I picked up 11” 256gigs last Friday and I love it. Never had a pro iPad. Upgraded from air 4 and the display is such a crazy upgrade!!! 120hz tandem oled just kills the iPad Air 4 screen. The performance and camera are noticeably better. And yeah performance is just crazy 🤪 Tomorrow my Magic Keyboard should arrive then I’m set for the next few years 🤌

[@CodeCreated]

hope they make huge upgrades in os

[@user-InspireEllen]

Great work Aaron, I purchased the iPad pro4 mainly due to my compromised eyesight. I have had it just for two days and already my eyes don’t struggle like with the L.C.D. Screen I struggle with my eyesight in most things in every day life. So this I pad pro 4 is a a definite improvement to my everyday life. So up to now this is a great success.

[@multibusa]

Having had multiple corneal transplants I too struggle with my vision. I need extra light when reading a book and I had the contrast set to max on my iPad. Just waiting for my 13 inch pro 4 to arrive and am anticipating the new display may give me some assistance. I don’t imagine the new iPad is going to do anything my 2018 12.9 inch pro could do but I am hoping for a huge improvement in the screen.

[@RussMEagle]

I moved up from an iPad Mini 6 to an iPad Pro M4 11 inch last week - it is fantastic. Really pleased I upgraded. Great video 👏🏼

I was about to buy the Mini today and ended up buying the 11 inch M4 iPad Pro! …. I have the M3 Max MBP as well. Nice combo!

[@JCourts2k23]

I got the 11 inch 256 GB last Saturday, along with the magic keyboard, and an Apple Pencil Pro. I absolutely love it. The display is beautiful, the speakers sound amazing, compared to the M2 iPad Pro that I had. On the magic keyboard, I love having the function row at the top, makes all the difference. I did order a dBrand skin for the keyboard, I had one on my last magic keyboard and loved it. I just can't stand how the material on the keyboard feels when it gets dirty

[@mcain2911]

iPads are hard to know when to upgrade because my 2021 M1 iPad Pro is still ridiculously fast and does everything I need without any issue. It’s always good to know what’s out there though because you never know.

[@gokkiyoutube]

it's really easy, actually - if your current iPad still does everything you need then keep it. Much later, once yours breaks, or you hand it down to your family member you can get yourself the newest one. This is what happened ot me: i gave my Pro to my parent so i'm getting the latest one. The few things to keep in mind is probably the connectivity or pencil support if those features are important enough to you to justify 1000€+ upgrade.

[@andrestoodrip6616]

Yeah, I got the 2018 12.9inch and it's still running strong. Battery life is my only biggest concern, but it still is a powerhouse!

[@gokkiyoutube]

Talking of apps taking advantage of the new M4 chip, are there any credible rumours of any looming on the horizon other than games?

[@satysin630]

Had my 11" Pro for a week now and absolutely love it. It is my first new iPad since the Mini 2 over a decade ago(!) so the leap is insane. My only struggle is adjusting the muscle memory to typing on a slightly smaller keyboard than I am used but overall using the iPad is so great. Sure it is stupidly expensive and I would say to anyone that already owns an M model iPad Pro don't bother upgrading but if you're coming from something older than that and you use your iPad a lot it is a phenomenal upgrade.

[@donyoung333]

Re IPadOS - improve files to match finder, allow right click menu to open other than default eg ability to open word in pages without having to open pages first. Better sounds management, ability to separate audio streams - improved support for accessories, and finally ability to use the 16gm ram

I bought a 13" M1 iPad Pro with cellular and 2TB of storage for $919, an Apple Pencil for $50, and a new Magic Keyboard for $147. And I have never felt better about my $1200 purchase - absolutely validated.

I've been reading on some forums on Apple and Reddit that people are experiencing "Mura Effect" on both 11 and 13 inch Oled. It's around 25% brightness. If you look at greys, you can see a Grainy appearance. Could you please check yours? It's worrying me now to buy due to this. Check greys and blues out, even just your settings page as the bars are greyish. At about 25% brightness and look closely or take a close picture. Is there a grainy appearance?

[@BigBob72789]

I've just upgraded from an M1 iPad air, back in the day I had the M1 pro, but didn't use it so much. But the M4 I just feel like is that bit faster and I'm definitely using this pro a lot more. Its the 11 inch 512GB. I do think my M1 ipad had a better battery, I do have 4 cycles but find it does drain a lot quicker, especially when not in use which isn't so good. But I do love the iPad, so for me it takes nothing away from the fact I'll be keeping it for years. Very glad to finally see battery health has come to iPad, think that's a very necessary addition as people keep their iPads longer usually.

