I am having zero problems with text sharpness on my 13; maybe I’m not sensitive to whatever issue others are seeing but it looks sharp and clear to me using 100% dark mode across all my apps.
Got a tip for us?

That is a pretty stark difference. I can't really tell, but is there a screen protector on the older IPP? Does the new one have a screen protector on too?
In-store I couldn't discern much difference between my M1 IPP 12.9 side-by-side with the new M4 13. I had to stare and look for differences as they were not obvious. It was like trying to find Waldo. If the difference was like the image you posted then that is undeniable improvement, but alas that was not the experience for me against the 5th gen IPP. Glad you're enjoying your new IPP.
11” never had miniLED so when you tested a 12.9” that panel is much better compared to the new OLED when it comes to brightness.
Good points. Well never know what Jobs would do; but we can observe what today’s leaders at Apple will do. Hopefully we will know more in a few more weeks.
All I returned is the Magic Keyboard that I will never use!
My 13” is a keeper for sure.

Perhaps you don't have a partner that shares your bed every night and wants to sleep when you continue to read? I use the iPad Mini for reading books and the Dark Mode option really helps reduce emitted light. YMMV.What type of psycho reads in the dark with light text on a black background? Do you just hate your eyes?
yep, they never brought the good display tech to the small ipad, the one i use since it is the perfect weight and size to take with me everywhere i go. So it’s the very nice but still very side lit IPS 11 of this oled. I am starting to miss my IPS for ease of reading and consistent color accuracy
Returned my 13”+MKB for a 11” with no accessories for ‘pure’ tablet experience. Funny how I naturally started using the 11” in both portrait and landscape mode vs the 13” where I used landscape exclusively.
I will say the 11” display is slightly warmer than the 13” which was cooler similar to my iPhone 13 Pro. Interesting but I prefer the warmer tone as it’s more inline with what my OLED tv is calibrated to.

Well, the 11 is more rectangular, while the 13 is more squarish. Rotating the 13 doesn't really change a tremendous amount, like rotating the 11 does.
I returned my 11-inch M4 + Magic Keyboard. For the use cases I have, the M4 just wasn't a noticeable improvement over the M2. If Apple would have allowed the M4 MK and Pencil Pro to be used with my 11-inch M2, I would have kept the MK and bought the PP. So, Apple lost out on some of my money.
Is the screen and case vibration from the speakers? I thought the speakers are weaker on the M4s.
Yeh from the speakers, and the volume was not set too high either, they were lacking detail, mainly in the mid to high end.
Exactly! A MacBook is always the much better and cheaper laptop than the iPad Pro…
Just reading this on my M1 iPP 12.9 (white letters on dark background). No blooming at all!
This new M4 should be recalled.
Poor speaker quality
Vibrating
Screen grain
Not as sharp as M1 ipads
Screen causing nausea and sleepiness
What else?
No wonder so many are trying to feel happy about buying a flawed product.
Bought the M1 iPP 12.9 last week with 16 batterie cycles for halve the money of the M4 version! It even has better speakers, a SIM slot and an UW camera…
That's absurd. Find a new vendetta, this one is really tiresome.
I see none of those. No wonder so may people are trying to justify not buying an expensive product.
