YOU Should™ Buy the M4 iPad Pro, And Here's Why!

I've been rather grumpy about iPads in recent past, mainly because I've wanted them to be computer replacements. But when I look at them as a notebook/brain replacement this thing has really shocked me with how good it is.
So here's why I think its worth buying.

[@jimtipton8888]

All I’m going to say is the M4 11 is maybe the finest iPad ever. Beautiful screen, proper face time camera positioning and the snappiest chip ever! In defense of the keyboard, it’s built rock solid and like V1 has a very nice typing experience. It’s a little heavier set up than some other options, but not by any significant amount. With the 3 amigos it weighs in an about 2.25 lbs or around 1043 GR. I think the iPad fits a lot of use cases and work flows. End of the day I think it’s an iPad anyone would enjoy. Peace!

Agreed with the 5G feature. I've been using cellular iPad models since 2018 and I can't go back to using Wifi-only models anymore. Having an always on, always active data connection anywhere and everywhere is such a game changer. I no longer worry about my hotspot connection randomly disconnecting, tearing through my phone's battery life and getting bombarded by 200 notifications all at once every time I connect my iPad through tethering. I remember having anxiety taking video calls through tethering because sometimes the connection would randomly weaken causing the feed to buffer, freeze and sometimes disconnect entirely. No such issue on iPads with dedicated cellular connection. My iPad now goes pretty much everywhere with me now unlike my previous Wifi only models which spent a lot of their time in drawers, having no charge and gathering dust.

[@theknowlodge8294]

Agree entirely.

[@JJ_Magnificent]

Omg exactly, cellular 13” M4 is an absolute game changer!! It gives a different iPad experience..

I am still using my 11” M1 iPad Pro with 5G and it goes everywhere with me. I knew it would be useful but I didn’t realize just how useful. Never going back to WiFi only. Now if only we can get 5G on MacBooks! 🎉

[@peraman2022]

This has been my rule in buying Ipads since I had the Ipad air 2. If something were to happen with my smartphone etc. lost , damaged. I still want cellular service on the go. Not having to worry about where you're at brings such freedom to be totally productive.

[@X5493-c7p]

The number of people that have said ‘I don’t need cellular’ either don’t want to pay the additional upfront cost and/or the monthly data plan fee, but for me it’s worth the time saved with not having to re-establish a tethered connection or a flaky hotspot. Couldn’t possibly go back to a non cellular iPad now if only Apple would bring cellular to their MacBooks

[@RandyVazquez]

You most likely don’t remember me, but YEARS ago, I told you that your Sony A6400 review was single-handedly the reason why I bought it (and still use to this day). 6 years later-ish, I think I can say that again for this video 😅 when I need to hear something, you have a way of articulating it to me in a way that makes it applicable for my use case. Thank you (again) 🙏🏼

[@Mnour94]

I think people going too hard on Apple, offering such a wonderful upgrade regarding the chip and the screen for almost the same price (because they upgraded the baseline storage) is a very welcome upgrade, if you think you can do the same with your M1 or M2 iPads thats because you are not supposed to upgrade every 2-3 years, those who should upgrade are owners of iPad pro 2018 or older, you will feel very satisfied when you upgrade every 5-6 years (the cycle at which Apple makes big changes in their devices) and yes i know the software is still incapable but that’s not Apple’s fault, iPads are not meant to run desktop OS but the App developers are way too lazy to upgrade their iOS apps with more features that put them on par with their desktop versions, i think Apple reached the peak in iPad OS and the upgrades to come will be minor and mostly for customization rather than functionality, Apps are what needs more functionality and if games developers are pushing desktop-grade games to iPad OS that means other software developers need to push desktop-grade apps to iPad OS.

I use my M2 iPad all over the place, but there is not a single killer app that runs on the M4 that I could not use on the M2. For a squeezing pen, I would have to pony up 1500 dollars, let’s have some common sense here.

I was thinking of getting a new iPad - after checking a lot I came to the fact that the ne AIR M2 with pencil pro will be PERFECT and 300$ cheaper than the M4 pro (both 11") I will wait if there a 11th gen with M1 will come, that would probably again 200$ cheaper. I dont need the POWER of an M4 or more than 256GB Storage or a better screen ... I put a matt very very thin screen protector on it anyway :-) a NON paperlike. That is also not need in my opinion.

I’ve had two M1 iPad Pros for years, fantastic devices. You’re getting more storage, a much better screen, a faster processor, a better camera location, a lighter/slimmer device (which moreso matters with the case on), and other features. It comes down to what those features are worth to you. If I were to buy my younger kids iPads, I would get iPad Pro M1 or M2 if I could save enough. In fact, I did just that. They last forever and perform well in games plus FaceID. For a professional, college student, or just a power user or someone with expendable income - I would go M4.

This trend of holding the sm7b needs to stop. lol.

