I am upgrading for the higher brightness. All other features are just nice bonuses.

Been scouring YouTube in regards to drawing tablets and the fact that both you and Brad had similar times of release in regards to this product really goes to show how prominent Ipad products are as drawing tablets.

I’ve watched many videos across youtube covering the iPad Pro and Air. This video was by far the most useful and insightful. I also really enjoyed watching your brilliant sketch develop over the course of the video. Thank you sir, I look forward to your 13” review.

This guy is a genius. I can't tell you how many things you did in this video that is lacked in other ones.

Very comprehensive review. I like the comparison with the A5 pad.

[josend]

Finally! I’ve been waiting for this review! 🙌

[Stargazer]

I wasn't expecting to watch the entire video lol. It was insightful, relaxing, and informative. Thank you so much for sharing your experience!

[xaranthius]

Take my thumbs up! Seriously though, thanks for the long, in depth review while also ticking that loves to watch videos of someone drawing dopamine switch in my brain.

has anyone notice how fast the battery of the pencil pro draining quickly than other previous generation? mine only last nearly 3 hours per charge

[KevSantos]

Not sure if you didnt know, but i believe you can set the double tap to work only when hovering. This should make accidental presses less frequent

Team11 inch! I use this for drawing as well and it’s not too small at all for me. I traded my 12.9 and have no regrets. It’s much more fun to use as it’s very light and portable.

I will watch it later. yesterday I got the iPad Air 13" and Apple Pencil Pro. For me the Apple Pencil Pro is a before and after; for people that don't use brush tips with angle, maybe it's better to buy an iPad Pro M2.

The main "con" for me is the 60 hz refresh rate; then the brightness on light tones. Everything else is pretty good on Air 13", even the screen colors.

I tested Sidecar with Mac and it works almost like a real tablet attached to Mac; much better than iPad Pro M1. It even works with Barrel Roll on Mac! This is a very huge benefit for me.

Considering trading in my M1 11” to a base M4 11”. The extra brightness and extra features of the pencil do sound pretty enticing, especially find my and hover (M1 doesnt have hover and it’s starting to get a little frustrating I will admit). I’m mainly a manga style artist though so barrel isnt so important to me.

Nice to see another artist using the 11”, great review!

Wanna see ipad air 6 11 inches
Waiting for your in details videos

[nekomansa]

Maybe I missed this, but what's the P3 and AdobeRGB gamut coverage?

[Manan_Agrawal]

please make an artist review for M2 iPad air with apple pencil pro... also please advice which size to get primarily for indoor use

[chennyye]

it is interesting to see you go to 11 inch, I personally have tried 10.5 and 12.9 iPad Pro, I don't do so much drawing, but because I draw mind map in goodnotes, larger space feels comfortable to form the ideas.

BTW, 11 inch air is 500 nits, only 13 inch air goes to 600 nits.

[GinnyStLawrence]

Fantastic video, thank you! Quick question, which app were you using in the beginning of the video? I noticed the brayer roller tool, which I don’t have in my current program. They have one in Paper 53, but that’s not a capable enough software for me to make most of the art I like to make in. Thanks in advance!!

[psychoboogie]

thanks for sharing, pulled trigger on the pencil tips, feel like it's a crime to put a paper like on the oled.
