Apologies if this is mentioned in the video, but what application are you using for editing the podcast? Thank you for the detailed use case, by the way.

I just hope wwdc will announce some enhancements iPadOS that'll let it run more computer apps so I can have visual studio code on it, and not need my laptop anymore.

This is a great video! All these tech vloggers never point out that there are so many PROFESSIONAL (I.e. you make money from it) uses for the iPad that the MacBook can’t do! Let alone all feb hobbyists that use it for anything from a book reader to reading nfl playbooks on the field. The idea that it shouldn’t exist because it doesn’t run a handful of pro apps (it’s literally a handful) is just wild. The way they dismiss a product that is just as big revenue wise for Apple as the mac is is just silly. I think they sell far more units of iPads than macs. I get that the pro is expensive but that’s why they offer iPads at different price points. If you can’t afford $200 sneakers does it mean you shouldn’t wear sneakers at all??

How do i do all that without a shitphone

Pretty nice.

Is there a way in ios 17 to create a shortcut or an automation that sets Haptics from "Never Play" to "Always Play" as soon as I leave my location?

Great alternative to Federicco’s and Jason's articles. And in my opinion, much more aligned with most iPad users

Thank you for using the tablet as a tablet and not complaining about a tablet not being a laptop/desktop... ;) :)

I am currently experimenting with going iPad only for a few weeks and so far so good. If I still worked in radio you can run an entire radio station automation system from an iPad.

In single core: The M4 iPad Pro achieved a single-core score of 4,001 points, 28% faster than the M3 Max in the 16-inch MacBook Pro. The M4 also defeated the M2 Ultra from the Mac Studio by a significant 44% margin. This M4 is a HUGE jump, I felt the M2 and M3's were stop gaps. That M1 really was a game changer though.

Does anyone know the name of the apple pencil grip in this video?

Finally, a channel that talks about iPad uses for musicians! Thank you SO much. The only reason I opted for a 13” was only because I’m a pianist and I try so hard to want to stick with 11” pro upgrade this time but I just can’t see the notes. iPad Pro 11” silver with white keyboard is so beautiful 😭 but I know it will just end up sitting in my room untouched like my iPad Air 4. I just can’t use it to its best potential. It really comes down to your own personal use. I like 11” portability but I need 13” for work purposes which sucks 😅. At least it’s lighter than the previous models, let’s see if I will actually like it.

Thanks so much for this very VERY helpful and eye opening video, looking to switch to iPhone/apple for the first time and seeing all you can actually do with the phone excites me its enough customisation but simple and easy to pick up. Really looking forward to making the switch to Apple thanks again ya legend!!

By the way, I hear that the squeeze gesture defaults to global undo when not in an app that overrides it. Is that true?

Nice refreshing piece without all the negativity about iPadOS. I’m an exclusive pro iPad user as well and love it. Yeah, I want more refinement on iPadOS, and definitely global audio/input control, but I love the iPad overall. I’m on the 2020 11” iPad Pro and not being able to run Final Cut Pro is a major negative for me. 11” M4 iPad Pro, I’m looking at you ⌁

Wow With your new M4 chip in your really thin IPad you can read your Emails really fast Stephan!! Then watch your videos on CZcams really quick!!!! It’s still a IPad running IPad OS!! PS I forgot to mention you have to buy all new accessories but you probably don’t care

Why did you get the 11-in the 13 in superior

how many watts can the wire it comes with charge? have a 35w brick….

Finally a review calling it like it is, I also got the M4 11” 1TB, had the M2 which was good but love that the M4 is lighter, faster, best Oled screen, camera in landscape, upgraded magic keyboard & pencil. Normally I like bigger screens but here I like lighter and the smaller screen to compliment my MacBook Air 13.

As an Apple Fan boy that has recently added the S23 Ultra as my work phone a year ago, I can tell you the Samsung DEX with external keyboard and mouse is a better value proposition IMO. If the new Samsung fold gets Ultra level cameras it's game over for me. You will have a premium phone, tablet, and Large format computing device. Don't let Apple convince you to buy a laptop, tablet, and phone.

stinky beans fruit brand tablet

👍👍video

Is there a reason you chose silver over space black?

Helpful video! What make/model glasses are you wearing? They look great!

Wish the Mac got sfp+ and dump the rj45

Funny how no one has done true real world battery test and is the reason I’m returning newly purchased iPad 11 pro m4, battery life is worse than my brand new m1 iPad Air 5th gen… the tandem oled screen kills battery life besides m4 running at 4.4ghz for all tasks and apps… also nothing needs or uses the m4 and Gpu to fullest potential from Apple software. If it did battery would really die fast and no point to have a tablet if it doesn’t last on battery

Buying a product, using it (for review) and then returning it is an extremely scummy tactic.

