If you have any M series chip iPad, there's no reason to buy a newer one.

I bought the 11 inch iPad Pro 256gb in space black to replace my 2016 9.7 iPad Pro 128 gb and all I can say is WOW! The OLED panel is simply stunning! I strictly use my iPad for media consumption and I truly think this is the best media consumption device ever created. For the people saying that you should only get the pro if you do pro things, I think that is a lie. Comparing the oled to the lcd panel in the Air, there is no comparison. The oled blows it out of the water! Since my last iPad lasted me 8 years, I think this is going to last me 10 years easily with all the excess power I have available for my use case. What display do you wanna look at for the next 10 years? And also in the great debate between 11 and 13 I think it comes down to two things, do you create on it and do you use it on your lap or at a desk. If you are a creator or use it on a desk for productivity with a keyboard, go 13. If you are like me and use it for consumption and are are mostly holding the device, go 11. The size difference of 16:9 aspect ratio videos is so small between the two sizes, the extra heft is not worth it imo. Anyway I’m absolutely loving the best $1000 Netflix machine on the market! lol

For the first time it felt like this video is biased towards the m4. Even the m1 ipad and screen is capable to edit and color grade videos and it’s great and in this video m2 ipads screen looked like from 1980s perhaps night mode or something is turned on, on the m2 since m4 screen looked brighter and more white and m2 looked like it’s all pale and brownish. To get the m4 ipad you need to get apple pencil and keyboard back again and this is unacceptable imo just to get the m4 why should i get everything back again while i already have the pencil and keyboard. That’s typical, the greedy apple ditching their own gadgets in couple of years and it’s not normal. So it’s not only $200 difference at the end.

I went with the m2 11 inch 256gb WiFi+cellular for $799. Don’t regret it at all.

[inspector-tech]

No bro… It’s not $200 difference. It’s $20 difference. What people fail to understand is that the M4 base model now has 256GB and to get 256GB on the previous iPad You had to pay about the same price as this M4 which is about a $20 difference, okay? So for $20 more you’re getting a heck of a lot for your money compared to the M2 version…

Been following this channel for a few years now. Bought the 11" M2 iPad Pro, and it's arriving in a few days. I'm in the UK, but converting to USD I paid about $810, compared to $1270 for the M4 (£999). I'd love the M4, but it was out of my budget, so it was between the new M2 Air or the old M2 Pro

Yesterday I went to the Apple Store to purchase an 11” iPad Pro, but the 13” iPad Pro on display had the most beautiful display. I purchased the 13” iPad and was disappointed the moment I saw my display. I changed the display settings, but was still disappointed. The biggest disappointment was when I couldn’t get the iPad to connect to my wifi. I was on the phone with Apple Support for 45 minutes before he told me to take the iPad to the Genius Bar. I am returning this iPad and exchanging it for the 11” iPad.

Great comparison ! Can you make a video on 12.9 inch m2 iPad Pro vs 13 inch iPad Pro ?

[poke_fit_art]

I’ve a 10.5 inch pro and it’s served me great.

I was thinking of the latest M4 but I can get refurbed m1 and x4 times the storage of my current 10.5 inch pro and save just under €300 vs buying the new M4.

Which seems like the better option as I mainly use my iPad for Procreate and some mobile gaming apps but unsure what to go for and obviously saving money would be somewhat important too.

[drjesseceballos]

IMO, was worried about the speakers on the 12.9 vs 13 inch sound worse on the 13, it’s a noticeable downgrade if you’re used to the M1/M2 iPad. This is my only and biggest complaint about my new iPad

[jabulaniharvey]

for music playback, M2 11 inch sounds a little brighter in the high frequencies than the (slightly muddier) highs of the noticeable through your microphones and heard using headphones

[TheNewGreenIsBlue]

Wow the mics sound SO much better on the M4.

[DanZimmerli]

I didn’t want to spend all that money for the new keyboard and pencil so I ordered a refurbished M2 model instead (upgraded from 2018 iPad Pro)

[mohammedshurrab]

I am planning to buy a 13 inch iPad, but I have this dilemma.

I am not going into the pro any more because of the very high entry point with all accessories. So it either will be the M2 13 inch iPad Pro or the M2 13 inch iPad Air.

This is a comparison I want to see, with consideration of the availability of discounts and second hand for the pro one.

[kingkiril]

I have the M1 iPad Pro. It’s still very fast. I want to upgrade for the oled screen but I’m going to wait for wwdc first.

[brandondelgado]

If you want to get the M4 for art, bi real need. Many professional artists have been making art with the 2018 models and many who upgraded to the M1 still do great art with them. Oled is great but the Retina display is excellent. Some drawbacks but you don’t need to spend $1500+ only if you have the money to spend. Don’t go into credit card debt just to “feel good” with the new one.

[Svoboda]

Those speakers did not sound identical

[daelmagra]

I’m happy with my 2tb M2 iPad Pro, I will wait for the bigger screen iPad .

[FerretySatzuma]

I was expecting to replace my iPad Air 3 with a iPad Air 13… but I just got an iPad Pro 12.9 M2 for 699 new at costco.

[jonb]

Just got my iPad 11 inch M4, its a beast of iPad, Handles pretty much you can throw at it. Screen quality is very good for movies/videos. I plan to keep for at least 3 yrs
