So we just had the announcement of the brand new iPad Pro M2 but lots of you are wondering how does
this compared to the last generation iPad Pro M1 so today what I'm going to do for you I'm going
to do an iPad Pro M1 versus iPad Pro M2 review of specs to see what the differences are between
last year's model and the most recent M2 model 2. so let's begin then with this comparison so
on the left side we have the iPad Pro 12.9 inch M2 the 2022 model and then on the right we have
the iPad Pro 12.9 M1 model from 2021 so let's begin then first of all with the display time
so the display type is exactly the same in both of these iPad Pro Models they're both a liquid resnet
xcr display and this is a mini LED display on the 12.9 models there is no difference here whatsoever
between both these models in their actual display you'll see exactly the same sort of features isn't
brightness and colors everything like that of both of these models the same for the actual
screen size as well nothing has actually changed at all here and actually the actual main body of
these iPad Pros haven't changed at all either so they've both got a 12.9 inch display on both of
the models so there's absolutely no differences whatsoever here at all you're going to get that
12.9 inch display that we've had on the larger iPads for quite a while now the screen resolution
though well first of all I must say the aspect ratio is 4x3 and this is exactly the same on both
the models but the resolution is really really good it's basically a 2K resolution at 2732 by
2048 resolution what is really really clear with that liquid resnet xcr display on mini LED is
quite phenomenal to see and basically what this translates to in pixels per Ridge is 264 pixels
per inch yes it's maybe less than say an iPhone but at the end of the day you're not going to be
holding up this iPad closer to your face you're going to be putting it on the table holding it
in your lap or something like this where it's a little bit further away from your eyes so you
will see that complete Clarity on that PPI that 264 pixel per inch or both of these models were
exactly the same then next of all we actually have the display refresh rate So Pro motion has been
out now for quite a while in fact the iPad Pro is the first to get it some years ago and it's
a pro motion 120 hertz display and again it's that mini LED technology there is no difference here in
both of these models they both have Pro motion but it must be noticed it's not the type of same Pro
motion that we get with the iPhone 13 Pro and the 14 Pro Models where it can be scaled down and go
up it's a constant 120 hertz refresh rate all the time and it can't be scaled down there's no always
on display or anything like that for it after this we've actually got the display protection both
of these iPad Pros actually have Gorilla Glass 6 on them which really really strong really really
tough kind of display on them at your day it's not as tough as say the ceramic glass but either
you're not gonna be throwing these iPads into your pocket because they won't fit at all but they are
still quite tough for what they are for both of these models next of all is the processor and the
CPU and this is where the biggest change comes between both of these models so both of them do
have the M chipset we've got the M1 last year and we've got the M2 this year but the M1 for
example features four efficiency cores and four performance cores and also has an a 8 core GPU 2
whereas the M2 does have at the exactly the same with the four efficiency cores four performance
core and also this time though does have a 10 core GPU it's a little bit more powerful also something
else with the M2 chipset has inside here is a video encoder and decoder this is normally only
exclusive in the M1 series from the M1 Pro onwards for the M2 basic chip does actually have this so
for video editing and things like this it's going to be really really good on the M2 chipset so if
you're definitely going to be doing video editing I would highly recommend getting the M2 iPad Pro
12.9 Models it's definitely going to be worth it obviously the M2 chipset is clocked a little
bit higher than the M1 also these chips that both run on a five nanometer die there is no difference
here whatsoever on that the M2 is definitely faster and if you want to see a complete sort
of Benchmark on that do check out the MacBook Pro and also the MacBook Air with the M2 chipset
that came out earlier this year to see the kind of benchmarks you're going to see I'd personally look
at the MacBook Air because there's no kind of fan calling inside the iPad Pro very similar to the
MacBook Air and this will give you kind of a true comparison the kind of what scores that you're
probably going to achieve out of the iPad Pro M2 next of all we have the RAM amount now the ram
amounts are both exactly the same with both these models you can have ever get 8 or 16 gigabytes
but that depends on the amount of storage that you actually choose what I'll get on to now so
with the storage you have a choice between 128 gigabytes and that goes up to 256 gigabytes 512
one terabyte and two terabyte and this is on both of the models now if you do want to get that 16
gigabytes of RAM inside it you do have to pick the one terabyte or the two terabyte option on both
the models if you pick say a 256 gigabyte model of storage here you'll only get eight gigabytes
of RAM and there's no way you can upgrade this at the store or online or anywhere like that
