Crazy to think how almost a decade ago, you were one of the most enthusiastic iPad users I watched on RUclips. Now you have become arguably the most jaded RUclipsr when it comes to iPads. You’ve essentially reached the end of your iPad story arc lol
I changed cause the iPad didn't
@@TailosiveTech that’s a really good summation of your story with the iPad ngl
At the end of the week (It’s Friday:) most tech and really many things are all in the eye of the one holding the product. The ipad pro is for a small niche anyways. on top of that if you are a creative using it there are some really usable features. That said it’s not for most people. Just like the mac book air which is probably for 90% of users the ipad regular? is for most people. If you truly want a tablet that is a true computer then get a windows touch screen computer. This is not super complicated. The person on here is stating an opinion and he is entilted to it. At least he is not like that Greg Gadget guy that literally does the same 4. ideos when an apple product comes out. I get that is his livelihood but at least say at the beginning. “Thanks for watching and this is the same stitck but at least watch through the first commercial”.
@@roguewavecreativethose are more useful videos that the reviews that pretty much just say what the iPads are.
@@TailosiveTechthe iPad is for the new generation of creators who only know touch screen phones
To celebrate the launch of the M4 iPad Pro I bought a used (third party refurbished on eBay) M1 iPad Pro for half the price with double the storage and cellular
Edit: Just received it and the seller actually sent me an M2 iPad Pro! I hit the jackpot with this
Nice!
slap the m4 wallpaper on it
That’s nice and best of all. You have a sim tray. That’s why I’m holding on to my M1 and maybe if silly enough would upgrade to an M2 Pro (refurbished).
I live in Europe so travelling to different countries happens often and the ability to have a separate sim is appreciated.
Actually I don’t know why anyone would buy the M2 Air instead of a refurb M2 pro.
@@RemofRenaissance I did. Trade in old budget iPad plus gift card. Got M2 iPad Air for less than half.
@@elizbeth8659sounds like a good upgrade and a sustainable one! 👍🏾
6:32 As much as I respect Drew’s opinion.
I don’t think this guy can call himself an Apple sheep anymore.
Now he’s just a sheep.
I follow... but I don't listen
Is that supposed to be something bad? 😅
I don’t even know what this channel is anymore
he grew up. understand you don't need to buy everything a Corpo sells. this is a wiser mentality
Watching the event introducing the new iPads, I rolled my eyes every time they said how thin it was. "Yes, I get it! it's thin! I don't care!"
Today I brought my new 2024 iPad Pro home. The first thing I thought pulling it out of the box was, "Wow. That really is thin."
I think I care more about the weight. I don’t think iPads are heavy but any reduction in weight it feels immediately.
my old iPad Pro are thin as well … 😂😂😂 ohhh ….not like the new one , I guess it worth 1500$ for slightly thinner I pad on my lap 😂😂😂
@@manart6506 It is surprisingly light as well.
Agree, but a tech channel makes a video about “Why I’m not reviewing”. Not reviewing means not even trying. Sounds nonsense to me.
The Apps I use on my iPad are:
At work:
Microsoft Teams
The preview app with either Outlook or OneDrive to get the file onto my iPad for siging documents with the Apple Pencil
Outside of work but doing work-stuff:
ocassionally Microsoft Remote Desktop, that essentially gives me Windows on my iPad
Outside of work and doing non-work stuff:
RUclips
Safari
Mail (I have work email on Outlook and personal email on the Apple mail app)
Calendar
Banking apps
Face Time
Messages (Work stuff is on Teams, personal stuff is on the Apple calling and messaging apps)
I use the focus settings to disable notifications on Teams and Outlook outside working hours.
An A14 does not struggle in any way to do any of that, and in fact Safari on that is still quite a bit faster than anything you are likely to find on non-Apple silicon. The M4 may will reduce response times from something like 10ms to 3ms, but I'm not really going to notice.
