Upgraded from an M1 12.9 to the m4 13. The reduced weight has completely changed the way I use it. I can actually use it with one hand now because of the weight reduction. I run my business from my iPad and it can go anywhere with me, it is such a versatile device. Also, I didn’t think I’d enjoy the display as much as I am, but it is definitely a step up from the mini led, although I am a display snob so others might not notice a difference. Also, the battery life is vastly improved when watching videos thanks to the OLED display being able to shut off pixels when displaying blacks. I still think iPadOS needs some work, such as a much needed improved files app, but the hardware improvements this generation are very tangible when you actually hold the device.
I love my 11” M4 iPad Pro,I was coming from the 2018 iPad Pro,and what a great upgrade,love how fast it is,and my goodness the OLED display is amazing.
i have the 13 inch and it is AMAZING. i only use it for school but I find that the iPad works so smoothly with the magic keyboard. i upgraded from the first gen iPad Pro 11 inch from 2018 (my first Pro model ever) and there is a huge difference in the performance. 10/10 I highly recommend this iPad to everyone..
Even going from the M2 iPad Pro, I still think this is the best upgrade I've ever had. It brings back the magical feeling that I've long forgotten of a new iPad. This time, I get the 1TB wifi model and I think it's worth the price.
Using iPad Pro 11 inch 2020 with the Magic Keyboard and im in love with it honestly; the whole device and keyboard combo is incredible, i went to an Apple Store to look at the new MacBooks and found myself looking more at the new iPads.
I love my M4 iPad. So much so I traded in my M1 MacBook Pro for a Mac Mini because I travel solely with the iPad now. The M4 iPad does everything I do on my Mac for both work and play so I don't need the laptop anymore.
Coming from 4th gen 12,9” 512gb, it looks like the introduction price has increased by 27% for that same configuration. And for the Nano texture you need to go for 2TB and landing at 2299 usd, which is more than double what my 4th gen costed… That’s a lot of money for a secondary device, and happens to line up with the entry level price of a MacBook Pro 16”.
I use the IPAD PRO 13 2024 9 hours plus a day. How ever I own the 256GB version which is more than enough for me. Nothing wrong with my IPAD PRO 2018 256GB. I felt it was time for an update seeing the Magic Keyboard has a function row and the new PENCIL PRO I use a lot more with the Squeeze feature. I do agree Magic Keyboard is way over priced. $150 TOPS. Not the price of a base IPAD.
I upgraded from my old 10.5-Inch iPad Pro and GOOOD this is A WHOLE NEW thing I really love it and feels like it really was a worth investment for my university
@@maximuscesr2447 11” one! I personally hate the 13 inch one, my best friend got one and it’s massive, but for those who need a bigger display is amazing
I purchased the iPad Pro M4 13 inch on Monday, after having used the iPad 3rd Generation 12.9 for the last 4 years. Was totally blown away with the response of loading apps etc. Super super fast. Fully charged it up overnight on Monday night to see how long I could use it for before charging again. Gave up after 13 hrs of use, only having used 66% of the battery. This compares to when I purchased the 3rd Generation iPad Pro, where I done a similar test, where the battery fully discharged after just over 10 hours of use. I run a 4hr RUclips film on repeat on both occasions. Run with screen on all the time. This is how I always do a battery comparison check when I buy a new iPad or phone. BTW, I now have to recharge the 3rd Generation iPad Pro about every 3 hours now. Time to put a new battery in. With any luck, I’d like to think the M4 model battery will last longer, maybe 5, or even 6 years.
@@TheGamestalker Seems like you can from new. You have to appreciate that over a period of time, the battery will depreciate. But I’d like to think, that in 2 years time, I could get at least 10 hours of use from a fully charged battery. At the moment, and for the foreseeable future, I will only charge it up to 80% each time I charge, and I always try and avoid going below 20% Charge to help keep the battery in tip top condition.
