The iPad Pro is pointless.

The M4 iPad Pro is Apple’s most powerful YouTube player yet

This is why I hate the "PRO" naming. Pros don't use Bluetooth headphones for editing, they use wired headphones. Pros need their machines to talk to any USB device they plug in. Pros need to be able to use the best stuff, whether it's from Apple or someone else. Pros want a machine where their money is going directly to power and usability, not the Apple tax.

Pros:
- *Most powerful* iPad.
Cons:
- Most powerful *iPad*

having essentially an incredibly powerful pc in such a small form factor and then locking it to some dogshit operating system is the worst marketing decision i have ever witnessed.

Apple spends over $25 billion USD annually on Research and Development. If a product can't do something or is lacking a feature, it's because Apple simply didn't want it to.

Running an overpowered chip on such gimped software is just like cramming a 5.5L V8 into Tony. He'd probably backflip within milliseconds.

6:58 Wow, you're telling me that Apple is trying to get you to buy Iphones to use as cameras instead of just being compatible with other brand cameras? What a shock, I would never have thought.

Fun fact: Most newer Samsung phones support something called DEX, plug that bad boy into a keyboard, mouse, and usb-c display supported monitor and you've got yourself a semi-functional desktop that can run a lot of that good shit. Samsung makes amazing tablets that support this mode natively. But personally, I've always loved the Surface computers from Microsoft. They run full Windows 11 without any OS drawbacks. Their only downside is their power but get a newer one from 2022< with more than 8gb of ram and it easily replaces laptops.

Apple slaps the “pro” moniker onto random things, it no longer means “for professional use”, it now means it’s the most expensive model.

That’s what I’ve been saying! The iPad is stupidly powerful and iOS is so locked down and doesn’t have many pc like features that you basically have almost nothing to do with the incredible power of the iPad! But on the other hand, if Apple gave the iPad more pc like features, no one would buy MacBooks. That’s how the industry works ladies and gentlemen!

carefully nerfed is such a perfect way to describe this, its like they are a gaming company thats actually doing their job and nerfing OP game characters or bosses
except they arent a game company

[gabortorok]

even as a digital artist using the M2 Ipad pro for clip studio is miserable because the application just acts like it's a computer but with no keyboard shortcuts so gently resting my hand on the screen makes half the damn app rearrange.

Ipad OS doesn't allow for "middle click" support either. My father tried using a cloud based mechanical engineering app for his work, and wasn't able to rotate the models with the mouse lmao

It’s like buying a Corvette and electronically limiting it to Tony’s top speed

It's extremely comforting to know there's somebody that points it out and carefully craft these points

Through the removal of the headphone jack, Garageband is now nearly unusable

The walled garden strategy is definitely what's hurting the iPad to this degree. They can't make it too open, because Apple wants to determine how you would use it.

I love when Garbage time guy collabs with Dankpods. they do sound very similar tho

I had the OG iPad, the 2010 model. I loved that thing, but even back then I was saying "this needs to run full MacOS". If you need a professional tablet, you get a Surface Pro. If you want something powerful that can do double duty, you get a Galaxy Tab S.

Dad bought the regular one for drawing. It took me and him half an hour trying to figure out the file system, despite the fact that he is a software engineer.