From a personal perspective, in recent years I’ve been using the iPad as a light travel station to run Adobe Lightroom and a book reader (although I mostly use the iPad Mini for that). I don’t care about using it to consume video content, that’s what the Apple TV is for. As such I’ll keep on using my M1 iPad Pro for now.
Good call
I never see RUclips in other place that isn’t a big tv. iPad for me it’s primarily for art or photo/video editing. I am always interested in iPad for production features.
@@TailosiveTechYou already done the review in the video of the M4 iPad Pro for now. Just saved us the time for the boring stuff.
I agree a lot! The saturation with thr reviews has been crazy. The worst things is that everyone talks about the same stuff, same specs, in the same style, reaching the same conclusion. I personally love these new iPads, but the 100 reviews that I’ve seen. They are literal copies of each others
I will watch the reviews but certainly they don’t go deep in their reviews otherwise those wouldn’t be that similar. Most of the reviewers are of RUclipsr tech info in profession… it is nice to see reviews of other kind of RUclipsrs.
I like you non-review iPad review. I honestly appreciate it.
I’m new to Apple and iPads. Found your channel after the M4 announcement and loved your honest take. So, I got the M4 Pro, and after trying it, I compared it to the Air at an Apple Store. Both are similar, but the M4 Pro’s response time in Procreate is way better. It’s like flying first class. Totally worth. If you’re an artist, the M4 Pro is worth the extra cost for its smooth performance. If you’re not an artist, skip it. If you're an artist on a budget, save up-this is a game-changer for creating art.
I know this sounds biased, but I never understood why non-artists gripe about iPads. Just get that it’s NOT MADE FOR YOU and call it a day!
According to Steve Jobs, It’s a bicycle for Artists not a truck for everyone else
I guess no one believed him 🤷🏾
Personally I still use the 2018 iPad Pro (11 inches, 512GB Cellular) with A12X, and I still see no point in upgrading
Originally I sold my M1 iPad Pro waiting for "the M3 iPad Pro". That happened on March, and since then I've been without an iPad and didn't miss it at all. The brand new one only noticeable difference is the OLED screen. Appart from that, I agree with you that just an iPhone and Macbook is more than enough for the daily basis this days.
Oled is the only thing I was waiting to update so that would have been enough for me… but new pencil and M4, that’s great too.
@@manart6506 the iPad is better than ever, and I’m still considering getting mine only if WWDC gives me valid reasons to get one.
If I was gonna buy an iPad, do you think I should wait to see what iPadOS 18 brings because do you think all the features will work on an old iPad Pro with M2 chip? Or do you think the iPadOS 18 features? Not all of them will work just wondering.
I mean it makes complete sense, i have the M1 12.9 inch iPad Pro with mini LED and ever since i finished University with it its nothing more than just another option i use when i dont want to use my iphone, i love the screen, i love the Magic Keyboard as expensive as it is, but its just a really nice looking ipad. I really really really hope iPadOS 18 has something up its sleeve but again based off of years past i dont really think its going to really happen, even though this is the best time as any to introduce macOS features, seeing as how every ipad excluding the 10th gen and mini, have M series Chips, fingers crossed but im not holding my breath or anything
People ask why you should use an iPad if you have a phone. I say an iPad is larger, offers a much better experience, and is obviously better for your long-term eye health. Also, the attached keyboard, when needed, will make you significantly more productive than on a phone.
Currently rocking the 2018 iPad Pro 12.9. My decision to upgrade this year depends entirely on the functionality of iPadOS 18. Will Apple finally take off the training wheels? I hope so but remain doubtful.
Apple did a round of interviews. Not only did they reiterate that macOS in any form is NOT coming at WWDC 2024, but they also confirmed they have ZERO plans for it to ever come. They said the main reason is the iPad is complementary not a replacement, i.e. why compete against your own products?
An ex-CEO of MS also did an interview and agreed that Apple would be dumb to allow macOS on iPads. He cited the dumpster-diving failure of Windows 8 and MS's missed opportunity to have a tablet business. They did the hybrid thingy, and it was an utter fail, and he would wonder why anyone would want to make that same mistake.
