It needs mac OS support there is Zero reason it cant support it, its M4 powered ! its just a software update, the ONLY reason they dont make it dual OS is because Apple wants to try and make people buy 2 separate devices, hardly environmentally friendly !
@@rocketmunkey1 I don't know why every techie has been saying this for a decade. The iPad DOES not need Mac OS support. Do you think Apple will abandon or compromise their heavily invested (capital and development resources from Apple as well as 3rd party) iPad OS and ecosystem. Even more important than that, Mac OS is NOT needed. The ONLY thing the iPad OS and these more powerful iPads need is an IOS version of Samsung Dex. Thats it! It would make the iPad a much better device and solve nearly everything issue most people have to even want a touch screen Mac OS.
Why do people think it’s not useful because it doesn’t run “laptop” apps? It’s just a separate device that does different stuff. People who use them find them useful. ( Not defending apple but we should really not feel like we have to buy everything if we’re getting things done with what we have )
@@nixx5490 Thhhiiisss the thinner you go, the less space for cooling. We already had this issue year ago. Unless there using graphite or some crazy cooling tech, it's gonna get hot or throttle alot. We'll see once they launch how m4 does on the ipad
Apple’s strategy is quite confusing. It feels like they just released the M3-powered MacBook, and now they’re launching the M4-powered iPad Pro. It seems a bit early for the M4 on the iPad. Moreover, the design of the iPad Pro is too thin. After switching to an OLED panel, the extra space should have been used to double the battery capacity, aligning better with the productivity-focused positioning of the Pro product line. The Air line should be the one focused on being lightweight and thin.
I have a feeling that M4 will be underclocked, and with the thin body it will thermally throttle out of the box... along with lack of battery improvements, this is not the upgrade they are acting like it is.
So I just did a comparison of my 2020 a12z with the m1 which is basically 55-60% while with the m2 is basically 50% or with the m3 is basically 45%. But - I don’t need that much power - I just need the display and the compatibility which is still given since we have a16/17 chips in iPhones. I’m good for two more years with my 2020.
No not really, they literally said it is as fast as the m2 using half of the power and is 4 times faster than the m2 for its gpu and 50% faster for its cpu. Did you watch the actual reveal.
i just dont get why apple still thinks storage is the main selling point of phones, pads and laptops in this day and age... apple still treats storage like its some mystical creature that is ultra rare and super expensive
Just make an Ipad SE without a back camera!!! Ever since I had an ipad from 2nd gen i never used the back camera and for sure many people are had the same experience
That iPad air looks lovely in 13 inch. More happy about the app upgrades for logic and fina cut than the processors. So i doubt those from M1 will even bother upgrading to m2.
It’s true that nobody asked for a thinner iPad, but I’ve definitely wanted a lighter iPad, especially for the larger Pros. They’re too heavy to hold at an angle with 1 hand for long periods of time
I think I’m in the minority that is happy to hear the pro got thinner. I always kept my Pro in its keyboard case, and the older models were basically as thick/heavy as a full-fledged laptop. A thinner pro would be a lot easier to justify alongside a laptop for people that want the convenience and portability of an iPad most of the time but still need to use a full laptop for other tasks.
Yep, agreed. I also keep my Pro in the keyboard case, and though I really like it, it's very top-heavy and kind of unwieldy. So this M4 Pro might be worth it in that case, especially if you have an extra kidney lying around ('cause those prices are ridiculous).
@@mattmers Because I don’t like holding my iPad while I’m using it. If I want to watch a movie, review documents, or play games on it I’d rather it have a stand than have to hold it the entire time-especially if I’m using it ancillary to my primary work computer or laptop. For what it’s worth, I actually don’t carry both day-to-day because my iPad is too heavy in my bag with my laptop, but I want to carry both. I think this redesign is in part a recognition of the fact that people who use iPads often do so without wanting to hold it all the time, meaning the actual size of the device as-used has to compensate for the stand/keyboard. Clearly that isn’t what Apple originally intended with the early iPads, but I think an increasing number of users (especially enthusiasts/power users that want the pro models) are going to prefer their iPad to have a stand that’s simultaneously portable enough to justify carrying it with other equipment. The iPad-as-media device or iPad-as-computer thing hasn’t quite worked out for me, but I really enjoy using it alongside my computer and would likely do so more if it were just a bit lighter.
I got it it has way much power then ever but where should i use it/? No adobe premere prp full accses, no full audio engine plugin’s available for ipad version whats the point of this much power, without using its half of protentional 😒
A question that many, if not most, including myself are asking. So far, I've found nothing compelling to make me want to purchase one. Just a 'oh, that's very nice' and I move on and not in the direction of the Apple Store.
I’m glad I just got the iPad Mini 6 since Amazon had dropped the price weeks before this no new mini announcement. And where are the new OLED screens for the iPad Air & Mini?
What i noticed is the little to no difference of prices like the pencil being the same with the gen 2? I was expecting a price point of 249 for pro pencil
The screen is the real deal here, doble layer OLED could be a game changer in color grading. If that technology makes it to the Display XDR with calibration support and SDI connections or even HDMI would be the best screen at its price.
Seems like Apple is slowly getting out of touch with the iPad Pro customer base. I sold my M1 iPad Pro as I was tired of the artificial constraints imposed by iPadOS and am fine with a M2 MacBook Air. I never really used the Apple Pencil much either so don't really miss it. What I want is a device in the iPad form factor that can dual boot both iPadOS and MacOS.
This event could have been done in 1 youtube shorts: Hey folks, we have new iPads and they are even faster! We are not sideloading macOS, so you're stuck with i(Pad)OS See you next year!
I like it when they go- This is 10x faster compared to previous version. They should also say- Buy it, but this is gonna be 10X slower compared with the next one which we will probably launch in another 6 months 🙂
OLED screens historically would burn in images into itself when using the same software on extended times same as OLED TV’s. Wonder what the warranty is on this concern.
nope. Only USB-C pencil. And the new Pro pencil does not work with *any* of the older iPads Charging coil placement changed, and it would definitely not have been possible to create a charging puck (like available for the Gen 2 pencil on Aliexpress...), because that wouldn't create as many sales
well, there is not that much you can throw to an iPad this days, like, what else can you change to make it radical different?... its a good improvement overall
