12.9" M1 iPad Pro Ultimate Review after 1 Month - No More Excuses.. 

ABSOLUTELY AGREED . GREAT REVIEW . Can you make a similar video of SAMSUNG S7+ or S8 about what can you do with it , as a laptop replacement

I honestly can’t wait to get my hands on it. Says ships early July so hopefully mid July I get it. I have the 1st iPad Pro and love it. I still have it but my brother’s dog pulled the cable and knocked it off the table and when I went to repair the screen it’s still messed up and opens/closes apps and act like I didn’t push the screen for something and acts like it’s possessed so my Father’s Day gift was this 12.9” version. I was a trucker so I used the iPad Pro for work because my company used an app for our logbooks and then of course with the cell service version I used it as my gps and entertainment screen. I always used Gmaps and had maybe 2 issues where I went on city roads not graded for the weight of the truck but I drove past it quick and was fine. Other than that, Spotify and gmaps were great then lunch and bedtime using it watching movies and tv shows were great since I used magnets to hold it on the dash of the truck in perfect view for me to see while driving if I needed a quick glance for directions and on the closet sidewall I put magnets and they were plenty strong enough to hold it while still in the otterbox case and just wish the screen wasn’t messed up or else I wouldn’t upgrade. My wife and I box got the airtags and upgraded to the iPhone 12s and so with the “newer” model of the MacBook pros the iPad upgrade was read and a perfect case so when we take our 2yo around we can use that screen to help with learning reading simple small books to beautiful bright movies like despicable me 2 and all those yellow and purple minions.

Bro,you covers all those every topic which I want to see 😁you might reading my mind🙄

Of course they don’t want the iPad Pro to be a true Pro device because they still want you to buy a Mac. I completely agree with everything you’ve said here, sell your M1 iPad Pro. The iPad Pro is now nearly $3,000 which is $1,000 more than what I paid for my 27” 5K iMac. Apple just put the M1 in the iPad Pro for some clever marketing making people buy it in hopes that iPadOS 15 would be a game changer before disappointing everyone then it’s too late to return it. That’s why I didn’t buy an M1 iPad Pro and definitely won’t be buying a new iPad Pro for a good few years. Stick with the 2018.

@Traveler videos 23 🎥 The 11” iPad Pro will be a huge upgrade for you. I’d also consider the iPad Air 4.

I also think that we need to remember that Apple is a corporation. We need to ask, why would Apple do such a thing? For instance, Since Apple sells a $6000 display, why would Apple sell something that would make their $6000 display irrelevant. If we think about these things then maybe we won’t be surprised when Apple makes these decisions.

@@alsoulmusic the answer is: it wouldn’t. People who needs a $6000 monitor will get it. People who can’t, well… after this instead of getting an iPad will maybe get an Asus Pro Art or something like it. People like you lacks common sense.

@@alsoulmusic The display is 5 grand, not 6.

@@alsoulmusic I disagree strongly with this. A $6000 display is a much larger display than a tiny 12.9" display. Under no circumstance is a large $6000 display becoming "irrelevant" just because a tiny 12.9" display can do *some* of what it can. The heavy lift will still have to be done by a larger display, when the user is back home from the field.

@@Tom_Stevens617 It's slightly over $8,000USD in Norway.

Perfect analogy!

I still think the real reason to use M1 in the iPad was supply.

Facts !

but made a $1m movie to sell the old game as the new game ;-)

@@Galgomite what do you mean?

@Laguna Bum where do you get the impression that I follow things I hate?

Yeah

Here here! Perfect comment. Yes, Thx for praise and criticism where due. This is THE BEST video on the subject. The nuance of tech details here just helped make my final decision. I've been waffling and researching for weeks. This compelled me to buy a Galaxy S7 or 8 or older iPad 11. I've felt for a few years that we're getting so much power we won't really have the need for it. 80% of normal use is fine with technology from even 5 years ago!

At the end of the day what do u expect from a new phone? a better camera, display, a little bit faster performance and a few new quirky features here and there…

At least be grateful. It has better features than the 8

I got an iPhone 12pro because I know I can use it for the next 3-5 years without worrying about if it'll work. That's Apple's new appeal.

@@sergioyichiong7269 I mean, that’s kinda my whole point.

GRATEFUL? That person paid a lot of money for said device, they didn't steal it (I assume lol). Why would they be grateful for something that sounds amazing but in reality doesn't do anything special?

You're right Serge. It's like they all took the same masterclass on how to get more viewers... Copycats! LOL

Max is notorious for this. Just saw his video comparing this t the M1 MacBook Air. He was complimenting the iPad Pro so much and now watching this video, he's getting rid of it. He is also the guy who makes videos that start "Wait, we were wrong". He seems to be wrong a lot. Feel bad for the peeps who buy products based on his videos only to find out a month later that he was "wrong".

