00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.240
nobody does it quite like apple they've taken this super powerful m1 chip from

00:00:04.319 --> 00:00:13.120
the latest macbooks and put it in the brand new 2021 ipad pro along with more

00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:15.519
RAM more storage freekin Thunderbolt and

00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:19.840
arguably the most advanced display on a mobile device period i am really happy

00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:25.359
about this direction because the thing is everyone including us knows at this

00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:30.800
point that the ipad pro is not just a computer it's a computer for legitimate

00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:35.760
pros so if that's the case why does apple keep treating it like a

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:40.559
toy for children to watch youtube and play cut the rope there's still no file

00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:47.280
copy progress bar you can't sideload apps it deserves better and this is

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

00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:55.760
to tell you about our sponsor anchor the anchor nano 2 uses the latest 2nd gen

00:00:53.600 --> 00:01:00.079
gallium nitride technology which allows charging up to 65 watts in a small

00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:04.239
compact frame learn more at the link in the video description or at the end of

00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:04.239
the video

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

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

00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:28.000
pro tablets to disappointed about apple's premature it's a computer

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:32.079
messaging when spoiler it wasn't yet then back to excited about the

00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:36.720
computer-like features of ipad os the magic keyboard learning about the

00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:42.479
workflows of real professional ipad os users they're out there we even edited

00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:44.799
the last video about the ipad pro on the

00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:49.600
ipad pro and according to mark it was pretty good but having just crested a

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:53.840
high point i find myself conflicted about the latest iteration on the one

00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:57.680
hand apple has upgraded almost every aspect of this machine it's a hair

00:01:55.600 --> 00:02:03.360
thicker than last year sure but the m1 so sees eight CPU cores eight GPU cores

00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:08.080
16 neural engine cores paired with up to 16 gigs of RAM and two terabytes of

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:11.760
storage makes it by far the most powerful tablet ever

00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:16.000
because no that thing doesn't count now most people

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:19.760
won't actually end up with that top spec because paying 2100 us dollars for a

00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:24.000
tablet is actually illegal in many jurisdictions

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

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

00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:37.760
covered now in terms of performance in geekbench the m1 absolutely embarrasses

00:02:35.519 --> 00:02:42.560
its predecessor but in real world situations like lumafusion and premier

00:02:40.239 --> 00:02:46.800
rush rendering it only boasts a modest improvement in procreate for example you

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

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

00:02:52.959 --> 00:02:59.280
make proper use of the new horsepower including not being able to use more

00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:03.440
than 5 gigabytes of RAM i'm sure the situation will improve soon procreate is

00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:07.360
apparently already planning to add the ability to work with 3d models but for

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

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:16.480
situation it's also enabled apple to take the game-changing edition of usb-c

00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:20.800
on previous ipad pros and kick it up a notch thanks to its support for

00:03:18.239 --> 00:03:25.760
Thunderbolt and usb4 this port's bandwidth went from 10 to 40 gigabit per

00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:30.480
second allowing the new ipad pro to connect more displays drives and

00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:34.159
accessories and even power apple's 6k pro display xdr though i suspect that

00:03:32.480 --> 00:03:39.040
most of the people accessorizing their ipad with a 5 000 monitor treat our high

00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:42.720
quality lttstore.com water bottles as single use

00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:47.040
the camera and lidar sensor module on the back is pretty much the same as

00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:51.599
before but this ipad pro has a new 12 megapixel ultra wide front-facing camera

00:03:49.440 --> 00:03:55.920
whose true purpose is to enable center stage this feature is super cool it

00:03:53.760 --> 00:03:59.519
allows the camera to zoom in and follow you around in your video calls and can

00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:03.840
help keep multiple people in the frame at once even if they're the sort that

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

00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:11.439
facebook portal which was less cool like i know apple is probably

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

00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:21.359
comforting imagining tim apple watching me through the ipad camera than the zuck

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:23.759
oh Linus i love your passion but i will

00:04:21.359 --> 00:04:28.800
never answer your emails finally there's the most forward-facing upgrade the new

00:04:26.080 --> 00:04:34.160
liquid retina xdr display that is 10 whole syllables to say every single time

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

00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:45.520
a 1 million to 1 contrast ratio and a whopping 1 000 nits of sustained

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:48.160
brightness 1600 peak now mini led

00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:52.479
displays aren't capable of the infinite contrast and perfect blacks of an OLED

00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:56.639
display so there is some visible blooming in certain scenarios such as

00:04:54.639 --> 00:05:00.960
viewing white text on a black background but when viewing HDR content the

00:04:58.880 --> 00:05:05.520
difference between this ipad pro and the 2020 model is obvious enough that even

00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:10.000
people who don't get sweaty thinking about hybrid log gamma are gonna notice

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:14.639
the xdr display is also great for creators whether you prefer the moving

00:05:11.919 --> 00:05:18.880
pictures or the still kind the m1 ipad pro now has both the horsepower and the

00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:23.280
display to craft content with rich colors and deep contrast it's just too

00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:28.160
bad that this fabulous screen is attached to a tablet that starts at

00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:34.160
eleven hundred dollars before you add the 350 keyboard accessory ah yes

00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:38.560
here comes the tone shift in this video because the thing is no matter how many

00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:43.199
times apple calls this thing a computer after five generations of ipad pros now

00:05:41.520 --> 00:05:48.400
they've made it abundantly clear through their actions that they don't actually

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:52.000
want it to be as good as your computer in some of our previous ipad videos

