Hey there :) as long as the iPhone is turned on I receive SMS, WhatsApp, whatever it is normally as a notification. The iPhone just needs to be turned on and connected to the internet but it doesn’t need to be in Bluetooth range. Give it a try! Hope that convinces you :)

Hey there :) The only apps I had crash on me on their own (as far as I recall) were DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Lightroom at extremely heavy loads (e.g. playing back multiple 4K video tracks with effects or batch photo editing) but I had multiple cases where I had apps or even springboard (the iOS / iPadOS „window manager“) crash on me when using multiple apps in stage manger. I think as a rule of thumb; if you‘re planning to use 4 - 8 apps in stage manager (I.e. using a secondary screen and multitasking heavily) or if you do video editing you should consider the 16GB model. Generally speaking, I believe 8 GB should be enough for most people today but given that the M4 processor is very powerful, I expect this iPad Pro to receive updates for a comparatively long time and „age very well“. So I think future proofing it with 16GB of RAM is not a bad idea if you want to use it for longer. That said, M1 and upwards support using your storage as swap space (effectively RAM). That means that you should be much less likely to run into memory related crashes with M1+ compared to the A12Z in my previous iPad Pro. Hope this was helpful and welcome to the channel, happy to have you here! 🥳

@@FlorianBodlee Wow, vielen Dank! That was very helpful. I am not planing to use stage manager or an external display. I will use it for pretty basic tasks. I think 8GB should be fine then. I have no TV and I always wanted an OLED display so... Pro it will be. ;)

Really appreciate all the kind words, thanks a lot! Welcome to the channel 🥳

Hey there, happy you enjoyed the video :) If you‘re happy with the mini LED display (it‘s very nice already) and you don‘t need the barrel roll feature of the Apple Pencil Pro then absolutely no, no need to upgrade :)

Awesome! Thanks for responding.

Enjoy it! 🥳

Appreciate it! Happy you enjoyed the video 🥳

They stick with me as testing devices for development and will be put to good use :)

@@FlorianBodlee I will also do their good use in my engineering 😅

I checked! The magnets don‘t align and it won‘t work. Hope this was helpful :)

@@FlorianBodlee oh bummer it would have been great to use the new keyboard with the older pros

Actually, this settings was removed from the following iPad generations onwards according to Apple‘s support article 102354: iPad Pro 11-inch (4th generation) iPad Pro 12.9-inch (6th generation) iPad (10th generation) iPad mini (6th generation) iPad Air (5th generation) It used to be changeable in the past but not anymore…

… can confirm; the setting is available on the A12Z but not on the M4

i also have this setting on my M1 iPad Pro..

Hey there :) Do you have the 11“ or the 13“? I think from my first impressions you won‘t need to upgrade from M1/M2, especially not if you already got the one with the 16GB of RAM. M1 is plenty powerful still and my main driver was the upgrade from 6GB RAM in the A12Z to the 16GB in the M4 1TB model. The screen is obviously amazing but I think if you have the 13“ with the mini LED, that‘s already a very very good display and I probably wouldn‘t upgrade tbh… What are some of the things you do with your M1 iPad?

@@FlorianBodlee Honestly just watch tv shows in bed lol. I literally just got back from the Apple Store to trade mine in and I left with mine. I couldn’t tell the difference. 12.9 512

Interesting! Just tried it, no! The magnets don’t align at all and it won’t attach to it. Hope this helps :)

Even after almost 2 days it‘s still throwing me of every time I touch the buttons 😅

Can you confirm that this wasn‘t the case for M1/M2?

@@FlorianBodlee I’m sure it’s something I will get used to. The comment about it matching the Magic Keyboard button directions was helpful. But I tried turning the volume down last night and was wondering why it was getting louder 😂 As far as if M1/M2 made this change I’m not sure. I upgraded from an 11” 2018 with an A12X and did not upgrade until this generation because of the 11” not getting a better display until now.

Gotcha, so we‘re basically in the same boat :D Thanks for the input :)

U can change this in settings. IDK why it’s on by default now but at least u change change it back (well at least u can on iPad Air 5 so I’m guessing its also true for iPad Pro)

Absolutely planning to! What are you looking for in that comparison? What are the main aspects that are interesting to you?

Appreciate it! I actually didn’t have time to create a proper one so it‘s just a frame-grab 😅🤫

Happy you liked it! What do you mean by full AirPlay / Control Other Device support? Not sure I understand…

@@FlorianBodlee if I’m playing music on my Apple TV, I can go on my iPhone, click the airplay button and under “Control Other Devices” select Apple TV and control the tv music from my iPhone Apple Music app. The iPad doesn’t appear under control other devices, only Apple TV, iPhone, and Mac as far as I’m aware. But I could be mistaken.

