When is m4 macbook air is expected to realease ?
Shoud we just buy m3 air or wait for m4 ?
not being able to run macOS apps is the MAIN feature! look at windows touchtops software, it has some gimmicky "touch ready" features if at all, making it completely userless.
android is completely dead in terms of tablets and software.
iPad is the ONLY device and OS in the world which has from the ground up made professional software made specifically for touch.
this is why the iPad is the best computing device in the world if your use case is covered and actually pro software costs way more than the iPad itself.
anyway why isn't it obvious that an iPad costs more than a laptop?
giving the iPad macOS compatibility would be single most dumbest Thing apple could ever do, and they never will do that, they said it clearly and are perfectly aware of why.
but i reepeat it again, NO.
it's just like steve jobs always said, customers have no idea what they want, they see shiny things and completely miss the downsides that come with it.
the way it is it forces developers to go touch first and thats really the killer feature.
iPadOS is replacing macOS, thats whats actually happening.
If it could boot Mac OS, I would use it non stop. Let’s see what happens at WWDC.
For once I am actually looking forward to WWDC, coincidentally around the same time I will be trading in an M2 iPad Pro for the 13" M4 iPad Pro
I think you can do that using utm but older mac os
Yeah, I'm with you but Apple seems to always disappoint.
@@ProjectArjun I really hope they make use of the m2 and m4 power on the iPad to be an alternative laptop with all these prices because then it’ll be best selling and worth it, and also crazy
Samsung make a Dex mode, they don’t have their own OS for their devices…
I prefer the iPad Pro because of its diversity, I love the touchscreen and the option to remove it from the keyboard when watching media,also with app like good notes I love being able to write my notes down while studying instead of just having to type them out
If you need a keyboard for your iPad, it’s a no brainer to get the Mac.
Well, someone like me still needs Apple Pencil at the same time. It is not that easy of a choice.
@@JiajuChen - Sure. If you need the Pencil, It is easy. Get an iPad...
@@JiajuChen If you need Apple Pencil then iPad 😂. What do you want, an all in one device? Just wait until they make a 13 inch iPhone with keyboard and pen support.
@@JiajuChen I find using the iPad like a laptop to be extremely odd. I like how portable the iPad is and I find typing emails and such to be ok with the on screen keyboard. I’d personally choose the pencil over the keyboard.
Can you even develop iPad apps on an iPad?
I mean, the hardware is amazing but as a software developer spending so much money on a device that I could only use to watch RUclips on is kinda silly.
Maybe for other professions is enough, but iPad OS is borderline useless in a "professional" sense for me.
Agreed, can’t run anything on it. If they could only combine the two
Yep, makes me mad tbh. It could be the ultimate computer but they won’t allow it
This^😂😂 I need a terminal
It really is useless, maybe if you are into art and stuff like that it might be pretty good. But apart from that it seems like a $2000 Netflix machine.
The Air is just as useless also.... You really gonna buy the MBA to develop apps on??? All they had to do was put a friggin fan in it to make it a viable option with memory upgrade options... But no... They scam everyone and bundle all that up in the "pro" version, to a cost point, where you will just decide to pay a "little extra" to step up to the Mx Pro chip... Apple is a crappy company that happens to make good products. They crappy thing they do, is create price points on their products & upgrades that make you say, "Screw it! I'll just upgrade to the next model, since upgrading the memory and/or ssd puts me close to the cost of the next step up."
Did anyone else notice the iPad in this video is not the new M4 version. The keyboard was the give away, they changed the hinge with no skin covering it and there are function keys and an aluminium frame on the key bed if you have the M4 version. Also you can't use the old Magic keyboard on the M4 iPad Pro.
I would sell my MacBook Pro once I know that Mac OS is on it.
And in nutshell, that’s exactly the reason why they never will
I’ll but it for 600 bucks
Can we get a headless MacBook Pro with a removable iPad Pro as its display already? When paired they run macOS; when split up the iPad runs “iPadOS Pro” allowing instant file syncing and sharing between the headless Macbookpro and iPad Pro…..
