Are you using your iPad Pro primarily in the Magic Keyboard? If so, I’ve found that the MKB is a MAJOR power drain. I expected the keyboard to draw a little power but it drains my iPad really fast, possibly due to the backlit keyboard. In any event, when I take the iPad off the MKB and use it in tablet mode, I get much better battery life. Could your problem be the MKB sucking the life out of your iPP’s battery?
The problem with reducing the bezels is that then the camera would have to be in a notch and considering where the camera is now, that would be incredibly distracting when the iPad is being used in portrait mode. I’d prefer the bezels over a notch.
Bought the 11 inch 512 gig and keyboard. Coming from the original iPad Pro this was a great upgrade. Really like the minimalist tech. I got rid of my windows laptop a while ago and haven’t looked back. I’m not a power user by any means. I like to write some and watch vids. I may play a game if one ever interests me but that’s about it. Great device.
🐬 I’m considering getting a magnetic screen protector on a standard screen iPad M4 for my Apple Pencil Pro. I saw the matte screen at the Apple Store and while it did a good job reducing glare, I felt like the colors were muted and less sharp. I wanted to take advantage of the double OLED. I want to be able to enjoy media content on my iPad and then put the screen protector back on for drawing/animation content.
Paperlike is going to wear out your apple pencil tip very quickly & in some cases will scratch your screen. The only good thing about Paperlike is being a matte screen protector & thats it. And at that price, i can find a cheaper matte screen protector. Catch my drift? I'm sticking with tempered glass screen protector.
🐬 I appreciate your video and content a lot. Thanks for sharing. To me, the iPad 11 is the more impressive machine because it fits all what the 13 has into a smaller form factor, most importantly including a slightly better battery. A lot of people prefer the 13 because of the bigger screen, making it very similar to a MacBook Air in terms of size and weight despite not being quite there in terms of being a laptop replacement… whereas the 11 is an excellent tablet and offers something no MacBook does, better portability.
Hi Rjey, subscribed. Great review. I upgraded and got the M4 11 and MKB. Having been an iPad enthusiast since the original, this is the best iteration so far. It’s been a great addition to my Apple family. Cheers and keep up the great work!
I currently have iPad Pro 10.5” 2017 and planning on upgrade soon. Which one to buy, iPad Air M2 13” or iPad Pro M4 11”? Considering the price is similar for the 256gb storage (approx. $1000) and I still need to buy apple pencil as well. I am using it for media & note taking. For heavy use, I still have MBP M1 16 inch
Completely agree - my 2022 iPad Pro 11" is downright heavy and uncomfortable compared to the M4 11" Pro. Also, the new one doesn't get as warm as the M2 version.
There are downsides to the paper like screen protector. Wears down the tips on the Apple pencils more quickly, the matte screen protectors are less reflective but I watched a video comparing it to the nano texture and the nano texture is HELLA less reflective. The nano texture is far superior, but then again you probably want a screen protector on your iPad unless you’re trynna hit it raw with the Apple Pencil.
Appreciate your review. I hope more honest reviews will come soon even under the maker's pressure. To share more, the "top level" OLED on this iPad still uses low frequency PWM (480Hz) even many other phone makers widely use over 1000Hz or 3000Hz. iFixit's latest tear down implies that M4 iPad originally might have 12GB RAM. So does it mean that, Apple just want maximize their profit and ignore real user experiences?
I will say - I am coming from a 2018 A12X iPad Pro and I am noticing the battery life is radically better on the M4 iPad Pro, but can’t speak to the M2 you mentioned.
I like your video. I am going to upgrade my older iPad Pro. I was wondering if you are going to check out some 3rd party keyboards. I have heard good things about the Logitech combo. Also, I know Paperlike sponsored your video but have you looked into Paper Rock Pencil 2. I am debating which screen protector to get and have heard good things about that product as well. I am really disappointed to hear that the battery life is below par. I look forward to hearing any updates on that. Thanks again for your review.
I had the Logitech combo for the 11inch it is really great, however for the case part the rubber around the volume and speakers started to stretch and lift away which then caused it to tear after about a year or two of casual use also as a note paper like has the ability to run your Apple Pencil’s tips down
🐬 loved the video and just subscribed. I just returned the iPad Air M2 11inch due to unresponsive screen, over heating and battery life. The Apple Pencil Pro didn’t work a lot of the time either--due issues with the iPad. I’m thinking of getting the pro 11 inch. Thanks for the great review
I am really hoping that they push some software updates that fix some of the battery life issues. I know there has been huge variance of battery life based on IOS version in the past for other products….fingers crossed because I LOVE the functionality, size, weight, and feel of this 11 inch M4 iPad Pro!
