Took us a while but really happy with how our comparison video turned out! Hope you guys enjoy it! 😊

7:45 if you are comparing both the M2 and M4 iPad Pro models then both iPads should say: iPad Pro on the back. i think you may have mixed up the M1 and M2 iPads because the M2 iPad Pro models have the words iPad Pro on the back of the device.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the 12.9 M2

A bunch of power in tablets that we don’t need. Keeping my M2 pro

I was waiting to upgrade my iPad Air 3 to the new 13 inch, but the price was a deal breaker. Instead I went with the M2 12.9 Pro at Costco for 600 past weekend.

In April, I upgraded to the iPad Pro 2022 model. Two weeks before the newer versions came out. I updated from the iPad six generation. I am really happy with my purchase. Upgrading from a 2018 model to a 2022 model was a big leap for me when it comes to the generations of the iPad. Although I was two weeks shy of the newer pro models coming out I am really happy with my purchase. I think the newer features of the iPad Pro are cool however for myself, not something I need to go out and update too. I use the iPad for very basic needs, and I’m not in the need to update every time there’s a new feature coming out. an example I bought the Apple Pencil second generation with my purchase. I’m a novice drawer, and in many ways, do not need the cool features that the new Apple Pencil Pro offers. If I was more of a professional in my drawing and photographing, maybe I could see myself upgrading, or waiting until the newer models came out. Loving my new iPad Pro 2022 model.

Thanks for your extensive review. I’m upgrading to the new IPad Pro with the new M4 chip.

coming from an apple ecosystem owner... honestly 90% of people wont ever use the full extent of the power of either the M4 ipad, unless youre an artist who renders a lot of work, an architect, engineer, media professional, and neither the capabilities of the apple pencil pro, whom is geared towards PROFESSIONAL artists and designers. Average joes such as myself who own an apple watch, an iphone 15 pro max and will use the iPad for note taking, sporadic video watching and very sporadic gaming, the last gen are just right. Hell! you can even withhold upgrading the M2 models for the next 5-6 years and you wont notice any kind of lag or stutters from the M2 models. Besides, Apple's forcing us to either go pencil C or Pro, no inbetween, and that screams scummy.

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.

I’ll finally be updating my iPad Pro first generation to the new one 😊

[dld]

the better value for me is to keep my 12.9 m2 ipad pro!

[rokusaburo]

16:16 13 inch speaker sound comparison did you say that the new one is a little bit better or was that a mistake?

[fwbarney]

Just ordered the m4 512gb version, and after watching this vid, I definitely do not regret my decision.

If there really is a hybrid OS in the works, that would be good. Both the M2 Pro and M4 Pro large screens are where the real comparison/differences are. To me it comes down to if you don’t have an iPad Pro, the M4 is totally the way to go. If you have an iPad Pro M2, probably not. If you have an M1, just wait for the first sale/discounts to move some of the M4s at the end of this year. Have both the large M2 and M4, and the only reason for the M2 was that it makes infinitely more sense than to buy this year’s large screen iPad Air with it’s 2015-ish LCD screen tech. Got a 256GB Gen6 12.9” Pro for the same price as a M4 13” Air with one memory upgrade. The TB port alone is worth it on the Pro.

All that and the more prominent display for better productivity explain why I upgraded from the iPad Pro 11 M2 to the iPad Pro 13 M4. Furthermore, I am thrilled I did; the thing is fantastic. Setting aside the brightness and HDR quality, the deeper blacks make writing on the thing a great experience (I like sharp, black text since I stare at words for many hours a day).

I will not say I notice any meaningful speed difference in day-to-day use, but having more headroom in case I need it is good. Weirdly, people have responded that the M4 is a lot faster, as if it is terrible, just because iPadOS is not MacOS. Furthermore, who knows, maybe Apple will introduce something at WWDC that will better utilize all that power.

I still have my 12.9 M2, the performance improvements don't parlay into real world benefits for me. That being said, if I didn't have to upgrade the pencil and Magic Keyboard I would have traded in my M2. Now I will wait for the next generation.

[jgbleeker]

This is the best review if you ask me 👌🏼

[tronam]

MaxTech showed almost no real world performance benefits between the binned and unbinned M4 chips, so it's essentially pointless to get the 1TB model just to get the "fastest" M4 iPad Pro. Just get the amount of storage you actually need and spend the extra money on something else.
