M4 iPad Pro: 13” VS 11” - Which size is BEST for you?

[@TheGoldenrun]

I ve watched the whole internet, twice, and still cannot decide

Oh my. Even I haven’t seen the WHOLE internet. That’s impressive. Well I hope this video helped but it sounded like it didn’t very much!

@@Graf-XTechReviews No bro, your video was good. I simply meant that the choice is hard, by using an exaggeration in my effort to make a point.

😂 I got the 11inch, returned for the 13inch, returned that one for the 11inch again, and now I’m kind of regretting it. I think I need 13inch, but 11inch is just perfect for portability. I have until next week to decide.

While I will always have screen envy and be enticed by the 13", the 11" is definitely the one to get. The 13" is just too massive if you plan to take your iPad anywhere. The 13" is amazing if you primarily use it in a desk setup and don't transport it. But then, doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of an iPad? iPad is supposed to be a convenient tool when you don't feel like taking a laptop with you, right? In that case, it's the 11"hands down. What I've discovered is that if you need something bigger than an 11" on the go, then just bring a laptop which is an ACTUAL computer and you will get more usefulness out of it anyway. Don't get caught up in the screen envy. Do yourself a favor and save the hassle of having to return the 13" (which is what happened to me) and just get the 11" and don't ever look at a 13" so you won't be jealous 😁

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Yeah it sounds like you definitely made the right choice going with the 11” iPad! Thanks for sharing your experiences with the 13” as well. That is very helpful! I agree that the smaller size is much easier to take on the go!

[@NicVandEmZ]

@@Graf-XTechReviewsalso the bigger one is thinner than 11 inch ones Ive seen the bigger ones break more than the smaller ones

[@iceinducer9528]

Well actually iPad size is much closer to macbook… there is only little difference in size between MacBook and iPad but there is huge difference between iPhone and even iPad Mini is a huge jump in size in iPhone Pro max due to aspect ratio alone… so portability wise its like a macbook screen without keyboard your bringing in public.. and lastly iPad is often used in landscape..

[@garettw1678]

That is a personal opinion. I’ve had the 11” inch. The Magic Keyboard for the smaller iPad feels like a joke. These iPads are thinner and lighter which makes a more compelling case for the 13”. Typing feels better on the 13”, screen is bigger. They are both very mobile. If I am browsing through KZbin, i use my phone. Even when I had my 11”, I still used my phone from light browsing. The 11” is boring no matter what you are doing.

[@jacopoalberto]

Same here: I returned the 13” and then got the 11”!

[@justalex4571]

I bought 11 inch because aspect ratio. That was my main reason. If Apple were selling a 16:9, I would buy it no matter what size.

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Yeah I think a 16:9 aspect ratio would be awesome for a lot of things! I do like some things about the 4:3 aspect ratio, but for viewing content especially, it is a little annoying

[@e02_v41]

4:3 is bad imo but 16:9 is crazy. The galaxy tab s9 ultra is 16:10 and it still looks way too long. 3:2 would be the best

Awesome overview! I had been using the 12.9" iPads Pro since 2016 basically as my MacBook, until the 14" M1 Pro. I ordered the 13" M4 on day one, but ended up returning it yesterday for a 1TB 11". Thanks to your videos I went out and got an 11" to compare for myself. It provides everything I wanted in a much more manageable size and I intend to keep it for 3-4yrs, so 1TB makes a bit of sense. Also takes me back to my 11" MacBook Air days, even though the bezels on that thing made it the size of what a 13" device is now lol. I just saw no fair reason to have a $2K 13" hybrid tablet competing against my 14" Macook pro of nearly the same size/weight. The 11" fits in a lot more scenarios, your restaurant shot captures that perfectly! I had my 11" on my lap in my car while I ate lunch earlier. It felt ergonomically perfect. Much better than sitting on my phone and I used to bring my 12.9" with me to lunch all the time but it was always a burden to get it out in the car for a quick sit.

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Yeah I totally get that! I’m glad that I was able to help you make that decision. For me, I love being able to take it even more places and that’s definitely what makes it worth it! Thanks for sharing! Let me know if there is anything else you would like me to test or compare!

[@Ten-ol7nc]

I got the 13” first with ESR case from Amazon. It felt heavy on my hand after few minutes of using it. So, I decided for 11” and I just loved it. It’s also easier to hold with both hands while typing.

1st iPad. Started with the 13”. Didn’t like the “portability”. Returned it for the 11”. Happy ever since. When I would rather grab my iPhone than my iPad, I knew there might be a problem.