Reading these comments makes me realize I'm so far behind hahahaha
I have no idea what you meant
Never ever had an apple device
If you have only one device, it should be a computer. iPad is a luxury "quality of life" sidekick for ultra portable situations. And in some rare work cases where ultra-portability is king.
Agreed. The price of an iPad isn’t worth it to me but I got one for free which was a blessing.
unless you are a university student. Then, if you could only have one device, it should prolly be the iPad (for notes and powerpoint annotations)
@@Siduch.ipad is useless for programmers
Agreed, and I have BOTH. They are separate tools with separate functions. It’s a must having a full fledged computer.
I had iPad for years before having a MacBook.
crazy how they still have a premium laptop that costs over 1000 dollars and it still has a basic lcd 60 hz screen
It’s not a “basic” lcd. It’s best in class that looks better than many OLED displays
@@chidorirasenganzdid you just say a lcd display looks better than many oled displays? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@chidorirasenganz yea but it still falls behind in comperison to the other oled/mini led displays that you can get within the price range, but you dont buy a mackbook air for its specs rather the real world usability and for that its one of the best. I just wish it started at 16 gb of ram i think thats the only thing that tempers with its real world usability
@@flyingpj it does when compered to low ppi displays with low brightness and color accuracy. For example the lenovo slim 7 can be configured with a pretty bad 1080p oled display with only 380 nits of brightness and it ends up costing just as much as a mackbook air with an m2 chip w/16 gb of ram
short answer. no. long answer. noooooooooo.
Without dual boot Mac OS and while Apple are charging £200 for every measly 256GB SSD upgrade (£100 per 256GB was already outrageous enough) Not a chance this would replace a laptop !
What's the new iPad Pro + Keyboard weight and thickness compared to MacBook Air?
Shocked at the iPad Pro's speaker performance compared to the Macbook Air (which is already better than the vast majority of PC laptops). Be interesting to see if they will be able to maintain that with just 5.1mm.
Nice video. Can you do a comparison between iPad Pro M4 and MacBook Pro M3 Pro around $2.000? I think a lot of us are wondering for this price on iPad should we pick MacBook Pro instead? That’s including Magic Keyboard of course.
Great video, yes the OS on tablet is holding it back. I have a 16 inch m2 max Macbook Pro but sometimes a smaller device without a keyboard would be nice. But I would want them to be fully compatible running the same OS!
Please make a thorough deepdive into comparing 8GB RAM vs 16GB RAM, in particular if iPadOS closes larger games like GRID Autosport etc. Just ordered the 11" 512GB with 5G, through my carrier here in Sweden. 512GB was the highest they sold. Why through carrier? My credit score isnt high enough to get 1TB from other retailers.
Tha hardware was never an issue even with m1/m2
The software is hot garbage and it’s just a very big iPhone to 90% of users
Ah I came to this comment section to view the ignorant comments just like yours. You didn't disappoint.
@@leebeeskeeas an apple engineer I can confirm you that, ios and iPadOS are basically same, a little bit different in user interface, just for the screen size difference. 😂 . I worked on both ios/ipados and macOS.
@@LTS25623so is macOS coming to the iPad Pro anytime soon?
@@ebstmntsure on WWDC next month
@@ebstmnt sorry to say but macOS is absolutely not coming to iPads, at least for next 3 years. There is a chance after that , a touchscreen device with macOS, priced north of 2000 usd.
Thanks Vadim. Which iPad have you bought for yourself (aside from the one you bought for review purposes) ?
The guy probably buys iPad from 2018 for watching Netflix. Most reviewers just return their stuff after review
I have used my M1 12.9" iPad Pro as my primary personal computer since it was released. - Love it! - This might sound silly to some, but I would've been more tempted to upgrade if they offered a larger screen size.
With the M4 chip and the double stacked OLED combo making the iPad Pro thinner... Could this mean then that the next MacBook Pros would also end up being a little thinner...?
