Great points, Fernando. I have been 100% iPad Pro since 2019. Just got my 1TB M4 13 inch and it is a beast. I hear the arguments from the majority, but from my perspective, the simplify of iPadOS actually allows me to be more productive. A few years ago, we had to develop a lot of workarounds, now, there is no function I used to do with MacBook that I cannot accomplish on my iPad.
Oh no! A person living in a capitalist society is actively participating in the capitalist society they live in just so they can make a living and ensure they don't end up without a home and food and just you know all your basic essentials. How very much dare they!
Lol, the best thing about multitasking I've heard ever. Its good iPad can't do it because I can't get organized and work with many apps efficiently. However iPad meets my own multitasking needs.
Great video. Very insightful and informative. I appreciate the review from someone who uses the iPad Pro professionally and doesn’t simply buy one dreaming of the day Apple will put MacOS on it.
Virtual Machine App on iPad would solve both problems: You can use iPadOS when needed and MacOS when needed. The rest of the video is worth watching about useful productive Apps - so thanks for curating those.
iPad Pros have been my main computer for years. I also love using my Mac, but it is more stressful 😅 Excellent intro! Btw, always appreciate your advice and insight on iPad being utilized as a main computer! 🐬
Hey Fernando, I'd love to hear more about why you switched to the Mail app over the Gmail app.. I keep trying to make the switch back for all of the Apple Mail App features, but keep finding myself back in the Gmail app. Curious to hear more of your thoughts!
Anyone claiming to need macOS for multitasking on an 11inch screen tablet is being unrealistic. That’s way too small for anything other than split screen work.
I've never understood why people want an ipad to just be exactly like MacOS. Kind of defeats the purpose of being the ultimate hybrid device imo. If you are willing to open your mind a bit more and realize you can accomplish the same things they just require a slightly different approach, then you might find yourself perfering it over MacOS. For me personally, the ipad is Apples' best device, hands down. But I understand at the same time it's not for everyone.
I have been using an iPad Air as my "second" computer for years. I also have a Mac Mini M1. I have the iCloud Drive and Desktop and Documents Folders set on (in the iCloud settings) This keeps a synched copy of all my iCloud files in the Library -> iCloud folder. I then use Time Machine AND a macOS app called Get Backup Pro to keep ALL my data (including photos and videos) backed up using two different methods. I have recently upgraded to an iPad Air 6 13" and love it. There are only two things that prevents the iPad becoming my main computer: the Files app (I'd like it to be more like Finder) and the lack of iPad based backup. I'm reluctant to trust iCloud as my only source of backup for my only computer when it's an iOS device. I would be really interested if you could address these issues (tell us how you manage these tasks) in a future video. Thanks for your content! Regards, Peter
You missed the point fernando... i think most ppl are not asking for macos..they are asking for pro apps like 1) desktop class browser with all the chrome extensions.. 2)apps like boom 3d to run in background n control system level sound... 3)setting to change display color( import icc profile) ...4) run google docs n sheets in browser properly with all functionality or proper office 365 apps..and lastly 5) files app that can run in background......Apple currently only focuses on photo editors but nt everyone is creative professional....even then it wont let u change the color profile of the display
I don’t disagree with your specific thesis: the iPad is good for productivity because it forces you to focus on the thing in front of you. Fine. I get that. I enjoy that about the iPad also. That, however, is no excuse for the severe limitations in file management, the inability to natively manage multiple audio feeds, and the lack of true multitasking. It is, frankly, ridiculous that on the supposed powerhouse which is the M4 iPad Pro, I’m unable to render a video in the background while I, say, browse with Safari. And so, for me, it’s important to understand what the iPad is (from a design/philosophical standpoint) and where there are true gaps which, frankly, should have been addressed years ago.
Sometimes I think that the majority of the people whining about iPad OS do it because they see some RUclipsrs whining about it. They don't know why they don't like it but they do because they're not supposed to like it. I preordered the iPad 9.7" in 2010, preordered the iPad Mini 2012, Preordered the iPad Pro 12.9" in 2015. Now use the iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen. It does everything I need with ease. The day they announce the iPad Pro 15" or 16" I'll be preordering that one. I don't have a problem with the last few versions of iPad OS. Works perfectly for me. I see people always complaining about the file system being hard to use and I just don't get that. I find it very easy to use and it works perfectly. In some ways I find it easier than MAC OS file system. Do I want more things in the OS, of course, everybody always does. But I'm not dissatisfied with what we already have in any manner.
