1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,240
nobody does it quite like apple they've taken this super powerful m1 chip from

2
00:00:04,319 --> 00:00:13,120
the latest macbooks and put it in the brand new 2021 ipad pro along with more

3
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:15,519
RAM more storage freekin Thunderbolt and

4
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:19,840
arguably the most advanced display on a mobile device period i am really happy

5
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:25,359
about this direction because the thing is everyone including us knows at this

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:30,800
point that the ipad pro is not just a computer it's a computer for legitimate

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:35,760
pros so if that's the case why does apple keep treating it like a

8
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:40,559
toy for children to watch youtube and play cut the rope there's still no file

9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:47,280
copy progress bar you can't sideload apps it deserves better and this is

10
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:50,879
okay yeah hi hi i'm riley uh Linus needs a little break so i'm going

11
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:55,760
to tell you about our sponsor anchor the anchor nano 2 uses the latest 2nd gen

12
00:00:53,600 --> 00:01:00,079
gallium nitride technology which allows charging up to 65 watts in a small

13
00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:04,239
compact frame learn more at the link in the video description or at the end of

14
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,239
the video

15
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:18,000
i'm sorry i lost my composure it's just that the saga of the ipad pro has been a

16
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:23,520
bit of a wild ride for me i went from being excited about the future of truly

17
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:28,000
pro tablets to disappointed about apple's premature it's a computer

18
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:32,079
messaging when spoiler it wasn't yet then back to excited about the

19
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:36,720
computer-like features of ipad os the magic keyboard learning about the

20
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:42,479
workflows of real professional ipad os users they're out there we even edited

21
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:44,799
the last video about the ipad pro on the

22
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:49,600
ipad pro and according to mark it was pretty good but having just crested a

23
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:53,840
high point i find myself conflicted about the latest iteration on the one

24
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:57,680
hand apple has upgraded almost every aspect of this machine it's a hair

25
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:03,360
thicker than last year sure but the m1 so sees eight CPU cores eight GPU cores

26
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:08,080
16 neural engine cores paired with up to 16 gigs of RAM and two terabytes of

27
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:11,760
storage makes it by far the most powerful tablet ever

28
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:16,000
because no that thing doesn't count now most people

29
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:19,760
won't actually end up with that top spec because paying 2100 us dollars for a

30
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:24,000
tablet is actually illegal in many jurisdictions

31
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:28,000
fbi open up but hey if you're the sort of person who buys a new car when you

32
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:32,480
run out of gas then i guess you're above the law anyway so apple's got you

33
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:37,760
covered now in terms of performance in geekbench the m1 absolutely embarrasses

34
00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:42,560
its predecessor but in real world situations like lumafusion and premier

35
00:02:40,239 --> 00:02:46,800
rush rendering it only boasts a modest improvement in procreate for example you

36
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:51,120
can work with three or four more layers but that's it and it seems like the

37
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:55,200
reason for this is that most ipad apps haven't been updated yet to be able to

38
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:59,280
make proper use of the new horsepower including not being able to use more

39
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:03,440
than 5 gigabytes of RAM i'm sure the situation will improve soon procreate is

40
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:07,360
apparently already planning to add the ability to work with 3d models but for

41
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:11,680
now you might find yourself in a bit of a driving a formula one to work type

42
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:16,480
situation it's also enabled apple to take the game-changing edition of usb-c

43
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:20,800
on previous ipad pros and kick it up a notch thanks to its support for

44
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:25,760
Thunderbolt and usb4 this port's bandwidth went from 10 to 40 gigabit per

45
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:30,480
second allowing the new ipad pro to connect more displays drives and

46
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:34,159
accessories and even power apple's 6k pro display xdr though i suspect that

47
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:39,040
most of the people accessorizing their ipad with a 5 000 monitor treat our high

48
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:42,720
quality lttstore.com water bottles as single use

49
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:47,040
the camera and lidar sensor module on the back is pretty much the same as

50
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:51,599
before but this ipad pro has a new 12 megapixel ultra wide front-facing camera

