Just got mine in the mail today. ru-vid.comUgkxhcEDB3r-OJ3_X5hQzr7k1ZofTQy1ao_U The corners of the box was a little smashed but I think that’s more of the shipping’s fault. iPad was in perfect condition though. I ordered the yellow one thinking it was going to be a bright vibrant color. Instead I looks like more of a Gold color. I personally prefer the gold look. Definitely not disappointed but just a heads up to the ones expecting a brighter cream of yellow.
Been giving the 12.9" a go, but I think I might return it. I have the 11" Pro and a 14" MacBook Pro. I quickly realised that the 14" MacBook and 12,9" iPad kinda make each other redundant. If I'm going to take something as big as the 12.9" then I may as well just take the MacBook, and if I'm taking the MacBook, it's just too heavy to take the 12.9" as well. Whereas I can take the MacBook and the 11" iPad with me without it being far too heavy. I think the perfect iPad would be a 12" with the same aspect ratio as the 11". For video, this theoretical 12" would probably be just as good as the 12.9" since the black bars would be smaller. The 11" is slightly too small, and the 12.9" is slightly too big. I really hope they make a 12" with mini LED and the 11"'s aspect ratio, with the camera in the centre. I'll buy that in a heartbeat.
I love my 12.9 iPad Pro, I use mine professionally everyday for storyboarding and illustrations. Love the screen on it and just how powerful that m1 chip is. I'm able to easily manipulate 3d objects as well as work with many layers at higher resolutions. I would honestly love an even larger iPad like the new Samsung tablet. It may be too big for most people, but for drawing it would be amazing 😍 Awesome video! Would love to see a follow up in a few months :)
I have the 12.9 too and am thinking of downsizing since I've graduated. I just don't think the big screen makes sense anymore since I don't think I'll be taking a lot of notes anymore or will need to use split screen as much. If iPadOS 16 takes more advantage of the larger size, I may stick with it. Probably going to wait until the next Pro comes out to switch if I still want to, but would switch to the Air if it was 120 Hz. P.S. I've done long distance for almost a year and a half, it gets easier! Great video!
I have had the iPad Pro 12. 9 inch for a year and a half. I do translation interpretation and I got the Arabic language keyboard from Apple. This literally has replaced my laptop and I’ve never looked back. It is powerful, fast, and has a beautiful screen. For me it works.
I’ve got the 11’ pro ( 3rd gen) and I’m using it for everything, I upgraded last year over the my iPad Air and I didn’t regret it 1 bit. I sold my iPad Air privately and got what I wanted for it but within a month all the guilt I had about upgrading had gone from me. The IPad Pro 11’ is fantastic, the battery is better than expected, the quality of picture is fantastic, it’s so easy to use in fact i think that’s my favourite thing about it. The portability, use of everything in the eco system and speed all make this a superb addition. I use a desktop for most of my work but at times I’ve used the IPad Pro 11’ for Zoom- Teams meetings and it’s been perfect. If you want 1 just bite the bullet and buy 1 you won’t be disappointed.
Great video. Ive been using a 12.9” since 2018(the 3rd gen I think..?) and it’s been a blast using it for simple photo- and video editing. It’s such a nice experience. iOS has been the major cap for me, especially With using the Files app up until this day. Simple things like connecting and disconnecting an external drive should be more of a finder-like experience. I regularly have to run first aid on my Mac for these drives to just keep them run properly. Also, cross-app usability is something that could use some TLC. Other than that; if I could, I would do everything on the iPad since it such a comfortable device.
I purchased the 12.9 M1 in April because I anticipated doing some traveling but so far I haven’t gone anywhere that required an overnight stay, still this device is always by my side when I’m settled down for the evening. I spend more screen time on this than my other 4 portable electronic devices combined.
I wish i never got an ipad pro just because of its limited software. total smack in the face after spending $800 of savings ive grinded for over a year or 2
I recently got the 12.9 and I'm having super bad battery drain issues so I legit have an apt for monday to get it checked out! I'm hoping that its an easy fix!
I just replaced my 2018 11” which was Apple Refurbished with a brand new 2021 11”. I absolutely love my iPad (and yes it is my only computer and it does everything that I need it to…and plenty more besides). It’s clear to see your sadness with being away from Alex but it will get easier, Love is a wonderful thing so be happy and look forward to the next time you can get to see each other properly. Great vid, best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧 👍🙏
yes. the 12.9>11-inch ipad pro. The display is enough to favour the bigger one, but the real estate means it is very flexible and I can replace my 13-inch laptop for most of my stuff, the smaller one is just a bit cramped. But, it does depend how you use it. As a tablet only then the smaller version is probably a better choice for its more holdable usage.
Honestly i wasnt sure either when i changed from 10.5 to 12.9, but man. It was worth it. Now it just feels kinda like the normal size tbh. Its not exactly larger than the screen you would find on most laptops, that usually go from 13 inch to 14 inch to 15.6 inch. Then there is also the screen, which, yes, was a little annoying with the massive bleed, but later turned out that i could get used to it and still prefer it than LED any day. Its also incredibly easy on the eyes. Perfect for my media consumption, reading and using splitscreen, one of my favorite features.
