New M4 iPad Pro 11" ➡ geni.us/kCr1M New M4 iPad Pro 13" ➡ geni.us/Wuj9Dd New M2 iPad Air 11" ➡ geni.us/k1qcK New M2 iPad Air 13" ➡ geni.us/Na9y iPad 10 ➡ geni.us/Wcko iPad mini 6 ➡ geni.us/Nr7xu

I went from a 12.9" M1 to the 11" M4 and I am happy that I did. I normally use the iPad primarily for drawing/art and the smaller form factor is just easier to hold and move around. For me, the larger one is just too awkward to maneuver around comfortably.

We need more real-life usage scenario comparisons instead of just specs; how they fit into bags (including small women bags and such), one-handed usage, lying in bed, desk space occupation, etc.

I just received my 11" Pro and it's fantastic!! Perfect size for everyday use. For heavy lifting, I fall back on my MBP.

I went with the 11 M4 cellular with the 256 gb of storage. Extremely happy I chose this one!

Great video! I had the 12.9" M2 and it always felt heavy and uncomfortable to hold, it would be awkward to have it beside my keyboard and mouse to take handwritten notes etc. I've tried to use the iPad Pro as my primary computer but the experience was extremely frustrating, so now I just want an iPad to be an iPad. I wanna walk around holding it in one hand to watch videos, take notes, read articles etc, and I think the 11" M4 will be a better buy. I just bought a 15 inch MacBook Air to be my primary device and I want the iPad to just be this super portable, fun device to use.

Get the 11" since it is the more portable table. My last tablet was the 12.9" M1 iPad because of the mini LED screen. However since now both sizes of iPad have the same screen. I got the 11" inch was what I wanted in the first place.

M4 11 after having 12.9 M2. Glad I Made the Switch.

I bought the 11-inch 1T version. Although it is very expensive, it is my first iPad and it should last a long time.

I upgraded from 11" to the 13" iPad Pro and glad I did. The larger screen and light weight is worth the upgrade.

Got the 11” M4 Pro 512Gb , really happy with it . Sound not an issue as if I want loud I usually either use Bluetooth speaker or through AirPods

11 is the way for portability. I have 27 inch monitor that I connect my iPad to it when I want a bigger screen! Then I have a hub to connect keyboard and mouse! I use Apple Pencil most of the time so I don’t need the Magic Keyboard.

Thank you for pointing out that there is very little difference in real screen estate for watching videos between 11 and 13. Interesting battery is also a bit better on 11. For my use I will stick with the 11!

I have an iPad Pro 12.9 A12Z inch that I gave to my eldest son. I bought myself an 11 inch iPad Pro M4. In my case the 11 inch is much more comfortable to carry around. I am not editing or drawing anymore so the big screen wouldn’t benefit me. Right now I care more about moving around the house, throwing it in my backpack or watching something at night while my kids sleep and the big display doesn’t disturb them. The big screen just isn’t comfortable enough for me while lying down. P.S In Japan the price difference between the 11 inch and the 13 feels more like $500 not $300.

I bought the 11inch and love it. Plan on using Lightroom and Resolve 🎉 . Bought the Magic Keyboard for the first time and was surprised how much I liked it. No regrets!❤❤❤❤❤

As someone who uses the 16" M1 Macbook Pro everywhere, I'm considering getting an iPad for a more portable/travel device. I made up my mind on the 13" a while ago, but I'm reconsidering the 11" as everyone says it's the sweet spot. I'm the type of person that would use a 16" laptop on a plane, so the larger size doesn't matter too much to me. Can't see me holding it one handed for all that long, mainly using it on the couch, maybe in bed. I'll be editing photos, watching videos, internet browsing, creating YT thumbnails and likely only editing videos when travelling (which isn't too often). I could also use the iPad as a secondary screen/reference monitor of my Macbook Pro, but I have a portable USB-C monitor already and I never use it, so unsure if I would connect the iPad much.

I got the 11” m4 512GB and am happy with it so far. I had the 12.9 2017 pro I thought that the smaller keyboard would drive me nuts but I really wanted a smaller form factor for bringing to meetings at work for notes etc.

It would be nice to see a comparison between the 2018 and 2024 iPad Pro.

I now have the 11 inch Tab S9 and the iPad Pro 13 inch, so I’m trying to decide which to sell and which to keep. The Tab S9 is winning in my pros and cons list so far. The fact it came with the S Pen immediately gave it a leg up.

11 inch with no keyboard 👍 Do your typing on a laptop, it’s definitely a MUCH better, quicker and more efficient typing solution.

