After 5 years of plateau... the iPad Pro and iPad Air will finally be getting some substantial updates. Rumors talk about an iPad Pro M4 with a newish design, thinner chassis, new Apple Pencil and probably a new keyboard accessory. This is all exciting speculation, but in this video I talk more about why 2024 lines up as the year we can at the very least expect some big changes coming to the product line. Apple has had a lot to fix since 2018, and they've since did it with Apple Silicon Macs and phones since iPhone 11 Pro. On top of that, they just announced Vision Pro, which no doubt took R&D resources away from the iPad product category... which is why I'm saying - it's FINALLY the iPads time to shine!

Tim being Tim, I wouldn't get your hopes too high. The biggest enemy to iPads are till MacBooks. We've been through this countless times, what's different this time?
we'll have to see what this event and WWDC have in store ;)
Guaranteed there will be minimal changes… would love them to be Improved though
real ipad pro is too young like 2018 start. laptops are decades old like 1980s
No hardware upgrade can convince me to upgrade from my M1 Pro without a major iPadOS revamp
Love my M1 Pro iPad but this new one coming with m3\4 with oled display will be a game changer, 🎉
@@MotkiAlanTannen-ko7rk why?
Oled display
@@MotkiAlanTannen-ko7rk ok, but how is that a gamechanger? What will it enable you to do what you can’t do now? Watching content without slightly grey bezels?
I guess you can say that about all Apple Products then 😂new keyboard design better faster m3/m4 and oled display for clearer picture quality when streaming online
Everyone knows the iPad is limited by its operating system. Apple has made us waited for 7 long years and it still can't replace most people's computer. In 2017, Apple came up with the "What's a computer" ad. In 2019, Apple announced they were going to separate iPadOS from iOS. In 2021, the M1 iPad Pro came out. In 2022, people thought, with the power of the M1 chip, Apple must be cooking something new for the iPad. In 2024, Apple decided to host an event in May solely for the iPad. I really hope 2024 will be the year the iPad will not just be an iPad but a laptop replacement for most people.
Just posted a 5 min video on this yesterday haha my thoughts exactly
Why would Apple want to help you replace a laptop with an ipad when they also sell macbooks?? They want to sell you an ipad and a macbook
@@confusedwarrior4495 People who desire this clearly have little, if any business intelligence. Can you imagine how quickly Tim Cook would be shown the door if he reported to Apple’s shareholders that he decreased the company’s revenue by making it so that people no longer had to buy MacBooks?
@@operabrotha5208 business intelligence ? who cares .it’s Apple’s problem not the customers. Apple advertised this a laptop replacement , literally still use words like “desktop class” on their website , people actually paid MacBook price for iPad pros. don’t u think it’s reasonable people expect their iPads to work as a laptop or at least similar to laptops?
@@noah-j00 So many have claimed “Apple advertised this as a MacBook replacement” yet so far no one has produced even ONE example of Apple EXPLICITLY saying “iPad can replace your MacBook” in any of its marketing materials. “Desktop class” is not a proof. Apple is indicating that iPad Pro is powerful enough to be a laptop SUBSTITUTE for those on the go, and a laptop ALTERNATIVE for people who find traditional desktop OS’s complicated and intimidating.
The iPad is already an amazing system. The only thing holding it back is Apple itself. They purposely make the software bad to not cannibalize Mac sales. I hate to be that guy, but Steve’s Apple would never do that. They would go all in on the iPad, and Tim’s Apple just doesn’t do that. What I’m saying is, I don’t really have high hopes.
I tend to grab my iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard first while my MacBook Air sits in my bag. The iPad Pro OS along with the keyboard is far faster and versatile in more ways. The MacBook Air or any laptop is a fine desktop replacement, but limits and unnecessarily lengthens what should be quick tasks. Because the iPad uses apps that are lightening fast, while being simpler to navigate, multitasking on the go is a breeze compared to navigating online desktop based applications. Pair that with the touchscreen, pencil, quick gestures of the Magic Keyboard and the super fast internal hardware, the iPad Pro is hard to beat. You only get boxed in by company software that is limited to online application and incompatible or unsupported at this time. Even those experiences are so few and far between. I'm looking forward to screen and internal advancements, but what I want to see more than anything is a battery that rivals the MacBook Air. The iPad Pro was lasting all day with pretty heavy usage for years and now it suddenly barely lasts 4 hours. Even when idle or off.
even now, watching this video and typing this comment took 10% of my MacBook Air on low power mode. Nothing else running. Very odd.
