this new iPad Pro is amazing it gets Apple's nextg M4 chip no MacBook has
that it gets the most advanced OLED display not found in any MacBook and
look when I put it on the new magic keyboard it's better than a Macbook even
the prices are comparable and yet is
there a person who can actually use this Hardware without the software getting in
the way H let's try and find them but first before the logo comes up let me
show you this new Mac Address Oxford shirt that replaces the old shirt I wore
in the First macad dress video that ripped you can get this at LTD store.com
and it comes in tall sizes it's
great at 5.1 mm this 13-in iPad Pro is
the slimmest device they've ever made I've always found the big iPads to
be a lot but this is a lot less and
that's all thanks to this screen it's the largest device Apple has ever fitted
an OLED to and that means that each pixel is its own source of light with
plebian Liquid Crystal technology the light source is separate from the
display this means that if you're displaying something dark or black an
OLED pixel can just switch off and be black while its neighbor is still
shining bright whereas older screen technology is trying to block out light
like a curtain and pixels that are still shining will at best be grouped into
dimming zones leading to orbe fireworks
OLED's Advantage is also its disadvantage because each pixel is is
responsible for output and extra voltage causes them to break down they don't get
very bright certainly not bright enough for Apple's 1600 n xdr standard which is
why the iPad Pro has been using a mini LED backlight as a compromise and only
on the larger screen models until
now Apple's solution to this OLED disadvantage is to just use two of them
this iPad and the smaller one too has a tandem OLED they call Ultra retina xdr
it really is a sight to behold the blacks are so deep and the highlights so
bright that when you're watching HDR content you really feel like you're
peering into another world there's just so much potential
here LT Labs tested this display and found it to be astonishingly bright
after half an hour this display was still blasting a full white screen at
1,000 nits it's impeccably accurate too
especially in reference mode in fact they compared it to that five fig
professional HDR reference monitor editors salivate over this isn't five
figures but it's most definitely four because of a $200 price increase the
11-in pro now starts at $1,000 base storage has increased to 256
GB a nice bone disp passionately thrown our way but it's still a big inflation
pill to swallow for what is an iPad a
very powerful iPad at that only 7 months after releasing the the M3 Apple put the
all new M4 chip in this the Chip's main
claim to Performance is the neural engine which boasts 38 trillion
operations per second it's over double the M3 and there really for all the
future Apple intelligence stuff they announced at
WWDC that's all great but I can't think of a device in Apple's lineup that needs
more power less than this and it's
because of this iPad both of them are
going to get iPad OS s 18 in a few months but this iPad uses an iPhone chip
that's almost 8 years old now empowered
iPads are certainly more capable with Stage manager virtual memory and a few
exclusive apps but this iPad definitely
has its wings clipped because it's running the same OS as this old thing ah
are we entering the rant section of this video well while I'm on that I should
let you know that this fine woven watch band literally stinks
I'm still gutted that Apple doesn't make any leather accessories but dbrand still
does and I'm going to put it on this iPad check this out it's their brown
leather skin this is high-grade vegetable tan leather no painted or
stamped surface here and that means that you'll get patina it's available in
three colors black tan and this brown and you can get it for all your Apple
devices and Beyond head to dbrand.com
leather because this smells so good now
I've been using this fully kitted out iPad Pro for the past few weeks and I'm
still running into roadblocks when editing the WWDC video a
while back I needed to go through the event video file to find the moments for
the editor to cut through I was able to open the almost 200 GB prores file in
the file app off our server and scrub smoothly on Wi-Fi amazing but the time
code isn't displayed like in QuickTime on a Mac instead it only shows the time
remaining you have a time based calculator what Apple's upgraded $300
plus magic keyboard is a dangerous peripheral it's very nice the typing is
amazing the function row welcome and the haptic touchpad
perfect it'll make you think that using this iPad will be just like any MacBook
you've used before that is right up until an app decides to ignore trackpad
functionality entirely
Google is perhaps the most pernicious offender many of the most used buttons
in their apps just won't work when a mouse or trackpad is involved like the
full screen button on YouTube If an ad has played or Simple Text selection in
Google Docs this orb isn't a
finger remember back almost 3 years ago
when I tried to import photos from a shared Google Drive still can't it's
really shocking maybe I should switch to Microsoft apps oh no word still does
that cursor delay thing iPad OS also
still only handles one audio Source at a time in the worst way so if say you're
listening to a podcast on YouTube and scroll past a muted video on Twitter
your podcast will pause the room what are we even doing my MacBook can play
Everything at Once there have just been so many frictitious moments when using
this that I can't imagine using an iPad instead of a
laptop while we're in tablet mode the new pencil Pro is a big surprise for me
it's 30 price tech is the exact same as the old one but it's a complete redesign
enabling a landscape front camera and a whole host of features there's a squeeze
gesture for quick access to tools and menus which you can feel thanks to the
hap tick feedback perhaps the most amazing is the barrel roll feature which
sendes rotation when you're using linear brushes and tools and look at this in the notes app
they render a shadow of the tool you're using when you hover this is so
delightful there's someone in apple who remembers how Magic works it even now
has Fine M though I should know it's not Ultra wide Bend so it only functions
vaguely like most airpods and you can only find it with the iPad for some
reason it's in this mess how am I going to the it didn't add a speaker where
does it beep oh there it is I'm Too
Tall we already determined that the apple pencil was worth its price tag a
few years ago this definitely changes the game but it should also note that
this is compatible the less expensive M2 iPad Air 2 with every release I always
hope that the iPad will somehow make more sense but Apple keeps pushing the
envelope on this device in really weird
ways I feel like because of the iPad's limitations the way you use it is more
personal someone might love taking handwritten notes whereas for me it's a
couch computer for online shopping article reading and YouTube video
viewing someone else might have a killer app they use exclusively and so perhaps
at these exorbitant prices the iPad is worth it for a select group
H if you are a display nerd you will
definitely want this iPad in your life the screen is that good if you
are a video editor who wants to grade
HDR content this screen is that good I actually got Hoffman to try it and he
said that it's a display he can trust though sidecar's Apple ID requirements
are really annoying and what about the compression
if you are
wealthy this is definitely the iPad to get if you want an iPad that will last a
very long time well because of the M4
processor upgraded pencil Pro and this screen now is the time to buy an iPad
Pro because this will last as long and perform just as well as the 2018 iPad
Pro I know many people are struggling to upgrade from now that's kind of the
ideal iPad for me come to think of it unfortunately it's probably not going to
be supported for much longer I still like using an iPad in my life but as a
supplemental computer definitely not my main one opening my Mac after using this
feels like such a breath of fresh air and there's a good future to think about
LG the maker of Tandem OLED displays just recently announced their
manufacturing laptop displays so it's likely we might see this on the next
MacBook Pro now we're talking thanks for wring up this Mac
address to 1,000 nits if you're going to use an iPad outside it's got to be this
I am curious in the comments if you would spend the extra money and it is a
lot for the tandem OLED screen and if you want to watch one of our other
videos maybe watch the one we did 3 years ago on the M1 iPad Pro just to see
how little things have changed when it comes to iPad capability
