M4 iPad Pro Reviews: Incredible Speed and Display Hampered By Software

This is a contradiction. The simpler explanation is that people like the iPad as is.
That doesn't sum it up at all. How do they know that the M4 has incredible performance when there is allegedly no software to demonstrate it?
Because there is tons of software to demonstrate it. Just not something someone else needs, therefore there is nothing, apparently.

The last 14 years of iPad have cemented the fact that the tablet form factor is NOT the inevitable be-all-end-all form factor of future computing like this people decided it was 2 decades ago. It is a great computing canvas, but touch is not a replacement for indirect input. And iPad sure has hell is a touch device, and does need an OS that is largely indirect.
She's an Apple ad machine. She legit can't even say one criticism of any Apple item. I stopped watching her videos for a while now. I tried to watch her iPad video but changed it once she said you can connect the iPad to a monitor and use stage manager. She basically described what is already possible on the previous version.
I just believe that the iPad is what you need it to be. Everyone uses it in different ways. The tech reviewers see the price of the iPad and since it costs the same as a MacBook Air, it should do the same things. No, the MacBook Air does not have a touch screen or detachable keyboard and iPad does not run MacOS.
Sorry, but you could argue that performance is also hampered by the footprint of the device. The thermal ceiling of the iPad would limit sustained performance regardless what OS is running on it. It’s almost like Apple optimized the OS for the type of device it would be running on or something?
Unfortunately Apple doesn’t currently have the luxury of designing an optimized SoC for every device they make, so until then we have to put up with stupid statements like, “CpU tOo pOwErFuL - Os nO gOoD!” Never mind the benefits of all the other parts of the SoC the OS can make use of and of course its overall efficiency.
The irony of the software argument is that Music, Podcasts and Books are vastly superior user experiences on iPad than they are on Mac. It's almost like the Mac apps are gimped to make you also want an iPad, and the iPad is gimped to make you also want a Mac. But Apple wouldn't do that because they're all about the planet...
Hello everyone we heard you want to install macOS and macOS apps on your iPad ok then here you are enjoy half the battery life and earning your hands up on the display while trying to draw.
Nah, they’re writing from the perspective of a Mac user (someone that doesn’t know “Notes” exists) that has to pay their bills.
I’ve seen that link posted in a LOT of places, so, good for them for the effective clickbait! Hope they have a really stellar summer vacation!It’s a terrible product and terrible people like it, so it sells terribly well.
Why are they terrible? Because they’re fine not having a filesystem!
I suppose your use case is rather limited compared to what most power users require.
Not an iPad Pro Review: Why iPadOS Still Doesn’t Get the Basics Right
Let me cut to the chase: sadly, I don’t have a new iPad Pro to review today on MacStories. I was able to try one in London last week, and, as I wrote, I came away impressed with the hardware. However, I didn’t get a chance to use a new iPad Pro over the past

Instagram is full of power users on their iPads doing great stuff. Those people are making great art. Reviewers are not on their level.
I always put reviewers and YouTube benchmarked ads on the low tier of who to trust. I put the real users on the top tier of who trust. The real users are out there showing their skills instead of making noises on forums.

There's different kinds of power users. One cinematographer could prefer the mobility and convenience of FCP on iPad. Another is chained to their Mac because of Premier. Different users have different use cases, the same is true for power users.
The reviewers were falling over themselves so hard to be the first one to say “CHIP HOT OS NOT!” that none of them said that one if the subtle yet important differences between the mini-LED screen and the DoubleOLED screen is that the color for OLED is bright all the way to the edge. I’d gotten kind of accustomed to expecting that small color fall off at the edges that, when I saw the OLED screen, the sharp bright edges stood out.
And now, back to your regularly scheduled “but the filesystem tho” already in progress.

Same old broken record Apple.......... If you continue to refuse to bring MacOS and iPadOS together at least allow us to dual boot and be done with it........
Enough already.....
Why do I need a separate MacBook Air and an M4 iPad Pro????? Answer.... To increase Apple profits, make me shuffle hardware all day and depress my user experience .......

Come talk to us when you see a 120-165hz screen for the first time. No, it doesn't make a difference when watching 24fps content. But it makes a massive difference everywhere else.
