Next video: Why we were wrong about the Ipad Pro AGAIN

I've learned nothing because, once again, you've said nothing.

Was it just me or was the M4 featured on the thumbnail never mentioned?

You never mentioned the M4 aspect. Was that a typo or click bait?

Fans have given up on Apple doing the right thing on iPadOS

iPad Pro is a Ferrari blocked on an eternal traffic jam. And I doubt apple is going to change it

I really wish you would deliver on the promise of your title…

I got screwed when I bought my M1 iPad Pro,I’m not making the same mistake again,my 10th Gen Cellular does everything I need.

The only way they can become computer replacements is if they integrate Mac OS, which I don't think they will do like ever.

I'm one of those idiots who bought into the hype with the 16 GB M1 iPad Pro. NEVER AGAIN, Apple.

Apple always update everything around pro apps instead of actually making pro apps “PRO” (fully functional)

If it doesn’t have terminal level control, its not pro. Needs to be able to plausibly replace macbook air.

I have an iPad Air 2020 which means I have every iPad that has released since then 😂

Am wondering y u even made this video, for the sponsor 🤷‍♂️ Sad

Yeah nah it’s gonna be precisely the same as the current iPad Pro, but with an M3 and no other changes. Deal with it.

My late 2018 iPad Pro (USB type-C) is still my main computing device and it’s fine, fast (no slow downs at all) and still has good battery life. Nearly 6 years and I’m nowhere near thinking about a replacement.

Do you think this dual boot option will be available for m1 and m2 too?

MacOS on the iPad would definitely decide what I'll be investing in in the next few months. If they announce an iPad that also has MacOS, then I will be buying a Pro as my main machine. If they don't, then I'll buy a refurbished iPad Mini and keep my M1 Macbook. I'm really hoping for the former as my current iPad can't even hold a charge for longer than an hour at this point.

Will the new Magic Keyboard work with the M1 iPad Pro???

Thank you for this very helpful

I've been here before, thinking my ipad would replace something and it never did. we'll see.

Should have a setting in the new iPadOS to be in Tablet or MacBook mode. You could then choose what you want it to be. Don't think many people will be impressed by the price of the case/keyboard/trackpad.

The new Magic Keyboard will be compatible with m1 /m2 iPad Pro ?

they couldn’t add the benefits of the M1 chip because they have to support the older chips. this year they finally are able to drop support for the pre m1 ipads and can do what they need to do finally to bring the enhanced features to the chip within the OS that is just my two cents. i could be wrong.

If they did this I would buy instantly but is there any evidence besides an old patent that they will?

I've been wanting to upgrade for a while but it just hasn't been worth it to me yet. I have an iPad from just before the switch to mini LED panels and M1 chips. If they switch to the 3nm architecture and can ensure excellent power with continued excellence in battery life and keep the great screens, it'd finally be worth it to me. It would be a huge help for mobile video editing which I'd be able to do on the DaVinci Resolve for iPad app.

Yes, it'll be more expensive but.. It's the fact you can buy the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil separate so most people can still afford to just buy the iPad and later on buy the other ones Which explain the Magic Keyboard, Mous/Trackpad and Pencil high price tag.

i have an iPad pro however some website are not compatible to the ipad, so i bought a macbook for certain website needed for business. I did contact some of these compainies and was informed that their site does not work on mobile systems so a computer needs to be used. so if i was going to replace my macbook or any laptop make the Ipad worth getting for those that want an ipad than a laptop. IMO

After more than a decade of owning an iPad I finally sold my M1 iPad Pro, and been working without a tablet at all. MacBooks and even phones are so capable now than IN MY USECASE there’s no room for an iPad at all. Originally I was waiting for the M3 iPad Pros, but being realistic I was not using my iPad as I use to, so IN MY CASE would be a full waste of money

Honestly, I'm already too fed up with so much waiting just for them to deliver 8gb versions.

