M4 iPad Pro One Month Later | I Was WRONG!

How has the M4 iPad Pro held up after a solid month of REAL WORLD use?

Lets find out!

Gary pls don’t do the “I WAS WRONG” title - you’re too good for that

Writing with the Apple Pencil is the main reason I left my MacBook Pro and went all-iPad Pro. You can easily erase text, move text, color text, etc. All while walking around in a factory. PLUS, you can do word search years later and find your stuff! MY MACBOOK PRO IS HISTORY.

The M2 iPad Airs DO support the Apple Pencil Pro! It’s a big reason why I decided the Air 13 was the way to go as it offers so much value per dollar compared to the Pros.

When the new iPads released the price on the M1 iPad Air dropped, and when it hit $399 I jumped on it. It more than meets my modest needs.

Don’t need the M4. Still doing fine with the 2018 iPad Pro with the A12X.

The 11" M4 iPad Pro is the first iPad I bought for myself. I don't use it everyday and I use it only as a tablet. I LOVE the display which is great for consuming content. I like knowing that this iPad will be snappy and supported by Apple for many years to come.

I'm blown away with my M4 iPad Pro and the new Apple Pencil. I wish that I could hate on Apple for this one, I can't. They meet and exceed my expectations.

For me it’s the ability to open up the iPad with Cellular and get 85% accomplished with relative ease and no barrier. The Apple Pencil pro and Face 🆔 are so convenient and I really wish Apple would just bite the bullet and either put MacOS or a better filing system. Like just match the file system and that’s 99%

Like Teach Gear Talk said “Buy it nice or buy it twice” I believe in buying it once for quality and longevity of the product.

I have the M4 iPad Pro and am quite happy with it. I do not have any version of the Apple Pencil. ipadOS is fine for what I use it for, although the lame way it handles files and file-systems is annoying. It wants to believe that users have only a few files to work with, while at the same time it is providing hundreds of gigabytes (or even terabytes!) of space. I'm using it many for entertainment and for controlling the few devices I have in my Apple home. Given the nature of the work I do, I could not use an iPad (or anything similar to an iPad) to do my work.

Sold my iPad Pro, MacBook Pro and Mac Studio. Was able to buy an awesome ThinkPad X1C w/WWAN. Replaced all three devices with one.

1 month from now: “why I’m returning my M4 iPad Pro”

Great review. I have an iPad pro that's a few years old and have not found a compelling reason to upgrade. It's still a stellar tablet to this day.

I have no doubt that this generation iPad should really make Apple think about rebranding their computer line. The iMac should revert to the Macintosh or "Mac" name. Leaving the iMac name available for the "mobile Mac" the renamed iPad. The designs already effectively mirror each other. If the Mac, closed up its bezels, rounded the screen edge to match the corners and dropped the chin while increasing size to 27" standard, then the Mac and iMac designs are nearly identical, other than aspect ratio. This would give Apple the opportunity to slowly phase out the MacBook lineup and leave a very simple line of incredible products. I would also love to see Apple drop "Pro" and "air" branding and just align all similar models into one design and just allow for internal customization to the desired or necessary capability.

Mac 27" and 32"
iMac 11" and 13"
iPhone 6" and 7"
iWatch 45mm and 50mm

Turning off background app refresh has been a game changer for my M4 iPad Pro. It’s made it so that I lose minimal battery when the iPad is not in use. Before this i would be put off using my iPad as every time i come to use it, it was low on battery.

Tbh unless you need promotion, or are an artist the M2 ipad air is such an incredible value, and are more than enough for most people. Plus the M2 air supports the new pencil as well

[etanlg]

Apple increased form over function when they could have increased the battery life.

[eopian]

I bought the iPad Air 11 M2 with Apple Pencil Pro based on your feedback! I couldn’t justify it to myself to go Pro at roughly twice the price.

“I was wrong” but carried on using it anyway just in case I wasn’t….
Honestly

Good video. Another cool thing about the Apple Pencil pro I noticed compared to second one is that I can consistently get the double tap function to work. With the previous pencil, it felt like I had to double tap on particular parts of the pencil to activate it, so I had to rotate it around to search for the spots. For the Pro, though, this has no longer been an issue.