It's hands down the best hybrid device experience imo. Everyone who has tried to do a hybrid device makes it desktop based, which has been a horrible experience. It's not perfect, but the balance it strikes between a great tablet experience a solid desktop alternative as an in an on the go laptop when needed is great.
I would prefer to have four quadrant multitasking. In essence the way it is to day but four separate quarters of the screen. I think the completeness of apps is important. Being able to run macOS equivalent plugins in Logic Pro. Having a working IDE from companies like pycharm or Microsoft. I think it’s more leaning in further, creating more momentum with 3rd parties.
The iPad's horrendous files app is what kills it as a productivity tool. If all you need to do is web stuff it's fine but the moment you need to import/export files everything falls apart.
Here’s the thing, it’s not that I would want the full form macOS on the iPad Pro, but I think apple should gear the iPad towards an actual “desktop mode” and then a “tablet mode” that iPadOS already is. Stage manager is very nice, I use it pretty often too but it ain’t nearly enough for it to replace an actual Mac or windows computer with and it will continue to hold the iPad back no matter how powerful apple makes it.
I love the ipad for some things. I love the mac for other reasons. The reason why I would like to see a hybrid is because I can cart around 1 computer versus 2 (ipad and macbook). I would love to see the ability for going into different systems just like mac used to do with mac and windows options in bootcamp. I don't want ONLY Mac on the ipad, I want ipados AND macos to allow dual booting so I can carry around ONE machine. I would even buy the overpriced mac memory in order to do that. IT is all about the convenience of one machine versus debating if I should bring my mac or ipad or both on trips outside my home and office. I love apple and we have the technology to make this happen. For those who don't want to use macos on their ipad as well can just not use it or install it if that is an option.
I just want mouse cursor improvement, external monitor improvements (snapping windows), and improved file management that includes disconnecting external ssd properly.
I love my iPad Pro m4 . Still I cannot use it professionally . I love some of the new functions of the Apple Pencil Pro , the apps for design are great but file management is tedious , no plugins for logic , not an extra port … still I owe a m2 iPad Pro 12.9 (2tb)inches and decided to buy a new 11” m4 iPad Pro with 1tb and the main advantage is the portability of the 11” . I do all the things I can do in the 12.9 and it is much better to carry around and hold in my hands . In fact I think , after trying all those , a MacBook Air 13” makes more sense rather than the 13” iPad , at least according to my portability use and pro apps . I am not a huge fan of FCP for iPad . I preferred Da Vinci or LF
The ONLY problem I have using the ipad as my main/only device is when using some SaaS products eg. high Level. Safari on the ipad just doesn’t work properly with some products and you can’t just download chrome or another browser as they all sit on safari in IPadOS. It’s frustrating as hell. Just give me a full browser.
What cable are you using to connect iPad Pro to your external display? I have a Samsung M8 display (32”) and using the bundled USB-C cable and this works fine with my MacBook Air but with iPad Pro image looks washed out and the dock is pretty big. (I’ve got the res option on more space. Thanks
Tell me you are 9to5mac without telling me you are. They are getting paid for every app featured . Gone are the days consumers would get honest recommendations in such videos
I just had an M4 13 delivered. I have an 11 from 2018 and a Mini. I would like some sort of Dock for it. The folio keyboard while improved is still horrible design and overpriced. The display on this thing is the nicest display I think I have ever seen.
How are you attempting to debunk it if it's not a hoax? It's actually true. The OS is not specifically tailored to the hardware, and everyone acknowledges it. Trying to adjust one's workflow to compensate for the OS's limitations is nothing to boast about tbh.
I think it's a very silly take to say that iPad should be a single app device and that's why we dont want MacOS on an iPad. Easy multi-tasking is what makes a modern computer a great computer, especially for power users. And the iPad is far from a device that can easily multi-task. I would be happy with iPadOS if it had a proper windowing system and a more robust Finder. I was so hopeful for iPadOS 18 before they unveiled it as a disappointing upgrade. It's the reason why I bought a Surface Pro 11 instead of the iPad Pro M4 while my desktop computer is a Mac Mini. The wait continues, maybe iPadOS 19 will make it better.
What has been your experience with the iPad Speakers? mine have very low volume on almost all levels and a way different EQ than my previous iPad, the sound is a lot less bright. I want to know if I got a faulty product
@@djstuc I have some headphones but I really find it uncomfortable to wear them for very long periods, so when lounging around my house I like to not wear them; the thing is I used to have an M1 Air and the speakers were louder in that device…
@@brunoadame4667 ive got an M1 Pro and yes the speakers are better, but I wouldn't call the 11 inch pro speakers bad. I use AirPods on low volume a lot as my partner watches TV, they aren't too fatiguing.
