Here is what I would do: iPad Pro (1099) - 13 inch only, a low tier m4 with 8gb ram where one of the p cores becomes an e core and peak performance is limited which can be more efficient and get better batterylife, the normal m4 (200 extra), mac os, the rest of the specs are the same but it comes with a pencil pro included and the folio case is a 200 dollar upgrade. Also ram and storage are upgradable individually so you don't need get 1tb for 16gb. iPad Air (549) - 11 inch and 13 inch (699) , single layer oled, 90hz, 8gb ram, a18 pro chip for better battery life,normal iPad os, pencil or pencil pro, rest of specs same, but the folio case should be 200 dollars and not 349 dollars. iPad Mini (399) - Same Size, but with single layer oled, 90hz display, a18/a17 chip, and support for both pencil and pencil pro, rest of specs same iPad (349) - Same size, 60hz lcd, a18/a17 chip, apple pencil and pencil pro support, the rest of the specs are same Also the normal apple pencil will have mostly the same specs but it should finally get the magnetic capability instead of the idiotic USB-C butthole charging. Thats my take what do you think fpt?

[@RWBHere]

I'm disagreeing with you on one level: The iPad range is pretty good, and way better than any Android tablet that I've seen. In fact, 3 of the past 6 Apple devices I've bought have been iPads. This iPad Pro does everything I need it to do, and if It needed replacing today, I'd buy the new model. The problem is that people often try to compare them with MacBooks or iMacs, when they should be regarded as a discrete device, designed to do what it does, and to do it well. By and large, it succeeds admirably. I agree with you about the iPad Air, however. And the iPad Mini should also be addressed by Apple, because its form factor makes it perfect for a pocket-sized tablet, in contrast to the larger models. I'd say make it slightly smaller, if anything. That would leave it much better than the discontinued iPod Touch. Yes, the OS needs sorting out, firstly by giving it more capability for running multiple active apps simultaneously, giving it the capabilities of a MacBook. And it definitely needs to move away from being locked to a Mac in order to add multimedia to Music. Early versions of iTunes were pretty good, but Apple gradually crippled it by removing really useful features, before leaving us with the mess today that is Music. In particular, I hate the fact that media cannot be transferred to it easily from other apps, and that other apps cannot access the music library directly. To me, there's only one big hardware deficiency with all iPads: They need a second charging/accessory socket. Wifi is fine for some functions, but it really sucks in a busy environment, so a physical connection becomes essential. I often connect an SSD to this iPad, to transfer large files quickly when wifi is not available or inadequate for the task. If I want to recharge the battery at the same time, then I have a problem, and resorting to using a hub is untidy, prone to accidental disconnection and inconvenient in that situation.

[@failuretolaunchdrums]

[@MrMisticZ]

No wonder. Tablets are the best when it comes to taking notes. 1) They're light and small in comparison to books 2) You don't have to switch it around depending on the day of the month 3) You always have access to all of the notes you've taken 4) Storing notes and workbooks in the cloud allows for easy access from all your other devices as well 5) No paper waste 6) Touchscreen allows for taking notes in written form (almost essential for practice tasks) 7) Camera lets you take notes quicker and let's you have digital copies of all the tasks you've been given It's the perfect device for a student. Not iPad specifically, just any tablet. And because you don't need it to perform as good as a PC, you can just opt for the cheapest option with good software and writing experience. Personally, my Tab S8 has been invaluable, it saved me so much trouble.

The iPad Air is the go to iPad for students like me because it is the cheapest iPad with Apple Pencil 2 / pro support. A lot of us also tend to buy fake Apple pencils from Amazon because it’s cheaper and we don’t need all that pressure sensitivity stuff for taking notes. As long as the pencil charges wirelessly and pairs with the iPad we chill.

[@salocin9009]

Totally agree the M2 Air is the best option for students (or a refurbished M1/2 Pro), Apple is trying to sell students on the A14 chip in the base iPad. I own a 2020 iPad Air with A14 and it chugs when you try to do too much in Freeform or god forbid you have 2 apps open in full screen. It feels like any app not currently on screen gets kicked from the limited 4GB of RAM which is unacceptable when switching between lecture slides and goodnotes.

I think having a different OS for different devices in a product line is a dumb idea

[@chidorirasenganz]

There’s no macOS pro for the Mac Pro or Mac Studio 😂

[@TMC3000]

No it’s not…..windows has different version of windows os for different purposes so it’s doable with macOS or iPadOS. When adding pro to a device, make sure it supports that feature not just hardware but also software. I think the software even makes it more pro if done well and right now there is nothing pro about it cause it’s the same as others. So what’s the uniqueness!