(I'm guessing the next MBP would also get the Tandem OLED screen)
I’ve been thinking about getting the MacBook Air, but seeing this screen comparison, it would be such a waste of money. I mean this iPad screen is phenomenal.
Get the M2 man same screen
I just ordered the 13” 512GB. I use it for social stuff mostly and photo editing. I do like the iPad for certain things.
I’m curious about the future of the MAC. iPad is taken more and more space in the market with very good technology
Apple is scared because a IPad Pro with Mac OS would destroy the Mac lineup.
Dude, we'll get M4 on the MacBook in the fall, it's not like it's 10 years behind LMAO 😂
it's the high school and college students who loves iPad will take over after 1-4 decades. The oldies who are used to laptops will die
MacBooks are apparently not selling very well anymore so they probably think if the gave the iPad pros Mac OS lite nobody would buy their laptops. I prefer the MacBooks because of how limited the iPads still are. To me, the sweet spot for iPad pros would be if they had iPad OS but could run MacBook level apps.
iPad is not a laptop replacement because Xcode does not run in iPad. Without the ability to compile code on an iPad makes it a limited system. iPad is a content display device because of this limitation. ONLY IF iPad supported Xcode, would the iPad be competitive with a laptop. This limitation is imposed by Apple's policy. Not by limitations of the hardware.
iPad also doesn't have native Terminal support. You can get an app, but doesn't replace having a native app that doesn't break from time to time
@@davadhexactly
Exactly
can you do a video showing the capabilities of the m4 ipad pro for microsoft office apps, apple pages, wix or some online applications, showing what functionality restrictions compare to a laptop? Lots of us are wondering if we could get by with the ipad pro as a laptop replacement but are unsure of the difference in software. Would be nice to have the ipad pro for its apps but also use excel and powerpoint and word at its full capability
I have an M1 Pro MacBook Pro and I will consider the M4 Pro MacBook Pro. More for the efficiency and to increase RAM. Having 6 efficiency cores will be nice as most of my workload runs on the 2 efficiency cores on my M1 Pro. Still waiting for the iPad mini 7.
How does the OLED screen compare to other OLED screen's, specifically to Samsung's Tab OLED?
Form wat i've seen, It appears the OLED colors might not be as good as other OLED.. please compare. Thanks!
Nice video! I was questioning the M4 iPad Pro verses the M3 Air, so this video was perfect timing.
The dual sided camera on the M4 iPad Pro is nice, but someone could take the picture on their iPhone and air drop it to their M3 Air photo folder. The pen for designers, artists, cartoonists, and architects using (AutoCAD) is a huge plus for those fields. The obvious CPU advantage is for the iPad Pro when doing simple things. Running actual pro web apps is better on the M3. iPad OS is basically iOS on a bigger screen. In summary, only get the iPad Pro if you are in those niche fields. The older iPad or iPad Air are fine for kids and grandparents to binge watch their shows on planes or road trips. The M3 if you need those pro web apps, more RAM, better battery life, and a steady keyboard.
Macs for real work, iPads for casual stuff. Simple! Enjoy them both.
The only reason I can’t enjoy them both on _one single device_ is because Apple doesn’t support macOS dual boot on the iPad. I’m also gonna get an e-reader with the iPad to reduce eye strain when I read e-books.
If they put the tandem OLED into the MacBook Air, then MacBook Air would be better. LCD low refresh rate is just sooooo depreciating for the MacBook Air.
The iPad Pro 13" with a 1TB storage, Apple Pencil Pro, and Magic Keyboard will set you back $2,477.
On the other hand, the 14" MacBook Pro with an M3 Pro chip (11 CPUs and 14 GPUs), 18GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD comes in at $2,199. Oh fo sho, it's not an iPad, but personally, I'd go for the 14" MBP M3 Pro any day. Just saying! 🤭
2600
I will go for MBP too
Honestly I’d go for the iPad Pro. Being able to switch from iPad to macOS, and the portability would get me spending stupid money on that. Like I’d pay £2200 or whatever it is for all the stuff
The 13" iPad Pro I mentioned, with 2 years of AppleCare, comes to $2,646, while the 14" MacBook Pro with the same specs and 3 years of AppleCare totals $2,478. Honestly, given the choice, I’d pick the 14" MacBook Pro any day. 🤭
@@MrAlElmesyeah and enjoy 5 hours of screen time with an iPad battery.