I have to say that the iPad is just a productivity disaster when it comes to Microsoft office apps and OneDrive. The bugs losing hours of work, offline on OneDrive just a disaster… i work most of the time on iPad but when it comes to Microsoft suite no way…
Maybe you can tell us how MS Office and Outlook is a “productivity disaster”. Maybe you’re one of the 1% that requires very specific functions that you can only get on a Windows machine?
@@housepianist yes sure - try to open many documents on Word, Excel, PowerPoint by using the OneDrive app or try also to open many documents from the same app itself - how do you compare 2 word documents automatically? - put some folders offline, leave it for a day or two, than cut your internet connection and you will find out that you don’t have access to some files, imagine someone taking the plane - try to open multiple file on the Microsoft 365 app - from Word Excel, PPT you can just read a few characters of the file name, which makes it super difficult to find the file you are searching for, imagine when you have more than 100 files on that folder - try to sort files from office apps, a pain… - sometimes the apps they just crash with heavy documents, losing hours of work! - documents even the numbers of pages not showing the same on laptop and iPad with large documents, it looses control - etc just so bad user experience! In our company we have more than 200 iPads, with the above issues imagine how much support our users need!!! If you haven’t work with iPad on a pro environment you cannot understand, but it is a real pane.
these such youtubers are misleading since 2020 after apple included m1 chips in ipads. that time all youtubers were stating apple will improve ipados in upcoming years. these such youtubers made people buy these 300$ worth ipad for 1399§. and now after 4 years of waiting these such youtubers are licking their own saliva now these are defending apple shame
Bro, You’re drunk. Trumpeting the iPad’s weaknesses as strengths. The iPad Pro needs to allow me to do more. I can focus just fine, I don’t need the iPad to limit me to enable me to get work done. Give me a dual boot option. I’ll use macOS when I need to get work done, and you can stick with iPadOS. Everyone’s happy. 🐬
I have a MacBook M1 Max, iPad Pro m2 and an iPhone pro 15......in this case just buy the base surface pro 11....the value for the iPad Pro is no longer there
And then, pay up to five times more for my music apps and other programs/plugins??? I don’t see the “value” of the surface, very good tablet but even more expensive and I don’t like windows. IOS or Android are much simpler to use and get anything done that I want or need.
@@janenmarelia Not really you can't do anything in IPAD OS its a trash system for the CPU ti has and at 1300 all in no thanks. the surface blows it out of the water especially the base version IF I wanted IOS on a tablet ill just buy the next pro max
@@blackice214 😂🤣😂but I don’t think you really red what I wrote, what I meant, the expensive plugins make the value of the Ipad pay for itself and I don’t like Windows or computers in general. And no, the Surface does not blow the Ipad out of the water, maybe for your way of using it but for most people not.
I cant say its a powerhouse, it does no more than my 2018 Pro....and that is the issue. The iOS is not Pro enough....better screena and chips are all under utilised
I always enjoy your content but I have to say this video is way off the mark and short sighted. It’s wonderful that the iPad works for your workflow but I don’t think your workflow represents the average user. I don’t believe the apps you outlined fit your title of ‘powerhouse’ like a CAD program or graphics rendering program does. Touting the lack of true multitasking as a feature has to be a joke. Having an issue with distractions is a separate topic of managing your own focus vs removing the feature to force focus. It’s always better to have the option and not use it. In my workflow I must view a PDF, excel and sometimes Onenote all at the same time on my PC, the iPad misses the mark, and I own the M4. I’m fine with iPadOS being a touch first designed OS but it’s not on parity with Windows or MacOS.
Totally missing the point: We don't need MacOS... we just need *reasonable* capability on the iPad. Example: Just today on my M4 iPad Pro, I wasn't able to change text size/color inside the Apple Notes app!! Something easy to do on the MacOS version. There's some hacks to change visibility of an entire app - but totally lack ability for individual text. As a result, I had to lug my MacBook Pro in addition to my iPad... WTF! There's no reason to *remove* functionality like this, but again-and-again you just keep running into things you can't do on the iPad... so much so I (as a professional) can't trust that this crazy-powerful device can always handle even the simplest of workflows. It's so f'n annoying, IMHO...
During the video I felt suffocated and trapped, but finally the video ended and I went back to working seriously on the Mac with total freedom and joy….
