Matt which one’s better the eight gig or the 16 gig ram or does it make no difference in reality because you’re not using that much processing power on these things?

I went from a 12.9" M1 to the 11" M4 and I am happy that I did. I normally use the iPad primarily for drawing/art and the smaller form factor is just easier to hold and move around. For me, the larger one is just too awkward to maneuver around comfortably.

I’m glad I’m not the only one considering downsizing. I use mine for note taking, teams meetings and reading and I ended up buying a Mini as well as the larger iPad was just too cumbersome for moving around the desk as I swapped between tasks, and especially for reading. I think the 11” is just the sweet spot for everything for me, and the OLED panel is the killer feature I didn’t realise I was waiting for!

Right now I care more about moving around the house, throwing it in my backpack or watching something at night while my kids sleep and the big display doesn’t disturb them.

If the iPad is your main device or is being used more often the not as a second screen than the 13" is the way to go. For 95% of users who are looking at emails, watching movies, reading books etc...the 11" is the best bang for your buck. The use case scenario that you and many KZbinrs are reviewing this for is for a very small minority of users and is really not representative of how most people will use this device. The 11" complements or is an accessory to your main system such as a Mac studio etc. Its silly to get the 13" and then your other system is just sitting not getting used, especially if its not that old and you spent a lot of money for it. I have an M1 iPad and it sits there and does not get used much. Its too big and heavy to hold for long periods of time.

[@isaacclarke9554]

I went from the 12.9 Pro + Mini to a 11” Pro. For my use case the switch was well worth it, I realized I never actually used my 12.9 for heavy illustration work like I thought I would. Only light sketching and the RARE finished piece, most digital work I did I noticed I would just switch to my Mac & 19” Huion. I figured I’d declutter and properly move and use my iPad as the secondary device I have been between both tablets. For me it was worth it, the smaller and lighter footprint feels so nice

Nope. 13 inch hands down better for media consumption. Better speakers by a long shot and bigger screen. Had the 11 inch m1 and never used it for movies. Sound was awful. Always used my 14’inch m1 MacBook Pro. But, now I watch movies on the 13 inch iPad because the screen gets brighter with better colors.

As someone who uses the 16" M1 Macbook Pro everywhere, I'm considering getting an iPad for a more portable/travel device. I made up my mind on the 13" a while ago, but I'm reconsidering the 11" as everyone says it's the sweet spot. I'm the type of person that would use a 16" laptop on a plane, so the larger size doesn't matter too much to me. Can't see me holding it one handed for all that long, mainly using it on the couch, maybe in bed. I'll be editing photos, watching videos, internet browsing, creating YT thumbnails and likely only editing videos when travelling (which isn't too often).

I love large displays and use a 22in drawing tablet at home I also have a surface pro for windows (though definitely prefer ipad for drawing) and the 13 in and weight never bothered me to much. My Ipad 11in pro from 2018 in a case and I can hold in one hand just fine and is of similar weight to the new 13 without the case.

I gave my son the 12.9 and he loves it, when I grab his 12.9 it feels almost too big now, I use my iPad for videos, note taking, and hardly use the new keyboard but it did take about a month to get comfortable with the smaller keys. The aspect ratio is really makes video consumption feel pretty close, and ive been reading ebooks on the 11 now instead of my 6th gen iPad mini. I do use the extended display at the coffee shop and the stuff I put on the 11 is plenty of room, usually iTerm and Apple Music or Spotify.

The only thing they might notice is the screen contrast/brightness/blacks, but performance wise, it will perform the same as the M1 for their use case. Of course if you throw a bunch of benchmarks at it, the M4 is going to come out overwhelmingly on top, but that's not most peoples use case or even close to their normal workload. For instance, if their normal workload only uses 50% of the processing power of the M1 chip, then upgrading to an M4 does almost nothing for them, aside from the physical changes and screen changes mentioned above.

