How has the M4 iPad Pro held up after a solid month of REAL WORLD use?
Lets find out!

Gary pls don’t do the “I WAS WRONG” title - you’re too good for that
lol he needs the video to reach people. Thank you RUclips algorithm.
Has nothing to do with him personally. It's what the Al-Gore-ithem wants. In the YT Studio app it actually tells us what people are looking for. Clickbaity titles work.. good better or indifferent. Boring titles do not get clicks. Without the click no videos get watched.
It’s comical at this point. He’s not the only one. They’re all wrong watch 😂
@@D4NNYF00 then they will all change their minds again!12
In the 6 month review he’ll be wrong again.
Writing with the Apple Pencil is the main reason I left my MacBook Pro and went all-iPad Pro. You can easily erase text, move text, color text, etc. All while walking around in a factory. PLUS, you can do word search years later and find your stuff! MY MACBOOK PRO IS HISTORY.
The biggest issue though is just no browsers with desktop extensions. Ublock, sponsor block, stuff like that..
Instead of getting the new Magic Keyboard case for my 11” M4 iPP, I’m using a Bluetooth keyboard & mouse and a foldable stand for the iPad.
The keyboard is thin and light with full sized backlit keys and stellar battery life from the internal, usb-c rechargeable battery.
The stand cost about $30 from Amazon.
The mouse is an old Logitech mouse I’ve had for a few years.
This setup cost me half as much as a new Magic Keyboard case. And it’s more ergonomic: the iPad is a little higher than it would be in the MK case so I’m not bending my neck down as much. Plus, the keyboard and iPad screen can be positioned independently from each other, another ergonomic win.
But the MK case is clearly more convenient and easier to travel with.
When I’m traveling, I just bring the bt keyboard. The ipad case I have is also a stand, and I just do without the mouse.
When the new iPads released the price on the M1 iPad Air dropped, and when it hit $399 I jumped on it. It more than meets my modest needs.
I like the screens on the Pro too much, but that is a great deal for a great tablet!
The M2 iPad Airs DO support the Apple Pencil Pro! It’s a big reason why I decided the Air 13 was the way to go as it offers so much value per dollar compared to the Pros.
Hi, (I will assume you have an iPhone at least iPhone X so 1 oled screen), is the iPad Air screen really that yellow compared to your phone ? I didn’t like the m4 and am thinking of buying the air but I heard that the screen makes everything darker/yellow
@@-S-JM I have an LCD iPad and the screen is great, no complaints here
@@-S-JM I have an iPhone 13 Pro. Turned True Tone off on both and held side by side while typing this. The iPad is cooler (more blue) and the iPhone is warmer (more yellow) to my eyes.
Both displays are very nice in their own ways. The only way I could see what you’re referring to is if True Tone is turned on in a room with lighting that biases the screen to be more yellow. But any of Apple’s products with True Tone would do that.
@@sleepyengineer679 ohh, then it’s perfect, tbf I don’t really understand the oled hype, was kinda disappointed since the colours aren’t familiar although my iPhone also has an oled screen.
Since I watch on my laptop who isn’t an oled I guess that’s the kind of screen I’m comfortable with, I’ll go as soon as I’m free to compare the pro and air (I should’ve done this from the start), budget isn’t an issue anymore however the speakers on the m4 disgust me, 4 is too much, I don’t know if I should wait next gen air who’ll probably have an oled screen which won’t bother me as long as it’s not two layers but I’m afraid they will add 2 other speakers
(I wonder if they’ll give it M4 chip)
To not get sores eyes, headache, tired eyes you have to put the screen at full brightness (because the flickering give headaches) and it’s impossible, at half brightness the screen was too bright already, when I put it at max brightness I felt like watching the sun.
I don’t often watch dramas, documentaries and others stuffs with read world content, im more into anime so having the best quality (deep black for ex) isn’t that much important, what I didn’t like of how the light colours became darker which doesn’t make sense
I’m an artist so that the only thing that require oled, I hate my life and my pessimistic nature, procrastination and other stuffs
I have another question for you, did you before had another iPad that you traded for this air ? If yes, which one and how much did you get for it (I may do this if I decide to buy an iPad this year)
The worst part about the m4 is reading a text, white lines on black screen is horrible
Facts
The 11" M4 iPad Pro is the first iPad I bought for myself. I don't use it everyday and I use it only as a tablet. I LOVE the display which is great for consuming content. I like knowing that this iPad will be snappy and supported by Apple for many years to come.