Cringe take. It was just a list of apps that all exist on macos, then his "reason" for choosing the ipad is that it's less capable...and that's what makes it a "powerhouse" 🤡
for me ipad os waste my time everyday because it cant even download in background while making notes. also it cant even upload instagram story in background. it cant even transfer file in background also it doesnt show status of file transfer. i think even 2005 pc can do these things better than ipados
Download from where? You can certainly download apps in the background. Surely anything else you could leave open in a window and let it download in the background. And clearly iPad OS can support background operations and downloads, I found the developer instructions on how to enable it in a few seconds searching online. All the stock Apple apps I tested just now on my iPad mini 6 downloaded things in the background. Can you give any more specifics on your scenario?
@@hxh05g ok then try download file from web version of drive or any cloud service on any browser and then switch to other apps or lock the screen of ipad. Background activity is pnly restricted upto 3-4 mins only
I would like to enjoy and learn from your channel, but you simply talk too fast - slow down and let those watching your content absorb the info you’re giving. I was worn out by the time I got halfway through this one. Seriously, please just try harder not to talk so fast.
TERRIBLE TAKE. The fact that you can't use multiple apps easily is not a pro. Sorry. In which workplace setting do you not need multiple chrome tabs for instance? 😂 iPadOS is a clunky OS. Don't tell me it's not meant to do things that a Mac is meant to do. It's priced like a high end PC or Mac.

Great points, Fernando. I have been 100% iPad Pro since 2019. Just got my 1TB M4 13 inch and it is a beast. I hear the arguments from the majority, but from my perspective, the simplify of iPadOS actually allows me to be more productive. A few years ago, we had to develop a lot of workarounds, now, there is no function I used to do with MacBook that I cannot accomplish on my iPad.

I dont want MacOS. But I want Virtual Machine support like Parallels and run containers like podman or docker.

- put some folders offline, leave it for a day or two, than cut your internet connection and you will find out that you don’t have access to some files, imagine someone taking the plane
- try to open multiple file on the Microsoft 365 app
- from Word Excel, PPT you can just read a few characters of the file name, which makes it super difficult to find the file you are searching for, imagine when you have more than 100 files on that folder
- try to sort files from office apps, a pain…
- sometimes the apps they just crash with heavy documents, losing hours of work!
- documents even the numbers of pages not showing the same on laptop and iPad with large documents, it looses control
- etc just so bad user experience!
In our company we have more than 200 iPads, with the above issues imagine how much support our users need!!! If you haven’t work with iPad on a pro environment you cannot understand, but it is a real pane.
This video is a mess lol the chapters do not match what is happening in the video...
IOS is technically a ported over MacOS haha
Well based on MacOS but now MacOS is adopting stuff from iOS
lol you’re gonna start a riot talking like that.
Even printing documents from ipad os is more complicated than doing it from a Mac.
Ahhh I remembered I used that light bulb wallpaper on my old laptop😂
PhD student here. I respectfully disagree given my usage. MBP is used for productivity.
You seem like real Apple fan boy
these such youtubers are misleading since 2020 after apple included m1 chips in ipads. that time all youtubers were stating apple will improve ipados in upcoming years. these such youtubers made people buy these 300$ worth ipad for 1399§. and now after 4 years of waiting these such youtubers are licking their own saliva now these are defending apple shame
Pff I couldn’t keep on listening. A hurricane of words
It’s better because it can’t do as much. Nice.
Apple should just let all M1/2/4 iPad support macOS, then it becomes the most productive iPad ever.
Bro, You’re drunk. Trumpeting the iPad’s weaknesses as strengths.
The iPad Pro needs to allow me to do more. I can focus just fine, I don’t need the iPad to limit me to enable me to get work done.
Give me a dual boot option. I’ll use macOS when I need to get work done, and you can stick with iPadOS. Everyone’s happy. 🐬
12:04 how is 2/4 + 2 = 4?? did anyone else got uncomfortable with this answer?? is apple ai even working right at this point???!
Who made these chapter names? Completely off putting
I'm sorry but your defense of the iPad's lack of multitasking (going as far as to call it a "superpower") just completely misses the mark
Apple propaganda.
Cap
I know right. All of these apps can be done on older iPads.
ipados needs a lot of improvement. otherwise its just iphone with large display nothing new that make both os different
I have a MacBook M1 Max, iPad Pro m2 and an iPhone pro 15......in this case just buy the base surface pro 11....the value for the iPad Pro is no longer there
And then, pay up to five times more for my music apps and other programs/plugins???