Which isn’t visable on the 13“ Model, is it and screenissue or some like that? Looked like the fire glowed to high, but how. Maybe someone can explain it too me. Thanks in Advance

[@jamesbaxter3077]

It's youtube's ambient mode. I'm guessing it's toggled on for the 11" but off for the 13".

[@Knowledgexxxx]

updated my iPad 13 m4 to iOS 17.1 . After that the sound from the external speakers became weaker than usual. Now I have to set the volume to maximum to listen to be able to listen.

[@GrilledChickenRamyun]

Been using my ipad pro 12.9 2020. Been thinking to upgrade. Im contemplating to get the mini 7 or ipad 11 pro M2. But still 12.9 speakers are so immersive not sure if im ready to lose it

[@MaDDeX93]

Grat video but it’s not an easy pick even after watching this video. The problem is the speaker quality on 11” which sounds a lot worse than 13” and that’s a major deal for me. More consistent performance on 13” is a big deal for me too. But at the same time I have no need for such a huge display. Sometimes I would place it on the table to watch videos at home, sometimes I would watch movies at the airplane, sometimes at the bed holding in my hands. Often I would play demanding games stationary and in handheld mode. So how do I pick the right one for me?

[@mightnare3237]

Did you already pick?

[@RonaldBrown59]

I prefer the smaller 11 inch size iPads. Thanks for this comparison.

[@suli_xli]

After my GCSEs I’m looking to buy an iPad Pro, and I’m not sure between getting the 13 inch or 11 inch, if I were to get the 11 inch I was wondering if it is worth also getting a monitor so I could use an external keyboard and mouse with the monitor and iPad while at home at my desk, but then I could just use the iPad when I’m at school for example. What do you think? Is there any point also getting a monitor, and should I go 11 inch or 13 inch?

[@robertspinks835]

11 inch suits my use cases the best Which colour Magic Keyboard is the decision

[@jayd118]

Imagine a titanium iPad Pro 13”. I hope that comes!

[@rg975]

Bro why did you continue playing the background music during the speaker comparison 😫😫😫😫😫

[@tengchang4233]

How about 8gb and 16gb used in 3d model sculpt difference?

[@williss9995]

Max tech makes good suggestions. I own a 13 now but have owned 11 and 12.9 sizes. There are benefits and trade offs to either size. For example the 11 is lighter, more portable and easier to handle one-handed. The 13 affords a greater viewing area, more work space and a more comfortable keyboard. In addition in everyday 13 use you’ll likely spend less time scrolling compared to the 11 inch size. Unlike desktops iPads offer the luxury of being used seated on a chair a couch or a desk. The down side is the high cost of Apple ownership. Apple up charges are more burdensome with the addition of a detachable keyboard or upgrade to 16Gb of Ram. To purchase or not is your choice but as a current 13 owner I would suggest you stick with the iPad you have. Yes new iPads are faster, lighter and brighter but the user experience is exactly the same as the iPad you own. Only now near double the price! In other words it’s much like moving up to a one year newer iPhone. You’re going to pay more but the experience is the same.

[@SkwrHdz]

Moving from iPad Pro 12.9” 2018 to M4 13”. Definitely noticed the new Pro M4 13” has much better, deeper, base than my previous Pro 2018.

[@gosman949]

When will you be looking at the nano textured screen?

[@ruffFlip]

Ill wait till WWDC to upgrade or not

[@jaydistracted]

Upgrade what exactly?

[@premiXP]

Wdym?

[@thisISyouish]

@@premiXP He said he'd wait for the WWDC update since it's a software conference. It will reveal what the next iPadOS will be like. Right now, iPadOS just feels like a blown-up iPhone. So useless to buy an ipad just to watch Netflix and games.

[@premiXP]

@@thisISyouish buy its so useful for designing and editing

[@thisISyouish]

@@premiXP Yes, it's suitable for designers, but the cost isn't just about hundreds of dollars. The iPad itself is pricey, and additional purchases like the keyboard and Pencil Pro drive the total cost up to laptop range, surpassing the price of a MacBook Air. The price-to-value ratio is extremely skewed. then u pair the strong hardware with too soft ipadOS like it doesnt seems right. not worth a thousand centsss

[@Adrian011]

Which one would you recommend for note taking in collage, keep in mind that my handwrighting is not that great so...

