M4 iPad Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra: A CLEAR Winner?

[@rawdiggitydog]

The aspect ratio on the ipad effects media consumption. The Samsung tabs have the perfect aspect ratio for movies. Also for some reason silent mode mutes volume of games on the ipad. Two big items to whoever is considering these devices.

[@michael-4k4000]

Have an S9 11" and a an iPad Pro 11". if we are just talking about screens, they both are amazing and anyone would be extremely happy with either. However, the tandem oled display is the best display I have ever seen. Yes it's brighter, but it's not just that, the tandem oled display is near perfect>. OLED displays usually use ABL, which limits the full screen brightness after a short period of time. The tandem oled display does not have this issue. It always looks bright full screen, even at lower brightness. All that being said, I still prefer to watch content on the Samsung, because of its aspect ratio (less black bars being used) so you get more screen to actually use, rather then being "blacked out" due to the films aspect ratio.

[@fishnsteve]

I'm a 20-year professional graphic designer and have used the Tab S9 Ultra for 1.5 years since its release. I can confidently say, without a doubt, that the best tablet is indeed the M4 Galaxy Pad S9 Pro Ultra 5G.

If you’re going to have a tablet docked to a keyboard 99% of the time then why not save some money and just buy a laptop?

[@jackwong64]

It's because of the apps, for example I dont use pc browser to login to my bank/credit card accounts anymore, it's much easier and secure to login directly with their apps. I have a 32gb ram windows laptop at home and I only remote into it. I have been using iPad pro wifi as my main device since 2018, then upgraded to m2 11" cellular and next one will be m4 13" cellular. Its just my personal preferences.

[@keith.vukasinovich]

I bought the S8 Ultra out of curiosity. It was larger than my M1 iPad Pro 12.9 & I like writing my notes… less than 3 years later I’ve stepped almost entirely out of the Apple walled garden. The M4 is a senseless upgrade to the hamstrung iPadOS. Dec is still better than Stage Manager. The “new” iPad design is finally slightly thinner than the S8 Ultra & the new pencil pro features are finally approaching the S Pen features. Regarding the apps optimization issue was noticeable 10 years ago, not so much any more. Apple needs to step its game up.

I went with the Tab S9 Plus recently to replace my aging iPad Pro 2017. The Samsung was just massively cheaper than an equivalent iPad Pro, it has much better multitasking, much higher degree of customization, a stock keyboard that can do predictive typing in my native language (come on Apple!), comes with the S-pen and otherwise is close in spec to the latest and greatest OLED iPad Pro. Apple had nothing even close to comparable in the same price range.

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

I made that mistake four years ago when I had the chance to get the iPad Pro 2020 and I chose the galaxy tab S7 plus and it was a horrible experience for me not to do with the tablet itself but more to do the software and I couldn’t find any contact apps that I wanted And the speakers were absolutely garbage on the Samsung tablet as well compared to my sisters iPad Pro which had booming bass and I think the Samsung had big brand for their audio system but can’t remember the name but either way I did not enjoy it. It sucked so I got rid of the 7plus and I haven’t looked back. I’m sorry but I do think the iPad Pro is the better device, but I will concede the iPadOS hold it back, I would still rather use iPadOS over Samsung‘s brand of android which is a bloated mess.

[@Paul-if1jq]

I have both. I have been with Apple for decades. I still have my old 2018 iPad Pro, my partner has the m4 iPad, but I bough a Tab S9 ultra over the M4. Apple Cost: Pen + Keyboard and iPad is expensive, it can easily cost more than a MacBook Pro. Functionality: cut down features compared to desktop OS, dreadful desktop experience, not really Pro Power: fast but you rarely can use the power, its like a Aston Martin Martin engine in a Mini Tablets for me at least need to be portable, even though it bigger i like it a lot. The aspect ratio is better for media and browsing you get more on a screen. I tend to consume media, write documents, send and respond to emails, Dex is on another level, Apples stage manager, text correction and file management is dire. It’s fast, the iPad is faster in tests but it shows how the power is not utilised, as the 9 ultra is silky smooth even inn games. I still use apple mail, 365 office, Netflix, X, facebook, Prime, etc on my Ultra, all my existing apps are available through iCloud from my browser I thought I’d miss my iPad, but I dont. Mind you I still have a iPhone and MacBook

Your comments are misleading and this review is not very accurate. First off, both tablets do not have a Thunderbolt 4 port. The iPad is Thunderbolt 4 whilst the S9 Ultra is only USB C 3.2 Gen 1. That means the iPad is capable of doing up to 10G using a specific Thunderbolt cable (You can’t just use any C-to-C cable to work) and 3.1 Gen Type C can only achieve up to 5Gbps (still not bad but is not 10Gb). Second, the Samsung display does not achieve 1700 nits of brightness 😆. Please do not spread misinformation as these devices are not cheap! Both devices are extremely nice in my opinion. Just depends on your cause of use.