Awesome video as always. But you got the weight reduction information from M2 to M4 iPad Pro completely wrong: iPad Pro 11” M2 = 466g iPad Pro 11” M4 = 444g Weight reduction = 22g or 4.7%. Not “11% Lighter” like you said. iPad Pro 12.9” M2 = 682g iPad Pro 13” M4 = 579g Weight reduction = 103g or 15.1%. Not “25% Lighter” like you said.

I used the 12.9 all the time on a plane. It fits fine.

I went from a 13” iPad that stayed at home always to an 11” M1 and the smaller size fits in all my Nike cross body bags which the 13” could never do. So being smaller I end up taking it far more places than I ever considered taking the 13”. You can’t use something that isn’t along the ride with you.

Dude check your text more, on the first seconds top of the screen says 11" M2 vs M4 iPad Pro

I can connect the ipad to external monitor and keyboard if I am staying in the office. It looks like 11" is good enough

Thanks for this. Exactly what I was looking for. Getting the 13” as it will be my primary computing device. This answered all my questions!

I have a MacBook Pro 16" for home use, the iPad 11" is perfect for traveling, reading, etc. (I prefer now the nano-texture). Indeed every person has different needs and preferences. Word of advice: use both. The experience is not substituted for a cerebral analysis.

For a primary device I’d say go 12.9”/13”, if it’s a secondary device go 11”. I have my 14” MacBook Pro M1 Pro so the 11” is a great secondary to that.

Thats really interesting that because of the aspect ratio, the bigger screen doesn’t make a big difference for watching movies.

Thanks for the video. I went for the 11 inch more for the price. Plus I am upgrading from the first generation iPad Pro 9.7 inch therefore benefiting from a bigger screen anyway.

As someone who’s blind I upgraded to the 13 in from m212.9 for the display and one never been happier this thing is light and perfect size for my eyes

Summary 11 - if you need high performance tab 13 - if you want to replace laptop

3:18 In the camera I can’t see any difference. LOL 😂

Ive been using M1 12.9 as my main device for 2 years and feel tired of holding it 8-10 hours daily so going back to 11" with the M4

updated my iPad 13 m4 to iOS 17.1 . After that the sound from the external speakers became weaker than usual. Now I have to set the volume to maximum to listen to be able to listen.

Having a 14’ MacBook Pro M1, the 11” is perfect for me for everyday use. Love the combo iPad Pro 11” and its new Magic Keyboard. Great for travel, as I prefer not to take the MacBook while going places.

I decided on the 11 inch pro I couldn’t stomach the price of the 13 inch pro🤪

It's funny that nobody have mentioned this, but my first observation was that finally Apple managed to make the background of the camera area same color as rest of the frame. Now it also comes in aluminium color and not just black. Nothing to do with the iPad performance, but I found the black as a rare design decision (flaw). Can't wait to get my iPad Pro M4 13" in silver 😃

Great review and covered all the key points for an informed decision….also good summary for both sizes. Thank you

got the 11 inch one, as he said, not my main rig but more on the go device.

I’m so freaking happy with my 11 inch iPad Pro M4 😃

I'm getting the 13" to accompany my 14" MBP. The bigger screen real estate for sheet music and procreate is ideal for my use case. I'll be taking the iPad to work to replace my work laptop, and my MBP will be at home for all my heavy lifting/light gaming. Yes I could revert back to Mac Studio, but the portability option is great, and currently iOS doesn't support Windows Parallels. Great comparisons, it's great to be reassured.

Although the 13" is lighter and I can appreciate that bigger screen, it is still heavier than my previous M2 11" w/ Magic Keyboard and that was heavier than I liked to lug around. The 11" is the perfect compliment to my MacBook Air.

Call this old fashioned thinking, but the 11 inch is more impressive because apple fits all that hardware and more battery into a smaller form factor. It really can't be any smaller than 11 inch but it can be infinitely bigger. So 11 inch is the superior machine. This was the common sense thinking for 12 inch ibook over 14 inch back in the day, but it was more intuitive to think this way in the past because tech was always trying to get smaller not bigger.

I got the 11 inch iPad Pro M4

11" iPP is the way to go for travel and in-hand use. Absolutely. I would only recommend the 13" iPP if you are going to use it mostly with a MKB.

Bro why did you continue playing the background music during the speaker comparison 😫😫😫😫😫

I use it as my main computer, so I got the 13 inch and its amazing compared to the 2021 model

I prefer the smaller 11 inch size iPads. Thanks for this comparison.

Grat video but it’s not an easy pick even after watching this video. The problem is the speaker quality on 11” which sounds a lot worse than 13” and that’s a major deal for me. More consistent performance on 13” is a big deal for me too. But at the same time I have no need for such a huge display. Sometimes I would place it on the table to watch videos at home, sometimes I would watch movies at the airplane, sometimes at the bed holding in my hands. Often I would play demanding games stationary and in handheld mode. So how do I pick the right one for me?

