2021 iPad Pros Unboxing, Impressions & Initial Comparisons
Paperlike: paperlike.com/dailytekk/
In this video you get to see my initial reaction to both new iPad Pros including the Mini LED Liquid Retina XDR display of the 12.9" iPad Pro. You'll get to see some HDR video comparisons, some graphics testing and Divinity Original Sin 2 iPad gameplay and lots more. Oh, and I'll also show off the new white Magic Keyboards (even giving a quick side-by-side view vs the original black Magic Keyboard). Let's GO!
I made a video on whether the OLD Magic Keyboard fits the NEW iPad Pro: • Tested: NEW iPad Pro W...

Is there a big difference in color and clarity after applying the paper like screen protector?
Yes that’s what I want to know too. I ordered another companies version of it due to not being able to order the 11” original ooerlike and ppl are stating it is different.
@@DarylChangs I used the paper like and if you watch more show/movies I wouldn’t use it if you draw and like to write and like the feel of paper than yes it’s good
Finally the comparison and display I was looking for. Thank you.
I too wonder how much degradation will occur with a Paperlike screen protector on the Liquid Retina XDR panel. It seems counterintuitive to use it on a mini-LED display.
Me: watching this on a very old 4:3 LCD screen with night mode enabled and still going: "WOW I love the new screen!"
@@BleQo true xD
I'm so happy Apple sent you early units. It's about time your iPad content is recognized. I watch and enjoy all of it!
Thanks for the side-by-side, the difference totally shows up - wow. Didn’t see this in other reviews. Love your videos, keep up the great work!
People need to remember that the new screen will only make a difference if the content is actual HDR supported, otherwise no diff in brightness or anything
Except black sections should likely be darker. Not OLED dark, but better than the Liquid Retina.
@@Steve-tf1wv many reviews are pointing out light bleed tho, not very nice if you ask me
That side by side review is 💯
Wow that display comparison is great! Excited to get my 12.9 in 🙌🏽
Love how he is so genuinely happy when he’s talking about the iPad and the magic keyboard! He can’t stop smiling!! 😊😊
Started watching your vids last week. Amazing content you have sir!
Like you can tell Chris is real happy when he legit couldn’t stop smiling 😂😂😂
Great video. You have a wonderful prescence behind the camera and a true radio voice to match. I enjoy the pace of the videos, the use of all the adjectives, and especially the enthusiasm for certain product aspects. I would make one suggestion regarding the 2 gang wall switch that is *sometimes* in view: replace the cover with a screw-less cover plate. Easy to find on Amazon and they take ~2 minutes to swap out. The look would be more cohesive with white Apple products. Great job.
I clicked on the video and instantly liked it been waiting for this video 🔥
Amazing and clear difference in the side-by-side comparison of the screen tech. Thank you for this.
Of all the reviews I have watched today this is the first one where I was able to see a display difference. Definitely Hype for my 12.9 to arrive in a few days! Thanks for all the awesome content.
Oh nice! Glad it was useful then.
Mine arrives this afternoon!
this is awesome....vids are very informative. thanks for your review!!
Now I'm even more excited for my 12.9 to arrive in the next week or two! Great review ❤
Which capacity?
Check your local apple store right now !! The shipping takes until June-july but they’re being shipping into stores today so you can check out an select pick up at store. I’m getting mine today !!
Thanks for the video! Your excitement is infectious 😍 Makes me want to buy one asap!
Haha thanks for watching
Really appreciate that u r comparing the display, it consolidates my decision of preordering the 12.9 one
It is really hard to choose when I really like the smaller size but wants the features in 12.9 one
Indeed...I’m having the same issue..🤦♂️
It’s seriously so hard, like I don’t wanna lug around a giant tablet buuuuuuut the smaller one doesn’t have as many upgrades as last year 😭😭😭
There is a psychology behind.. If you choose the 12.9 iPad, the tendency is it will seem small in the long run. 😅
I have a 2020 11” and I would wait for the mini-LED to come to the 11”, so I would skip the 2021. The smaller form factor is that important to me and making the 11” Pro less of a pro is disappointing.
I’m the same. I much prefer the 11 inch but I just couldn’t pass up on the XDR display. My 12.9 inch 2TB arrives this afternoon. I’m super excited but I’m also a little worried about how difficult it might be to adjust to, especially when in tablet mode.
I'm glad the difference between the two pleasantly surprised so much. That helps reassure that I made the right choice going with the XDR display for the type of work I do. Can't wait for WWDC to announce desktop and pro apps for iPad!
This aged well
I am watching your video on my 2018 iPad Pro - I can see the two brightness. Even the photos look different. Great video - looking forward to the full review.
