iPad Pro M2 12.9 - 1.5 Years Later: Still Worth The Investment?

iPad Pro 12.9 released over 430 days ago. I have been using the iPad Pro 12.9 M2 every day since it released. In this video I share my experience with iPad Pro M2 and talk about the iPad Pro long term durability, display, performance, Magic Keyboard durability, and iPad Pro 12.9 battery health and battery life to help you decide if you should upgrade to it.

The iPad is the most resilient device of all the Apple products. I still use my 2018 iPad Pro and has not given any signs of performance aging.

[@T10107]

Yep, haven't felt the need to upgrade since 2018. The 2018 iPad Pro was a generational leap, much like the M1 MacBook Pro. Now, the 2023 iPhone 15 Pro Max seems to be in the same category, especially with USB-C. It's future proof, just like the 2018 iPad Pro and the M1 MacBook Pro. Apple really hasn't given us any compelling reasons to upgrade beyond any of these devices.

[@MushiGang]

My 2020 iPad Pro 12.9in gets close to 22 hours of use every day (I use it as an afk device for a game I play when I’m asleep or out of the house) My battery health is in the mid 60s & I’ve gotten a maxed out memory warning multiple times. (It’s gotten oven hot) I’ve kept it on iOS 16 to try and keep it from slowing down further as I already reach its max capabilities some days. If I take the case off, however, it looks like it just came out of the box new. (my case has a plastic screen cover) 😂 I plan on using it until it just goes kaput (hopefully another 3-5 years, as I plan on using all my devices until they stop getting security updates)

[@dxtnguyxn4179]

That a12x was overkill at the time.

[@Smithy223]

Because they don’t make iPads every year so they don’t make yours have problems on purpose so you feel the need to upgrade like you would with an iPhone

[@gertwallen]

@@Smithy223 I'm still using my iPhoneX from 2018, rock solid and no need to upgrade at all, looking forward to many more years of use. Having said that I'm not defending Apple, their products are certainly overpriced, I'd never buy a laptop from them, for sure.

[@HeisenbergT]

Still using the 12.9 m1 for almost 3 years now. Absolutely love this iPad and I’ve never had a single issue!

[@dmitrimoscoglo1825]

i just got one (m1, 12.9, 256, cellular), and am very happy. saved a buck and still got all features !!

[@HeisenbergT]

@@dmitrimoscoglo1825 awesome! You will love it! I have the 512gb cellular version. Way more space than I’ll ever need but it was the only one Verizon had at the time of release.

[@bruceinmyheart]

I also didn’t upgrade from the M1 12.9» iPad Pro to the 2022 M2. I really wanted to, but the only difference was like a 7% increase in processing power. Everything else is identical 😅

[@MLTAKOS]

is the pixel response really bad for you guys too on the pro or is it just mine? The ghosting is really bad and annoying when switching to other better panel devices and it really stands out

[@HeisenbergT]

@@MLTAKOS I only notice severe back light bleeding when launching dark background apps like Netflix.

My 2018 iPad Pro still going strong 5yrs later. I expect the M2 to last 8-10yrs.

[@JCourts2k23]

I have the 11" with Magic Keyboard and love it. I rarely remove it from the keyboard.

[@FemaleVillageElder]

Thanks for this iPad centric video, as your reviews are always very thorough. I got an M2 iPad Pro and passed my M1 down to my daughter who was still on the first 9.7 iPad Pro. I went ahead and got this M 2 because I am a little apprehensive about the OLED screens that are supposed to be coming and their rumored issues with burn in. I prefer how-to videos done on the iPad because I don’t have an iOS phone and the formatting is different. With these bigger screens, I can better see how to do things. Apple is not much help in this regard and so you are very appreciated.