I mean, if you're just consuming content on it, why not buy some of the AAA games to play on it. That tablet is a beast.
@@smittyvanjagermanjenson182might as well get a console or a gaming PC…. A tablet is a tablet, not a gaming device
absolutely, i have this ipad pro m4 11 inch space black 256gb, its unbelivable,
the ipad 7th generation with apple A10 chip is still supported so this ipad should be updated for like 8 years because of the way apple is supporting their a series chip ipads
Like Teach Gear Talk said “Buy it nice or buy it twice” I believe in buying it once for quality and longevity of the product.
The M4 w/tandem oled alone is enough of a reason to get an M4 iPad.
For me it’s the ability to open up the iPad with Cellular and get 85% accomplished with relative ease and no barrier. The Apple Pencil pro and Face 🆔 are so convenient and I really wish Apple would just bite the bullet and either put MacOS or a better filing system. Like just match the file system and that’s 99%
With a few added shortcuts the filing system is just fine. It feels a bit different but its all folders and files. MacOs will probably never happen. They would lose too much sales on Macs.
Turning off background app refresh has been a game changer for my M4 iPad Pro. It’s made it so that I lose minimal battery when the iPad is not in use. Before this i would be put off using my iPad as every time i come to use it, it was low on battery.
Thanks!
Tbh unless you need promotion, or are an artist the M2 ipad air is such an incredible value, and are more than enough for most people. Plus the M2 air supports the new pencil as well
I'm blown away with my M4 iPad Pro and the new Apple Pencil. I wish that I could hate on Apple for this one, I can't. They meet and exceed my expectations.
I brought it and love it but it would have be perfect if they keep the same thickness with bigger battery
Don’t need the M4. Still doing fine with the 2018 iPad Pro with the A12X.
When I'm out in the wild, people ask me if my iPad is the new M4. I tell them nope, its the A12Z!
I was too! But I upgraded for all the upcoming AI features and OLED screen. One thing I know is it’ll last me more than 5 years which makes it a good purchase
I just replaced mine. I wanted the M2 pro on sale, but it was sold out. So far the M4 is pretty great. It does feel like a device that will last me 6+ years. Also I think the used value of the 2018 Pro will probably drop further next year. But so far there isn't really a reason to upgrade.
1 month from now: “why I’m returning my M4 iPad Pro”
Ummm, you can't return an iPad after 2 months...
@@DonCovin you ever heard of the term "figurative"?
No1's going to return the M4 iPad once they get used to the tandem oled
I’ve owned the 11” M4 Pro for going on two months now. This is my 4th iPad. I love the new pencil pro for the same reasons you do, Gary. And I am really enjoying the speed, and the fabulous display. But I hate, hate, HATE iPadOS. I want MacOS on this powerful piece of hardware, Apple.
how is the screen, do you notice pwm ?
I couldn’t keep using my 10.5” iPad Pro. Or at least I really didn’t want to.
It could no longer fully support all iPad features. Primarily Stage Manager.
But the display was just too anemic as well.
As I got older my ability to read text on it, especially if I went outside or just needed to work in a bright environment, was just too limited.
Even the performance of the old iPad was a bit limiting.
The M4 iPad Pro Display brightness is astonishingly good. I can even enjoy watching movies in a bright environment.
But my ability to work on it anywhere is the biggest difference.
It’s quick. It’s bright. No problems reading manuals or anything else. The keyboard is great (though a bit heavy and not well balanced).
I haven’t gotten hooked on the Pencil Pro yet. I’ve been taking notes on a keyboard for a very long time. But I’m planning on adding hand written notes because sometimes I really need to draw graphs. And I don’t like switching back and forth from keyboard to pencil.
And, oh my gosh. The 5G is killer.
But will somebody PLEASE fix the iPadOS file management?
To me this upgrade was a complete no brainer.
I have the M4 iPad Pro and am quite happy with it. I do not have any version of the Apple Pencil. ipadOS is fine for what I use it for, although the lame way it handles files and file-systems is annoying. It wants to believe that users have only a few files to work with, while at the same time it is providing hundreds of gigabytes (or even terabytes!) of space. I'm using it many for entertainment and for controlling the few devices I have in my Apple home. Given the nature of the work I do, I could not use an iPad (or anything similar to an iPad) to do my work.
