E-waste comment is golden
Well, by making their products 100% recyclable, there IS no e-waste. You can simply hand in your old device on your way to purchase their latest and greatest new device + all new accessories. I guess they could have also made their devices easily upgradeable so they are a one-time purchase and last way longer, but where's the money in that? Apple's gotta Apple.
It really sums up Apple as a whole right there alone.
@@banziblar6815the greenest thing they make is the APPL stock market value.
The fact that I can’t use my current Apple Pencil is the most ridiculous… Apple is starting to frustrate me more and more.
That part 🗣
@@StreetzCallin1you have everyone clamoring for landscape FaceTime cameras to thank for the pencil incompatibility. To keep the camera there and to allow the pencil to charge, they had to move the magnets. They don’t align anymore
Yeah
If you've been watching Hugh Jefferys like I have, you'd been more frustrated with them already by now.
@@DaveCummings76 You'd think they would've had the right idea to move those magnets over to there the camera USED to be instead of keeping it where it has been. It would've made more sense instead of screwing over the userbase like this.
I wonder about the future of iPad, especially considering there seems to be very little competent competition.
I would guess because the competition is not "a tablet": It is the microsoft surface line. Which I go to every time instead of an ipad, since I can't do things I have to do, on an ipad. If it would allow me to use an iPad for that, I would love to buy even a very expensive one. Since this means I can carry less stuff with me and I get some apps, that I really use like Procreate and others. Right now it's just not possible because you are not "just an artist using procreate", not an "videographer using final cut". My argument would be that the competition is seen wrong - it's windows machines, from asus and microsoft that you buy instead of an ipad since you can do all your work with it. maybe some parts not as efficient or "fun" with an ipad, but you can do them all. With an iPad you can't and thats the reason why I still prefer a windows laptop with a pen input screen.
@@samvieten7224not just windows but Macs.
Snapdragon is soon to destroy Apple's monopoly on ultra-light form factor. Apple will launch a 2-in-1 iPad Pro or Ultra. As the video says, hardware is not just peaked but gone overkill while software is lagging so far behind it's missing basic desktop features found in 90s computers. That can't last.
Could you believe this is straight from their website when you click to learn more. "What matters to you matters to Apple, too. From using more recycled materials that minimize environmental impact." I guess they don't care enough about the environment to make your old stuff compatible. Also, these guys are intentionally using the keywords "100 percent" and "recycled" in the same sentence to try to make it as likely as possible to misread, i.e. "... that uses 100 percent recycled aluminum in the enclosure." You know what's even better than 100 percent recycled. Being able to use your old stuff.
Feel free to simply ignore the iPad Pro and buy a 9th generation iPad for $250 or 10th generation for $350. I am pretty sure that 90%+ of people will be more than satisfied with these.
Apple used to have refurbished iPad Pro 2020 for like $509. Brand new battery, same chassis.
I suspect most iPad owners would get by with the cheapest iPad. I suspect many users only use 3-4 apps at a time. And as for speed… You can’t read email any faster, watch Netflix any faster, watch KZhead any faster unless pressed for time, can’t listen to music at quadruple speed… we’re limited by biology as much as by software.
Software restrictions make any hardware changes irrelevant. Damn you Apple.
Y’know another thing that frustrates me? They want you to buy both an iPad and a MacBook to satisfy the needs of both. They have a program called sidecar that produces near lagless, high quality streaming to the iPad. Which could essentially eliminate the need for a cintiq for artists. But they completely flubbed the pen pressure with it. So drawing anything meaningful is near impossible. If it worked as good as a cintiq, I would consider getting a MacBook, but instead it just makes me want to get a surface instead instead of having to get two more devices if I wanted to use professional animation software
not only that, imagine the usecase: Traveling with a macbook and ipad. You often have the problem of not really having a stable connection and settings everything up with wires etc. instead of "just go" for the moment is a huge factor. It's not really a good solution, also you carry all that stuff with you while traveling for month,... I got tired of it and stopped using the macbook and ipad.
