M4 iPad Pro 11” vs 13” - Which size is best for you? 🤔

[@FaizAly]

Accessories I use: My iPad Pro leather sleeve: amzn.to/4cVktPa ESR Rebound Folio Cover: amzn.to/3S8fhjh

[@jimtipton8888]

It’s an interesting conversation. I don’t think there is a right answer. I carried the M1 12.9 for 2 years and really enjoyed it. When the M4 came out I decided to try the 11”. For me, because I use it so much in my truck and I use it both as a tablet and a MB replacement, the 11” wins. At home I use a MBP hooked to a couple of monitors in my office, but it rarely leaves its docking station. It’s funny that last year I was done with the iPad and now it’s my favorite device. I think the size change played into that.

[@ravenryuu]

I’m loving my 13” M4 iPad Pro - I need the bigger screen size for productivity tasks, but it’s also fantastic when consuming content. 😊

[@FaizAly]

Totally agree!

[@Emma-gu4rz]

[@Kyle-xv3mv]

No, apple tends to use average-look people to advocate for their products, he is too handsome for that. Apple is having a lot of effect on political correctness.😏

[@griffitography]

I went for the 13” because I use my tablet for a lot of writing. Novels, podcast episodes, notes, etc. The typing experience on the 13” is far and away the better of the two sizes. I also don’t spend a lot of time on planes or lugging my iPad around town, so the larger size doesn’t bother me much the odd time I do leave the house with it. Plus, the screen size for multitasking is nice and the speakers are better, which make gaming and movies/tv better as well. For all of those reasons, the 13 is the obvious choice and worth the extra couple hundred bucks.

[@FaizAly]

Love all the points you made!

[@NYRfan4ever]

I’m loving my 13 inch. Been using it on the daily for 7 weeks now. Huge fan

[@FaizAly]

You and me both!

[@mahmoodnaeem]

Omg thanks so much for making my video idea and this video helped me so much thanks so much!!

[@iPadChannel]

The answer is simple. If you will be carrying the device all the time (which I do, for my day time job), then get the 11 inch model. Otherwise, the bigger iPad can be an alternative (if you find 11 inch small for media consumption). In my case I have both devices, but I rarely use the 13 inch so I decided to give it to my wife since she uses it as a portable media consumption device all the time (Netflix, KZbin, and Soc Med). In my case, I use it for professional work (video editing, audio recording, writing documents, scripts, and for AI stuff).

[@ashleamarie]

A 12” iPad Pro would be really interesting. It would be the sweet spot between the 11” and 13” sizes and would make a really great companion device. Imagine if Apple came out with that 😂 it would never happen but a very interesting concept.

[@FaizAly]

That’s actually a very interesting point you brought up - 12” display would be like the best of both worlds!

[@misteratwood]

I've had both and then went without an iPad. The sweet spot for me is 14" MacBook Pro (iPad can't replace macOS), and 11" iPad Pro. I just don't think that people need to have multiple items running at once. The best way to focus is to do one thing at a time, and I think for portability, the 11" is obviously the winner.

[@endidjeh]

I'm a heavy note taker, and 11" is just fine. However, I use 13" since its additional screen real estate functions as a palm rest, and you don't need to mover around the page (when zoomed) as much as 11".

[@vernearase3044]

I use an iPad (now) for a lightweight portable compute experience, so my table is an iPad Pro 11" M4 512 GB with Cellular, a Magic Keyboard, and a Pencil Pro. I can throw it all into a sleeve and compute on the go anywhere there's enough table space to se it down, or I can pull out the tablet and work on that. My main driver will _always_ be a Mac because of the depth of the experience - my current main driver is a 2020 iMac 5K core-i9 (10910) 128 GB 4 TB AMD Radeon Pro XT 5700 w/16 GB VRAM. This allows for a lot of multitasking with lots of background services running and a big screen with lots of real estate. When they stop supporting the Intel I'll probably go with a Mac Studio M* Max or Ultra with at least 64 GB RAM and 4 TB SSD with a Studio Display. It'll be sweet to have four or eight Thunderbolt controllers unlike the iMac - which if I'm reading the device tree correctly - only has one going out two USB-C ports.