[@RoBeRtO365100]

I have the iPad Pro 12.9 inch M2 cellular 512 GB model. This is my second one the first one the Face ID stopped working on it so far it’s been absolutely fantastic. No problems at all never slows down battery last as advertised I use that in my phone about the same, still highly recommend it

[@ChrisCo813]

I LOVE my M1 iPad 12.9!!! But I would definitely have to say it’s my 2nd favorite apple device..as the Apple Watch Ultra is by far my favorite to this point..with that being said my iPad is my main device I use for almost everything outside of my actual phone.. I used it to create documents, scan documents, consume content and even check my e-mails and text messages when my phone is charging or not near me at the moment…My 14 pro max comes in a close third but I am planning on getting the 16 pro max this year!!! 🤤

[@TheForbiddenMessage]

Jokes aside, this will go a long way, the m2 chip is so powerful and not everyone needs it but those who do won’t regret such mind blowing machine

[@4070super]

Yeah and I don’t think iPad Airs need an M series chip, I think it just need the best A Processor available would be good enough. Don’t get me wrong the M series processors are very good headroom and should be amazing for longevity but I don’t think that much power is needed for that level of user.

[@Perfection100]

Agreed

[@kingMohuraKraftehOfBeeland]

That is why is called the iPad Pro. For pro people with a pro processor

[@bradcolby3624]

Got this in November of last year at a discount on Amazon. Upgraded from the 2018 11 inch IPad Pro. Absolutely love this and use it all the time. I am not paying for the additional projected price increase for the OLED model.

[@Branchofzion]

I still have the M1 12.9. Never felt a need to upgrade.

[@TThoMusic]

Thanks for the info! Just bought an M2 iPad Pro as I was told the new one isn't gonna be released until June and I'm impatient...✌🔥😁

[@danielgartin-oh9ik]

Nice iPad dude, I just got my first MacBook today, a MacBook Air mid 2017

[@1490WKRO]

Hey there Aaron, my buddy I actually have been using the regular iPad but I got the 256 GB with 5G and man it’s really good I really love that thing that one is my go to for my games and live streaming. Yes, that is my workhorse but awesome and keep up the good work, my friend and blessings to you and your family.

[@Emersynhix]

I have the M1 12.9 and have for almost two years now. I love it and use it daily

[@markreed9257]

My 2018 iPad Pro stopped taking a charge last summer. Took it in, there was nothing they could do. I ended up buying the newest iPad Pro (didn’t really want to until a full redesign, but I gotta have my iPad!). So comparing the two, I never would have bought it if I hadn’t “had to”.

[@Laaava806]

I’m still using the first iPad Pro 2015 9.7 inch and still performs amazing.

[@donne8694]

I love my I pad pro 12.9 with M1 processor,I use it daily for at least 8 hrs and usually get 10 hrs of use from the battery , watching you tube , and surfing internet

[@RiannaNicole]

i upgraded from an ipad 7th gen to the Air 5th gen, then wanted the bigger screen size, so went with the m2 12.9” and traded in the 7th gen that my partner took, and now he has the 5th gen Air. we’re happy with both, and know that the Air will last him till it doesn’t take support anymore, as he’s a light user (uses it for a few apps, searching gaming how to’s and occasionally watching videos, and the iMessage/Facetime features when i’m traveling, as his current phone is Android). I’m enjoying all of the creative features with art and the apple pencil, and just getting into video editing, so the M2 will hold up for me, as a companion to my Mac Mini and Macbook air, that both have M1 chips in them (the Mini is spec’d up some, and the MBA is base model). looking forward to what Apple has in store for the future mostly with iPadOS, as i don’t see myself upgrading anytime soon with having the same specs you have.

[@raspberryland_]

I have the M2 12.9" iPad Pro and it was the best purchase I made in 2023 alongside the Magic Keyboard and the Apple Pencil 2. Such a wonderful device and I use it more than my MacBook 🥹 I do so many things on my iPad .. whether photo editing or playing highly demanding games and the typical work typing and especially the content consuming part, chef's kiss! I know this iPad will last me a long time and I regret nothing at all.. there is the M3 iPad Pro redesign but honestly the performance difference between the M2 and M3 are super small just like from the M1 to M2. Even from the M1 to M3 it isnt a huge upgrade. Super satisfied ❤ if you can get one discounted you should definitely go for it you wont be disappointed!