I wanna upgrade from my 2018 iPad Pro 11” to 12.9” for the miniLED. At this point I’m waiting for the 2022 iPad pros. IF the 11” gets miniLED I’ll probably will go with that. If not it’ll be between the two M1/2 12.9
I wanted to use the iPad Pro 12.9 as an art studio on the go, the M1 is more powerful than my razer blade laptop CPU where I do 3D modeling on VR. There is procreate, nomad, the unstable infinite painter, and other apps but for real 3D art and content creation, nothing! Such power and no real pro apps?? No blender?, no zbrush? No full adobe apps, no final cut? I only have the amazing clip studio... if there is no change on that front for iOS 16 I will sell it, so sad, it would be a blast. Still the best experience for watching movies, emailing and browsing.
Noah, how are you, my friend? I am now thinking of selling my MacBook Air M1 and buying the iPad Pro 12.9 (again). My work has changed altogether. I don't work as much as I used to on my computer. I know if I sell it then I will miss it a lot. lol. i never got used to the iPadOS. so limited. let's see how it goes. and.... 4:39 rotate that lampshade dude. that crease is not meant to be seen. haha.
In a perfect world id have all 3, iPad mini with 120 refresh rate though, iPad 11 and iPad 12.9. But if i can only pick one then i totally agree with you.
i can understand using the 11” for bit for a reprieve from the bulk of the 12.9, but what’s the point in downgrading all the way to an ipad air with 60hz screen?
did he call Canoopsy his bf or reference another guy? edit: nvm. I finished the video. keep your head up. ldr's are hard but here's some hope: my now wife and I did long distance from LA to Ark for 5 months but we've been married 4 years now
My 12.9 PRO just stopped working after 1.5 years. Apple told me the only option is to upgrade- at a ridiculous price. Won’t be buying another iPad. Way over priced for an item that doesn’t even last 1.5 years
Regarding the iPad Air 5, what experience do you have with the Logitech Combo Touch case? it causes a weird ripple effect in the upper centre of the display when I touch the display sometimes. The Logitech Combo Touch case is supposedly compatible with Air 4 and 5, but this shouldn't be happening I think.
I’m considering doing the same. I have the mini but it’s sometimes feeling a little cramped. Problem is the 12.9 with the magic keyboard is well into MacBook price territory.
@@SPTSuperSprinter156 Buythe ESR rebound keyboard and track pad case for the iPad Pro. It is much cheaper than the Magic Keyboard but works just as well and has some features the Magic Keyboard does not have.
Buy the Samsung Galaxy S9+ instead of the iPad 12.9. Much better screen, battery, speakers, and the camera for videocalls is in landscape mode. After seeing my brother's S9+ I returned the 12.9.
Hey Noah, On that UGreen Charger, Is each port limited to 25 Watts? Or does it split up? So if I use only 2 ports, will it charge at 50 watts each? And If I use one port, will it charge at 100watts? Let me know please I'm very interested in buying but that is quite a bit of money for me to spend on a charger so I'd like to make sure it's the right investment for me. Thank you!
I’m definitely with canoopsy with the 11.9 inch. It’s just i need a compatible but fast ipad. The reason i need an ipad is because i love the Apple Pencil, screen etc. but i kinda see your pov so i guess thanks for making this video! :D
trust me mini led doesn’t make that much of a difference and it never reaches 1000 nits it’s al bs all tho wat does matter is that the 12.9 will have worse battery life than the 11 but it does have better speakers and I went w the 11 inch 256gb from Costco for $500 and the 12.9 inch was $700 but the extra $200 wasn’t working it to me bc I didn’t want to spend that much and only be $100 away from getting a m1 mba so ya if the 12.9 was only $100 more I would get it but the battery life matters more to me and it’s about a 1 to 2 hour battery life difference plus no one had the 12.9 m1 bc everyone else was buying them it was a special sale and the 128gb was $400 but also out of stock sold out online to I had to go to a different city just to get the iPad I upgraded from a 2016 iPad Pro 9.7 and golly did that thing have issues it’s slow asf 2 hours of battery life and purple tinting around the display and I love the 120hz display
The miniLED screen looks significantly better. It does depend on what you do with it, for example photo and video enthusiasts will notice the improved contrast and black levels more. It doesn’t really show in brighter conditions.
I have a 12.9“ iPad Pro, a 5th Gen iPad Air and a 13“ M1 MBP and I prefer my Macbook Pro in combo with the iPad Air and the Pencil. I like the 12.9“ iPad Pro while sitting at my desk, working in procreate.12.9 and 11“ both have their upsides and downsides, rn there‘s no perfect iPad. Let‘s wait what iPadOS 16 brings
As a left handed person do you also constantly have issues with facial recognition unlock? I always seem to be covering the camera and then have to type my code in instead of it recognizing me. If you don’t have this issue are there any settings you could recommend?
fellow lefty! for drawing apps, i rotate and change the orientation of my canvas. anything that pretty much makes me interact with the ipad on landscape, i rotate/change orientations. for portrait mode, it depends on apps, mostly. not all apps give freedom and comfort for left handedness :/
My spouse and I were long distance for years. It's rough, but you can do it. When you finally get to spend time together again, it's going to be AMAZING. :)
Your work is acting like you are working. You play with this tool, that tool, to see which one is cool. Today this is cool, tomorrow that is cool. Telling you, 99.9% of the people work with whatever tool they have, and get the real work done. Sadly you don't even have a real work to do.
