[@sharonb.9128]

Excellent review. Realistic evaluation from an actual iPad USER, not another RUclipsr looking for a MacBook replacement. It’s been very unpleasant watching so called “professionals” trashing a the iPad simply because it’s focused on a different type of creator.

[@christianr.5868]

I’ve been daily driven an iPad Pro for the last 5 years. I love the iPad Pro, I just like apples artificial limitations on it. It’s why I’m also getting a surface pro 11

[@blitonz]

A real reviewer speaking their opinion for once. Every other reviewer is just reading the tech sheet.

[@Stargazer9900]

Right?! I've been quite annoyed with how some of the reviewers repeat back what was mentioned in the apple event. And they don't truly test out the devices. I would just roll my eyes when they mention that the M4 isn't worth it because of ipad Os. Most of them say the exact same thing. It's refreshing to see reviews like this one.

Agreed! An excellent review.

11 inch is really the perfect size for me. It’s nice to see more artists use the 11 instead of the 13. My procreate experience is the same, and I can still get work done in such as comfortable size. Great review.

[@CladioJulianoArt]

I love the 11!

[@bad.chickie66]

I think I’m going for 11 this time too. Perfect size to take everywhere and between mini and 13. Mini felt too small and 12.9/13 too large.

[@Regantdarcy]

I’m an artist too, and also have the 11” iPad Pro. I prefer the 11” size for hold-ability. It feels more like a true tablet. I’m using the 2018 iPad Pro which is still going strong, but may finally be tempted to upgrade for the OLED screen & Apple Pencil Pro. I totally agree about the nano texture screen. I’d get the M4 iPad Pro without it. Much rather have the vibrant color & true blacks of the OLED screen over glare reduction. Plus putting a textured screen protector for a paperlike feel over the nano screen would just make the colors even duller.

100% agree with your thoughts at the end there. I have a professional workflow (mostly Lightroom) on the IPad that works completely different than my MBP, AND I LIKE IT THAT WAY. I don’t want my IPad to be a MBP.
And all these people crying about “just watching RUclips” on it…that’s what a regular IPad or tablet is for. Stop considering “pro” products to do regular stuff on, smh.

[@DrawnToFantasyBertross]

Curious on the size choice. I’ve been using the first gen 12.9” pro. And it’s time to upgrade due to the battery on its way out. It’s not bad to hold for a while on the couch. Is it the portable factor in 1 hand? Also I have my reservations on the oled for long periods of time in Procreate. Might be ok if I use it without the menus when drawing and focus more on the pinch features. Any advice is welcome. Great video

[@CladioJulianoArt]

Well this year they have reduced the weight of both models, and combined with the thinness factor they feel great in hand. The new 13” vs 12.9 is a big difference. The 11” size is something I love to work on for the ultra portability and the extra light factor. As far as which size to go for it’s always been a hard question to answer because everyone is different. The OLED you wouldn’t have to worry about in terms of burn in. Modern OLEDS don’t really have this problem, and with this panel especially you wouldn’t have to worry about it.

[@matthubelart]

Artstudio’s gesture control and customization is so good, I feel like I don’t even need the squeeze function. I still want to upgrade though!

I’m just a hobbyist but the quality of your reviews can’t be missed lol. Looking to improve my art seriously soon and maybe actually use Art studio pro in the future. Right now I just illustrate with basic lines but feel like I would need to learn to “paint” to really take advantage of that app. Painting feels like I need another brain to comprehend colors and blending etc though lol.

[@CladioJulianoArt]

Thanks man! Artstudio Pro is actually awesome for line and ink work too, so you don’t have to be a painter to get a great drawing/sketching/inking experience in it. Definitely worth checking out sometime!

[@ozziesmom9186]

Damn, I ordered mine with the Nano and wish I hadn’t. Great review, thank you!

[@CladioJulianoArt]

I wouldn’t be disheartened. I checked it out in person after the review was filmed , and I was blown away by how good it looked. When I first used it I didn’t even realize it was the nano. Plus you are going to get like no glare at all. If you don’t dig swap it out for regular glass within your 14 days.

[@Pesto-64]

GREAT VIDEO! How much storage did you get? 256gb? 512gb? 1 TB?

[@CladioJulianoArt]

I use 256 and always have, but it depends as well. As you can imagine I have a lot of files when it comes to what I do as an artist/designer, and I do a lot of video too. I am super OCD with file management so I know how to make that work well, and I also have 2TB of cloud storage, and you have external storage options as well. I would say if you travel a lot and plan to download a lot of movies for watching larger storage would be beneficial. I mean larger storage is nice of course, but I have managed to never fill my internal storage up with 256 and my 2TB of cloud storage.

[@freshtangoclothing5428]

Nice review! I bought a 13’’ 1TB version of the new iPad Pro along with the Magic Keyboard but unfortunately I can’t convince myself to keep the keyboard case. It just is so heavy when combined with the iPad and it kills portability especially if I want to bring along my laptop as well. As a full time artist having to remove the iPad from the case and put it bare on a table to draw just doesn’t sit well with me for longevity reasons - I just see it getting scratched quickly. Not to mention the MK is overpriced despite the great build quality.. I decided to return the MK and get the standard folio case and Bluetooth keyboard instead.