@@ronin120 of course this channel is lacking in original idea

@@NCSTalkid What if he is original and others the copy cat?

lol so true

Thank you my friend, I actually pumped the speed to 2X as well.

i think you ae correct but you could say the same thing about a car:). In my very humble opinion I think what has happened over time is this “apple tech” space has gotten so crowded that people are not thinking about buying a laptop or ipad, ect and thinking in my everyday work does this help me? In my world the ipad pro helps me with drawing, creating logos, ect. So to me it helps me make money and thats all that matrers. So many people get hung up on geekbench scores, ect that they think these computers are going to think for them. I will say it until the end of time. For not all but most people an ipad pro can be a computer replacement. It can. The issue is the people on ytube that really are the 5-10% it can not and will not. They hace the loudest voice and therefore here we are. His points on here are well taken and make sense do not get me wrong. I own an agency and we now have mba m1 and imac m1 and they kick ass. Super snappy and smooth editing video, designing magazines ect. It really feels sometimes like when I used to do commercial photography. People would get so ensnarled in the latest greatest lens, ect that they kinda forgot what they were actually doing an tbh alot of them were just pervs taking pictures of “models”. All this being said the max tech guy makes good points and again this is aimed at a small percentage of users BUT if that is true why not make it ok for them. Those types will still have a mac. To me the most exciting feature coming out of os 15 is universal control because as much as sidecar is nice when traveling the screen is mini me size and having the ability to draw on ipad and bring it over is great. Hopefully apple finally brings it all together.

@@roguewavecreative just FYI, it's "etc", not "ect". Not a flame, just that reading it throws off the sentence.

@@andyH_England Ya you're right, this mentality can be applied to all tech and expensive products that's why the only ones worth buying are those that give you value and make you feel like you spent your money well.

My experience is that you need to think carefully of your needs before you purchase, ipad OS and a recent iPad Pro can fulfil most of my computer requirements, does it replace the Mac, No but then it does many tasks better than a Mac…

@@ArbitraryFilmings Ya Mr. Obvious, I'm referring to the last part of your speech as a rule of thumb. Paying more for performance is worth it only if you get value out if it...

Stomping… Koopas!

It’s actually a good thing! Means it’s so powerful the app developers haven’t caught up yet

@@bennydufresne8994 No, its not.

I want one not for the cpu, but for the size and screen. But it’s more of a want not a need, my 11 inch pro is still plenty for me to be honest

@@bennydufresne8994 It’s only because apple forbids them from doing so? You understand they have a hard limit the devs are allowed to use which literally prevents developers from ever actually leveraging the tech. Therefore artificially throttling and limiting the performance on a desktop level chip.

Since iOS 15 apps can use up to 12GB ram

Apple does this with all its software. You only have to look at the'notch' and the ipod designs to know they are ripping people off.

You should buy what you want without being influenced by someone else who bought it only to make a video which makes cash saying he wants to return it. It’s a game: and you are falling for it.

@@2004cyrusNah not really because the exact thing he’s saying he wants to return it for is the reason we don’t want to buy it bro lol We want to be able to use it as our main device but it’s limitations make that impossible. So another device would be needed no matter what which makes us just buy that device instead. The video is valid my guy it’s no “game” being played to “trick” into not getting what we want😂Nobody is being persuaded to not do what they want. We wanted some truthful facts about the product and got them. Why do people like you think everybody is being “played” all the time except you? Smh crazy world man ctfuuu

Someone said the same thing on another iPad pro review video.

These “frustrated” people knew what they were buying and decided to shoot themselves in the foot. 🙄 should have just waited to see what ipados 15 was like if you were anticipating make it or break it features. Not to mention it doesn’t even officially release until fall, you don’t buy a $2k iPad to install developer beta software for “productivity”.

I’m actually sick of seeing this comment, its on every single m1 review.

@@kepler22-b thats because everyone is complaining about the same thing. they want "pro" apps on the ipad, but bought the new m1 ipad at a time when what they wanted didnt exist. people are mad that they got what they paid for.

@@melvinbrookins6313 it’s more the fact that every review there’s one comment that’s identical to this, the comment is literally like look at me how smart I am with this extreme knowledge… not really it’s common sense ffs

If they put macos to iPad what would be difference between both devices?

@@JohnnyBravo42 they want you to buy an ipad and a mac

@@JohnnyBravo42 There would be little difference in terms of productivity. It would undercut their MacBooks. More people would probably choose iPads for versatility and portability.

EXACTLY!

Dude you are super good at summerizing.