51
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:55,920
whose true purpose is to enable center stage this feature is super cool it

52
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:59,519
allows the camera to zoom in and follow you around in your video calls and can

53
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,840
help keep multiple people in the frame at once even if they're the sort that

54
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:07,360
tends to kind of drift off that's really cool even if it reminds me of the

55
00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:11,439
facebook portal which was less cool like i know apple is probably

56
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,439
stealing my data even though they say they don't but for some reason it's more

57
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:21,359
comforting imagining tim apple watching me through the ipad camera than the zuck

58
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:23,759
oh Linus i love your passion but i will

59
00:04:21,359 --> 00:04:28,800
never answer your emails finally there's the most forward-facing upgrade the new

60
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:34,160
liquid retina xdr display that is 10 whole syllables to say every single time

61
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:39,759
but it's worth it it's got 10 000 mini leds split into over 2500 dimming zones

62
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:45,520
a 1 million to 1 contrast ratio and a whopping 1 000 nits of sustained

63
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:48,160
brightness 1600 peak now mini led

64
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:52,479
displays aren't capable of the infinite contrast and perfect blacks of an OLED

65
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:56,639
display so there is some visible blooming in certain scenarios such as

66
00:04:54,639 --> 00:05:00,960
viewing white text on a black background but when viewing HDR content the

67
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:05,520
difference between this ipad pro and the 2020 model is obvious enough that even

68
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:10,000
people who don't get sweaty thinking about hybrid log gamma are gonna notice

69
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:14,639
the xdr display is also great for creators whether you prefer the moving

70
00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:18,880
pictures or the still kind the m1 ipad pro now has both the horsepower and the

71
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:23,280
display to craft content with rich colors and deep contrast it's just too

72
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:28,160
bad that this fabulous screen is attached to a tablet that starts at

73
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:34,160
eleven hundred dollars before you add the 350 keyboard accessory ah yes

74
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:38,560
here comes the tone shift in this video because the thing is no matter how many

75
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:43,199
times apple calls this thing a computer after five generations of ipad pros now

76
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:48,400
they've made it abundantly clear through their actions that they don't actually

77
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:52,000
want it to be as good as your computer in some of our previous ipad videos

78
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:57,039
we've opted to look on the bright side of ipad os deficiencies especially in

79
00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:02,479
the context of macOS or Windows users who are trying to switch because the

80
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:05,440
thing is i get it ipads aren't for

81
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:09,759
those people they're for ipad users and fair enough once you master ipad os

82
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:13,680
multitasking get used to the system's quirks and learn how to use some of

83
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:18,560
these surprisingly robust apps that are specifically designed for the ipad it

84
00:06:15,919 --> 00:06:23,680
can be a capable and super portable daily driver but the weird thing is

85
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:26,479
apple must know that those people exist

86
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:30,720
and yet they outright refuse to add functionality to ipad os to make their

87
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:33,120
lives just a little bit better i mean we're talking about stuff here that's

88
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,960
just basic on other operating systems

89
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:42,479
connecting to servers and transferring large files is still heinously bad

90
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:47,520
there's no progress bar and the m1 ipad pro has more CPU cores and more memory

91
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:51,759
which helps it go faster but unless you check in on the file transfer later you

92
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:55,919
will never know if it actually completed or if it wigged out and like

93
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:00,160
i don't want to out anyone but i saw some ipad enthusiast content creators

94
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:03,840
that were praising the new ipad pro because it was able to complete file

95
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:08,880
transfers in the background without failing that's not a feature

96
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:14,319
that's the bare minimum and ipad os multitasking has come a long

97
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:18,960
way but there's still some weird quirks you know like you can have three apps

98
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:23,680
active on a screen at once that's great two in split screen and one in slide

99
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:28,479
over but in order to add an app to slide over you have to go to the home screen

100
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:33,759
open the app go back to the app you were using before drag up the dock then drag

101
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:39,680
the app from the recent app section up to slide over for context this way of

102
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:41,840
opening a windowed app was also designed

