The iPad Pro 2022 (M2) is ACTUALLY Good! But…

[@MinimalisTech]

[@Jonathantuba]

I don’t know why there’s so much hatred for the M2 IPad Pro. Yes, the hover feature is about the only real upgrade over the M1, but so what, it is an incremental update. Not worthwhile for M1 owners, but it is for people moving up from earlier iPads

[@MinimalisTech]

For real dude! It’s actually badass. Still enjoying this thing. I’m happy I didn’t let early reviews ruin a good experience.

[@galacticnovastudios]

I think because iPhone 14 was a big event with huge improvements to Apple Watch, AirPods, and even the iPhone 14 pro is gonna break my not upgrading streak When you compare an iPhone 12/13 to a 14 pro it’s a huge jump When you compare an iPad Pro m1 to m2 it’s not, However that doesn’t mean it’s bad it’s people just getting their expectations up too high for a year over year upgrade. Most people were saying an m1 was unnecessarily powerful for an ipad let alone an M2. Personally I like when companies do minor upgrades year over year and save major things for milestones, buying new every year is both wasteful and expensive.

[@jmbosquesillo7203]

Love my M2 and paid no attention to most of the reviewers. Too many were based solely off of rumors as no one had hands on an M2 to review. When all that “maybe” didn’t happen, they lost it. Sad really. If an M1 is great than an M2, being an M1 with a boost, is even greater.

[@KRL-the-householder]

No reason to upgrade from my 2018 iPad Pro 11” either

[@mattbrodeur7416]

No price difference from Verizon from a 3rd gen or the newest 6th gen. Both have the exact same price. No Brainer to buy the newest one when you don’t own one

[@rogeljantare8282]

I bought an ipad pro m2 the moment it has its pre order available. I used it for college and I do not regret a single thing about it. Such an amazing tool for students alike

[@Francis-ei7qi]

Got the M2 iPad Pro a few days back and I love it so far, it’s my first iPad since the iPad Air 2nd gen.

[@aerohk]

It's cool to hate on Apple new iPad lineup. But guys, this iPad is amazing.

[@pantherfox8671]

Same man, having a 2018 iPad Pro for 2 years was crazy, the new m2 iPad Pro is so strong and good for gaming imo

[@hornsquirrel9598]

Watching this off the 11ich base model, it’s amazing

[@marvinfollero846]

M2 iPad pro is best fit for people like me, who buys their very first apple product. Enjoying it so far. Hope it will last for 4+ years

[@UltraKryptonian]

Yeah, the M1 iPad Pro users are hating the M2 iPad Pro a lot on YT. But, I upgraded from the 2017 iPad Pro, so it was a worthy upgrade to me. Don’t hate… appreciate!

[@elijahdelacruz3204]

Great take!! Most of these KZbinrs are looking at the M2 iPad Pro from the perspective of someone who’s coming from an M1 iPad Pro/Air, someone who’s upgrading their iPads yearly (aka the typical tech reviewer perspective). And that’s what irritates me, because they forget that most people keep their iPads for well over 3-5 years. Heck, I upgraded from the 2015 iPad Air 2, so I Knew what I wanted and needed. At first I thought the hover feature and stage manager wouldn’t be utilized much on my end. But, as a university student who now replaced his laptop for the M2 iPad Pro as his main productivity device, I find myself using the stage manager feature and hover feature very frequently for note taking, multitasking, marking/highlighting pdfs, and drawing/sketching. PS. The model I have is the 256 GB M2 iPad Pro, with magic keyboard case and 2nd gen Apple Pencil

[@tgreen12345]

I just got my M2 iPad Pro. I upgraded from the 2018 iPad Pro. The new M2 is amazing. I mainly use Procreate for illustrating - I’m so glad I did the upgrade. Fully recommend it.✌️

[@HvD75]

Thanks for the review, I'm upgrading from a 2016 iPad Pro 32GB and was getting a little bummed from all the useless comparison with the 2021 and it not being a great upgrade. I hope it will last me another 6 years, but the 2022 certainly makes that quite a bit more likely.

[@Bruce.-Wayne]

@0:58....Lol....love the dog...I think that look says he's approved of the review...