[@Sokkar91-x9m]

If you want a 13’’ just buy a laptop, iPads are for portability and the 11’’ is the sweet spot, won’t make a big difference if u get the 13’’ but the portability difference is huge

[@VitiateTheImmortal]

I got the 13inch M4 since release date. Really love it so far 😁

[@abnercarias2466]

What size would be best when reading comics/graphic novels? On the market to replace my 2017 iPad Pro 9.5”

[@andyetris1647]

11 will be more comfortable for this vs. 13. Personally, I have a 12.9 from 2018 and I love it, but I didn’t use it nearly as much as I wanted due to the form factor. If you plan on using it like a laptop 13, but if you plan on holding it a lot 11 all day. People will say the 13 is way better than the 12.9 was with portability, but it’s just awkward after a while.

[@satxrnhimself]

Should I upgrade to 11 or 13 M4 iPad Pro? Currently have the 11 iPad Pro from 2018 without cellular. Also, is the cellular edition worth it?

[@richarddcrossley]

It’s an added cost but if you’re out and about it’s awesome. You can of course tether using hotspot but when travelling I often prefer not to do that to keep battery life. It’s also really nice to just flip open your iPad and use it anywhere straight away. Only you can really answer that though as adding cellular basically get your the next storage tier up on a WiFi iPad in most cases. Owning both an 11 inch and 13 inch I ended up taking the 11 inch out more as I’m the netbook generation and it fits on coffee tablets and trains more (in the UK everything is cramped when you travel 😂)

[@satxrnhimself]

@@richarddcrossley Ok, thanks! So you say overall the new M4 iPad Pro 11 without cellular? That’s what I thought too!

[@richarddcrossley]

@@satxrnhimself yeah. I’m also using my 12.9 inch much less because now stage manager has got much better and you can select which audio source I often connect my iPad to a Thunderbolt or USB C monitor. It’s really a game changer vs the none M1 or above iPads. Can use 11 inch for iPad things (now without a worse display) and for more complex tasks connect to a display and use Magic Keyboard or a keyboard and trackpad/Magic Mouse.

[@richarddcrossley]

@@satxrnhimself last thing I forgot to say is the iPad Pro isn’t my primary portable computer as I have M1 Pro 14. If it’s going to be the primary mobile device for you it might be worth getting the 13 inch.

[@satxrnhimself]

@@richarddcrossley Yeah. I want a Mac computer and an iPad for the mobility stuff and watching YT videos too. I debate between those 2 combinations: M4 Pro MacBook Pro (when it comes out) and iPad Mini 7 (when it comes out), or M4 Max Mac Studio (when it comes out) and M4 11 iPad Pro. Not sure which one is the better combo but currently leaning towards the Mac Studio with iPad Pro.

[@chrisbrown-lx7qz]

I’m so freaking happy with my 11 inch iPad Pro M4 😃

[@DannStarrElectronics]

Does it switch up to a fully capable OS once a keyboard is connected? or is it still just an expensive Netflix machine?

[@dougscott188]

I switched to the 11 in 2018 but may step back up to the larger size the problem I have is the 2018 still performs well and hard to justify the upgrade but would like to do Final Cut on it and use it as a second display for my Mac

[@sullyFL]

One thing you left out is that a lot of professionals are using these to read paper documents in portrait mode. Why is the 13-inch so perfect? It's the same size as the 8.5x11 piece of paper many office workers used for decades.

[@scientificmethodsteacher5786]

Yes! It's perfect for reading and annotation PDFs og scientific articles

[@xo_you_know9983]

is it comfortable to browse social media in portrait? I do this a lot with the 11” reading from top to bottom.