Maybe in future apple will add some extra features from mac os or just transfer macos to iPad. Imo this second cant be real because what would be difference between this both devices? Touch?..

Which is weird, since thats what apple was always about. Worse on paper, but better and fester in actual use. Now they flex their chip and do the same as the rest. Lets hope they get their shit together and make ios 16 better for ipads

That is the reason I prefer my Windows laptop for everyday work. Yes Windows PC are slower but functionality is better. It takes much less learning than iPadOS. Apple just like to introduce new features without explaining how to use it IN DETAILS. Productivity suffers when need to learn new workflow procedure. I love my iPad air 4 but I can’t use it for serious work.

Reason I actually am more happier with my iPad 9th Gen than when I got my iPad Pro. The Promotion display is nice but having to do exactly everything the iPad Pro does at much cheaper price is what makes owning a regular iPad so satisfying

Moral of the story: only an idiot would buy a tablet expecting to get real work done.

The iPad Air is a great device the pro is for more niche users in my opinion

That’s awesome!! 😊 The only MAJOR issue with the Air 4 is it’s only $20 cheaper then the 11 Inch iPad Pro (assuming you go with 256GB over the 64GB option).

Lol, so damn true🥲

Unless you live in 2017 or something, this is definitely more than a 'large' iPhone.

Lolz apple gonna regret when half of the people who brought this thing returns it or sells it lol...

lArgE iPhoNe get a new phrase troll

Frankly, all I'm waiting for is for Apple to release a device like this running the full-fledged macOS Big Sur. With support for full-fledged mouse/keyboard friendly macOS Desktop apps, pen/touch friendly iPadOS/iOS apps, and with a UI that transforms depending on which form the device is in (just like what Samsung offers on their Tab S line with DeX mode). The moment they do that, that will gladly be the true upgrade to my Surface Pro 2, and my first ever Mac/iPad. Can't settle for ANY mono device having experienced the Surface Pro line, and certainly can't settle for this oversized-iPhone experience.

They've been doing this from the start.

iPads were never as good as macs.

"Why, Apple?!" - You realise you've already answered that question right?? Because: "instead of spending $6k on a XDR display to grade HDR content, I could use an iPad Pro"

It’s called being a for profit company and one with shareholders who expect year over year growth.

Pro Tik Tok creator here. Maybe you just sign documents all day long. Typical fanboy

Wow... spoken as a true Apple fan. Apple must love you; and by you I actually mean your money. "[...] I do think I am pro. At least my bank account does"... just LOL. Thanks for the laugh. Just to be clear, I am not arguing against your points. If the iPad is what you truly enjoy using and it fits you, then by all means. But, once you try flexing on people with your bank account statement as justification for your purchase.. just lmfao.

@@Poisoned2010 You’re right.

Maybe it is a matter of English not being my first language, but I don’t see I justify anything with my bank account. I just think that I can claim to be a professional if I make my money by what I do. That is all I tied to say

@@abmk4157 every single person on the planet that makes money is called a professional with that logic. But when a device is specifically targeted towards professionals, they’re typically not talking about every single person on the planet that makes money lol. Rather it’s for device power users.

iPad could truly be the computer of the future. Everything you will ever need in one device.

Somebody clearly didn’t watch the video, iPad does have the potential to be the computer of the future, but it definitely is not this iPad or at least not this version of iPadOS. Computer of the future implies most people have absolutely no reason to hop back to a mac, windows, or linux machine for certain tasks. Unless iPadOS competes with MacOS, Windows, or Linux in terms of functionality, this is still just a roided out tablet and I will still want it, but as a tablet.

@@FinnDarius some people are already living in the future. not me, not even 5% of me, though iPhone XS Max was a good upgrade from my iPhone 5, very happy, though would love to have had the magnets of iPhone 12, but then again, the iPhone 12 and everything that comes next is a brick if it gets damaged, and Apple will charge you and arm and a leg to fix it, 3rd party fixers will not be able to fix much at all ;-)

Steve Jobs was the master of these games.

As an ipad pro 12.9 user myself. The thing tht i hate is even after many updates not all apps support horizontal view some app are vertical by default. The ipad is not tht light fyi so its kind of annoying

Mac isn’t a “computer”, it’s a “mac” :)

If ipad could be a mac replacement what's mac then?

@@yeehaw9460 indeed it is, that’s why I did not call them the same thing. iPads being computer replacements still removes market share from Macs, and 2, I don’t think iPad can be a good computer replacement for similar reasons: I don’t think you can extend to multiple monitors (I think it only mirrors content for some reason). I also don’t think iPads have the full computer version of applications like Excel and R studio.