[@Fluxxus07]

ty for you opinion bro. How much storage does you IPAD has? im planing to buy an M2 12,9" and use it for editing photos and music. I want to replace my old ipad which i used for tattoo desing and my macbook

[@Fatcat-ss6nh]

I got the iPad Pro in May with an Apple pencil and I’m loving it I use it for animation and drawing. And the 12.9 inch screen is good for watching videos as well. I tried alien isolation on there and it runs smoothly with the m2 chip. And you can pair a controller to play as well. But it does heat up in the back where the Apple logo is a little if you play on high graphics. And other than that the game looks amazing on the iPad Pro. I can’t imagine what the iPad with the m3 chip will be like.

[@petrostzekos8914]

Hi! Nice video, I like how you also talk about the Magic Keyboard! How do you clean it? I have the 11-inch version paired with my iPad Air 4, and it has very obvious stains in the back. I want to clean it but i don’t know how. I’m afraid not to damage it.

[@Hi65009]

Thank you for sharing with us. One question please, I use a lot apple news app and also read books online a lot. Is the M2 12.9in good for that? Thanks

[@user-hl9jq8iz4i]

I am using AIR 4 it’s been almost 4 yrs and it’s still amazing ❤

[@Davehaha2001]

I have the 11” iPad Pro the first M1 and it’s perfect still love the design it’s got no flecking issues I had had and use it without a keyboard just the original Apple cover and it’s look the age but still keeps the amazing screen which is why I got it and the chip M1 is good for easy editing videos and the iPad stays cool it my favourite Apple product it’s expensive in Australia so not many have them

[@IJones]

Looking forward to iPad Mini 7 and the next iPad Pro 11 inch, I hope the screen is as rich as the 12.9. I just traded in my 2020 12.9 cellular. But i had issues with the buttons being hard to press. Everything else was flawless.

[@MushiGang]

My 2020 iPad Pro has been through a LOT. It is down to the mid 60s in battery health (when checking through analytics) & has given me multiple maxed out memory warnings (it gets really hot) The physical iPad itself though has been flawless - I think it’s my chunky case with a screen protector saving it 😂

[@jameshoopes6467]

My complaint from years of iPad experience is the USB charging port. It breaks over 3 to 5 years. I’m glad the new keyboard has its own charging port. Makes the whole thing more reliable. Love, love, love my iPad.

[@Rivals-jo4ns]

I bought it on 26oct 2022 and have been using for average of 8-10 hours everyday since then . No problems yet

[@pickinfan9476]

I bought my Ipad Pro 12.9 inch 256gb Gen 4 June 2021. It stopped charging Jan 2024. Took it to an apple repair shop who said Apple would not touch it because the screen on this model cannot be removed for repair. So buy this model with the understanding that it is disposable! I have now bought a tab S9 plus. Better screen, better sound and repairable

[@vincentd123456]

Still have the first 11 inch ipad pro and I have no issues with it still. At this point, the only thing keeping me from not upgrading are software updates. I don't plan on replacing my 11 inch ipad pro until apple stops supporting the device

[@BlindMansRevenge2002]

I don’t have vision, so the bigger better screen doesn’t make any sense to me but, performance does. I was one of the first ones to order up an iPad Air fifth GEN when I learned that they were going to come with the M1 chip. Max spec mine to 256 gigs of space, as well as adding cellular. To this day, running the latest version of iPad, OS 17, the thing is as buttery, smooth and responsive, as when I first took it out of the box.

[@Annette_Hons]

I’m still using my 2020 iPad Pro 12.9 and absolutely LOVE it. Only problem, after keeping the Apple Pencil constantly connected for over a year and using the Apple Magic Keyboard, the battery degradation is substantial. The battery only last about 4 hours. I stopped leaving the pencil constantly connected and I now only use the Magic Keyboard when necessary. Other than that, it’s still going strong. I got an 11” pro in late 2023 and I don’t keep the pencil connected or use apple keyboard with it. Hoping this will prolong battery life. But back to the 12.9 it’s FANTASTIC, can’t praise it enough. When it finally dies, I’ll replace it for sure! I had the original 12.9 when it first came out and replaced it with the 2020 model. I’m hearing the iPad Air is coming out in 2024 with a 12.9 and if that actually happens, I may just trade my pro 12.9 for the 12.9 Air, as it would be perfect for my needs.

