Let me know what you would go for m2 or m4?!

[morgansakeagak]

The M2 Ipad Pro 11 Inch Is actually just an LCD display. Only the 12.9 Inch Ipad pros had the mini LED displays.

Yup, good points. I upgraded my 12” 2018 ipad pro for the M2 12” a month before the M4 released. Didn’t want to buy the new keyboard & pencil. Plenty happy with the upgrade

[DanZimmerli]

I went with the M2 iPad Pro upgrading from the 2018 iPad Pro and I am very happy with it.

Just ordered an m2 iPad Pro today. I have a mini 6 and I love it but I wanted something bigger. Somehow I ended up in the Apple ecosystem completely. MacBook Air, Mac Studio, iPhone 14, Apple Watch, and 3 ipads 🤷🏾‍♂️ but they make products that just work! Thanks for the video, confirmed my decision.

Thanks for the content. I agree the M2 Pro is a great deal and especially for those that travel a lot (or in my case if you live in Europe) as you also get the sim tray (aren't the new iPads e-Sim only?) and it's very useful to be able to pop in different sims or even use your mobile phone sim instead temporarily.

I'm not sure how e-sim works with new contracts (assume you have to commit to a new long-term deal)?...

I just picked up an m2 512 gig iPad Pro 12.9. Absolutely love it. Started a YouTube channel with it!

I'd be far more likely to buy one of the newer models if Apple had added an additional thunderbolt port . As a creator reliant on dongles that's far more appealing to me than raw power that in all honesty I doubt I could ever take advantage of. Great video & congratulations on creating an informative & down to earth tech channel.

Great videos that get right to the information. I’m going to get the M2 11” iPad Pro. I don’t want it to be too big, but I could see there being times I wish it were bigger with a 12.9”. Then I realized I can just connect to a monitor when I need a larger screen.

[ahmetemirulas]

Hi, can i ask is there a much difference about battery life between m2 pro 12.9' and m4 pro 13'

[kikyozu]

I am a full time artist and designer.. I do digital painting a lot dan also do design, animation and 3D stuff… In your opinion if i get Ipad Pro M2 128gb will it enough? I won’t while drawing or do animation will causes lag or the memory will so fast full.. ☺️

I'm a digital artist who makes intensive use of my iPad for both 2D and 3D art and due to the release of the new 2024 iPad Pro's I was able to get a 2022 12'9 inch iPad pro with 2TB storage and 16 GB RAM for a huge discount. I need a lot of RAM for the detailed 3D projects I'm doing and I really prefer a big canvas, because honestly 11 inch is a little crammy when you're doing art. It's less than A4 😅

You don't always need the newest model. I'm pretty sure this iPad will last me MANY years.

[DigiDriftZone]

It's great hardware, but it's iPadOS... The M1 iPad 12.9" which is already complete overkill can be had for 1/3 of the price of the M4. You can literally buy a MacBook Pro M1 and a 12.9" iPad M1 and have money left over for a weekend away somewhere - that's also an option to consider :)

[jimtipton]

Great review as always Jon! I heard someone say that the whole reason for the M4 is for power efficiency and the reason it can run the tandem OLED displays. Kind of makes sense since I agree that even the M1 was powerful and any of these iPads would be great. I also would like to see a more robust iPadOS or the iPadOS Pro. I think it could be a great OS with some tweaks and some modifications to the “Pro” apps.

[beckypatrick]

Thanks Jon. You helped me make up my mind and not overspend. All I do is Etsy and You tube and I am going with the M2. You were wonderful!

[worldcitizen]

honestly for 99% of folks the Ipad Air M2 will do anything they want ....

[elsenabbasov]

A truly amazing and informative video. I'm going to buy an iPad soon. I was torn between the M2 and M4 chip, but after watching this video, I saw that there really was no need to spend more money for the M4 chip. The M2 chip really doesn't lag behind the M4. But sometimes I have thoughts like M2 is weak compared to M4 chip, it would be better if I buy a new iPad. Do you think there will be updates to the M2 chip for a long time, my friend? Normally there is 1 model difference between them, I have no doubt that this will happen.

[devin]

Solid video. I am mostly interested in how the oled compares to the miniled. I can’t say I’ve ever considered the miniled lacking, and I have seen reports of a grainy image on the new oled models especially at lower to medium brightness settings - which is probably where the brightness will be most of the time.

[monishdeekshith]

Brother which is better option m2 air or m2 pro

[DannyMexen]

Thanks, Jon.

I have the 9th Gen + Apple Pencil.

I use my iPad a fair amount so upgrading is on the table.

Thanks for sharing.