I don’t see the “value” of the surface, very good tablet but even more expensive and I don’t like windows.
IOS or Android are much simpler to use and get anything done that I want or need.
@@janenmarelia Not really you can't do anything in IPAD OS its a trash system for the CPU ti has and at 1300 all in no thanks.
the surface blows it out of the water especially the base version IF I wanted IOS on a tablet ill just buy the next pro max
@@blackice214 😂🤣😂but I don’t think you really red what I wrote, what I meant, the expensive plugins make the value of the Ipad pay for itself and I don’t like Windows or computers in general.
And no, the Surface does not blow the Ipad out of the water, maybe for your way of using it but for most people not.
I cant say its a powerhouse, it does no more than my 2018 Pro....and that is the issue.
The iOS is not Pro enough....better screena and chips are all under utilised
.... chapters are incorrect. He just copied and pasted from a previous video.
The Apple Mail app doesn't have a snooze feature, does it? Without snooze, it's really not a proper email app.
It does but that’s a minor feature
Yes, it does
@@davidaalves You're saying that Apple Mail DOES have a snooze feature?
@@gerawan yeah. They call it “Remind me”
He just called an iPad a computer
I always enjoy your content but I have to say this video is way off the mark and short sighted. It’s wonderful that the iPad works for your workflow but I don’t think your workflow represents the average user. I don’t believe the apps you outlined fit your title of ‘powerhouse’ like a CAD program or graphics rendering program does. Touting the lack of true multitasking as a feature has to be a joke. Having an issue with distractions is a separate topic of managing your own focus vs removing the feature to force focus. It’s always better to have the option and not use it. In my workflow I must view a PDF, excel and sometimes Onenote all at the same time on my PC, the iPad misses the mark, and I own the M4. I’m fine with iPadOS being a touch first designed OS but it’s not on parity with Windows or MacOS.
Totally missing the point: We don't need MacOS... we just need *reasonable* capability on the iPad. Example: Just today on my M4 iPad Pro, I wasn't able to change text size/color inside the Apple Notes app!! Something easy to do on the MacOS version. There's some hacks to change visibility of an entire app - but totally lack ability for individual text. As a result, I had to lug my MacBook Pro in addition to my iPad... WTF! There's no reason to *remove* functionality like this, but again-and-again you just keep running into things you can't do on the iPad... so much so I (as a professional) can't trust that this crazy-powerful device can always handle even the simplest of workflows. It's so f'n annoying, IMHO...
these chapters don't reflect the actual video
Yea, bro. Ya'll have the same chapters from the last video. Gotta fix that @9to5Mac
👍👍
During the video I felt suffocated and trapped, but finally the video ended and I went back to working seriously on the Mac with total freedom and joy….
macOS sucks compared to iPadOS
ipad os is handicapped
Cringe take. It was just a list of apps that all exist on macos, then his "reason" for choosing the ipad is that it's less capable...and that's what makes it a "powerhouse" 🤡
for me ipad os waste my time everyday because it cant even download in background while making notes. also it cant even upload instagram story in background. it cant even transfer file in background also it doesnt show status of file transfer. i think even 2005 pc can do these things better than ipados
File transfers show in iPadOS since version 16
Download from where? You can certainly download apps in the background. Surely anything else you could leave open in a window and let it download in the background. And clearly iPad OS can support background operations and downloads, I found the developer instructions on how to enable it in a few seconds searching online. All the stock Apple apps I tested just now on my iPad mini 6 downloaded things in the background. Can you give any more specifics on your scenario?
@@hxh05g ok then try download file from web version of drive or any cloud service on any browser and then switch to other apps or lock the screen of ipad. Background activity is pnly restricted upto 3-4 mins only
@@hxh05g try moving files between different drives in background while doing other task on other app
@@chidorirasenganz i am talking about reasonable update that shows file transfer in background
These apps are trash
I would like to enjoy and learn from your channel, but you simply talk too fast - slow down and let those watching your content absorb the info you’re giving. I was worn out by the time I got halfway through this one. Seriously, please just try harder not to talk so fast.
So out of touch, it’s sad!!
TERRIBLE TAKE. The fact that you can't use multiple apps easily is not a pro. Sorry. In which workplace setting do you not need multiple chrome tabs for instance? 😂
iPadOS is a clunky OS.
Don't tell me it's not meant to do things that a Mac is meant to do. It's priced like a high end PC or Mac.
jajajaaja fanboy
Where can I find those wallpapers?
