The fact that Apple made an iPad more powerful than most PCs but still can't design a simple calculator app for it yet is insanely mind boggling

[anhleng]

This is such an honest review. People need to see how troublesome it is with the operating system when it comes to daily tasks, regardless of how powerful the new iPad is.

This is why I like Arun, he doesn't review a product, he reviews the experience. Sure it's fast, great camera, sweet features and this and that... But actually using it is a different experience. Wish more tech tubers would use this approach

6:03 If you go to settings > accessibility > pointer control and then turn off ‘pointer animations’ it will make it more of an actual curser instead of a “blob”

[noone-ldpt]

I saw someone put it very succinctly:
Pro: "the MOST POWERFUL tablet ever"
Con: "the most powerful TABLET ever"

Rick Astley at the corner of face time is CRAZY.

9:30 - I’m watching this video on my iPad on a plane and this made me realize that my pencil fell off of my iPad into the seat crevice

Apple 9 days later: Here's a calculator, but with better features than a calculator

[AllgoodthingsTv]

This was a really good video because you thoroughly explained all of the idiosyncrasies and handicaps of the iPad OS in trying to accomplish daily tasks we take for granted on a Macbook. Glad I didn't drop 2K for one of these.

[solitarydaddy]

Not gonna lie he had us in this first half with making us believe the machine was perfect.

I've lived and seen this cycle many times. You switch over to the iPad Pro as main device and it feels amazing, and freeing. It's a revelation. Slowly you start running into issues, but you find workarounds or put up with them. There is software and games you can't run, but you push that out of your mind and rationalise that you don't need that software or don't want to play those games anymore. And finally you snap, and go back to your normal computer that just fucking works, and lets you run anything you want, and you're right back where you started a year or two ago.

The iPad Pro is a fantastic luxury tablet and once you make peace with that and use it for what it is, you enjoy it so much more.

finally a review that says a lot more than any other reviews and I've watched dozens of them and none of them reviewed it like you did - everyone else spoke about battery, oled screen, thickness, and pencil - but none of them spoke about using it and what works and what doesn't. Thank you! this made my subscribe to your channel after watchning your videos for more than 2 years

This was by far the most well rounded and least click baity videos I've seen as of late. You have described PERFECTLY, how this isn't a mac, it shouldn't be a mac, but can still behave more like a full fledged computer if only a few things were implemented. I would argue there could be a few more, but not egregiously so and it would end up being vastly better overall for portability than a macbook for most scenarios.

MKBHD and you, are the last breed of real reviewers. The other guys are just clapping at everything to get an Apple invite to the keynotes. Very well done.

[theelfilippo]

So basically it's exactly what you should expect from an apple product- good, but not good enough to replace the more expensive option even if it could

[RaniRani-zttr]

best channel ever,
100% honest, direct and just straight
please continue and you have already PASSED APPLE IN SUBSCRIBERS SO CONGRATS

[journoreacts]

Have watched dozens of iPad Pro reviews throughout the years and this is by far the most helpful! Going to save my money and stick with my MacBook Air and standard iPad. Thanks boss!

[dylreesYT]

This was extremely well detailed. I wouldn't say you're able to talk about every single issue with every single person but this was an incredibly good review and I hope people at Apple are able to see it and are allowed to address these issues. Thanks Arun!

I've been Using Tab S9 Ultra since like 6 months as an alternative to my main laptop and would really love to add that almost all of the problems shown in this video doesn't even exist there. It's been really smooth and more helpful transition to tab from Laptop. Would love seeing you try that and give a review or at least comparison of these problems in it.

I made my iPad Pro my "leave the house" computer about 2 years ago, that lead to a Mac desktop that had more power for less money sitting where my old MacBook Pro used to sit. As always great work, keep it up!
