i recently picked up the new ipad pro m1 third generation
and wanted to share my thoughts on it as a coder content creator and entrepreneur before we get
into it though make sure to hit that subscribe button for more tech and coding related videos
give this video a thumbs up if you want to see more tech product reviews
also shout out to some of these subscribers here i see you some of you have been with me for
so long and i just your family now and i just wanted to shout you out okay let's get into it
first off i wanted to talk a little bit about why i decided to get the ipad pro
as someone who works from home from my macbook pro m1 pro you might be thinking tiff what is
the need for an ipad what are you really going to use it for well the answer is a twofold the
first reason is i'm simply a tech geek and just love trying out new products and sharing
it with you the second reason is i am going to be traveling more and when i'm traveling i
really like to carry something light that i can still do my work on especially when on a plane
let's talk specs of the ipad i chose i got the silver ipad with 128 gigabytes it has 8 gigabytes
of ram the apple m1 chip and eight core cpu with four performance cores and four efficiency cords i
got the smallest amount of storage because i'm not really going to be storing anything on this ipad
rather just utilizing it especially as i mentioned when traveling okay now let's talk performance
i'm going to pull up geekbench score here and show you just how amazing performance this ipad
really has also in regards to performance apple claims that the new m1 chip is up to 50 faster in
terms of cpu performance compared to the 2020 ipad pro which has a12z bionic chip and that's pretty
impressive stats if you ask me okay let's dive into battery life a little as i mentioned multiple
times as i'm using this for traveling battery life was very important to me i didn't want to have to
be worried about is my ipad going to die quickly am i going to have to charge it on the plane
and so that was a huge factor to me that i spent some time doing research on apple states that the
battery life is up to 10 hours when you are either surfing the web or watching a movie
okay getting into 5g capabilities the 2020 i had an old ipad actually from 2020
and it only had 4g capabilities so it was another really big incentive to upgrade to the ipad pro
11 because it comes with 5g capabilities okay from a content creator standpoint let's talk
about the camera this is one of more of i would say the exciting upgrades of the ipad pro 11.
uh the third generation ipad pro 11 comes with 12 megapixel front true depth with ultra wide camera
as you can see here when you zoom out you will see a ton more of the environment you are trying
to capture okay you're gonna see a lot of me right now but this is essentially when the
lens is zoomed out you can kind of get a bigger picture here i'm on video right now on the ipad
so you can kind of get a sense though and i will switch to photos so you can see as well that the
front-facing camera you can have the option to really expand the lens which i think is really
great feature especially for content creators it's something that i know i would find very useful
also the new front camera allows for extra features they introduce such as one called
the center stage where the camera will actually track and follow you during a video call i thought
it was pretty cool that if more than one person is in this video call the camera will accommodate to
that and pick up the faces and also expand to try and fit everyone in the camera or the lens okay
let's talk about or let's answer a question that i had which is can you code on it i mean my first
answer is you can code on pretty much anything so immediately yes but i wanted to know if this is
something that i would feel comfortable coding on is a screen big enough for me to code on and just
really how i felt with it my initial reaction is i wasn't certain if i was going to be able to code
on it but i actually got a external keyboard that i hooked up to the ipad and it really makes coding
on it pretty seamless from a coding standpoint let's get one thing clear i am not building large
applications on an ipad pro but rather i find it really good and i wanted something that i could
use that i could practice leak code questions on how to rank questions on essentially just practice
algorithms when i'm traveling i find i usually want to i get motivated or inspired to practice or
brush up on my algorithms it's probably the only time i actually get motivated to do so so i always
try and take advantage let's get one thing clear i'm not someone who loves practicing algorithms as
i'm sure most of you who code do not but i do find when i travel or am on planes and have a lot of
time on my hands that it's a good way to kind of force myself to brush up on my skill set so that's
really when i take advantage of it i just go into the browser and go to leak code or hacker rank
and start brushing up on it i do find that i absolutely need to have an external keyboard
one of my favorite accessories for the ipad pro is logitech keyboard and it's super easy to use and
it also acts as a case which is a win-win okay now you know some of my reasons as to why i chose to
upgrade but if these reasons or these features aren't really important to you i would say
upgrading isn't necessarily something that you really need to do there is still a lot of amazing
things on for example the ipad pro 11 2020 with a lot of the same features as well so it really has
to be either the camera the front-facing camera now overall i would say if you are someone who is
enticed by some of these features or specs that i laid out i definitely think it is worth the
upgrade but if you have for example the ipad pro 11 from 2020 i don't really think it's necessary
unless some of these features really entice you more for me some of the differences as
i mentioned that really enticed me were the 5g capabilities on the third generation ipad
pro the new m1 chip the ram options and the new front camera and thunderbolt charging
if these reasons are all important to you then upgrading is most likely worth it i hope you found
this video very helpful and useful if you are someone who's researching on ipads and considering
upgrading i know for me it really felt worth it and i really had a positive experience so far
using it leave in the comments other products that you want to see me review and if you haven't