One of the greatest thing about iPad Pro models is that you can lease one via your cellphone carrier.
Still thinking about how different in real-world usage the M4 Ipad Pro will be from my 2021 M1 Ipad Pro...
Hey guys, when you test the new iPad Pros gaming performance can you show some Warzone mobile fps/thermal tests between the binned and full M4 chip ? (If possible the same size)
Can't wait for the awesome content you guys will be doing on these iPads ❤
One thing you don't mention is that you can get cellular 5G connections with the iPad but you can't with the MacBook. So if your working out on the road and need internet connection then go with the iPad whereas you would have to search for a wifi public connection for the MacBook. Also you can spread out the payments for the iPad mobile with your cellular service interest free...can't do that with the macbook.
Do hotspots not exist anymore? They are cheap and cost less than a cellular plan. If you don't have service somewhere with your phone's hotspot you probably won't with cellular either.
Most of the users of the iPad use iPhones.
The hotspot of iPhone is automatically connected by locking the iPad.
Having a windows computer and an 2019 iPad Pro I think the best option would be to buy the M4 iPad Pro, perhaps getting the 13 inch model
The iPad will never replace a computer also no need in getting the iPad unless you needed for drawing/note taking. Don’t listen to this guy he always says to buy the new Apple products
The only reason I can’t enjoy drawing and programming (or “everything you can dream of”) both on _one single device_ is because Apple doesn’t support macOS dual boot on the iPad. I’m also gonna get an e-reader with the iPad to reduce eye strain when I read e-books.
I should’ve just bought a Huawei PC instead of a Mac because they also sell an e-reader-some of my classmates use e-readers for taking notes in class
No MacOS for iPad pro = it will never be better than a macbook.
My Apple Pencil doesn’t work very well when I try to draw on my MacBook screen 🧐
People really don’t get the fact that Ipad Pro = artists.
@@Uomodargillaand students
@@tash22010 Absolutely no need for a pro for a student if he doesn't draw
I prefer the stability of a laptop, regardless. I think the black levels on the MacBook Air 15 are really good, and with no OLED problems.
Is the M3 Pro MBP (Base) a good option to buy right now. Asking because I'm really not sure about the timelines of the M4 Macs.
m3 chips have a security flaw, absolutely wait for the m4
WWDC will determine if I go for a 13 inch iPad m4 or a refurbished discounted m2 iPad Pro
Thanks for the video.
I tried to use the outgoing iPad Pro model as a laptop. I bought the $300 Magic Keyboard and installed the iPad versions of Microsoft Office and other apps I use on my MacBook that are available for the iPad, or iPad apps that substitute for macOS apps I use.
I had a miserable experience, due to limitations of iPadOS and because the iPad versions of desktop software I use aren't that great - they have only a subset of the features of their macOS counterparts and they aren't designed as well. As a result, I rarely use this device any more.
The iPad use cases that work best for me are better on my iPad Mini 6 than on my iPad Pro. They include: taking notes with the Apple Pencil at meetings, and using while traveling - e.g. looking up information about sights, tours, restaurants, museums, etc. You can do all this on a phone, but an iPad Mini's bigger screen is helpful and the Mini is ridiculously easy to travel with.
The iPad Pro is absolutely fantastic for people with certain use cases, and this new version with an OLED display is stunning. But as a laptop replacement for the average laptop user, the iPad Pro is a very expensive step backward.
I’m getting the iPad Pro soon for Christmas or early and im getting the M4 version and a MacBook later
The new iPad looks really nice, but I have an M2 iPad Pro which meets my iPad needs. But I still have a MacBook to use when I have to do "work". I'm really sad that the new pencil and keyboard were not backward compatible. I would have loved to get them for my M2 iPad Pro. I guess I'll just have to stick with the old ones for now.
