After 3 days with the new 2024 M4 iPad Pro 11 inch was it a mistake to upgrade? In this video we review the 2024 11 inch iPad Pro and find out if upgrading was worth it. Is the 2024 iPad Pro a worthwhile upgrade? Is the 2024 11 inch iPad Pro too small? Should I get the 11 inch iPad Pro or the 13 inch iPad Pro?

I agree. But yes in order to use to get better use of all this power they need to give us a complete os overhaul or give us a feature like samsung dex. That would be clutch. I also wish for a better aspect ratio. 4:3 is meh. I am happy for final oled and the camera is the correct position. 🐬 great video. I am debating on selling my tabs9ultra to get the m4 ipad pro 13.

After my GCSEs I’m looking to buy an iPad Pro, and I’m not sure between getting the 13 inch or 11 inch, if I were to get the 11 inch I was wondering if it is worth also getting a monitor so I could use an external keyboard and mouse with the monitor and iPad while at home at my desk, but then I could just use the iPad when I’m at school for example. What do you think? Is there any point also getting a monitor, and should I go 11 inch or 13 inch?

Bought the 11 inch 512 gig and keyboard. Coming from the original iPad Pro this was a great upgrade. Really like the minimalist tech.

I may play a game if one ever interests me but that’s about it. Great device.

I like your video. I am going to upgrade my older iPad Pro. I was wondering if you are going to check out some 3rd party keyboards. I have heard good things about the Logitech combo. Also, I know Paperlike sponsored your video but have you looked into Paper Rock Pencil 2. I am debating which screen protector to get and have heard good things about that product as well. I am really disappointed to hear that the battery life is below par. I look forward to hearing any updates on that. Thanks again for your review.

@randomness3362 Ай бұрын

I had the Logitech combo for the 11inch it is really great, however for the case part the rubber around the volume and speakers started to stretch and lift away which then caused it to tear after about a year or two of casual use also as a note paper like has the ability to run your Apple Pencil’s tips down

🐬 I’m considering getting a magnetic screen protector on a standard screen iPad M4 for my Apple Pencil Pro. I saw the matte screen at the Apple Store and while it did a good job reducing glare, I felt like the colors were muted and less sharp. I wanted to take advantage of the double OLED. I want to be able to enjoy media content on my iPad and then put the screen protector back on for drawing/animation content.

The pencil is arguably the best upgrade thus far this year.

@infotainment6830 Ай бұрын

There are downsides to the paper like screen protector. Wears down the tips on the Apple pencils more quickly, the matte screen protectors are less reflective but I watched a video comparing it to the nano texture and the nano texture is HELLA less reflective. The nano texture is far superior, but then again you probably want a screen protector on your iPad unless you’re trynna hit it raw with the Apple Pencil.

@kinkiyayoutubization Ай бұрын

Appreciate your review. I hope more honest reviews will come soon even under the maker's pressure. To share more, the "top level" OLED on this iPad still uses low frequency PWM (480Hz) even many other phone makers widely use over 1000Hz or 3000Hz. iFixit's latest tear down implies that M4 iPad originally might have 12GB RAM. So does it mean that, Apple just want maximize their profit and ignore real user experiences?

@precisi0n86 Ай бұрын

🐬 I appreciate your video and content a lot. Thanks for sharing. To me, the iPad 11 is the more impressive machine because it fits all what the 13 has into a smaller form factor, most importantly including a slightly better battery. A lot of people prefer the 13 because of the bigger screen, making it very similar to a MacBook Air in terms of size and weight despite not being quite there in terms of being a laptop replacement… whereas the 11 is an excellent tablet and offers something no MacBook does, better portability.

macOS is a HORRIBLE idea for iPads, so sick of this generic saying by generally people that don’t even use iPads regularly. I agree iPadOS needs a BIG update to its files system and using external monitors and SSDs. I want to see more professional apps, one way i could see it meeting more needs is a type of translation software that interprets MacOS programs to iPadOS possibly. Similar to how Rosetta translates Intel programs for MacOS.

@infotainment6830 Ай бұрын

Legit. All we wanted was Final Cut, Logic Pro, downloads, hooking up external displays accurately, a good multitasking setup for workflow, we’ve had photoshop for years, you already got a full professional production studio all in a small tablet. People always are wanting what’s “better” yet they can’t be grateful for what we already have. They are stuck in 2012 with their poor experiences with the original iPads. I’ve imagined Mac OS for iPad and it would be annoying, tricky to use and make zero difference. Just keep improving iPad OS, my only complaint is I couldn’t download the metaverse workplace app virbella for my job on an iPad but now they moved it to the web which I think means I can now use an iPad for everything besides niche music production things that require the extra RAM

@infotainment6830 Ай бұрын

@ghost-user559 Ай бұрын

If you actually use MacOS, you would know why. You can download many hundreds or thousands of more apps that have MacOS versions, you can find open source non subscription versions of software that you would have to pay to use on iPads, and you can literally download whatever you want whenever you want. iPad is a waste of processing power for 99% of people. And Samsung Dex is what people want, when you dock an iPad it should become MacOS, simple. That way iPadOS is still what you get when you use it mobile, and then people who want to use it at home to replace a laptop finally can.

@will-zj5gq Ай бұрын

@@ghost-user559there is no way that would ever happen unless they charged 5k for it. that would just eliminate at least half of the need for the macbook completely. very few companies would kill off their own product, apple would be the last of them all to ever do that. That being said, nothing you said was wrong at all, and would make sense from the consumer perspective.

@ghost-user559 Ай бұрын

@@will-zj5gq I think they are actually about to do it, as in potentially this next update or at least this year. They are already hinting at it with these new Pros, and I think that is their strategy. Does it matter to them if you buy a 2k$ iPad Pro or a 2k$ MacBook Pro? Nope. They make exactly the same amount. So what they will likely do is only allow “Pro” models to use the MacOS port features, and Air and below will still have iPadOS only. That’s what they do with most of their “flagship” features, they lock it behind the paywall of the most expensive models.

OLED has NOT had superior picture quality. Only recently have a few reference monitor manufacturers managed to produce an OLED reference monitor that has accurate colour. BUT, these monitors are 3 to 4 times more expensive than the most accurate reference monitor on the market from EZIO. All “Pro” iPhones have terrible colour. Deep blacks make good contrast but the colour reproduction has usually been awful with OLED