[@pepijnhuvenaars]

Thanks. The first reviewer that reviews the tablet instead of the upgrade over previous year's review. I feel like with every review I need to also watch previous versions' reviews to know if the tablet is any good.

[@TheShaolin015]

thank you. I got so tired of hearing these tech reviewers who get every ipad every year and say, dont buy this version because its not a big enough upgrade from the previous model. Most people arent buying an ipad every year....probably they buy one every 5 years.

[@saiiiii8683]

Damn good review!! I’m planning to get the 12.9 inch. This is my first time getting an ipad and I’m quite excited about it. Was tossed between getting a macbook or an ipad but I mostly wanna take notes, consume media and game on it so I think the ipad is a better choice for me

[@MinimalisTech]

Thank you! It’s super unique but I really enjoy the workflow on here. As a wannabe minimalist, it just feels good. To me at least.

[@geefim2144]

Is the M2 chip worth $300 more than the M1 chip . M1 is on sale

[@geefim2144]

I went with the new M2 with cellular 256gb. Magic Keyboard and new pencil . Happy and it’s my first iPad

[@kevingreiner5772]

I tested the 12.9 inch out in the store, and didn’t notice too much of a difference in the screens between the 11 inch. The main reason I want the 12.9 inch is because I play piano and reading music notes on the 12.9 inch was way easier to see. I was able to compare sheet music in the store and it helped me decide which one I want to get. I don’t have great eyes and the bigger screen is going to be nice to read notes better and the pen will be sweet to use for note taking on the sheet music.

[@Alt-Key_Here]

As someone who has come from an iPad Mini 2, this upgrade is worth it.

[@freddyjason3142]

See, that was a great video because all I see is people talking bad about the M2 iPad Pro, I think I’ve only seen one other video where someone talked good about the M2 iPad Pro, but in the comments they ripped it apart. For me as a person whose last iPad was the iPad 3, almost 10 years ago before they even had an air, or a mini, getting the M2 iPad Pro was like buying my MacBook Pro but in tablet form and I absolutely love it and I use it as an iPad not a laptop because I have a MacBook Pro and iMac and everything else. I just haven’t bought an iPad in a long time, but I am very happy with it

[@joeyjames4953]

Great video! You have solidified my decision to upgrade to a base model iPad Pro 11 from the original air 1 32gb I’ve been using since launch. I’m very overdue for an upgrade and was sweetened by the refurbished prices on a 2021 12.9, which would be overkill for my workflow.

[@jjhervey4153]

I just bought the 2022 iPad Pro and hadn't used any handheld from Apple since about 10-15 years ago when the iPod first had a screen (it was stolen after 2 days of ownership). Early on, I LOVE THIS THING and the fact that you can extend it to another screen makes it a candidate for a full laptop replacement for my use. Can't wait to get into this thing more.

[@TheTrafficBoss]

This is how it started for me a few years ago. Comcast gave me a free iPad. While at the same time I had a job that everyone had an iPhone but me. I was impressed with the iPad, so I got an iPhone XS Max. I was still an “Android guy” tho. Now it’s like 6 years down the road and I still have an Android phone but my daily is an iPhone 14 Pro Max and it runs along with a piece of every category of their ecosystem including my M2 iPad Pro. I’m posting this 3 months after your initial comment, Im curious if you’ve delved any further than the iPad. Air Pods? Apple TV? Plans to?

[@snndmann7545]

Best review out there! Actually shows the capabilities of this little device ! Just got a 128 11” M2 model myself for some Lightroom and photoshop work can’t wait to get going with it

[@andresoares6005]

how is working in photoshop with the ipad??

[@paulguy2545]

I am enjoying the 12.9 inch 128GB M2 immensely, coming from the 10.5 inch model from 2017 and I’m really looking forward to getting a Hub so I can finally get to use it like a Desktop with my MSI 27 inch curved display, Native Instruments Keyboard & Arturia Minifuse to replace (for a time) my 2013 Mac Pro. It shows how the iPad has come a long way since its launch in 2010 and Apple making an OS thats more dedicated to it can only make it even better!