@@samvieten7224 yeah, I’d rather the iPad just have better software, but just thinking realistically about what they want the iPad to be. They could’ve done a much better job
I am moving to windows too
Nobody is forcing you to buy something. I understand your perspective, but let's wait for WWDC 2018. I'm confident that Apple will implement features like pen pressure if the experience is great. Windows attempted to create a hybrid touch OS, but the experience was subpar. They took a different approach, which is acceptable. However, Apple strives for more than just 'okay.' It's important to remember that both Windows and macOS have evolved over 40 years, so it will also take some time for iPadOS to reach a point where the majority agrees: 'That's it! That's how iPadOS should be!' Every device has its strengths, and people should focus on those strengths. You mentioned that if they implemented a feature like this, you wouldn't buy a Cintiq; you would just buy a MacBook. Personally, I enjoy working on larger screens, so if they incorporated a 27-inch display into the MacBook, I wouldn't need an external monitor. Additionally, I appreciate having a portable mini-computer that fits in my pocket. If the MacBook could shrink to that size, I'd replace my iPhone Pro Max. Do you understand what I mean? Some things aren't meant to be because the experience would suffer. My setup consists of an iMac 27", iPad Pro 11" (with Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil), and iPhone 15 Pro Max. That's what works for me. I've tried various MacBooks in different sizes, but they didn't suit my needs.
This video is great. Couldn’t have said it better myself. Well done.
It’s also the reason Apple will not make a touch-screen laptop.
Or an iPhone compatible pencil.
it was boring to be worry every year for some old features that Apple is not added for Ipad or phone . just got samsung tablet s9 and phone (s23 ultra) and never regraded . btw samsung have touch screen laptop too .
@crBudgetWatches my tablet s pen works with my phone, and my phone's s pen also works with my tablet. the good thing is S pen works with previous tablets and folds too
if they make new ipad run mac os + ipad os I am gonna tattoo the apple logo on my forehead
This. Totally this.
Not going to happen
It’s like a mullet!! lol.. I’ve got the M1 iPad Pro and I really don’t understand how such an over powered device couldn’t handle a more fleshed out OS. Apple has no real direction other than to sell you a product you don’t really need but has just enough to persuade you into buying it. Recently I was debating a new Mac Laptop and decided on getting a Linux machine instead.. I already have a super powerful Mac Pro desktop and an older laptop that is still performing well.. Apple also is iterating through these processors with like no parallel software to utilize it.
Same here. I was excited over mini LED. Media consumption was marginally better but not worth the upgrade. The thunderbolt port is barely functional especially when clumsily connected to a dock. File transfers suck. Jobs would never have produced a device Thais over engineered compared to the utility it offers
Are they really tho? Apple has been refining the direction of its products, including the M4 iPad, which offers impressive performance. However, the need for a new device ultimately depends on individual use cases. If someone doesn't have a specific need that aligns with the features of a newer model, it's not Apple's fault-it's simply a matter of personal requirements. The latest advancements in features like the new Apple Pencil or the M4 chip cater to specific professional workflows, such as art creation, music recording, or live editing, which may not apply to everyone. Apple's direction with the iPad seems focused on catering to these niche markets, providing powerful tools for professionals in various fields. Those who find themselves drawn to the latest tech without a genuine need for it may wrongly attribute their dissatisfaction to the company. Instead, it's essential to assess whether the device meets one's needs and whether investing in a newer model would genuinely enhance productivity or creativity. Ultimately, it's about understanding one's usage patterns and making informed decisions rather than blaming external factors for personal preferences or financial constraints.
Commenting from my M1 IPad Pro lol
yep
Bro idk why your channel isn’t bigger. The content is great and I’m definitely impressed with the editing. Keep it up my guy you killing it!
Turns out a video about the iPad does better than photography content haha. Thanks for the support!