@@BA-gq4uwJust curious, how old is your MBA? Maybe the battery is aging? Seriously, just curious because that shouldn’t be happening.
@@KryptonianAI less than a year old. M2 Mackbook Air bought June 2023
@@BA-gq4uw Wow. Thats’s crazy! I was thinking of picking up a MBP this year to compliment my iPad but reluctant because I have the 2021 M1 Pro and pretty much use it for everything. It’s a beast to be sure and is the main reason I haven’t picked up a Mac book. Great battery. Versatile. I hope you get your battery issue figured out. 😃
@@KryptonianAI I do think that this has been a software issue. The one thing I've really loved about my MBA has been its insane battery life. Only after this last update have I seen this odd decline. I rolled back to the last version of Mac OS and things seem fine again. I definitely recommend any Mackbook. Air or Pro. Incredible machines and compliment the iPad Pro very well.
What is the matte screen protector on the iPad in this video? Looks great
What case using for iPad mini
The 120 hertz refresh rate came to iPad Pro 10.5 first time, not in 2018 iPad pro
i know but still, def was an important feature with the 3rd gen :)
How many unread emails do you have? It seems to be over 20,000 looking at your ipad!!
Great video. I’m glad to see you excited, it’s obvious you love the iPad. But do not get carried away with the hype and tea leaves this time. The leaks and rumors can heighten expectations so unrealistically, they leave you disappointed and angry with what Apple actually releases. Once Apple released the AVP, I could see why many iPad features seemed so strange and out of left field. I’m not sure what future Apple has planned for the iPad, it might be the iPad-AVP teaming not the iPad-Mac merging everyone predicted.
i promise i'm not really paying attention to the leaks. i'm more so considering the sort of process of elimination when it's come to revamping a few categories and creating a whole new one :)
@@NoahHerman 🤗😘
the real question is, how many km/h (or m/ph) was the wind in your room? (also, love your vids)
Pls do iPad Pro 2018 vs iPad 9 performance and gaming test
I am so looking forward to it.
The fact that we didn’t get any meaningful improvements to fully unleash the potential of iPad Pro since the major rebrand from iOS to iPadOS in 2019 is just INSANE…
Unless they change it up to more like a Surface Computer type OS…. There is no point in getting any new ipads
Surface Pro sales are in decline, and if it was made by Samsung, it would probably be abandoned. No idea why Apple would think that is anything but a bad idea. History has proven that desktop tablets are a terrible idea, and MS's gambling on them was an utter failure, with very few Windows OEMs now making any. Tablets are tablets; if that is not for you, buy something else.
@@andyH_England I don't care if it's in decline. What we're wanting is more functionality in these ipads. You stick a M chip in there, it better do more than what we have been doing with the ipads for the past 10 years.
@@redesignedlife777it's business. sales decline matters where to invest. iPad to macbooks... is like the apple watch to iPhone. But who knows...mac OS and iPad OS is nice...But Apple will charge us more than owning separately. Apple will more likely activate mac OS if you bug an expensive Magic keyboard PRO.
@@andyH_England don’t you think it’s reasonable people expect their iPad to work same way or at least similar way to laptops after they pay Macbook pro-price for their iPad pros with keyboard while Apple advertised this with the words like desktop level chips,laptop replacement , Laptop like performance etc…?
@@noah-j00 No, people understand that a tablet and a laptop are fundamentally different, like the Galaxy Book4 Pro and the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. The Ultra does not run desktop Windows apps, which it could easily handle. Why are you making rules for Apple but not for other OEMs? Neither Samsung nor Apple does that because a hybrid is compromising, and as MS proved, it's a highway to hell; "mistakes are not a problem but not learning from them is".
I dont know what exactly apple events are, does that mean ipad will release on that day?
How will the M4 Ai chip be fully utilized w/ipadOS 😢
AI has little to do with the CPU and GPU; it will be the new neural engine, and what Apple can do with that is I expect we will see on-device AI, and these will be added over time.
