- In our latest CZcams video, Dan goes hands-on with the new 12.9-inch 2021 M1 iPad Pro and compares it to the 2020 12.9-inch iPad Pro to answer the question "Is it worth upgrading?"
Compared to the 2020 iPad Pro, the 2021 model features an upgraded M1 chip that's faster, a new Center Stage option powered by an Ultra Wide front-facing camera, a much improved mini-LED display that has much better contrast and blacker blacks, and a Thunderbolt port that improves connectivity with peripherals.

Just got mine in the mail today. czcams.com/users/postUgkxhcEDB3r-OJ3_X5hQzr7k1ZofTQy1ao_U The corners of the box was a little smashed but I think that’s more of the shipping’s fault. iPad was in perfect condition though. I ordered the yellow one thinking it was going to be a bright vibrant color. Instead I looks like more of a Gold color. I personally prefer the gold look. Definitely not disappointed but just a heads up to the ones expecting a brighter cream of yellow.
I can save you a lot of time. Almost no one needs to upgrade from last year’s device to this year’s device, no matter what device we’re talking about. You might want to, but almost no one needs to.
Agree
Thanks brother.
Here’s how I see it. Have an iPad from 2017 or before? Upgrade. Have an iPad from 2018 or later? Wait until WWDC 2021. Then decide from there. Likely it won’t be worth an upgrade. I upgraded from the 9.7 iPad Pro and it’s worth it
They can if they want to, it’s as simple as that. I don’t need to, I want to.
If you can afford it then knock yourself out but i wouldn’t splurge if u don’t have money to burn
Thanks for being direct, Dan. I like it when reviewers aren’t ambivalent.
Great review, my 2018 12.9 iPad Pro told me that it's not going anywhere and that it was going to stay with me for at least another year and I agreed.
Great review. I love my 2020 12.9. You testing the front camera was actually very amusing.
2018 is really good
Looking forward to getting mine upgrading from the 11” 2018 to the 2021 12.9”. Can’t wait!!
My family just gifted me the 12.9 iPad pro with the M1, coming from an iPad 2 that I had since the beginning, I'm just enjoying this huge evolution, crazy
Great video. Really appreciate not bsing at all and cutting to the chase at the beginning. Still watched the full video. Wish people did this more often! Got my sub
Would it be worth it to get a 2020 version for about $100 less? I'm interested in the 120Hz Display for Apple Pencil use. I'm mainly looking to take notes, blueprints and documents on it as well as some media streaming on the side. So not really in need of the performance boost on the 2021. Or should I just save money and get an iPad 9?
Great video, I subscribed due to your content. I was going to upgrade my 2020 to the M1, but after the video decided to wait for another year.
I have actually been totally fine with not only keeping my 2020 12.9 model till at leasst next year, but I have also found myself very happy with my $20 generic bluetooth mobile keyboard and $99 smart-folio combo versus a magic keyboard. As an artist, I appreciate being able to position the keyboard relative to how I am painting in ProCreate and then just move it back when I want to be in "laptop" mode, and this keyboard actually has an escape button as well as the button to drop to the desktop. I have more and more Apple products, but I am still trying to be a realist when it comes to what I buy.
May I ask, what's the exact name of the keyboard you're using? The magic keyboard is reallyyy up there in price.
Also! How is the screen size for your 12.9 tablet! I'm looking into getting one of the 2020s but not sure on which. (: I'm hoping to primarily use it for art and possibly basic video editing.
The way he moved around on center stage 😭🤣HAHAHAHA
Great for great information because I’m were thinking about to upgrade but now I will hold on to my 2020 iPad.
You in center stage🤣🤣
neo from the matrix 😂
Loved how towards the end he tried his “one last move”. Reminded me of “Unagi”
i have the regular ipad from 2018. and ive been itching to upgrade, im just deciding what model to pick 2020 or 2021
Love the white keyboard. Can I buy the 2021 magic keyboard and use it for my iPad Pro 4th gen? Would it work?
I love the Center Stage feature, but that’s about the only thing that, for me, it’s great about the new version. I have the older 2020 model
Thanks a lot for the comparison - now that we know that the 2022 M2 model is almost identical to the 2021 M1 model this video is still really usable when considering an upgrade from the 2020 model 😉
so what do i do, im thinking on buying an ipad pro to replace my ipad air but which sould i buy, save £100 on the 2020 or just fork out on the 2021?
I don’t have any IPad but I hesitate to get a pro one from 2020 or the pro one from 2021.. only because of the OLED quality screen.. do you really feel the difference?