[@jbladesandsblazegaming]

Well putting the fastest, most expensive chip in a device that can barely use it is also dumb

[@chidorirasenganz]

@@TMC3000 Windows isn’t macOS or iPadOS. Microsoft makes things needlessly complex, Apple doesn’t. Also what makes the iPad Pro special is its hardware just like the Mac Pro, Mac Studio and the MacBook Pro

[@chidorirasenganz]

@@jbladesandsblazegaming Considering M series is based on the AX series, it’s always was going to be this way. Also the iPad can easily take advantage of the additional power if you use it for creative tasks and gaming. It’s no different than a Mac

[@pcefbol6704]

Apple needs to boost Software, breakthroughs in applications + new creative developers. The Ipad is already a fantastic Hardware - they need just create a team of software developers to innovate the Ipad OS and applications. It is sad but unfortunately, the Ipad is an unfinished product.

[@jerry.berumen]

make AppleOS and have it run in everything

[@drill_fiend1097]

Ironically that’s what Microsoft tried to do with Windows Phone. They are trying again, but this time no phone Ui but still supporting ARM platform.

[@prrithwirajbarman8389]

​@@drill_fiend1097 Their environment management sucks. Every app needed to convert so they could run into their OS and they did nothing about it.

[@Ben-eu8dz]

One problem I'd highlight is having those really cheap entry-level iPads is really useful for businesses that build on top of them for visitor management and stuff like that.

[@solidsnake5751]

Apple is so out of touch with what its customers want from these devices that it’s equal parts hilarious and rage inducing! There is no vision or strategy for the iPad lineup other than to keep doing what they’ve been doing for a decade despite dwindling sales.

[@technicolourmyles]

What was that you were saying about there not being an iPhone Air?

[@jish8681]

I see the ipad as an extension of the iphone with a bigger screen with the addition of being able to take notes on it with the pencil, not like a replacement for a pc or laptop, of which i still use both. It's just nice to have a bigger screen to watch stuff on or control music on my speakers or write things down without needing a notebook. It doesnt need to be a replacement for a laptop like they seem to want it to be (although weird that they still put "enhanced" ios on it) its just nice to be able to do the same basic tasks i do on my phone with a nice huge screen, and hopefully that overkill performance will lead to more years of support.

[@TMC3000]

While I agree with you on some points being that iPad is just a larger iPhone,….i don’t quite support your opinion of it remaining so as they (APPLE) are trying to promote iPad Pro as a creative/productivity device rather than for content consumption. One will think it will be pro enough to be uniquely made for professional in various fields but No it’s not like that at all, just the same as others.

[@slampest]

2:00 im sorry, what?! Dude, have you EVER played a regular, newer game at high settings? Why do every person complain about the “too” fast hardware, when the M1 (that I own), cant even keep up with regular games? The Ipad is good as it is. Want macOS? Buy a macbook.

[@horacemui]

Well, I think the current ipad line-up is great! Having iPad Air is really a MUST to bridge the cheap iPad and the expensive pro models.

[@NeKa..]

You said it Jon! Although I would tweak a bit with your proposition of lineups. There is no need to be more than 3 ipad ranges, as you said. But here's the tweak (keeping how far competition has advanced now) iPad mini - one size - 256 to 512 GB - £400 - £500 max iPad Air - one size - 11" - 256GB , 513GB, 1TB - £600 - £1000 max MacPad - MacOS that can run iOS/iPadOS app store apps - one size - 13" - 256GB, 512GB, 1-2 TB - £1100 - £2000 max Apple pencil - 2 options - pencil (£80) and pro £120 max) - AND compatible with all touchscreen Apple devices. Of course people can find reasons why not. I, on the other hand, don't see why I should spend all that for limited used when competition is already more capable. I mean, don't even get me started why they won't talk about AI (or lack of thereof) but make pencil 'hover' a bold headline. In the end, my Samsung spen xan work both their tablets and phones, take a selfie, remote control slideshows, gp back/forward on browser on a flick, and perhaps more than I'm aware of. All this, and it's included in with ultras (phones or tablets). On the AI front, circle-to-search is in daily use, and every so often I using 3-4 floating apps, for my grocery orders and comparison along with my shopping lists. The Ultra thin M4 iPad Pro won't do half of all that, yet it's priced at twice as much at those ultra devices. This is not rocket science to see, as Jon said, ipad is ipad - mini or pro. But what saddens me most is that my one-time fav company is anything but customer-focused. I'm feeling Steve Jobs loss more with each passing year, where his products would speak for itself. Tim Cook ruined it with being focused only on APPL. Such an approach is ner sustainable. No wonder he has to bring an Asian face in the event stream to salvage his loosing China market share.