[@Giga1023]

Nice to see another panels user, that app is awesome

[@JaghataiK]

I subscribed yesterday. My pillow has never felt cooler.

[@TonyM9]

Thank you for this review! Seriously, all the others I’ve seen are from the point of view of people who upgrade every year or two who expect every update to be a major redesign, and hate on this new one because it’s not worth it to them to update. But I think most people are like you and me. I’m still on an Air 2. To me this is a major redesign. I don’t update often, and I’ll keep it a very long time so the extra year of iOS support is worth it, and the longer life of the more powerful chip, even if it’s not noticeable now, will be in six years or so. And I’ll still be using this in six years, that I know.

[@chi-towncalifornia5916]

Just got an M2 iPad Pro 11; last iPad was a first gen Mini. The sticker shock was a big OUCH, but I plan on keeping this device for at least 5 years, so the improvements in battery life, face ID, ProMotion, and slight bump in processing were worth the extra 50-100 dollars over the 256 GB Air 5. You’re better getting a little extra up front if you can afford it, so you won’t upgrade sooner than you need to, than to save 100 dollars, but get the itch to upgrade sooner.

[@techhubwiltsuk]

Awesome review dude. I’m going from iPad Pro and gen to 6th and can’t wait

[@jayfalzarano8046]

Great review and I love that sick red retro keyboard mate!

[@catlady4110]

I absolutely love it! I don’t get people complaining about it so much!

[@juliusjacksoniv]

Love this take - coming from an iPad Air 4 and I couldn’t find a review that didn’t just compare it to last year’s. Super helpful.

[@Memoriesofsab]

Thank you for showcasing the 11inch! It has been difficult to find a good review for the 11😊

[@MinimalisTech]

I love the 11! I don’t think I could ever go 12.9. The perfect one for me would be a Pro Mini iPad tho! I can only wish

[@RinseKid]

Manes threatened the cool side of my pillow... of course I hit the like button.

[@UJB123]

Man, they were doing “reviews” and whining and they didn’t even have one to test out yet. Honestly, I don’t think they knew how to do a review. Tell me (a new purchaser) about the product and it’s features, I don’t care about what you want in a product review. Thanks for your review. A real review. I received mine on launch day.

[@Pot8oes]

One of the most interesting and honest reviews

Great video .. I do use similar shots/setup for my videos and get my partner/daughter to shoot those really good angles with me and the iPad 😄

[@WhatItDoBooThang]

Is Wifi 6E a free feature?

[@Jimmyfly215]

I have the 12.9 M1. No way would i consider an upgrade, but man im really waiting on 16.2 version os iPadOS to hi the public. The external monitor support, finally, gives a little friendlier experience with stage manager

[@MinimalisTech]

Honestly. It’s so freaking good. Works like a charm I was actually excited about an iPad for the first time in a long time. Also - the new free form planning app is huge for me in YT planning love it.

[@kwakito]

​@@MinimalisTech hi, so the Pro 11 M2 2022 supports external but not the iPad Pro 2021?

[@racalot2003]

This is exactly what I was looking for the intro describes me perfectly

[@Redwoodxxs]

All the hatred for the m2 is honestly not at all deserved. The m2 chip packs huge power compared to m1. And while apple pencil hover is the only real feature, for people upgrading from older ipads (im upgrading from an ipad 5) its really good If you already have an m1 or A-14,15. Its not worth upgrading. But for older models (A-11 bellow) its definitely worth it

The iPad Pro with gps is in demand for aviation utilizing ForeFlight or Iflygps for navigation features. The iPad Pro with cellular connection ability is the only one which had built-in GPS which the aviation industry tends to prefer. FYI

I just "upgraded" from my old iPad 2, which I'd stopped using for a while due to how slow it became. Excited to try out the new 11" Pro when it gets here

I had watched a lot of reviews which ended up dissing the device but I was coming from a first gen, 2015 model and I couldn't be happier! Not all of us upgrade every season, or even couple of seasons.

