Still using my 2018 11” Pro, and no complaints. Haven’t upgraded yet, cause it still works great. Have an M1 Max laptop and it’s definitely the best laptop experience I’ve had, and the tablet has been the best tablet experience I’ve had.
@@thesamuelnam imho / there’s lots of good stuff out there and it comes down to people use case, and preferences. The apple stuff works together really well, so after trying quite a few other devices/brands, this is the set up I landed on.

oh man I've got the same 2018 13" iPad Pro… and I was thinking the same when they introduced the newer versions a couple of months ago. This thing still feels smooth as butter, can edit 4k video without any issue… Also, love the sense of humour in the video!!
Yeah. I saw tests between video editing and there's barely any difference with m1. But surprisingly the lightroom photography tests made a huge difference.
My 2018 IPad Pro is now needing a new cover stand….wore it out….so bought new cover and plan on giving this 2018 IPad Pro to my daughter then buy the new 2024 iPad pro
@@billnipp. I’m glad yours old one is going good. Mines nearly 7 years and I’m having problems big time. Changed the battery, but still draining big time and switching off regularly for no apparent reason. I think there’s an LED one coming next year.
@@thesamuelnamI bought an M2 iPad Pro to replace my 2018 iPad Pro about a year ago whenever the M2 came out, but I also went to the M2 12.9” from the 2018 11” so it was kind of worth it for that reason - Only issue I have is my iPad Pro 12.9 and Surface Pro 9 are competing in the same space some of the time, even if there are things only the iPad can do, and only the Surface Pro can do I feel a bit wasteful having both
Great video! Was thinking the same, but there is significant difference between these models while editing multiple 4k video feeds. For other 99% of use cases there is absolutely no need to upgrade.
Yeah I definitely fall into the 99%. Going from my 2018 to trying an M1 pro, it just felt like the M1 just couldn't stretch it's legs enough to make sense. Like being given the keys to a bugatti and only being allowed to drive it around the parking lot
Thanks for the vid ! I'm a character designer, working in the animation industry and its been ages since i wanted an ipad but wich one ? For real i felt so overwhelmed and lost with all of those models, years, generations yada yada and the prices OMG ! I just need something powerfull and smooth enough to be able to draw anything, anywhere. You convinced me to buy the 2018 ipad pro !
I absolutely agree with you on being frustrated by the software not taking advantage of the hardware. What frustrates me more is that it's likely at least partially a deliberate decision by apple to avoid cannibalising their macbook sales. Switching from my 2018 ipad pro to my friends m1 pro, I was disappointed how little difference I felt. They're both just as fast navigating through the OS, and I only got a marginal increase in the maximum number of layers I could use in procreate.
I just bought a refurb late-2018 iPad Pro today off Amazon (less than $475. for 256gb cellular model) after spec comparing everything between it and the newer models. It'll be my 2nd display for my MBP M1 when on the go, and my Apple Fitness/News/TV+, etc travel companion. It'll never be my primary workstation, really, and so couldn't justify the costs difference between it and the 2022 models. Also... great videos. Looking forward to more. Subscribed.
I will be doing the same with my ipad via sidecar. Although after intensive researching and returning to eBay lol I have decided to get M1 12.9 Pro for $200 more. How’s your 2018 holding up?
I had a 10th gen iPad th-cam.com/users/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA . Felt it getting pretty slow at times even after doing a reset. So I am using that as a tablet for my 5 year old son and got this 9th gen version. MUCH faster, a little slimmer, smaller bezels, all around a leap forward. Plus, for the price that’s about $130-$150 cheaper than a current new model this is a nice deal. I look forward to the M-series CPUs coming into iPads which will really help future proof these tablets better but these latest CPUs are pretty strong and should do better to last several years with no compromises.
I mostly use my iPad Pro only for Art. A good animation software would make it a good improvement.The additional power really a big improvement, since I mostly only use Procreate and ArtStudio Pro. And these apps really benefit from the extra speed. And dont mention the hover feature...
do you have iPad Pro 2018 for using Procreate? My one and only goal to have iPad Pro is to have Procreate, but I dont want to give out such a lot of money. Many thanks for your kind reply!