Exactly the same thoughts, owner of m1 ipad pro.... totally agree with every single things you said in the video
The iPad Pro is undeniably a powerful device, but it's essential to assess whether it aligns with your needs and budget. For the majority of users, the standard iPad or the iPad Air offer functionality that meets their requirements. It's common for individuals to blame the device when it doesn't fit their usage patterns or financial constraints. However, before rushing to purchase the latest model, it's crucial to evaluate whether your current iPad fulfills your needs adequately. Unless your current device no longer serves its purpose or you've outgrown its capabilities, upgrading may not be necessary. The iPad Air, for instance, provides ample functionality for most users without the need for the advanced features of the Pro. Ultimately, it's about recognizing your usage patterns and resisting the allure of shiny new gadgets. The iPad Pro isn't lost-it's just not the right fit for everyone. Consider your needs carefully and make an informed decision, ensuring you invest in a device that enhances your productivity and meets your requirements effectively.
This intro was incredible bro! Keep going!
Great video! I really like your editing but if there was one thing I'd have to say, it would be that the audio mix was a bit weird. imo, the music was a bit too loud, but aside from that, I loved it!
Noted!
Nice video, thank you man
Love the style of your video. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much!
Yeah. I just started editing for my videos. And all the iPad makes me feel while using their version of davinci. Is want their laptop as well. Which is frustrating because it’s cool having a portable powerful M2 iPad that can edit. And use procreate, but it just always feels like it’s missing those elements that you perfect described in this video. You’re always caught between. This works enough and I’m impressed with what it can do, but I want the laptop, but the laptop I can’t afford. So I’m stuck with the iPad. Weird experience.
Great video. Subscribed :D
Hey, thanks!
Simple facts. Great video.
Thank you for saying God bless!
Yes agree with you...
Oh yeah and good luck on youtube. This was a great video. The best one I’ve seen on the topic yet. From another creator. Wish you the best!
awesome video presentation... can't wait to see your channel rise skyhigh
As an artist I’m very excited,finally amazing screen to draw on plus all new features for apple pen 🖊️ 😊
I purchased my new m2 iPad Pro 11 inch last year along with the Apple Pencil 2nd and the Magic Keyboard. The Apple Pencil pro, the landscape camera and the new Magic Keyboard is cool. But seeing as I also have an 16 inch m3 max MacBook Pro. I think I will still to my schedule of upgrading my iPad Pro once every 7/8 years. After all, the chips are now powerful enough to supporting further iOS upgrades, aren’t they?
7-8 years seems like the sweet spot I’d agree.
Talk about first world problems! Look people, don’t buy an iPad if it’s going to ruin your life. Go have a few drinks and chill!
😂😂😂 right
Lol😂
It’s so weird the way these tech reviewers pocket watch the richest company on Earth just to make Google richer. The tech is amazing they know it. “Lost” what a load of nonsense
Haha 😅 although I think Apple is overpriced that’s really my only gripe with them. Like if you don’t like the iPad get a flipping MacBook… people are more dramatic than last time.
Spend money on trips, nice food and drinks. Not into the greedy Apple’s stomach. Time to wake up to their marketing hypes and greedy corporate practices.
Amazing video man 🎉
This is also a business reason to be bearish on the Vision Pro. First primary power-user usecase is to supplement the "real" computer, the macbook. It will be a long time before it makes short-term business sense for Apple to produce a powerful standalone alternative to their flagship (in any direction) with their current product philosophy
Well said!
top notch production quality keep creating wonderful videos
Thank you!!
Can't believe you only have 500 subscribers. Great video man
I appreciate that!
I’ve said for many years now, that iOS and macOS will eventually become one OS but it’s still a way off yet. Why else would you make the latest iPad Pro with an M4 chipset? I am typing this on my M1 iPad Pro and back when this one launched I did exactly what those people you showed in this video, I said WHY Apple? Why did you give it so much power only to hamstring it with iOS? It’s as if they can’t make up their minds; ror don’t want to give users macOS on a ‘touch device’ as it would be an admission not allowing MacBooks to have displays with touch features like Windows laptops was the wrong choice. Now, we have an even more powerful tablet but without the ability to actually use that power as there’s no apps that can use it… it’s even more powerful than my MacBook Pro 14” M2 for crap sake, apple! I am intending on buy the base model but only because it has a much better display than my current one plus I will get £320 for my M1 model in trade-in making it less expensive. I used to have an Apple Pencil back in the day but sold it and replaced it with a Logitech crayon as I only needed it for signing documents and filling out PDF’s (then sold the crayon when I got the Kindle Scribe) but I might… might buy the Pencil Pro this time around. What I won’t buying is the keyboard case whether that’s the Apple one or the other third party one as I’ll use my Apple Bluetooth keyboard I have. To be honest, I have an M1 Mac mini and an M2 14” MacBook Pro base model and I rarely use them as I tend to go to the iPad because it’s more convenient… now, would I be better buying a Windows Surface tablet instead of replacing my iPad Pro M1? There’s a thought…
You should either wait until after WWDC or whatever it's called to see the iPadOS update. It probably will only be AI and not full desktop OS features. If so, then wait for M5 and I think they'll launch Pro or Ultra iPad line with new OS then which coincides with Snapdragon penetration into tablet and 2-in-1 market competition. Knowing Apple they'll lock such a device into only the LATEST iPad so if you go for M4 iPad now, you might be locked out when that happens...