macOS is a HORRIBLE idea for iPads, so I am sick of this generic saying by generally people that don’t even use iPads regularly. I agree that iPadOS needs a BIG update to its files system and using external monitors and SSDs. I want to see more professional apps. One way i could see it meeting more needs is a type of translation software that interprets MacOS programs to iPadOS possibly. Similar to how Rosetta translates Intel programs for MacOS. Edit. I believe that on the 1tb models, we should have a duel boot with MacOS
Legit. All we wanted was Final Cut, Logic Pro, downloads, hooking up external displays accurately, a good multitasking setup for workflow, we’ve had photoshop for years, you already got a full professional production studio all in a small tablet. People always are wanting what’s “better” yet they can’t be grateful for what we already have. They are stuck in 2012 with their poor experiences with the original iPads. I’ve imagined Mac OS for iPad and it would be annoying, tricky to use and make zero difference. Just keep improving iPad OS, my only complaint is I couldn’t download the metaverse workplace app virbella for my job on an iPad but now they moved it to the web which I think means I can now use an iPad for everything besides niche music production things that require the extra RAM
If you actually use MacOS, you would know why. You can download many hundreds or thousands of more apps that have MacOS versions, you can find open source non subscription versions of software that you would have to pay to use on iPads, and you can literally download whatever you want whenever you want. iPad is a waste of processing power for 99% of people. And Samsung Dex is what people want, when you dock an iPad it should become MacOS, simple. That way iPadOS is still what you get when you use it mobile, and then people who want to use it at home to replace a laptop finally can.
@@ghost-user559there is no way that would ever happen unless they charged 5k for it. that would just eliminate at least half of the need for the macbook completely. very few companies would kill off their own product, apple would be the last of them all to ever do that. That being said, nothing you said was wrong at all, and would make sense from the consumer perspective.
@@will-zj5gq I think they are actually about to do it, as in potentially this next update or at least this year. They are already hinting at it with these new Pros, and I think that is their strategy. Does it matter to them if you buy a 2k$ iPad Pro or a 2k$ MacBook Pro? Nope. They make exactly the same amount. So what they will likely do is only allow “Pro” models to use the MacOS port features, and Air and below will still have iPadOS only. That’s what they do with most of their “flagship” features, they lock it behind the paywall of the most expensive models.
Thanks for a good video!! Keep up the good work! A good invention for the magic keyboard would be if you can attach the iPad on the backside of the cover and hold it all together as a folio. With no new Keyboard folio for the iPad Pro, that would have been neat.
I just bought the iPad Pro 11 M4 and I love it. I think it’s going to replace my Mac Book Pro M1. I also like the new Magic Keyboard. The only question I have is should I purchase the pencil. I appreciate any feedback
Help man, I also got the 11 inch iPad Pro but the battery lasts 5-6 hours. I charge only 80% but still something feels wrong here. Glad I’m not the only one.
Did you get the latest Paperlike screen protector for the newest 11” iPad Pro? I thought I saw on their website that the latest version won’t ship til late June? 🐬
After my GCSEs I’m looking to buy an iPad Pro, and I’m not sure between getting the 13 inch or 11 inch, if I were to get the 11 inch I was wondering if it is worth also getting a monitor so I could use an external keyboard and mouse with the monitor and iPad while at home at my desk, but then I could just use the iPad when I’m at school for example. What do you think? Is there any point also getting a monitor, and should I go 11 inch or 13 inch?
I keep seeing your comment everywhere lol. Have you decided yet? Do you travel a lot? I don’t understand why you would get the 11” vs the 13”. The 13 is still very portable.
I can’t afford a new iPad Pro every year or second year. I’ll stick with my Pro 2020 for now. And I am not mentioning the pencil, Magic Keyboard and AppleCare. Maybe if I was earning my life with it I would think otherwise, maybe…
Why would you upgrade if your IPad was only 2 years old?? The new one is still just the same IPad with a new chip that you probably won’t see much difference in?? The problem is it’s still running IPad OS which is limited You don’t need a M4 chip for the IPad OS
Can I used my extra M1 iPad Pro 11" paperlike protector on my M4 iPad Pro 11"? Or is there something different about the screen where I need to pre-order the iPad Pro 11" (2024) version?
@@RjeyTechyeah I answered myself after I remembered about the camera position. Thanks for responding though. Just finished video, great by the way! Edit: forgot the dolphin 🐬
While im flying my drone - can i run a thunderbolt connection from controller to ipad so customers can watch also .. been reading and looks like even the hdmi on macbook pro is a outlet only ?
Great review. I will point out a Paperlike sponsorship is more likely to influence your support than a company like Apple that does not sponsor anyone or give away free products.
can you put a screen protector or a case with a built in screen protector on ipad pro screen with nano texture??? i have a M1 ipad pro in a full body supcase. i just got the ipad pro m4 512 cell but i did want the nano screen but unsure about the screen protector effectiveness on it !!!!
OLED has NOT had superior picture quality. Only recently have a few reference monitor manufacturers managed to produce an OLED reference monitor that has accurate colour. BUT, these monitors are 3 to 4 times more expensive than the most accurate reference monitor on the market from EZIO. All “Pro” iPhones have terrible colour. Deep blacks make good contrast but the colour reproduction has usually been awful with OLED
there is NO PAPERLIKE for this ipad until almost end of June…. how did you get your hands on it? seems like you are just talking about it, but didnt really use it. Really man…. at least say they arent available