I have the iPad Pro 12.1 M2 with 16 gigs of ram and i am hoping i can get the upgrade.

All we want is dual boot on our 12.9 iPad Pros as you say. Also it would be nice to have a bigger screen iPad. I don’t have a MacBook but for more complex multitasking I use my 27 inch iMac. Just have a clone of the Mac OS desktop on the iPad would help greatly. Hope you are right as I am in the market for a new 13 inch M3 iPad Pro. Thanks for all your great videos.

Not going to upgrade my M1 iPad Pro. Already cancelled Final Cut Pro subscription because of its lacking features compared to the desktop version. Hopefully iPadOS 18 brings more macOS features to iPad.

I currently have an M1 MacBook Air and an iPad Air so not really in the market for any new Apple devices at this time. Maybe in the future I would just buy an iPad Pro, but it needs to run the software that I currently use on my MacBook Air, which is not available on iPadOS at this time.

Where is the video showing the fanless m3 air beating out the M1 Pro?

All this waffling just to get an updated pro with oled and M3 and same same ipad os

Max!!! You are Charlie Brown, Apple is Lucy and the iPad is the football! 🤣

I love my iPad but it's not a work device. And I will be VERY careful to buy another one. I recently got a GPD Win Max gaming laptop, and it's SO much fun. Advanced controllers built into the top. Steam games at 50% off if I wait for sales. Good enough battery like. No limitations, I could do work on it, play all games, run all emulators.

I stopped buying these iPads. Hate Apple's price gouging. I'm glad to see the Snapdragon X Elite/Plus coming to market. I've already gone to Pixel phones. Can't wait to transition out of iPads too.

Smoothest transition to a sponsor ever haha. Super clever!!

Yeap. I'm just waiting on the update - still rocking the M1 iPad Pro but it has a screen problem. I can probably limp by for another few months - perhaps until the Fall.

If that were to happen I would upgrade. It would be a true hybrid Tablet/Computer, unlike the Surface which is good as a computer but not so much as a tablet.

They frequently miss updates of products, it hardly ever means they're cooking up something special, its usually because sales of that device don't justify upgrading it every year.

It would be fantastic if what you're saying with regards the next generation iPad Pro comes true, but I am still concerned Apple will going botch it. iPad OS 17 has resulted me use my iPad Pro less, than when it was running iPad OS 16. Following EU's Digital Markets Act, I thought it would become easier the sideload apps in iPad OS 17, but in fact it is more difficult. In iPad OS 16 I could side load apps such as Dolphin emulator and UTM, but these apps require "just in time" debugging to run. This officially means tethering your iPad Pro to another Apple device across a LAN, e.g. MacBook ... not a very portable solution. But there was a workaround where you could compile an app could jitterbug, create a pairing key, and then tether the iPad Pro to itself via an internal VPN to iOS developer disk image. OK you would you have to renew the jitterbug pairing key every time there was a software update, but that was a straightforward process. iOS / iPad OS 17 broke the whole way that worked, and so the more interesting stuff I was doing with my iPad Pro to make better use of its hardware capabilities was no longer possible, relegating to become once again a crippled computer in a walled garden of mostly mediocre smart phone apps ... i.e. a big white elephant. Apple would have to do something radical, like Mac OS for iPad Pro, to convince me to spend any more money on a next generation iPad Pro. In the absence of a MacBook with touch screen and stylus support, I will probably purchase a Windows 11 laptop / 2 in 1 / tablet with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor. I am using Windows 11 arm today, so fully aware of its capabilities and limitations, and the limitations are reducing as Microsoft has been making underlying improvements to the OS, x64 emulation, drivers, and developer support. The number of Windows 11 apps with arm64 binaries is also increasing, and the release of new higher performance arm processors for Windows PCs should accelerate that process.

Whqt i want for ipadOS18: Journal app available for ipad as well. Can cross usage across iphone, ipad and possibly on macbooks as well Battery health counter That’s all.