[@Elshonio]

I had a 3rd gen iPad Air that was on its way out so updated to the 13” iPad Pro base level so 256 Gig. I’ve done so because as a guitarist I can get all of my music in the pad, and since the eyes are not what they used to be, the extra screen size makes it worth while with the additional brightness and clarity really being useful. The pencil allows me to change scores on the fly so it’s totally changing how I can operate. I travel a huge amount so having something that can breeze through other bits of entertainment is a major plus. Yes, it’s been expensive, but if I can maximise the use experience and continue to expand the ways I use it, then it’s been worthwhile. If no one needs the extra screen size, then I’d suggest the 11”, but having most of my magazines digital means the extra screen suits everything

[@a.g.8871]

So you are telling me that THE reason tu buy a 2K (or more) iPad is to replace a notebook to WRITE DOWN notes? I stopped writing down notes over 10years ago during university, but I just TYPE them down because its so much faster. Don't tell me you're still writing down notes in 2024? The first point was "it doesn't replace a computer"....so it's still just an overpowered tablet. So where is the point for a recommendation there? 2K to replace a 2€ notebook because I want to write notes?

[@lbgstzockt8493]

Writing stuff by hand is proven to be better for remembering that just typing it. Depending on your field of study typing may also be very cumbersome, unless you are really good at LaTeX, and annotating slides or diagrams can be really helpful. For me personally it was a game-changer to switch to an iPad, but if paper works for you then saving at least several hundred dollars is probably the right move. And then there the convenience and security, I don't have to worry about my papers getting kinks, losing or forgetting any material, printing out stuff, needing a second device to do research or carrying around books and binders full of paper.

[@Kivancli79]

@@lbgstzockt8493 Agree, with your explanation. Writing is far more effective than typing. However, paying 2K or more for an iPad is going to be hard a swallow for most people, especially young students. Also, its strange that the contecnt creator returned his 13 inch iPad Pro for an 11 inch, while the 13 inch would have given him more real estate to write on ... and more space for multi-tasking.

I love and greatly appreciate your analysis videos Gary. You share your anecdotes, overarching facts, and the ultimate verdict. There are several great points you make in advocating for the m4 iPad Pro, but as you said in a different video of yours last week or week before (I think it was best accessories for your iPad in 2024?) you said how the regular 11’ iPad does so much of the same functions with very similar functionality and seamlessness as the iPad pros and air models. For me as an elementary/middle school sped teacher and (in my free time cartoonist), there are amazing educational, note taking (I.e GoodNotes and notability), and the drawing apps (procreate & clip studio paint), work SO FREAKING WELL! I do use my iPad for sped lessons, note taking, and drawing; but I don’t need to upgrade. My 2018 11’ iPad Pro received all these updates (including stage manager), and overall, still runs very well. If I were to upgrade and continue using iPad as tablet and laptop replacement; it would be the “budget” 10.9/11’ iPad. Why pay more for essentially the same Apple tablet when the software is 90% the exact same. This m4 iPad Pro doesn’t have some hybrid mix of iPad os and Mac OS and can’t truly/fully utilize the hugely powerful m4 chip. Feels like an overspendhre waste. Great great review as always dude!

But I'd pay another $130 for an Apple Pencil Pro to use with my M1 iPad Pro.

You should stop with this nonsense.

I'm not a regular viewer of this channel. Is he usually this hyperbolic? Seems like most of the reasons listed in favor are not M4 iPad specific...just iPad things that have been around for a long time. Kind of hard to believe that the "squeeze to erase" feature (although a nice change) of the new pencil is one of the most compelling reasons why a techie person would finally switch to taking notes on an iPad, and justify a $1130+ purchase, when even my old iPad Pro and Pencil 2 from 2018 could do these things.

The “only” vailed reason from this video is the squeeze feature on the pencil and even that is not good, im quite a fan of two finger tab on Notability

Even if you want the new Apple Pencil Pro, the Air would suffice. You’d be paying a premium for AI upside (and yes a gorgeous display) with the IPad Pro.

I don't want to crash the circle jerk, but display gave me eyestrain. And no it's not OLED. I have 4 other OLED devices which give me no problems. My M2 mini LED is like a vacation for my eyes.

This video was a miss for me. I watch almost everything you put out but I can do everything you’ve outlined with my M1 Air w/ Pencil 2 both of which I got on sale.

I get a new iPad Pro every year. I use mine for everything. Including teaching school People think I am crazy but As much as I use it just got the M4 iPad Pro 256. 13”. Tried the M2 11” Didn’t care for it My only concern is how thin it is. My only gripe is having to buy another Magic Keyboard and pencil pro

Good info..cannot believe guy was happy to lose 2 inches 😮...did I hear you say "I don't know know about ....yoouualll".. what state are you from?😅..you need to buy a MIC stand......

[@rikmeistr46]

$3000…no thanks! Currently have the iPad Pro m2 13 inch optioned out. That was over 2k. Don’t see this M4 cost worth upgrading.

[@jeremsgarage]

8:06 I use my MX Keys Mini the same way. When I got rid of my Magic Keyboard for my personal iPad it was great. I didn’t realize how much I missed my tablet as a tablet.

Don’t buy the 11 inch suck

[@MidnightHozz]

Can't believe you didn't mention the screen in the opening monologue. That is the only reason I bought it. The M2 is overkill in a tablet, the M4 is...I don't know what.

[@georgemcwilliams4466]

It’s a 500 dollar tablet priced at 2000. Buy a ordinary tablet and give the other 1,500 to your favorite charity.

Hey @TheEverydayDad as a non ipad user I ask, isn't the noteability app not made by apple and thier website shows the features that apple mentioned in WWDC like transcribing, changing handwriting to text etc, is this a utilisation of apple intelligence or do they have thier own ai