@@TAMS1952Honestly I'm not sure that is worth doing, considering it's only a minor factor in comparison to just luck. I've had my 15 Pro Max since November with 215 cycles and it's at 99% capacity until recently. It was at 100% until just over 200 cycles. I never worried about battery, letting it get hot or just charging overnight with only the optimized charging activated.
Once again, great review of the device. I had the last version so I was happy for the updated device iPad Pro M4-1 and looked forward to your review. I didn't find the 13-inch screen to visually be that much larger than the 12.9. Yes, the thin-ness and light weight are especially cool but it is also grippier to hold. The iPad Pro and MacBook Air are still competing for my time but I'm now favoring this version of the iPad Pro almost exclusively now. Recently there was a serious issue with the screen. It became dysfunctional last week and blacked out. It showed a few colors on one side of the screen and totally black on the other. Apple says it's a known issue and they immediately replaced the device as long as there is (no) visible damage to the outside casing - indicating that it has been dropped. Apple says if you have this issue with your device you should call and report it right away.
I have the 2nd Generation 2017 iPad Pro 12.9 screen size and I bought it new back in 2017 and it’s in mint condition, except the silicon casing. I was considering upgrading to the iPad Pro 13 with the keyboard but when I saw one I was surprised how thin and light it is compared to mine. I’m concerned it might not last as long as mine has and because it’s so thin the battery won’t last as long. And I heard about the speaker quality can be an issue for some with it sounding tinny. Supposedly, the 13 is bigger than mine at 12.9 but it feels like a smaller screen size when you hold it, but I’m aware I have the home button on mine and all the bezels. But I do like how the casing holds the iPad Pro 13 and it’s keyboard together. I just don’t see this lasting as long as mine which I’ve almost had it for 8yrs with no issues at all. My battery is still working like it did when new.
I will be upgrading from an Ipad Air 2013 to an Ipad M4 13 + magic keyboard. Cant wait to get my hands on it i am already counting the reamining days. I think even from my stand where i am not a "pro" user this device is very good if u can afford the price tag. Keep up with the vids man!
Looks nice with nano texture I am definitely going 2 upgrade to his option from my 12.9 iPad Pro m1 I feel the m4 is great update going for 13 inch . Thanks for sharing
Last Ipad, or tablet I ever had was an iPad Air 2. Those were super neat. Broke back in 2015 due to kid dropping it. Upgrading to an 11in M4 pro really is a hell of a jump! This is my 2nd one M4, however, since the last one stopped charging the pencil. Apparently mine was a first, so they just gave me a new in exchange. Haven't had any issues since.
The M4 iPad Pro has renewed my love of the iPad (I have used since 2015), the function row on keyboard has made a surprising difference, while the new thinness really does make it feel like a magic pane of glass. I use mine for office work, leisure such as RUclips, photo editing and playing music. I use on keyboard, in folio case and just as tablet with pencil. It is my favourite device. Just the lack of certain specific software stops me replacing my MacBook Pro. As the missing software is from third parties, not really Apple’s fault. I am generally quite happy with iPad OS and am not one of those people wanting macOS.
Try using a 60W brick or higher with the charging port pass through on the Magic Keyboard. It supports fast charging the iPad that way though the pins.
Best edition of the iPad yet and the MKB makes it even better. Using it as my daily carry and it does the job with flying colors. I have the option of a 14” M3 Pro MBP, but it rarely leaves my desk.
About to upgrade from the 10.9 iPad Air 4th gen to the m4 iPad Pro and I’m beyond excited but still can’t decide the size or if I want the nano screen.
its really pissing me off that so many youtubers complain about the apple pencil thing.. there is actually a BIG reason why the 2 gen wont work and WE ALL asked for it.. they moved the camera modules the way we wanted it HAVING TO MOVE STUFF AROUND for the apple pencil stuff...please like its not that hard to understand
Watching from the M4 iPad Pro with Nano Texture. Best mobile computing device I’ve owned. If it wasn’t for Apple business decisions, I would ditch my MacBook Pro.
