I'm a digital artist who makes intensive use of my iPad for both 2D and 3D art and due to the release of the new 2024 iPad Pro's I was able to get a 2022 12'9 inch iPad pro with 2TB storage and 16 GB RAM for a huge discount. I need a lot of RAM for the detailed 3D projects I'm doing and I really prefer a big canvas, because honestly 11 inch is a little crammy when you're doing art. It's less than A4 😅 You don't always need the newest model. I'm pretty sure this iPad will last me MANY years.

Thanks for the content. I agree the M2 Pro is a great deal and especially for those that travel a lot (or in my case if you live in Europe) as you also get the sim tray (aren't the new iPads e-Sim only?) and it's very useful to be able to pop in different sims or even use your mobile phone sim instead temporarily. I'm not sure how e-sim works with new contracts (assume you have to commit to a new long-term deal)?...

[@JonAdamsTech]

That’s a great question, I don’t travel much and live in the USA so I haven’t had a bunch of experience having to switch out SIM cards, sorry man!

[@SnIpErX07]

A thing to add on here. The iPad mini 6 is still relevant today with all apps running smoothly albeit those video editing apps. As someone who purchased iPad m2 11 1TB and iPad mini 6 both with cellular. The physical sim tray still exists while these m4 is purely eSIM. I will pop out and swap between these iPads which is really convenient. Unless is there a way to transfer eSIM between devices that I have not learned. These physical sim tray are important to me. I am in SG which iPhones are still using physical sim. And having SIM card matters.

I'd be far more likely to buy one of the newer models if Apple had added an additional thunderbolt port .

Scored a refurbished 1tb 11 inch M2 for $800, extremely satisfied, my usecase involves the screen being on and showing the same thing for multiple hours at a time so i was a bit wary about going OLED and also the amount of money ive saved is considerable.

I’ve been on the lookout for an M2 iPad Pro on different retailers because I know they had a price cut on it but sadly can’t find them anymore as most already updated their stocks to the M4 iPad Pro.

[@JonAdamsTech]

Have you looked at the Apple refurbished store?

[@jimtipton8888]

Great review as always Jon! I heard someone say that the whole reason for the M4 is for power efficiency and the reason it can run the tandem OLED displays. Kind of makes sense since I agree that even the M1 was powerful and any of these iPads would be great. I also would like to see a more robust iPadOS or the iPadOS Pro. I think it could be a great OS with some tweaks and some modifications to the “Pro” apps.

[@JonAdamsTech]

Thanks for checking out the video, yeah if they could just fix the os to be more robust maybe more people could use the iPad as their only device, that would be awesome

[@devin865]

Solid video. I am mostly interested in how the oled compares to the miniled. I can’t say I’ve ever considered the miniled lacking, and I have seen reports of a grainy image on the new oled models especially at lower to medium brightness settings - which is probably where the brightness will be most of the time.

Yeah it’s hard to complain about any of the iPad screens, they’re both beautiful and if you don’t have them side by side you’d never know a difference

I'm at a point where 256GB on my 2018 11" iPad Pro is not enough for my needs. I use it for video and photo editing, and my last family trip netted ~600GB of video. So I am looking for a 2TB model, as I don't like external drives sticking out for too long. So IPP M2 vs IPP M4 from perspective of things that are important to me: - Media import from camera and/or iPhone via USB - is dependent on the read speed of external device, which benefits M2 due to price - Media export to external drive for backup - both M2 and M4 offer USB4, but even with an NVMe connected transfer in both cases will be throttled by read speeds of internal memory which is around 2.5-3GB/s. This benefits M2 due to price. - M2 has one more LTE band and SIM tray - Both devices have the same wifi specs, which benefits M2 due to price - I already have Apple Pencil which will not work on M4 (although internal battery is shot and I may need replacement) - I have a magnetic iPad stand which will not work on M4 - I liked Brydge MAX+ keyboard. Hopefully they will sort themselves as company soon and re-release this keyboard with redesigned hinges. It's about 100USD less than Magic Keyboard and has function keys. - M4 is faster than my M1 Pro MBP. I don't want tablet to be faster than my main computer as this would surely make me want to upgrade my laptop next. - I didn't notice that iPadOS18 would improve my workflow in any way, so this still benefits M2 due to its price - M4 IPP has nicer screen, M2 has the same screen as 2018 IPP. But I do color corrections on an external monitor so that's not such a big deal. So I think even though M4 is flashier and nicer, I will let my wallet decide here and get refurbished M2.

I think that’s a wise decision!

Great review, but maybe you forgot to mention the speakers, because it’s not that simple. I listened both M2 and M4 11 inches and have to say - M2 sounds a bit more crisp and a bit more deep. It’s not that big difference, but you can easily notice it side by side. Also, the PWM thing. I’m PWM sensitive to, let’s tell, “OLED screens that were saved on”. I measured my iPhone 14 and 15 pro PWM %, and it was 8/10% speaking of full/mid brightness - and I’m fine with it. When we talk about iPad Pro OLED M4 - unit I’ve tested had 15/23% and I really feel eye strain after 10-15 minutes of using it.