One thing you left out is that a lot of professionals are using these to read paper documents in portrait mode. Why is the 13-inch so perfect? It's the same size as the 8.5x11 piece of paper many office workers used for decades.

I would like the comparison between 11 vs 13 to read advanced mathematics books, Topology, Algebraic Geometry. Which of the two offers the best experience? Thanks in advance.

go for the 11

Max tech makes good suggestions. I own a 13 now but have owned 11 and 12.9 sizes. There are benefits and trade offs to either size. For example the 11 is lighter, more portable and easier to handle one-handed. The 13 affords a greater viewing area, more work space and a more comfortable keyboard. In addition in everyday 13 use you’ll likely spend less time scrolling compared to the 11 inch size. Unlike desktops iPads offer the luxury of being used seated on a chair a couch or a desk. The down side is the high cost of Apple ownership. Apple up charges are more burdensome with the addition of a detachable keyboard or upgrade to 16Gb of Ram. To purchase or not is your choice but as a current 13 owner I would suggest you stick with the iPad you have. Yes new iPads are faster, lighter and brighter but the user experience is exactly the same as the iPad you own. Only now near double the price! In other words it’s much like moving up to a one year newer iPhone. You’re going to pay more but the experience is the same.

I got the 11 inch no keyboard or pen yet, main use is film watching in bed and some games, also have a pc but I think I made right choice returned a galaxy tab s9+ for it and it’s much better

I went from a 12.9 A12Z Pro to a M4 11” Pro for a smaller package. Used it for 2 days, went back to the Apple Store and switched to a M4 13” Pro. I use it for design work, never use a keyboard. M4 13” is the way to go for my use

Moving from iPad Pro 12.9” 2018 to M4 13”. Definitely noticed the new Pro M4 13” has much better, deeper, base than my previous Pro 2018.

My old iPad Air from about 12 years ago is a 9.5". That's perfect for me and I love it. I think 11" would be just fine for typing, unless you've got massive hands.

5:41 Why does the 11 look warmer? 5:50

I look forward to comparison of 13 inch M4 iPad Pro with new Surface Pro Copilot Snapdragon with OLED. I use my Surface Pro far more than my iPad Pro 2018 simply because it can do more with full Windows 11. With new Copilot and OLED maybe Surface Pro will at least pull even with iPad Pro for power along with current more functionality.

I have the 11” and do not regret it. Portability, battery life, weight. The better choice for most. If you are getting the 13” I’m in the same boat with the others, grab the MacBook Air.

Imagine a titanium iPad Pro 13”. I hope that comes!

Ill wait till WWDC to upgrade or not

I got the 13inch M4 since release date. Really love it so far 😁

Loving the brightness difference on my m4 compared to my m1. Won’t be getting rid of my m1 tho as it’s still a nice iPad

If the iPad is your main device or is being used more often the not as a second screen than the 13" is the way to go. For 95% of users who are looking at emails, watching movies, reading books etc...the 11" is the best bang for your buck. The use case scenario that you and many KZfaqrs are reviewing this for is for a very small minority of users and is really not representative of how most people will use this device. The 11" complements or is an accessory to your main system such as a Mac studio etc. Its silly to get the 13" and then your other system is just sitting not getting used, especially if its not that old and you spent a lot of money for it. I have an M1 iPad and it sits there and does not get used much. Its too big and heavy to hold for long periods of time.

11 inch suits my use cases the best Which colour Magic Keyboard is the decision

Greetings! Any suggestions on if I should get the 13” or the 11” iPad to mainly watch movies on an airplane? Was thinking of getting the 13” but I think it might be a little big when it’s on a tray table. Also just saw that there’s not much of a difference in real estate in watching a movie but I’m not sure what’s the difference. Thank you

When will you be looking at the nano textured screen?

Looking at upgrading from the 12.9” M1 to the 13” M4. Gonna go with at least 1tb this time instead of 512. Can’t believe I’ve got to get another Magic Keyboard. Mine’s 3 years old now and works fine. Hope the upgrades worth it. I’ll find out in the next couple of weeks. Also I’m getting the cellular version again so theirs no big upfront costs.

Can you make a real life comparison between M1, M2 and M4? Like restart time, start time for apps, Browser Test, KZfaq haha, Game Tests…

I have always used the 11 inch and now I got the 13 inch one to experience the large screen. Strangely it feels small too.😬 now I feel I need a 15 inch iPad Pro 😂 Some KZfaq videos take advantage of the 13 inch better than others who just increase more of the black bars and less of the video. And in the Magic Keyboard to me 11 inch is unusable. So 13 is the way to go for most adults.