@@andyH_England i agree, macOS should not come to the iPad but more functionality definitely should. Features like a proper file manager and terminal, the ability to format external drives, etc.
iSeen this coming
😂
I appreciate not creating click bait while trying to call it ‘information’. I’ve watched about ten RUclipsrs seemingly getting off on peeling the tab off of a box rather than explaining why a fully spacced 13” iPad Pro $3,000 still comes only with WiFi6E in 2024.
Best display I’ve ever seen on a consumer electronic that can be held in one’s hand. I had to be a sheep on this one. Now my only regret is not getting a cellular model which I think I’m gonna do
I tried the new iPad 11 inch pro M4 and returning it today. Will go back to the mini iPad 6. Much better iPad experience. The OLED did not make much difference to me.
This makes me feel better that I’m sticking with my m2 11 inch iPad Pro with its magic keyboard and 2nd gen iPad Pro.
@@melindagallegan5093 yes. No need to upgrade.
It sounds like you would’ve just been better off spending an hour or so at the Apple Store playing around with it rather than purchasing it and then returning it
@@sammyjammy6647 yes. I should have.
Good for you, that’s what the return policy is for. You gave it a shot and it wasn’t worth it for your use case, but at least you know
I applaud you for not rushing out and reviewing this IPad !! The other other 10000 other channels saying the same thing will do that I bet a lot of them take it back also
The meme about apple calculator is universal and epic^^
I'm not so sure the design incompatibilities were avoidable. It wasn't just that the iPad was thinner; they also needed to accommodate the new position of the front facing camera, which I think people who use it for Zoom will appreciate. This isn't the first time older accessories were incompatible with the newer device. The Pencil 1 doesn't work with the usb-c iPads, and the Pencil doesn't work with the lighting iPads. I don't object if once in every 6 years or so, there are design changes like this; and I'm happy if they do them all at once.
If you are someone who cares about what iPad to get and don’t understand why you either get the base cause you’re not an artist and you get a pro because you are an artist, then there’s no point in trying to hammer the point in.
I love my iPad as a laptop replacement but there’s nothing to say about them. Just buy the cheap one’s second storage tier or buy the pro if you’re an artist. There’s nothing else to it than that
True. Its massive success, one of the biggest in the history of tech releases, was that it was designed to be a tablet, not a desktop OS with a Touch UI. Over 600 million are sold, and many people love iPads or Android tablets. Why on earth change for change sake; it just works.
I swear the faces you make during your sketches are just freaking hilarious! 😂
Yeah I think that’s perfectly reasonable. On the other side I’ll be waiting your opinion on the upcoming iPad OS.. hopefully we will get something worthy.
*10% processor improvement for MacBook Pro*
Drew: makes 3 videos
*biggest hardware change to iPad Pro and Apple Pencil in over half a decade*
Drew: PASS
As with most RUclipsrs / video editors, Drew doesn’t get the iPad and doesn’t want to get the iPad
I find it interesting that you say that about the iPad. I don’t think you’d say the same about the iPhone, though. When the new iPhone 16 comes out, there will still be reviews on it, even though we know there will be little to no changes compared to the iPhone 15. I’m not defending the iPad; I agree that there are literally only two changes compared to the previous models.
I wanna be able to say:What’s A Computer? This new one isn’t there yet
Eat Y'Self Fitter!
as someone who still uses his iPad Air without even M1 chip, I totally get your point. For what I use an iPad for (second screen for RUclips while working on the Mac/reading/doodling) I don't need anything else... also the pencil not being compatible is a downer!
Making it thinner isn’t really a design change for me. They didn’t even make the bezels thinner. I’ll stick with my 2021 iPad Pro. Still works great and does everything I need it to do.
