This generation in particular was terrible from Qualcomm the snapdragon 8 gen 1 has serious overheating issues to the point that it is better to buy last-gen chips rather than the new ones. Disastreous year from Qualcomm. Anyways, I must say that the s8 tabs are better than the ipads despite the difference in performance, they are just more functional overall (lest you are an artist, where Apple has better apps for that).

[@mrbobo86]

It's too bad the iPad software is crap and limited

[@cressothegrey4354]

I wouldn’t say iPads are overpriced when they perform just as well as MacBook Airs. A tablet that can compete with a PC is very impressive. Especially when it’s cheaper and has a better display, not to mention a touch screen. If they brought an optional MacOS to iPads, it would essentially become a more budget friendly MacBook Air with a touchscreen. And that’s great.

[@angelopebs]

If it could do that I literally wouldn't buy Macbooks anymore and just go with the iPad lol

[@reboxtherapy]

they aren't overpriced at the moment, however 10 years down the road, even with mint condition 10 year old iDevice that still outperforms any android device in 2031, apple could make your device stop working.

[@sorrai]

i wish they would do that, but they never will because that would lower the sales of their macbooks

Now there are certain things like huge amount of cache on iPhones that are advantageous and few other designs where it just has more power in certain cases emulation wise I’d probably say even tho the iPhone can’t emulate at 4k it does seem to be able to emulate GameCube higher than android can

[@AntiGrieferGames]

@@nullsurfer Wait when m3 ipad pro with oled screen coming out, so everyone will switch just for this screen, so will be good sales of that. But a gtx 1650 laptop are more worth honestly.

[@GohanSSJZ]

They are absolutely still overpriced, and the biggest issue is storage. It isn't that a M1/M2 iPad is that overpriced, it's that getting one with decent storage is. I actually just bought a second handed 1TB M1 12.9 with pen and magic keyboard, now this cost me 990 euro. Now if I get that model refurbished with both, that costs me 2267 euro. You could argue I don't need either of those additions, but the tablet itself is still 1689 (which is btw 640 euro more than the 128GB) Compare the full package with say a Windows gaming laptop, and you are getting pretty much top end specs for a laptop. You could also get a M1 Air here for about a 1000 or a Pro 13 inch with the M2 for under 1600. Now obviously they will have low storage as well, because storage is absurdly expensive. But you need that storage, you don't want to constantly hook up an external drive, and this ain't 2010. Games, apps, videofiles etc all get super big. A bunch of games are now 10GB+. Video editing etc can be great on iPads, but how great is video editing with 128GB's of storage? So the minimum price is acceptable, because these chips are amazing and it's what made me buy my first Apple device ever. However, getting extra storage will break the bank. So until they change their insane storage prices (1TB SSD costs about 50 euros), their devices won't be used for it's full potential, unless the buyer has a ton of money and won't mind spending 3k+ for a brand new iPad Pro with pencil, keyboard and 1TB+ of storage. And I want to be really clear how absurd this is, 8GB of memory and 2TB of storage, which would costs like 150 if you buy it in a PC, and which will be 100 tops for Apple to put in, makes the price go from 1469 to 2849. Almost double. It is unacceptable.

now we just need the open web advocacy to allow 3rd party browsers. The amount of old iPhones/iPads that will be saved from landfills for basic web browsing would be insane. Which could also help PWA/SPA become more viable in further breaking down Android/iOS Appstore duopolies.

So, I'll stick to Android for mobile emulation for now, because Google seems 'much less' likely to disrupt things in the way that Apple does. (Of course, nothing beats a nice PC rig for full emulation control, but obviously it's a lot less flexible in its mobility.)

The Samsung tab S8/9 ultra really isn’t more expensive than the iPad Pro 12.9. That shouldn’t be your primary deciding factor. The S8/9 ultra comes with the pen. That’s over $100 and evens the pricing. Samsung is also giving the keyboard case free right now as well. With discounts it actually makes the S8/9 cheaper. I’m about to pull the trigger and have been debating hard. For me the conflict is the eco systems. I happen to have iPhones, and MacBooks so it would seem that an iPad Pro would make more sense, but that huge screen of the S8/9 is absolutely seductive. With that said, the real question for me is how important is having the tablet be in the Apple ecosystem. I mean I could use the iPhone and MacBook for all of my Apple needs. The iPad is essentially just a luxury item, and could mostly be used for media consumption which keeps pulling me back to the S9 😂

@@martinantelo7086 Not so much if one can't resolve the pixels at native resolution nor if the original graphics have low rez sprites / textures meant for much lower resolutions.

[@utubekullanicisi]

No. In fact higher than 1440p will actually look worse than resolutions closer to the resolution of the display. Especially if you're running at much higher resolutions like >5K. At that point you need a higher resolution display for it to not be meaningless.

we finally are getting emulators on the App Store. who knows maybe someday we can play Switch Games on the IPad🙂

[@prosto1076]

I hope in the next year when Apple allow to install different app stores, iPad will be much convenient for people as me

[@Yoedi16]

But it is limited and harder to do emulation on IOS

[@Garrettdx1988]

These are the only performance tests I wait for

The 2 minute mark where you were playing some video of colorful lava…Can you please provide the link or where that’s from? Great video

Hi, I am a long time iPad user, currently using the 2018 iPad Pro. It can just about run Wind Waker in Dolphin with occasional hiccups. I am on the fence, between upgrading my iPad to the M2 or rather buying the Steam Deck for emulation. Any thoughts?

[@ETAPRIME]

If the iPad you have is working now I would personally pick up the Deck.

[@Gabry179]

Steam deck is WAY better

I saw Need For Speed Underground 2 in one of your library’s, I’d love to know how well that runs !

[@ToneysReviews]

I wish I knew how to emulate my iPad Pro to turn it into a gaming machine

[@Yomachaser]

2 emulators max via a workaround is kinda sad tbh. The moment they get sued and are forced to allow sideloading ill buy an ipad for sure but til then.

[@alexmatos2659]

@ETAPRIMEN please do a video about usb controllers support for this iPad. As you own a lot of controllers it would be interesting to see the new usb controllers support

[@mikanguyen7082]

Microsoft has just released Project Volterra and I hope you will test it out soon!

[@Randuski]

When I saw that you were gonna try GameCube emulation my first thought was “damn, it would be cool to play timesplitters 2 again”, and what do you know, it was the first game you showed for GameCube 🤣 I never knew anyone else who played that game back in the day, but god damn it was good haha

I literally played first game on retro arcade machine last summer