Well - I purchased the 1 TB 11" ipad pro, Keyboard, pencil regular screen with paperlike screen and pencil wrap. I bought a special case plus an Ankor power bank, and a docking plu in for a my HDMI, additional c connects USB A and even power plugged into the c connect. Well I want to leave my Microsoft laptop home. I also loaded MS Office with Notability for documenting. One confusing software is the Logic X. I used Login for over 15 years on the computer buut the ipad pro version confuses me. I disconnect the i[ad pro when needed and will treat this as my minnie computer. Thank Zollo for the continued info.

I think you missed the point of the video. He was saying unless you want the new oled screen then there is no point upgrading. I have a 12.9 M1 ipad pro and that is still way overpowered and can do everything the new ipad can do. Yes the new screen looks great but personally I can’t justify spending all that money on a way overpriced upgrade just for a little bit better screen.

[@NateisJung]

At 5:14 - OLED displays have much faster response times, that is what you are feeling. Although the LED displays on previous models were 120hz, their response times were much lower. Dave2D talked on this in his review and had the response time as 5ms on OLED vs the 39ms on the M1 iPad Pro 12.9 with the Mini-LED display.

[@zollotech]

Maybe, but I believe there is more to it than that.

I upgraded from my M1 iPad Pro to the 2TB M4 iPad Pro (Standard Glass).. sure it's expensive but I'm planning to keep this for years to come. The one major difference which I'm enjoying is how light it is compared to the older M1. Also, I can see the difference having an OLED screen compared to the MiniLED.

My M1 which I traded in for the M4 was almost as good. The main difference is the OLED screen that's an improvement. For me, I dont use the iPad for watching movies or whatever, instead, I use it for business so its a bad sale for me. I regret the purchase.

[@menithings]

What nobody seems to understand about the new iPad Pro’s thinness, is that is HAD to be thinner and lighter to allow its center of gravity to be lower when docked to the redesigned Magic Keyboard. A lower center of gravity means it can be pushed further back, thereby freeing up space on the keyboard for a function key row and larger trackpad. Basic physicists.

[@vernearase3044]

The front facing camera does lower resolution because it's capable of Center Stage.

I may be jumping the gun… as I am only about 5 min into the video…. I just upgraded from the 4th gen to this one and the only complaint I have is… regarding the Magic Keyboard. I love the design of the new keyboard… but I am really disappointed in the balancing of the device. When its on you lap..couch anything that is not a flat surface, it wants to fall backwards… which was not a problem with the old one. If you tilt the iPad forward enough it helps… but… a little bummed with that… other than that, it is AMAZING!

[@loganrussell]

The decision to make the iPad thinner was definitely to support the Magic Keyboard balance. You get better angles, bigger trackpad and a function row. You either had to increase the weight of the keyboard or decrease the weight of the iPad.

[@Jonathantuba]

A big advantage of the 13” over previous versions is it is a lot lighter to hold in tablet mode, and for myself as I regularly use outside the brighter display and nano texture will be noticeable benefits. A disadvantage of using over the Mac is often dumbed down apps over their Mac equivalents. It is not as bad as when I started using an iPad Pro with version 1, but still has somewhere to go before I can use my iPad for everything as I would like so I don’t have to carry two devices when travelling.

[@bossanova7462]

I have the iPad pro 11 inch M2 and will not upgrade anymore because Apple is pushing the limits on the price of the iPads.

The days when people automatically just upgraded to the next greatest gadgets are over.

[@keithrichards9316]

The exaggerated thinness of the tablet makes the pencil look even thicker. I agree, leaving the tablet thicker to make it easier to handle and a bigger battery would be a much better improvement.

[@gregg3799]

I bought the 11" M4 replacing the air 4th gen. Beautiful screen. Battery life I'm not sure on yet. Seems to drain more quickly, would make sense. But you can either have thinness or battery. The thinness is nice the first time you pick it up... But for me it then goes straight into a keyboard case so the thinness becomes a mute point. Wouldn't have minded closer to 6mm if it meant more battery.