Thank you for the review. HQ games load a lot faster and scene changes are pretty snappier too. So maybe Ram apps limitation as for now is a issue, or simply apps not updated to use the full potential of M1, maybe next WWDC will see something ab it..
I’m sticking with my 2018 iPad Pro though I could definitely go for upgrading to the magic keyboard. (from Smart Keyboard)
I just want your opinion
I still have the first edition of the iPad Pro and I'm thinking to buy a new one
would you buy the 2021 version , wait for the 2022 version or just upgrade to the 2020 version
I ask this coz I also have an iMac
How do I get that benchmark software on the iPad? TYVM good vid.
I had a 2017 iPad Pro 10.5” (or maybe it was a 2018, I can’t remember for sure) and I upgraded about a year ago to the 2020 iPad Pro 12.9” because the battery life on my old iPad was almost nonexistent. I had to have it plugged in at all times in order to use it, which is very impractical for basically anyone but especially because I use my iPad for practically everything I do - for my job, my business I’m working on starting up, for entertainment, etc. I’m really happy with my new iPad! It has a much better display & the difference in the size of the screen compared to the 10.5” is ahhhmazing! As far as upgrading from the 2020 to the 2021...to each their own, but for me personally - I don’t see a need to when there isn’t much of a difference between the two generations & my current 2020 iPad works perfectly! I’ll upgrade when mine shits out.
I have a problem with the mini LED screen it’s a question rather than a problem does it save battery like oled screens when the pixels is turned off?
I have 2018 iPad pro 12.9” should I upgrade to the 2021 model?
Have you gotten a chance to test the 1 or 2TB models of the fifth GEN? They have 16 gigs of RAM, and I feel like that would make a noticeable difference.
Recommendations for someone looking for a new iPad? What’s the best for the money?
Any size differences or screen difference?
hi! which ipad pro 11 would you recommend for a medical college student? thank you!
I'm planning to buy an ipad pro. Should I get the ipad pro 11' M1 128gb or ipad pro 11' 2020 256gb? The price is about the same here in my country. Help me choose please.
Upgrading from 12.9 FIRST GEN PRO…still have not done so-but financially I am ready-I want the latest but should I get the 12.9 or MAX out the 11?? Both have the same screens or is the 12.9 better…
Thank you very much for this. I bought my very first ipad (the ipad pro 12.9 inch 1tb 2020) just 3 months ago, I had no idea there was a new one on the horizon, otherwise I'd have waited.
I use it for general things, but also for on the go gaming, music production and some video production.
I feel a bit gutted of course, as that 16gb of ram and faster processing of the 2021 model could possibly/theoretically come in very handy with all the tracks and effects I use in a mix for music production and with the vfx in video production, and of course gaming..
..though I understand apps are limited to how much memory they can use, but that could quite possibly change in a future update, which we could possibly find out about at the upcoming developers conference..
So I am thinking of buying either the new M1 but price is huge or buy a used 2020 with somewhat ok price. Buying for making art. What would you recommend in this situation?
I am thinking almost a week and still have no decision of buying iPad Pro 10” yet. Pls advise what choice should I go with. Here’s what I found:
Option 1- New iPad Pro M1 with 128GB for $799 from Apple.
Option 2- Used iPad Pro 2020 with 256GB just $679 good condition from EBAY.
I just need iPad for watching video, social media and basic online browsing, but I need to use it some time for Windows Remote access for my WorkFromHome. Can you help me on decision? Thanks
I have a lot of FaceTime and video call. Should I upgrade my iPad Pro 11 2020?
I don’t have an iPad at all so I get an iPad Pro 11inches M1 or go older? What about buying it refurbished?
Can you do a video on if it is worth buying a i pad pro 1 terabyte or just using the i cloud 1 terabyte from apple.
0:44 fucking killed me 😂 did anyone else laugh hahaha 🤣 💀
Me ✋🏼😭😭😭
All valid reasons, if you have the cash to splurge, more power to you. I have a 2017 iPad Pro 12.9 and I could hardly notice the changes with the iOS 14 upgrade. There are niche users out there who are doing amazing stuff with the iPad Pro, but the reality is, this is not a mass consumer product anymore.
my 11in 2020 is perfect. I just finally caved and purchased the apple folio cover and love it. After going through so many Amazon ones. I am not upgrading until I upgrade my phone again since I got the 12 pro max in Dec. My goal is to update when body changes happen only so I am safe for a while

WHICH ONE IS THE MONITOR WHAT TYPE MODEL IN APPLE ??
Hey great video! Thanks for breaking down, I’m not a tech guy and displays and speed ratings mean almost nothing to me unless I see it hands on. The black comparison was easy to see especially on zoom. I’ve noticed blacks are often not truly blacks but a gray. Of course, my iPad is a 2010 so.....haha.
