I had to be honest with myself. I’ve had an iPad Pro for years but the only thing I really use it for is procreate. Now that other tablets have caught up and various drawing apps are available, I really don’t need it. I think the mini is really the best product for iPad use for me.
The iPad is a big iPhone or humongous iPod touch. I have one to do things I don’t want to do on my phone. Ex, I don’t play games, no social media, no video/movie content on my phone. All done on my iPad. When I need work done I use my laptop. Each device has its purpose. I will say I use my iPad the most throughout the day.
I only bought an ipad cause my education place only uses ipads and I wanted to backup my stuff Its Sedondhand baby apples not getting my money from this 😊
I was thinking of getting it for art purposes, but I just can't be asked to transfer from Paint Tool SAi to Procreate, even if I keep seeing the damn thing everywhere that and since I've been on Windows and Android for a long time, I'm not a fan of Apple being limiting in terms of accessibility to transferring files and such, not just connect to USB and that's it. but idk, maybe the Apple ecosystem just isn't my cup of tea especially with how it's been lately 😅
Can I ask what computings task you do with it most?Im genuinely interested. Since I started using Adobe again I've purchased an iPad mini to use mostly as a graphics tablet and I do have a keyboard for it which makes it a great little note taking device too.
@@WhenWillILearn I use my iPad for some basic household accounting tasks using Apple Numbers & and app called Money by Jumsoft. I create documents using Apple Pages as well as lots of note taking using Apple Notes. I also do email, web browsing, media consumption & things like that. I hope that helps.

Most of the things that an iPad can do other tablets can and do better. The only advantage are the (few) exclusive apps. Exclusive due to Apple Money. And even then, those are available for PC or even a Mac and it's way more worthy.
iPads specially Pro models are kind of a waste of money. Because it's still an overpowered tablet. If you told me it can run Mac OS natively then maybe it would be worth it. But for all the accessories you would be paying the price of a MacBook.
i thought about getting ipad for travel, to watch things and play stuff on the train when you just sit there for 5 hours... phone is a bit too small for that (i have iphone 12 mini), would be fun to draw, watch stuff etc. but ehh its expensivee
It is, I ended up caving after getting rid of the ipad pro 11 and picking up a mini. It's taken over from my graphics tablet as the tool for photo retouching and it is nice to travel with.
I have the same feelings about it. Got both 12.9 M1 and simple 9th gen, but really - can't find any use for it, except maybe some mindless content browsing. But a glorified RU-vid machine for $1000 is a waste of money. Browsing webpages, searching for info is both not fast and not convenient on it, sound and screen is nice for sure. But usability is pretty lackluster. Android ones seem to be even worse. Subscriptions models for apps seem to be because many of apps require certain cloud infrastructure and people to maintain it. So companies offload operational costs on their customers.
Yeah, I think the 2015 MBP is definitely worth the refresh. It's such a great laptop. I have mine configured to boot natively into 3 different OS's - MacOS, Windows 10, and Fedora Linux. There are community patches, like Open Core Patcher, that will allow you to run the latest OS's with the latest security updates. It was the last great keyboard, there's no annoying Touch Bar, it has all the right ports (except USB-C). It's also the last MacBook that has a user upgradable SSD (but you'll need your original or an OEM from the same exact model to upgrade the firmware for OS's beyond Big Sur. After that, you can put any SSD in and upgrade to Monterey). It's really hard to justify spending so much on the newer MacBooks with all the upgrade abilities. As far as vacuuming your computer, I've done it with no harm, but you really shouldn't. The worry is static electricity frying something on your motherboard. A small amount can do a lot of damage, and it's particularly hard to troubleshoot. They make special vacuums for this task, but if you're not repairing computers for pay, or rich beyond logic, it's likely not worth the investment. Compressed air is a better bet.
I’ve had a couple of iPad Pros, I have the M11” Pro currently. And I am comfortable in stating it is nothing more than a larger iPhone. And nothing more. Having the Apple M chip is a total waste of time, and whilst it may do some fancy video editing, it lacks any decent ability with emails being use it’s based on a mobile phone platform.
I’m not even going to watch this video and claim that you do need it! I have an iPhone and a Mac book pro and I still use it more than all my gadgets. Imagine having a portable tv at your dispense.
After the iPad with keyboard and trackpad, I struggle to draw a line between an iPad and MacBook for daily tasks. In 2010, iPad and MacBook were very different.