Will there be a new iPad mini?
no that'll come later this year i think
iPad Pro feels much more relevant compared to when I use my mac. Nothing beats the touchscreen experience of the 120hz display. I use it for AR much more so than I thought. Trying out sunglasses 🕶️ through AR. Placing furniture in my room. And the 5G UC is amazing. And just got a VESA desk mount to drive an external keyboard and trackpad for my ergonomics. It’s still that good. Then I just take the tablet in my backpack weighing 1.4lb. Very light without the keyboard. Apple needs to fix audio for iPad Pro. Reading articles have autoplay videos and stops my music or ambient sounds on KZhead. Not cool Apple. And I love your passion for the iPad, Noah. It’s so refreshing and new to use compared to the good old mac in more ways.
bruh i haven't watched Noah Herman in a while, and when I returned he is 90 years old! Still love your beautiful smile outro th0. Hope you can make a full review of it in the next video! Your gorgeous pulchitrudinous smile, that is! ❤
OLED NEW Apple Pencil features Ready to go Pro software Centerstage Camera Better front back cameras Thinner New Design But must have software for creators & productivity
Decent video but i have a few thoughts. First i wouldnt say they started experimenting with the 2018 model ipad pro rather the second gen 2017 when they introduced 120hz and the lightning port was faster. I also think a lot of KZhead tech reviewers want the iPad to have Mac OS and replace their MacBooks, which i just don't agree with. I do think apple is at fault for getting lost in the sauce trying to make the ipad a worse computer than a mac and instead leaning into the niche things iPads do better whether it be media consumption and book reading on the mini, and the larger ipads being more suitable for artists and notetaking/productivity. I see the ipad pros more akin to the expensive Chromebooks google made years ago that were like $1400. Luxury hardware that wasn't needed for chrome os. Also given that the cheapest ipad is the highest selling one i believe that reinforces my argument. I think they should consolidate the ipad line, make the air the new ipad "base" model, have the mini as the slightly cheaper option and have the two pro models. But those are my thoughts.
i have the ipad 12.9 M2 SO i think im good for 5 years
Do real use pro m4 vs pro m1 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I bought the iPad Pro 1 week ago was it worth it? 😭
How long do you have to return it? Maybe you can still return it after the event if they announce worthy upgrades?
@@SneetchDreams 3 weeks now but idk bcs I heared the new ipad will cost 1.500 so should I just keep the ipad?
@@SneetchDreams I have it 2 weeks not but idk if I should return it bcs the new ipad is so much more expensive
I’ve got a 16 inch Mac Pro and still want a iPad Pro. It’s great as a 2nd monitor. Let’s not forget the iPad mini is a parents godsend so it’s not going anywhere.
Ipados should have the same kernel and machinary as MacOS. Only the UI should be different.
Everywhere I see a lot of people complaining about that the iPadOS is limiting... just buy a Mac instead (?!). The iPad is great for average consumers who only want a handy device for consuming. It's also great for artists, students doing notes etc. I could of course be wrong but I feel like people who want the iPad to change isn't even using the touch screen and apple pencil, so just use a Mac instead... 🙈
I’m trying to get excited and actually care about the iPad Pro launch. OLED would be nice. Landscape orientation on the FaceTime camera would be nice. But without an iPadOS revamp, I don’t know if I’ll care enough to give Apple more of my money. My M2 11 Pro is working just fine.
Any device isn't ment to be updated/purchased yearly. Technology doesn't advance hugely annually, very VERY rarely it might. But generally speaking every 5 years is a worth while upgrade.
3:31 that doesn’t look airline safe
I think macos will come to apple silicon ipads.
I still like my Ipad Pro M1 12.9". I really don't need the M4. All I use mine for is reading books, magazines and viewing KZhead Videos. Everybody is talking about the AI. I admit I don't understand the AI. I wonder how much they are going to charge for the M4 versus the original M3?
The M2 iPad Pro got 6E. Hopefully the M4 gets WiFi 7
bro if they release an iPad Pro with new colors and a 5% reduction in bezel size , it will be a Game Changer! oh boy 🎉🎉
A lot of KZhead videos lately just seem like fluff. Creators making a video just to get a video out. Step it up bro you have over 237k subscribers but not because of content like this.
iPad Mini 7!!!!!
