut it these days. Was looking to buy into the Ipad Pro as a replacement - not now. really want a tablet instead of a laptop - so much more usable - providing the software is there. will hold off now to see what Adobe and Capture One do.
I need a tablet computer that can run the full office suite and take handwritten notes in onenote. Is the iPad a better option than a surface pro?
When you say “full suite” do you mean like making pivot tables and running macros? The iPad versions of the office suite are really good but do not have all features of desktop. OneNote on iPad is awesome.
@@JerrySchulze For clarification, I'm a project manager at a medium sized pharmaceutical company. I need to make Gantt charts in Microsoft Project, post them to teams, crunch data in Excel, and manage a database in Access. I also need to manage my team in both Teams and on a web-based HR management app. I also need to be able to take notes using OneNote in meetings, then quickly digest and transfer those notes into documents in word and/or Acrobat Reader, all while reading and responding to emails and setting up meetings in Outlook throughout the day. I was looking at the iPad Pro and Surface Pro X for their battery life and touch screen/pens.
Office for iPad may not suit your needs, however, I am not sure that the Pro X runs FULL office either. I would check on that because it may have the same reduction in features.
@@JerrySchulze yeah I noticed that after watching some reviews on the surface pro X. I might wait and see if they release a surface pro 8 later this year.