You hit the nail on the head. I pre-ordered the iPad Pro, Pencil Pro, and the Magic Keyboard from Best Buy wanting to upgrade my 2018 iPad Pro. But I couldn't go through with it. It is just too much money for what it is.
Man now I want to go on that vacation. You should start a second channel about travel agencies
The problem is the os other things ipad os is ok for the mini and standard ipad
i like this perspective
I’m an Apple aficionado and agree with your criticisms. Also, it’s worth mentioning that Apple’s branding of their devices and OSes, doesn’t make any sense. Going from M1, M2 to M4? (Someone hate the number 3)? Why does the Pro now weigh less than the Air? What a a mess. I’m sticking with my M2, Pencil #2 and Magic Keyboard for now and probably for a few years more until there’s a real reason to switch over to the latest and greatest.
That intro had me clicking the subcribe button so fast. 😂
great video big dawg
Great video!
This is exactly the way Apple wants it to be, and if you don't like it, "you're holding it wrong"... Pay up, people! Excellent summary by Matthew.
I am so freaking excited for this iPad. As an illustrator this is going to be hands down the best drawing device ever made along with the massively improved Apple Pencil and single core performance will really speed up drawing apps. I think it’s game over for Wacom except for those who need a very large drawing tablet. This device is for me. I think we will see some really great improvements in ios18 - remember the Mac has had what 45 years to evolve? The iPad is only on year 14 and look what it can do it’s evolved from a media consumption device to a content production device. I think we will see major improvements - they had to push enough power to the low end devices so they could amp up ipadOS
You know it’s interesting I was just talking with my friend about that the other night. It feels like the one group of pros who can actually take advantage of the iPad fully is artists. Unfortunately I have no artistic talent whatsoever so I’m not really able to speak about that side of things.
@@MatthewSnyderPhoto as an artist, I love the iPad, but I want access to more tools as well. A pro level 3d animation software would be great. Especially since the new pro has hardware accelerated ray tracing that’s great for rendering. But I’ve been waiting since I got my m1 iPad a few years ago. And nothing substantial has happened in that area, it’s really frustrating
@@MatthewSnyderPhoto Artists love iPad. The moment you are multitasking, you are doomed.
I feel like if your using a keyboard on an iPad you may as well buy a MacBook
If Apple releases an 11” MacBook with a detachable screen than also functions as an iPad, I would buy it. My last non-Apple laptop was a Surface Pro. I like having one device that can do everything and that is small enough to use on the folding tray in an airplane seat.
Agreed!
@@BoJangles4214” is small enough for airplanes tray. and I dont get people who can work/be productive with small screen size. 13” macbook is already too small for some people.
Check out the review by Mr.whoestheboss.. he says the the iPad Pro is a better replacement for his MacBook Pro..
They released this the other day, M4 iPad 11” and Magic Keyboard that’s detachable:)
yes it's never been the performance. the problem is THE SOFTWARE
I have the 2018 iPad Pro. 5+ years and a massive crack across the screen later, it still handles everything I do which is just SideCar.
Great video, 100% agree with your point of view here. It's a shame tough, Apple could have made the iPad really great by just adding OSX to it, making it like a real laptop, but then less heavy, way more portable.
