Got mine yesterday and that display is absolutely gorgeous

I liked your video on the new iPad Pro and so glad I have ordered this and the Magic Keyboard which should arrive this Saturday. No doubt I will want the new Apple Pencil too as my old one isn’t going to work by the sound of it. I look forward to any further videos you do. ❤

[brooklynborn]

I just got mine yesterday. It is very similar to the M1/M2 but i see them being able to do amazing things with updates. The thing is crazy fast and powerful. Its beyond imaginable

[dgutie]

I received my M4 iPad Pro yesterday, I throughly enjoy it, but one thing that sticks out is the bezels…they seem so big! I wish they would shrink those bezels! The new Magic Keyboard is awesome. Coming from a 2018 iPad Pro, the new M4 iPad and keyboard much lighter.

Killing it mate! Keep up the phenomenal work

[bekabarboni]

love you and this channel so much!! was waiting for this review 😁 THANK YOU MARK!

Got my M4 iPad Pro 13-Inch yesterday and godfuckingdamn this thing is the most beautiful incredible piece of technology I have ever seen. That screen is eye melting that keyboard is just exactly a laptop with a great keyboard and premium look. That pencil is nice as well and ofcours the power of M4 to run anything. I’m so impressed and so happy I bought this expensive thing… but it’s sooo worth the price. I recommend anyone that is in doubt to buy this thing, you wont be disappointed!!

You got 150.000 now well done keep going bro

[Andy-rcdb]

Thanks for those first impressions. I’d be interested in knowing which tier you went with. I went for the 13” 512GB, but am now tempted to return it and swap it out for the 1TB. I do some video editing/content creation and whilst initial benchmarking (MaxTech) suggests that the differential between the 9 and 10 core CPU is minimal, I do worry that WWDC may change that…. and then I’ll end up regretting not spending that extra… But £400 is one hell of an upgrade on an iPad.

[techhubwiltsuk]

Good stuff, buddy. Been waiting for you to do a video on the new iPad after watching everybody else's. Top job as always.. When I do eventually get one, I'm going for the silver with the white keyboard and I think you've confirmed my choice

[Microice]

Hi Mark, you got something wrong with the brightness at 5:50, yes there both get up of peak brightness HDR to 1600 nits, BUT the M4 Oled Ipad Pro can get with normal SDR to 1000 nits, the M1/M2 is at 600 nits, that answers your question at 6:04 why the OLED looks brighter :)

[McCov]

The thinest Apple product was the sticker.... LoL🤣

[michaelboys]

Great video, as always, Mark. Is the brightness really noticeable compared to older. Models? I have an M1 ipad pro and I was considering updating for the extra brightness.

[stevens]

The new oled screen makes it completely worth it, just picked it up from the apple store. The screen is gorgeous. Also upgrading from the m2 iPad Pro 12.9

[jonphelan]

I’ve got an iPad Air, few years old and this is first time I’m tempted to upgrade. On a side note, what is the ring you wear, is it an activity one?

[adamrobinson]

Until this M4 thing or anything after it runs Mac OS, i will be sticking with my M1 Pro.

[LMActionsports]

I received my 13 inch M4 iPad Pro 2 days ago and wow it is super fast compared to my M1 iPad Pro 12.9. Both tablets have 16 gigs of RAM and 1 terabyte of storage. I spend all day on my iPad Pro in the office working editing raw image files in Lightroom and photoshop. I'm so much quicker on my iPad Pro then using a PC. And this new M4 has a beautiful new screen the new Apple Pro pencil I'm getting used to the little extra features that come with it but it feels like the other one but the lag time is like nothing. So that's good. But I could care less if it's thinner but it does fit into my M1 iPad Pro case. I did buy a new case but it's not as good as the one I had already so I tried it out and it fits pretty good. It's a hair loose inside of it but I know it will never fall out of it I am super happy with how much faster everything imports and exports out of the Lightroom and photoshop on the new m4. I did a test between both tablets with 10 gigs of the same image files and the M4 was 2 minutes and 20 seconds to 3 minutes and 30 seconds faster than the M1. I don't know if it's much of a difference on the M2 iPad Pro but if you have an M1 you will definitely see the difference. And I could care less if it don't have Mac OS or whatever everybody's was hoping for but I am happy with my purchase and back to editing

[ryanrawlins]

I have a M1 iPad Pro and didn’t think it would be worth upgrading it, but I’m starting to lean towards getting this one.

[ASM_]

I haven’t got an iPad currently but am thinking of buying the iPad Pro because of the amazing display + it’s the newest and best ofcourse. What do you guys think, should I buy it?

[seesquared]

I use an M1 MacBook Air to edit on Garage Band a simple audio only podcast - what upgrade path should I take? M3 MacBook Air or M4 iPad Pro?