I have an iPad and it is my main device. In fact, I see fewer features on the iPhone now and I think the iPad is 1000 times better. The phone is just that, to make and receive calls or function as a modem. Beyond that, I inclined more towards the iPad and it is far superior in everyday use than a MacBook. I use the iPhone because the market is very adapted to cell phones, but as soon as I can, I will buy another iPad with a cellular chip and I will use the iPhone much less. This is where foldable phones have their reason for being and now I understand it. By the way, a 60hz phone? It is impossible for me now. Greetings Aaron. 👍🏽
I have the same setup except no nanotech screen. Love the weight, screen, color, function keys, new Magic Keyboard (with aluminum). I agree that the center-of-balance feels different. Have you noticed that it is possible to scrap metal-to-metal with the iPad and keyboard now? That’s a bit of a concern for me, though it doesn’t happen often if I am careful when positioning the screen forward.
My only complaint is it runs IOS and therefore some apps do not give you full control. For example they Zoom app does not give me full functionality compared to the desktop version. However it is my go to device and I run LR mobile on it which works fast and great. BTW I am using the prev 13” M2 version. Still happy with it.
Hi Aaron, I want to upgrade my 2018 11 iPad Pro. Using it for watching videos and web browsing, learning from Udemy courses, and note taking. Which iPad should I get between M4 11 iPad Pro, M2 11 iPad Air, and the upcoming iPad Mini 7?
My opinion is M1 is the current best buy. Until Apple adds significant desktop features that merge the iPadOS nearer to a Desktop OS then M4 makes little real difference despite the awesome hardware in raw performance which comes with raw price too. Plenty of people say they're still happy with their 2018 iPads also tbh. Obviously Apple Intelligence is only coming to M1 and above iPads so again that's another reason why Apple M-Series M1 is the sweet spot.
It all comes down to what you need and your budget If you're looking to save money the m1 pro or air If you want the best and really value 120hz the m4 If you want a newest generation ipad and don't care about 120hz and is fine with 60hz the m2 If you just want something small and portable that you can pocket and use like a bigger phone then the mini
It’s crazy how Apple has a consumer base that can convince itself that they need a PRO iPad even though there are amazing laptops in the market. A MacBook Air m1 is still more useful than an M4 iPad Pro & costs significantly lesser, yet, there’s a lot of people who buy Pro iPads! Not judging, just appreciating Apple as a company!
Just got my 13 inch M4 yesterday. Coming from an air 2.…goes without saying it’s an upgrade. Use it mostly for art and content consumption. Probably didn’t need the pro for that but the screen was just too good.
My problem is that I still love my 2018 12.9”, but I’ve also gotten to the point where my choices back then (256Gb/Wi-Fi) are starting to constrain me. I’m also still debating 13 vs. 11.
great review, thanks! I'm about to buy one, but I'm a little worried about the PWM. How are your eyes? Do you get tired or dry eyes after using it? Many people complain about screen discomfort, headaches etc
Sound quality is noticeably worse, especially voices on RUclips. Just traded in my 11” M2 iPad Pro for the M4. Voices sound tinny and occasionally muffled, as if the speaker is inside a box or can. It’s annoying, though overall sound quality isn’t bad. I’d rate it “very good” versus my M2 sound that was “excellent”.
This iPad model might go down as the one that largely ending me buying iPads. The screen is excellent but the lack of features for the price really brought to light how many other items for that cost are excellent over the iPad...unless a non-4k OLED, less efficient (on purpose) than MacBook device for art you will not do..Some say it's for a limited market, ok but don't think Apple wants limited market sales so..
Tipping over in the lap kinda kills it for me. I want to be able to slump awkwardly in a chair/bed while using the keyboard (like a MacBook Air). Then again, I want a device I can use a pen on. Decisions, decisions…
6 to 8 hours run time is really bad if consider that battery run times used to be one of the selling points of tablets over laptops and smartphones as they simply lasted longer. Now we have smartphones, almost the size of entry tablets 10 years ago but they habe runtimes of 15 to 20 hours. I really wished, the kelt the ipad as thick as it was and use the extra space for extra battery capacity. Considering the power of the ipad, the efficiency is great. The battery simply can’t keep up.
