Poll: *** The Official 2024 iPad thread (the Pro has the M4 chip and everything!) ***

[pcfarrar]

Benchmarks for the 9 core M4 Pro are out now:

iPad16,4 - Geekbench

Benchmark results for an iPad16,4 with an ARM processor.

browser.geekbench.com

Not a huge difference vs the 10 core model that got 3767 in Single Core and 14677 in Multi Core.

 

[GoRedwings19]

Going to pick up the standard iPad 10 at the new price.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a case that's kid-proof? I don't need any handles or silly characters or anything, but it needs to be fairly rugged to handle the abuse. We also go away in our campervan a fair bit, so being able to survive the travel would be good.

Spigen tough armour series?

Spigen tough armour series?

Good shout, thanks. I'll take a look.

There's a website which tracks Apple product prices and you can see if it's cheaper to buy in the US for example, but I cannot find it. My wife is in the US a few times this month and it might be an option for her to get a replacement Air while out there.

It's not: https://www.applepricecompare.com/ipad/pro is it?

That's not the one I recall, but it does the job I guess. Seems to be a decent saving getting one from the US.

 

[b0rn2sk8]

I can see it making sense to buy some Apple products int he US but potentially not others. On my do not buy list is basically anything with a keyboard or a cellular radio in it and currently, the Apple Watch. The issue is that basically just leaves iPads and airpods...

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.

The iPad Pro with M4 and OLED is significantly more powerful and colorful than the previous generation. It’s also still just an iPad.

Someone has been busy. Did you watch any of them?

 

[Barks]

Has anyone confirmed yet whether it still works with the old (M2 iPad) magic keyboard.

If it does I will probably upgrade.

I can’t confirm personally but any review I’ve watched has said no. New Magic Keyboard and pencil required for those who use them.

My iPad Pro from Apple dispatched for delivery tomorrow via DPD.

Does anyone think it's worthwhile Upgrading a Gen 5 iPad Pro (M1) to the new M4?

 

[Cromulent]

Does anyone think it's worthwhile Upgrading a Gen 5 iPad Pro (M1) to the new M4?

I have the 11" M1 iPad Pro and I'm sticking with it. My usage just doesn't warrant the expense. I'd much rather save the money and upgrade my Mac Studio when the new ones come out (whenever that may be).

I did, worth it for the OLED screen.

No it doesn;t the magnets are in a different place so now it won't even stick. Don't get me wrong I love the media keys and stuff on the new keyboard But I wouldn;t of mind using the old had it come to that.

@pcfarrar Mine has been dispatched as well. Even worse I have two on the way with two magic keyboards. That will teach me to get super hyped and order too many. Got in touch with Apple support to cancel but they wouldn't let me cancel it.

At least Apples return system is second to none.

Got excited when the missus said there was a boxed delivery for me. Turned out to be the Homepod Mini I'd ordered with my iPad Air. I was expecting them to arrive at the same time!
Great little device and exactly what I needed to pair with my phone and mac mini. Need to buy one more so I've got a stereo pair on my desk.