Sweet vid! Are u guys gonna due a comparison between glossy vs nanotexture displays? Most likely not worth the cost bc forced to get @ least 1tb which is sad.

My 13" is on the way! Just waiting for a Magic Keyboard compatible case.

It would be interesting to compare the M1 Pro to M4 pro. I am thinking of going M1 but not sure yet. Many people would benefit from your point of view on this

Thanks Mate, this video is really helpful, i planning to buy Ipad Pro, but get confuse about which one i should buy 11" or 13", now i can make decision.

Very subtle differences. I would love to see a real-world task test comparing the first and last generation M, specifically with devices using different memory sizes, for example: comparing an iPad Pro M1 with 16gb ram VS iPad Pro M4 with 8gb ram. We need to know if Apple is really innovating significantly across a wider range of generations. Certainly an iPad Pro M1 with 16gb will be cheaper than an iPad Pro M4 8gb, but I would like to see if, even with the difference in price, it would be more worthwhile to buy an M4 considering only tasks such as rendering a 4k clip. Can you make a video with this comparison?

Should I upgrade to 11 or 13 M4 iPad Pro? Currently have the 11 iPad Pro from 2018 without cellular. Also, is the cellular edition worth it?

Hi I have a big doubt regarding which screen size should I buy the 11 or 13 I'm a photographer and cinematographer...my use for the iPad would be very broad, such as using apps to control lights in the studio, using the iPad as a monitor for the drone...as well as answering emails and drawing light maps... I've already been to the Apple store to see the 2 models in person and I still haven't decided. This decision is really difficult. What would be your opinion?

OMG. . The 13 inch screen more wide and the watching on it is more enjoyable. .oled screen fantastic on it .

11 looks weirdly warmer in this video. Is true tone enabled on 11 and not on 13?

Still using 2018 iPad Pro ……❤❤❤

I bought the new M4 11” iPad Pro Pro as an upgrade from my 2018 iPad Pro. I will say the OLED screen and snappier performance are definitely worth it.

Any iPad Air M2 testing coming?

So did he say on the new Apple pencil pro will work with the new M4 iPad Pro or am I hearing things? @3:55

Is the number row keyboard still limited to the bigger size ipad ? I do not know how Apple keeps getting away with such annoying basic missing functionalities on such an expensive devices ….

0:23 How are they 11% and 25% lighter? The 11" is about 20g lighter which is about 4% and the 13" is about 100g lighter which is about 15%.

In the dream world, the perfect combo would be an iPad mini pro and MBP. It’s a shame they won’t give the mini an M chip update.

its that true apple decrease bass speaker in M4 ipad pro 11" than previous? because i had 2020 ipad pro which is sound really nice

For drawing, reading sheet music, doing pdf markups, and music production, the 13 is better imo. For media consumption and reading or if you’re going to be holding it in your hand or if you use it to go between meetings or use it with a case, the 11 inch is better imo. TBH the air is a better option for most people unless you want or need the power. I like tech and I like the new pencil and I play the sax and draw so I went with the 13 pro 256gb. Time will tell how much I like it. I also have the 11 inch pro that I got in 2019. I’m personally not too much of a laptop believer. Your job will give you a laptop if you need it and you’ll probably need one if you’re in school. But tbh most jobs be it self employed or not, will require serious work to be done at a station. So it is better to build a desktop and use a tablet for on the go and non technical conferences imo.

I’m really digging my 13 iPad nano texture and having the screen dim at the fingertips is awesome on the keyboard

11 inch is better. 13 inch is way too big.

Which one would you recommend for note taking in collage, keep in mind that my handwrighting is not that great so...

How about 8gb and 16gb used in 3d model sculpt difference?

I switched to the 11 in 2018 but may step back up to the larger size the problem I have is the 2018 still performs well and hard to justify the upgrade but would like to do Final Cut on it and use it as a second display for my Mac

Hey Max, great video as always! But I spotted something, which kind irritates me. You show the difference in video at 1:41 and there is some kind of glowing on top black bar of the iPad Pro 11“. Which isn’t visable on the 13“ Model, is it and screenissue or some like that? Looked like the fire glowed to high, but how. Maybe someone can explain it too me. Thanks in Advance

If WWDC, M4 ipad get DEX like mode to switch to MacOS on the go, that will be game changer

I wish they made the battery life better….Everything else is great

Amazing, i go for 13"

Thanks for your insights. You have probably not thought about the difference in the user experience for someone who has much smaller hands. I have tried the largest iPad previously and the hand fatigue was a deal breaker. I ended up giving it to my daughter. I will be purchasing the M4 11 inch model this week. 😊