Where I can Download wallpaper M3 Macbook AIR ? Thanks 😊
I ordered the 13" iPad Pro with nano 1 TB - $2200 plus the keyboard. I'm hoping that this fall they come out with an OS for iPad. I have an M1 16 MacBook Pro fully sped and an M3 14" fully speced out. I've spent a small fortune at Apple. I take my Ipad to meeting, I don't bring my laptop when I travel. I do use it, but I would like to be able to eliminate the need for a laptop.
why nano? will you use it mostly outside in direct sunlight?
@@PSy84 I didn't understand that - I thought it was a better screen
To be honest, if they bring macOS to iPad Pro, I could do without my MBP 16 inch I haven’t used for nearly 2 years now 😂 Looking forward to this as the approach would be more like Microsoft’s Surface Pro and at least it has a full OS on it and not iPadOS. If this change were to happen, definitely buying and iPad Pro else might as well stick to the MacBook.
What if they bring touchscreen and Apple pencil support to the MacBook?
@@davadh well you see I don’t really need a MacBook anymore for my daily tasks, but a full OS on an iPad would be great.
Using office iOS apps for example aren’t fully featured but on the Mac they have all the features.
I think a MacBook with touchscreen would be like my MBP with touch bar, I mostly never used it.
If you need a pencil and a touch device get an iPad if you don’t get a Mac. Asking for macOS on an iPad is the same as asking for touch and a pencil support on a Mac. Apple has designed these devices with this clear separation.
I mean I’m still going for the 13” iPad Air base model WiFi only, anything else is just overkill
If you can just use the iPad on ipadOS if you’re not using a keyboard, and then it will be in macOS when connected to the keyboard, then I am sold. I have the 14” mbp, and even if this is nice, i still want a 2 in 1.
I wonder what comes next. Can chips or computers become much faster?
At this point they should combine the hardware and give the option of having iPad os as a subscription. Having a laptop with Mac os as the base, then if you wish to use it as a real tablet, you can either use iPad os or not as a monthly subscription..
I havent seen the video but the answer is no
😂👌🏼
Of course it can if it has the software and the apps that you require then any phone or tablet can replace your laptop. My MacBook is from 2013 because to be honest most of my computing needs are now performed by my phone (an iPhone mini at that). I Will get an iPad next as my larger computing device because I really don’t currently need a laptop. If I need to do more studying in the future a keyboard and an iPad will work just fine.
Battery life alone makes the MacBook a better buy
@@alexisayirebi-acquah5730when are you ever going to need more than 10hrs?
You’re right, But it has the capability. To become a proper computer, it needs a desktop operating system.
iPad Pro is awesome! I freaking love it! My PC desktop rig does a lot of my heavy lifting, but for everything else I have my iPad.
Windows Desktop PC for gaming, a MacBook Pro for productivity, and a baseline cheap ipad for everything else.
Is there truly a better combo?
But still, no bypass charging affecting the battery all the time using external display
I feel like the speak test is not telling the whole story. Since that is the last gen iPad Pro as the new ones have not come out yet, it will not sound the same as the thinner M4 iPad Pro which will more than likely sound worse than the current model.
Max Tech just so u know, there is a basic tests call ai on example geekbench that make the m4 chip go higher score vs the others bc the cant do that task so to be correct the m4 is around 3-5% faster when u take the ai test out lol
Bought a 15" MacBook air 24gb Ram 1TB storage in April. I am not feeling I made the wrong choice against an iPad pro M4. the iPad pro with16gb ram ,1TB, Pencil and Keyboard would have been nearly NZ$ 1000 more than my air configured MacBook and the peripheral connectivity is worse.
im getting the new m4 with the magic keyboard mainly for content and games. do i go with the 11 inch or 13 inch?
I am replacing my 8 year old iPad Pro with the 11 inch. For me, I like the smaller size. It easier to travel with.
