M4 iPad Pro (2024) - First 17 Things To Do! (Tips & Tricks)

[@BrandonButch]

What's the very first thing you do when getting a new iPad?

[@mokaLARE]

Set it up from the previous one I have.

[@DisasterMaster3K]

Screen protector, case and the purchase of AppleCare plus.

[@jamaican8767]

iPad 8th gen. Still works great

[@Tim_Myers]

Open the box and turn it on.

[@refuztosay9454]

Search for things to turn off in setting like apple spying on me…

[@AndrewC89]

The 80% limit really works. I’ve had it on my iPhone 15 pro since launch, and I’m at 210 cycles and still at 100% health.

[@BrandonButch]

That's awesome to hear! I'd imagine it makes an even larger impact on the iPads. We will see!

[@diegan23]

Tricky for me on my iPhone 15 Pro max because I’m generally well below 20% charge when I head to bed and charge at night. Don’t wanna run out of gas before bed c

[@Spacey219]

I charge to 100%, primarily use fast chargers, 243 cycles and 100%

[@egcruzer]

Same with my 15pro. Kept in 80% limit only charge it to 100 when I’m going to events or concerts. Still at 100 percent capacity since launch day

[@Nathanest]

I can’t get the logic - why would I want to experience poor batter life in a brand new device? How many years of normal use (including occasionally letting the iPad sit on a charger to 100%) would result in the battery health dropping down to 80%? My 2018 iPad Pro has only just hit ~80% after many years of faithful service… just enjoy the 10hours & move on

I Just received my new iPad Pro 13 today. This is actually my very first IPad and tablet I ever owned. I’m so excited! 😊

how do you like it? is it too big?

hi guys，do you need a iPad Pro 13 inch keyboard? I can give you to use and you can share your experience

[@ChrisWatts-l9n]

I just bought the 13inch iPad Pro. I watched your video which is very easy to follow/ thank you

[@christopherwilkey3377]

I'm grateful that you've explained even the simple gestures because I've never owned an Apple device before this one and didn't even know the basics. Lots of people just assume that if you're buying an iPad, then you own an iPhone. Thank you for not assuming😅

[@MichaelEMaul]

All tips were helpful as a new iPad user. This device is amazing!! I have disabilities and had an appointment scheduled at my local Apple Store when I picked it up to help me.

[@2ndthoughts_]

Can you send the link to the wallpapers you have?

[@mikester24622]

Do u think by turning the iPad OFF when not in use it might save on battery life the most?

[@Andy-rc9db]

Thanks for this - I’ve been using an iPad Pro since the original launch, and there are a few tips in here which are new to me and will improve my workflow. Thanks again.

[@TheFoxheart14]

Upgrading from the mini 6 to the m4 11”! I’m starting student teaching this upcoming school year and I need something bigger!

[@The_beauty_expert_ni]

I JUST GO MY FIRST IPAD! Your video has been sooo helpful! Thanks a lot men! ❤

[@jf9123]

Dude, you saved my LIFE with the Reduce White Point setting!!! This 13” M4 iPad Pro has an AMAZING screen, but in dimly lit environments, it can be brutally bright. I set my reduce white point to 25% (the lowest less bright) and it has made all the difference. Thank you so much!

[@drubee7793]

I just got my new iPad Pro 13 .It’s a bit 😂 of an upgrade from my iPad Air 3rd gen. I found this video so useful thank you. All the new features are overwhelming.

[@oludayoalli8308]

14:10 If you are struggling to get this done, the Swipe finger from corner only works when the stage manager is turned off.

[@victoria-9307]

Was gonna mention this!

[@MidnightRunnah]

I am embarrassed to say this. I just ordered the new iPad Pro 11” with all of the upgrades possible. I’m coming from an iPad mini 4 😂. Anyway, can’t wait to get my new iPad next week and try all of these features.

[@mightyorcagames2898]

I have the 11” M1 iPad Pro, and my M4 13” is coming today. I’m stoked for the difference in screen since mine just had regular led 🥹🥹🥹

[@thomas.glover]

I just got my new iPad Pro 13 inch in Silver, with Magic Keyboard in white, and the Apple Pencil Pro - looking forward to unboxing it. Was just wondering - is it worth getting a screen protector for the iPad, and if so, which would you recommend?

