If you are going to post a video without even commenting about it, it’s just a troll thread.
I just wanted to see how people would react on MacRumors vs people on YouTube, especially with users here with Apple or Apple brandings in their username.

not sure how it’s trolling tho when it’s just a video. Unless you’re insinuating that the YouTuber’s video is trolling. But I’ve seen threads here posting Max Tech videos with a positive response. I guess people are okay with videos just as long as the videos agree with their views.

One of the better edited HDR videos out there, looks amazing on the mini led iPad.
It does look good. Better than 9to5Mac’s extremely saturated and dark HDR videos.

But like most other HDR videos it may be too bright for my preference.

Again, even the first reviewer...should know the beta 1 is not the final release...so things like storage connection and format, limited 5g of ram and so on...can be improved with further betas...
is not granted but apple always bring with every beta until fall release new things and new "under the hood" improvements and features

You didn’t have a view you just dropped the video lol, just stirring for reactions. People that post videos usually say why they do or don’t agree.

It is not trolling really, it is the truth. It is honestly better to just buy a M1 Macbook Air / Pro + iPad Air / Mini than a M1 iPad Pro at this point if Apple refuses to address the software limitations.

I knew what I was getting myself into when I bought the M1 iPad Pro (since I have 3 other iPads aswel) so I am fine with the limitations of this so called “Pro” devices and I can “break” the limits by using remote access to a real computer If I wanted to work on this thing (which I don’t, because I use Mac’s or PC’s with multiple big screens).

It isn't better if you want an iPad with a 12.9" display (and you don't want a Mac, which I don't).

Yep this guy gets it
And I like the title.. it’s clickbait in a manner that it perhaps could be negative, but he shines a positive view on it.

And I’m growing tired of the narrative ”oh the M1 iPad Pro can’t do what the Mac does,” then my response... get a Mac. I understand these comparison videos is to help purchasing decisions. But when comparison videos lean so heavily negative… then at that point, they are being biased toward their own preference.

No, I don’t have a view. I literally say in the comment that you quoted me in, that I was seeing the different reactions on macrumors & youtube. Lmao

But wow, you really really called me out. People on neutral ground don’t go steering the narrative from the get go.

that’s all right by me. Drop the video so we can look at it and make our own comments in our minds as to what was shown. Just dropping a video was no big deal, but your comment was unnecessary

Rest assured next year when the M2-iPadPopo comes around with another marketing gimmick he will post 26.83 videos praising it before release sqrt(99) more in the week after the release comparing it to everything including the kitchen sink and then maybe one final one (or two) whining about it just isn't something noone ever promised it to be.


You know cos thats his livelihood......

Exactly, i haven’t found anything I can’t do on my M1 12.9” i was doing on my Late 2015 27” imac i sold for a month now.
I actually prefer IOS, people bang on about Mac OS on a iPad, oh no it’s not a pro without it.
I would like a 24” iPad :)

Like everything in computing the experience will differ for each user. If you can live in the cloud and have workflows that are optimized for mobile then you can do it iPad only.

For me, missing stuff like being unable to format external storage is a big miss. Same is being unable to see how much storage is free on them. Or how big a folder is.

FileBrowser Pro will give me folder sizes, System Status app (by techet) tells me storage used/available on attached storage.