I have one, personally I’ve got one complaint about it being it’s so hard to open with a Magic Keyboard, MacBooks have a small nook to get your finger or thumb into the iPad doesn’t, wish it did. I have to literally put it on my lap look at it and open it. I never manage to ever open it on a table like a MacBook. Also tempered glass screen protectors never last you need tpu for it, I’ve been through about 5 now on previous ipads
How did change my camera when recording videos to portrait mode. For example on TikTok I switch to portrait mode and my camera view is not centered. It’s requiring me to be in landscape mode landscape but my live comments are not below but sideways to the right
My issue is one of use opportunities. As Apple fans, we always update annually. Everything. Now I’m saying. With all this power. There must be more than movies.
M2 iPad Pro 12.9 user here. Don’t see my changing for years at this point. My MacBook and iPhone are worth upgrading every several years. iPads are not
The Magic Keyboard’s instability, however slight, is a deal breaker for me. I almost always use my M1 ipad pro in laptop configuration, and rarely on a table. It’s perfectly stable even on one knee when I’m navigating by touch or painting vigorously with my Pencil. Sensing the thing might tip over would destroy my work flow.
I’d try it in an Apple Store to see if it is an issue for you. I have the 13” M4 with new Magic Keyboard and notice the center-of-balance shifted but it doesn’t feel unstable, even on my lap. Seems fine to me - no risk of falling backwards.
Greeting. I just purchased an iPad M4. Contacted Support because unlike my iPad 4th gen, I could not update the M4 to iPadOS 18. I was informed that there was a hardware issue, specifically on the new chip, and that upgrading was suspended. Do you have any information on this. Thank you.
I don’t know why so many youtuber talk about the pencil being wider than the ipad… i think it was already wider than the ipad on the previous generations
@@Braden12 indeed I have my m1 and I’m glad, I find it overpowered for what I do with it , but yeah yeah I don’t have that anti deepblack nano texture , btw I’m glad I still have a m1 as I could figure out how to use Apple ai within Europe !
I wish you spoke to the feel of writing on the nano screen. Does it feel a bit more like writing on Paperlike or similar screen protector? I found writing on the slick screens really difficult and prone to looking gross because of hand oils.
It feels almost identical to the original glass screen writing wise. it is slightly more paper ish but i wouldnt call it even remotely close to paperlike. it still has that glass feel BUT the weird inconsistencies with the hand oil spots are entirely gone. it all feels entirely uniform and quite a bit more controlled. also it feels way better to touch and it leaving almost no fingerprints it is quite a upgrade in my book. Using it almost exclusively for drawing i wont go without the nanotexture anymore. its a huge upgrade and considering i replaced my paperlike every 1-2 months (sometimes even 2-3 weeks depending on the use) its even a "cost saving" point after a year of use or so. Visually you shouldnt think about it. everyone talks about contrast and color and sharpness but having both side by side its pretty much only noticable if you have them next to each other and look really closely in a dimm room. everywhere else you cant tell the difference but reflection wise i probably wont need to tell you which one wins In the end. Paperlike makes the ipad screen look shit and its costs a lot because you need to replace it a lot to stay clean while the nanotexture has none of those issues while not feeling as rough as the paperlike. id say. go for it. i wont be looking back
Mine has been great. Same unit minus the texture screen. You mentioned the keyboard USB-C not being super speed, are you talking about date transfer or charging. Just asking since on mine I get the same charging speeds on the keyboard as the ipad USB-C port averaging about 35 to 40 watts. Unlike the older ones that the magic keyboard port charged slower.
Something I can not figure out is what justifies paying so much for an iPad? A 1TB iPad Pro with a keyboard and a pencil will cost me 750€ MORE than what I paid my unbind 16GB/1TB M1 Pro MacBook Pro 2 years ago! It is even 200€ more than a base M3 Pro MacBook Pro. And it’s barely more portable! So what justifies paying so much?