Dude they were iPad Pro is truly computer replacement,All what you have to do is buy MacBook first 😂 then use iPad as mirror boom 🤯 what’s a computer.

@@yeehaw9460 It's a computer please don't be disingenuous

The bigger problem for me is the TB speed. Why limiting it to a fraction of the Mac speed?

The price doesn't matter here. You get the same status bar on the $300 budget iPad. The extra $1700 you spent was for the hardware, so you don't get to complain about the software being the same.

@@Tom_Stevens617 No you do, the whole problem with the pro is software. The problem is explicitly that the hardware isn't being used to its "pro" capabilities. The 5gb RAM limitation makes this glaringly obvious, along with everything else mentioned in this video, and the lack of software flexibility provided by an actual computer. As ever, the iPad Pro fails to live up to being a professionally competitive device.

@@Tom_Stevens617 actually, of the software doesn't optimize the $1700 hardware, you can and should complain

@@courtenayblair2279 I agree, but then wouldn't optimized software for the M1 iPad Pro be too heavy to run on the budget iPad and iPad Mini?

@@andyH_England It's his channel, he can recommend or un-recommend anything he wants. Other thing is that your reasoning is way off.

@@andyH_England the 2018 and 2020 iterations got plenty of criticism. Some of which lead to the improvements both devices now enjoy on the software side. Did RU-vidrs get WWDC massively wrong? Absolutely. But Apple also knowingly lead them on. Even if they did not promise anything, they knew what they’re doing. Hence why it’s still worth criticizing their product strategy because ultimately its not about what Apple is promising. It’s about users getting the best experience they can pay for. And history will show often criticism becomes a better product in the future. This is all coming from a happy 2020 iPad Pro user. But that does not mean there are still things I’d love to see expanded on the software side so I welcome the criticism.

@@andyH_England exactly... This max guy is a weird fanboy... He acts like a fanboy but then suddenly starts yelling what others say 😂😂

@@czaynej1051 that I can understand. It can get quite repetitive. Then again some times it takes that kind of amplification in order for things to change. That remains to be seen in this case.

Yup

what do u need that kind of setup for

@@talkhtw55 just got the iPad for college, there’s little use for it though.. i use sidecar, apple pencil sketching and that’s about it

@@ArminNemeth99 i wanted to get it for university but then thought like..meh why

@@talkhtw55 yeah, we’ll see, i got it to complete the ecosystem 😂, still for $300 it’s not bad

I also have a 2nd gen and honestly couldn't tell the age. I guess it depends on your use case but I use mine for research and photo editing.

I'm going to wait for thier m2 chip, which should come out this year and I'm keeping my Samsung 7+ tablet... just in case.

Second Gen iPad Pro shows no sign of age for me, but I primarily got it for the 120hz refresh rate and larger screen size so that side by side multitasking was usable. For my use case it’s performing just as well as the day I got it. I don’t see a reason to upgrade especially given the extortionately prices, but admittedly great magic keyboard. I like upgrading hardware often but I just can’t justify replacing the iPad Pro yet. I think the problem is a lot of Apples older devices are still more than good enough. I upgraded my iPhone 11 Pro Max to the iPhone 13 equivalent as a family member wanted by iPhone 11. The MagSafe charging is the only upgrade that makes a difference in my day to day use.

@@busyjt my sentiments exactly. It’s still my daily driver and as nice as the hardware is on the M1’s the 2nd Gen is still a strong performer. Cheers!

I have 10,5" pro and Im changing for M1 pro, because its throttling, touch is not as responsible as I would wish and the battery is kinda weird. Also my lovely rabbit did make sure that it fell on display and it's cracked now haha. I bought it like year ago used, and if it didn't have those problems, I would keep it as well, the performance is otherwise enough for my drawing. Guess it would make laptop replacement for my mom.

Cuz u could barely tell a difference between the new one and the 4th gen in most circumstances Which was NOT expected The screen only really gets better looking for hdr content, which is a rarity for me at least. And the os holds back the chip so much u could barely tell a difference from the a12z in EVERY scenario I’m not hating, I’m just waiting for oled iPad b4 Apple gets my money

The iPad is falsely advertised as a ‘computer replacement’. it’s all a marketing scam. I wish I could sell mine too, it doesn’t even have a file system.

We all know why: they are a fan of a product or manufacturer (or they own the same product) and when someone says something bad about their purchase decision, it feels bad. The ego gets hurt, they even take it as an attack. The reaction is defence. It’s natural.

Truth hurts

some people associate themselves with Apple. they think they are a true 'Apple fan' who only believes in Apple way of doing things and innovating things. They found satisfaction and fetish in picking Apple brand as if they are living to support their favourite soccer/basketball team. and yea sometimes they sucks

Wifi or wifi + cellular?