[@CladioJulianoArt]

Hope you enjoy!

[@Ryux4x4]

[@Protocolpimp]

Im not buying the experience and use case argument anymore. Give us cli, Xcode and robust file management. That wouldn’t negatively impact the iPad experience at all, but it would greatly improve the experiences of professional developers.

Base

[@quentindecreau]

How are the speakers? I heard they weren’t as good as the M2 model

[@CladioJulianoArt]

I found the speakers to be better. More bass and they sounded much clearer. I directly compared them.

[@williammclean6594]

I bought the base model with 256 gigs. Do you think that's enough? I heard people who got the 1 TB. But they hardly ever use that much space. How much space do you usually use on a n iPad? This will be my first iPad ever so I don't really know

[@CladioJulianoArt]

I’ve always gone 256 and have never filled it up, I’m really OCD with file management and I also have 2TB of cloud storage as well. I think 256 gig is fine, plus you can also use external storage as well.

[@williammclean6594]

@@CladioJulianoArt Okay then I'll be fine then. I already use cloud to begin with and I've been looking at reviews of ssd that attach to the iPad if I need space in the future. I don't even really download games that much. I might stream games from like PS5 or something but I'm not really into phone games anymore. Plus this thing will mostly be used for art. People definitely fall into The storage trap. Apple overcharges a lot for its storage.

[@Everyday-man]

I’ve owned the 256gb iPad Pro for near 5years, it’s on average great and do able. But if you’re like me, I do not like cloud storage. I prefer my stuff onboard within my control. I’ve filled my 256gb a few times, but it depends on your use case. I use my iPad for near everything.
I have tones of PDFs, a few games for reference - CODM & Diablo Immortal are each around 30gb each alone with all the updates. That’s 60gb just with 2 larger games.
Then if you play around with video editing, photo editing too that can make a difference. I personally think 512gb is the best storage option. Gives more breathing room, going away and want to download a TV series or movies so you don’t have to use data. You have that option without needing an external SSD ect.
But 256gb can get you by too tbh, like I said I’ve had 256gb for many years, but I’ll go 512gb. I just wish 512gb had at least 12gb-16gb ram.

[@williammclean6594]

@@Everyday-man yeah I was thinking for more storage but I didn't want to go and invest too much money into this iPad because I've always wanted a bigger screen than 13 in. For me most tablets that I work on are at least 16 in. So in the future if iPad comes out with one that's that big I would trade this in. There were rumors of a bigger iPad about 15 in but they canceled it. Because of complications with the OLED the bigger the screen, the harder it is to make an OLED for it.

[@sreshab2596]

What about the subscription model of software that won't provide much productivity and options like macos

[@CladioJulianoArt]

Like what exactly? Much of the software today including cross platform software for both the iPad, Mac, and Windows are subscription based, and some let you buy the software outright like we do in Artstudio Pro. Procreate is a flat rate, and others use this same model too. What wouldn’t provide much productivity?

Is the Apple Pencil pro better than surface pen 2? Im really doubting about getting iPad og the new surface with the elite chip

[@CladioJulianoArt]

Honestly the Slim Pen 2 is good, it’s not bad. The Pencil is better in my opinion because it has the better pressure curve/intake, better tilt, now has rotation, and it feels like utensil when you use it.

[@SchaufussTV]

Have you tried exporting from Final Cut Pro? Won’t work, and that is supposed to be the “pro” program. Or try to install 3rd party typefaces. While possible it’s cumbersome. I love my new M4 iPad, but iPadOS is still lacking pro features imho.

[@CladioJulianoArt]

I use Luma Fusion so I haven’t, but have you tried exporting while stage manager is activated? Stage manager needs to be on to do this. 3rd party typefaces kind of depends on how it’s implemented. For some apps you can just bulk import all your fonts through the native hard drive, but things like AnyFont and other apps are ok. It does need more work in some areas, why I said it in the video too.

[@SchaufussTV]

@@CladioJulianoArt I just tested FCP in stage manager and it does work. But ONLY if you never leave the workspace with FCP in it and never switches an app to full screen, so basically you are handicapped and forced to only work in small windows while exporting. So not ideal, but thank you for the tip 👍

[@CladioJulianoArt]

@@SchaufussTV In my example I am going in and out of full screen and multi window. I’ll have to check it out with Final Cut.

@@CladioJulianoArt maybe it works with some apps? Just tried with mail and going full screen stops the export.

[@CladioJulianoArt]

Have been using the 11” for many years. Since the first 11. It’s what I prefer, but everyone is different so it’s hard to say. I would say if you do a lot of landscapes or background work you might want the 13”.

11” 20g less doesn’t make difference whatsoever. So this only applies to 13” which is still bit too heavy and big to use comfortably in your hand

It would also show other platforms/ developers that it’s viable. I’d love to see even if it’s only on Pros or M chips is a some more full professional apps.