Hello Aaron , I purchased a M4 iPad Pro 13” . The unboxing was usual , then the thinness and weight was amazing . I had the WiFi model .

Only, interestingly, the i pad mini is ok when using back camera

[@user-nr7zq5in4j]

Good video Aaron! I think that the feeling like it’s 120 Hz all the time sensation is likely due to the lesser response time from the OLED. Dave2D states that it is now 5s rather than >30 with the mini LED.

I'm a medical resident and to tell you the truth the iPad Pro does a lot of work for me than a Mac, I write my notes on the iPad, I take my rounds updates on the iPad, I study my text books on the iPad(which is far easy than carrying a 15lb book), I do my keynote presentations on iPad, do my thesis work on word on iPad, and of course also I consume my entertainment on my iPad, its one of the rare cases but, for a medical resident, doctor or even a medical student, it can be the perfect all in one device one can have.

I actually had to sell my M1 iPad Pro because while I loved it, I couldn't use it longer than an hour because my eyes got super red from the Mini-LED. Now with this I have almost no eye issues with it (I also use a matte screen protector though). So I can add onto your experience with that.

As most watched the keynote, we know it will be expensive. That’s expected as it’s Pro. The average Joe won’t buy this, but they have a great $349 model to buy or a Mini or Air … or even the 11-inch Pro if they want to flex a little. Once you get Final Cut, I think you’re video should be directed squarely at the Pro user, how it performs in that arena and how one might go about using this to get Work/Design/Pro work done. Drawing on a screen is a huge deal especially for previous Wacom users are concerned. We’ve been drawing on a gray slate in our lap while looking forward at a desk monitor which is hard to get use to. Now we can actually look where we’re drawing which is so vastly better. Great video.

Furthermore, the fact that I still use the 2018 iPad Pro 11 for my daily tasks while still being snappy and having the same software support (for now) while still having aspects better than the latest iPad Air (screen refresh rate and speakers) make me feel like I’d rather wait another year or another generation before I seriously consider a change.

File app was a mess from day one. Too convoluted and inconsistently guided by Apple to app developers. That's probably why Box and Dropbox were used. Coming from ease of use for files in Windows, Android/ Google, the Apple's iOS file system has been frustrating and often nightmarish to use.

As far as the thickness goes, I was watching another review and I think they hit the nail on the head - this iPad Pro 13” is thinner and lighter than the previous versions, which makes it easier to hold in your hand for longer periods of time. Yes I would have loved more battery but the trade-off as far as weight and thickness would make it harder to hold for longer periods. As far as iPadOS vs. MacOS, people you are just going to have to move past that. I just don’t see them changing it but iPadOS has gotten better over time.

[@zollotech]

I actually find it less comfortable to hold due to the thinness.

[@klosezhang78]

[@mofosoto]

I kinda wish it had improved battery, but I love the minimalist design. Less is more. The lighter the better. It’s one of Apple’s signature features that makes them popular; putting incredible tech in an impossibly small form. It’s a big deal for a device that you handle every day. It makes you feel like you’re holding a piece of tech from the future. I have an M1 iPad Pro 11” and I still trip out on the thinness every day. But since it’s my main device that I’ve replaced my MacBook Pro with, I do wish it had a better battery life. The new iPads are really what should have been released last generation, minus the M4 obviously. That seems to be Apple’s problem currently, they’re behind.

I don't think the thinness is the problem for grip, it's the small bezels. I want to hold it with one hand and draw with the other; even with the 11 inch the bezel doesn't have enough leverage to hold from one side. It would be okay if they added "thumb rejection" so I can grip over the screen and not have the touch interfere with the pencil.

I have iPad Air 4 and MacBook Pro from 2019 and I'm thinking of buying the new iPad Pro m4 to replace both, just waiting for iPadOS 18 for the final decision. When I am at home, I use an iMac, and while traveling, instead of bringing two devices I would only take the iPad Pro.

I never crank up my M1 iPad more than 50% brightness , it's too bright for me ,maybe because I am an older man 😅

OLED plays well with high refresh rates because of super fast response times.

@Zollotech funny little quirk. When holding the iPad portrait, the upper side volume button turns the volume up and lower turns it down. When holding it landscape, the lower volume button turns the volume up, the upper turns it down!!

I want to buy the 1TB anyway. I am wondering why do you think most people should go for the glossy display besides having to use the special cleaning cloth?
