NEW Wireless Charging M4 iPad Pro Stands!

[@Thunsegen]

High quality videos with a friendly host. This channel is underrated.

[@feedmatrix10]

I long for the day people stop using underRATED all wrong. No, he is rated well, he simply is not as popular

[@beardfm]

Appreciate that 🙏🏻

[@leajtick1983]

+1 from me in the uk!! I only came across this channel a few weeks ago so im working my way through the archive and i love trying out the Shortcuts!! Lots of real-world scenarios covered which im a huge fan of too.

[@GregConquest]

Thanks for the review. After watching a half-dozen reviews, you're the only one who has mentioned the ease with which the on-screen keyboard can be displayed. Another reviewer suggested going into Accessibility and adding the floating Home button and keyboard that way, but it gets in the way. Your solution is easier. One note about Bluetooth keyboards, apparently they still work fine even though the iPad thinks it's already connected to a keyboard because the three pogo pins are being used to charge it. Regarding the rubber-ish material covering the metal plate ( @3:06 ), another reviewer did say that heat from the iPad is drawn away quite effectively into the stand, so I'm guessing it is a combination semi-soft material that also has much better heat conduction properties than the felt-like alternatives you mentioned. I'm considering the X33 Pro for my M2 iPad Air 13, but I travel to different sites, and the weight is the biggest drawback. It's hard to argue against the design, though, as the heft and size appear to make it a very stable surface especially for drawing. I just wish there were light flipcases that used the pogo pins so I could travel, keep the iPad charged, and use the USB-C port for connecting to an external display.

[@GR_Morizo]

Since you mentioned travel, what stand or case do you use for travel that still keeps your iPad charged and connected to an external display? I am looking for one! Thanks for your comment!

[@buhizkewl7105]

I love the format of your videos. End to end information, presented in a genuinely friendly way. Keep it up!

[@beardfm]

I appreciate that! Will do

[@user-cb3vs3oh5h]

You struggling to move the desk stand was honestly an instant sell for me. I really wanted something that was extremely sturdy and this looks perfect!

[@westcoastmusic1129]

Just got the desk stand to replace one I was using from Pitaka with my old M1 and I really like it so far. I love that it doesn’t require a case on the back for charging like the Pitaka does, but it is very stiff at first and I agree about the material worrying me that it’ll scratch the back when taking on and off. Great review!

[@beardfm]

Appreciate it! Thanks for watching

[@MrSpock888]

Love the stand. Had mine for 2 weeks and have experienced no problems.

[@beardfm]

Nice! I love that it charges too

[@xtracredit]

Thanks for the video. I can’t wait to see the new solutions coming out for the M4 iPad Pro. I have the MAGFLÖTT for my 12.9” iPad Pro and love it. I received an email today from them, announcing the M4 version stand. I wish they just offered a replacement for the plate which would be easier for current customers.

[@beardfm]

Ah didn’t know they announced a revision already! I’m excited to try it as well, loved the first model

[@xtracredit]

[@fahrai4983]

Thinking about getting something like this for my M4, or one for my wife’s M2 air, so I have a place to “dock” for writing at my desk and she has a place to “dock” for art at hers. Thank you for the review!

[@beardfm]

Of course! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@Shiva-cg5nj]

Hello do you have something like this for Samsung Tab S10 ultra 😢

[@TransitAndTeslas]

Holy crap this is a perfect minimalist point of sale stand!! Ordering!!

[@beardfm]

It's pretty great! You'll enjoy I think.

[@alpaslanatakul]

Is it compatible withe the pitaka aramid case?

[@TunedByJ]

I'm going with the X360 stand, I just would like to see what iPadOS18 will bring to the table to upgrade

[@susanleach9106]

I’m going to keep to my old Belkin which has been with me for years. Has fitted all my iPads plus always goes with me on all my travels.

[@beardfm]

I don't think I've tried that one 🤔

[@susanleach9106]

@@beardfm The Belkin one I have is no longer available I have tried on numerous occasions to get another. And when I do find one it says no longer made.

[@KuroZero]

I really want the magnetic/charging part without the stand. Do you think it would be possible to break the 360 degree spinning part off? Edit: Ended up picking this up. I warmed up the piece on the ipad side of the stand and was able to separate it from the metal backing. There are 2 screws holding the plate to the stand. Very easy to remove. The magnets are a little tricky to get back in. I ended up leaving half of them out because they are super strong anyway.

[@beardfm]

Hm interesting, possibly as the charging area where you plug in the cable is on the plate, not stand.

[@aralcubukcu]

do you know how they did use the tripping connector isn’t it chipped by Apple?

[@beardfm]

Apple allows third parties to use the Smart Connector, like the Logitech Combo Touch keyboard. But I think only for “keyboards” which is why that pop up happens

[@aralcubukcu]

@@beardfm i commented the same on this product's maker's video i searched for this product for a long time but the price made me regret it will be 200+$ for 120$ one with taxes and shipping To Turkey I would rather sticking my usb c in the ipad than paying a huge fee for this stand

[@angelamalhotra7252]

Does anyone know, if you put a decal skin on the back of your ipad, will it still charge it? that way you don't have to worry about scratches.

[@nchia]

Slightly smaller than the iPad sounds practical when you wanted your grip the shorter sides to take the iPad off the stand.

[@beardfm]

That’s true. And it is symmetrical at least

[@thedave1771]

Yeah. Trying to grab the iPad off of Apple’s Smart Keyboard is a bit obnoxious, it would be much easier with the “lip”

[@dexarok]

Apple really needs to provide specs in advance for anyone who pays for the MFI program (Or whatever that's called these days) ... the surprises when products are announced are fun for a day, but waiting months for good accessories sucks.

[@keithsupian6603]

Did i hear you say the X36 will work with my older iPad Pro from 2018?