Just tested it, definitely also works on iPad :) When you go to the control center and click the AirPlay button, there is a button under the devices that said „Control Other Speakers & TVs“ and if you click that it does exactly what you want :) Let me know if this works for you! :)

That makes a ton of sense! Thanks 🙏🏼

Happy you enjoyed the video! Yeah I love it too! I‘m nostalgic of the white MacBook and silver iPod Nano era, so I really wanted the silver one. Actually already wanted it for the A12Z but it wasn‘t in stock back then 😅 I got the 1TB with cellular version because I need the 16GB or RAM for my work with it :)

@@FlorianBodlee Hi! I am also adding a huge thanks for your video on iPad pro 11” and the choice to take it over the rest of the gang. I am curious about the workflow you are going to build with the machine. So, going to watch your further interactions with it. I am tempted to buy 512gb/8ram, but I hope that you will help me to see, if there is a really important gap between 8/16ram for iPad usage. Anyway. Be well, my friend

Hey there, really appreciate the kind words! I’ll make sure to explain in detail how I use it in the full review and I already scribbled a decision tree regarding which one to get 👌🏼☺️ welcome to the channel, happy to have you here! 🥳

@@FlorianBodlee Looking forward to see your new adventures and experiences! Put this little guy on its toes. Try everything possible to test it in your specific environment and after that, push it even further. Thanks again for your hard work and drive for selflessness in order to create something valuable for yourself and anonymous bunch of people. Have a sunny day!

Thanks for sharing Look forward to seeing more content going forward. Going to go with 512 gb as it more than ample for my needs. Just have to decide between silver or space black

Sounds like you’re spot on! Thanks 🙏🏼

I guess that‘s how you can tell I skipped M1 and M2 :P Thanks for letting me know! 🙏🏻

Hey there :) happy you liked the video! - I didn’t consider that, no. I used the B550-I because I was certain that it would work with my CPU and ECC RAM and I didn’t see anything wrong with it, no deeper reasoning. - I would probably go with a newer CPU today and I would change the M.2 to SATA HBA for one with at least 1 more port. I added a second SSD as a mirror for the boot pool for increased redundancy. Right now I have it connected via USB but will probably move it inside the case once I get a chance to switch the HBA :) - I personally don’t see any reason not to go AM5. Why do you think it wouldn’t be advisable? Back in the day I didn’t due to price and mainboard availability but if that’s not a factor for you, go for it! It even brings the upside that you mostly don’t need to worry about ECC because DDR5 comes with comparable capabilities by default :) Hope that was helpful!

Appreciate that a lot! Welcome to the channel :)

Happy to hear you found the video helpful! I agree with everything you said but in the end kept it because I didn’t find a good alternative in the price range for my use case… I can’t justify paying for SoundDevices for what I do and the smaller Zoom 32 bit recorders weren’t a thing yet…

That's bleak AF

Happy to help! 🥳

Hey! Gerade nochmal an der Apple Watch ausprobiert - funktioniert bei mir definitiv mit Exchange, Gmail und Apple Mail. Das iPhone muss an sein und mit dem Internet verbunden sein. Es muss aber *nicht* mit der Apple Watch verbunden sein.

In the next room 😄

Working perfectly! I switched the stock AMD stock cooler for a Noctua one and it’s dead silent since then and the drives are sitting at around 35 degrees :)

Absolutely! You may lose a bit of performance but it’d probably be fine! You can totally just run your VMs on top of TrueNAS Scale though! It has a qemu hypervisor built in :)

I can't get an answer anywhere, is it still not fixed?

I returned it yesterday - I bought it for sound design and I do not recommend this recorder - still after 2 years it has a problem with interference at high frequencies

@@marekhorvath3148 I was looking forward to buying the X8, but I guess I'm not anymore lmao. Why bother having 96k and 192k if the higher frequencies are unusable ??

Thanks for the context! I don’t use deduplication but the RAM is acting as cache and for the project sizes I work on it seems like my current setup with 32 GB works well. What rule of thumb for the amount of RAM would you recommend for non-dedup use cases?

⁠@@FlorianBodlee really depends on use case. 16GB would probably be fine even for 100TB. Your limitations more likely to be network speeds or SMB limitations.

@@FlorianBodlee Actually that might be an interesting video going in to see how much a difference more or less the amount or ram has depending on users.