I like how I can slap a USB-C card reader or a USB-C flash drive on the Galaxy tab and it's ablel to recognize, open and use that storage immediately........unlike my ipad 10th which never open my USB-C flash drive. I carry my back pack around and I also use a dash cam....how will you be able to slap a USB-C card reader, put the microSD card in then in the iPad (usb-c port) w/o having some incompatible issues?

Not sure where you got the 1750 nits from for brightness on the S9 Ultra. Samsung specs and reviews show it has a peak brightness of 930 nits in HDR. In SDR, it’s around 400 nits. I have one of these and its brightness is nowhere near that of the iPad Pro.

[@jandy1]

I wonder if it is HDR "peak brightness". Meaning the highlights in HDR can go that bright but the sustained brightness maxes out at 930.

[@techinrl9869]

@@jandy1 No where in their literature does Samsung mention anything about 1750 nits. They do talk about a maximum 930 nits under HDR. Regular OLED panels of that size cannot sustain that kind of brightness. That’s why Apple uses the tandem OLED. The S9 Ultra uses their standard high end AMOLED panel, which I believe they call AMOLED 2X. I have one of these. It’s not a very bright tablet. It’s still a very nice screen. It just isn’t really any brighter than most other OLED panels. The stat might be confused with Samsung’s Galaxy phones which can reach that brightness, but those are short-lived to be used in bright sunlight and dim down very quickly.

[@kasakka]

Compared the Tab S9 Plus to my M2 MacBook Pro 16" (1600 nits peak, 1000 sustained brightness) and for HDR content I really had to look at the brightest of bright highlights side by side to see a difference. The Mac was just marginally better. I think the HDR performance of the Tab S9 series is very good.

[@Johnov]

@@kasakkaJust to clarify, the mini LEDs in the M2 MacBook Pro (and the M1/M2 iPad Pros) have 1600 nit peak and 600 sustained. The display in the new iPad Pros are 1000 sustained, and it does make a noticeable difference in sunlight.

While I understand the stance that the specs of the iPad and Tab S9 are powerful enough to run present-day apps for most people, it’s important to note that the chipset in Tab S9 (and S10) isn’t in the same league as the M4 in terms of power. This is significant when considering longevity, as the M4 iPad Pro will likely still feel snappy after 5+ years.

Got the m4 iPad Pro 13 in on release day and have enjoyed every thing about it. Came from a 12.9 and the drastic weight difference and thinness is one you really have see in person. Not to mention, the OLED is a big improvement over the mini LED on the M1 Pro. As always, battery could be better but, I like my m4 iPad Pro

[@Carryhandle556]

Would you say the battery is on par with the M1 pro or worse? Just upgraded from my 2020 pro to an M2 Pro and I don't feel bad about it. It's on sale for the same price as the new 13" air. Same chip but better display and 120hz.

We're dying to know what Apple really thinks of and is planning to do anout touch screens for Macs.

[@DDDDD760]

You seem to be a proud Cleveland Indians fan … perhaps you’ll see a World Series Championship come to your team in a few decades. 😂 Love your videos!!!

[@actie-reactie]

Never using a trackpad....allways using a mouse...and watching movies is way better on the s9 due to aspect ratio

[@Hitthegasmedia]

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series is clearly a better tablet than the iPad by far and it's doing it just by software alone. However, the software support (apps) aren't at iPad level and the ipad basically has a desktop cpu.

[@pershymiem4609]

You forgot the IP68 on the TAB S9 ULTRA😊

[@ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーヅ]

Samsung has really bad customer service!

[@WarAlex16]

Really. I’ve never had issues. They’ve always been great.

[@dotnerdmyad]

Samsung sucks here in Bangladesh.