Great review. I have an iPad pro that's a few years old and have not found a compelling reason to upgrade. It's still a stellar tablet to this day.
I have no doubt that this generation iPad should really make Apple think about rebranding their computer line. The iMac should revert to the Macintosh or "Mac" name. Leaving the iMac name available for the "mobile Mac" the renamed iPad. The designs already effectively mirror each other. If the Mac, closed up its bezels, rounded the screen edge to match the corners and dropped the chin while increasing size to 27" standard, then the Mac and iMac designs are nearly identical, other than aspect ratio. This would give Apple the opportunity to slowly phase out the MacBook lineup and leave a very simple line of incredible products. I would also love to see Apple drop "Pro" and "air" branding and just align all similar models into one design and just allow for internal customization to the desired or necessary capability.
Mac 27" and 32"
iMac 11" and 13"
iPhone 6" and 7"
iWatch 45mm and 50mm
It is unfortunate that iMac is no longer a thing in terms of the 27" with the best display of any computer. The M3 24" is basically a glorified MacBook Air. Sure, it can't handle advanced rendering or heavy graphic design work, but then it's not a $6 Grand-and above product.
I bought the iPad Air 11 M2 with Apple Pencil Pro based on your feedback! I couldn’t justify it to myself to go Pro at roughly twice the price.
I have m1 iPad Pro. M2 iPad Pro and the M4 iPad Pro. I’m glad you are bringing up the good points. I have been teaching school for 25 years. Before the iPad Pro. My job as a music teacher was a lot more difficult than it is now. Apple products are a lot more secure than any product I have used I spend about 8 to 10 hours a day on mine between school and home. The M 4 is a lot faster than the others. Just my opinion
This is a great video. I totally agree on the batter life. Previously, I worked 95% from an iPad M1 air and I enjoyed it however it seemed like I was always worried about the battery life. I bought the 11 inch M4 iPad Pro. The screen is incredible and the battery life. I am so impressed with.
My old sony digital paper has the same squeeze to erase function as a button on the pen. Truly a product ahead of its time.
Wish Google and Microsoft would fix Google Sheets and Excel. Can’t use it to replace my MacBook Pro until I can get all the same features as the Mac with those apps.
You said it... I too want macOS on iPads, and I will go buy one right now, the Pro one. I just need the terminal and the associated environment that comes through it.
Sold my iPad Pro, MacBook Pro and Mac Studio. Was able to buy an awesome ThinkPad X1C w/WWAN. Replaced all three devices with one.
I'm testing the iPad pro now (32gb ram, 1 tb, nano old version).
I'm starting school next month and deciding between this and the surface pro. The pencil is remarkably fun and functional. It may be the main reason I stick with the iPad.
I’ve said most of this since the 2017 iPad Pro. Still love your former 13” M1 iPad Pro. Nice keyboard, beautiful screen, still snappy, but .. still heavy. No need for a MacBook.
I had an iPad 10th gen and moved to the pro m4 with the pro pencil best decision ever!!!
I also have the iPad M4. I was a bit skeptical about buying it initially, but I'm glad I did. It's a powerhouse. Thank you so much for your awesome videos and content. Always look forward to watching. Back on here all the way from Scotland. ✌🏻
I have the M4 11 with MKB and PP. Best iPad yet and my experience dates to iPad 1. iPadOS works well for my use case and I'm glad Apple is committed to continuing to develop it.
Great vid! The honest approach is def refreshing! So I have the M4 IPad Pro - and really like it! But like you say, it needs a touch-enabled desktop OS. I understand that MacOS on an IPad could cannibalize the MacBook market, but it’s the equivalent of what MS is doing with the SurfacePro - and Windows laptops and desktops still sell. And given that the IPad Pro is nearly the same cost as a MacBook now, it would just give users more options in terms of which hardware appeals to their workflow/lifestyle the most.
This is not necessarily a bad thing, as Sidecar allows your mouse near the edge of screen to appear on iPad. This is handy, but the drawbacks are the iPad be tethered to the USB or Thunderbolt, and getting the mouse back to the connected computer is a bit finicky. Nice feature and all, but I think this is mostly for those who want to work on a second screen. Think of it with the dual screen on Nintendo DS.