00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:57.039
we've opted to look on the bright side of ipad os deficiencies especially in

00:05:54.320 --> 00:06:02.479
the context of macOS or Windows users who are trying to switch because the

00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:05.440
thing is i get it ipads aren't for

00:06:02.479 --> 00:06:09.759
those people they're for ipad users and fair enough once you master ipad os

00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:13.680
multitasking get used to the system's quirks and learn how to use some of

00:06:11.440 --> 00:06:18.560
these surprisingly robust apps that are specifically designed for the ipad it

00:06:15.919 --> 00:06:23.680
can be a capable and super portable daily driver but the weird thing is

00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:26.479
apple must know that those people exist

00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:30.720
and yet they outright refuse to add functionality to ipad os to make their

00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:33.120
lives just a little bit better i mean we're talking about stuff here that's

00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:36.960
just basic on other operating systems

00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:42.479
connecting to servers and transferring large files is still heinously bad

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

00:06:45.280 --> 00:06:51.759
which helps it go faster but unless you check in on the file transfer later you

00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:55.919
will never know if it actually completed or if it wigged out and like

00:06:54.000 --> 00:07:00.160
i don't want to out anyone but i saw some ipad enthusiast content creators

00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:03.840
that were praising the new ipad pro because it was able to complete file

00:07:02.400 --> 00:07:08.880
transfers in the background without failing that's not a feature

00:07:06.880 --> 00:07:14.319
that's the bare minimum and ipad os multitasking has come a long

00:07:12.080 --> 00:07:18.960
way but there's still some weird quirks you know like you can have three apps

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

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

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

00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:39.680
the app from the recent app section up to slide over for context this way of

00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:41.840
opening a windowed app was also designed

00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:46.720
by an apple engineer the ipad team should hire them

00:07:44.960 --> 00:07:52.240
any monitors that you might connect to the fancy new Thunderbolt port they will

00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:55.360
still only duplicate the ipad screen

00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:58.639
they won't extend it why would you want

00:07:55.360 --> 00:08:00.800
two of the same thing onto two screens

00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:06.560
at the same time and as for the app situation the truth is desktop versions

00:08:04.080 --> 00:08:11.680
are still more functional lumafusion procreate they're great but what if you

00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:15.759
like photoshop apple and adobe have been beating the full photoshop on the ipad

00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:20.879
drum for years but according to apple's own

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:25.599
timepiece it is now 2021 and they're still working on that adding basic

00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:29.759
desktop features like the magic wand raw file support and sharpening and don't

00:08:27.520 --> 00:08:34.640
get me started on the fact that ipad os unlike macOS Windows and Android

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

00:08:36.640 --> 00:08:42.479
received more attention in the wake of epic's lawsuit just let them win apple i

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

00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:51.040
is that apple spends almost 20 billion

00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:56.240
dollars a year on research and development let that number soak into

00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:59.120
your mind and then think

00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:04.080
knowing that the only possible conclusion to draw is that when an apple

00:09:01.680 --> 00:09:08.399
product doesn't have some basic functionality like tracking your

00:09:06.160 --> 00:09:13.600
rollerblading workout on the apple watch it's because they just don't

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

00:09:15.839 --> 00:09:21.920
computer it's because apple wants it that way they've added a few things here

00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:26.640
and there to appease the more computer minded among us but they've also refused

00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:31.839
to do these obvious things that would take it from a usable computer to a

00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:35.519
great one and this inner struggle over the identity of the ipad was on full

00:09:33.839 --> 00:09:40.640
display during the epic trial where craig federighi testified that iOS was

00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:45.680
designed to be simple and safe enough for infants okay

00:09:42.880 --> 00:09:50.000
i guess that's fair but then why market the ipad pro as a computer replacement

00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:55.920
for professionals when it's running software designed for babies

00:09:53.360 --> 00:10:00.880
in your own words now we're currently filming this video two days before wwdc

00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:04.720
2021 where apple is expected to announce some new features for the ipad os and

00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:09.200
maybe they'll add a file transfer progress bar and support for extended

00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:12.560
displays and full fat ports of desktop apps

00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:16.399
and support for third-party app stores while they're at it but so far the

00:10:14.800 --> 00:10:19.839
rumors point to more along the lines of allowing you to

00:10:18.160 --> 00:10:24.399
arrange widgets on the home screen however you like though that

00:10:22.079 --> 00:10:28.720
would be an improvement sadly enough speaking of improving improve your

00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:33.519
charging speeds with our sponsor anchor anker's nano 2 wall chargers can charge

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

00:10:36.160 --> 00:10:41.920
up to three times faster than its stock charger does it even include a charger

00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:45.839
anymore it uses the latest gallium nitride

00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:51.279
technology allowing it to both charge faster and generate less heat and is up

00:10:48.640 --> 00:10:56.000
to 58 smaller than other foldable wall bricks there are three different

00:10:52.560 --> 00:10:58.000
versions 30 watt 45 watt and 65 watt and

00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:02.240
is also compatible with samsung's super fast charging so why wait go check it

00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:07.279
out the 65 watt version is capable of charging most laptops that can be

00:11:04.079 --> 00:11:09.200
charged via usbc and it's like this big

00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:14.000
we're gonna have it linked down below if you guys enjoyed this video you might

00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:16.720
enjoy our previous video editing an ipad

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:21.040
video on the ipad because we learned a lot about how this thing really is a

00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:27.360
professional computer even if apple refuses to make it one

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
