I'm Addicted To My M4 iPad Pro

[@briantmorin]

My 11 inch M4 iPad Pro is my favorite device of all time. It is perfect for me as a person with a disability.

[@vicbertfartingclack4559]

Me too ! I love it!

[@butbunsin9044]

Most user 11 inch often say it is getting hot and hotter when they use final cut or do any large app.

[@arjaylee]

Haven’t used 13 inch, but I chose 11 for portability. I like how it fits in my bag and on the coffee shop table.

[@johnp.6045]

I like the overall positivity for the 13” M4 iPad Pro! I love mine and I don’t expect it to completely replace my Macbook Pro. Too many reviews are laser focused on the idea of replacing your Mac with the iPad. I too have been a little dissappointed with the battery life. Working with MS apps, email, and KZbin can bring down the battery pretty quickly for me. It’s not horrible, but I definitely have to charge at the end of the day. Thanks for the refreshing content!

[@williamcodywinter]

Yeah but could do for a lot of people, my M1 iPad Pro has replaced my Mac Mini now.

[@ED0Ni]

This is my first iPad, I got it as a replacement for my 2019 Intel MacBook Pro. The iPad is a great medium between a Laptop and the iPhone. With the Magic Keyboard I get the laptop, and I can just remove the iPad and use it as a tablet. Best purchase I’ve made in a while !

11 inch all the way!!! I own a 13 inch touchscreen latop asus x13 and have never used the touch screen because of how bulky it feels, inside and outside. The 11 feels so much easier to use

[@ellieyoung8389]

I have my 11 inch iPad pro for 4 years now and I have regretted not getting the 12.9 inch! Now i want the 13 inch soooo bad

[@arondyte318]

Absolutely agree with the 5G. Ever since experiencing cellular on an iPad, I’ve only been buying exclusively the Wifi+5G version. Not having the anxiety of not knowing if there’s gonna be a wifi connection or not, your iPad randomly disconnecting from web or hotspot tearing through your phone’s battery is a total gamechanger. Plus the most annoying part of having a wifi only iPad - when you get blasted by a ton of notifications when you finally connect your iPad to the net after a few hours of being offline - getting rid of that alone is THE reason for me to go for a cellular model for sure.

[@vlkhvan]

Ha, my case is exactly the opposite. My iPad is my distraction free device, for focus work - reading, researching, note-taking - so notifications are off by default at all times, and of course no need to be always connected, for browsing hotspot is more than enough. But yeah, for people who it as their main computer I can see how 5G can be so much more convenient.

[@3Toy]

Is there a mini usb SIM dongle for mac ?

[@williamcodywinter]

I’m not surprised you are addicted to it. I’m addicted to my 12.9” M1 IPad Pro, just wish it had the camera in landscape position for Zoom calls etc like the M4 does.

[@Sokkar91-x9m]

I have bought the cellular iPad pro 2018 and i have rarely used it, costs more and benefits who works alot outside doors, i think hotspot is more than enough.

[@SamThingsHD]

If you're on an iPhone, the auto connect to hotspot makes it pretty seamless. It's frictionless enough that I always just go for the WiFi version of the iPad (apart from making my macbook seem like it's got cellular itself). I think the advantages of having it built in on the iPad is the bigger battery, and the bigger antenna (from past personal experience).

[@patrickgamboa7270]

I'm happy seeing you and iPad users with the 13 inch over the 11-inch! Team 13-inch! 😁

[@housepianist]

I’m on Team 13-inch even though I’m still rocking my M2 iPad Pro 12.9.

[@kevman0610]

For me it's boring. Yes, you get a bigger screen, but battery life is roughly the same. And what annoys me is that reviewers most of the time get the biggest and greatest. Doesn't matter if an iPad, the iPhone, Apple Watch or MacBook. Sure, get what you want! But too few reviewers make videos about the same apple products with the same size. Show how to use the tinier apple watch! How is it, to work with the 11" iPad? Is it comfortable to have a smaller iPhone? But at this point Terren always had the small iPads I think, so it's a completely new experience for him. And the video is still great!

[@TheKurtLyon]

Terren, so glad that you are a YT’er that I follow that is an iPad noob and on a new adventure. I have relinquished my MB Air to my wife and a 13” iPad will be my daily, and no I do not expect it to be my new portable laptop-ish device. It’s an iPad, I have owned just plain Jane iPads for years. My use case always left me wanting more iPad features on my MB Air, than I want MBOS features on my iPad. I have been flipping nickels on iPad Air vs Pro, Cell or No Cell, blah blah blah. So Thank you Terren for giving us a fresh glimpse into your iPad journey. Keep up posted.

