Worth it! Just got my iPad Pro M4 after returning the m2 air. I think the features are worth the extra cost!

screen and sound comparisons are really on point... cheers

Worth it!! Thank you for the review. I got the 13” Pro. I work in engineering and take a lot of notes and draw on a lot of pdf’s.

I am still on my 1st gen ipad pro 12.9 (2015), i still love it, it still does whatever I want as a student, but these days I considered to upgrading it to 11’ iPad pro M4 with pencil Pro because of the long lasting of Apple iPads, i am still shocked how was it possible for a device work like that after 9 years

I’ve been going back and forth on the Air versus the Pro for months now. I’m upgrading from a 5th generation Mini so either way it’s a win for me; my plan is to make it my editing workhorse for photos and graphic design, so knowing that either one could work well for that purpose keeps me unsure of which one to get. I will say though, having invested into a few OLED TVs in recent years makes the idea of a screen like that on an iPad super appealing..

Crystal clear explanation and production quality is simply wonderful :) Keep going

Thanks for your thoughtful review of the new iPads, Jon. It helps to see your real world use as I consider if I should purchase one of these models or an older one.

I’ve got an m2 air and love it. Got it mainly as it can connect to a display and is perfect for doing prep for my masters. Didn’t think I needed the extra power of the pro and honestly so happy with it

After using 120hz since the 10.5 pro, 60hz caused me headaches, so I had to return my air M2 and reluctantly buy the Pro M4.

Great video! Oddly the deal breaker for me was actually Face ID. The screen was Olay for me but I ended up sticking with the 13” Pro and the 11” 2018 pro still works great for throwing around

(Worth It) Thanks for this video Jon. I came across your channel thru Threads. Thanks for giviing me an idea on which iPad to get this holiday season. Leaning towards the base model iPad Air since I am a casual user but the iPad Pro is also an option. Subscribed.

Don't mean to be a troll, but I really like the dimensions of the samsung s9+. The 12.4 inch screen is much better size for viewing media while still being (just barely) able to hold it one handed. The 13 inch ipads are just too big to use as a tablet, for me anyways and the 11 inches is a bit too small for my eyes. I still use my older ipads. Maybe Lenovo or Xiaomi tablets of 12 inches are also good.

Hi there! Great video.I would like to consult you... When preparing for an opposition exam in my country I need a lot of bibliography (many books)
With the iPad Air M2 (2024) do you think it could be used to "scan (with screenshots) a book with images?
Scanning a book, as I say, with screenshots, what do you think the result would be? Would the screenshots of the book with this iPad not give good results or, on the contrary, would the result of those captures be close to the images from the original book?, that is to say,
the result of those screenshots, in which % would approach the images of the original book ?. I thank you in advance. kind regards

I recently bought the 2024 Ipad air m2 11" iPad. The performance of this iPad is amazing. But the only thing I didn't like was the quality of the front camera since its a bit "grainy". But overall the iPad is perfect

How your phone standing up at 10:04? Appreciate your work. I have a 13” coming today and I’m pretty stoked. Its just going to be a YouTube machine 😂

I use the same power bank. It charges faster when you use both USB-c ports for recharging the battery at the same time.

Sir please reply, this can change my buying decision, science you have both please answwer me
1) do you feel any difference in battery hours, which one gives you more screen on time for same work ?
2) in my country the difference in price is 300$ between these two, is it really worth it ?
3) i read in apple comunity that there is heating issue in new pro, is it true ?

please reply

Hi I hope u still respond to older videos 🤞I use DaVinci pretty frequently and want a tablet for general uni work. Given you said the editing workflow felt similar between the air and pro, is the 13” to 11” that big of a hassle? Does it ever feel too cramped?

I always use Sketchup in my ipad pro m1, and i wonder when its come to M4 GPU or CPU performance how the app runs when you turn on SHADOW AND Ambient occlusion, however i found it lacking a little bit in m1. Thank you
