Maybe you can explain what’s bad about the iPad. I’ve watched several reviews that basically said that the older iPads seem to still be enough to fit their needs.

As someone with an iPad Air with M1, I'm not sure if anyone is screaming for more CPU power in an iPad.

I did get the updated iPad Air, only because of the upcoming AI focus that will require more processing power for even basic tasks. I don't think having the Mac OS on it would make a difference to me. if I can run media consumption apps and social media apps. I am fine. I think Apple missed an opportunity to make the iPad Pro into a media creation device for mobile situations like onset activities that need high mobility and access to tier-one MacOS applications for people in situations where time costs real money and the MacBook's and iMacs can be featured for post-production.

I think what apple often forgets is that for most consumers: Price actually matters... When you create something like this with ludicrous prices many will not be willing to upgrade or swap. It has to offer great experience at a decent price. It is the reason many use android and windows. Products that are 95% of the way there in comparison to apple but 50% cheaper or more... Also has apple ever done a survey about what consumers want? I think most would prefer a 15-20 hr+ battery life instead of a thinner, more breakable, ipad. Additionally cramming an M4 into an ipad is so ludicrous - the thing will overheat if it is using it to the max for any amount of time. Maybe save 200-500$ on the chip for all consumers? Ipad for 95% of people is not a workstation... Trying to cram the niche use case of "artist" on everyone is mad.

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 😢

As a total Apple junkie with an iPhone 14 Plus, a 13 Mini a 15 Pro along with the 5 newest iPads including a 12.9 2TB Pro these newest iPads revealed have convinced me to get a Galaxy Ultra Tab S9. This Apple greediness thing has really been making me look at Samsung for the last few years.

Good job on this review. I have the M1 12”. Not going to upgrade and even if this one breaks I am going to purchase the older one where my accessories still work. Huge lost opportunity to make an IPad with a huge battery for those of us that use it on the go for work.
@jacob.williams4 ай бұрын
Exactly. I’m on a 2020 Pro, and having to repurchase all the accessories is the primary factor in my not upgrading. I’ll look at refurbished M series models if anything.

They’re not telling you to buy a new device. And most smart people know apple devices last way longer that others and upgrade 2 to 3 years at the time. Just upgrade my iPhone 12. Nothing wrong with the phone. I just wanted the new spatial video option. You buy when you need it.

40 years of pure ignorance. Their whole shtick is thinner, minimalist devices. No intel/gpu stickers on their laptops. White, grey, and black is the most common colors. Part of the reason why they removed the headphone jack is because they wanted to make the devices thinner. He doesn't work at Apple anymore but ever heard of Jony Ive? If you knew, you would know that every year the Apple's devices have gotten thinner and thinner under his design philosophy

Last iPad I bought was the 2020 iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard. It’s still a great device but it’s the iOS software that lets it down and why I use my M2 Mac more over it. The iPad only gets used now when I need an extra screen and it’s actually heavier than the Mac which is ridiculous.

The reason why the previous Apple Pencil doesn't work on the new models is because they needed to redesign the internals for the pencil magnets for the pencil to fit there since they moved the camera to the landscape so it's taking up space. I feel like even thought some of the things you said might be right, we need to remember that designing products that fit everyone's needs is not as easy as KZbinrs may think it is, design is such a challenge and Apple has some of the best designers in the world, so they probably have thought about all of this but haven't found a "one size fits all" solution yet.

They make more money selling two different devices that have 2 completely different target audiences instead of selling 1 device that can do it all.