@@kurtmiller3942 are you getting the magic keyboard?
@@kurtmiller3942 are you getting the magic keyboard with it?
I hope Apple releases a Smart Keyboard folio for the M4 iPads. It lacks a trackpad, but it's much cheaper and thinner than the Magic Keyboard while giving you a physical keyboard.
they already did it's on the site, add it to your bag and after that it'll pop up a screen with add ons, one being the smart keyboard portfolio
@@jliefer2484 Great news. thanks.
Seven years in and I’m still not in love with FaceID. Oh it’s really sunny out? Better type in my passcode. Oh, I grew a beard, or am wearing a hat, or sunglasses? Passcode time. If my iPad or iphone is off to the side of me while I work and I just want to unlock the thing? I either need to pick it up and lift it to face level or enter the passcode.
I love just being able to tap the power button and having my MacBook unlock instantly.
I get a lot of people like FaceID. I wouldn’t want it taken away, but just wish we had both options.
I would think at this point someone in the market for a new Mac would wait for the M4s to be released.
Next Level ❤
The MacBook is still the king of all laptops. IPad is just an oversized iPhone.

I think we will not really know how great the new iPads are until we have seen what iPadOS 18 has to offer. Hopefully it will also make all the other m powered iPads even more useful. Right now they are way overpowered for 99% of the use cases and only those who use Software that can utilise the full power potential of the m powered iPads professionally can really benefit fully from the power of the m Powered iPads
I had so many iPads over the years, but I gave up on them a few years ago. For just daily tasks, they are a pain in the neck vs doing the same tasks on a laptop. iPad OS is just iOS on a bigger screen. All that power is wasted when doing something as simple as drag and drop is so painful.
Great video, Max! Thank you for all your info presented in a Streamline manner without all the fluff. Exactly what I needed 👍🏻🫡
Go for a dirty cheap iPad which does practically the same as the super expensive new iPad Pros if you need a tablet. Without massive improvements to iPadOS then the Macbook is more useful and better value device and again go for a cheap model if your work does not need the higher end chips.
Or you could get the pro that would last many many years and have the best of the best for now and it will last for nearly a decade
@@car_tar3882 Agree Apple makes quality hardware that lasts years and is reliable. However Apple also leaves out new features in previous models so if the next chip M5 comes with say MacOS they'd probably not provide that to M4 users. As such until the OS has a massive upgrade, you're better off going cheap and saving that money for when/if Apple do upgrade but only for the new iPads. That's the reasoning also: It gets the job done and avoids that risk spending more. Sure if budget is no problem then splash out on a device that will probably last a long time.
I bought the 12” m2 pro when it came out for like over $1200 and quickly returned it cause I couldn’t justify the price.
Yesterday I bought a baseline iPad 10 64gig and I love it. In my opinion most people don’t need the pros or even the air in most cases.
Really depends on what you _need_ a "laptop" to do or be.
Cause before m1 with mba's, you knew you werent trying to do anything demanding. But you were ok with that and they worked fine to do "basic" computing tasks and media consumption. So that, but with ipads. If your uses arent that deep (ignoring money) an ipad would be fine and _might_ be the better laptop.
Portability, convenience, app support, cellular, camera. Theres benefits to an ipad even if youre not an ipad workflow content creator/editor or artist/student.
But if money is an issue or you can only have one device outside of your phone to handle any situation, a mac is the clear choice. It will handle every task because of how "open" mac os is.
The limits of a desktop experience vs the ipad experience isnt comparable. And macbooks as a complete package is often times cheaper than buying an ipad and all its accessories to be a "complete" laptop.
Even the 14" MBP is cheaper, and has the pro screen & speakers, and has a real OS that doesn't hide the file system from you
If they can fit face id into the new thin ipads, can't they fit it into the macbook??
No
I think the one thing that everyone is forgetting is that these operating systems require vastly different user interactions.
Having Mac run apps on an iPad will cripple the experience (and if there is one thing that Apple *prizes more than privacy is user experience).