The software still the same. Change hardware does not change the software experience with this device
It is a tablet, and as iPad Pros make up only about 15% of all iPads sold, it is a niche market. That compounds why developers of third-party software are interested in something other than pro apps. It also explains why Apple has said it will never put macOS on the iPad Pros. I am sure Apple will improve their software, but it is up to devs to make iPadOS software, not Apple.
As the iPad now uses the same chips as the Mac, I can’t see why software for Mac cannot be run on the iPad, even if only operable with keyboard and trackpad interface for which it was designed. A lot of Pro users use software in their work which is just not made for iPadOS, so we can’t travel with just one device if it is the iPad Pro. That limits it usefulness to just a subsidiary device. It does not matter, what Apple does to the iPad hardware if it is software limited. So for myself, the iPadOS will have to have this macOS capability for me to go to the expense and bother of updating from my 2021 M1 iPad Pro which is quite fast enough for iPadOS as it is now and I have no trouble with the display or design either. I have jumped off the upgrade escalator and will only now upgrade if the new device brings something useful to my life.
@@Jonathantuba macOS is not a touch UI, which was the issue with Windows Tablets. Apple will not mess with macOS to please a tiny niche user base that wants this. It is a waste of time and money, and obviously, MS's failure is a warning to them to not repeat history.
personally, idc how pretty the new iPads look or oled screen, camera placement, new pencil, etc etc.....if it still runs iPad OS the same and the hardware still cost that much I will never buy another iPad besides the mini again.
Only thinner because of OLED and no backlight...
the gaga moment i swear to god PURE CINEMA
We need beter apps, full flat MacOS Blender would be ace.... Photoshop, Unity, Rider, XCode would be fabulous. I'd be in. Any MacOS should come to M1 + iPads, or at least M2.
All these “don’t get your hopes up bro” comments lmao 😂 but fr I can’t wait for an 11” pro 😭 plz Tim teh apple gawd can we make it happen
As I always say the iPad Pro lineup does not make any sense because of the shitty OS. Why woul someone buy an iPhone with larger screen?
Over half a billion people have bought an iPad (2020 data, so likely many more now), so my question is, why did you ask such a nonsensical question when the evidence is clearly contradictory. Why, you ask, because thankfully, not everyone thinks the same as you.
Draw
because everything is better on a larger screen
They could use an M100 instead of an M4, but if they still use iPhone software on iPads, it's just a test of the customers' intelligence! Having the price and weight (with the pencil and Magic Keyboard) as well as the performance of a MacBook Pro laptop, while using iPhone software (incorrectly called "iPad OS"), is merely a test of intelligence for customers who don't think for themselves. Apple has a historic opportunity to save the iPad (Pro) by allowing MAC OS (or some version of it) on the iPad, and if they don't do it now, it will be a big disappointment and the downfall of the iPad!
I am not expecting very much. I think the new iPad Pro hardware will be amazing, other than being too thin. But both the iPad Pro and Vision Pro have the same problem that turn them into Apples most pointless and overpriced products, iPad OS. iPad OS is the reason Vision Pro can't do very much, and iPad OS ensures the iPad Pro will never be a laptop replacement. iPad OS cripples the iPad Pro's amazing technical capabilities to be little more than an oversized iPhone in a wall garden of mostly mediocre smart apps. iPad OS 17 even made it more difficult to side load apps. And what is Apple's obsession with trying to make everything so thin? You think they would have learnt something from the butterfly keyboard saga. If Apple sell enough 13-inch iPad Pros, we may end up with buckle gate ... press too hard on the iPad Pros display with the Apple stylus and if the chassis is not supported by a folio cover to remove the camera bump height offset, you risk bending the chassis! I will be replacing my M1 2TB 12.9-inch iPad Pro and magic keyboard with a Windows 11 arm Tablet with Snapdragon X Elite processor. I have now been using Windows 11 arm daily for the past 15 months, and it feels like a real desktop class OS for grownups, unlike iPad OS. I totally agree with you that the iPad Mini 6 is an excellent device, where iPad OS is a good fit, and the next gen iPad Mini is the only iPad I would consider purchasing again.
I don't care about oled or AI. Give me a real OS
Does anyone buy iPads anymore? Isn't it just an iPhone pro ultra?
