M4 iPad Pro review - too ambitious?
Рет қаралды 133,192
26 күн бұрынThe new 2024 M4 iPad Pro 13” and 11” are astounding pieces of technology. They incorporate the best OLED display tech I’ve ever seen along with the bleeding edge of powerful, efficient processor silicon and cram it all into an “impossibly thin” chassis. This new slimness makes these devices a joy to use and handle, especially with the redesigned Magic Keyboard! In this video I give my initial review after using the 13” model for a few days. I discuss the new thin design, insane display quality, incredible performance with the M4 along with briefly touch on the keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro (both of which I’ll cover in dedicated review videos). Equally important though - I highlight the fact that these new iPad Pros may be “too ambitious” for what they currently run, iPadOS 17. All we can do is hope that at WWDC ’24, iPad Pro is finally graced with an operating system it deserves!

I don't really think so. 2 reasons: we've thought this before when they added the M1 chips and nothing really materialised, unless we count stage Manager, which came out over a year later. Secondly, I think Apple are pivoting hard to ensure they keep up with AI developments, and I the M4 is designed with AI in mind (?)

@@techinrl9869 Yep.. very true. Ipad pros even the 2018 A12x chip is already powerful and smooth for day to day stuff. Now if your gaming or editing on an 2018 iPad Pro now in 2024 where these apps are getting updated. You'll notice a difference.. Like gaming for example on Cod Mobile or something similar where its high graphics. The a12x Chip on the 2018 would lag and or freeze the game. Same thing with other high intensive programs. But for basic tasks, texting, emailing, web surfing, watching videos, music, spreadsheets, to do lists, pdfs and all that. the 2018 is still more than enough powerful and smooth for that. And same with MacBook Air M1. STILL a beast to this day.

I agree they might not have to make an macOS copy but the IPad OS should have a PRO version when connected to keyboard and mouse that transforms the iPad into a more MacOS like experience

Perhaps they could add MacOS when connected to a keyboard and mouse or track pad, a monitor and power. The issue with MacOS and an iPad would likely be power usage and battery drainage.

@@delanodouglas6390 the macOS and iPadOS ATM share a huge chunk of their core and are optimized the same way, that’s why you get great battery life out of a MBA. They differ mainly in terms of UI, Rosetta 2 and how apps present themselves to the user. I bet if they compiled a macOS but with the iPadOS UI, it would run as you wanted it to. It’s not a question of if, but why doesn’t Apple do that. They will eventually do that, but not until sales go down quite a bit. This iPad will sell better because of the screen and powerful M4, maybe when the next version is out they’ll do that but without the Rosetta 2.

Oled display is good, but since iPad display even with ips lcd was so good, most of the people cannot tell the difference unless placing them side by side. I save your money mate.

I’m fine with it being too ambitious. Reminds of of old school Apple pushing the envelope with bleeding edge just for the sake of it, even if most people won’t utilize or understand it. If this can somehow lead to iPhones getting thinner and lighter again while retaining their rigidity and battery life I’m all for it.

Hey Noah, with the new ludicrous M4 upgrade, does it support output of 120hz to external monitors though? 4k 120hz to be exact. A bit dizzying and jarring for me to let my eyes keep changing from the 120hz ipad to a huge external 60hz monitor.

Hey ! Considering the gain in weight and thinness , woud you recommand this 13 inch model for a usage without the magic keyboard ? Like holding it in one hand in a classroom or cofeeshop with the pencil in the other hand and taking notes . I find the 11 inch screen too cramped for serious note taking and pdf annotation .. also is there an option in actual ipadOS to split the virtual keyboard in two in portrait mode ? Thanks for the videos , keep going !

I’m kind of conspiratorial, my thought is they release the iPads a month and a half before WWDC, just outside of the return windows, . That so they can judge the sales numbers to decide if they need to release the most advanced iPadOS features to bump up sales, ie more MacBook like. Then if the sales numbers hit where they needed, they can shave off a few features for the next release to pump sales then.

As a 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 inch user, this M4 iPad Pro has me excited like I was back in 2018, but Apple must deliver on the software side. If they don’t, I will just keep using my current iPad since it would be useless for me to upgrade if barely any software updates make its way to the new iPad Pro. Like many, I’m hopeful, yet doubtful as well, because Apple has neglected the iPad.

This video looks awesome on my m1 mini-LED iPad Pro which I’ll be happily keeping for at least an extra year. Actually had it replaced recently due to 2 busted microphones so it’s basically still like new. Have the pencil, hardly use it. NEVER purchased the keyboard because the virtual keyboard is more than enough. If I was able to write a 10 page college paper using the virtual keyboard, and the physical keyboard won’t even help me with Japanese, then there is no point to ever purchase one at this point for my personal usage. That being said, it’s time for hybridOS (equal elements of iOS, MacOS, VisionOS) to finally hit the iPad. iPadOS is just 90% iOS and needs to go. An actual radical change of the OS is much needed, and slapping macOS won’t help it much IMO.
