iPad Pro 2021 Long Term Review - The Best Apple Device?

The New 2021 iPad Pro 12.9 M1 has been out for over 6 months and has been my main device when not editing videos. The 2021 M1 iPad Pro has an incredible mini-LED display for HDR video, an M1 chip from Apple, great speakers and iPadOS 15.3 currently. This is a long term review of the new iPad Pro 12.9 M1 for 2021 where I cover the design, durability, scratches, battery life and accessories such as the Apple Medical and Magic Keyboard or iPad Pro 2021 Case. #ipadpro #ipados15 #apple

I just got my 11 inch m1 iPad Pro and I love everything from the magic keyboard to the Apple Pencil!

I upgraded to the 12.9” M1 iPad Pro and I’ve had it for about 5 months, and I love it. Excellent display, and great speakers. Battery life is pretty good for me. I’m still getting around 8-9 hours without the keyboard, and around 6-7 with it. I have the Magic Keyboard, and it adds another element to it, but it does use more battery. Overall, I love it. It’s my daily driver.

I got my 11” M1 iPad Pro at the end of November 2021 just in time for a 10 day trip to Spain… and this thing was absolute GOLD paired up with the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil! Editing raw photos in Lightroom and cutting drone video in Luma Fusion was a breeze on the M1 chip. Using the Magic Keyboard to write emails or type up searches or anything like that is super convenient (but really frustrating there’s not a built-in battery — hopefully in a future version). Using the Pencil to take notes and draw up ideas is such a nice feature, and magnetically at your side (literally) whenever you need. It all depends on what you’re using it for, but for me it’s turned into the perfect little travel editing/content tool as it fits great in any bag, so I always have it close by. It’s also a wonderful YouTube/Netflix consumption tool when not using it for work. Best decision I made with the 11” iPad Pro! Wishing y’all the best in 2022 😁🎊

I just got mine today. The screen and audio speakers of the iPad Pro are so much better than my iPad Air 4 that I got last year. I can’t wait to play around with it. That 100 nim light does make a difference.

I absolutely love my 12.9-inch iPad Pro, as a mechanical engineer and designer I can use apps such as AutoCAD, ProCreate, Affinity Photo and LumiFusion to draw, sketch and editing photos and video on the go. I use and prefer the Brydge Max+ iPad Pro keyboard over the Apple Magic keyboard.

I Love my IPad 9Th Generation 2021!! 😍😍😍

[gelaigurl]

You cant go wrong with any of the iPads. They hold up great for several years. Worth the money.

Your conclusion on battery life was spot on. I got so tired of my 2021 12.9" M1 iPad Pro using up the battery at the rate of 20 - 30% a day, if I didn't use it, that I have ended up powering it off and rarely use it. The battery stays fully charged when turned off so it is not a battery problem.

I got rid of my iPad Air2 because it spent most of its life plugged into a charger and had hoped that this would have been a return to portable usage but not so. We have an old 10.7" iPad Pro that is used from morning till night and the battery will last the whole day. I feel cheated for a $1600 device with the same accessories as you!

I love the Magic Keyboard and was advised to get in the color of Black, I use my iPad Pro 2021 everyday, it works flawless and the keyboard shows no marks.

Hi Aaron! I have the iPad Pro M1 (11” just WiFi) and is the best and amazing device. Also I decided to add the Magic Trackpad. The iPad I use basically for multimedia, videos and movies. The camera is great and I listen the audio with Bluetooth in another sound device. It’s my main product of Apple and I have noticed that I use much, but a lot, the iPad instead of my iPhone XS. I think than I prefer undoubtedly a iPad, in this case the Pro, instead of a Smart Tv, honestly. I watch every day your videos Aaron. Thanks for read me and have a wonderful year. Cheers from Mexico.

I love my M1 11inch iPad Pro. It’s amazing

[lordvectivus]

I have a 2020 IPad Pro and I like it very much, I take it everywhere I go

[BenjaminDenverstone]

I got the 2021 iPad Pro 12.9" myself and I love it. I'm going to be getting the keyboard and pencil soon.

[forsakendevilsangels]

I just wanted to mention; if you leave the Apple Pencil connected to the iPad it’ll drain the battery like 3 times as fast. I stopped leaving mine connected and my iPad 11 pro from 2018 went from going 100 to dead in 5 days, to almost 12 days of standby time.

I have a 12.9in cellular version and I’m loving it no complaints

[mooban]

Thank you for the video…
I used this IPad for many months and I am so happy of it…

[garyt.]

Had my iPad Pro for about a year and use it with my AirPod Pros. Round about the same time, I stopped using my 65in TV . It’s the best way to watch films and my ‘go too’ when flying. Can’t beat it!!

[MrSurvival]

Great video as always Aaron. I upgraded to the iPad Pro M1 11” last year from the iPad Air 2. I had no idea what I was missing out on! I love the accessories you can use like the Logitech keyboard combo I have and the Apple Pencil. The battery life, speed and screen with ProMotion also make the device a joy to use. It’s my favorite device for checking email, doing light web browsing and watching content. Center stage is awesome for FaceTime calls too. It’s sooo close to replacing my laptop but needs a little more capability like you said. I’d like to bring just the iPad with me when I travel!

[jarnoldja]

Just ordered the iPad M1 11 Wi-Fi and cellular. Can’t wait to get it!!