Oh so you enjoy mashlee magic and muscles as well! Well played sir. Dope video. I have some of the same issues with my iPad. I just don’t know what to do with it.
“Lost” is subjective. They’ll sell millions of new iPads every year to people who want them. You can’t force Apple to be what you want it to be. Be thankful there are alternatives.
This iPad generation is most appealing to artists. All other use cases it’s a different story. Unless your iPad is older you probably shouldn’t buy it.
I think the IPad Pro needs to do something more to differentiate itself from the Air. The Air dodges a lot of the problems I talked about in the video by letting you use the same accessories and being cheaper.
@@MatthewSnyderPhoto they need to sort out the compatibility mess which will take a couple years at least.
Yeah, it’s supposed to be a drawing tablet. I’m no artist, but I’ve heard it’s not a bad drawing tablet. Still not good enough to replace industry standards, but for passionate semi-pro artists it’s actually a budget friendly option compared to professional drawing tablets (to my knowledge, I could be wrong and stupid) and comes with the extra entertainment factor of being an iPad. But outside of that very niche example, it’s a horrendous value. The fact that it has this keyboard also implied that Apple has every intention of breaking the product out of the niche artist demographic. But quite frankly, you have to be an absolutely deranged moron to choose this over a MacBook. Exceptions made for people with enough disposable income to buy expensive trinkets without having to think about their budget, of course.
Des Moines, IA? You a fellow Iowan? You're off to an excellent start with KZhead, this is a very well done video!
Yes sir lived in Iowa my whole life! Thanks for the support!
I think the issue with the iPads is that they are aiming specific camps. I as an artist have a lot of interest for the iPad Pro because in my case I could replace my Mac with an iPad Pro. (I use procreate most of the time anyways and prefer portability) But I understand the general frustration of software, because I experienced that as well at some point. The iPad Pro really it’s just specialized for people who wanna draw, edit videos, and audio professionally. Yes there isn’t premerie pro or audity, which really isn’t an Apple problem is more of those companies problems for not investing. But it comes down to if you see your self working full time. My current iPad is the iPad Air 5 with the M1 I’ve used it to make almost 200 drawings and I’ve also made videos and other files and use it as a notebook and agenda.
Oled is the biggest thing for me. Will be the best big screen
I’m hoping this comes at wwdc, they should have no issue cannibalising the MacBook as long as the iPad Pro is the same price, which now it kinda is. I just spec’d up a MacBook Air for myself and the equivalent iPad Pro with keyboard is a lot more money
great video bro
I heard WWDC they have a big plans hope they deliver
Very nice punch man!! I am sure Cook watched it.
its all very sad for me, cause for percicle my case of using i actually don't need macbook. The iPad suits me better - and I'm considering buying one - but damn, I'm so frustrated by the limitations of the system and the coast of product. Plus, I'm worried that I'll bend or break this new super-thin device after purchasing it. All of this together almost makes me depressed.
I think other comments said it best. The iPad is still great for certain use cases but you need to do your own research to determine if it’s best for you. The one upside of what Apple has done is that the iPad is so ridiculously powerful that you probably won’t need to upgrade it for 7-8 years.
Definitely would last at least 4 years (coming from someone Pre-Mx - 2018) but I have the same problem…with it being that thin, don’t I have to worry about it bending? Say I give it to a child, right now I’m fine because it’s a tank, but it’s as thin as a paper, I can’t rest assured unless a heavy duty case is on…which makes it useless
Personally, I feel it might be better if the iPads offered a sort of dual mode where you could either use iPad os or Mac OS and switch between them. An issue with both Mac OS alone for iPads and for touch screen Macs is that most desktops programmes won’t translate well to a touch screen platform
When Steve Jobs introduced the first iPad, he said that Apple wanted consumers to buy a third device to complement their iPhone and Mac. Nothing has changed in the 15 or so years since. Apple still want you to buy the third device (and forth if you consider the Apple Watch). Apple could build in functionality to iPad OS that boots into Mac OS, a bit like Samsung do with Dex and it would provide users with the ultimate flexibility, but they won't do that, because it will likely kill MacBook sales. At this point, we all know that Apple's claim about caring about e-waste and the environment is all fluff and bluster.