[@joeparadise4260]

Just purchased a new 13” M4 iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard, and your video is absolutely EXCELLENT! An enormous help! Thank you so much Brandon!!!

[@Somtric]

Can you spare some money so I can get one too.. maybe just 50% of the price? xD

[@melvinjradornogalay]

You go the 1Tb or the 256-500 Gb

[@kimseymour8896]

This is a really good video for understanding how to use this new iPad. It’s been extremely helpful thanks..

[@hectortenorio777]

Wish you would have posted a link to your video on gestures that you mentioned in that section, that would be helpful! Great videos btw!

[@KristenAngelica]

Just upgraded to the 13in pro from my m1 11inch. This thing is huge lol😂 I’m having trouble finding videos that aren’t all about replacing the MacBook. I have both, I just want to use each as individuals.

[@matthewwhitted9179]

I think I should have ordered the 11 inch iPad air I have a 13 inch iPad Air on order 13 inch is a monster size.

[@HK-NYC]

Has the Tandem OLED screen showed any flickering since you had it? thanks.

[@hazza.42]

I’ve found a 5 finger pinch to be way more consistent than 4 fingers for closing apps. You kinda have to swipe up with 4 fingers to go home, but 5 fingers is just a pinch.

[@galefraney]

Fantastic video, even though I've been using iPad Pro for years, I've always used a separate bluetooth keyboard and for the first time, with this new M4 iPad Pro, I also bought the new keyboard and Pencil Pro ... so your video taught me a lot of tips I was unaware of. One thing on this new M4 iPad Pro that I find a bit frustrating, is that with the M4 iPad on the keyboard feeling so similar to my MacBook laptop, so I continually try using the keyboard and trackpad to glide over to my other iPad, as I'm able to do on the MacBook with "Universal Control". It seems that this function should also be available on the M4 iPad Pro with its capable hardware. I always have a few iPad Pros set up next to each other and when using my MacBook keyboard I can glide across to access all iPads simultaneously, to drag & drop files, etc. This "Universal Control" feature definitely needs to be added to iPad so that users only need a single keyboard to operate all open iPads (and should also work with iPhone if it is also open nearby) with all devices connected to the same Apple ID.

[@Thepublicaccount]

I definitely would like a gestures video. I’ve had iPad before I do have an iPhone, but I got away from iPad for probably the last six years and I’m purchasing the pro model. It will be here Friday

[@markk1753]

Thanks for the video. Since the new IPad Pro uses OLED display, I advice to turn the darkmode always on because black screen saves battery life.

[@romans11277]

This is so helpful! Even tho I’ve been using apple products forever. Thank you for making this

[@Drgamez716]

You can disable dynamic volume buttons if you go to sound and toggle on fixed position volume controls

[@ITSBROWSINGTIME]

When you use the squeeze the pencil and the menu comes up, instead of clicking to choose one of the drawing tools you can double tap instead. So you can switch tools without even touching the screen.

[@itz_feley417]

Thanks for your awesome video. I appreciate it a lot because yesterday I bought my first ever iPad, the 11“ iPad Pro. I‘m loving it

[@_aaroneous]

This is a very informative video. I didn’t know about the battery limit and swipe from corner options. Thank you!

[@ilyaghassemi7079]

you CAN change the volume button orientation, i have it to static mode its in settings

[@elijaholiver5710]

I hope this doesn’t confuse you or anyone else, but I’m gonna try to ask as best I can. I just got my iPad a couple days ago and I’ve noticed that I can only access the emojis through pressing the globe on my keyboard. There’s no longer an emoji button on the actual keyboard. I see that you have it correctly, so I’m wondering if I’ve mistakenly turned it off or it’s no longer available? I’m currently running iPadOS 18.1 27:55

[@MrEnoch-dy4tg]

Any update on why squeeze function don’t work for most ppl??

[@panagiotisgalinos1335]

Is there any way to disable this annoying black bar in the middle of the screen that, when swiped left and right, changes the current app you are in?