[@drdentrepair5530]

For me I have found the 11” the best size for me for all of the reasons you mentioned. I am IPad only so when I want to do anything with several apps I use an external model. I still cannot believe the screen resolution on the m4 and the battery life is incredible.

[@skippy336]

Okay going for 12.9 to 11 is great! 12.9 is really heavy compared to 11. 11 feels right, and 12.9 feels uncomfortable to travel with. If you want to do this for school, 11 is good enough especially if you want to dual screen apps. Tbh I would just recommend a regular iPad and an m1 MacBook Air or newer instead of a 12.9 inch. M1 12.9 = 1200$ iPad 10 + m2 Mac air = 1150 iPad Air m2 + renewed m1 Mac = 1050on Amazon iPad Pro 12.9 is 630 at Amazon with M1 chip

[@Plutonas]

your logo picture is sooo funny, "size matters" and I can't imagine myself walking down the street with a tv screen in my hands. The 13th is sooo big! Its ideal for a household device, something like a laptop alternative and a very strong one... But not a daily out device.

[@FaizAly]

Yes but you have to remember everyone uses these devices differently. As just a daily tablet, you’re right. However, for many like me who use it as a full-on computer, the 13” screen is fantastic

[@Plutonas]

@@FaizAly yes that's what I said, I do have a powerful desktop pc though, I took the air as a portable strong device, to write my university final assessment/thesis... Also, use it for some math notes and chemistry. And I am happy with my choice, it's a strong choice, maybe one of the best choices as an investment. I got the 11" with 512gb of storage.

[@Msal19]

I really wish the new iPad Pro had a 14-inch like the rumors were speculating. I appreciate how light and portable the 13-inch M4 iPad Pro is but if they made it the same size as Galaxy Tab Ultra, it would have been even closer to replacing a Mac.

Versatility

[@WesM-s6l]

I have the 11 pro now, the old version. I’m handing it down and upgrading. Thinking of another 11 pro but the 13 seems appealing. I will be using it for contract signing. I always thought the 11 was a tad too small but very portable. Thoughts on 13?

[@Ciboulon]

I’ve always been a 11” model guy. I work with my iPad as a PE teacher since the iPad 2. I own the 2020 11” iPad Pro since 2021. Because Apple has made the iPad Pro M4 thinner and lighter, and because I use my iPad Pro as my main device, now I want the 13” model so much. I’m not sure if I would keep my 11” and use both (it’s a cellular model and sometimes I capture video in ultra wide - I know, I must be the only one) and buy the wifi model or if I sell my 11” and buy a cellular M4 iPad Pro. What do you think about it ? But I forgot to tell the second reason why I don’t have the 13” model : the money. It’s widely more expensive.

[@Anna-vz5jl]

I had the iPad 10th generation and I was looking for a bigger iPad that I can watch movies and have it just a different experience have a better resolution so I was very close to getting the iPad Air 13 but I felt like it was going to be too big for my little hands so I caved in and got the iPad for 11 so far so good

[@Tech4YourNeeds]

I own the 11-inch I'm thinking of going for the 13-inch for my next iPad.

[@FaizAly]

11” is great! I just feel like the full experience Apple intends us to have is with the 13”

[@ravenryuu]

Having the 13” size has been great for my office type work as well as watching videos and movies. For me, the thinness and light weight also make it easy to carry around - with or without the magic keyboard 👍

[@DanielSmith-fm4fs]

If u have a laptop already thne go for 11 inch. If u don’t have laptop n want iPad to compensate for it then ho for 13 inch I would say.

[@yippiecalle421]

I think the beauty of stage manager and similarity of 11 and 13 inch model. Plug it into a bigger screen and you got the same experience. But the answer is do you like notepads (11)or notebooks (13)

[@FaizAly]

Very true, If used with an external monitor the experience is same

[@Jupiterrr_1]

If i use it mainly for studying and taking notes and taking my ipad to college everyday, also i’m a huge fan of movies and games and want to play games with it esp with a controller connected to it which option is the best? I like the 13 inch but i’m afraid it’s not portable to take it to college everyday

[@sakettiwary7886]

Same situation

[@FaizAly]

The way I see it is that it’s thinner & lighter than ever before. Watching content on it is amazing + laptops are bigger than this

[@DPT2Go]

Have you noticed that if using keyboard on iPad and universal controlling a mac, the trackpad doesn’t have all the functionality cross platform ?