Hot take: the new ipad Air is able to handle 99.9% of people’s workload and the remaining 0.1% of people getting the iPad Pro is just for the 120hz refresh rate and not the actual chip performance and also the review channels getting them for free.
Is like a mullet😂😂😂 like it bro
great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Apple needs to make their own version of the galaxy book 360 or they hate their customers
Coming from an iPad Pro 3rd gen 11in to the new 13in Pro will be amazing.
He knows but he still made this video. Positive videos about Apple won’t drive traffic to your page. No traffic no views no Google ad money.
iPads are finally at Australia prices in the US and makes the Australian princes in Australia ridiculous I have a iPad Pro and it’s as cost me more than probably most people spend on a laptop here. The last thing I had a problem with my iPad Pro is performance it can easily edit 4K video and not even heat up it’s incredible but the problem is the price most people see an iPad as a kids toy now and or a tv for KZhead
We really don’t know about the software yet because WWDC24 isn’t here yet. But, I do understand the skepticism based on the track record. I highly suspect Apple kept some secrets this time around and saved them for WWDC24 at this point. I, myself, opted to upgrade this year from my 2018 iPad Pro. No regrets and I get what I want out of my iPads because I have the expectations set for what I do with it.
Can they just put osx in ipad tho if it's possible?
Did anyone else notice the guy in the background using the Apple Vision Pro? Nice little bit of product placement there.
This video really sums up a lot of problems with Apple as a whole. The first being the problem with how overly spoiled some parts of the iPad community has been becoming more and more, especially after this recent Apple Event. And the second being how much Apple has been becoming more and more prone of being more contradictory and hypocritical with their push towards being a "carbon neutral" company or whatever with how much they've been doing a lot of BS that goes completely against it. Hugh Jefferys has been making video after video showing this more and more and it really makes me wish more was done to combat this sort of issue Apple's been consistently manufacturing more.
Good video, good edit. Make music a bit more quiet and work on your audio. You included clip from MKBHD and it’s night and day, its a matter of setting im sure.
So if apple updated iPad os, what would you want for it to be perfect’?
As a graphic designer, if Apple made an iPad that could natively run OSX applications (especially the Adobe suite), with a proper file manager... I'd seriously consider switching to that as my primary computer from Windows. As is, I'm sticking with my Windows laptop and Wacom tablet.
They are putting in these extremely fast chips, but as the OS is so insufficient, I would never do demanding tasks on the iPad. I reserve my laptop or main PC for those. So why would I buy the latest iPads?
Nice video!
I bought the base model iPad Air M1 2 weeks ago. It does everything the most expensive iPad Pro M4 can do. I even got it on sale at Best Buy for just $499. I feel like Apple is really trying hard to extend out their reality distortion field and to me, looks like is failing miserably.
Apple painted themselves into a corner with the iPad, back when Steve Jobs wanted to keep them totally separate. I’ve been using the M1 and currently the M2 iPad, but I still feel like I’m playing a violin and a phone booth. 🎻
I dont get the Macbook argument as the iPad has been outselling the former by a 3 to 1 ratio. Of course they still wouldnt want it to go even lower, but its not like they depend on the Macbook sales more than the iPad.
Great arguments. I still don’t see a reason to buy an m4 iPad Pro over a MacBook at this point.
The fact that I need to connect my iPad pro to a computer to get my iTunes music tells me that it's not a laptop replacement. At least give us iTunes for iPad pro and a file management to download and use my own music.
Lulz it reminds of the iFruit billboard in GTA V. CNET made a great vid about it. A lot of software missing and lots of hardware
M1 Pro owner here Commenting from it lol 11 inch
Seriously they should give the M-series iPads macOS so someone get a touch screen laptop with an immersive screen and portability especially if your connected to a keyboard
Great video! I just found it distracting that the music in the background was kind of like syncing with your voice. I want to get like my first iPad ever because I'm an artist and everybody recommends it for drawing. But all the artists that I've talked to said the 16 GB of RAM version is kind of pointless because unless you're doing like 3D sculpting digital painting doesn't take very much processing power. And you can't do a lot of stuff that a PC can and you're spending the same price or more than a high-end PC. I wish I could like spec this out but I don't want to spend over $4,000
If only it supported Adobe desktop versions of AI and PS at the very least. What’s the point of having M4 when it’s still very VERY limited?