The 2018 is only $200 less than a new 2021 pro on eBay

There are cheap do-everything devices out there, they are called foldable windows laptops 👌

Well apple is only playing money game

Thinking the same actually, for the demand on pro users they would need to make iPad ProOS 🤷‍♂️

Don’t they already do that to an extent on Macs and iPhones? www.google.ca/amp/s/9to5mac.com/2021/06/14/ios-15-exclusive-features-newer-iphones/amp/

@@andyH_England tht was becoz they were hoping ipadOS on the new PRO wud hv macOS-like capability considering it is running on the same chip n abt the price, yes it is true it is the price of the hardware, but wht is the point of having such a powerful hardware if you cant tap its potential ??

@@andyH_England bcs at that time it was just marketed as a tablet (despite whats a computer and that useless stuff) bcs it had the A series chip and it was great for what it was. The new one, though better than that, still sucks. It still has all those grt features, but then what is diff in this one except the M1, which cant even be taken advantage of?

@@andyH_England Pretty sure most of the complaints are about the high-end 12.9 inch. The ram complaint doesn't even make a ton of sense for the lower end iPad Pro... given the OS will chew a chunk of RAM itself, as well as holding some things in background, you would get like 5.9 or 6.something GB of RAM, for a single app, at most. the limits on the 16GB model are non-nonsensical. Most consumers think more is better. I have a buddy who games and decided he should put 64 GB of RAM in his system. There are people who will buy this and think they are getting some benefits of more RAM, and it is disingenuous for Apple to sell that configuration. I don't think anyone is suggesting the Air is a replacement for a 12.9" pro. This video recommended the 11" iPad Pro instead. Very fair suggestion.

😂

@@29kalel, I didn’t say apps needed to use 100% of the ram. If the system needs roughly 2.7GB of ram (seems excessive for a tablet), that leaves a lot more than 5GB available on the 16GB models. Apps you use may be fine with minimal ram. For those working in 3D, more ram means more polygons in a scene. Having the ability to create more complex scenes on iPad would be great, and it’s what we expected from these iPads, and Apple intentionally made that impossible.

The only problem with 16GB RAM is you will pay for it to have a TB storage but you don't need it.

@@29kalel did you snack on lead paint as a child?

Apple has it together it’s the ecosystem. Never did Apple point out the iPad will be an alternative or some form of replacement for the MacBook, pple just speculated and hoped for that considering the amount of power the thing has. Business wise the move would have killed the MacBook Air. It would have been nice but business is profits.

@@gage8545 Unlike desktop OSes, iPad OS can't use virtual memory on disk, so apps have to fit completely into RAM. 8 GB on a MacBook goes a long way compared to an iPad.

Not a perfect solution for everyone, but the AppStore has Some options, like shiftscreen for example. It will remove the black bars when connected to an external display.

You should need no extra app for functionality for a device that costs that much. It’s absurd, apple has dropped the ball

Only if you really think you need to plug a beautiful screen into another screen.

@@jacksmith5045 $1100 is not absurd for an ultra-thin and portable device which can rival the performance of some $1500 desktops and basically has a miniaturized version of a monitor worth 5 grand.

@Tweed Penguin Other than file management, iPadOS is still leagues ahead of Tab Android.

thank you!! finally someone usderstands

Yeah, I somewhat agree with you, I think if Apple didn't out M1 on the iPad Pros then people would have been more than happy with iPadOS 15, but again... now someone can use all the adobe apps, luma fusion, procreate and stuff like that with greater power. I think Apple had planned to put M1 in iPad Pro when they launched iPad Air 4, because it was almost as good as the A12Z iPad Pro.

Check out our 11” review 😉

@@MaxTechOfficial nah now shoo 😂

apple said "it has the same m1 chip", "16g of ram" and "look at the display specs" then artificially limited its use for no reason. yes, buyer beware but with apple they know the implications and specifically chose to make the ipad have poor software support.

Oh god. I heard this same crap in the camera world about Canon crippling their camera line to raise demand for their cinema line garbage. Guess what, Apple is a business. Having tiers and markets is what business is all about. It's funny how many people seem to miss this in their every day life. Why is a VW not as good as a Porsche? Same thing dude - different price points and/or different markets. The iPad is not a macbook and a macbook is not an iPad. They work very differently. There is a reason that most all-in-one Windows laptops are neither great laptops, nor great tablets. They are just a compromise, and additionally, the companies that make them are failing at marketing in a way that Apple does not. Apple is one of the biggest tech companies on earth for a reason. I heard it all in the camera marketplace for years. People who need cinema cameras do not buy mirrorless cameras. Period. There is a reason why Canon is the biggest camera company in the world too. Take some years in Marketing and Finance in University and you'll understand how this all works, instead of resorting to conspiracy theories that most people do (lazy minded ones anyway).