it can only be done if you pick a higher storage amount next of all though we do have the operating
system and both of these iPads can run the latest Apple iPhone iPad OS 16. the latest version that's
just come out so all the features that you saw at WWDC earliest year are available on both of
these iPads what is really really cool next of all we actually have the battery size the batteries
again are identical in both of these iPad Pro Models for the 12.9 inch model the M2 and the
M1 it's a 10 758 milliamp battery in all fairness what's probably most likely going to happen with
the M2 iPad Pro it's battery might drain a little bit quicker not by much compared to the M1 mainly
because it's running on the same sort of die the nanometer die and the clock speeds are slightly
higher as well so based on this I would actually say the M2 is going to probably sip tiny bit more
battery than the M1 but it's not going to be much in it probably when the M2 sort of runs out of
battery if you use it from 100 to zero percent the M1 would probably still will probably be on
something like seven or eight percent battery there's not going to be a massive difference
between these but obviously yeah the M1 will have basically slightly better battery life inside it
moving on though you do have the wired and wireless charging so both of these iPads
Pros have USBC ports at the bottom and the main difference is I would say with the iPad Pro M2 it
does have 20 watt charging whereas the original iPad Pro 12.9 inch with the M1 has 18 Watts
charging again there's not much in it also sadly there is no wireless charging we were hoping that
magsafe was coming to the iPad pro this year but it sadly didn't come we'll probably have to wait
for the redesign which probably going to come most likely next year or in 2024. then after this we
actually have the weight the weights I'm pleased to say is exactly the same on both iPad Pro Models
the 12.9 inch ones and that's 682 grams there's no differences in weight against both of these models
then there's water resistance sadly again none of these iPad Pros have any water resistance in them
because it's unlikely you're going to take it near like a lake or pool or something like this so with
that there is no water resistant whatsoever ever on both of these models for ports as I already
spoke about already it does have a USB C port and both of these are Thunderbolt 4 ports so they're
really really fast and snappy and quick if you want to plug in accessories by the USBC port and
talk about accessories there is an iPad accessory port on the back what are the three pins it is
free pins on both the models and this allows you to like hook up to say like the magic keyboard for
example if you wanted to do that and some other accessories too it's also worth mentioning as
well that both of these iPad Pros are also can work with the second generation apple pencil 2.
stereo speakers both of them have them the volume in both of them are basically exactly the same
the speaker sets are exactly the same on both of the iPad Pro Models and then 5G capability
is available on both of these models so if you did want to pick the cellular option to get 5G
out and about you can pick that and have that on both the M2 and the M1 model for Bluetooth
technology the iPad Pro 12.9 M2 model does have a slightly enhanced Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.3 this
time around where's the iPad Pro as the standard 5.0 so slight you know Improvement the best of
slightly technology in Bluetooth technology there on the iPad Pro with the M2 chipset for
rear cameras basically they are exactly the same they both have a 12 megapixel wide 10 megapixel
Ultra wide up to 4K video recording and they also do have both the lidar sensor but what I
would say is that the M2 does have better machine learning in its CPU so maybe pictures with machine
learning might come out slightly more crispr than you have on the M1 if you were to think about that
and definitely do it but to be honest there won't be much different on that for selfie camera it's
exactly the same on the front they both have a 12 megapixel Center Stage 4K recording abilities but
like I said with the M2 chipset with that machine learning you might get slightly better footage on
that but not much in it then for Price the pricing I'm pleased to say is exactly the same it's 1099
US Dollars and this is for the base 128 gigabyte model so that is really really good to hear about
that for colors sadly this is one downside to the iPad Pros is that there's only two colors
available you've either got the silver or you've either got the space gray so they're exactly the
same on both models there is no difference here on the M2 or the M1 iPad Pro so with that guys
what iPad Pro Model will you be buying this year so as you can see there isn't that much difference
between the iPad Pro M1 and the M2 just mainly the chipset is the main big difference and like I did
say in the video I'd say the main reason to get the M2 chipset and the iPad Pro is definitely if
you are going to be doing video editing especially with that video encoder and decoder and also that
extra sort of two GPU cores that are inside the chipset it is also still a shame that you can't
pick for higher amount of ram unless you get a higher amount of storage but you know that was
the same with the M1 iPad Pro so I'd love to know what your thoughts are on the new
iPad Pro M2 will we be picking that or we'll be picking last year's model the M1 let me know in