I'm a math instructor who uses my iPad hours every day at work as a virtual whiteboard, and for writing and marking up exams. It has been fantastic for me for that purpose. Sure, it's been fine for that for years. But I'm good with incremental updates. I don't upgrade every generation, so I get a cumulative effect. I just upgraded from my 2018 12.9" pro to the M4 13" pro. I like the nicer screen, it feels a lot snappier (which I did not expect), and I'm looking forward to trying out the functionality of the new pencil. Sure, it might be neat if it dual booted to Mac OS, but I honestly can't complain.
There is no a17 pro
@@Cotelw8345 Thank you for the correction. I'll fix the post.
Well, my iPad is from 2018 so this new one would be a very big improvement for me. ESPECIALLY for Zbrush. That's what I'm most excited for. From the first time I touched an iPad, I wanted Zbrush on it. I tried streaming it on my iPad and everything, but it's bad. Especially with this desktop UI. So yeah, I need an upgrade and I will also need the performance and RAM of the 1TB model, only for Zbrush and that's it, that's what makes it worth for me at least.
In the meanwhile Nomad sculpt is great.
Hey Drew, This video was great and on point. Even though it’s not the greatest topic and I am fully with you.
I have bought the iPad Pro with M1 in August in 2021 (as a present for my 18. bd) like many other and the hype around this incredible tool was horrendes.
I am an Hobby Artist and architecture student, its a hell lot of a joy to draw on it but it only is great for me because i likely get the (not as much as maybee with my mbpro, m3pro) howl potential.
120hz, double tab and so on, but i am so vastly mad that they do not give us the possibility to use the Apple pencil pro on older devices, just because of the slightly moved charging port. I wish i could use it but i do not see the reason to pay even more for the same product with nearly 80-90% similarities.
It’s such a great tool in a unmatched package but because apple wants ypu to buy everything from them they are not able to make it more powerful.
Keep in mind you better should have something with the M4 chip in it in time for Dub-Dub when Apple reveals its AI game.
I respect your views on the new IPad. I respectfully disagree
I never had an iPad, because I never felt the need of a tablet in my life, but last year I got into digital drawing and I decided to buy an iPad when the new ones would lunch. So here we are, and apparently people aren't very excited about the new iPads because they already have one that does it's job well. But I wonder .. if they wouldn't have an old one .. with old accessories .. would they go for the new one or would buy an older one . .considering futureproofing too ofc?
If iPadOS 18 really has some new things to show, maybe you could buy the "cheapest iPad you can find" and review the software on that iPad to show that the hardware is not limiting even when using an old/cheap iPad
Making it thinner actually made me want one less. Why not keep the thickness but add a bigger battery!?
I have an m1 iPad Pro (only to test Final Cut Pro) and I see 0 reasons to upgrade.
I don’t think that complaint I hear from some reviewers take into consideration that keeping the old dimensions (or bigger) of the device will NOT give us a bigger battery.
Apple usually don’t put more battery capacity on the devices but rather they keep the same limit and try to make the chips more battery efficient. I only worry about being fragile or I’m how it may affect the heat with intensive tasks like 3D sculpting (maybe being thin even helps with that).
@@manart6506yeah it’s the apple way. I’m just saying the SHOULD give us more battery.
This is a really cool video when you think about it. He was still able to get a video out of a new product without having it. RUclipsrs take note. Especially new ones
FANTASTIC REVIEW OF THE MAIN ISSUES👌🏼THAT REFLECT USABILITY AND FUNCTIONALITY
The iPad just isn't powerful enough to expand the OS to a complete - full-featured computing experience. And by 'powerful', I, of course, mean... profitable. Until Apple can charge for a single iPad what they make from selling you an iPad AND a MacBook, there's little incentive - people seem to love the fancy-looking streaming consumption devices.
I was suckered in by the same thing, "oh this thing is so portable, and my work use-cases aren't so complex, surely the iPad will be enough as my daily diver. Nope. My experience with my 13in M2 iPad Pro can be summed up as, "I'm so glad iPadOS requires 2-3 extra steps or workarounds for the same thing MacOS can do in a single click."