@@vespa595 yes. I do use procreate. I own a 2018 iPad Pro. But I use it for simple illustrations and not for anything complicated. Since there is a limitation on the number of layers you can add.
I’m in exactly the same position. My 2018 iPad Pro is by far my most used device, not even close with regard to my second most used device(my iPhone). I use it for everything including my work as a teacher. I will upgrade either when there is an iPad with an OLED careen of if my battery dies, whichever comes first.
Yep same here. I'm holding onto iPad for another year before I do a battery change. That'll keep me going till next OLED. Still hasn't slowed down. Check my video where I compare 2018 iPad Pro vs the 2023 Tab S9

Had my 20 18 11 inch iPad Pro six months after release and it’s still an amazing little machine. I treated myself to the M1 12.9 inch and it’s like going from a Volkswagen to a Porsche. Wife now gets the 11 inch.
Love this! Just bought a refurbished 2018 iPad pro for £379 which I think is a pretty good deal, especially as it has 256GB of storage. Also, love the way you borrowed an iPad to test it out rather than spend a fortune on it like every other TH-camr. New sub!

How tf you don’t even have 1k subs. This is top tier production, really amazing stuff!! (Sent from my 2017 iPad Pro 12.9, still rocking solid, just doesn’t support DaVinci Resolve 😞)
Makes sense. I have this iPad. I’m not a creative and the iPad still does what I want with no performance complaints. I bought a Mac Mini for the stuff the iPad can’t do. Paid extra for the M2 Pro to feel the performance difference. But I’m currently replacing the battery on my iPad. No justification to spend £800 on a new one.
Such a good video! When you did the comparison video i knew it was over. Loolol i woulda bought the latest BECAUSE. You put in your time and you already are a success now. Subbed my brotha!!
I have a 2018 laptop, I bought it for like 300 usd with 64gb, its so good especially considering the fact it has a 120hz display its so good and worth it
incredible video! I have a secondhand iPad pro 2018 11 inch and it's a great machine! The only app that let me down was da Vinci resolve, but the minute you open the app it tells you that it was design to work specifically with the M1 chip and above. So even though it broke on me and had bugs, it was no surprise. I'm not yet a professional video editor so I will keep up editing on my Linux notebook. To be true one content creator that I follow recommended that is better using the desktop app to learn after having practiced a lot you use the iPad version. It was great watching you, just subscribed.
As a student I got the m2 iPad Pro last year and have used it everyday since then. I got it coz I needed a good tablet for gaming and one which would last me like 4-6 years . iPad Pro is the best
I still use my 2014 iPad (Air 2) to this day for all my iPad-related tasks. It works great!! Haven't upgraded to iPadOS 15, and can't get 16, but even on 14 it still feels pretty great to use.
I have an Air 2 on iPadOS 14 it works nice for a secondary media device. I take it to the gym if I’m on a treadmill. Listen to music or watch Netflix or TH-cam.
I’ve had the same iPad Pro 13 since day 1 and I feel the exact same way! I’ve been running the 2020 16 inch MacBook Pro at the office but on a daily and in all my daily meetings, I use my iPad pro for convenience! (Side note… I’m a pastor and use this to preach with for sermon notes every Sunday) This video was spot on then I learned more features at the end! Subscribed! Well done, man! Well done!
I just finally replaced my 2018 ipad pro with an M1 ipad air. The change is so little that I'm thinking of just keeping the ipad pro (except the battery is poor now). It's crazy that this product is the longest owned product I have. I bought mine on sale with it heavily discounted lol
Me using my 2017 10.5' ipad pro for everything from documentation (notion), to writing(notes, nebo), art(procreate), all the way up to designing entire scaled building plans uptil 80% (concepts) for my thesis and everything in between.
Thank you for the awesome video! I'm at the time of the year where all my macbook pro and ipad needs an upgrade but it's good to see that it still holds out pretty well!