Good video. Another cool thing about the Apple Pencil pro I noticed compared to second one is that I can consistently get the double tap function to work. With the previous pencil, it felt like I had to double tap on particular parts of the pencil to activate it, so I had to rotate it around to search for the spots. For the Pro, though, this has no longer been an issue.
Apple increased form over function when they could have increased the battery life.
They made it thinner and lighter. You must not have been around for the iPod days. If you want a bulky tablet that lasts days, go elsewhere.
@@smittyvanjagermanjenson182 The iPad Pro should have a "Pro" battery life.
@@etanlgwhy don’t they make it 50kg with a 10 year battery life then?
Heads up: The new iPad Pro makes your Magic Keyboard from last year obsolete. They want you to fork out for the new version. If only I’d known-I’d have kept my iPad Pro m2 😢
Did you know that Windows keyboard and mouse work well if you have an available USB to connect the dongle? In other words, a non-Apple keyboard and mouse, such as Logitech. Windows computers (such as Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, etc.) will recognize an Apple keyboard and mouse through Bluetooth, but will not communicate unless you can find appropriate drivers to install manually, if there even are any.
All iPads have/had phenomenal battery life when new. My 2017 10.5" iPad Pro used to have 11 hrs of life when new. Now it's 5-6 hrs, at best. What will this iPad's battery be like in 2031? That's a "you need to upgrade your iPad ever 3 years" argument.
You can also buy a new battery if the features aren't worth the upgrade
Not with the 10.5”. Where I live, no tech will try. Apple would (for a reasonable price, too), but only if the battery is below 79%. Mine’s at 81%. Apple won’t do it at all above 79%. So… SOL.
I'm hopeful apple will eventually allow full VMs to run on the ipads. I don't want or need macos on the iPad, but I would like to be able to run a few specific apps (at least when connected to a keyboard and mouse) that either aren't available on ipados, or the ipados versions have super degraded functionality (like MS office). I've been trying lately to travel (when on non-work trips) with just my iPad and then remotely connect to my work PC laptop and personal MacBook pro to access a few specific apps. That works ok, except on my last trip my work laptop decided to force install updates and rebooted leaving me unable to connect which was a bummer.
Good solution but bad luck: Trust Windows to start trying to update at the most inconvenient moment! Lol.
How about selling the 2TB ipad pro with dual boot. One is ipad os, one is touch enable mac os.
The M2 iPad Air does have the squeeze pencil support, but no face ID. The M2 Pro has face ID, but no pencil squeeze.
I purchased a 11inch pro… but thinking of a 13 inch… still considering cellular unit
I do like my M4 iPad Pro, but am I missing something here. The Apple Pencil has the tap to change between writing and erasing? I wish the squeeze function worked with more apps.
“I was wrong” but carried on using it anyway just in case I wasn’t….
Honestly
You're completely blown away and hooked... and if you haven't heard of the Apple Ecosystem, you will, and you'll end up in it... eventually...
I now have an iPad Pro from 2018 256 GB, it still works great, but now I want to buy the new tandem OLED iPad Pro, especially for the screen, I watch a lot of videos on my iPad, but I'm still in doubt whether to go for an 11 inch or 13 inch, because I'm afraid it would be too big? What do you recommend? 11 or 13 inch?
I got one to use for school mainly… ended up using it every day, only use my PC for gaming at this point. With the Magic Keyboard, I’m a big fan.
I agree. For the short while I had my iPad Pro M4 it was the best notebook experience. Yet, I can’t justify a 2k usd expense if they are not giving me at least a Unix terminal with modern software. I got a pretty sweet deal on an iPad Pro m1 and a surface pro x plus. (Really hard choice with the minisforim v3, but battery life wins)
You’re the best Gary. Very productive videos to watch as an apple consumer!
Last week I bought an iPad M4 and its restrictive OS which is only designed to use its monster hardware as a tablet was disappointing.
Why they don't let to boot Mac OS on it with bootcamp? Or just add some tablet features like what Microsoft did in its Surface to Mac OS and run it on iPad Silicone architecture?
Apple marketing strategy!
I took my M4 back after about a week. Sometimes I miss it but then I just think about he price. I miss that Newer Magic Keyboard more than anything!
What size of iPad Pro do you have?
