Best review ever on YouTube about nano texture glass

[josephk]

The major advantage of the 1T+ aside from the excessive storage is the RAM capacity, it has 16GB of RAM, while the lesser models have 8GB of RAM... In other words, if you're gonna use this high end model for other high intensity purposed apps as well, it could come in very handy, especially down the road... However, it's indeed very expensive especially if you're also planing to add the magic keyboard and the Apple Care+.

Thank you so much for making this review! This is what I'm looking for, comparing nanotexture to a standard glass with a matte screen protector. For me personally, I think I'll go for a standard screen but with the magnetic screen protector so I can remove it after drawing or sculpting to check the colors, or to enjoy some media consumption from the OLED screen itself.

Tried it at the Apple Store yesterday and it was filthy, the pencil was catching on fingerprints just like on the glossy display, so I bet it would require frequent cleaning. Found that I prefer the texture of a matte screen protector film over the nanotexture’s smooth glide; I mostly use m2 indoors so I’m not so worried about diffused glare. A good reason for going to the 1tb tier is the added RAM - my current m2 has 8GB and it’s always closing background apps. Curious to know if the nanotexture scratches - my old Cintiqs always ended up with random scratch marks, possibly from the end of a charging cable sweeping across in setup/takedown. One little grain of sand on the cleaning cloth or your palm could leave a mark.

Fantastic Review, was looking for how colours actually look, thanks❤

The nanotexture thing is so concerning for longevity. I saw someone do a hardness test and it very quickly became apparent that the texture behaves like a fine grit sand paper. It wore things down that touched it and then got clogged and was unable to be cleaned. That's fine with a matte screen protector because you peel it off when that happens and get another $10 one to replace it with but you can't do that when it's the literal screen getting clogged. It also began to retain scratches WAY earlier than the normal screen.

I think the nanotexture thing is cool in theory but it's not going to hold up with normal usage. Maybe if it wasn't a touch screen like how they offer it on their external displays, then it would be fine, but it being touched is going to ruin it.

Thanx for the exact review I have been waiting for!

"Design Fail" exactly, it's absurd to say you can only use their cleaning cloth.. trying to sell this as something more special than what it actually is, just matte glass

[KoalaTulip]

I'm sticking with matte screen protectors, it's not like I'm using my iPad Pro in the direct sunlight anyway. Plus the nano texture being an extra costly addon is not enticing to me.

Thanks for the video!

Good info as always
. Money grab is big with 🍎 for sure.. Storage cost very little..

[horgel]

One of Apples most evil move. In Germany the matte display option is a 850€ upcharge, if you do not need 1TB. I can by 2 Ipads at this price alone. So sadly, no way....

So the nano is actually much better than a paper-like screen protector, but it's very expensive. For me another issue is that it not only does not protect the screen but makes it more fragile than the regular unprotected glass (see Jerryrigeverything).

I like matte screen on Lenovo tab P12 and drawing experience is really good. And at £350.

[rahmatstyles]

It’s not just a “design fail” but I would called it an excuse of a gimmick. Just like macbook touch bar. I normally stay away from those 1tb 2tb models even as an artist. But I will stick with my M1 iPad Pro 128gb for now.

[eljuli]

In my personal opinion, I think the iPad looks neat with that screen texture. Drawing over a matte screen is a good experience for illustrators. It is a shame the exclusivity for the most expensive ipads.

What do you think about paperlite 2.1 vs the iPad nano texture ?

[PauliePizza]

I hope Android will come out with the nano finish I'm drawing on an S8 Ultra with s Pen Creators edition I love it but want to upgrade. I never used Apple anything everything I have is Android, but I like this Apple tablet. Also, I have one terabyte on my tab(512 plus expandable and have used only 1 percent on my expandable and 4 percent on the other. One terabyte is alot of storage for an artist. Thanks for your vids. I love your art style and calm voice. ✌🏼

Excellent review! If the money wasn’t an issue, and you don’t use the iPad mainly for drawing, would you choose the nano-texture or glossy display?

[UbangAudi]

nice review and coverage. salam from Indonesia

[fede]

What do you think about Glass Matte scren protectors? like the Mothca?
How does the drawing experience and picture quality compare?