I am getting an iPad 12.9 2020 256gb version for 650. Is that ok or shall I go for M1 version which is £350 more. I have never owned an iPad before. Please suggest. Thank you
How many years do u think apple is going to support to 2020 ipad pro software wise?
Do you run a DAW, music production?
After tow years of Ipad 2020 released did you think Ipad 2020 deserve to buy or I upgrade to 2021? I ask this question because I'm not used Ipad befor but I want something powerful and it's deserve the spending money for.
I have my 2018 IPad Pro 12" and still don't feel a need to upgrade. What I want is more ports doubt I'll see that and for Apple to make iPadOS more like OSX. Better yet ability to run OSX on a iPad that would get me to upgrade. With Apple new SoC they have started making one basic computer with difference types of bodies. M1 for a mini computer, desktop, laptop, tablet, add a received and a phone or watch. One chip lots of shapes depending on your preference.
I want to buy a 4th gem second hand, what price would you settle for?
I am student planing to buy iPad for taking notes and drawing and light gaming , which one should I buy ? Is 2020 ipad pro is still worth to buy or should I buy the M1 one and what size should do think will be better for me , I can’t decide between 12.9’ and 11’ 😬😬
I hope someone replies this comment
Im thinking to buy new ipad so should i buy the one with out M1 or with it diffrence is 74 euros
what about battery life on the M1 compared to the 2020 model?
How many hz do the screens have ?
I upgraded from a iPad 4th gen. So yeah, I’m happy with that decision. Lol. I ended up getting the previous generation Magic Keyboard. At the time I got it for $289? I think someone at Amazon screwed up on the pricing for the 12 inch model because it is now over $300.
Went for the 11” M1 iPad Pro as it’s cheaper and I prefer the smaller size. Kinda wish it had the mini LED display, but the 120Hz 600 nit 11” display is already a solid leap over the 2019 iPad Air 3, and Apple just makes excellent LCDs.
At WWDC this year, while I’m already pretty happy with how iPadOS 14 runs, I do hope they at least add the ability to use all of the external display and to use it for extra screen space for more apps - opposed to just a blown up version of what is already showing on your iPad.
Apple doesn't make their own display's for the iPad. Samsung makes them. Also, you are right about the multi-screen support but that requires a GPU that's strong enough while also not sacrificing too much battery life. The A12-M1 can do it without breaking a sweat but that's a small margin of iPad users and even smaller margin of those who would actually use the feature. That's not mentioning the fact developers would need to spending money/time optimizing for such a feature only to find out it didn't return enough profit to justify it.
Excellent review. The iPads have always been snappy and the A12X (even A10X) are still plenty strong. I have an 11” M1 iPad Pro and the only caveat I would add is that the battery life is much improved on the new iPad. I’m happy I upgraded but I had the 10.5” iPad Pro so the new form factor with TouchID and new Apple Pencil is mostly what I love.
Same. I had the 10.5 and it's still performs relatively well. But the battery has dwindled over the years and this upgrade makes sense. My hope is that the M1 will just keep it snappy 5 years down the road.
Of course, new battery is always better that old battery.
@@JuanVinton , the A10-A12X are already overkill for most, if not all applications in the Apple Store so the M1 is definitely beyond overkill when its comes to potential "Pro" use scenarios. Apple falls short for developing native applications to actually justify the silicons so this why Im confused to why they even made a "Pro" version of an iPad in reference true alternative professional tablets.
Just bought the 2TB 12.9 WiFi+Cellular 2021 iPad Pro - Upgrading from the 1 TB 2020 version. Like others who own the top spec previous version I had my doubts - but went to see it in the store and so here we are.
WHY - T4 connectivity, Bigger SSD and XDR screen.
I shoot using Hasselblad and NIkon cameras - so being able to use the 12.9 screen and Phocus 2 is a big help in the field. Having a "brighter Screen" is a bonus.
The 2TB -vs- 1TB is another safety step - I copy selected shots and vids from my camera onto the iPadPro so the additional space is a huge help.
None of my devices have T4 - but many do have T3 so having T -vs- USB-C is a big help.
I have a pair of XDR pro screens and like the quality and brightness of their output -- here is hoping the 2021 iPadPro display is at least as good.
I will find out in 1-2 days when it is delivered and I can road test it -- assuming we actually have a bright sunny day anytime soon, rather than the dark, grey, rain....
