Only reason to upgrade is the pro motion display sucks that they lock it behind a 400 dollar price premium

Brighter and the nano screen hopefully makes it usable in full sun. That’s really all I want and they addressed it. Landscape camera too.

We witnessed today the end of an era…..so disappointed with the releases of the last 3 years, garbage after garbage…..why bother to get an M4 if there won’t be any apps just like today there are no apps for the M2 iPad Pro……I waited 2 years for apps that Apple promised and were never delivered by the developers, Pro tools, After Effects, even Maya was promised and never released…..so ask you, Mw CNET, why do we need an M4 chip for apps that could run easily with an old iPad pro from 2018?? Be honest with your audience. The financial situation of the country is edging poverty for most of Americans. It’s no time to advice people to buy things they don’t need…..nothing, and I mean nothing justify the upgrade, at least on the pro side. Nobody will notice the difference running an M1, M2 AND M4 iPad. I have the fort 2, and they run exactly the same. Same speed, same everything, like iPhone Pro Max 13/14 and 15. I have them all and they are the same. I see no difference at all using them……honesty is needed more than ever……typos by iOS……

I have the og iPad Pro, and always used the folding magnetic folio case. Whenever I take the case/cover off I’m always wowed by how slim it is, even to this day. I’m honestly so shocked they’ve managed to make it even slimmer 😮

A lot of money for just a device that you can read books, magazines. And watch youtube videos and answer emails. Perhaps if it was about 1/2 the price of what they are asking maybe. But does anyone really need a M4 Chip in the unit????

The thing thats cool to me, is im broke AF, and getting a ipad is literally something i NEVER will buy because im poor. But, that being said, i give props to Apple for making something i know i will never be able to afford, but really want it still. So yeah, thats my two cents. ✌️

For 2026, I wish ! , I envision a new size standard featuring a fully active screen: the iPad A5 with a 10-inch M7 MicroLED, the iPad A4 with a 14-inch M7 MicroLED, and the iPad A3 with a 20-inch M7 MicroLED. It’s a logical progression, ….. isn’t it?

Thank you! With the iPad Pro, Apple has finally turned a gigantic iPhone into a small laptop! The iPad Pro has always had powerful hardware (and a hefty price tag!!!), but to be honest, there has never been software truly suitable for the iPad Pro! It was like having a laptop with iPhone software, and that was why iPads were only bought for kids, not for office use. Applications like Capture One, Photoshop, Acrobat Reader, Preview, file management, and closing an open program… everything is 10x harder or impossible with iPadOS! Hopefully, Apple will finally introduce a “MacOS” and not just iPhone software (marketed as “iPad OS”) for the “modular MacBook Air with a touchscreen and stylus” (also known as “iPad Pro”), otherwise, Apple itself will be to blame for the downfall of the iPad Pro. Paying EUR 3,500 for a fancy laptop with iPhone software is an intelligence test, not a deal!

Apple should support Mac OS here so that the upgrade will be useful, but they won’t in order to differentiate this from mac’s

I’m telling y’all that iPad Pro is going to flop…. It’s an amazing product, but a lot of people will find very hard to justify dropping nearly $2K or more on a device that can’t even run macOS because it’s artificially capped to force you to buy a Mac as well… I won’t be upgrading my iPad…

If the stylus works on the new ipad air which have the specs similar to the previous ipad pro, will it work on the previous ipad pro?

@SFAutor
May 9, 2024 at 7:13 am
It is common knowledge that sales of tablets, not just iPads, have been stagnating for some time. Apple’s keynote on May 7, 2024 seemed to me almost like a liberating blow to boost the market once again by adding more features and performance to the existing model types. I can’t see the debut of the M4 processor in the iPad Pro any other way.
Basically, as a fan, I am thrilled with the technology that Apple has come up with for the new iPdPro. M4 chip, OLED display and a particularly bright one at that, which can also be ordered with a matte glass. Two display sizes, plenty of memory on request, a new Apple Pencil, which is now also “Pro”, and more …
Of course, this is a fantastic device with an incredible amount of power, plus even thinner and lighter, an absolute highlight. But I also wonder who is going to pay for it. The price of an iPad Pro with a Pro configuration is easily in the range of a MacBook Pro – and in that case I’d rather go for the MacBook.
Even with the configuration of the iPadAir, which is far less favorably equipped, you quickly reach the 1000 euro mark.
The more I think about it, the more the attempt to save the iPad seems a failure to me, because users these days are not necessarily looking for even more overdrive performance, for even more money, but will, if they are smart, stick with their old iPad Pro models. They may only have an M1 or M2 chip, but they are far sufficient for everything I can think of.
Of course, the hardcore users who seriously do video editing on the iPad will say that everything is even faster now, but I assume that 98 percent of all normal users won’t notice the difference at all.
So the event didn’t make me want to buy anything, rather the opposite. The iPad is in danger of losing its main focus. An overpriced super tablet for which there are only a few pro apps for pro users will not sell very well, not at this price. I still can’t find a killer app myself that I like to use it for. For Final Cut and Logic Pro I have my desktop Mac and for on the go a MacBook is more attractive. So the final question for me is still: “iPad, where do you go?” 🤔