[@justwanttoplayrandomgames6752]

Bad customer service here in asia

[@kcwookie]

That is an understatement. I have never seen customer service as poor as I have saw with dealing with Samsung.

[@Noodles.FreeUkraine]

@@justwanttoplayrandomgames6752 No worries, same in Europe.

[@IamCROOkEdTV]

The issue for me here is the s9 tab uses the same processor as the s23 ultra. It's not very good for gaming compared to the M4. I'm an android guy but M4 was my first ever apple purchase. The downsides are iOS is not nearly as good as the android and everything is just so expensive like the keyboard and the pen.

[@AndysTV]

you can probably buy apple magic trackpad to solve the precision trackpad issue for samsung tab

[@infamous_MB]

I have Samsung 24 ultra, watch, Galaxy buds but I can’t get built in LTE but I can get any iPad with LTE

[@Dk-qf8dd]

I really like the Samsung however I wish they had an 11 inch version. 14 is bigger than I currently need or want.

[@Betancourtdm]

The plus model is 12.4" and the cheapest model is 11"

[@OppenChad]

I just bought iPad M4 for my wife. I would buy samsung if I am buying for my self. Nothing bad in iPad but I am more like a android person. M4 chip is really powerful, not sure samsung can match it.

[@King_504]

In my professional opinion, Samsung is the superior choice due to its superior display, expandable storage, and more robust ecosystem.

[@techideafirm3563]

I PROMISE MYSELF, never to continue watching a video judge or rated by ecosystem

[@StephenColbert957]

I will be forever grateful to you miss Nicole Flynn Friedman, I really don't know how to appreciate you, you change my life and my family situation, a huge thanks to her expert Nicole...🎉🎉

[@JonJ321]

I bought the S9 Ultra. After a few weeks of use with family and friends, they switched from thier Ipad Pros for a Samsung tablet.

[@kondor99999]

Do you really expect anyone to believe that? So, they just dumped their brand new $2000 tablets for something else. Riiiiiiight.😅

[@superiortoall22]

Im an aviator, we use iPads for Foreflight which then can be used on Apple watches as well. Foreflight isnt on Android tablets, as well as other optimized apps. I have to go with the iPad for sure.

[@MrPoliarinis]

"Android is not optimized for tablets" Give me some real-world examples. It seems like you don't know what you're talking about. In my experience, the iPad is far behind even in this area.

[@websenpai74]

I think ipad air or samsung tab s9 is the one people should buy. After that, it's laptop or macbook territory

[@HomesteadAce]

So is this video sponsored by Apple or Samsung... or both?

[@macrumors]

Both

[@destroyerdestroyer6790]

What is about iPad mini 2024?

[@chrisbrown-lx7qz]

I’m watchin this video on my 11 inch iPad Pro M4 the best damn tablet ever 😃

[@shather.alawadi]

I am very confused between Apple and Android 😢

[@DarkMaster89]

Tab s9 ultra win again 🔥

[@ians421]

A great video - thanks. Apple is expensive but their eco system is easy to use and, from my experience, secure.

[@1point689]

S9 Ulltra just one magic keyboard away from the best tablet

[@BobBack86]

I always feel tempted with these Galaxy Tabs. I had one a long time ago and I really liked it. I’m using the M1 iPad currently but one thing that I refuse is to buy this extremely overpriced iPad keyboard. Also Apple prices for storage and memory are making me want to leave the ecosystem.

[@JeffPom]

Storage - sure, you can put an sd in the Samsung, but how well does it work when you put apps on it. Especially if it’s a cheaper sd.

[@tytownsend8219]

Apps works well on the s9ultra when u put them on an SD card. Most of the time you don't need an SD card because Samsung usually gives you double the storage for free.

[@danielperez3044]

The Tab s9 ultra peaks at 950 nits 😅

[@ericb.1102]

MY non judgmental opinion: The Channel is MacRumors ppl! The title is misleading you to 12 minutes of your time. Basically going to glamorize the apple eco system while trying to not seem unbiased in opinion. Took 8:32 to tell you what should be obvious if you have apple go with iPad or samsung go with s9 ultra or s8 ultra btw really isn't an upgrade (slightly better CPU, water resistance). All these verses battles are getting ridiculous!!

[@onestepper]

Great review, objective…

[@Danny95773]

I love would if the iPad had the Dynamic Island in my presence like the iPhones now
