Not sure what this means? Tell that to the sketch artists. What Apple Pencil can be used on an iPhone?
What about those who use an iPad as a control surface or remote with their Recording application/DAW?
There are apps that are iPad specific too.
The form factor and size of the display is what changes how an iPad is used or how it's utilized.
Not to mention, certain applications aren't even appropriate for an iPhone that are best suited for an iPad.
1600 nits doesn't crank up for sunlight or reading email. HDR movies and TV shows and games. Do you have an HDR TV? True blacks and high contrast. That is what the 12.9 screen gets you. If you don't need that, don't get it.
is not true blacks !
how many billions and billions times people tell you that you are wrong
Well, I got my iPad Pro 2022 today and I gotta say, I’m not super happy with the screen. I’m getting some ugly scroll motion blur, especially when the Night Shift is on. Texts turn yellow when I scroll. I took a video of it so you guys can have an idea of what I’m talking about. My iPad Pro 2020 never did this even with night shift on. I might try to get a new one, but if this is what MiniLED has to offer, Im going to stick with mine 2020 iPad Pro
As I said in your dedicated thread, I see this on my 2021 12.9 Pro as well, but only since updating iPadOs to 16.1. Before that I never saw this. So it seems to be a software bug but then I‘m surprised that not many more folks see this on their iPads.
Edit: Night Shift is always off on mine.
It's got a lot of blooming but it's much, much brighter compared to the best OLEDs out there.
Quality over quantity. Don't see the obsession with looking into a spotlight. I have to turn down OLED to ~50% otherwise it's too bright. OLEDs (1, 2 and 3) outrank because they don't have the Dirty Screen Effect (DSE) of mini-LEDs (4 and 5). Phones have switched to OLED so just a matter of time until tablets get them too.
My point is clear here, those who think mini led isn't better is just a wrong statement. LCD is perfectly good and doesn't mean the ipad pro isn't great to use for all content but it won't be as good as mini led.
This is an interesting debate - and one that is always ongoing between OLED and LED based tech. I believe it was Vincent Teoh over at HDTV Test that went into a nice explanation on the benefits of LED when it comes to bright color volume … an area where OLED typically doesn’t hold up as well - typically brightness is reduced and tonemapping is used to bring brightness levels into the range of the panels best working ranges.
Personally I’m fortunate enough to own an LG OLED CX 77 that I absolutely love… in a dark room it gets very bright.
That being said, I’ve seen Sony’s latest LED master series z9K with master drive backlight…
I’d take the Sony mini-led any day of the week, it’s superb all round.
I’ve personally no issue with mini-led in iPad pro 12” … in fact I think i’d prefer that they retain mini-led until brightness levels (with consistent color volume) for color accurate workflows can be achieved on an iPad with OLED display.
Just my 0.02.
of course...LCD and micro_led are the 2 biggest tech in displays...LCD will be the past and micro-led the future...in transition in between we got Oled....but mini-led is an much improvement over an grown LCD tech , lets remember that lcd improved over decades while mini-led is still in the early stages and already in front of it in key areas.. Think about if Apple will double the dimming zones for every mini-led displays 1-2 years from now...Lets not forget how oled pixels , especially the blue ones are burned if you use 1600-2000nits too much...while mini-led is almost immune to that. Thats why professionals nowadays wants mini-led and improvement in the near future of mini-led tech until micro-led is here

You should try to watch Vincent's explanation of TV brightness and perhaps understand more on the topic:
The 12.9 iPad is actually fine for watching movies, rather spectacular for 4k HDR, I just find it blooms too much for text on black background. It never stopped me from reading though.
I have found that it seems that it could be trying to connect to the 5GH bandwidth on my Netgear Nighthawk R9000 router as I now have the iPad connected to another router on the 5GH bandwidth.
Do you see a difference between 11 and 12.9 when looking at photos? I'm not talking about HDR videos, but normal photos.