The magic keyboard is sooooo heavy and I can't fold it to the back so I have to take it out if I wanna read something. Coming from iPad pro 2018, the folio was so light and I never took the iPad out. This is a huge drawback.
Why did Apple require the use of a new Magic Keyboard?! I hate when Apple are just greedy like that. Because of this I’ll stick longer with my old iPad, thank you Apple.
@@nexus888they had to change the magnet layout to accommodate the landscape camera. Can you really not grasp the idea that there are factors other than external dimensions that affect compatibility??
Aaron, I have a question for you please: Now that pharmacies are closing, and more drugs / medications can be bought online, how do folks buy drugs / medications online using their Part D insurance cards and not have to pay full prices for drugs? Usually, I just give my card to the drugstore cashier and I get charged the cost of medications that insurance does not cover.
@@bghimself440 I am not a Dude. I am not right now on ANY drugs. I do have Part D Medicare coverage and feel at sea because the brick and mortar pharmacies, to whom I present my card for prescription discounts, are closing. Plus, with real pharmacies you can get meds that are not expired and deal personally with real people. Does anyone here have experience in using insurance cards in conjunction with buying medications online? How do you get the drug discounts?
Does the pencil feel more natural on the nano texture screen? For taking notes in lectures, I’ve seen a lot of people use the “paperlike” screen protectors to get a better feel. I’d never pay for the nano texture for that reason, just curious.
I don't know why people should have a iPad? For what? Maybe just switch the iPadOS to macOS make it more useful? Like the surface book and surface pro running the similar or exactly the same windows experience. Just merge them iPadOS with macOS make it a real computer OS.

I have an iPad and it is my main device. In fact, I see fewer features on the iPhone now and I think the iPad is 1000 times better. The phone is just that, to make and receive calls or function as a modem. Beyond that, I inclined more towards the iPad and it is far superior in everyday use than a MacBook. I use the iPhone because the market is very adapted to cell phones, but as soon as I can, I will buy another iPad with a cellular chip and I will use the iPhone much less. This is where foldable phones have their reason for being and now I understand it. By the way, a 60hz phone? It is impossible for me now. Greetings Aaron. 👍🏽
Trying to decide between 11inch or 13inch
Tbh this video going over the same things you said after the unboxing …. We know the specs and all that info already
most of his videos like that lately milking the same subject over and over for view.
@@Blackdragon79 I hate to be that person
But 90 days later all you did was tell us mostly about specs and battery life
Man, it was a sponsored video so $$$$$$
I barely mentioned the fact. I purposely made that brief just so you knew which version I was using.
I purposely try not to repeat the same thing over and over. I think you’re incorrect.
Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.

My favourite part❤😍😍😍😍
I have the same setup except no nanotech screen. Love the weight, screen, color, function keys, new Magic Keyboard (with aluminum). I agree that the center-of-balance feels different. Have you noticed that it is possible to scrap metal-to-metal with the iPad and keyboard now? That’s a bit of a concern for me, though it doesn’t happen often if I am careful when positioning the screen forward.
My only complaint is it runs IOS and therefore some apps do not give you full control. For example they Zoom app does not give me full functionality compared to the desktop version. However it is my go to device and I run LR mobile on it which works fast and great. BTW I am using the prev 13” M2 version. Still happy with it.
Thank you
What is better: white or black colour of a magic keyboard? Why did u choose black?
Also isn’t 11’ too small?
I think I’m OK this year with my M2 iPad Pro maybe next time I will upgrade
Hi Aaron, I want to upgrade my 2018 11 iPad Pro. Using it for watching videos and web browsing, learning from Udemy courses, and note taking. Which iPad should I get between M4 11 iPad Pro, M2 11 iPad Air, and the upcoming iPad Mini 7?