[@robertkettle473]

haha i've given my 13 inch air to my mother, and am going to attempt to rock the 11 inch pro. how's it going for you

[@ImGerald]

I was going for the 11 inch, but started watching a lot of videos comparing the two. I need to be able to have 2 apps opened side by side. So I ordered the 13 inch. Will arrive tomorrow!

[@Jawnderlust]

I think the vast majority of us wish they would’ve kept the same thickness as prior, and just added a bigger battery. The main reason Apple makes devices thinner is to keep the battery ‘small’, because they’ve done the math to ensure that the batteries age and wear at a rate which makes most people upgrade in ~2-3 years, rather than say ~5-6 years, so they can sell more devices… Since smaller batteries decay more quickly. I get the business needs, but it’s just frustrating given they charge such a huge premium.

[@MontyandJay]

If you have battery issues may be a lot of people might not agree with me but any of my apple devices soon they are all charged up I put my device into low power mode that’s where battery last a lot longer for me. Not a lot of people talk about this I learnt this feature on early days when it was introduced since then I love using it also I see no drastic performance difference. Give it a try I hope you enjoy it.

[@eddiemunoz3677]

Greetings from Australia. Love your videos. Congratulations on getting the 13inch BUT the 11inch just kicks ass! I returned my 13inch for the 11inch. So glad I did. Way more manageable. I don’t feel like an idiot taking it out of my bag when travelling on the train. The display finally gets the same quality this year as the 13 inch and its aspect ratio is 10x7 so it’s actually better when watching 16:9 content. The 4:3 aspect of the 13inch drove me nuts lol. I can easily live with the smaller screen realestate and the speakers are less loud but the sound quality is just as good. You still made a great choice with the 13 so I’m not hating on it. Just get more out of the 11inch in my use cases. Also the best part was I was able to return my 13inch 1TB for the 11inch 2TB wifi cellular version only paid $80 extra.

[@swhi1106]

That's a lot of storage (2TB) do you recommend that amount. Is your 11" your primary computing device?

[@neilsbaker9790]

I did exactly the same as you…I bought the 13” iPad Pro and as soon as I got it I knew it was just not a portable tablet….so returned it and got the 11.5” iPad Pro and have never looked back. It’s just the right size … it’s portable with a great screen and heaps of power. If I want something larger to view I can link it to my Apple TV and watch movies and stuff on the large TV screen.

[@DigiDriftZone]

Totally I agree with you on the 11" size, It's both too big and too small at the same time. It's too big because you can't comfortably hold and type on it, but it's too small to be productive. I ended up selling it and getting an iPad Mini for using handheld with typing, content consumption, etc and a 12.9" when working with photography and an external display for productivity on the go.

[@StevenMichels]

I almost went with the new Air, but the screen on the Pro is so freaking nice! I couldn’t resist it.

[@TerrenRule]

I don't blame you! I literally did the same thing lol

[@hugotipple]

I hate that the M2 Air is MORE than capable of at least having 120hz ProMotion display and they choose not to add it. Come on! Let the tandem oled screen be a pro feature, but at least give the Air the 120hz display.

[@auviance222]

@@hugotipple They'd have a lot less sales on the Pro, they know what they're doing. I was genuinely considering getting the Air also, but then I went to an Apple Store and played with it and the 60hz just pierces thru my eyes, I'm too accustomed to ProMotion at this point. I was both slightly heartbroken & disgusted driving from there, getting an M2 powered 2024 device for 599$ seemed like such an incredible deal. I wonder what would Steve Jobs' reaction would be to deliberately underclocking a device to make a different one more appealing. I want the iPad to last me 4-5 years, there's no way I'm looking at a 60hz display in 2029. M4 it is. 😃

[@epeehammu]

​@@TerrenRuleIt's screen on time?

[@lifeofmisschar]

As a constant iPad Pro user from 019, thanks for bringing up the battery, I honestly think it's the display, as I like to use mine with full brightness. I just bought M4, im coming from M2 so let's see if there are any improvements. Im so used to charging constantly, as I still have my intel MacBook, same battery from purchase.