[@danfoxchannel]

Great video. I have similar thoughts. I have had the 12.9" model since 2018. I ordered the 11" M4 version and got it on launch day.... and I love it. But, after a few days, things just felt a bit cramped. Especially Final Cut and Photoshop. So I ordered the 13" and compared them both for a week or so (constantly switching back and forth). I do notice the weight reduction between the old 12.9" and the new 13". Ultimately, I kept the 13" and returned the 11". For me, when I am working with the Magic Keyboard, it's a viable laptop replacement. When in tablet mode, using the Apple Folio, I can edit photos in my lap ...on the couch, and still really see what I am doing better (without having to hold it closer to my face). It could be my aging eyes but the 13" is the best overall for me. I feel like a 12" iPad would be perfect for most people... and Apple knows that... so they give you options that will often have you considering whether or not you should switch up or down in screen size. It's kind of a brilliant move.

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Yeah that makes sense. I have definitely felt the annoyance of going back and forth not sure which model to go for. I agree that the 13” definitely has more laptop-like capabilities, but for me the 11” stil does a good enough job with it. Thanks for sharing! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

This is one of the best iPad Pro reviews / insights.Thank you for making this video. I am going to take a chance and leave some extended comments, and hope that it is helpful for your channel's growth (or at least let you know what really worked for me) 1. Detailed user report-style comparisons that is sound, reasonable, balanced, and filled with common sense. 2. Personal choice (ie. why you went with the 11 inch iPad Pro) - backed by clear reasons again. The beauty of this approach is that I do not have to even agree with you. If I agree, then I am going 11 inch. And IF I Do Not, it almost automatically puts in me in the 13 inch camp. It is effective and brilliant. 3. I really like how your videos come across as sincere and focused on help people understand and choose. It is almost like you are talking to a friend. I love the delivery and sincerity. 4. Thank you for not putting efforts into highly polished videos like many of the bigger channels. Yes, i get there is value in the video production, but there is way more value in making a quality video that helps people (especially when it gathers the viewers feedback and comments) That's it. This is the best video on iPad Pro to me, and i found myself happy enough to make a purchase decision after watching your video. Thank you very much.

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Thank you for all the feedback, it’s very helpful! Often times I’ll work on a video and not even be sure it will do well or I’ll think that I didn’t have have good information, but comments like these are amazing and very very helpful!

13 inch is essential if you want to draw. Yes 11 inch you can draw on. Just as you can draw on a napkin. But you won’t. That’s my only advice I’d give to a very specific customer.

If you draw at a desk. I’ve always wanted to get the 13” but when I played with both in the store … the 11” kept winning out as I was drawing on it than the 13”. I’ll probably still get the 13” though as I’ll be using it as a laptop first, and drawing tablet second.

Great review! Subscribed. I carried the 12.9 for 2 years and this go around opted for the 11. I do a lot of multitasking and don't feel like it's a huge compromise. Love the form factor of the 11. Great for working in the 4 wheel office and the plane. Easier to use for note taking while standing. Happy with the choice to go 11. Best iPad so far and I've had a bunch including the first. Magic Keyboard is a winner too. Cheers! P.S.- Do a video on screen layout. Personally I'm all in on widgets and especially the shortcut cluster.

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Yeah I have a similar experience with the 11 inch! I didn’t feel like it was a big compromise either with all the portability benefits that I gained.

I traded my 12.9 iPad Pro for the 2024 11-inch iPad Pro because of the size and weight. The 12.9-inch with a Magic Keyboard was too heavy to travel with. The smaller size fits in my backpack leaving room for additional items.

Compare to the M2 version, 11 inch M4 version reduces 466-444=22g，13 inch M4 version reduces 682-579=103g. 13 inch made a huge improvement on weight and have bigger screen bigger battery. Bigger battery means longer standby time. So I think 13 inch is a better upgrade this time.

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Yes I completely agree that on weight and thinness, the 13” is the bigger improvement. However, the battery actually got smaller on this model than the previous version. I haven’t directly compared their standby time performance but I know some tests have shown the 11” to have better battery life for screen on time. Also, the 11” used to have an LCD screen now it jumps all the way to OLED. Where on the 13”, the Mini-LED wasn’t too far behind OLED. So I agree that the physical weight and dimensions part of the upgrade is better on the 13”, but overall, I think the 11” actually had more upgraded this year.