My opinion is M1 is the current best buy. Until Apple adds significant desktop features that merge the iPadOS nearer to a Desktop OS then M4 makes little real difference despite the awesome hardware in raw performance which comes with raw price too.
Plenty of people say they're still happy with their 2018 iPads also tbh. Obviously Apple Intelligence is only coming to M1 and above iPads so again that's another reason why Apple M-Series M1 is the sweet spot.
@@commentarytalk1446Ok, thanks! Should I buy the m1 iPad Pro if eBay is my only option to get it?
It all comes down to what you need and your budget
If you're looking to save money the m1 pro or air
If you want the best and really value 120hz the m4
If you want a newest generation ipad and don't care about 120hz and is fine with 60hz the m2
If you just want something small and portable that you can pocket and use like a bigger phone then the mini
It’s crazy how Apple has a consumer base that can convince itself that they need a PRO iPad even though there are amazing laptops in the market. A MacBook Air m1 is still more useful than an M4 iPad Pro & costs significantly lesser, yet, there’s a lot of people who buy Pro iPads! Not judging, just appreciating Apple as a company!
value is in the eye of the beholder
If Mac Pro had iPad touch screen and long battery life I’d buy one. I buy iPad because it has touch screen
Just got my 13 inch M4 yesterday. Coming from an air 2.…goes without saying it’s an upgrade. Use it mostly for art and content consumption. Probably didn’t need the pro for that but the screen was just too good.
13” model just seems too huge to me. I’m still rocking 10.5” iPad Pro from 2017.
My problem is that I still love my 2018 12.9”, but I’ve also gotten to the point where my choices back then (256Gb/Wi-Fi) are starting to constrain me. I’m also still debating 13 vs. 11.
great review, thanks! I'm about to buy one, but I'm a little worried about the PWM. How are your eyes? Do you get tired or dry eyes after using it? Many people complain about screen discomfort, headaches etc
My mom loves the m4 iPad Pro
Its light and the keyboard case is not stiff
Sound quality is noticeably worse, especially voices on RUclips. Just traded in my 11” M2 iPad Pro for the M4. Voices sound tinny and occasionally muffled, as if the speaker is inside a box or can. It’s annoying, though overall sound quality isn’t bad. I’d rate it “very good” versus my M2 sound that was “excellent”.
It does sound tinny base not adequate but screen is amazing
This iPad model might go down as the one that largely ending me buying iPads. The screen is excellent but the lack of features for the price really brought to light how many other items for that cost are excellent over the iPad...unless a non-4k OLED, less efficient (on purpose) than MacBook device for art you will not do..Some say it's for a limited market, ok but don't think Apple wants limited market sales so..
Tipping over in the lap kinda kills it for me. I want to be able to slump awkwardly in a chair/bed while using the keyboard (like a MacBook Air). Then again, I want a device I can use a pen on. Decisions, decisions…
6 to 8 hours run time is really bad if consider that battery run times used to be one of the selling points of tablets over laptops and smartphones as they simply lasted longer. Now we have smartphones, almost the size of entry tablets 10 years ago but they habe runtimes of 15 to 20 hours.
I really wished, the kelt the ipad as thick as it was and use the extra space for extra battery capacity. Considering the power of the ipad, the efficiency is great. The battery simply can’t keep up.
I have one, personally I’ve got one complaint about it being it’s so hard to open with a Magic Keyboard, MacBooks have a small nook to get your finger or thumb into the iPad doesn’t, wish it did. I have to literally put it on my lap look at it and open it. I never manage to ever open it on a table like a MacBook. Also tempered glass screen protectors never last you need tpu for it, I’ve been through about 5 now on previous ipads
With having both space black, do you find a lot of fingers prints? Should one stick to the silver colour?
Still enjoying my M1 12.9'.
I don’t like the Magic Keyboard . I prefer using the Combo Touch from Logitech that is much better to use.😊
Never been an iPad owner but in a couple of days I will be.