[@GadgetReviewVideos]

Hmm, I like the arm maybe with a bluetooth keyboard? But what if someone just made the back plate (with or without charger) and used the common tripod thread. Then you can use any adjustable arm you might already own.

[@GregConquest]

It would be lighter too (assuming you keep a tripod at your destination or have a light tripod). I don't think it would be nearly as stable, though. The X33 just looks super stable for drawing.

[@dieterwalenta1682]

Fine video! What i in addition like to know is, whether the hinge between base and arm opens to a maximum of just 90 degrees or is it more, ideally 135 degrees. My setting is very special, hence this strange question. I have a pro 2024 M4. Thank you very much!

[@beardfm]

Hey there! Do you mean for the X33 stand? It can't go farther than 90 degrees in either direction if that's what you mean.

[@crashn2me105]

If you don't want scratches use a dBrand skin ! Great video, thank you.

[@beardfm]

Very true! and thanks!

[@supereldian]

I hope Lab22 makes a new version. Wireless charging isn't a priority for me, and I think its articulation mechanism is the best.

[@PrimeConnoisseur]

Does the keyboard issue only show up when it’s being charged via the port on the stand?

[@beardfm]

That’s correct, it won’t happen if you’re not charging it.

[@picocassio4301]

Does the Kuxiu stand works with cases too? Or do i have to take the ipad out of any protection case.

[@beardfm]

You'll have to take the iPad out of its case

[@CGI929]

Thanks!

[@gabek1120]

Can this work with a case on? I am debating the ear cases or an off brand megnetic case cause the color options and cuteness is more common on other brands. I really been wanting to make a interchangeable magnetic combination of esr cases, a base case that’s some cuter more protective option form some other brand, and some the magnetic stands, one for home with that multiple bending arm option and one folding that I can take outside home.

[@MKizzle2906]

can we make it a wall mount ?

[@jeffhale1189]

Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.

[@beardfm]

Same to you!

[@DW-ph2xg]

DP, I’m curious. Did Andrew Camarata’s fiery negative excavator experience teach you anytime about the importance of having a proper working fire extinguisher on board of all your equipment?

[@zynan]

Does the stand magnets and charging work if you have a case on your iPad?

[@ЖеняШевченко-н3с]

No, every magnetic stand need it to be without case on

[@jenniferul1800]

Do these stands work on top of a clear case? or do I have to take the case off?

[@beardfm]

You would have to take off any case for the iPad to charge and attach

[@rowanstrang8072]

Interesting note regarding the show keyboard thing. Sounds like this company have tricked the iPad into thinking a keyboard is attached. Which suggests this product is not certified by Apple and the charging compatibility could break with a future software update. (If Apple wanted to block a product like this from working)

[@beardfm]

I think Apple allows third parties to use the Smart Connector (like Logitech and the combo tough keyboard), but the support is for “keyboards only.” So they probably needed to make the iPad think it’s a keyboard being attached.

[@picocassio4301]

I need some explaining - every article i found says that the new ipad doesnt support wireless charging?

[@beardfm]

It support charging through the "Smart Connector" but not "MagSafe" or "Qi2"

[@snakefish18]

Does the iPad Pro 12.9 charger work on iPad Pro 13 (I know it fits, but does it cause any issues)?

[@thedave1771]

The USB-C cable/brick? Yes.

[@iamrishio]

Do you know if Apple open up the Charging connector or did this company hack it? I hope it’s the latter.

[@beardfm]

Apple allows third parties to use the connector. It’s just until now the only brand to do it has been Logitech with the Combo Touch keyboard

[@iamrishio]

Oh, I thought Logitech had a special secret deal with Apple since they often ship alternatives to Apple’s offerings that no other company can seem to match. I don’t get why other companies who made iPad stands never made use of the 3 pins to charge the iPad. Doesn’t make sense if Apple allowed them to.

[@jlperez67]

Have you checked the one from Anker?

[@beardfm]

Say what now? I didn’t see they had one!

[@jlperez67]

@@beardfm it is a stand and a hub combined.

[@GregConquest]

@@beardfm The Anker 551 has a stand and integrated hub that uses the iPad's USB-C port to charge and provide connectivity. I presume that's the one jlperez67 is referring to. It's about the same price as the X33 and looks pretty nice, actually.

[@em.a.httpss]

Have had the Satechi stand for like 3 years and it's still rock solid. Half the time I use it for my Macbook Air as well :-)

[@ericfatherof11]

If you’re not using the old stand - can I have it for my iPad 12.9 M2 pro LOL

[@ericfatherof11]

Just kidding of course. That is a Nice stand. I like the extension stand like a monitor mount

[@beardfm]

Which one, MagFlott or Lab22? DM me on Twitter or Instagram: @stephenrobles

[@Moessy706]

3:04 Harder plastic rubber back is better to avoid scratches. The cloth or fiber surface have a better chance to retain dusk or other dirt particle that could scratch.

[@MrEcosystem-AM]

I hope the ipad supports magsafe eventually

[@beardfm]

If MagSafe charging got a little faster, for sure!

[@andruskyg.8836]

To bad is just for the 13” model..

[@Gobolinn]

i want to rip out that connector and reverse engineer

[@elatletico6665]

130$ for the 13’’ version!!!! that’s the problem with this $ell out reviewer$ they want to sell you a expensive product without telling you the price and all the flaws of the product, that beta stand should not cost more than 30$ they want 130$ 👎👎👎

I clearly state the price of both stands in the video

[@sharonb.9128]

Are you really that challenged or inexperienced in life not to realize that people have different price “pain points”? Do you understand that some people are COMFORTABLE paying a price for additional conveniences, features or quality of life improvements that others are not? It’s OK to pay less for less but the opposite is equally true.