Yeahhh the screen on the 12.9 model is nuts. Wish they put XDR on the 11”. I’m sure that’d come with a big price tag too though

[@TheThaiLife]

DaVinci isn't going to be a full-blown version sadly. I have this iPad too and it is very cool for traveling and entertainment. I have days where I try to use this for my remote job as a production machine. Without my work browser plugins, skippy selection for copy and paste, even in safari in scrolling down long results pages things are appearing a second or two after scrolling should reveal them, it's just not a good production machine. Last night I was playing CODM with external monitor playing a KZbin video and that worked great. I realized, this is a really neat toy and backup device in case I don't have my laptop. But it's slow as a primary. The anker products you are showing are cool, would have been cooler if the design would somehow fit with the keyboard.

[@TytonFN]

You are the first person I've ever seen have an external track pad on their setup.

[@ileanacastro96]

[@ileanacastro96]

This explains why Im trying to get iOS 18.1

[@marcoseliasmep]

Without a proper operating system this looks like a toy for me... What a wasted potential :( We cannot run all Mac apps like Premiere Pro, Final Cut, Unity and Unreal editors... The iPad with M1/M2 could very easily replace a complete computer. They don't do it to not kill MacBook sales :( So it is artificially limited. For many years we didn't have proper file management on the iPad OS. It is bizarre how such a big company create something like this. Huge potential, very limited usability. They want the iPad to be a companion to their other products, it is great but not so great to not be able to replace them.

[@dank_c.152]

Ive never in my life even thought about getting an ipad i never had any use for them until just this last year when i started making tattoo designs by hand just a few days ago i got an ipad m2 11 inch and man its nice i love it. For someone who never had an ipad im very impressed.

Thank you - this is the review I’ve been looking for. I haven’t had an iPad since the original iPad Air, and so many reviews rag on this tablet for being not hugely different from the previous pro which is not useful to me as someone who doesn’t already have a fairly recent iPad model (not to mention that comparing it to the previous pro isn’t useful because I can’t buy that anymore!). Thank you for showing what this machine can do in its own right. It’s probably a bit OP for my uses given I’m not using it as a laptop replacement, but it seems like a solid future-proof investment with some really great features

[@KhaliDALKhafaji]

What is the size of ipad u show please

[@ziich1]

I am glad you enjoy your new purchase. The main thing I took from the earlier reviews was that the difference between the m1 and M2 was incremental. So why buy an M2 ipad when you can get an M1 ipad for cheaper and it still does 99% of what the M2 does? The M1 is overpowered as well. And davinci resolve will also come to that iPad. Personally, unless you believe you are going to make use of the hover feature, you could replace your M2 ipad with an M1 and not even know the difference. That does not mean the M2 ipad is bad.

[@ferrysandria2660]

Which better Ipad air 5 or pro refurbished 2020 .?

[@Galactusz007]

You are obviously not a painter, because the number one reason to get the M2 is the new hover function on the iPencil. Game changer right there. No need to go back and forth through the menu options. You control the iPencil like a real live brush on canvass. If you are not an artist, them skip this iPad and get a 2018 instead. But for serious artists, the M2 is a must have.

the problem is in many European countries the ipad pros or apple products in general got a lot more expensive. here in Germany they were 300€ more expensive compared to the 2021 pro model. the new models start here at 1050€ and go up to 2830€ for the maxed out bigger one. thats just too much for what little changed. so would def recommend everyone to look into 2021 pro model deals. they are not much slower and dont really miss any features except for one.

I have the 2015 IPAD PRO 12.9, 32 GB. It still performs flawlessly, has the original battery, and updates to the most current IOS. I use it for media consumption,. I also have the 2020 IPAD Air, with the Magic Keyboard. I thought about upgrading to the current 12.9. My problem. The magic keyboard is awesome. It would cost me $ 350 for the 12.9 keyboard plus the cost of the IPAD. I could trade in my Air, but wouldn’t get anything extra for the keyboard. I couldn’t envision going to the 12.9 without the keyboard. I’ll probably put the money towards a newerMacBook air.

As an hobby artist for me the 11" is perfect and i do need a lot of storage because a half year ago i have a 1tb ssd from samsung which cost me the same as to upgrade to 256 and with tb4 it's no problem (speed wise). I also nearly use completely without any pc or laptop, because it's so powerful. Only bummer it's getting very hot after long drawing session's.