So far so good
How did change my camera when recording videos to portrait mode. For example on TikTok I switch to portrait mode and my camera view is not centered. It’s requiring me to be in landscape mode landscape but my live comments are not below but sideways to the right
My issue is one of use opportunities. As Apple fans, we always update annually. Everything. Now I’m saying. With all this power. There must be more than movies.
I have the a12z iPad Pro is it worth for me to upgrade to this m4? Will I feel the difference?
M2 iPad Pro 12.9 user here. Don’t see my changing for years at this point. My MacBook and iPhone are worth upgrading every several years. iPads are not
I really wish Apple brings this display to MBPs this or next year but I doubt given the amount of static content we have on full fledged desktop OS.
The Magic Keyboard’s instability, however slight, is a deal breaker for me. I almost always use my M1 ipad pro in laptop configuration, and rarely on a table. It’s perfectly stable even on one knee when I’m navigating by touch or painting vigorously with my Pencil. Sensing the thing might tip over would destroy my work flow.
I’d try it in an Apple Store to see if it is an issue for you. I have the 13” M4 with new Magic Keyboard and notice the center-of-balance shifted but it doesn’t feel unstable, even on my lap. Seems fine to me - no risk of falling backwards.
should I wait for 30th October apple event hoping the mini would have oled screen etc etc.. or just get the iPad Pro now.
Greeting. I just purchased an iPad M4. Contacted Support because unlike my iPad 4th gen, I could not update the M4 to iPadOS 18. I was informed that there was a hardware issue, specifically on the new chip, and that upgrading was suspended. Do you have any information on this. Thank you.
M4 was having some issues. You can download 18 now on it
I don’t know why so many youtuber talk about the pencil being wider than the ipad… i think it was already wider than the ipad on the previous generations
It’s a way to show the thickness of the device
I’ll be sticking with my M1 Pro 11”
Still haven’t upgraded from my M2 iPad Pro. Haven’t saw the need to.
@@Braden12 indeed I have my m1 and I’m glad, I find it overpowered for what I do with it , but yeah yeah I don’t have that anti deepblack nano texture , btw I’m glad I still have a m1 as I could figure out how to use Apple ai within Europe !
You don’t need to unless u want oled
still? It's only one generation behind lol. But yeah I'm still using m1 and I don't see myself upgrading for at least another 5 years

I wish you spoke to the feel of writing on the nano screen. Does it feel a bit more like writing on Paperlike or similar screen protector? I found writing on the slick screens really difficult and prone to looking gross because of hand oils.
It feels almost identical to the original glass screen writing wise. it is slightly more paper ish but i wouldnt call it even remotely close to paperlike. it still has that glass feel BUT the weird inconsistencies with the hand oil spots are entirely gone. it all feels entirely uniform and quite a bit more controlled. also it feels way better to touch and it leaving almost no fingerprints it is quite a upgrade in my book.
Using it almost exclusively for drawing i wont go without the nanotexture anymore. its a huge upgrade and considering i replaced my paperlike every 1-2 months (sometimes even 2-3 weeks depending on the use) its even a "cost saving" point after a year of use or so.
Visually you shouldnt think about it. everyone talks about contrast and color and sharpness but having both side by side its pretty much only noticable if you have them next to each other and look really closely in a dimm room. everywhere else you cant tell the difference but reflection wise i probably wont need to tell you which one wins
In the end. Paperlike makes the ipad screen look shit and its costs a lot because you need to replace it a lot to stay clean while the nanotexture has none of those issues while not feeling as rough as the paperlike.
id say. go for it. i wont be looking back
@@Apticx TY for the detailed feedback. This is quite useful!!
Mine has been great. Same unit minus the texture screen. You mentioned the keyboard USB-C not being super speed, are you talking about date transfer or charging. Just asking since on mine I get the same charging speeds on the keyboard as the ipad USB-C port averaging about 35 to 40 watts. Unlike the older ones that the magic keyboard port charged slower.
What is PWM, what is its negative affect and who does it affect?
How can it be used as a touch monitor for the MacMini, simultaneously switching?