Very good video. However, I have to express a different viewpoint about what seems to be the universal view about taking pictures with the ipad. If you go into almost any retail store M-F, you will see individuals using tablets to take pictures. These are the salespeople, vendors, merchandisers, etc, that have to provide pictures of the shelves/product placement and pricing in the report/survey of the visits. Oftentimes, a wide angle view is required, and the aisles are not wide enough to allow the view required. The presence of a wide range lens is a very convenient addition for these people. I sometimes think that there’s a view among many Apple users that if Steve Jobs didn't think of it, then there's no need, i.e., the lack of a calculator on the ipad.

But sometimes I have thoughts like M2 is weak compared to M4 chip, it would be better if I buy a new iPad. Do you think there will be updates to the M2 chip for a long time, my friend?

I own iPad Pro M1 12.9”. Based on the online reviews that M4 iPad Pro with OLED got even brighter, colourful, perfect black level screen etc., I ordered one to see if I should replace my M1 Pro. I found indeed it is brighter, better contrast and more punchy colours and of course buttery smooth. What I did not like is that it has quite a warmer tone, skins tone is not great. When I kept M1 and M4 Pro side by side it was quite evident - M1 I found more neutral and natural colours. I’ve done lots of photo editing and quite sensitive to colour accuracy - did not find M4 convincing enough to and worth $1,300 USD. May be later OLED improvement would be better, for now M1 Pro continues to be excellent.

[@DebojitBhadra-uw9rm]

Bro i'm so confused..I want to buy an ipad.. which one should i go with Ipad pro m2 or m4..I'm a student will use it for studies and to watch movies..can you pls tell me??

[@JonAdamsTech]

M2!

[@DebojitBhadra-uw9rm]

@@JonAdamsTech if I buy m2 will it last for more than 5 years?

[@shahedunchowdhury3944]

Thanks so much for the review

[@JonAdamsTech]

For sure! Thanks for watching!

[@Driller_shoot]

Who’s better to play game ?

[@JonAdamsTech]

They’re both great for it so you can’t go wrong either way. Obv the m4 is gonna be better but it depends on your budget.

[@VadymPolihradov]

It’s a good time to buy iPads on M1 for very cheap. I bought second hand iPad Pro M1 12,9 256gb with pencil 2nd for $620 😏

[@JonAdamsTech]

Nice!!

[@Hellrazzor1]

Got you beat, got 12.9 m2 256, with pencil, case and paper shield, with 1+ year of apple care plus for 660

@@Hellrazzor1well it’s really good deal 🎉 congrats

[@FayboDee]

Last month someone sold me 512gb 12.9 M2 with cellular Apple Pencil with ,Magic Keyboard for 900. Went into Best Buy to check out the new one. It’s nice and all but now worth paying more than double what I paid for mine.

[@willyalbert1255]

Bro, how is the speaker of the m4 compared to the m2 ipad pro?

[@JonAdamsTech]

Pretty much the same

[@royaltykidstv]

How great is the front camera compared to the 2020 version?

[@JonAdamsTech]

Not bad but not great. I definitely wouldn’t upgrade just for the camera

[@royaltykidstv]

@@JonAdamsTech thank you

[@jimbrow83]

Just returned my ipad pro m4 sticking with my 2020 I hold it in portait position and the new camera location is a pain in the ass to use face id

That’s interesting, I haven’t had a problem with it but glad you got your money back!

you don't want to give any engagement to what? did you watch the video or are you just commenting first? Strangest comment I've received in a long time haha

[@rectape]

Hi, what about battery life? can get a m2 pro 256gb for 140€ less is it worth it?

[@JonAdamsTech]

Totally worth it

[@rectape]

@@JonAdamsTech thanks! you mean go for m4 over m2?

[@JonAdamsTech]

[@benji_san]

brother, are you holding the 11inch or 13inch version?

[@JonAdamsTech]

That’s the 11, which are you planning to get?

[@benji_san]

@@JonAdamsTech well i like how it fit in your hand so i think i'll sacrifice the size and get a bigger storage, so the 11" m4 with 512gb will be my purchase, my first thoughts were to pick size over storage and get the 13" 256gb but it just fit so perfect in your hand, thank you bro

[@LesterJared2004]

Should i get the m2 ipad pro or the m4 ipad pro?

[@JonAdamsTech]

That entirely depends on what you do and what your budget is.

[@Image_bound]

I am just trying to retouch photos so do I need to get the pro m4, pro m2, or the m2 Air?

[@JonAdamsTech]

You’d be fine with the m2 pro or the m2 air. I’d probably suggest the pro if the price is right.

[@ELVENEVN]

Pro m2 if you want better sound and the 2 cameras. Pro m4 if u want better screen, new pencil, and keyboard where the front camera is centered. My M2 pro is great and still strong.

[@JonAdamsTech]

@@ELVENEVN Yep!

[@Image_bound]

Thank you both!