103
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:46,720
by an apple engineer the ipad team should hire them

104
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:52,240
any monitors that you might connect to the fancy new Thunderbolt port they will

105
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:55,360
still only duplicate the ipad screen

106
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:58,639
they won't extend it why would you want

107
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,800
two of the same thing onto two screens

108
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:06,560
at the same time and as for the app situation the truth is desktop versions

109
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:11,680
are still more functional lumafusion procreate they're great but what if you

110
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:15,759
like photoshop apple and adobe have been beating the full photoshop on the ipad

111
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:20,879
drum for years but according to apple's own

112
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:25,599
timepiece it is now 2021 and they're still working on that adding basic

113
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:29,759
desktop features like the magic wand raw file support and sharpening and don't

114
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:34,640
get me started on the fact that ipad os unlike macOS Windows and Android

115
00:08:32,719 --> 00:08:38,320
doesn't allow the side loading of apps outside of the app store an issue that's

116
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:42,479
received more attention in the wake of epic's lawsuit just let them win apple i

117
00:08:40,959 --> 00:08:49,519
would definitely give this thing a higher score if i could just download on it the worst part of all of this

118
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,040
is that apple spends almost 20 billion

119
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:56,240
dollars a year on research and development let that number soak into

120
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:59,120
your mind and then think

121
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:04,080
knowing that the only possible conclusion to draw is that when an apple

122
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:08,399
product doesn't have some basic functionality like tracking your

123
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:13,600
rollerblading workout on the apple watch it's because they just don't

124
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:18,080
want it to so coming back to the ipad pro then if it's hard to use as a

125
00:09:15,839 --> 00:09:21,920
computer it's because apple wants it that way they've added a few things here

126
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:26,640
and there to appease the more computer minded among us but they've also refused

127
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:31,839
to do these obvious things that would take it from a usable computer to a

128
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:35,519
great one and this inner struggle over the identity of the ipad was on full

129
00:09:33,839 --> 00:09:40,640
display during the epic trial where craig federighi testified that iOS was

130
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:45,680
designed to be simple and safe enough for infants okay

131
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:50,000
i guess that's fair but then why market the ipad pro as a computer replacement

132
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:55,920
for professionals when it's running software designed for babies

133
00:09:53,360 --> 00:10:00,880
in your own words now we're currently filming this video two days before wwdc

134
00:09:58,399 --> 00:10:04,720
2021 where apple is expected to announce some new features for the ipad os and

135
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:09,200
maybe they'll add a file transfer progress bar and support for extended

136
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:12,560
displays and full fat ports of desktop apps

137
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:16,399
and support for third-party app stores while they're at it but so far the

138
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,839
rumors point to more along the lines of allowing you to

139
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:24,399
arrange widgets on the home screen however you like though that

140
00:10:22,079 --> 00:10:28,720
would be an improvement sadly enough speaking of improving improve your

141
00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:33,519
charging speeds with our sponsor anchor anker's nano 2 wall chargers can charge

142
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:38,160
this ipad up to 80 faster than the stock 20 watt charger and can charge an iphone

143
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:41,920
up to three times faster than its stock charger does it even include a charger

144
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:45,839
anymore it uses the latest gallium nitride

145
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:51,279
technology allowing it to both charge faster and generate less heat and is up

146
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:56,000
to 58 smaller than other foldable wall bricks there are three different

147
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:58,000
versions 30 watt 45 watt and 65 watt and

148
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:02,240
is also compatible with samsung's super fast charging so why wait go check it

149
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:07,279
out the 65 watt version is capable of charging most laptops that can be

150
00:11:04,079 --> 00:11:09,200
charged via usbc and it's like this big

151
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:14,000
we're gonna have it linked down below if you guys enjoyed this video you might

152
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:16,720
enjoy our previous video editing an ipad

153
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:21,040
video on the ipad because we learned a lot about how this thing really is a

154
00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:27,360
professional computer even if apple refuses to make it one

155
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:31,360
and i am not going to put up with uh hi i'm lana i'm Linus