The iPad feels like it’s 4-5 years behind software wise but current on its hardware.
Because not everyone can afford to just buy everything Apple wants them to buy. And apparently they don't care if they just lose the market of any artist out there that needs desktop functionality. And now that Qualcomm elite is coming out stuff like the Surface Pro with a arm based elite chip is going to be amazing.
Ultimately, if Apple keeps selling these things and making money, it doesn’t matter if their power is never properly utilized. Us tech enthusiasts make up a small minority of their customer base
The issue with iPads is it doesn’t have an actual dedicated OS. It should a desktop like OS instead on the same thing as the iPhone.
I think what most people want is Apple to turn the iPad into a Surface but for Apple to do that, a large number of consumers would just buy that singular product. They would not need a MacBook and an iPad, just the Apple-Surface, which means far lower sales which will hurt the core business.
Why do people want an overlap? You can do things with an iPad that you can’t do with a Mac and vice versa. Same applies to iPhone a lot of other devices
I have a iPad gen 5 and a MacBook Pro 14inch with the M1 chip yea I like my MacBook but I pretty much only use it at school while my iPad I use every day I was about to buy a surface pro instead of the Mac because it’s a computer but it also works like a tablet one of the only reason I chose the MacBook instead was at the time I used a university grade math program that needed hardware wise a lot so I rather take the safe pick but with how I use my stuff I think a iPad Pro with the m4 chip and the option to use macOS would be the perfect device for me Okay we haven’t seen the full potential of it yet but im not using anything I don’t think it could handle I like Tablet devices more and I could use it with the pencil keyboard and a mouse and it probably still weight less but I know it would cannibalism the MacBooks to much so it may seem perfect but I doubt it will happened but if it does I probably get a iPad Pro 13inch 1tb later this year it will be price but if it got the software I think it will be worth it
It’s like a mullet 😂
Damn. Good take.
I was looking seriously @ the Samsung S9 Ultra but I am so locked into the Apple Ecosystem that I decided to trade-in my M1 iPad Pro for the new M4 iPad Pro hoping that WWDC 2024 will finally introduce the macOS for iPad Pro - especially with Apple's promise of generative AI unlocking the full potential of the M4. But after watching your excellent video, I'm not so sure. Thank you!
What i have thought for 10 years now. The mer existance of macbooks and ipads hold each other back. Neither will become the true all in one (like surface pro line) since it would stop apple selling mac/ipad/iphone/apple watch to get that experience.
Faster than the best selling windows laptop in its price range... Boy we will be helpful to know what chip what generation. They could be talking about like an i3 or a Celeron or something.
Great video Mat, but some feedback from an older viewer. Can you turn down the background music a tad in future videos please. It was hard to hear your voice over the background track around the 1:50 mark. Cheers Dan
This is so frustrating for users as it must be for Apple workers… this company is sadly starting to slowly decline into Microsoft
If you want a glorified ipad to take notes, watch media, study, read, an ipad 10/9th gen is MORE THAN ENOUGH. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. you can buy a laptop for your editing purposes. To graphic designers, artists... only they should consider buying these advanced ipads.
Just wait…. June is almost here. I got my 13”pro coming 🎉 waiting for new iPad iOS
If Apple says why make better, I think their sales will decrease on Ipads, funny thing is, my 2017 Ipad Pro 10.5 inches with Apple pencil 1, is as good as the latest device for me. After all these years of hardware iterations, I dont see a real reason for buying one, it broke and I repaired it but apart from an unrepairable fault, I wouldnt buy any other one. And if I bough it would be a second hand ipad that is not the latest generations in deed. Dont get me wrong, I love Ipad, Goodnotes notetaking changed my life, I even paint, if I can find a good industrial product design course using Ipad with apps like procreate or sketchup, I will enroll. But that I can do in my 7 year old Ipad... Why buy a better latest hardware device, if it aint any better with its same limited OS.