Everyone that thinks that there should be a dual boot MacOS/iPadOS are not taking into account the fact that as soon as they boot into the MacOS side, they’re gonna be pissed when they touch the screen and nothing happens. MacOS interactions are based mouse clicks, so that means developers are going have to create two versions of the apps to run universally *anyways* : one for multitouch interface, and one for mouse click interface. That’s a lot of work!
Y’all are thinking that this is an easy thing to achieve.
You make a good point here. I’d imagine that most people want the MacOS apps, not particularly the MacOS. Apple could help developers by making it easier to port Mac Apps over to these powerful iPads, in the UI department as you said.
Well we can translate touch into mouse clicks like how windows 11 handles it on surface devices
@@HariKrishna-hp7tu true, but Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines are pretty strict on the experiences for each OS, specifically for Ergonomics, Inputs, App Interactions, etc. All those things would have to be re-thought, from the ground up (in true fashion). And that’s not going to happen anytime soon. And again, that’s not easy to do.
I worked for a startup that was only about 50 people, and when we had to make a decision, we had to think about all of the use cases. And when it came to our core app functionality, we needed to focus on edge cases too. It took months. Now if I extrapolate, the amount of people at (designers, engineers, PMs, QA, managers, let alone the e-suite) that would be involved in something like redesigning the inputs and app interactions for a dual-boot OS, or, guidelines for universal app UI - would take years to get approved.

My must have iPadOS updates for me to upgrade from 1TB 2018 12,9" iPad Pro to new iPad Pro:
1) Multiple users support
2) Finder improvements
3) Ability to easily back up stuff to/from iPhone
One can wish, right?
Another one that I’m looking for is the ability to play multiple audio/video sources at once. One of my favourite things that I like to do on the Mac.
@@peraman2022 well, guess there is a sort of workaround for this one. To turn on one of the videos on the iPhone)
But yeah - it seems like there is only one active source of audio on iOS / iPadOS, unless you are streaming something via Airplay. This actually makes sense to me.
But I get it - sometimes on a Mac one video might play with low volume just for some hints, meanwhile another one is load and clear.
I don’t think it’s correct that there are MacOS programs we can’t get on the iPad, but iPad apps can all run on macOS. There are lots of IPad apps that aren’t available on MacOS and vice versa.
It’s mainly a question for developers. They have to date preferred to develop for MacOS. That might now change if there is a greater customer switch to the iPad, and the development process is quicker and easier.
I´ve always considered the iPad as a complement to Mac laptops but I don't rely to it as my main machine
Why don’t you just advise your audience to wait and see what WWDC brings before making a purchase decision?
I mean, the debates about MacOS on Ipad are here since first Ipad pro and intensified after M1 Ipads. Since that every year they look with hopes for next WWDC…but it was always just a wet dream, nothing else. For Apple it has zero sense to make Ipad compete with their other devices. The point is to sell you Ipad AND Mac, not single one universal device. Same discussion about MacOS on Ipad will be held at release of Ipad Pro 50th gen…
@@martinsurovy427 yeah but still, given that it’s barely a month away, it would be wise to wait. It’s not like it’s a pacemaker or something & we’ll die without immediately getting it.
This reminds me a little of the issues that Microsoft had with Windows RT or Windows on ARM. User of Microsoft Windows OS aren’t very welcoming to the idea of not being able to run the old x86 software on Windows. Likewise iPad users aren’t necessarily receptive to a powerful iPad that can’t run MacOS software. Microsoft had a legitimate excuse due to the architecture differences. Apple on the other hand is literally using the same chips in both product lines ie no excuse.
В Антуту уже затестили м4, в сравнении с м2 по CPU действительно +50%, а вот по GPU только +15% в 3D нагрузке. В принципе, на презентации ведь сказали «GPU до 4х раз мощнее чем в м2», так что за руку не поймаешь. Но я как владелец iPad на м2 немного выдохнул
We’re paying a “premium” to have a “laptop” with a touchscreen and all the benefits that come with that (drawing, handwriting, touch…) If you don’t want those benefits of touch, then you can buy a standard non-touch laptop for a cheaper price.