Is it possible to turn off the Apple Pencil Pro?
good video !!
Something I can not figure out is what justifies paying so much for an iPad? A 1TB iPad Pro with a keyboard and a pencil will cost me 750€ MORE than what I paid my unbind 16GB/1TB M1 Pro MacBook Pro 2 years ago! It is even 200€ more than a base M3 Pro MacBook Pro. And it’s barely more portable! So what justifies paying so much?
I guess touch screen displays must be expensive these days 🤷
Yeah touch screen and battery life and amazing oled finally
I would hope you still liked it after 90 days with how much it costs 😅😅😅
Love iPad Update all about Apps and apple iPadOS18 & iOS18 love ❤️ so big about real updates settings software #@!!! ❤️🙏🏻 big thanks 🙏🏻 love anyone 🙏🏻
The magic keyboard is sooooo heavy and I can't fold it to the back so I have to take it out if I wanna read something. Coming from iPad pro 2018, the folio was so light and I never took the iPad out. This is a huge drawback.
Why did Apple require the use of a new Magic Keyboard?! I hate when Apple are just greedy like that. Because of this I’ll stick longer with my old iPad, thank you Apple.
There some other keyboards that you can use. ESR and logitech have compatible ones
Because it is a redesigned product…that’s like wondering why a something won’t work on a new car from your old one when it is a redesigned model.
@@jmunayer sorry but I disagree. The keyboard is practically the same, it's just 2mm in difference. This is purely to make money.
@@nexus888they had to change the magnet layout to accommodate the landscape camera. Can you really not grasp the idea that there are factors other than external dimensions that affect compatibility??
Is the 11in the same but smaller?
That's right. Everything is the same.
Hi hello is there a way u can make an in-depth video on the iPhone weather app iOS 18 plz need to understand this work feature it has
Aaron, I have a question for you please: Now that pharmacies are closing, and more drugs / medications can be bought online, how do folks buy drugs / medications online using their Part D insurance cards and not have to pay full prices for drugs?
Usually, I just give my card to the drugstore cashier and I get charged the cost of medications that insurance does not cover.
@@SuiGenerisAbbie hey buddy are you on drugs ?
@@bghimself440
I am not a Dude.
I am not right now on ANY drugs.
I do have Part D Medicare coverage and feel at sea because the brick and mortar pharmacies, to whom I present my card for prescription discounts, are closing.
Plus, with real pharmacies you can get meds that are not expired and deal personally with real people.
Does anyone here have experience in using insurance cards in conjunction with buying medications online? How do you get the drug discounts?
you should try zooming out the camera a bit
How do you get the keyboard brightness icon option to come up on the screen? I see other icons but that one does not display for me.
The speakers on my 11” are definitely not load enough. Big difference compared to the M2 iPad Pro 11”. Very disappointed.
Why the physical keyboard cannot unlock my iPad?!
Does the pencil feel more natural on the nano texture screen?
For taking notes in lectures, I’ve seen a lot of people use the “paperlike” screen protectors to get a better feel. I’d never pay for the nano texture for that reason, just curious.
It feels a little different. Paperlike feels like paper, but this is somewhere in between the gloss screen and paperlike
Is there a good alternative to Magic Keyboard for M1 iPad Pro 11 inch ?
Logitech, but they arent much cheaper
@@zollotechand they're heavy (i had the two part model) and badly made (all the speaker port areas stretched). Went back to Magic for the M4.
What is the weather widget you use on your iPhone videos called?
Mercury
@@zollotech Thank you 🙏
I don't know why people should have a iPad? For what? Maybe just switch the iPadOS to macOS make it more useful? Like the surface book and surface pro running the similar or exactly the same windows experience. Just merge them iPadOS with macOS make it a real computer OS.
Magic Keyboard is really good but way too expensive !
I don’t know why I think, but I think M2 iPad Pro speakers sound better
They probably do. One can't get away from physics.Too small a foam factor for good bass.
where did you get the cloth