You've planted the seed in my brain, so now I'm thinking of getting one after I get my iPhone 16 Pro Max.
I want the new Apple Pencil Pro _and_ the brighter screen (so it can be used more easily outside).
I had an old 6th gen iPad which I ended up giving to my wife, but feel that a new iPad Pro with cellular, pencil, and keyboard might make a nice traveling/entertainment/spur-of-the-moment-browsing/zooming companion.
If Ipad m4 is launched with MacOS than It makes sense to replace my macbk air M1
I don't think you're a fanboy It's just if Apple makes the product they know people are going to buy it they're not looking to cash in on people's money if somebody wants the features they're presenting in their products why wouldn't they make them and sell them 😊
Thanks for the video... I agree. Apple needs to create a (dare I say) "Dex" Mode... Call it OS Air, or iOS Pro, or Mac-Daddy iOS, whatever... I've wanted a touch-enabled 2-in-1 Apple device ever since my first Lenovo Yoga. I miss the Apple of Steve Jobs... closest thing to Flynn we've had :D.
I have the iPad Pro 13 M4 LTE + magic keyboard and I got it to replace my gen 1 ipad pro 12.9. Its good for quick photo editing on the move but I get so frustrated with the OS for everything else. So I defer to my Thinkpad X1 Yoga LTE. When travelling I take both, but when I can only take one device, its the X1 Yoga its lighter, bigger screen and superior keyboard, despite the magical dual OLED on the Pro. Apple needs to invest in the OS!!!!
I love ipad and iPadOS. I dont even touch my old retina MacBook Pro. Yes iPadOS can be better but it’s good for me. I’m upgrading my 2018 11” iPad Pro to the M4. I wanted a better screen and that its on the 11” rather than just the 12.9 is a plus. Honestly I want the M4 pro in mini form but thats for another topic
can you use a vpn on the ipad pro and watch videos in the web browser ?
Yea iOS has all major VPN’s available
I have the 2018 iPad Pro 12.9, and am doing great with it. But now i am running out of storage as i unfortunately only got the 64gb model back then… if the software took advantage of that new m4 chip, it’d be a no brainer for me to upgrade now. Plus that beautiful screen is calling my name…. But until that happens with ipad OS, it will be a test of how long I can stretch my remaining 6 gigs of storage 🥲
can you make a comparison video on metal tip vs rubber tip for ipad notetaking?
Just asking, which storage configuration do you have on your ipad pro?
Since I don’t change iPads that often then getting the latest version makes sense. I will use it until the no updates for it. I will order the 13 inch next week sometime.
Do you have both the sizes for the iPad that you used for footage or are my eyes deceiving me?
He originally had an iPad Pro 13”, but sold it because he didn’t like it as a laptop replacement, but then he bought a 11” because he is going back to school and it’s portable.
I agree dual boot on iPad Pro. Keep the Air as iPad OS to maintain its distance from the pro models.
After owning Surface Pro 8 with windows 11 for 2 years, I actually wish to have iPadOS for the touch oriented operations, touch screen operations on windows simply don’t work.
Love ur videos chief… I just bought my 1st ever iPad Pro… the M4.
However, how often do u charge urs? Do u have the 80% setting turned on?
My battery already has 2 cycles already…🤔😑
I just wish I could get the new pencil for my M1 Pro
The first honest iPad Pro m4 review. I wish I had the money to upgrade but am thankful for my m1
Good advice on the pencil & concerns about mac prog. ill now buy a pencil for my M4 (beautiful device) on your advice .....nice to see you are now using a microphone ( just need a large wind sock on it )😅
I've gone with a similar daily loadout since getting my Surface Pro a month ago, but with the older A12Z Bionic iPad Pro from 2020. As much as I like my 16-inch MacBook Pro, having a lighter load has been great, but I too find myself wanting macOS on the iPad. Honestly, if Apple were to finally announce an iPad running macOS, that's when I'll replace my now four year old device.
Doesn’t the Apple Pencil Pro work with the M2 iPad Airs as well?
It does
do you know you can do the exact same thing with a spen on galaxy tabs , just hold the button down and it will erase in samsung notes , ive some drawing apps but only clip studio paint hasd similar functionality
yeah but are you really taking this around instead of the Surface Pro 11?