The magic keyboard - typically useless for me. I place mine in a The Joy Factory MagConnect Universal Tablet Module, which sticks on the back, and I via various clamp solutions I fit it to the inside of a safari vehicle, on a vessel or to a tripod. When shooting in Africa the iPad lives in a protective case as well - keeps the dust out and reduces impacts.
I avoided the very miserly Apple trade in option for my 2020 iPad. I am sure to be able to get more than £620 if I sell my 2020 locally or gain Family credit if I pass it on. As I did the 2018 and other versions -- its too big !!! Or I can simply use it as a another display/touchscreen in my house.
I travel with both the iPadPro AND a MacBookPro - My 2019 16" i9 MBP with the 5600M GPU and 8TB SSD works great at home and on the road. I have doubts that the new 2021/22 version will be a big leap up -- but we will see.
I appreciate your input-thank you. JA
wow you really dig everything out. That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
Hey Dan will the apple car launch in wwdc 2021??
Around here you can get new 2020 on discount which is mighty tempting.
Just picked up the new M1 128gb at Best buy open box for $980 after tax! Awesome XDR screen IMO
I got the iPad Pro 2020 last year and I'm still really satisfied with my device. It's my first iPad. I think I'll hold off on upgrading for awhile.
i have several thunderbolt drives, wouldn't this save a lof of money by being able to buy a 64G ipad pro. Also isnt the 2021 the only one with wifi6 ?
I’ve the iPad 9 and was thinking of upgrading to the Pro, is it worth it?
I have been using the 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 for two years, just recently accidentally shattered the screen. While getting it repaired I bought the 2021 M1 iPad Pro to check out..got the 2018 back from the shop..the older display looks hazy in comparison.
I'm returning 2021 for a 2020 model - ios15 lack of proper external monitor support decided for me - it costs about 1/3 less
Which is the best ipad Pro 2021 vs ipad Pro 2020?
Any reason to upgrade from 2018 ipad pro for student, content consumption and light gaming use?
Absolutely none. If you read the reviews comparing the 2018 model to the 2020 mode the difference in gaming and apps is hardly noticeable. unless they remove the software restrictions on the new m1 iPad then the extra speed is just over kill and completely obsolete.
Thank you for your honest review!
The 2021 11" M1 ipad pro is just a super polished device. For once in my life, I can finally hold a device and say "Damn! This is perfect." I added an external portable DAC amp with IEMs, Stylus, and a 100 W charger and it is everything I ever wished for and more. Once I add my SSD to the setup, it's everything I'll ever need. It's a good time to be alive.
Love the way you get right to the info. No B.S. I love it!
What Is the difference between 3rd gen M1 iPad pro and 5th gen M1 iPad pro
I’m holding off buying until I see what happens in June that will answer a lot I hope
Is it just me or is the audio muffled / distorting from grain in this video ??
For my 2014 iPad Air 2 64gb only wifi gold 6 year old iPad I’m happy to upgrade to the 2021 M1 256gb wifi plus cellular silver
Woah the 64gb to 256gb was a big jump it’s being delivered right now can’t wait
I bought pretty much every iPad since the first one. It’s always minimal to last years. You don’t really notice the bump until the iPad is 2 to 3 years old. But realistically. 1. Does it matter at that point. And 2.are we at a point where the average user just isn’t going to see the performance gain. But yes,the new FaceTime camera is amazing though.
Great review. I have the iPad Pro 11" 2020 and I have been tossing around the idea of upgrading to the new 12.9". I edit photos and do a lot of drawing on my iPad's, not to mention nearly all of my lecture's and classroom demonstrations on my iPad. I just wish Apple would create Logic Pro for their Pro iPads. Still undecided on the upgrade...
Logic Pro could easily transfer over to the iPad M1 because its already programmed for the M1 series but then that's technically making the iPad Pro a Macbook Pro with touchscreen. Apple would be shooting themselves in the foot.
Why do you want to upgrade? Isn’t your 2020 iPad Pro performing well enough?
I’m looking at moving into an apartment and only using mobile data so I am looking at getting a 12.9 m1 model because my town has 5G
That bloom though @2:10 ☠️
Looking to buy ipad pro 11 m1 new. Then i saw a guy selling ipad pro 12.9 2020 celluar with pencil 2 and magic keyboard much lower than the base ipad pro 11 m1.
going to use it mainly for media consumption and learning to draw. Hope the spec able to keep up with newer game.
Awesome and informative video as always. Really want that new mini LED screen, but I would rather wait another year to upgrade. Hopefully that model will have better battery life 🤞🏼
I bought the 2020 model last year, my old iPad was a 1st gen iPad Air
The iPad Pro 2020 has been great
How about now? After iOS 15 came out. Calling all the iPad experts :D, any different than 2020 model? Worth the upgrade? Stick with 2018-2020 iPad?