[@robertsanchez718]

I’m torn between the 13 and 11” I have a MacBook Pro but looking for something on the go, to sign contracts with clients and share with them marketing material and videos during consultations. Recommendation?

[@FaizAly]

Since you already use a MacBook Pro, then perhaps the 11”?

[@Sarah_millionaire_2024]

Thanks a lot you have really covered all my thoughts about which one should I chose however I have one more question , actually I’m a PhD student and many times when I go out for some shopping or just a walk I found my self finding some nice coffee shop and just end up sitting there to enjoy a cup of coffee and every time I wish I have my laptop with my since it’s a good time to read a little , but as the laptop is not that portable every time and everywhere I never take it with me for the mall or a short walk, so do you think the 13” is portable enough to take it everywhere and everytime and everyday, I want a device that I can carry it with my all the time like a phone and I want it to be big enough like the 13” , so please tell me your opinion about that and thank you again for this amazing video

[@FaizAly]

Yes I truly believe the 13” is portable enough to take with you everywhere you go. The screen is large, yet because the device is so thin and light it’s not cumbersome at all.

[@JOON29693]

I liked both but i feel 11in is too small and 13in too big, both are equally Powerfull, you can't take 13in outdoor all the time handy and you can't use 11in to watch content from far distance if i go for 13in then it wil not handy and looks little big while holding and if i go for 11in then on table it will look too small and to watch content you need to sit close

I am confused between the M2 Air 13 vs M2 Pro 12.9 vs M4 Pro 13, particularly with screen and refresh rate concerns. My primary need is for medical webiners and watching medical lectures, note taking and annotating. If you could help me decide, I am also planning to try the S9 Ultra in store once.

[@FaizAly]

I think the m2 Pro is the better purchase in my opinion. I’ve done a video on my channel you can check out where I compare M2 Air and M2 Pro

[@DrAkashraj]

@@FaizAly Yes, I went through. The webcam positioning is bit of a concern in M2 Pro, plus it's 14% costlier in my country than the M2 Air currently. Also how much is the note taking experience different with the new Pencil Pro on M2 Air from it's older version with M2 Pro?

[@FaizAly]

@@DrAkashraj you won’t find a big difference in terms of not taking. Yes webcam orientation does make a difference. Also if it’s costlier go for M2 Air - it’s the best iPad for most people.

[@coolchick4328]

Haha, I literally was having this debate right now. I got the m4 Ipad Pro 11 inch 512 GB last week and… … I am debating switching it to the 13 inch 256 GB (maaaaaybe the equivalent but it is just so much money) So, here is the thing. I like the 11 inch. It is a fine device. It is great! I had a 2018 11 inch as well so I am used to the screen. The speakers are meh on the m4 but overall, it is a beast. The only thing is… I am now contemplating the 13 inch for its screen size and multi tasking/split view abilities. I am not someone who travels with an Ipad, so I do not care portability. I use it in my lap 80 percent of the time or sometimes on a desk (not with a keyboard) and except for the occasional coffee shop trips, it won’t be going anywhere. I also reach for the Ipad more than my MBP. I also want this to last 6-10 years or until it dies because I am not someone who really cares to upgrade all the time. I just don’t know if going from 512 GB to 256GB is worth the bigger screen size (it would cost 2.1k for the equivalent, ugh.) What I use it for: Drawing (beginner), photo editing for social media/content creation, content consumption, browsing. I eventually want to maybe create my own sticker/prints shop and draw designs but that is far off and if I do. I also would use it for teaching. I am planning on going to the apple store tomorrow to look at the 13’s (originally when I went I was so honed in on the 11 because getting a 13 wasn’t even on my mind and I was so sure about the 11.) Any thoughts?