I think the 13 inch takes better advantage of exclusive ipad layout compared to an iphone. And this kind of ratio is better for productivity/browsing the web, etc. It loses for movies but after haveing seen both in perso I felt like I would have been frustrated with the 11, which would have felt like a larger iphone. 13 is just a tiny bit too large but I prefer this. A size in between would have been perfect.

just brought the iPad M4 11" 256gig celular version, which is a sweet spot as it is still lightweight and portable like the iPad Mini 6 but far more powerful. I also not bothered by 1 less core and less ram than on 1/2 TB versions of 11/13inch to expensive not worth it. The 11" basic model is still a powerful beast of a tablet. The M4 13in was too big for portable use & too expensive, in my opinion. I won't upgrade for another 4/6 years😀😀

[@lawrencecirillo3233]

Great video. Do you find that the 13” is portable now then previous models because of the less weight? I’ve always used a 11”, but the thinness and again the weight makes me think I can use the larger one to watch my videos and movies which I do since I travel a lot. I realized the aspect ratio favored the 11” for movies, but I also watch a LOT of KZbin videos, and I feel like the 4:3 favors that. Also, when I’m watching on a plane, restaurant, and especially in my hotel, I won’t uses the magic Keyboard, but rather remove it and have a case that can fold into multiple positions. Since it’s just taller then the 11” and a just a bit wider, I don’t think I’ll have trouble on airplanes when I’d just be using a folio type case. Thoughts? The irony is that I’ve always had 11” iPads, but I refused to upgrade it from 2020 because the started giving the 13” the better display 😡. So, I figured it’d be a no brainer, until I saw and felt how much larger the 13” is now. I’m so on the fence it’s killing me 😖. Thanks again for such a thorough video.

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

I would say the thinner and lighter design does make it more portable, but at the same time, it is still the same footprint as the previous version and it’s the footprint that usually makes it harder for me to take certain places. I think you could still do a lot of portable things with the 13” but I do feel it is still more limiting than the 11”

Greetings from Australia and keep up the great work mate. This is exactly the video I needed to see. I had the 13inch and after watching this I retuned it today and got the 11inch. So glad I did. I have a background in broadcast and having the 13inch displaying in 4:3 drove me nuts lol. 16:9 content on the 11inch is so much better and when you zoom in everything is still in title safe. Larger model just chops everything off. Also I worried the speakers won’t sound great on the 11inch and I was very wrong. Not as loud but still have that amazing punchy sound for the size.

That’s awesome! I’m glad that you found the video helpful and I’m glad you’re loving the 11 inch! Thanks for letting me know! Yeah for a lot of things I think the 11” aspect ratio is nicer.

[@Jestiphur]

I actually returned my 13 inch for an 11 inch before watching this. I've had scenarios where I've had to pull over on the side of the road for urgent business only to find my laptops cumbersome and clunky. 13 inch it's good if you don't have a laptop, but 11 inch feels better to me for portability.

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Yeah I love the 11 inch’s portability! I totally get that use case. Thanks for sharing!

[@ihorlysiuk]

11 best for choose for travel

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Definitely! It is the best for those kinds of scenarios!

[@thewildman4300]

Love the video!!! Thoughts on cellular vs non cellular? I’ve always had the cellular version but notice that when I have my MacBook out tethering is not an issue at all. Would performance be any different? Thank you

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

I honestly don’t have a lot of experience with the cellular version. I’ve actually never really gotten that version. I can see some benefits but I didn’t see enough to pay for data for it. From what I know performance wouldn’t be different, but unfortunately I don’t have one here to test. I’m glad you enjoyed the video as well!

[@jamesr.mister707]

Thanks for the help. I was going to go with the 11" but I'll be using it for video editing and i feel that the 13" will give me a bigger work space. Peace

Can you test the battery life with the Magic Keyboard I had a m1 iPad Pro 12.9 with MK and when I would play Apple Music to the fullest volume my battery would drop slightly more than the 11 inch .

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Yeah, I’m working on a battery life test video, I don’t want to rush it out, because I want to make sure it’s a very informative video

[@Adamoji]

Why can't Apple just make one iPad that's a 12"??? That would be the perfect size and then we wouldn't have to constantly be in agony with the analysis paralysis of going back and forth between the 11 and 13?? The 11 is too small for some situations and the 13 is too big for some situations. But a 12" would be perfect for just about all situations. I had a 12" Surface Pro and I never once thought it was too big or too small. It was just right!

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Yeah that would a really interesting size to use! I would definitely try that if Apple made one!

[@BV35]

So spot on!!