I find myself ditching the iPad for my old 2017 13in MacBook Pro (with like, a fraction of the raw performance) at least half of the time because of something the iPad can't/won't do.
Is the crowd that essentially wants a Microsoft Surface, with Apple Silicon and MacOS so small?
I lost it when you said, 'We removed the 5th microphone, which makes it harder to snap in half!' Oh my God, Drew, I'm on the floor! I'm dying, bro! 😂 0:17 LMFAO
I saw your tweet about "Mac or iPad" and I knew that considering you sold your iPad already that buying another one would be pointless for you
This is just my opinion, maybe using davinci resolve iPad version might be hard, but for me using Lumafusion is a joy but its also build with tablets in mind (for touchscreens)
Yeah I’m the target audience for the iPad Pro. I’m a graphic designer and comic book artist and I’m still rocking the 2018 iPad Pro.
I wasn’t really planning on upgrading just yet, but if they had put macOS on the iPad Pro. I would had definitely pull the plug and got one.
We still got WWDC coming next month, I’m sure we will get some great features in iPadOS but I doubt it will still be enough to satisfy that itch lol.
And I do agree with the Apple Pencil. They should had figure out how to make the Apple Pencil 2 work on it. Like I don’t mind that the Pro doesn’t work on the previous iPads but 2 should had worked on the the newest iPads too.
I considered upgrading because the iPadOS 17.4 nerfed my battery. It’s an older device but the battery wasn’t too bad until the update.
My iPad pro 12.9 2018 isn’t compatible with the new accessories or vice versa, this is what deterred me from the M2 Air 13” and the M4 Pro is the price of a MacBook. Ridiculous. I decided to get a new battery instead since the iPadOS 17.4 nerfed my battery.
However, if Apple lets us use the M4’s real power in the future, then I would consider upgrading.
The most interesting part from the iPad event is that we are finally getting a pro camera app
I noticed a lot of the other channels are not comparing the mini led ones to the new ones. I doubt there is a huge difference. That is why.
There is definitely a difference
Because you aren’t reviewing the new iPads.
I am getting the new iPad Pro - but only because my 2018 iPad Pro only has 64 GB of storage. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure I could have kept her for another 2, 3 years. What a great year 2018 was.
Do you expect iPadOS 18 to be a significant update?
well, their dilemma was……customers wanted the landscape Face ID / front camera position. this created an issue for the charging mechanism for the Apple Pencil 2…which sucks, but there’s nowhere else to place the charging area without compromising anything. thus the Apple Pencil Pro….in all actuality….Apple Pencil Pro…really should’ve been the Apple Pencil 3…but, without it being able to work with the previous generations….i assume that’s why they went with the “Pro” naming. idk….i’m a no one. lol.
I agree with you about iPads should have the option to run MacOS, especially the M series iPads. and the year on year upgrades probably aren't worth upgrading each time. I've just upgraded my Apple kit; went from an Intel Macbook pro from 2013 to a M3 Pro Macbook Pro and from an iPad 2 to an M4 iPad Pro; I noticed a massive performance jump! Apple kit has the potential to stay usable for so long there is no need for yearly upgrades. Keep the skits and I'll keep watching....
I keep asking WHAT can’t you do on the IPAD. Please tell me. I bought a MacBook Pro a few months ago after years of hearing it does so much more. I can’t find it….. I LOVE my new iPad after waiting for years. So worth it. AGAIN what will it not do. I seriously want to know.
I use it for drawing, animation, video editing, 3D sculpting and hard modeling, edit photos… and to enjoy what I create with it (RUclips and streaming I prefer in my TV).
About MacBook features… I only want iPad being able to format drives… that surely doesn’t even require much power and I don’t need all MacOS on iPad for that.
Thank you 2 for giving your thoughts. It. Just seems to be a comment being said but is empty.
@@manart6506 Apple sees the iPad Pro as complementary, so it assumes you already have a Mac for formatting drives. I have a seven-year-old Macbook that can do those things, but I usually use an iPad.
