The M2 iPad Pro camera’s design looks better. The M4’s camera’s design looks cheap; gives off the iPad Air vibe 😂

[Emlt]

Can’t wait for WWDC to see if these iPads are worth it

[BroBrown]

The M2 has better audio when you compared the two, the M4 had that talking in a tunnel sound.

[sherif.]

They jumped to the m4 in the iPad so they can use all that power to come out with a calculator app for the iPad finally

Everyone saying there “good with their old iPad” should feel good about saying that. Apples hardware including the M-series chips are so good. Like why would anyone consider upgrading? I understand maybe it’s dependent on what you use your iPad for but judging by the thousands of comments saying the software sucks… then be happy there is no need to upgrade every 5 mins. Literally this year is just a nice screen and a faster chip that no one will hardly notice. When you make a purchase or an m- series Mac or m-series iPad the plan should be to keep it for years to come! I don’t get why people need to trade in there iPads every single year and then continue to complain. It’s okay to hang onto your device for a few years…

Returned my M4 OLED. Keeping my M2 mini LED. The eyestrain was killing me. Never a problem with my mini LED. I think this technology is still a work in progress. From a text clarity perspective, seems like a clear step backwards and that's a deal breaker for me as i don't just use my iPad as a portable TV.

honestly the only time i ever notice the mini led blooming is when everything else is black on the screen and theres a title or something in a video. Other than that It never bothers me.

Very strange ... I took both my M4 13" iPad Pro outside with brights turned fully up, and compared it with my M1 12.9" iPad Pro (that supposedly has 600 nits SDR brightness, versus 1000 nits on the M4) ... however, both displays appear identical in bright light. I'm not seeing the difference you are describing. I am being 100% honest ... I love the new M4 13" iPad Pro for its hardware, the new keyboard, the added functionality of the Pencil Pro and for its future proofing for upcoming Ai tools. But as far as the display goes, this new OLED display has pretty much identical brightness with the prior mini-LED screens, except for the small 'optical illusion' of the mini-LED screen having a lightly more 'blueish tone of whites' and the OLED screen having a slightly more "yellowish white tone". Both look great ... the blueish-white of the mini-LED screen might make the overall colours slightly less saturated, but digital artists and graphic designers might find the mini-LED screen to be more accurate and neutral.

So other than the slight difference in "white balance" (which is subjective and is what's creating this slight 'optical illusion' of the new OLED screen being brighter, I can honestly say the difference is so slight as to be almost unnoticeable. Both screens are excellent. I use both iPads side by side on a daily basis and can confidently say that the mini-LED display is just as good, all this initial gushing over the OLED display is either 'exaggerated enthusiasm over this new toy' or an opportunity for a new video topic around the latest hype. After a few months when the hype settles down, most users will likely admit that both screens are pretty much equal. (I've also done comparison with UHD content and have to really look hard to find significant difference).

The old front facing cameras were meant for portrait video calls, or not? „You’re using it wrong“ 🤣

[arturkre]

my m1 ipad is still totally overpowered. With IpadOS its just a toy to consume media, surf the web and draw some stuff

[minddrug]

Definitely DO NOT UPGRADE if you are using M2 iPad Pro. Wait until at least M8 iPad Pro.

[SunilPatri-xh]

I own iPad Pro M1 12.9”. Based on the online reviews that M4 iPad Pro with OLED got even brighter, colourful, perfect black level screen etc., I ordered one to see if I should replace my M1 Pro. I found indeed it is brighter, better contrast and more punchy colours and of course buttery smooth.

What I did not like is that it has quite a warmer tone, skins tone is not great. When I kept M1 and M4 Pro side by side it was quite evident – M1 I found more neutral and natural colours. I’ve done lots of photo editing and quite sensitive to colour accuracy – did not find M4 convincing enough to and worth $1, 300 USD.

May be later OLED improvement would be better, for now M1 Pro continues to be excellent.

[oopsallluke]

the old camera angle was atrocious lmao

[cpufrost]

Waiting for tandem OLED to arrive in Macbook Pro!

[Thomasjcolbert]

I did upgrade it. I had both at the same time last week before i sold my M2. Everything in this video is true. I like it a lot better. The much brighter screen in SDR is awesome. I don’t have an Apple Pencil tho. I do have the magic keyboard and the typing is great on it. I watch content on this every day, so it was worth it for me at least.
Only thing I wish was that the Magic Keyboard had more weight in the front. That’s the only thing. If you have angled all the way and the surface is not totally flat, it’s going backwards.

Gonna take more than thinner design and oled to make me toss my M1 12.9

[royal]

Please make a video about 12" m1 iPad Pro vs m4 iPad Pro, which most people currently have.

[mrdarryljones]

iPads make artists happy; I feel sorry for everyone else who wants one but doesn’t know what to do with it.

[Ifalvarado]

I was going to get the M2 Ipad Pro on a sale price, but after seeing the huge differences, especially with the display quality, blooming and refresh response, something i never noticed before, i rather hold on for it
