apple just ruined the brand new m1 ipad pros
for both myself and a lot of people out there and for those of you guys that
watched wwdc like i did and were really disappointed
there's also a couple very sneaky things that they included
that makes me wonder will this ever be a laptop
replacement so let's go ahead and talk about what they have changed and also
what they haven't and why this ipad really doesn't make any sense for me
anymore and with that why a lot of people are saying they are
now going to be returning their m1 ipad pro now then when ipad pro
is arguably the biggest leap in ipads ever
obviously it is the best ipad ever made but the jump that we got
with this new m1 chip added is just mind-blowing it completely shocked us
when apple announced it in multiple ways but the biggest one is
just that m1 chip that is designed for their desktops now because these tablets
are so incredibly thin we for sure thought that the performance
is not going to come anywhere near an m1 macbook pro
and that they are going gonna thermal throttle quite a bit so we gave you guys
estimates on the performance but when we actually got them in and we tested it
we were just shocked by how well they performed
and how little thermal throttling there was in such a thin
chassis and since they're using the m1 chip of course you have eight gigs of
ram at base which is crazy for a tablet already at least an ipad
and up to 16 gigs at the high end and up to two terabytes of
ssd that is extremely fast way faster than
before and you can get all of that even on the 11 inch which comes at a base
price of just 800 bucks and on top of that you
factor in having a really nice sharp colorful display
great quad speakers that this one sounds actually better
than the macbook pros you add in an awesome
front camera we have rear cameras on the back which you don't get on a macbook
you can use the apple pencil as well and the base 600 nits of brightness
are about one to two hundred minutes brighter than a macbook
not even including the xtr display and then you grab the xdr display and the
larger model right here where that screen is just so amazing
when you're watching movies with deep blacks it just looks
stunningly good so you take all of that you add that value then you
get yourself a magic keyboard that works incredibly
well although it is expensive or with that now you can get something
like this bridge keyboard that just came in
a 250 for this larger model 100 less than apple's option
and it literally turns it into something that looks
like a macbook bam look at that right there
this has so many people excited about the fact that they can get
one device one ipad and now have insane performance of
m1 in an ipad with thunderbolt built in and they can have all those
extra features and benefits of an ipad that you can't get in a macbook now
is the time to ditch mac os in a macbook and just go
for an all-in-one device well unfortunately that didn't happen if
you guys watched our performance comparison
in things like adobe rush it actually exported it slower than the
older ipad pro and then all the other issues that people had
with ipad os such as filezap being very limited
we had issues with thunderbolt not being able to connect properly some of our
drives didn't connect other ones that did connect were much
lower than on a macbook pro we also found no differences at all
between 8 gigabytes and 16 gigabytes of ram on the ipad pro
and we did a bunch of different exporting tests productivity tests
we even opened up tons of apps and there was no difference at all in fact the 16
gigabyte version closed an app earlier than the 8 gig version so that
was a shocker and then we found out that the ipad os
actually has a limit of 5 gigs per app so it's literally hard
cut all of those issues and limitations had
a lot of reviewers including us kind of just scratching our heads saying
yeah this thing is insane this is a perfect laptop replacement
has the performance but the software is just so
limiting and we're not really getting anything new and i said that
you know when was the last time your ipad pro was too slow given the things
you could do on it the old 2018 version even where
you say hey i need it to be faster it's all software limited and all of us were
saying wait for wwc wait for apple to step up
wait for us to get pro apps such as xcode and final cut
maybe we're going to get new updates for the files app to make it a lot more
usable like an actual mac and in reality apple didn't give it to
us and i think the ipad west portion was probably one of the biggest
disappointments out of the whole show now yes there are a couple legitimate
cool features that are being added you guys let me know what you're most
excited for down in the comments section but if i look at my notes list here the
ipad os section has literally the least added
new features and some of the things are just kind of
like why didn't we have this before for example widgets being able to be
added on wherever you want okay android's had that for
such a long time that's been a part of ios before that
or the app library okay i guess that's nice to have that as well
but it probably should have been there before we have updates for multitasking
which is great but it's not really a new feature
they kind of fixed it where before it was very confusing to
use and sometimes it took multiple tries now they just made it easier and more
intuitive to use so it's not really a new feature and then of course we have
the notes feature which i'm going to go in detail in our
next video and hopefully i'm going to download the beta
version but that's not really giving us anything really wanted with the m1 ipads
to harness all the extra performance and
capabilities that's just making it easier and better on the software to use
an ipad as an ipad apple also showed off other
software in this section that applies to a lot of devices
not just the ipad kind of like they wanted to make this a little bit longer
for the ipad and then they also showed off swift being able to compile and
update straight out of that which is great but people want
xcode on the ipad and it doesn't seem like apple is wanting to give it to us
and the same thing with final cut pro i would love it so my
whole thought with this ipad once i got it
once i used it just like a lot of you guys is i don't
really need a macbook anymore as soon as i get an update to ipad west
we can make it be more usable with external drives make it work remove some
of those limits software limitations for ipads
get a software that can actually utilize this crazy hardware
i will switch over i have this crazy all-in-one device that is good for
everything on the go it's productive you can do entertainment
play games touch screen on there excellent machine
all-in-one that's all i need now but apple obviously
does not want us to use this as a macbook replacement
and the proof of that is when they took this thing out and they showed off
the update to where you can actually switch your cursor from your mac
and scroll it to an ipad that is sitting next to it
and then do your ipad things on the ipad and then bring it back into your mac
to do the mac things either the macbook and then you can bring your macbook
next to your imac if you want a larger screen
so what apple wants you to do is not replace your mac with an ipad
they want you to buy this ipad which this one right here is about two grand
for this package it goes even higher than that and then they want
you to buy a macbook for when you need to do
real things like if you want to edit with final cut you want to use xcode and
other programs logic on the go and then if you want to do it at home
buy another one it will allow you to put all three next to each other
and just move things from one to another and that just has me thinking
wow that is incredible is apple ever going to make this the kind of machine
that it should be with the hardware that's inside
will the software ever catch up now to me
after seeing that knowing that we're not going to get another ipad os update
for another year is it even worth having this device like i mentioned earlier
all the things i could do with this machine i could do with the 2018
ipad pro same keyboard same capability same new ipad os with the notes feature
this hardware this m1 chip isn't being fully utilized even in
gaming in video exporting it's not being fully
utilized right now and apple is keeping it limited with
their files app and other features so what's the point of having this
machine and i know a lot of people agreed
we're seeing tweets people saying hey i'm returning my ipad
if i have this hardware for this much money i spent but i can't really make
the most of it and i still need to keep my macbook
there's no point to having and personally
and unfortunately my return window closed on friday so
for anybody that bought this at launch and got it right away conveniently
fridays when the return window closed wwc
is monday and all of our hype waiting for this machine
to become an actual pro machine where you can replace
your macbook and you can do everything on it well all of that was just crushed
and i think apple just ruined the m1 ipad pros they're still great
ipads but they're not laptops they're nowhere near
what they could be and we guess we're gonna have to wait even longer
and based on what apple showed off i don't know if they're ever gonna want
this to be
a macbook replacement just by limiting the software but you guys let me know
what you think did apple ruin the m1 ipad pro
or is this still worth upgrading from your 2020 ipad pro 2018
is this the machine that could do everything for you is it what you wanted
with this new software or were you hoping for more i want to
hear you guys honest opinions now i'm going to do a video
on the top features getting into that with ipad os

subscribers before the end of the year we would greatly appreciate it
and this has been max and i'll see you in the next video