[@brm98]

I agree on the battery. I’m using the M2 chip iPad Pro with magic keyboard and just doing basic things the battery lasts about half a day. I wish Apple would build in a battery into the keyboard as a back up. I feel a battery in the base would also help with the built in “tilting feature” when the iPad is in lap mode. 😅

[@Alex-uy8zx]

Nice review, and I agree how amazing the new M4 13 inch iPad is as an everyday device, as well as Goodnotes. I've been using it for 3 years on my iPad Mini. As for battery drain, I suspect that you're keeping the screen on full brightness. That will kill it much faster. I keep mine up to 75% brightness and it lasts the entire day.

[@Clankillas]

Great review! I agree with you on how the 13” seems more appealing, but I can also relate with those who favor the 11” and it’s solely because you can fit it in smaller back packs. So while the idea of an iPad is NOT to replace the laptop, it remains true that if you want a laptop then you’d get the Apple MacBook Pro than to get a 13” iPad.

[@ProductivePM]

Terren, great video, great information. I agree with you on the 13" vs 11". I honestly tried the 11" but the keyboard (my main source of input) just felt too small. I do have an iPad Mini so for reading, this is a good option. Even though I have a Macbook Air M1 with 16gb RAM and 1 tb of ssd, I still think of my iPad as my laptop. Wishing you all the best on the channel.

[@hrhhrh3175]

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR THIS TYPE OF REVIEW. THISSSSS IS WHAT I NEEDED. I couldn't decide between the 11" or 13". This helped a lot.♥♥♥

[@BrandonCarson]

Completely agree on the battery life. I’ve been using my iPad 13” M4 for work, including long Teams meetings and the battery just drains. Maybe 1/2 a day of work. I see both Teams and Zoom just sucks the battery.

[@jimtipton8888]

Hey Terren, I hear you, but have you used your 13” in the front seat of a truck or in economy class? Team 11” here. I came from team 12.9”. I really enjoyed it. Needs changed and the 11 just fits my program better. You’ll enjoy that 13”! Seems like a great choice for you!

[@uniquesoul73]

Great video. I upgraded from the M2 Pro 11 inch to the 13 inch M4 and I’m glad I did. The magic keyboard is AWESOME and give the feeling of using my MacBook. I am honestly at the point where I think that I can replace my Macbook with this beautiful device….still in test mode tho. ❤

[@robertkozak]

The biggest difference between your iPad and MacBook is the 5G you have turned on. That will kill your battery fast. No one else mentions it because they dont have or use 5G

[@BlazePas]

This is not true. However there is some truth in the statement. Turning 5g on or off when using productivity apps has a negligible effect on battery life…there is one popular app that will drain the battery very quickly while streaming on 5g…and everyone with an iPad watching this video has it…and its the KZbin app…i don’t know what google is doing but you can lstream netflix, Hulu, Disney+ etc. using half the battery life that KZbin uses. I’m not sure what it’s about, but I’ve had a 2019, M1 and now M4 iPad Pro all with Data and this has been the case.

[@scottmitchell3106]

@@BlazePasThank you for this information. So, I have both an iPad Air 5th generation with 5G and I just had Verizon ship me the new M4 iPad Pro 13” also with 5G and you couldn’t be more right. KZbin (and even WORSE…TikTok!!) just KILLS battery life even on the brand new M4 equipped iPad Pro.

Great review. I tried to use Magic Keyboard in the past multiple times, and for both 11 and 12.9. Still have the 11 MKB that I never use. Having a MacBook Air 15 it always felt redundant to use iPad with MKB, and MBA always provided better typing experience than MKB. Perhaps, if I didn’t have a laptop I’d appreciate the MKB more, but since I have a laptop I just use an iPad (now 13 M4) as a tablet, and just use virtual KB when I want to type a comment like this one

I’ve never had a situation where my phone wasn’t seamlessly available for hotspot - the watch and tablet have never replaced my phone in terms of EDC.

[@pedrogriffin1934]

I’d have to disagree with the size difference. My iPad 11 Pro is the perfect size. If I need to use the keyboard for something more labor intensive, I just snap it onto the logitech combo keyboard and get the work done and afterwards I get up and walk around and use it with one hand to watch youtube or or netflix. I tried that with the 13 in and the one hand hold/use was not the same. If I need something a bit bigger for a bit more labor intensive task then I just use my MacBook Air M1