[@IdoGindes]

How about: * iPad - for people who needs a cheap and basic iPad for work, school or entertainment, one size, runs iPasOS * iPad Air - for people who want an iPad with more features and the Apple Pencil Pro, 3 sizes (mini, regular and Max), runs iPadOS * iPad Pro - for people who want the ultimate versatile Apple tablet-computer hybrid, 2 sizes, runs MacOS or preferably iPadProOS (which would be 70% MacOS and 30% iPadOS) I think this method would differentiate the iPad Air from the iPad Pro in a way that would make the iPad Pro worth it’s extremely high price compared to the iPad Air BTW, I was so disappointed when the event was over without the iPad mini getting some love 😢

[@firstnamelastname2971]

They will never do this

[@notCAMD]

Make MacOS option on the iPad

[@Devyn89]

I’m so tired of this conversation, if you don’t want iPadOS stop getting an iPad. People just say it’s not capable but don’t explain why, It’s great for me.

[@AndrewGeleff]

You missed the entire purpose of the video.

[@ladillalegos]

That’s the most useless comment

[@CPGrafismos]

If these tablets actually ran MacOS, they wouldn't be called iPad Pro. They would be called MacPad.

[@NoFeckingNamesLeft]

an iMac if you will

[@ramonlopezulloa2097]

I have a feeling they might redesign iPadOS at the next WWDC

[@AdamFalconieri]

I truly believe they’ll find a way to build the gap between iPadOS and macOS (fingers crossed for WWDC24). Imagine an iPad Pro, running kind of an ‘iPadOS Extreme’ software, where you can basically launch on a Mac style springboard when unlocking the device. With a real desktop view like macOS showing files and why not direct app shortcuts, connected to iCloud Drive. Ofc, keeping the App Store as it is on iPad and merge the actual one with the Mac App Store, as well as the App Library always in the dock to launch iPad-like App, AND real .dmg macOS apps, adapted for touch screen. It would be an insanely good deal. I would instantly buy a 1To M4 iPad Pro today with this kind of software update, where I could enjoy my favorite iPad Apps, as well as my Pro suite such as Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Cinema 4D, Figma & so much more.

[@VioletGOKU]

I politely disagree. I don't want iPads to have MacOS at all. I want iPads to be iPads, with all mobile apps working on it while being battery friendly. What I do want though, is for the iPad pros to have bigger battery instead of being thinner, have more durable design (water resistant, bend-proof, etc.).

[@u1tranatoryt323]

one idea for ipad os, when using stage manager to change the size of tabs, the image and text in the window should get smaller, not keep the same text. when i shrink down the size of a tab, i can’t see anything because the text or image is not fitting well.

[@x97k8]

iPad Os next month gonna blow everyone minds

[@kevingold1091]

Source?

[@dubidad]

Like it did last year?

[@no_way4165]

i agree. The hardware did blow my mind, next should be the software to make use of the M4 and the out of this world screen.

[@stevens7409]

Yeah that was stated when I got my M1 iPad. Never happened.

[@bilalshaikh6603]

Disappointed?

[@jhavarcytonge9439]

Agreed, it is to confusing, and persons keep asking me which on to buy.

[@Ultrajamz]

Needs terminal- but they want to keep us locked into the app store and settings app jail.

[@kshitijrajpoot9165]

No, they don’t need to remove the air, they need to reduce the price by few bucks and make it the iPad and discontinue the regular iPad, since iPad Air is the perfect middle ground between the iPad’s. It doesn’t has fiddly 1st gen pensil mechanism of the regular iPad plus it is compatible with the same Magic Keyboard of the pro, but enough to differentiate it from the pro with a more basic display with bezels and a single back camera

[@br5632]

Can I get the base model with a laminated display and a pencil that doesn’t require a cord? 😅

[@NelsonBonilla-xh2cg]

I just canceled my order doesn't make sense to order a new i pad with the same features i will just wait for next month and check if they changed the software in the ipad pro

[@AbbasAli-yk8kx]

I think it needs 2 OSs When you connect it to Magic Keyboard then it switches to MacOS but when you take it if it’s IpadOS

[@shaunpugh3287]

I was thinking along similar lines a couple of days ago. I have an M1 MacBook Air and it serves me well, no intention of replacing it. But... if I had to replace it, what would I get. The 13" iPad Pro, with the new fancy keyboard would be the ideal choice as I use illustration apps with a pen on my iPad mini, but then I wouldn't want to use iPad OS for my daily tasks. Put a better OS on the iPad and I could consolidate 2 devices into one, probably spending a similar amount, but it's less to carry around.

[@rizzzz1015]

I don't want Jerry to snap my recently bought $10000000 ipad in half in a second.