The brand new ipad pro M2 with 128 gigs only costs 999 usd so about 300 usd more than the ipad so I would still recommend getting that one if you are a new consumer. I still have the 2018 ipad and i use it for note taking and the default notes app crashes on the Ipad quite often. and its a reasonable amount slower and laggier even without the crashes. Unless you need a ton of memory (u can use flash drive) then get the m2 one so it will last a long time
I just got a 2018 iPad Pro 12.9. I allready have a m1 air but I want the 120hz bigger display and just watch TH-cam or whatever on it. Still a good iPad
I actually have a 10.5 iPad Pro which is registered as a 2018 and not a 2017 model, not quite sure why.. I bought it about 2 years ago from Apple Pre Owned store mainly for design and graphics work with a 1gen Apple Pencil because I really wanted the laminated screen and the newer 11” models was just beyond what I could afford as they are quite pricey where I’m from in South Africa. At the time my dream was the large 12” M1 iPad Pro with the LiDAR sensor but it would have taken me another 2 or 3 lifetimes to save up enough money to get that beast, so it was either the 10.5 Pro or the latest normal iPad at the time which was about the same price new as the preowned iPad Pro, so i went with the Pro even though it wasn’t new or the latest model. It didn’t disappoint one bit once I received it specially when considering I was using a ancient ipad 4th gen with a cracked screen up to that point, since then I discovered CODM and so started using the iPad for gaming as well with only good experiences, that was until I saw there was a new COD coming and tried to preorder it only for it to show it wouldn’t be available for my iPad Pro which I found devastating and equally strange considering I never had any games lagging or not working before. Would have thought it wouldn’t have a issue of not getting new apps yet since I had OS 16.5 which I assume is the latest ipad OS and if a normal newer 9th or 10th gen normal ipad could play the new COD, why couldn’t the iPad Pro… I’m now at the point where I’m already considering a normal 10th gen if I sold my pro to a cousin or someone who’d want to buy it, but I love the Pro’s screen and don’t know if I’d be as happy with a normal Ipad after using the pro for the past 2 years. Still can’t afford a better iPad Pro than the one I have as even preowned models from Apple Store cost almost double what mine or even the new 10th gen does.. What would your advice be, try get a 10th gen just because of 1 game or stick with what I got for the time being, what would be the chances of a game becoming available at a later time if this iPad is still capable of running the latest OS? If it wasn’t for the damn new COD I would have happily kept using this device for at least another year or 2 and maybe see preowned M1 iPads drop to more affordable prices in that time, don’t know why they have to be so extremely expensive here by me in South Africa.. Anyway, hope you have time to read my question and have some valued advice for me as it will be greatly appreciated! And thanks for your videos, I love your energy and excitement you have explaining things and subscribed before I could even finish watching the 1st video, hope your channel grows as energetically as you make your content be, your newest favourite subscriber! 🥰🇿🇦
Thanks for subbing and enjoying the content. Instead of 10th gen ipad, I would go for the older iPad Air with new design. Or a used 2018 iPad Pro, since that’s still up to date with the OS if it’s within budget. If a game isn’t available today, it most likely won’t make it to the ipad in the future. Please look into which iPads are compatible first.
I have the 2017 10.5” iPad Pro, but the battery life sucks now and the screen is getting loose, so I bought a refurbished M1 11” iPad Pro. Smaller lighter and smoother. Screen is also so good.
Solid upgrade. My 2018 pro is still holding onto its dear life. Battery is sitting at 85% health. I'm hoping it'll last till next gen iPad so I can pick up the m1 even cheaper.
Same with me Mike, I replaced battery and mine still sucks. Drains rapidly and powers off constantly for no apparent reason. Frustrating !!! Mine is 2016 or 17. I’ll go for a 2020 I think as in 2nd hand refurbished.
You have a new subscriber and I suspect a whole load more coming soon! Really slick video, entertaining, informative. Look forward to seeing more videos! (I also have a 2018 iPad Pro 11" and use it every day, it still holds up! Not worth upgrading until there is a big enough jump in performance and features.... and maybe a landscape camera...
My iPad Pro 2018 is at 86% battery health. So it’s about right, granted I use it to offload videos on to it and use it to edit on the go with LTE. The most useful device I’ve ever use in my life. It’s so beat up now, but still works. I got the folio keyboard instead since when I got it there was no Magic Keyboard and it works great without the trackpad with LumaFusion. Funny how I can edit my videos and output to TH-cam on the same day of an event where my friends was like, is that today’s event? So portable, so useful. Then I retired it for the new M4 and hand the 2018 iPad Pro down to my kids who can use it in college.
