DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!! 2020 iPad Pro vs 2021 iPad Pro (M1)

Should you buy the 2020 iPad Pro or the 2021 M1 iPad Pro? Which iPad Pro is a better value? And which iPad Pro is best for your needs? If you want to make sure that you’re not wasting money when choosing an iPad Pro it comes down to a few simple choices.

When the #2021iPadPro came out, it immediately became the most powerful tablet on the market. But the #2020iPadPro was already that - so, are features like an extremely capable M1 chip, more RAM, higher maximum storage capacity, faster connectivity options and a new display on the 12.9” model - meaningful enough upgrades? It depends.

I’ve used both for everything from media consumption, general office work, taking notes, managing my YouTube channel, replying to your comments, posting on social media, working with photos and videos, and even gaming.

Today, I’m going to put these two devices head to head, talk about the good and the bad, share my experience, and help you choose which one is right for you. #apple

What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the 2020 iPad Pro and the 2021 iPad Pro was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?

Which one would you choose and what would you use it for? I am grateful in advance 🙏

[scubbashort]

Like you always say, “Buy it nice, or buy it twice” my 1st iPad is arriving tomorrow. Hello M1

[marcheheart]

I bought the 2020 128gb model because its on sale and the 2021 is about $400 more expensive. No regrets, using for school

[atsawinthongsumak]

As I compared both for what I need (11” 256gb WiFi with cellular), I decided to buy open box iPad 2020 model. I bought nice for my standard and I couldn’t be happier.

[MT-rygv]

I have the 2020 11" ipad pro 256 GB and I use it all the time in my class (teacher). I love it! It's gonna accompany me for the next 6-7 years, like my ipad air 1 did for university ❤️

[aleksap]

I have the 2020 iPad Pro and I don’t regret not waiting! It works amazingly fast and the display is gorgeous.

[michaelsivan]

Still rocking my 2018 11 inch! Waiting for an actual significant upgrade to the 11 inch and software wise to get a new one!

I’m happy with my 2020 IPad Pro and will be for the next few years. I love getting a new Apple product but there isn’t anywhere near enough to make me consider upgrading. My current iPad Pro is fast enough for whatever I am doing. The only thing that could make me consider upgrading is if the screen was significantly improved but I don’t see there being a significant improvement in the near future. Good comparison video. Thanks 👍

Excellent as usual. I bought the iPad Pro 2020 11" hoping to use it to edit video while relaxing in the evening. Ugh, there are no video editing apps for the iPad that can automatically sync external audio to video. Lumafusion will get auto-syncing "sometime this summer, " but it's not known if it will be timecode-only or if it will have waveform-based sync. Honestly? Resolve, FC Pro and Premiere can do it masterfully. Also - no compressor to export Dolby Vision HDR footage at greatly reduced file sizes with minimal perceived loss of quality, as is possible on MacOS. The iPad is kinda fun for editing photos, but it sure isn't "pro" for video.

[topicruben]

Your level of details and information are amazing. Now that I have done a couple of reviews I understand how deep you go, man! Thank you. Killer video as all yours. Cheers

[imthemeanest]

I had a choice between these two and went with the 11” M1 IPad Pro 128gb. I’m not a professional nor do I plan on using the full capabilities of the M1 Chip. However, I made the choice based on pricing. The 2020 IPad was on sale for $599 at best buy with a student discount. I got my M1 iPad for $679 from Best Buy open box but in an excellent condition. With the small difference in price, I thought it would be better to get the M1 iPad and future proof myself

[Evan_Rodgers]

The 2020 iPad Pro refurb deal is pretty hard to pass up on the Apple Store. I was able to grab a keyboard case included for the price of M1. I don’t do heavy gaming or video editing, so I doubt I’ll miss M1 anytime soon.

[enteiraikou]

The video that we’ve all been waiting for is here!! BLESS!!! Thank you!

[sacdaabdurhman]

“You don’t need to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”
Have a good day, cheering you.

[Gzilla]

This is coming out the same day I get my first iPad in the mail. Used a lot of these videos to compare models and make my selection. Got the 2021 M1 iPad pro 256 gb model.

[chefnoelA]

Nice vid. Went with the 11inch 2020 since it was $599 at Best Buy with the student discount. Didn't really need all the new bells and whistles of the M1 iPad pro

[brad_neal]

Very helpful content - Thanks, I'll be hanging on my 2020!

[Xanduur]

You helped me decide to go with an Apple 2nd Gen refurbished iPad Pro. Thanks!

[g.pearson]

I have the 4th gen iPad pro
Its been having issues bcuz of the storage. Every time I took it to the apple store it got worse. Now after taking it to the apple store last night ...it comes on to the lock screen and shuts off.
Im trying to start a business and need my iPad to design
I just had a mini crying fest 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Whipped my tears and said maybe God has something in store for you so start researching the M1

Thank you for your video

[DaRyteJuan]

Really like the speed at which you speak. For those of us the audience who only upgrade every few years, this is appreciated because by then we have to compare a couple, three generations and product lines in the space of a few days or weeks.