I never had an iPad pro and may never have one. iPads (to me) have always been consumption devices. Nothing stands out except a few “pro” apps, so I went with the reduced price iPad 10th gen even upgrading from the 9th gen for alot of features I wanted but didn’t want to pay 1000 for. I am sure there are use cases for the iPad Pro, I don’t have one of them. I guess the OS is holdingit back… I think you have every right to not review something you don’t want to.
OLED alone is a reason for upgrade, especially if you use it for content consumption, and watching movies
I have the 2018 iPad Pro and I’ve yet to see a reason to upgrade it. I didn’t do the M1, M2, and I won’t do the M4. Until they make iPadOS more functional, I’m going to keep what I have until Apple no longer supports it.
I feel like iPadOS needs a ‘Pro Mode’ where it goes from iOS familiarity that your granny would use to a fully fledged badass pro version where multitasking is actually worth doing, a secret extra usb/sd card slot becomes available and we finally get this elusive iPadOS we’ve all been waiting for for over a decade.
the new magic keyboard not being backwards compatible yet having the same design as the old one is really rubbing me the wrong way. I have an m1 ipad pro and was waiting for a better keyboard case. when they use the same design but make it not usable for the other ipad pros it really seems like more of a money grab.
Outstanding content as always 👍😎
I'm going to be honest - as a long-term iPad pro user the new keyboard is a game changer, and for some reason the software works so much better and smoother than my past iPad. I am HUGE on Apple updating the OS to enhance the iPad's usability, but it is legitimately better.
The funny thing is as a long time iPad Pro user I never had the desire to buy a keyboard for it. The idea of the iPad is to use it as a touch based device! You loose the biggest advantage with a keyboard and turn the thin and light iPad into a fat and heavy second class laptop.
If I need a keyboard I use my MacBook....
@@simpromovie The advantage will only be seen if you actually buy the keyboard. It makes a great tablet better and far more productive. I still have a Macbook, but for most of the groundwork, I can now use my iPad and use my Mac to tidy stuff up and do stuff iPadOS was not designed for.
5:51 He cut me deep when he said: your new iPad I hope its more than just a Netflix machine. 😢 That is all i want the 13" iPad pro for.
Just bought the new ipad for my wife as soon the price dropped to 349.00, Drew is right this is the best ipad to get
If people are upset when you return devices you dont plan to keep, maybe do a giveaway? Give it randomly to one of your premium subscribers, you would probably get more premium subscribers to cover the costs too.
I am sure he would have been sent an iPad back in the day, but his negativity is so disproportionate to any reality field that I cannot blame Apple for crossing him off their early loan products. We want balanced reviews, not negative reviews based on one narrow personal desire (macOS on iPads).
I totally agree and understand how you feel. I feel the same way.
It's funny how this super basic Apple iPad event seemingly birthed hundreds of new RUclipsrs saying the same thing about this bland spec bump. Sure...the device is thin, but so are the reasons to get one.
This is the state of tech, with smartphones, laptops and tablets being mature. I am not sure what you are expecting, and I think Apple is doing everything right; for me, some people have too high expectations, having grown up with fast innovation. They now expect this to be the par for the course, but the reality is that iPads and Tab S Ultra will, in 20 years, still fundamentally be the same as they are now. Admire them for how great they are and how lucky you are to be in these times.
In my journey as an Apple user for 5 years now, one of the things that has irritated me the most is features on new devices that don'e filter down over time to previous devices that could run them. If your heart isn't in it Drew, don't do it.
Disappointed iPad Pro
That should include:
- Mag Safe
- Weather Sealed
- 3 Camera Lenses
- Pencil 3 with Eraser feature
- M Pro/Ultra Chip
- Extended Battery Life
- Durable Design
The tech in the IPad has outstripped the OS. Apple is standing still on this and giving the competition a chance to destroy them. Luckily for Apple the competition tends to suck also!
