iPad Pro Ipad Pro 12.9 Regular Video Watching

[jw1977]

If you're watching say a regular Youtube Video on a iPad Pro 12.0, does the video take up the whole screen when holding it horizontally? What about on the 11 inch iPad Pro?

Yes for IPP 12.9 and YouTube

Depends on the video. A lot of new videos are widescreen so you get letterboxing.

This is not true unless it's specifically meant for the iPad aspect ratio which maybe a handful of videos.

Btw, you get less letterboxing on the 11" vs the 12.9"

Just tried 10 random YouTube videos - each filled the screen perfectly on my IPP 12.9 - I’m sure there are plenty with aspect ratios that don’t perfectly - but most seem to fit without any visible “letterboxing”

Some movies on Netflix / Apple TV are wider and still fill the screen but get get clipped at the sides - easy to double click on the screen to fit = letterboxing

I've owned almost every iPad since their creation and unless you manually select to fill the YouTube videos, effectively cutting off all the sides, then what you're saying is not true. Maybe you have the YouTube setting to automatically fill (zoom to fill screen in settings) but that's not native resolution for any iPad.

As I said every single iPad will have letterboxing in YouTube except for those made specifically for an iPad resolution which are few and far between. Maybe check your YouTube settings.

Here's an example of a video shot specifically for the iPad 12.9" 4:3 ratio:

Yes, this is the right response (I have the 2021 12.9).