I have an M2 iPad Pro and I honestly love it. I daily drive a windows gaming PC and have a windows laptop provided from work and use my ipad for entertainment and photo editing. It does an amazing job. Mac OS would be cool there is no doubt but I don’t know, I don’t completely want that on an ipad. Maybe software that can run full Mac OS apps but is better optimized for a touch screen/pencil interface.

It’d be nice for the keyboard to have extra battery life and a connection hub for the iPad.

It's as simple as I will not upgrade my m1 I pad if I can't run macros and run my proper pro apps,. Simple as that. I'd imagine even power users would get some usability out of an m3 level I pad that can run all their software in such a portable formate so delaying this is only going to cost apple more money

Please compare the m3 iPad to the Minisforum V3 Windows tablet when the M3 iPad comes out!

If they did a 14 inch ipad pro that switched to MacOS when docked onto a magic keyboard, I would happily buy it. My 2019 16" MBP is getting slow, and the battery needs servicing.

I hope you are right. If so I will be buying one for my older daughter and one for myself. The ability to swap between iPad os and Mac OS makes the perfect device for a lot of people. Add the Oled screen and I would pay a lot x2.

It is over for the iPad Pro, the Microsoft Surface Pro 10 5G (2024) with the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite running full Windows desktop apps marks the end.

Since I have a 12.9" iPad Pro 5th gen probably the only thing that would make me upgrade this year is a 15" or 16" iPad Pro. Since it doesn't seem like that is in the offing I don't see me buying a new one this year.

Snapdragon X elite will change the game. A new generation of super fast low power Windows tablet devices that challenge iPad in speed, weight and power consumption. Perhaps then Apple will see the light.

Since you can’t finance a MacBook through your wireless carrier this would allow you to get laptop like tablet and be able to afford it by financing in monthly installments with your wireless company

I wish one day ipad would become really good macbook air replacement

They should make 16:10 aspect ratio....4:3 sucks😢

I am planning to pick up the new iPad when it finally comes out. I use my iPad for many things like work related items with Outlook, web surfing, content consumption, games, taking notes, and using my iPad as a second screen for my MacBook. That would be my first major request to finally put MacOS on it but still let us use iPad apps.

Can it be paired with Alexa if it does I would buy it

Will Apple finally fix the broken file management system in the IPAD? Sorry, but I don't like the hobbled IOS operating system. My Mac laptop runs so much better and is easier to use than an IPAD and it has a proper file management system! Not buying a half baked product designed to have us buy subscriptions for everything. Enough already.

Sounds interesting but I don't want to HAVE to dock the iPad to get the full mac experience.... :/

Oled on the new ipad pros fixes the blooming issue that was on the ipad pro 12.9 inch.

I hope you're right! I'm waiting anxiously for Snapdragon X Plus/Elite and looking forward to being able to walk into any Best Buy to take my pick of numerous thin and light laptops and 2-in-1s with good performance, thermal management, and battery life assumed. An iPad Pro with a desktop-class operating system would be a compelling alternative and would at least get me to stroll through the Apple area first. 🤓

I bought an M1 iPad Pro instead of a MacBook a couple years back because of the cellular modem and the touch screen. Honestly, it does almost everything I need it to do. It is super portable and I don’t regret the purchase, but I won’t buy an iPad again unless you can install 3rd party apps from .dmg (or similar experience), like you can on MacOS. If iPadOS could do that, it would be enough to get me to consider it. Maybe the DoJ lawsuit is what the iPad really needs.

I just want regular mouse inputs and maybe if they’re willing to spoil us have Xcode

Thank you for staying positive

Everything you said in this video is virtually spot on. I love my iPad and even with a Studio and a base M2-MBP (on sale at Best Buy) I still find myself going to my M1 iPad Pro as my primary mobile device (I love it) but am also frustrated by the boondoggle know as "iPadOS" - it really holds this device back.

