This is my first ipad and im loving it. Zero hiccups editing anything i throw at it its amazing.

Great review! My battery life has been horrible as well, just 4-6 hours of web browsing/drawing on my M4 11” pro.

The problem with reducing the bezels is that then the camera would have to be in a notch and considering where the camera is now, that would be incredibly distracting when the iPad is being used in portrait mode. I’d prefer the bezels over a notch.

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 got rid of my windows laptop a while ago and haven’t looked back. I’m not a power user by any means. I like to write some and watch vids. I may play a game if one ever interests me but that’s about it. Great device.

🐬 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.

🐬Dude . . . Great unbiased video. I really like your honest approach and you have great presence. Wishing you and the channel the very best!

🐬 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.

Hi Rjey, subscribed. Great review. I upgraded and got the M4 11 and MKB. Having been an iPad enthusiast since the original, this is the best iteration so far. It’s been a great addition to my Apple family. Cheers and keep up the great work!

I agree wish the borders was lil thinner

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.

I find it funny that the Apple people are finally admitting that min-led isn't better than OLED

[Goalier]

Completely agree - my 2022 iPad Pro 11" is downright heavy and uncomfortable compared to the M4 11" Pro. Also, the new one doesn't get as warm as the M2 version.

[davidgator]

Can you please compare the speakers of those two iPads. Had to return mine because my 2017 iPad pro sounded much better than the M4.

[marcus]

How bad is the battery compared to your previous 11 inch ipad? What’s the battery percentage difference?

[kinkiyayoutubization]

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?

[sharonfaithgraves]

🐬 loved the video and just subscribed. I just returned the iPad Air M2 11inch due to unresponsive screen, over heating and battery life. The Apple Pencil Pro didn’t work a lot of the time either—-due issues with the iPad. I’m thinking of getting the pro 11 inch. Thanks for the great review

[infotainment]

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.

I currently have iPad Pro 10.5” 2017 and planning on upgrade soon. Which one to buy, iPad Air M2 13” or iPad Pro M4 11”? Considering the price is similar for the 256gb storage (approx. $1000) and I still need to buy apple pencil as well. I am using it for media & note taking. For heavy use, I still have MBP M1 16 inch

[caitlineye]

I will say - I am coming from a 2018 A12X iPad Pro and I am noticing the battery life is radically better on the M4 iPad Pro, but can’t speak to the M2 you mentioned.

[jagoodman]

Great video - I just subbed. Keep up the good work