REALLLY? So I can video edit on it? Bcs I saw comments saying i cant and i plan on opening my own channel, and so I want a device that can do that as well as my various other tasks.
@@joveriashafiq just like the video, the lag to select the subject was idk about 4 seconds. So it will depend on your usage. If you have 100+ pictures to edit a day, 100 x 4 thats 400 seconds which equals to 6,6 minutes? worst case scenario it's 10 minutes (as long as you don't loose your focus within these seconds). I understand it can be frustrating if you have a lot of videos, but if you don't save your money bro.
Yes, I would get it now. I don't like to wait for future tech tools, get it now, make the most of it. The resale value won't go down much from here. I wouldn't get the M2 iPad Pro now though, since OLED is coming.@@NexorikMason
So i paused the video to say that i'm thoroughly invested in the story being told here, and all i came to watch was a video on a product i already own to see if i want to upgrade it. I'm gonna subscribe to find out if all your videos are this entertaining.
A few weeks back I just bought the new iPad 11 pro 4th generation witch I like , I had a iPad 9th generation so this is a big upgrade to me and if you can afford it get more space I ended up getting the 256gb
I love my 2018 iPad pro 11 inch. I think I got a golden unit because the audio and video quality is just stunning. But I wanted to upgrade the size because I ended up like you using it for bloody everything! So because I don't live near an Apple store I bought a new iPad Air and pro 13-inch. I tested them inside out and upside down and I am shocked to tell you that the iPad pro 11 inch 2018 is almost identical on every benchmark. How is that even possible? Now I have an iPad pro 2018 11 inch and an iPad pro 2024 13 inch. I can't keep them both and I'm completely stuck on which one to go with. I want everything my 2018 does except in the larger size. Tough tough decision! Would love to hear from anyone else that's gone through this? Tested: Battery charge, brightness of the screen, quality of the speakers, using procreate, exporting rendering video, data import export and I ran an external benchmark test. Ever so much slower - and I'm talking half seconds here. Then the 2024 version.
Nice detail explaination video bro, keep up the great work, I still have my 2018 iPad Pro also and still works and gets the job done for TH-cam thumbnails, creating scripts, etc and other things still a solid device but great video God Bless
Brilliant! You are a natural star! I have subscribed having just bought an Amazon renewed 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 with 512GB and cellular for around half the cost of the latest base model iPad Pro (or even 5th gen). Not going to be a Lightroom user so can feel reassured about this video and what you say. Interestingly, it has 696 battery charge cycles with 85% battery health. My iPad Pro 11” also bought from Amazon renewed in 2020 has today half those cycles and 89% battery health.
Thanks man. So the battery health goes down fast initially then really slows down after hitting 10-15% degredation. The only way to speed up degredation is if you keep overheating the batteries (leaving it in the sun, car)
@@dexterseamusgaming3338 it’s OK though to be fair I haven’t been using the new 12.9” a great deal so far. I still tend to use my 11” more and that fairly quickly runs down with frequent use throughout the day. It started at 100% at 9 am today and with only a very little TH-cam watching but quite a bit of reading on it, it is now down to 30% 7 1/2 hours later. The 12.9 “ holds its charge well when switched off and is certainly no worse in my impression than my 11” device.

(Sent from my 2017 iPad Pro 12.9, still rocking solid, just doesn’t support DaVinci Resolve 😞)
Makes sense. I have this iPad. I’m not a creative and the iPad still does what I want with no performance complaints. I bought a Mac Mini for the stuff the iPad can’t do. Paid extra for the M2 Pro to feel the performance difference. But I’m currently replacing the battery on my iPad. No justification to spend £800 on a new one.
My 10.5 iPad Pro still works beautifully. The only thing I miss is the availability of cases but that’s so minimal, so I’ll upgrade when this dies
Such a good video! When you did the comparison video i knew it was over. Loolol i woulda bought the latest BECAUSE. You put in your time and you already are a success now. Subbed my brotha!!