[@Moriningland]

Why can’t they just give a better value and start their devices at 512 gigs. Because, it’s Apple. So annoying, but for people who aren’t fanboys it makes it hard to justify the purchase

I am a macbook pro 14 person as well. When i am mobile i am mobile. I have had a 11 inch ipad since 2018, and i have always wanted to try out the 13, but ever time i look at it and spec it out i am like this is like carrying a macbook air for weight and size. If i wanted to carry a laptop i would carry a laptop. I treat the 11inch as the old 11 inch laptop, tiny, and maxed out on usfullness. I call it my little buddy, as it goes in my small bag and covers all my needs. I work in IT so i am not drawing, i am doing chats emails etc, and when required i am using it to RDP to our jump hosts to get going on an issue.

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Yeah that makes sense! I’m glad you have found a great use for your 11” iPad Pro! Thanks for sharing!

[@mendocinotim]

I’d be very interested in seeing a comparison of the two M4 iPad Pros when connected to one or more external monitors. Of particular interest to me would be a test done using monitors at various aspect ratios and resolutions; i.e., 1080p vs 1440p vs 4k. And how about those ultra wide monitors! How do the two M4 models compare? Of course, I doubt you have a bunch of monitors at all these resolutions and aspect ratios. Anyway, that is what I want to know more about. Thanks for the detailed and thorough KZbin comparison - you did a nice job.

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

I do have a 2k and a 4k monitor here and I can test how they look with them. I do know that they both only support 1 external display and they both should be outputting the same resolution, but I can see if it is different. Thanks for sharing your suggestion!

[@katherineh816]

Thanks for this awesome review! I brought home my 13 inch pro last week, but I’m currently debating exchanging for the 11 inch. I’m starting medical school this Fall, and will be using my iPad for lectures, taking notes, watching videos, etc. It will be a complement to my M2 MBA 13 inch. I love the size for multi tasking purposes, however, I just can’t make up my mind about it. I’m afraid I will find it too cumbersome to lug around to class, coffee shops, the hospital, etc. It’s been awesome to use on a table or desk, but sitting with it in my lap on the couch, holding it with one hand while writing with my other hand, feels a bit awkward. I am also very petite with small hands, adding to the awkwardness when handling it. But…. I’m afraid that I’ll regret going down to the 11 inch and will miss that extra real estate, especially when using it split screen. Had no idea I’d struggle this much with this decision lol!

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Yeah to be honest, there isn’t a perfect solution. Both sizes will have their trade offs, but for me I decided to deal with an occasionally cramped screen, but have the ability to easily take my iPad everywhere I want to take it, so that’s why 11” is working for me.

[@gabbylopez8090]

[@dr_vegapunk13]

If you want to use Magic Keyboard on a daily basis and have a laptop replacement then 13”. If you want to use it mainly as a tablet like for notes and reading then 11” is better in my opinion

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Yeah that’s definitely pretty true, I think there can be other reasons for people to choose different sizes as well, but yes, there is a lot of truth to that!

[@cessrez_official]

Which size should I get? I already have huawei laptop and I want to use the ipad for gaming and taking notes

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

I would get the 11”. You get a more portable size that I think it better for notes and especially if you want to do hand held gaming, it is much better for that

[@cessrez_official]

@@Graf-XTechReviews thanks 💖

[@gabrielsvdc]

Awesome video, really enjoyed when you compared the aspect ratio! About the screens, I noticed your 13” looking a bit sharper and a bit darker blacks. Was the brightness the same on both devices when you recorded? Could it be the viewing angle or because of a screen protector? Thanks for the video, keep up the great work!

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

I believe that was caused by the 11” being the nano-textured option. I did make a video showing the differences between those two screen types if you want to check that out!

[@gabrielsvdc]

@@Graf-XTechReviews oh yes, that makes sense! Brilliant!

[@easa90]

Does the screen deserve to upgrade my device from iPad M2 to iPad M4 and screen size 11 inches?

[@BarelyAverageDude]

no.

[@easa90]

Thank you

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Yeah if the new OLED screen is the only thing that you want to upgrade for I’d say probably not. Unless you are using it for movies and content that is taking advantage of that fully and you are willing to spend the extra money. So the short answer is probably not.

[@thewilliekay]

Which size iPad, outside of the black bars on a movie with the example you mentioned, would look best in a full screen youtube video or music video, let’s say in 4K? Thanks in advance, and love the content.

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Most KZbin videos and things like it are shot in 16:9 aspect ratios. (This is not all of them, but most of them). So for that size the 11” does look more full screen with those as well. It isn’t as noticeable as with the widescreen movies, but it is still the case. Hope that helps!

[@thewilliekay]

@@Graf-XTechReviews Much appreciated!

[@Soubhik12345.]