New stuff is nice and you can be excited but than, when the rush is over it’s just an iPad. Slimmer, yeah but well, I still rock my M1 Pro 12.9 am 13(!)“😂
The only thing which might make me buying a new iPad is to size down and for having the camera in the right position. If software will change, well, as you said, that’s a completely new and different discussion 😊🙏🏻
It's one thing at the new iPad can't charge the new pens and vice versa but is it really true that the digitizer won't even connect? I don't see any reason why that should be the case. Could use a surface pen or an s pen from a decade ago. Obviously a Galaxy tab S9 can't charge your s pen from the Note 9 or something but they work interchangeably in terms of the digitizer.
Likewise with any product that uses a surface pen or Microsoft protocol for stylus. Example is the surface duo2 worked with a slim pen but it had no way of charging it.
You have to buy a separate charger or already own a surface device. But at least make the digitizer recognize it. I mean that where someone happens to own two iPads? I know it's not a practical use case but it would be nice to know if you're brand new iPad pro OLED broke you could still use your propane on your older iPad.
Anyway I appreciate you subjecting us to these copy and paste embargo reviews.
Forgive me if I've made a similar comment on the past videos. Hard to keep track because as you mentioned there's so many iPad reviews
hot take but given its a crazy thin slab of flatttttt, playing with them in the apple store I think its massively lacking in ergonomics, especially for the drawing scenario they pushed heavily.
Ive never met someone who hates ipads as much as you do. Personally i love the ipad pros, still have the 12.9 inch M1. I almost never use my iphone anymore because of it (like unless im outside the house) it can also do a decent amount of computer stuff and functions as a great TV screen because i dont like having a tv in the house.
I highly respect your decision
Great video and by comparison the i-pad I have now gets me where i want to go.
I bought an m1 2TB, 16GB RAM for $720, on iPadOS 16.3.1, so I have UTM that virtualises Linux at full speed. It virtualises windows 11 too but the graphics are slow
My cards are all on the table for iPadOS 18 being a major breakthrough and upgrade. Make it so you can run Mac apps or Ai features that make the new ones worth it.
I will never expect iPad to run macOS but iPads versions of some popular apps (ZBrush coming!) that don’t feel capped would be welcomed.
I don’t need MacOS but iPad needs to do some simple tasks (don’t even require much CPU power) like formatting drives.
Apple did an interview so people knew what to expect at WWDC 2024 after last year's overhype by the YT creators. They reiterated that macOS is NOT coming this year or anytime in the medium term. In fact, they implied that macOS will NEVER come to iPads, which has never been the plan. Best for you to ignore clickbait creators who keep pressing for this, knowing that it will never happen.
I would order it closer to whatever they have prepped for WWDC just in case they announce something insane, if not, return it as usual. Hell, don't even publish a review unless something insane *does* get announced.
I remember when tablets were supposed to replace laptops.
Saw one at a store today (I own and use an M1) and I gotta say it didn’t entice me in the slightest. Thin? I always have a case on mine 🤷♂️
definitely need a review on the tandom oled display
I am with you on this one. I don't see any point in spending a lot of money on a computer tablet that has excellent technology, but its OS locks you in walled garden where the App Store is full of mediocre regurgitated smart phone style apps. What a waste of great technology. Only Apple could be so obtuse.
You’re missing out man.. I’m loving this thing so much!!!! It’s the most beautiful and amazing piece of technology I’ve ever seen. That’s screen 🤩🤯 that keyboard that amazing M4 chip and the new thinness and weight… Yes I understand the software need soooooo much work! But I also don’t think they will ever add MacOS nor do I think that’s the right move, they just need to add some better Apps like a Final Cut and logic with ALL the features; an Xcode app with full functionality; some more AAA games; some more pro and non pro 😅apps with no reduction in functionality. And some system improvements. I’t just up to developers I believe when it comes to the iPad in my humble opinion as a tech enthusiast ☺️.