I know it’s not your main interest but could you go thu’ audio specs for me, do you connect up any external mics for when you make videos - etc. thanks.
i just bought the 2020 11" ipad pro last year, I would love to have that mini LED screen but 12.9 inch is too big for me. Great unboxing! keep up the good work!
finally the vid I have been waiting I tried finding it before and now it is here thanks alot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best video of all iPad Pro reviews that I had watched so far. Looking to buy one, provided that WWDC has announcements about desktop app support.
I cannot wait to get my 12.9 in a week! Ended up getting the Logitech combo touch keyboard instead of the magic so I’m interested to see how they compare 👀 thanks for the great content!
Hope you enjoy it!
None of the other channels have done this comparison so far great video thinking of cancelling my 11 inch order and thinking about 12.9 now
Awesome vid Chris! I’m picking up my 12.9 silver w white mk later on tonight all thanks to YOU!!! ! Being a photographer the M1 chip is huge for me & hopeful RO finally be able to handle full programs & not the light versions!!!🤞🏼Btw Apple is giving me $500 trade-in for my 2020 11” so cannot wait!!!!!
Great vid mate. Sidecar vid would be cool! ✌️🇬🇧
Chris, great video 👍. My 11 inch arrives tomorrow and unlike some famous KZhead reviewer, I could only afford 1 purchase, so I will not be comparing pixels, just enjoying 😆 my new iPad 11 🤪.
I bought Paperlike because of your channel. I do like it. I don’t have to clean it as much and my fingers and pencil don”t slide so much. Thanks for the intel.
This is the best video I’ve come across after 1 week
Out of all the reviews I've watched, this one had the best side by side comparison for photos. Almost all other reviewers said the difference is only visible in HDR videos, but this clearly showed there's a great difference in still photos as well.
Glad it was helpful!
Good video thank you Chris!
Amazing. I can see the difference even in your video! I can hardly wait.
This guy literally became my fav tech youtuber just by his vibe.
Great video, and loving the comparison. I have to say, I do with the 11” had the mini led display, but I’m happy with my decision to downsize to the 11” from my 2018 iPad Pro 12.9. The portability can not be matched.
How best 11 or 12,9 inc
@Tweed Penguin My 11” just came in and I’m wondering why I didn’t buy this the first time around…it’s fantastic!
@Tweed Penguin it’s my daily driver. I have a mid 2012 MacBook Pro that I use for fusion and my slicer software for 3D printing. Literally everything else, like photo editing, video editing and media consumption I use my iPad for.
Hello, love your review, it’s the best one I watched. I watched another review and it was mentioned that there is a big gap between the screen and the glass and you see shadowing around the edges if viewing a white background. Did you notice a big gap?
Cool video, can't wait to get my hands on mine which is coming up next month. Ordered mine few days later with trade-in of my second generation iPad pro due to the new M1 and the new screen. Thanks and will be waiting for your next review.
Very cool
Great video Chris and so interesting to see the screens, side by side. The 12.9 inch screen is miles brighter, but is it perhaps washed out? I noticed the colour of some of the flowers in the same video was very different. One screen made a flower look yellow while the other screen made it appear orange! I wonder which screen gave more accurate colour representation?
The "washed out" effect is just from my cameras... really something that needs to be seen in person!!
Thank you Chris! I’m keeping my 2018 11” iPad Pro 256gb with Cellular
Intro music fricken awesome Chris
Great review 👍🏽
Ngl but Chris always gave me vibes of chandler idk why but it happens to me every single time Great video btw Keep up the great work chandler!!
lol
This is the video I was waiting for. Can’t wait to get my hands on my new iPad Pro
Check your local apple store right now !! The shipping takes until June-july but they’re being shipping into stores today so you can check out an select pick up at store. I’m getting mine today !!
@@JOSHUAGALVANN Can we buy right at the store or order at the store and wait for it to arrive??
@@MrClub08 i woke up early and was lucky to order mine online at the Apple store. An hour later they had no more availability at the store. So it’s like a check every morning thing. Unless you want to wait for June-July delivery.
@@JOSHUAGALVANN Well, I cant do that because I am far away from the city and I'm from India!! Do you have any idea when to buy, I'm literally dying to buy one but there is a lockdown here for a week!! 😓
@@MrClub08 not sure about India man. I’m sorry to here that!
I definitely could tell the difference between the screens and already am wishing I ordered the bigger one. 😩
Same bro... *But 12.9 is way too big and a bit expensive too*... I just settle myself by remembering this😂😂
@@karanpreet8549 I like it! 👍
@@FuryRoadWarrior If we start worrying from the start about the display, then we won't be able to enjoy the iPad... Even though we can't tell the difference between the two if we don't have them side by side
@@karanpreet8549 We are going to regret buying this one when they launch the next one next year. Until then, in between somewhere we will look for a little peace with the device.