Hey Bud, Nice video. I hope what I am writing makes sense. I understand the frustration you maybe going through on the IOS vs Mac OS’s. It would be so much easier for all, if we could toggle from one OS to the other like the Samsung Dex. Pretty much the reasons I would go with the M4 iPad Pros is that, we know the prices aren’t going to going down anytime soon. I am thinking that if we purchase any older version of iPad that we would regret it later on. Seems like everyone is saying to purchase the older versions. Yes, that will save some money now but, we know apple will update the software and the way apple is abandoning the older iPad products. You will need to purchase a new iPad in the future if you want the newer iPad functionality. Right now I have the 2018 - 10.5” version of iPad and can’t even use Stage Manager, I would love to use the multi tasking option. So, if you purchased the older M2 iPad, how much longer would that last and what functionality would you lose in the next couple of years? Then…. How much more would the newer iPad Pro cost in the future from what is being charged right now? The cost in the future would get you the entry level iPad Pro in the next couple years. Compared to what you are paying now for a 512GB model. Just a thought.
I like Dex for some stuff (file transfers to my PC, making a display a makeshift laptop for casual use), but as a whole, for an OS, it's practically useless. Apple knows what they have with MacOS. It could be achieved easily on an ipad air/pro, but I feel they would do it as he speculated, only the top tier pro would have the option someday
Using the M1 iPad Pro for now. I’ll wait for the M8, or M9 iPad, maybe then there will be enough iPad OS improvements. Maybe also they will be starting with 256GB/16GB as base, and maybe also they decide to stick with one pencil and not make the new iPad incompatible with older pencils. Who knows 😂
Yeah me too I have the M1 IPad Pro as well but I might upgrade the next version that comes out, I had a iPad 6 or something and only upgraded because I wanted 120hz. Now I really don’t see a need except for a renewed battery and better screen and longer battery life.
Same here bro, love my new M4 Ipad Pro and magic keyboard, but if by any chance we someday get mac OS on ipad, I would be walking on cloud 9. By the way, great video✌️
To justify the extreme price tag, iPads should do that much jobs! But all I can do with iPad is writing notes. If I can do programming, run 3D modeling and video editing programs, and play games on iPad Pro, I will understand the price.
You can do all of those things, they’re just limited compared to desktop. Swift playgrounds for programming (you can build your own app from scratch and launch it directly from your iPad). There’s sketch up, shaper 3D, valance 3D, nomad sculpt, and even Zbrush is coming this year for 3D work, as well as octane for path traced rendering. Davinci resolve, Final Cut Pro, CapCut, Luna fusion, etc. for editing. And you can even play death stranding, resident evil 4 remake and assassins creed mirage on it
just when I thought this was a video on how the M4 iPad really isn’t a bang for your buck, or the down falls of it for an individual content creator, this isn’t that. Another classic video on how the latest iPad is the best and I’d expect the same for the M5 iPad too 😂
you know you can use a pen with a button on the supernote? Like the scribe pen is compatible, I love the supernote and replaced my iPad as i get too distracted by literally anything
At least make a Samsung DeX feature😢
M2 iPad Airs work with the new Pencil Pro.
I love my M4 iPad Pro. My only issue is it dies sooooo fastttt!!
They should just make something similar to Samsung Dex. Like MacOS Lite or something.
awesome video! would love to see an iPad OS files video; like tips and tricks for daily use or if there's a better file option for iPad. Fee like it's so clunky downloading from the web and saving and retrieving files. thanks
Does yours get relatively warm while in use?
The battery life on the new ipad really sucks sigh!
There are interviews from the iPad Pro release of Apple saying they have no interest in turning the iPad Pro into a windows 8 or windows whatever PC, and it makes sense. That will bring forth a highly compromised experience. Some people just can’t see that for whatever reason. Think about it deeper and you’ll realize it would never work. iPadOS is totally fine and a great OS. It’s an on the go OS for a machine that is made for true portability. Not much it can’t do. Learn the system more and you’ll find that out. Plus, it will keep adding features over time and this convo won’t even be a thing eventually. Can’t compare a 40 year plus OS to an OS that hasn’t even been around for 2 decades.
No that is not it at all. Let's put the facts on the table first:
1. For MOST users, iPadOS mobile-os is more than enough and currently sells as such: This includes the line-up of iPad Mini, 9th/10th Gens, iPad Air (both sizes) and some degree of Price Laddering and Premium Goods market of customers who max out on the top of the line range models with iPad Pros.