I have the 12.9 m1 iPad pro with 1tb/16gb of Ram which has been a great tablet for my business which I do a ton of my photo editing before I transfer them over to my to my Mac PC to finish up the remaining editing. But I seen that Samsung came out with the S9 Ultra and how beautiful the screen was and apple never came out with a new iPad Pro last year I got tired of waiting so I picked up the Samsung S9 Ultra with 16 gigs of RAM and wow that screen is flipping beautiful. And out of everything I do with my iPad Pro I can do with the Samsung and the only issue I have found is the S9 Ultra takes a little bit longer to export the edited photos to a hard drive. But I still like the iPad Pro but this new Samsung S9 Ultra it's doing a lot of the work now. I hope Apple comes out with a larger version than the 12.9 inch version and and it's super powerful. I don't mind music both my iPad Pro and my S9 Ultra cuz I like the best of both worlds. The only issue with the Samsung they don't have a Photoshop app. Yeah I wish they would hurry up and get one out soon. Great Channel love your content

If I’m going to 1500 just for a better screen, I might as well just get a Studio display it will have the capability….

I am hopeful for a change from my 2018 12.9 iPad Pro but not in a hurry to spend 2x more than a MacBook Air m1 with 8gb ram and 256 ssd. if it has no macOS option that’s a dealbreaker first and foremost.

I always thought they stopped the 12 inch production soon after 2017 to avoid ipad/macbook cannibalization but you are right. Same chip with software limitations are getting old. I would love to share your optimism & hope that I finally can have an all in one Ipad. I am sceptical that apple will still keep limiting ipads from becoming computers I'm afraid.

Man! Exactly my hopes!

If this really happens, which I'm doubtful for now, I think that I would replace my iPad Pro 11" and my MacBook Air M1 with an iPad Pro 13" alone, as it'd be able to replace both perfectly. I was expecting that move for years now, and I really hope you're right and that it'll happen.

man , i've been waiting for this for YEARS.. now. I've commented here, several times..even.. Who cares if it is expensive... Just give me/us a capable iPad & pencil (ie enough RAM, processing power and touch sensitive screen) and put-in MacOS _ let me run Logic Pro FULL version.. Final Cut FULL version.. even if just possible ... when you dock the tablet to the keyboard or some sort of hardware base. That's what most of us want, i reckon. And .. pls... please! a serious upgrade on the File Management .. !

I just hope you are correct. That would be the iPad Pro I have always wanted. I will place my order on day one - fingers crossed 🤞

I'd love the next ipad pro m3 to automatically switch to a windows laptop once you attach the keyboard.

my thoughts: year ago I said I'd buy iPad Pro if it had full MacOS - and that is still same, BUT as you mentioned limitation of iPads is software, nowadays limitation of Apple is the restrictive constantly-changing ecosystem when it comes to any third-party sw/hw compatibility in the long run, which gets really tiring and annoying on a computer-like device - Windows right now is way more flexible and backwards/forwards compatible it's just less pain to use for more complex setups like recording studio or AI development - and if Qualcomm kicks in with ARM chips & Windows for ARM (which btw works amazing in Parallels), then Apple may loose the momentum forever

There may have to be upgrades for the IPad.

Clickbait. They’re never going to kill their MacBook sales by doing this.

still have my m1 Mac after upgrading from the 2017 top of the range intel macbok pro……unless this thing breaks……I have no need to upgrade to a new macbook pro…..my music software and plugins work perfectly….aaaannd……i have yet to hear the fans……the intel one wall fall on knees after a few plugins and sound like a ps4 at triple A game max setting lol….M1 Mac, no problem, no issue and no bloody fan noise thank god……as for the iPad….also have the m1 pro but mainly use it to watch films and tv series etc…..occasionally use as a second monitor for the MacBook to put plugin GUI’s on, but again snt feel like i need to upgrade unless the next ipad is a serious contender for full o/s like a macbook support

I ended up swapping, on FB Marketplace, my 12.9" iPad Pro 6th gen (cellular) with Magic Keyboard case for a base M2 MacBook Air simply because I was fed up not being able to do the things I really wanted to be able to do. The limitations of iOS on a £1000 device are insane but a £1400 'Pro' model is criminal.