My bro finished his university years and pass me his ipad pro 12.9 2018. I was wondering if i could get a new ipad 2021 with my current ipad for trade-in to save few hundred bucks. My ipad pro 12.9 is 256gb and it is in great condition. Literally pnly few hairline scratches on the logo surface. A tiny spot of color fading around the camera lenses.
Does anyone get their new ipad from apple store with trade-in device? How much did you get from your trade-in device? Apple give me 660 cad instant credit for trade-in device but they say the final amount will be announced once they receive and finish the inspection of my ipad.
So one thing I noticed that you didn’t touch on is the real difference in reflectivity of the display. Look back at your footage. You can clearly see the background in the reflection of the 2020 iPad and not at all in the M1. Just saying. This is the first that I have seen this and would be worth the upgrade for me.
I am wondering which one to get, I can get a used one 2020 one for 300$ cheaper the the new m1 2021, not sure if to go for it or not
Gonna be used as a notebook replacement, watching stuff and maybe sometimes playing games like genshin impact~
Great review thanks …. You saved me money in less than 10 mins of watching…
Can someone help me lol. Is it better for me to get the 2020 12.9 inch or the 2021 11 inch? I will mainly use it for school purposes such as notetaking and digital drawing or animation. I'm afraid the 12.9 will be too big for me but all my devices such as handphone has been much larger than average (it's currently 7 inch) so I guess you can say I do like large screens, but also afraid it'll be too incompatible and for the 11 inch the m1 chip and future updates is really tempting though it may be a bit cramped(?)
If you can afford the 2020 iPad Pro why not 2021
Nice video. I just got the 12.9 128 2020 not even a year ago so I’m fine with mine. I really just use it for drawing and reading the news.
how is the drawing experience? i really wanna get an ipad for drawing but I don’t know which one
@@maramarmureanu217 drawing on the iPad is really fun and convenient vs a regular drawing tablet. I say if all you want to do is sketch/doodle nothing really important, go for iPad Air. But if you're more serious with your art, I think the iPad pro is best.
@@maramarmureanu217 it’s great but I don’t have anything else to compare it to
I have the 12.9 iPad Pro 1tb universal generation 3.......I hear allot of talk on the M1 Chip, but I don’t know yet since I had to put out $2400 for the: pen, screen protector, case, and the tablet
Good review. Exactly what I suspected with where iPadOS is and just how powerful the 2020 already was, as you pointed out. My only question is, what does the 2020 do performance wise the 2018 didn’t? They have the exact same performance. The 2018 has the same overall design less the rear camera module as the 2020/2021 iPad Pros, Apple Pencil 2 and Magic Keyboard compatibility and loads of untapped performance still. I think the M1 iPad Pro only makes sense coming from a 2018/2020 model if you do heavy 4K video editing. Otherwise, I just don’t see the case for it.
I feel like the 2021 iPad Pro will get a longer life as far as software support, but that’s about it. I’ll stick with my 2020 12.9
Thank you that was useful
here me on this: im coming from the 10.5 ipad pro and its on my wife now. now the 2020 ipad pro is on sale (brand new and bundled with the 2nd gen pencil) in my country as we are still waiting for the shipment of the new m1 ipad pro. do you think should i wait for the M1 or just grab the 2020 version?
2020 ipad. The fact that it is bundled with the pencil changes everything.
what would you guys recommend me to do if I never owned an iPad before? Considering to buy an iPad Pro 2020/2021 or even an iPad Air 2020..
If you want the latest and fastest one and have the money, go for the m1. You can find the 2020 12.9 models for $900 ish so if you just want an iPad Pro and don’t necessarily need the RAM speed and liquid display go with the 2020 model.
I have the iPad Air 2020 and the Touch ID is incredibly convenient. If you have heavy duty work like editing etc go for the IPad Pro, but if it’s for school, notes, art etc go for the Air but it’s ultimately up to you
Probably used ipad air 2021 but if you like face id like me get the pro
@@jethroramos6336 you’re wrong 2020 iPad Pro has Liquid Retina display

Came here to see if I should buy a used 2020 or just get the 2021. I don’t own an iPad but really want one. After watching this I think I’m going to go with the 2021.
Thanks for the video! It helped
Let me know which one you end up buying and what your opinion is because i'm also trying to decide between the 2!
I’d still go for the Ipad Pro 2018 to save some extra cash. The 2018 is no slouch for the average consumer. Can’t wait to get one soon. Great content! 👌🏻👏🏻
