Not an iPad Pro Review: Why iPadOS Still Doesn’t Get the Basics Right

Let me cut to the chase: sadly, I don’t have a new iPad Pro to review today on MacStories. I was able to try one in London last week, and, as I wrote, I came away impressed with the hardware. However, I didn’t get a chance to use a new iPad Pro over the past

iPad Pro 2024 Review: Why Not Make This a Mac?

Apple's highest-end iPad still feels ahead of where the Mac is in some ways and behind it in others. It makes me wonder, more than ever, why there's a line between iPads and Macs at all.

Pretty sure this is at 15:00 BST, not 2PM, Mr. @Fire Wizard

Opps, my mistake. Feel free to correct it, Feek.

 

[Fire Wizard]

It would be nice if Apple updated the AirPods Max as well as transitioned things like the Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad to USB-C. I am not entirely sure why it's taking them so long to do so but it appears that's not happening any time soon.

 

[Fire Wizard]

Not long to go now, ladies and gentlemen.

I've love one but expecting a cost increase; its already over not that far off £3000 for a 1TB/5G model with a pencil and magic keyboard - I can't justify that for a device that I can't do my day to day job with

If there is going to be a price increase, let's hope it is minimal because that price is ridiculous already. Wowzers!!!

 

[Fire Wizard]

Oooooo the M4 chip.

 

[Fire Wizard]

The base model iPad Pro 12.9" with the Magic Keyboard is £1,648.00. Hmmmm.

 

[Fire Wizard]

I wish they would make more colorful smart folio covers for the iPad Pro. They are so bland.

 

[Fire Wizard]

I am currious as to why the battery life of iPad's have remained exactly the same as the very first iPad that was introduced. Even when Apple transitioned iPad's to the M-Series chips, there has been no improvement to the battery life and yet MacBooks have had a substantial improvement.

 

[Fire Wizard]

MacBooks were using Intel x86 architecture whereas I assume iPad was already using some custom ARM based CPU?

They have gotten a lot more capable, so I guess it balances out. Sounds like most people would prefer battery life though.

Oh, yes, good point.

Some hands-on and thought videos regarding the new products announced.

 

[Fire Wizard]

It looks like some people are upset over the iPad Pro advert.

A crushing backlash to Apple’s new iPad ad

A bit over the top but there you go. I just see it as the iPad Pro being a creativity monster.

No they haven’t. They’ve said what it says on Apple’s website.

That doesn’t mean to say in practice that they definitely don’t work together. Hence why I am asking someone to try it.

I'm afraid the old Magic Keyboard doesn't work with the new iPad Pro's. Zollotech tested it.

I have just received my iPad Pro 13". It really is crazy how light and thin this device is. How well do the blacks blend into the bezel on your devices? Maybe I am nitpicking but I swear they aren’t as good as the blacks on my previous M1 iPad Pro and certainly not to the same level as the blacks on my iPhone 14 Pro.

 

[Fire Wizard]

I have had the M1 and I find the M4 just as good if not better at the blacks blending into the bezel.

I am not saying yours is your faulty or that you have bad eyesight. But I literally put my face up to the IPad and could not see where the Bezel and a full black screen began.

Wow, really? That’s hugely disappointing because that’s nothing like my iPad. There is a very clear separation between the bezel and blacks being displayed on the screen.

 

[Fire Wizard]

Can you post a pic of it.

I will try and get a picture when it's dark.

Standard or nano?

Standard panel, not the nano texture.

The colours are stunning. Maybe it's me nitpicking.

 

[Fire Wizard]

I am going to conclude myself that I was nitpicking. Now it has gotten darker, the blacks blend into the bezels much better. I think maybe I was being deceived by the reflective coating. I was being silly, as usual. The colours are truly stunning and wow, it is so light to hold. Amazing!!!

 

[Fire Wizard]

The iPad Pro is by no means cheap but it is certainly a superb device. The following video is a nice way to show what the display is capable off.