If you're right about a MacOS iPad, it probably won't have enough ports or it'll still be dumbed down somehow. I really want a MacOS iPad but I've been waiting for years now so I'm pretty sure no matter what they come up with, it'll be underwhelming.

I feel like having a mac experience on an Ipad will just cannibalize Macbook Air sales, just like how the Iphone killed the Ipod

Another possibility is that Apple becomes IPad / MacBook neutral because of the equal treatment for VisionPro. The number of people that would buy an iPad Pro, Mac Pro and Vision Pro is pretty limited. As long as you buy a Vision Pro, they wont care what other flavor you get.

I have all 3, iPhone, iPad pro and MacBook Pro. I never use the MacBook (all M1’s) I can do all my photo editing and video editing on the iPad and it’s fast. I use my iPhone for everything else. But the M1 is still super fast, so don’t see a reason to get a new iPad anytime soon

I am a high end PC Desktop person. I have an original Ipad Pro. My Iphone 13max does everything the Ipad pro does. I don’t want a Macbook because it doesnt do anything different than my Computer, and I don’t need a generic Ipad that does what my iphone can do, with the limitations of No Cell service. If this happened I could justify the upgrade of the original Ipad Pro by having A Mac Tablet because it is so versatile.

just add mac os experiance to ipad pro line magic keyboard costs 300$ they still gonna make a bank

You should be able to run macOS - keyboard or no keyboard, as the pencil would be a better pointing device than the trackpad IMO. I do wish apple would make the best of everything, a Surface Pro killer,,, but Apple are too conservative in this area.

Okay a macbook-like interface sounds great but it will not replace a macbook until it can run ALL macos software and allow sideloading.

I am waiting 24inch iPad Pro or iMac with touch screen and Apple Pencil enabled.

Hi! Apple should hire you! Cause you bring some hope and great energy!😉 By the way, I hope you will compare the next iPad Pro with the MacBook Air or Pro M3…. 🙏 Will it overheat? As resources are limited on this planet, Apple should have an all-in-one device that is small, touchscreen, with apps and also with real computer capabilities. They won’t loose money if people don’t buy a Mac. Instead they will make a lot of cash with all the accessories, they can sell. If Apple doesn’t make IPadOs “computer friendly”, I seriously consider going back on Android and buying a 2 in 1 Windows computer. If they miss the boat again this year, well, how many “fans” will turn their back at the brand? I’m still waiting… and I keep on dreaming!🙏

IF Apple made a convertible tablet computer hybrid, it would change the game. Most companies doing this don't do the tablet AND the computer well; when they are combined. I have a feeling that if Apple did it, they would bring the best of both worlds, WELL. And it would get me to trade in my iPad mini (which imo is the perfect tablet form factor) and my 16" MacBook Pro for a 12.9" iPad Pro. Fingers crossed that the patent becomes a reality.

Need to memorize the name of the channel so I don't fall for the clickbait again... youtube should somehow penalize this type of behavior.

Wait!..how did we jump from ipad to the ad? that was a smooth transition

Let’s just hope that the new keyboard will work on older iPads(at least ones with new design)

I really hate the idea of a device switching OS back and forth depending on whether you have a keyboard attached. All Apple really has to do is stop artificially crippling iPadOS and it would be good to go. No need for MacOS.

my m1 ipad pro finally feels a bit like a pro device thanks to the delta emulator. it gave a glimpse of what an unleashed ipad can be and now I am craving more. UNLEASH THE POWER YA COWARDS!!

If they do what you’re saying - make iPadOS capable of running a full desktop environment, I would absolutely upgrade. If they do not, I’m considering moving to Surface with the new Qualcomm chips.

Why doesn't Apple just give the iPad Pro’s a Samsung DeX style interface.