Absolutely agree!!! The experience of using it is incomparable…

Yeah I know, I just want better software support tbh, clip studio paint for example is literally the desktop version but on ipad, and works wonderfully with the pen, even on 10-11inch screens. With many M1 Mac software now running natively, there's no excuse to not offer those on ipad if someone needs it. For me, technology is about having options, so apple's "my way or no way" of doing things and purposely tripping the ipad's potential really bugs me.

@@RunForPeace-hk1cu Apple got extremely close on the hardware end with the M1 unifying the iPad and Mac chips, as well as the ergonomic masterpiece (compared to the Surface keyboards, at least) that is the Magic Keyboard. It’s really a shame that the only reason why they can’t actually make it work is the software. And it’s not like Apple can’t do software right. Honestly speaking, if there’s anyone who can actually perfect a touch-cursor UI, it would be Apple. Their gigantic userbase, extreme vertical integration, ludicrous R&D budget, and lack of fear in implementing (or removing) features puts them in the best (and maybe the only) possible spot to experiment and mass-acclimatise people to a paradigm shift in UX and UI. Heck, they even tried doing a half-hearted attempt at this with the cursor support. And even that already went better than any of their competitors’ attempts. That’s proof that Apple is capable of destroying the competition if it simply tried. But they didn’t push through. They absolutely, in the most literal of senses, have no excuse for why they didn’t make the iPad the ultimate personal computing device like what they used to proclaim it is. iPadOS 15 was the perfect time to prove everyone wrong about the number one complaint for the iPad Pros. The ingredients were all chopped and ready, the oven’s been preheated, and the recipe’s been tried so many times that it’s practically memorised. All they have to do is APPLY what they have already invented. It’s the equivalent of having a dissertation all written up and just needing to press “submit”. But no. They chose to double down on the iPad’s weaknesses, at a time where it made the most sense (not only in terms of consumer benefit, but also in terms of finally implementing years of now-matured innovation) to improve the iPad to a new standard unrivalled by any portable device. Apple did not only their consumers, but also their own software and hardware engineering teams an extreme disservice by not improving on the iPad. It is an exceptionally rare occurence in the tech industry to have a device that is legitimately overpowered for what it can maximally do, especially when its basically for over the course of its entire lifespan. Unfortunately, the current iPad Pros are looking to be as such. The sad reality is that Apple has shown before that they are willing to neglect their products, almost at a whim. As such there is no precedent for a reality where the iPad could get major improvements in software. We could hope, but it’ll never be certain, or even just probable. Heck, there’s still no native calculator app for the iPad after all these years, and recent interviews directly bringing it up.

I mean PC is still better than MacOS but the proHD display is what the Ipad had going for it so if it had macOS support it might replace my windows laptop...

Apple have been doing this for over a decade....people will always buy them. Its that simple. For me the m1 ipad pro is awesome it does exactly what I need as a graphic designer and content creator...and was a fast upgrade from my 2019 model.

I guess it’s because HW guys really have to work on place and there is nothing to hide. Software guys works from home these days so there is lack of even self control and coordination and management. And yep, I’m the guy who works from home as web developer, but with high level of self control and productivity. Actually, my new company is very happy with me. But it comes from people itself, somebody wants to work where the others are just able to talk about it. I think that is main reason Tim wants all employees back at work. It’s definitely managable to have software guys working from home, but there must be no excuses, no empty talks. If you can proof your results, fuck you, you are fired. Tim is too nice guy to be really tough on people and this is the result.

it’s all driven by Marketing and Executive decisions. I blame Tim and Marketing, not the engineers.

What did you expect iPadOS to have that’s a letdown? I find it’s the perfect tablet, better than any tablet out there. People get obsessed with replacing their laptop with this device, something Apple has never said they wanted to ever do. So when they don’t get something Apple never promised them, they get disappointed. As a tablet, it’s the best. As a laptop… well it isn’t a laptop. Why would you expect it to be?

@@techinrl9869 nobody says it is a laptop. But horrendous bugs like support for external devices not working many times, external display support entirely unusable, still horrible way to multitask on iPad Os etc makes this device somewhat dubious. One would welcome something like reversal Catalyst to easily migrate macOs apps to iPad Os. If you have that kind of power, yet no power apps to use, it makes sense that software is killing this great HW. You have plenty of horsepower yet nothing to be able to use it at all.