[@BV35]

Thank you for the Video ! I TRULY Appreciate Your Videos! I am still waffling back and forth between the 11 and 13. I originally had the 12.9 and found it too heavy to use in tablet mode for a small period of time. I am hoping the 13 design with it lighter and thinner might make it more comfortable to use. I am interested in Productivity with the IPAD. I actually use the Mini for a lot of content absorbing. You mentioned that for note taking the 11 is more comfortable but what if the tablet laying flat on the table (how I take notes) can you say the same thing? THANKS!

[@TheBrown03]

My 13" is on the way! Just waiting for a Magic Keyboard compatible case.

[@stephenfong1026]

I think I’m goin to follow the same configuration. 13, Smart Keyboard, magic pencil, 512,

[@HanShenID]

Thanks Mate, this video is really helpful, i planning to buy Ipad Pro, but get confuse about which one i should buy 11" or 13", now i can make decision.

[@sneakkyz3696]

Loving the brightness difference on my m4 compared to my m1. Won’t be getting rid of my m1 tho as it’s still a nice iPad

[@JayzBeerz]

Any iPad Air M2 testing coming?

[@danb5119]

I got the 11 inch no keyboard or pen yet, main use is film watching in bed and some games, also have a pc but I think I made right choice returned a galaxy tab s9+ for it and it’s much better

[@jasonandrew412]

I have a galaxy tab s9+. just switched from android back to iphone.. wondering if the ipad would be worth the switch...what do you think

[@orangeofmars2835]

I look forward to comparison of 13 inch M4 iPad Pro with new Surface Pro Copilot Snapdragon with OLED. I use my Surface Pro far more than my iPad Pro 2018 simply because it can do more with full Windows 11. With new Copilot and OLED maybe Surface Pro will at least pull even with iPad Pro for power along with current more functionality.

[@Jeannemarre]

It would be interesting to compare the M1 Pro to M4 pro. I am thinking of going M1 but not sure yet. Many people would benefit from your point of view on this

[@3Toy]

Is the number row keyboard still limited to the bigger size ipad ? I do not know how Apple keeps getting away with such annoying basic missing functionalities on such an expensive devices ….

[@koukimonzta]

go for the 11

[@Hunter-mr7gq]

Hi, im a university student (med school) i already have a 15’ MacBook Air n i was thinking of also getting an iPad. Should I get the 11 or 13 (I will use it mainly for taking handwritten notes and I won’t attach a keyboard to it) ??

[@roshsurana]

11

[@HK-NYC]

is there video flciker with the Tandem OLED while watching movies? thanks.

[@Roseirful]

13 felt a little bit large for me and 11 too small to enjoy it as an ipad instead of a "large" iphone (bigger screen to enjoy oled details, layout that benefit from ipad size is more common on 13, etc. + sound). I preferred a bit too large than too small (for me, because it's not "small" by any mean) not to be frustrated to really. A size just in between would have been perfect. I also prefer the 13 ratio for productivity. 13 still feels as a tablet, I have no need for laptop i'm really looking for a tactile table experience (I do not understand the comparison, if you make it you are not targetting your usage right in my opinion). Even at that size, there is no comparison to a laptop footprint and portability.

[@steves9305]

Amazing video, thanks for the review.

[@kenroman777]

@Max Tech 256 vs 512 as I was thinking 256 with Thunderbolt 2TB SSD and its speed ..Am I thinking correctly?

[@mgarciap29]

What action first shooter game were you playing?

[@IIODINII]

I use it as my main computer, so I got the 13 inch and its amazing compared to the 2021 model

[@hatifnatt1861]

Can you make a real life comparison between M1, M2 and M4? Like restart time, start time for apps, Browser Test, KZbin haha, Game Tests…

[@marcust123]

Someone already did it on youtube there basically the exact same speeds because of the software only difference was the screen brightness and oled

[@aphantasy]

My old iPad Air from about 12 years ago is a 9.5". That's perfect for me and I love it. I think 11" would be just fine for typing, unless you've got massive hands.

[@sestoelemento2171]

Sweet vid! Are u guys gonna due a comparison between glossy vs nanotexture displays? Most likely not worth the cost bc forced to get @ least 1tb which is sad.