2. For specialist users such as creators and business pros in such industries then iPad Pros maxed out are the go to Tablet and sell in this segment reasonably well.
So commercially there remains the business users who are left out of the above. Apple's solution to them is get 2 devices: Both a Macbook and an iPad and an iPhone to again boost sales and some of the others as well.
Now here's the real kicker talking commercial business interestings for Apple: If they did and they easily could provision a 2-in-1 iPad they'd CANNABALIZE their Macbook sales considerably as that is the main segment of customers who would switch to this device even more than business people running office apps on windows laptops which also some of which would migrate.
That's the fundamental reason why Apple does not provision an "iPad Ultra" line - yet.
If you try to argue that "technically" it's a bad experience equivalent to Windows 8 we can quite easily gather enough evidence that disputes that claim:
1. Remote into your Macbook from your iPad: The experience of using MacOS on the iPad is absolutely fine to use on an 11" screen. It's not even optimized and mainly you'd be running it with a keyboard and touchpad or mouse.
2. Which is precisely what the Magic Keyboard does and even looks very similar to a Macbook when docked!
3. Context-UI is easily to dev such as Android eg DeX on Samsung and works fine so you can actually run your device like a tablet with touch-UI or like a Desktop with Pointer/Type/Windows-UI also.
4. MacOS itself is aligning a lot closer in design language to iOS.
The main technical reasons against it currently are: Memory Allocation and background processes, CPU scheduling variations, kernal differences, different file system and a suite of user space restrictions eg virtualization, app installation, multitasking, file access rights etc.
Those are none of which are insurmountable technically. So in terms of both user design or technical specifications those are all solvable in some form. The main reason is business sense which also includes lucrative App Software margins to devs and purchases 30% apart from hardware sales of more devices.
Do note with the M4 chip or even the M1 it's so powerful you'd barely sacrifice the mobile-responsiveness or trouble the efficiency of task management in these devices already to say nothing of future M5 chips etc...
Great video! If the surface was the size of the iPad 11 inch I’d probably have it instead of my iPad.. I’d miss the app’s but in reality there’s plenty of apps available for windows.
The magic keyboard must physically be heavy, because it has to counterbalance the heavy iPad.
Everyday Dad, I have an offbeat request for a video. I'd be curious to know how you manage your time! Seriously, I think you could do a good job with it. Thanks, love the channel!
I have the Ipad Pro M4 Love it so far I really wish Mac OS can be included with it and switch back to Ipad OS I wanna use my Final Cut Pro App instead of paying a monthly subscription for something I already have and make great thumbnails and animations as well. I hope they give us a regular pointer curser instead of a circle this thing has so much potential its sad its wasted to just Ipad OS.
Excellent Video! Always right to the point and personally I agree with all you say. I do like the magic keyboard but sure wish it was lighter. Thanks for all you do.
The Apple Pencil Pro works on the iPad Air so really it’s just the one thing the pro does
my m1 pro still fast enuf.. and this new ipad pro needs to get a new pencil..
Erase with a squeeze? What the heck, I didn’t know that! GAME CHANGER….dang I might have to upgrade now🤪
You’re too funny. 😅But I Agree and I am in the same boat. I never used the older Pencils. This is a game changer.
Please share the link for this iPad wallpaper..
YES - MacOS on the pro please
What’s your go to Notes app?
Man you really pumped this one out huh… horrible ad, bad script and poor edits/cuts, “I was wrong!” Icing on top. Sad to see you shill out…
Unsubscribed
feels illegal to be this early but so far a great video good job
It’s just us and these bots 🤫
I am between buy the m2 ipad air or the ipad pro m1 or m2 because the m4 is too expensive for me.. i know i am no one here, but if you could make a video telling your point of view between the ipad air m2 and ipad pro m2 for people that work with heavy files, like architecture programs and etc.. i would be more then i am now, as your fan 😂❤
If you absolutely want the new Pro pencil, go for the air. If you need for a heavier workload go for the M2, the pro chip is more than capable and will receive updates for the next 4-5 years, especially with the higher screen refresh on the Pro. I was debating this exact scenario but opted for the M2 Pro and there are opportunities depending where you are to get the M2 Pro for cheaper than the M2 Air (particularly if going with a refurbished model).