@@ZhuJo99 You’re talking about a beta 1 version of iPadOS. Back when iPadOS 14 came out, there were also a lot of drives that didn’t work with the USB-C port that did when the final version came out. Bugs will always be expected in beta software. If they’re still there when iPadOS 15 releases in September, then you’ll have a case. As for a laptop, EVERYBODY seems to call it a laptop. Have you not seen the 20 billion “Can the iPad Pro replace your laptop” videos? I’m sick of seeing them when Apple never promised a laptop. Sorry, but “What is a computer” does not equal “This is a laptop replacement”. It means it’s a serious computing device, not a toy, which at the time, many people considered it to be one. You claim nothing is available to use all that horsepower. There are tens of thousands of apps, including hundreds of games and pro apps that use the power of this system. If your favored app is not there, talk to the developers. That’s not on Apple to write other people’s apps for them. Consider the iPad Pro has been out for a month. Did you expect every possible app to be available before developers had even had a chance to get one? As for external display, many apps do use the full display with no black bars. Keynote is one of them and that’s by Apple. Developers can utilize an external any way they want, but they need a compelling reason to do so. Why is the desktop not extended? Because it’s a touch device where very few have a Magic Keyboard. Exactly how did you expect people to touch their icons on that external monitor? That’s also why most apps don’t use the second monitor because there’s no way to touch anything. When people ask for features, they simply don’t think it through as to whether it’s a good idea or not.

Yeah

2018 ipad pro is slightly better than sd 888

Remember to always have Sync on. I had the 2nd gen iPad and a logic board popped and it took over 200 unsaved artworks down with it. Save your data…..

My 2018 just broke 😒 I don’t wanna buy a new one 😌

Agree. I broke two macs (water damage so my fault lol. But I would spend this money on an iPad if it had the same functionality

Why iPad mini if you can get a pro max iphone? For what tasks would you pick the mini over a pro max iphone?

@@irig0ld Pro Max is three times the price and is slightly too large IMO, I'm happy with my Samsung S10e which I paid 100$ for. When the phone is too small and I don't feel like using my laptop or desktop, I use my iPad mini. The iPad mini has almost twice the screen area of an iPhone Pro max and is more useful when reading or consuming media, when it become too small i will use my desktop. This is just my preference, it's cost effective as well since my iPad, M1 Mac Mini and a phone cost less that the iPhone Pro max.

@@rumbecker5085 thanks for sharing your perspective. I've been checking peoples use cases here and there. After returning the 11 inch ipad pro and not being able to use it to somewhat replace my MacBook, I am now looking at an iPad air, MacBook combo, but I also want to get the iPhone 13 pro max. So now considering skipping the ipad altogether and just use the pro max and a MacBook. Not sure yet if I should just get the base MacBook air m1 or wait for the new 14 inch m1x's.

@@irig0ld I'm not a fan of iPad's in general, I feel the full sized iPad are just too big. The iPad mini is the perfect fit for me but even then I only bought it as I needed a backup for work just incase I lost internet. It was cheaper for me to get an iPad for cell back up at 5$ a month data plan vs 45$ if I got the same data plan with a phone. As for my next Phone, I might get the iPhone 12 mini, perfect size for me. Funny thing is, a years a go I pledged never to buy another apple product(2012 macbook air was the only apple product I had at the time), now I have an M1 Mini, iPad mini and looking to get an iPhone mini. As soon as the new air comes out I will probably buy that and give the M1 Mini to my son.

This is no doubt the smartest setup. Some people may not want to settle on their phone, but as far as bang for the buck, you are 100% spot on@@rumbecker5085The 12 pro max is tempting if it’s your ONLY mobile device, but I agree that a cheap phone and literally any iPad is better.

Do you like the mini?

@@b_4bricks yes, it’s a great secondary device.

If you actually want a tablet (a toy) for "everything" then you're an idiot because you can hardly even do the basics of computing on a tablet and this should be obvious to most people by taking one look at the form factor. I'm not surprised you wasted money on a 12.9 inch iPad and learned the hard way.

@@chiefjudge8456 I wanted to use it as more than a toy... I shoot with a Sony A7 siii and edit in FCP on my MBA now, but used LumaFusion on the iPad Pro and it just wasn't what I wanted. The file system (or lack thereof) was the biggest problem.

I just got the 12.9” Pro to watch movies because of the miniLED and left the M1 Mac for homework.

I initially wanted the M1 12.9”, but they were backordered at the time so I settled for the 11” and I don’t regret it at all. The portability is unmatched.

@@ArbitraryFilmings if you think you should be considering upgrading from a 2018 model to the M1 to begin with you’ve hit your head. This is the issue with tech reviewers it’s not realistic.