[@JustAPersonWhoComments]

Tbh, an iPad with M2 chip is that powerful 1 and a half years later. If you are planning to upgrade to an M3 Chip iPad Pro, I do or don’t recommend it for this year, but those with older versions of iPads is definitely a great upgrade

[@pressrepeat2000]

This and the 11” are simply the perfect devices. Just perfect. I wish we could run MacOS on it, as some software is still not bailable or nerfed on iOS, even stuff like Apple Number or all the Microsoft apps, where I wish I could run the full version. I have the 16Gb 1Tb iPad version and it’s just so overpowered for iOS apps.

[@Sinthasized]

I upgrade to the new 12.9(or Largest available) Pro each time it's updated. Im like you, I use it everyday for almost everything. I even edit my videos on it as I dont upload on any regular basis or have a need for super advanced editing. I game almost exclusively on mobile platforms and the Pro is top of the food chain of mobile devices. I wasn't even sweating upgrading from the M1 to the M2. Facetime on iPad is worthless and I uninstall it from all of my iPads. So terrible.

Upgraded to this exact same model as shown here from a iPad Pro 2017 which is on its last legs so wanted to get a replacement before it finally gives out. Got a good deal on it and even if I could have waited for the new version I was put off by the rumours that the new iPad would have OLED as OLED brightness degrades over time and I keep my iPads a long time before upgrading and that fact concerned me. What’s the betting that now I’ve bought the M2 version they’ll delay switching to OLED for another year and I’ll go duh! 😂

The battery life on the M2 11 Inch is actually better than the M2 12.9 inch because of the Mini-LED display using a lot more power compared to the XDR LCD panel on the M2 11 inch model! :)

My ipad pro 10.5 has this lag with KZbin where is pauses for half a minute. It’s the only iPad that does this. I think it’s a cache problem but I cannot eliminate it, such as turn off, reset etc the problem remains. The ipad pro 10.5 has a clear worn spot just above the button.

I have to upgrade my old iPad 6th gen 32 gb. The only two reasons are storage and performance. Storage because the whole damn os takes up half of the whole storage and performance because this ipad is painfully slow with each app and that is when i have only installed only 2 essential apps i.e - my own study app, Goodnotes and Files.

[@huangtairan3390]

The bending problem is the reason why I sold mine. If Apple still didn't fix this in the upcoming ones, I'm still not gonna get one.

[@Lumilicious]

4:10 "it never got me 10 hours (of SOT)" is a weird statement to make when your screen shows 4:44 minutes with roughly 55% battery used, you also have that Saturday with over 6 hours SOT and around 55% battery used on that day, the Thursday before that is even better with 6 hours and 50% battery used... so that's 9-12 hours SOT on your best days.

[@zollotech]

It’s not because the screen on time also includes while it’s plugged in. Unfortunately, Apple measures battery while the screen is on whether it’s plugged in or not. It really should tell you times since last charged and then stop if it’s plugged in.

I tried M1 PRO version, but was dissapointed. I am PC guy, I was an android guy before I bought my first iphone 15 PRO. I am looking for functionality. I want iPAD with normal OS which will support normal software, not the ones used also on iPhone. It has USB C, so it could definitely support external display, normal software, but I know apple wants to sell more devices, that is why they always reduce functionality of these. Hopefully iPAD 2024 will deliver some kind of hybrid OS.

Apple has stated there is no chance of a dual boot of iOS and macOS. So, the best we can hope for is more apps, which we see with console mobile AAA games and many pro apps. Its main issue for many people is that it is different to what they are used to with a desktop OS like Windows, and they need help to adapt. So, Apple making it more user-friendly and making the transition less of a rocky road are my main requests. Otherwise, it's a great tablet for people who bought it as a tablet. Like me, I have a MacBook and an iPad and do not want a hybrid that is as compromised as Windows tablet hybrids that MS has basically given up on as they are so bad versus Android and iPadOS.

never been a fan of apple. always thought of them as the embodiment of anti consumerism. i use galaxy s21 as my phone. a pc i built for general purpose. surface tablet for note taking/drawing reluctantly bought an ipad pro m1 11in since my surface tablet's jittering has been getting worse. still not a fan of apple as a company but man is it a good product. love the drawing performance