The MacOs v iPadOS debate is rather circular so it doesn’t really come into the pricing. It’s the additional functionality of the hardware that leads in the price difference.
One of my favorite things about my iPad Pro is the speakers
I’ve had an M2 IPad Pro 12.9 with Magic Keyboard since it came out and I’ve rarely used laptops since.
I also have an M3 Pro 14” inch and in regards to a user experience for anything that both can do, the iPad blows the MacBook out of the water IMO. The display’s colors also seem better on iPad 12.9 M2 vs my M3 Pro Mac Book.
I use my MacBook 99.9% of the time in ClamShell mode connected to a ProDisplay. So it’s pretty much my Desktop unless for the rare occasion, I need it on the go.
Unless someone has a specific use case that the iPad can’t do as per OS then I would never recommend using the laptop over the iPad ever again. The Magic Keyboard’s touch pad is the best I’ve ever used. Even better than the separate Magic Touch Pad accessory for my MacBook Pro.
Of course, this is all my opinion. And I do love using my MacBook when I need to =)
Heck, Apple just knows how to build software and hardware all around!
It seems like base M4 is about the same perfrmance as M3 Pro. Can't wait for new Macbooks. BTW so Apple is able to make screen without notch and with FaceId, sadly no chance that happening anytime soon for macbooks.
I’m expecting a big WWDC. No way they would release such a powerhouse tablet before hand!
I’d get an m3 MacBook Pro for now and see if they announce anything at wwdc for iPad os that would convince me an iPad is better than a MacBook Pro. Until then I can’t justify having to purchase a whole keyboard that makes the price higher than a MacBook Pro that comes with pro motion and a built in keyboard
you are not showing us a M4 ipad pro on your desk
i believe at wwdc they are going to make ipad pro a touchscreen mac with a mode like dex to convert to mac os
I’m so frustrated.
I want a Macbook more than an iPad, but I know there is so much versatility with that. Better to enjoy content, play games, and just an all around entertainment hub, while also allowing you to be productive at a lesser rate because of its OS.
I still think the Macbook is the better product to own first and to keep long term. The iPad could be bought later at better discounts, or even refurbished/pre-owned and not feel like you’re losing out on anything.
Until and unless its not a full fledged laptop app support its just an big iphone
S 24 plus vs iphone 15 pro ,please❤❤❤❤
The screen is the big killer for me. For content consumption the iPad is night and day better. Then you can get an Apple Pencil to do so many creative things. This is perfect for artists and even some creatives.
5:20 If Apple gives us bypass charging, that wont be an issue. Or at least let us have the 80% max charge limit from iPhone 15 line
I’m not falling for it again. Had an iPad Pro last year, and the battery life was awful. There were so many features from MacBook that I missed. Not doing that again.
Getting a MacBook for what I need mainly when I need to or and a base level iPad for anything touchscreen related with sidecar.
Is that an m2 iapd pro or an m4? The speaker test is why i ask
This is an older iPad you are showing. I'm forced to report this video as misinformation. I'm sorry b
M3max vs M4. Did everyone forget about the M3 pro M3max chips?
I’m not surprised it’s $1300
I paid over 2k for mine. Its insane
What’s better is up to everyone’s needs. For me it’s better to have a Macbook Air and my old iPad Pro 2020 to do all the iPad things. 😉
People keep forgetting that Mac’s got the IPad chip, not the other way around. IPadOs will eventually get its own computer operating system, redesigned from the ground up.(for light task) However, right now its not to much market competition from arm or Qualcomm in regard to windows based tablets. Apple still leads the tablet market. Not to mention how many tablets they push out through service providers: if they go through with a MacoS they will have to get Qualcomm on board to support for MacOS, which could be a headache. Instead they will likely build IPadOS from the ground up. Which is already on the backbone of a touchscreen interface. Apple is just dragging but it will come eventually.