@@thebestben It's the portability aspect I value the most, as I am now travelling internationally again on a regular basis, as I used to do (I'm a systems auditor, and my UK multinational employer has sites all over the world), and I always take a personal tech bag for what may be a long trip. I check my suitcase, which always contains a multi-plug converter (UK to any country's plug type), my work laptop case goes in overhead storage, and my tech bag goes under the seat in front.

I agree

hahah :)

Same im getting a gaming laptop for the same price

spot on! I’m using an Air 2 and I think I’m ready for an upgrade :D Tho there are many leaks talking about an M2 Ipad, honestly, I don’t think my college use will need the M2 tech, so might get my hand on the M1

I agree. I’m planning on keeping my iPhone 12 Pro Max for at least another five years and change the battery at Apple if I need to. I’m still using the iPad Air 2 which I might upgrade to an M1 iPad which could last at least ten years. You made some good points. Thanks 👍🏿

Which videos on what topics?? Thank you!

So I should get last years model instead at a massive discount?

@@oogaboogachomp I did. Also, I ‘downgraded’ to the 11”. The 13” was just more than I wanted. My wife’s Air 4 felt much more enjoyable and ‘iPad like.’

@@dragngt just bought the 4th gen air 2 mins ago. Was going to get this one but saw reviews just like this one before making my decision. I of course went for the 256gb model. Glad to hear you say that 😂

@@TheRagingSun it is, I’ve already explain on another post why, even with the $50 difference, the 256 air was a good buy for me. I: didn’t want to break 1k, needed accessories which the $50 went to, got more space than the M1, doesn’t hurt, and the usable difference(as in difference the average user will notice) is not much. The 4th gen air has a hella good chip still and for what I do on my laptop(media surfing and art)that’s even overkill. So the M1 would be stupidly overkill 😂. In other words, for me there was no point in buying the pro when the air does the exact same thing. I don’t Transfer videos so I have no use for the thunder bolt. No one can even use the full power of the M1 because the OS doesnt even allow you to do that much(you’d have to run and transfer so much crap) There have also been benchmark test that showed when it comes to actual usability the 4th gen air is only slightly below the M1 in terms of power. Not raw power, just using power. That goes back to what I said about you not being able to fully use all of the M1s power. I am not knocking the m1 by any means. It’s a beast! Just a beast you can’t fully tame. Me buying the 4th gen air future proofs me just as much as the M1. iPads last longer than phones so either way I can easily push out 8+ years with this with no issues.

@@TheRagingSun so on paper, iPads last about 4 and a half years. But it’s not the hardware that kills it, it’s the IOS. We all know that one day our devices won’t be updated any longer. (Which sucks) The reason I say 8 years for this iPad is because it has features that are good enough for it to last 4 extra years past it being updated. There are still some people rocking 5+ year old iPads. So unless they actually change The Os for their products I 100% do not see myself buying another. I’m 20 now and this is my first ever iPad. For that same reason. I can’t see the next 3-4ipads being any more different than the 4th gen air or M1. Unless they change OS.

I am planning to buy the m1 ipad pro

I bought a 12.9" pro for the screen. I never before owned any iPad so I hoped that the system will allow me to do more things. I did not expect to get a real computer replacement with possibilities like virtual machines etc. But I did not expect that there will be so many limitations on what can users and developers do. If the problem is that Apple wants to sell more devices then I would appreciate if they would make a device that has the form of iPad but OS is more closer to macOS and just say that it will cost me an extra xxx $.

@@Michal_Peterka Exactamundo! That’s exactly why I settled on the combination of the MacBook Pro and iPad Air 4... I’m sure that’s Apple’s plan all along because if they offered MacOS for iPad then we’d all get iPad Pros and nothing else.

Ah, another jilted PowerBook G4 user such as I.

you hit it right on the head, man.

Apple only cares that some buy. they know others will buy other things they sell. Ever product is gimped so you have to buy more Now imagine the full power devices Windows 11 brings out . Apple is in trouble especially with gimped iPads

@@baraboolive2611 windows 11 is still using old code from the 90s. Its a visual overhaul not a generic difference.🙌

It’s the perfect device for 99% of tablet owners. What Apple did was make the best tablet ever. You’re expecting a laptop. It isn’t one and Apple never said they were going to make it one. It’s also a device that’s four weeks old with an upgrade rate every five years, so the hardware has to last at least that long. Did you expect every piece of software to appear instantly? Most of the features people gripe about are in apps. How’s that on Apple? People complain when they don’t write an app and then sue them when they do for being a monopoly.

@@techinrl9869 I guess you don't know what an operating system is. I don't think the video was griping about apps.

And it shouldn't be. MacBook is the MacBook... period. iPad is a home entertainment system you can take on the road.