[@shatrix13]

SamsungDeX-like mode when docked or connected to the magic keyboard or external monitor

[@lbcck2527]

I gave up waiting for iPads to run MacOS. I have returned to Android/Windows. Cost-feature efficient and third-party reparable combination.

[@ninjanerdstudent6937]

When will people learn? Only the cheapest ipad is worth getting. The others have too much power and an overly restrictive operating system. The hardware-software balance is just off.

[@lapiswolf2780]

6:30 Is that a Xiaomi wallpaper? There were wallpapers like that in MiUI 14.

[@spacedcityskater]

What's a computer?

[@anaslahham]

iPad pro needs a dex like feature, connect it to a monitor and it becomes a lite iOS version. This is pro, what should we do with a mighty M4 on such limted os ?

[@carlosr1176]

All iPad is needs is a universal menu bar. Would allow for more pro apps. You can lock windows when on one screen but use windows when connected to a monitor.

[@druiznyc]

Here's how I would change the line up. First keep all the models but change some of the features. Make the Air the thin one (which makes sense) and with the Pro give us more battery and give back the physical sim slot. As a Pro user I wouldn't mind it being a little thicker/heavier if I didn't have to worry about the battery while traveling and the physical sim is just easier to deal with if you travel a lot for work over seas.

[@Connor-Colyer]

Hopefully they save it with iPad os18

[@LucaDinhNguyen]

and use 120hz screen on all ipads, the pro can use the Oled to differentiate

[@adrianbulete]

Straight to the point! 🎯

[@arungupta9140]

7:42 can you elaborate more on Steve Jobs and how the iPad mini fits his intention for the iPad?

[@vladimircorsair]

Since the apple sillicon and all the software updates to the architecture of the MacOS i don't see any reason not be able to plug my iPhone/iPad to a monitor and boot macOs with wireless keyboards etc.. I am still using 2016 macbook 12 inch. Which has a quintillion times slower CPU than my iphone

[@Old-School-Liberal]

What were you expecting??? What else can they do with an iPad??? Something magical???

[@vinepb]

If you just rename it (iPad Air -> iPad, iPad -> iPad SE) then it's basically iPhone lineup, same for the Macbook. Also, what Pro features would you actually use on iPad that are missing? From what Apple offers, only thing I can think of is Xcode. The key factor for each category is input type and screen size, more than software at this point. People who have use cases for this big phone-like thing + pencil (+ keyboard sometimes) are already using it, and people who don't say that it needs something else they themselves don't know what is. iPadOS based on MacOS and being able to install anything from the web would be something, but might end up being a bad thing.

[@logtothebase2]

So the thing you recommend to save the iPad is just tweaking the names?

[@jackychoi4462]

but there are 4 iphone options? the pro max? the plus?

[@Superawsomed]

Partner with companies such as Adobe and Ableton to create more "user friendly" versions on their apps for IPad such as Premeir pro and Ableton Live. You can go back and fourth between the versions to create on the go

[@jeffchastain2977]

Adobe has mobile versions of Lightroom and Photoshop that work great on my iPad Air gen4

[@K8Tech]

I wish to use the full versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and other Adobe apps on my iPad Pro.

[@marvelmorethan]

I use my iPad Pro as my personal computer, and I’m very happy with it. I’m excited for all of the new features announced this past week. I respect your opinion and passion, but I disagree.

[@nickthaskater]

Mini should just be a size option for the iPad and iPad Pro. Give the option to install mac OS on any M series iPad (or at least the Pro line).

[@Javas_Dream]

Apple’s earlier I-pad Pro 12.9. around (2015-2017) were great. They were sturdy, stylish, thin but not super thin, curved edges, great response, not too heavy, and offered white bezels which aren’t as noticeable as black. I don’t know why they didn’t keep this base and just improve on the battery, offer improved chips, picture, & decrease the size of the Top & bottom bezel. The measurements of the older 12.9 I-Pad Pro (2015-2017) are actually larger than The new I-Pad 13” Air & Pro.

[@Nero-was-Right]

Stop making it thinner! Make it LESS Bendible! Make it Stronger! Also Bigger battery Yes thicker battery thicker iPad

[@failuretolaunchdrums]

we need a thicccc boi iPad that we can use as a melee weapon in the zombie apocalypse and last for 72 hours on a single charge!

[@Escile]

This ad with a visual yellow bar indicator is so cool! Well done man

[@MrFaleh1129]

5:05 i would agree with you but theres one caveat and that is the lineup should be like this ipad mini , ipad air and ipad pro just name the middle one ipad air instead of just "ipad" as it would get confusing

[@Jhd1274]

The air is a great product but too middle ground, needs to either be simplified and meet iPad in the middle or go up and replace pro (Add a few core features but lower procd)