Making me wish I had gone with the white! Lol. Great video
I can't stop looking at that thing over your left shoulder. What is it and where can I get one? Great vids mate, new subscriber. Cheers.
BOSS side by side review of the two of them. Thanks for this.
More to come!
@@charlessandor5256 same here, I call BS. Watched tons of videos now, it seems something was done here to put the xdr in a better „light“ 😉
I’m going to be buying an 11” in the next couple months or so to replace my air 2, and I cannot wait! Thank you for making this video!
I am absolutely in LOVE with my white 11” Magic Keyboard for my 2021 iPad Pro. I was worried my iPad Pro Space Grey was going to look weird with the white keyboard, but it actually looks pretty slick. I carry it with me daily, and slide nicely into my purse, definitely way more portable than my old 12.9” 2020 iPad Pro + Magic Keyboard. I was concerned going to the 11” would feel like a downgrade, but if anything, I use it more because I take it with me everywhere. Speaking honestly, there is nothing that compares to the Magic Keyboard when it comes to replicating the feel of a hybrid laptop. Yes, it’s not Mac OS but it’s definitely a great portable option to your daily computing needs depending on your usage. I am still in the market for a new laptop, but I’m waiting for the rumoured 2022 MacBook Air, and then I’ll have the perfect ecosystem for my needs.
Awesome review.! Congratulations!
Thanks for watching
It came through in the video I can’t wait to get my hands on that one terabyte 12.9
Great video of iPad Pro 12.9 keep up good work
Those iPads look great, just can't decide which one to get. I love the screen on the 12.9 inch model, but I prefer the size of the 11 inch model. Great video, and thanks for sharing.
Which did you end up getting and why? Im struggling to decide right now lol
I do have to say.... WOW! That screen is very good and you definitely can tell a difference thru the cameras. Now then, that magic keyboard color is not something that I personally would choose however it does look good, it looks like the white has a bit of a grey color to it that kind of pulls down that sharp white.
Finally!!! An ipad video that compares the 2 sizes.
Great video! I’m even more excited now. My iPad made it to Korea and will be here Friday! 🙌🏻🎉
Mine is supposed to be here Friday as well but the UPS tracking does not show international updates. Is yours coming UPS or FedEx and if UPS how are you able to track? ... thank you in advance
Mine says it'll be here Friday too but idk where it is right now 🤔
@@prayertool I saw someone else recommend the app/website Parcels/Packages on iOS or the website Univeral Parcels tracking. Mine is coming UPS as well but they’re not giving the detailed location. That other app and website will; just put in your UPS tracking #
@@bridgetkozlow8410 THANK YOU SO MUCH! The universal parcels is excellent and had great detail. iPad is in Kentucky at this time. That is so nice to know!
@@F1Fanatic76 check the universal parcels site and enter your tracking number. I bet that will help you
Thank you very much for sharing
Thanks nice job Chris‼️👍
You bet
Thanks for actually showing a side by side comparison, especially of the screen And not posting clickbait
Yeah!
Hey can you try out the new Logitech case for 12.9 iPad 2020 with the old version I would like to see if there is a huge difference there
Does the paper like screen addon not interfere with the awesome screen. I can imagine that it will make the screen a bit duller and less bright. Lover your enthusiasm by the way... Bought one for my wife the 12.9 inch version and will buy myself one too.😄
Sorry I got distracted but I want that moving statue behind you! I know it's NOT a statue but I AM on here to watch your unboxing post. 😂😃
Please review the logitech combo touch for the 12.9 iPad Pro. The Magic keyboard is just too exp
That difference is bigger than I was expecting. Can't wait for my M1 12.9 to get here!
This is a killer video, Chris! Straight fire. I got the 2020 model only a month before the M1 model launched, so I’m pretty disappointed about that, but enjoy your new iPad ;)
Usually within a month you can send it back and exchange for the new one… talk to support and see!
@@Dailytekk Can I still do that if I used it already?
@@taniamubaslat4080 of you have it for less than a month, you can! At least in the Nederlands..
@@sil5592 Wow, thanks! This really made my day.
@@taniamubaslat4080 no problem! have fun with your iPad Pro!
as a graphic designer.. i really love to work on this ipad man... i wish.. i will have this some day..!! look really awspme..!!
AAAAHHH CAN'T WAIT MINE COMES IN ON MONDAY AND TOMORROW'S MY BIRTHDAY I'M SO HYPED OH MY GOD
Happy birthday 🎈🎉
Congrats 🎉
HBD!