I’ve watched so many iPad Pro reviews over the past few days… this is by far the best one I’ve seen so far! Thank you for this excellent video and refreshingly sensible and thoughtful perspective!

This is the most precise description I have seen so far but let’s be real ipad is magnified iphone useless and since tim cook is in charge we haven’t seen anything special and most of us think he sholud be fierd so we can see some real changes on apple products especially on battery compartment please leave timi no one will miss you anyway good job for description

I tend to agree - from a hardware perspective the new iPad Pro is the ideal tablet, I don’t see how they make it materially better (other than eventual spec bumps, etc.) This thing is perfect. That’s the tablet itself - you could reasonably say the same about the pencil (except I’d like to see an eraser on the back.) However, the keyboard is too thick and heavy. Don’t get me wrong, it’s wonderful and a dramatic improvement. However, it hasn’t reached its platonic ideal like the iPad Pro itself. It will be tough to get there - leverage and balance is not on their side. Also, I think people are wrong about the nano texture glass. I think it’s sublime. (My wife has the glossy, I have the nano texture.) I am 100% happy with the choice. What a great device. This is an incredible platform for them to evolve the OS (hint hint)

What speed test are you using??

110 % agree. 11 inch perfecto!

But the sound quality is the worst they ever made. Feels like a 10 year old air. Only for this reason think twice if you want to upgrade.

Do you think the keyboard for the 11” and trackpad is large enough??

I couldn't agree more. I picked up the 13" M4 1TB model. I have been using it to work remotely. Pretty neat I can do my job as a Systems Administrator from only a tablet. I'm using an external monitor, then I VPN into my work network and RDP my VM. Teams is up throughout the day on my iPad display and I work fully off of the external 4k Monitor. The new magic keyboard is really nice, it is a must have.

What app were you using to edit podcasts?

How do you, for creators like myself, use an external SSD (eg Samsung T7) with a wireless microphone (eg Hollyland Lark M2) when all we have on the IPhone Pro Max, is the one USB C port?

I look forward to upgrading from the M1 12.9” iPad Pro to the 13” pro!! Can’t beat the trade in value!

So it’s just a cool toy bc you can do it all on the Mac you already have

I agree with everything you said. My 11 inch M4 iPad Pro is so perfect and I’m so glad I switched to the smaller one after 5 years of 12.9 inch. I hate it when 99% of internet people have the exact same voice, “oh iPad needs to run macOS otherwise it’s a waste”. No one has anything interesting to say. So glad I found your video.

Did you get the nano texture glass?

That wallpaper on your Mac is awesome. Where i can get it?

Great review!

This is a great review! I have a MacBook for video and photography work, but for occasional photo editing, watching videos and sketching for my videos iPad is perfect. I ordered mine today and I’m going to pick it up later today. 12.9 was way too big for me, and I realized that 10.5 iPad Pro was my favorite iPad mainly because of its size.

Plz provide a link to the apple park wallpaper on your mac 3:50

You are far too sensible in how you approach the iPad. Everyone that says "the iPad Pro is great but held back by iPadOS" tire me as they just don't seem to understand the iPad is not a Mac. Yes they're similar and I am sure at WWDC they will become a bit more similar but fundamentally the iPad is better suited to some tasks just like the Mac is better suited to some other tasks. I understand people want a "does it all" device but all-in-one solutions always have janky compromises, just look at how other tablets have tried and failed to be both a desktop OS and a tablet OS. Your review of the iPad Pro (not just the M4 but the iPad as a whole platform) is easily the best I have seen in years because you seem to actually *get* what the iPad is designed for and don't try to make it something it really isn't designed or trying to be. Great job Stephen :)

On my subscription page - in the same row.... I have this video here - "M4 iPad Pro 11" Review: Tablet Perfection!" AND I have a video in that same row, from MacRumors - "13" M2 iPad Air: The Perfect iPad!" LOL Which one is right? LOL

BEST REVIEW YOU'VE EXPLAINED EVERYTHING AND EVERY REASON WHY WE SHOULD BUY AN IPAD PRO ❤❤❤❤

Great video, the “iPad should just run macOS” meme that’s been going around recently is just so tiresome and, well, lazy. IPadOS can always get better and the apps can always improve but it’s an amazing tablet and we shouldn’t lose sight of that.

I made the mistake in the past of trying the 11" (or whatever size is the smallest pro ipad). As a man with medium-large hands, I immediately regretted it. Way too tight to type efficiently.