I could prove to you, that the best iphone camera, can't compete with a 15 yr old DSLR, that costs peanuts. It's like saying can a Toyota Aygo beat a Ferrari in a race, they're completely different things.
I can say yes, because camera brands focus more on cameras, for iPhones, their focus is divided into many things starting from software, screen and others
Heya, yeah that's how they came out, I don't think the files would handle any messing. I went over the settings I used in the video. There aren't a lot of options on it though
Good video but skip the first 5 mins. The best (and only bit) is from that point onwards. The video could have been 2 minutes long but nevertheless a good video.
Very nice video! I recognise myself in these issues as well, an iPad is just not there (yet) for a lot of more advanced workflows. I tried, really tried, but it annoys me so much and makes a lot of things that are very straightforward on Mac just a lot slower. You explained everything very calmly and honest, without any over the top production. Keep it up! :)
I need to do a follow up on the iPad video. I’ve been using the mini now for quite a lot of video and graphics work and I really like it now. Thanks for watching!
OMG me thinking IPad was made for creative work like photo and video 🙈... So it seems other than being fancy better would be gonjust for a easy to move laptop
I’ve been finding recently that an ipad is a nice addition to a laptop but it is not able to replace it for me. There are still limitations on the software that are deal breakers
This is great! You put in a lot of work on this edit and it shows. Your product shots are on point. I usually just get to shoot e-commerce style only, flat and boring. Volume is the key to growth in our industry, everything does not has to be top pay. It is funny you spray and pray too, I have had people I shot 1000 shots of and only a handful their face looks normal. I would hire you in a heartbeat if you were here in the states. When is the next one? February 2024?
The iPad category will continue to decline until a plausible foldable screen solution is invented. Up until now, I have very low expectation for it to happen in the next 5 years.
You really do not need an iPad. It really all comes down to if A) you have the money to spend. Right now, it is crucial to save your money. If all you do is browse the web and watch RU-vid and shows, you’re better off with a cheaper but at least decent 1080p android tablet. Better yet, if you are in school, spend your money on a $400 dollar laptop. The laptop is 100x better than the iPad and you can do more things on a laptop vs on iPad. The iPad has limitations. Do you really need to spend $600 on an iPad Air? Do you really need to spend 1k for an iPad Pro just because it sounds great and refresh rate is great? The refresh rate only matters in browser the web and the UI. If you are watching RU-vid videos, the refresh rate goes to 60 and not 120. Get a lightweight laptop and be happy with you Invested in. Take good care of it and it will last long. You will thank yourself that you did not spend 1k for an iPad, with additional fees for magical keyboard, magical pen and a magical apple warranty that YOU still have to pay a deductible lol! My investment really went to an iPhone and I use an android tablet to watch videos and online learning. I bought an iPad 9th gen in 2021 and I regret it and returned it. I rarely used the iPad and I ended up saving money in the long run. Save your money! You do not need an iPad. You really don’t.
I bought iPad recently for the purpose of painting, drawing & video editing in FCP on the go. but after I bought and check everything is subscription based. I was so sad I mean first you pay too much money to buy this thing then you pay a subscription price every month to use software. waste of money for people who hate subscription.
The irony of this video is that I just bought an iPad mini with the sole intent of using it to tether directly to capture one, but once I got it i decided to try the free version of Davinci resolve and I loved using it. It has some limitations on the mini that it doesn't on the m1/m2 models but it's still really decent. I hate hate hate subscription software so I wasn't really interested in trying fcp on the iPad. Thanks for watching!!
Don't buy an iPad. Many people will buy it with the intention of doing productive stuff like writing important notes, doing graphical or video-editing-related stuff, etc. - but in the end all everyone does is wasting time with it. During the pandemic I wasted a good chunk of my time endlessly watching videos on the sofa or playing mindless games without a goal. As soon as I realized this (sadly, only after the pandemic) I sold it.
This, plus if you want to take notes you are far better if with a laptop, or one of those e ink writing tablets which actually seem to do MORE with note taking, and they have no distractions.
I am in the same boat! My channel is locked up from monetizing currently, from the 2019 mass demonetizing youtube did. They claimed I posted reused content, yet it was all 100% original. Now I need 4,000 watch hours to appeal. So all my new video vlogs are for me to grow and to help others. I currently lose time and have no revenue coming in. I want to help people see all the work that goes into being a freelancer or a small production company. I wish you all the best!