You said exactly what my best friend said and that’s every iPad gets a little faster but you don’t really need it my battery though is degraded to 80% I’m going to try to get another year out of it just don’t have the money right now for the new one also why is the new iPad Pro have the same 10 hours I wish they would bump up the battery life
The beginning 😂
Pretty inspiring, living within your means probably also helped. Other RUclipsrs are probably forced to make repetitive videos of the iPads to pay their bills.
have I pad pro for years and still do not finding way should I replace it … apple not bringing any features that worth replacing the old ones .. I guess the company vision died with Steve .
I just upgraded from my old gen 3 iPad Pro to the new iPad Air 13inch the only thing I miss is faceid
yeah from "999" you mean more like 3000 or 4000 if you want something decent in term of storage and additional keyboard.
I totally agree with you. I've own several apple products (apple girl). But I'm passing on this series of iPads. I have the iPad Pro M2 so I was really looking forward to an updated Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil. I refuse to buy the iPad M4 just to have an updated keyboard and pencil. I refuse to buy the iPad Air M2 just to use the Apple Pencil Pro. It is the same guts as my iPad Pro M2 minus a few things. Apple needs to clean up their iPad line up and accessories....it is a mess. It seems like Apple is more money hungry and no longer appealing to everyone's needs. Def missing Steve Jobs.
When I saw the thumbnail, I was like wow he ain't even going to review them. But thinking now, he would probably just come to the same conclusion as his last reviews. Great hardware, no software
I think people say no software because they want specific software that it isn’t there… I used to hate there weren’t good video editing apps, photoshop level apps, Lightroom, 3D hard modeling, 3D sculpting, pro vector/design apps, animation, motion graphics apps… but these days there are a few options for each of those categories. Also a lot of apps that aren’t of my interest like music, there are a lot of expensive apps for music production.
I don’t even want macOS for iPad if I wanted it it would not be because of the iPad having too much power, I want iPad being able to format drives (no need of much power for that).
This ipad pro seems to be for the people who don't own a Ipad Pro already. I got a Samsung tab s6 lite and i do find it is a bit slow and screen isn't great. This amoled crazy fast ipad Pro would be better. But i do have an samsung s23 ultra phone and it does everything i need but just on a smaller screen. So Ipad Pro would just be a luxury item instead of it improving my life. I also have a nice oled TV so im not sure where an ipad pro would fit in. Im just a tech nerd and that's the reason i want it. My last ipad i had was from 2012 and it died in 2014 randomly while i was using it. That's the thing i could spend alot of money on it and it just to die in 2 years. Needs a 5 year warranty. The entry level ipad seems really good but it's a shame it's not oled or amoled.
"People expect a review to be about a lot of positive things"
No, people expect a review to be honest. If something is bad, I want to hear that from a CC. Hype and exaggerated positivity brings more clicks, but honesty earns you a long time follower base.
The iPad M4 Pro is a beast and a fantastic device. What is there to complain about as long as you understand it is a tablet, not a desktop OS? Why people insist on comparing it with a MacBook and then saying it is bad because of that is just unfathomable. When I watch Galaxy Tab S Ultra reviews, that is never mentioned. It seems to me a lot of people either lack fundamental common sense or are simply commenting to flex against Apple.
Years & years & until next year. Understand man
I understand your argument, but how is this any different with the Macs or iPhones. They all just become a little more capable and nothing fundamental changes. How is an M3 MacBook Air different from an M2. And how is an M4 going to be different from an M3?
At least here we got great hardware improvements
It’s the snapdragon surface pro for me. I loved the iPad too but I’m sick of the water potential
No. I wouldn’t buy it until after June. If iPadOS 18 makes it worth it, just do a month or 2 months later review when you have the beta on it
You are absolutely right! Why wasting precious time talking about the same object that got slightly faster and thinner?! Let’s move on from the iPad talk. 🎉
Yeah I was wondering why you weren't making videos about the new iPads but then I remembered you said you weren't interested in them this year
I wanted a touchscreen Mac since probably 2010 or so.
I don’t understand why the iPad pros get such a weak camera compared to the iPhone pros