[@murdockdeechte]

can you get through the day with your ipad pro if you don't charge higher than 80%? i still have the ipad pro 2018 and want to buy the new one but i'm only doubting between the 11 or the 13 inch? now i have the 11 inch 256 GB.

[@3Unique]

Great video but IMO the Logitech Combo Touch Keyboard Case is a far superior keyboard to the Magic Keyboard and the UK anyway about half the price.

[@1TiffFranklin]

Do you have a screen protector on your ipad? Or did you get the Nano‑texture display?

[@abrahamroberts2040]

Thank you Brandon! I picked up the M4 Ipad pro 13" and this is very helpful!

I tried to activate the Swipe Finger to Corner option but tapping the on/off button fails to activate. Am I missing something ? Thanks

What’s your home screen wall paper. Does it come with the ipad.

hi bro, nice vid helped me a lot, btw what controller are u using for ur emulator games? TIA

[@bapbiswas]

Excellent useful video thanks

[@mohbkhaled6051]

The best tutorial to follow tbh he covered everything

[@BrandonButch]

🙌

[@BobBack86]

4:05 It says if it goes down to 75%, it will charge again up to 80%. I don't know, but considering this statement, it will not use the power from the power adapter if it is in use and at 80%, right? This isn't good. I know older iPads work this way. I have the M1 Pro, which works this way, but I thought it would be better for this new one. On my Macbook, when it reaches 80%, it changes the power source to the power adapter, this is great for battery, and the iPad should do the same. Then you could use it even as a second display for the Mac without being concerned.

[@lafnm1480]

Searched videos on what to do when getting M4 iPad. This one was most useful out of all of them.

[@Laha981]

Sir my ipad pro m4 sound is not good when sound are 20-40% than no any sound hearing but when increase to 60-70% sound is so loudly can you please tell me I replaced it or not?

Not sure anyone noted this correction, but you can turn off Dynamic Volume. Settings > Sounds > Fixed Position Volume Controls

[@diegan23]

Great video. Thanks for clearing up the dynamic volume thing for me. In landscape when adjusting volume, I thought I was going crazy. 😝

[@thedave1771]

I’m debating returning the iPad over this, it’s utterly obnoxious that you have a 50/50 shot of a button working or doing the opposite.

the Apple Pencil is gen 1 right?

A good case with the Logitech Mx keyboard and Anywhere mouse with a mousepad is better than the Magic Keyboard.

[@BommeltjeNL]

When you have apps in the gallery that you don't use on any of the screens, is there a way to see which ones you're not actually not using? And I'm not referring to the unused apps function in Settings. I have a lot of apps in the gallery and I haven't used them for a long time. I want to delete them, but I can't go forward and back 100 times to see if each app in the gallery is in on a page yes or no. Do you have a quicker way?

[@DJReverb99]

The ability to switch between fixed and dynamic volume controls is in the sounds settings menu.

[@BrandonButch]

it's not. you can't change it on the Pro or Air

[@DJReverb99]

80% charging limit DOES NOT work on my M4 13 inch iPad Pro. I tried it yesterday, I checked it was activated, set it to charge (from about 40%), it went all the way to 100%.

[@mikemccormick6128]

I haven't changed the setting on mine, but it does say that it will charge to 100% some of the time in order to keep the percentage accurate. Maybe leave it on 80% for a few charge cycles and see if it works. Or you could Message Apple and see what they say.

The gesture suggestions aren’t available when you are in stage manager

[@deshaunw5075]

I can’t get Split View to work, it just overlays the other app on the top and the 3 dots don’t give those options

[@kona2day]

I’m new to using the iPad Pro and the new Pencil Pro. I was wondering what app are you using to do the “straighten text” and “add signature”. I was trying different things and neither of those options were available.

[@easternv1lle]

For the barrel roll, he used Freeform. For the straighten text and add signature, he used the markup feature in the Notes app

[@easternv1lle]

Or I think Procreate and Notes

[@mikemccormick6128]

For adding a signature; open the Notes app, click on the paper and pencil icon in the upper right corner, then either tap on the blank page with the Apple Pencil or squeeze the Apple pencil close to to tip area but not on the tip. A palette will pop up. Tap the plus symbol, and Add Signature should be available.