Tysm guys 🤪
♉️ GANG HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉🎈
OMGGG I‘MM SO EXITEDDDD
ME TOOOO! AAH!
Awesome video!! But what is thst really cool thing behind you that keeps spinning?? Info please!!!
From this vantage point (viewing your video with a nice monitor connected to a MacBook Air), I prefer the brightness/contrast of the smaller (11in?) iPad. It's more mellow, I can discern the details of the flowers more easily.
I’ve been looking forward to this one! Nice to see the side by side comparison between the black and white Magic Keyboards! That white one does look good. The screen on the 12.9” iPad Pro 😍 Great video Chris!
How best 11 or 12,9 inc
COME ON MAN! Why you have to be so good at what you do!?!? 😆 Just watched the 12.9” magic keyboard video and was like “ok ill save some money and buy the old one”🤷🏾♂️ now I watch this video and can resist the white one as I am meticulous with everything I own and now I have to get it 🙋🏾♂️Thanks, there goes more money to apple🤦🏾 excellent video as usual 👍🏾 thanks 🤩
Hi chris, would u say the 12.9 display is better than the iPhone 12 pro?
You are the best tech reviewer!!!
Wow, thanks!
So cool thanks love the video
Do you put a screen on the IPad Pro? Question for new owner if 11” Pro. I want it to take with daily, use and take pictures. Should I get a screen protection or Apple protection? Also smart folio or a magic keyboard? Or something else? Thanks for the advise.
This guy is a good salesmen, my 12.9 arrives next week.
Bummed I couldn’t find the paperlike screen protector for my 11”, I was super stoked to use the original so I went with another companies version of it.
Thanks Chris.. I’m waiting to hold my 12.9 inch iPad Pro WiFi plus cellular variant... love the space grey colour... come soon to India 🇮🇳
Thank you for this exciting review! Please could you in your next videos show a comparison of the number of layers on Procreate for the different RAM? Thanks again!!
Great suggestion! Thanks
Can you do a battery life comparison video
Amazing video! I can’t believe the contrast and difference between the two displays. 😍 I simply can’t decide which color to get for both the iPad and the keyboard 😅 please help by telling me which you got and why!
Hey Kelly! I made a whole vid on which one I ordered recently (just a few vids back)...
Upgrading from a iPad I don’t remember what generation it is that old it is…this iPad Pro will be a big jump for me. I can’t wait to receive mines in the mail.
What size did you get?
Thanks! Could you please do a comparison btwn iPad Pro 12.9 2020 & 2021 especially for photographers?
More reviews and comparisons incoming!
@@Dailytekk will be waiting for that.
I need somebody to run a star field test on this thing. That’s the one test I wanna see.
Absolutely Flawless
I’m thinking I should’ve gone for the 12.9 but budget and size was my priority. I think you were pretty excited 😉😮👌😎 fred
Right. The 12.9 will just be too large for my daily driver .. 🤦♀️
If you put a glass screen protector on an iPad, can you use paper lite over the glass? Will the pencil still work? Can you take off the paper lite on and off?
Please do a comparison between these both and the Macbook Pro M1 13"! I've just got a Macbook for work and I need another display, so not sure which one to go for! Cheers from the UK! 🇬🇧
Great idea - more comparison videos in the works.
Come on Friday! Ready to compare this new iPad to my 2018!
Huge size is different! Glad I went for the 12.9
I'm here, let's see what you got for me. Oh can you do a battery test on both?
More comparison vids in the works!
I got my first 2020 iPad Pro 12.9 inch last year. I was typically an Air buyer or base model iPad buyer. the 12.9 display is really difficult to turn back from. I have an Air 4th Gen as a secondary device and it is just not the same (as great as it is). the 2021 12.9 Pro just looks like another animal.
I have the 12.9 iPad Pro and i love mine,i had the 11 it was too small for me
Know that you use Paperlike screen protectors on your iPad Pros. Considering getting it to protect my screen but worried it will dull screen and mute colors after it is applied. Bought 12.9” mini-LED iPad Pro for better/brighter screen so don’t want to loose that. Do a lot of drawing in Procreate so a little worried that screen will be scratched or damaged with constant Apple Pencil use. Can you please do a video or talk about how much the Paperlike screen protector changes the screen view and quality of the picture. Thanks
Hi, is the BLACK/GREY version of the Magic Keyboard of Ipad pro 11, the same as the last year? Everybody talks about the white version, but I wanted to know if the grey/black version had some update or is the exactly the same?
Hi Chris, I mainly do photo editing may be once or twice a month for clients, I am thinking about getting the 11 inch because it is smaller and cheaper but will getting the 12.9 benefit me for photo editing ?
Mine arrives tomorrow
With the new ability to add peripherals could you use an external webcam ?
