Please don’t speak on my behalf. I use my iPad 8-12 hours a day and it’s been a real improvement for me.

iPad Pro Returned M4 day after

I'm probably going to return my iPad Pro M4 11. I received it on Wednesday moved everything over and it is . .fine. I was coming from an M1 11 iPad and while I can tell a difference, it's probably not worth $1000.
Everything is faster but outside of a few apps, they were already fast enough. The only app that has me tempted to stay is Roon which I use extensively and it was always slow on my M1. It flies on the M4, a substantive improvement that is easily 5 to 8x faster. However, other things are faster (Safari, WSJ, NY Times, etc) but as I said they were already fast.
As far as the display goes it is nicer. Not 10x nicer but nicer.

Do you have a 12.9 m2? That is the only device that will bloom.
edit: this is blooming
i'm not sure if you've actually been enjoying pro motion if you thought the 9.7 pro had it. then again, maybe you're speaking philosophically "i can imagine whatever experience i want"
How?
I’m sorry I don‘t believe you for one second. I am typing this on my nano 1TB 13 inch and it’s lovely but your talking nonsense…
I’m on the verge of returning my iPad Pro 13. Don’t get me wrong I like it, it’s lightweight, extremely portable and fast but the thing that lets it down for me is the OLED. It’s just looks too yellowish to me and that’s with True Tone turned off. Much prefer the mini led screen on my 12.9, even the screen on the M1 11 iPad Pro looks better to me.
Apologies, I meant my 10.5i'm not sure if you've actually been enjoying pro motion if you thought the 9.7 pro had it. then again, maybe you're speaking philosophically "i can imagine whatever experience i want"
I have a 12.9 M1 which was the device that started bloom-gate as it was the first to get mini-LED
And it looks nothing like that in real life, you've fallen foul of "looks much worse in a photo"
I stand corrected for the m1 12.9 being miniled.
but the blooming in the dark does look that bad IMHO.
You can set your own white point on an iPad, can’t you?
Use Reference Mode on your iPad Pro - Apple Support (GW)
The Liquid Retina XDR display on your iPad Pro can display reference color for popular color standards, as well as SDR and HDR video formats.
was just thinking this - I read my iPads in bed with the brightness all the way down and the "reduce white point" at 80 or even 90% - works great for crashing quickly.You can set your own white point on an iPad, can’t you?
but I like the less blueish color of my display.Use Reference Mode on your iPad Pro - Apple Support (GW)

Then you have a faulty device. That looks like the photos people were posting in 2021 which were proven to be vastly over-exaggerated by the camera.
You gotta be trolling, aren’t ya?
It was quite obvious (at least to me) that an OLED display won’t change anything. Just more oversaturated colors, flickering, probably burn out in 5-10 years perspective.
I have had multiple OLED devices and believe me I know what I am talking about, these are not game changers and never have been.
I still remember those posts on MacRumors forum where people asked Apple to add OLED because every Android phone already had it. They have added it, aaaaand? Nothing really changed. I can barely tell difference in iPhone 15 and iPhone SE displays except for the slight brightness increase and oversaturated colors in 15, and my eyes get tired faster

Yep - here's what it looks like in real life next to the regular LCD in the prior Pro:
Jobs was principled yes, but very smart people, while principled, aren’t afraid to change their mind when they discover new information. Case in point, the iPhone 5 was the last iPhone Jobs was involved with, and the first to have a bigger screen. Hence, he was already beginning to change his mind about something he had been outspoken about. I have no doubt that Jobs would have eventually come around to the benefit of the even bigger displays we see now when he saw how they could benefit the customer.
Being willing to change your mind is a key part of the creative (and product development) process. Jobs knew that. If it turns out there’s a new product category or need for a new product line with combined macOS tablet / notebook, Greg Joswiak and has already stated they see them as two separate products, yes, but that they can’t rule out changing their minds.
They gotta invite Greta for their next iPad ad, make her sort the trash and have a slogan in the midst of a video “Let us sort it out for you*”

I guess cause Apple isn’t telling you it’s a good idea you hate the idea. But if Apple released it you’d be its number 1 fan?
sorry for teasing! in fairness, i do get the spirit of your point! i don't mind the slower pixel refresh on my miniLED macbook pro compared to the OLED iphone - i can still tell its different, but that particular difference doesn't impede the product for me. i'm sure for others it definitely could though. i've been spoiled by 120hz in general as well as any sort of local dimming, so its hard for me to go back to 60hz or lcd backlights on any new purchases.Apologies, I meant my 10.5
THIS, right here. All the people bagging on me for wishing this powerhouse came with the ability to run MacOS will be praising Tim Cook's brilliance for revolutionizing mobile computing again like they'd been simping for it all along the moment he announced it.
I tried but it still looked the same. It’s a real shame it’s a nice device but when all colours have a yellowish hue to them and I’m looking at my monitor then the iPad and the colours look vastly different I just can’t trust it or use it for what I bought it for.You can set your own white point on an iPad, can’t you?