I have a MacBook Pro m3 16” and i can’t decide if should go for the iPad 13” or 11” just love big screens 🥲

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Yeah that’s totally up to you. With owning the 16”, even the 13” will seem much smaller and lighter so I think either one will feel very portable, but the 11” might be a good counterpart to the big laptop, but that’s just my opinion

[@RizwanPervaiz-tf3en]

good video man.

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Thanks, I’m glad you liked it!

[@highdefnews]

Did you notice a difference in brightness? I tried both & noticed the 13” was noticeably brighter. The 11” was even dimmer than my iPhone 13 Mini, which was pretty disappointing.

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

They seem to reach the same brightness levels to me. For me the only slight difference comes from the 11” being a nano-texture, but it definitely gets very bright. At least mine does. Not sure why yours wasn’t getting that bright. Sorry, wish I could help more, but I’m not really sure!

[@highdefnews]

@@Graf-XTechReviews No worries. I appreciate the reply. After looking at a few display modes, I think it’s just down to panel lottery with some screens being brighter than others. I ordered another iPad 11”. Hopefully I have better luck with this one.

[@BV35]

Good video! You have a new subscriber. I have waffled back and forth between the two sizes. I had the 12.9 and return originally because I had issues using in tablet mode. I did get an 11” and really liked it but missed the real estate when docked and for multi tasking. Is the 13 inch so much lighter that you can use for longer in tablet mode? I actually use and IPad mini for reading and you tube. If I want to watch a movie I use Apply play to a tv. Thanks….

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

I do think you can use the new 13” longer in tablet mode. It’s not like crazy night and day changes but it is better. I do have a more full review on the 13” now if you want to check that out

How is the magic keyboard on the 11 inch?

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

I enjoy it. I mean it’s definitely smaller than the 13” keyboard, but it’s not bad at all and I still find it very easy to use

[@Kar_1X]

In terms of battery, which is better, 13 inches or 11 inches? an answer please

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

I haven’t done a lot of my own testing between them, but I know from other tests I’ve seen that the 11” does have slightly better battery, but it’s not going to be a big difference

I got the 11 inch and hesitating so hard if I should keep it or change it for a 13 haha. Awesome video still !

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Hopefully I was able to help! But I understand, it’s hard to find the perfect size!

[@JosephOVA]

Do you think its worth to exchange the previous 11 inch with LCD for the new 13? Mainly for gaming with topped up specs

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Which generation 11 inch do you have? Also, even though there were a couple tests that it looked like the M4 11 inch was behind in performance, it was barely anything so I don’t think you’re really gonna get much more out of the 13 inch, unless you’re just wanting the larger size.

[@JosephOVA]

@@Graf-XTechReviews Thank you! I have the M2 11 rn, but I've noticed that when screen sharing games in Stage Manager it lags a little bit, bit its noticeable, that's why I wanted to try the m4!

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Yeah that’s interesting, I definitely think the M4 will be better for gaming. I’m not sure it will fix that exact issue or not, but I can look into it

[@JosephOVA]

@@Graf-XTechReviews awesome thanks for the insight! If you're going to try to replicate it, just play any demanding game in a monitor on Stage Manager, mostly happens when I just leave another app like KZbin open on the iPad screen !

Ok, cool, I’ll give it a go

[@playrecdigitalfilmes9396]

Hi I have a big doubt regarding which screen size should I buy the 11 or 13 I'm a photographer and cinematographer...my use for the iPad would be very broad, such as using apps to control lights in the studio, using the iPad as a monitor for the drone...as well as answering emails and drawing light maps... I've already been to the Apple store to see the 2 models in person and I still haven't decided. This decision is really difficult. What would be your opinion?

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

My gut reaction is the 11 inch. I don’t think you do many things that would really feel cramped on the 11” and you’d get more flexibility when carrying it around and it’ll just take up less space. It’s definitely not a super easy choice, but that’s my opinion.

[@minuszero332]

In Canada when you account for AppleCare and tax, the 13" is $483 more, kinda makes the decision easier.

[@Graf-XTechReviews]

Yeah I get that for sure the price definitely is pretty steep!

I have 12.9 IPad Pro M2, but I plan to get the 11 IPad Pro M4 to replace my IPad Mini

[@DedricSilva]

@@Graf-XTechReviews I do actually, I used my 12.9 for reading and social media including KZbin. All of it is good at home, though my only gripe is taking it on the go, it’s too big. But for awhile I used my Mini for reading, social media, KZbin, and streaming both at home and on the go, before I got the 12.9. I’m hoping to do the same for 11 inch IPad Pro as I plan to get the cellular plan for the pro like my IPad Mini did.