Subscribed. Love to see positive Apple content
Keep up the good work man...great videos
I have a 2018 laptop, I bought it for like 300 usd with 64gb, its so good especially considering the fact it has a 120hz display its so good and worth it
“So that idiots like me…” 😅😅😅😅got me hooked
incredible video! I have a secondhand iPad pro 2018 11 inch and it's a great machine! The only app that let me down was da Vinci resolve, but the minute you open the app it tells you that it was design to work specifically with the M1 chip and above. So even though it broke on me and had bugs, it was no surprise. I'm not yet a professional video editor so I will keep up editing on my Linux notebook. To be true one content creator that I follow recommended that is better using the desktop app to learn after having practiced a lot you use the iPad version. It was great watching you, just subscribed.
3:28 - OMG, what's your camera? :D This image is so crisp and clear, natural. Do you have DSLR or iPhone ??
Sony FX6, OKAY. But I am curious why film cameras have this perfect film look?... How can we get similar image?
Watching on my 2018 12.9. Got it refurbished in 2019 one of the best apple purchases I ever made. Just wish it got external support!
As a student I got the m2 iPad Pro last year and have used it everyday since then. I got it coz I needed a good tablet for gaming and one which would last me like 4-6 years . iPad Pro is the best
I still use my 2014 iPad (Air 2) to this day for all my iPad-related tasks. It works great!! Haven't upgraded to iPadOS 15, and can't get 16, but even on 14 it still feels pretty great to use.
I have an Air 2 on iPadOS 14 it works nice for a secondary media device. I take it to the gym if I’m on a treadmill. Listen to music or watch Netflix or TH-cam.
Very nice video. Surprisingly good. Not talking about the iPad lol. Subscribed
Watching this video on a 2018 iPad Pro 12.9. Still going strong.
I’ve had the same iPad Pro 13 since day 1 and I feel the exact same way! I’ve been running the 2020 16 inch MacBook Pro at the office but on a daily and in all my daily meetings, I use my iPad pro for convenience! (Side note… I’m a pastor and use this to preach with for sermon notes every Sunday) This video was spot on then I learned more features at the end! Subscribed! Well done, man! Well done!
I need to convince my pastor to move onto iPad. He has one but uses paper lol
You're insane man, i subscribed immediately you said "why did i do this test" ? 😂🤣
I’ve never seen Stage Manager shown as being so useful before.
Perfect tool for most every day tasks
7:59 "run my kids" 💀
Best piece of tech for non tech folks
great video! the review was good but also super entertaining! new sub
The production values on this video are insane btw. You can tell what you do for a day job- and how well you do it.
I just finally replaced my 2018 ipad pro with an M1 ipad air. The change is so little that I'm thinking of just keeping the ipad pro (except the battery is poor now). It's crazy that this product is the longest owned product I have. I bought mine on sale with it heavily discounted lol
getting the battery replaced is pretty cheap and will breath new life into the machine
3 minutes and I already subscribe bro
Me using my 2017 10.5' ipad pro for everything from documentation (notion), to writing(notes, nebo), art(procreate), all the way up to designing entire scaled building plans uptil 80% (concepts) for my thesis and everything in between.
Thank you for the awesome video! I'm at the time of the year where all my macbook pro and ipad needs an upgrade but it's good to see that it still holds out pretty well!
Awesome videography mate
The brand new ipad pro M2 with 128 gigs only costs 999 usd so about 300 usd more than the ipad so I would still recommend getting that one if you are a new consumer.
I still have the 2018 ipad and i use it for note taking and the default notes app crashes on the Ipad quite often.
and its a reasonable amount slower and laggier even without the crashes.
Unless you need a ton of memory (u can use flash drive) then get the m2 one so it will last a long time
Give you a like cause the fun you do for your video. And also useful for me. Keep going man
I just got a 2018 iPad Pro 12.9. I allready have a m1 air but I want the 120hz bigger display and just watch TH-cam or whatever on it. Still a good iPad
The best channel.
I actually have a 10.5 iPad Pro which is registered as a 2018 and not a 2017 model, not quite sure why.. I bought it about 2 years ago from Apple Pre Owned store mainly for design and graphics work with a 1gen Apple Pencil because I really wanted the laminated screen and the newer 11” models was just beyond what I could afford as they are quite pricey where I’m from in South Africa. At the time my dream was the large 12” M1 iPad Pro with the LiDAR sensor but it would have taken me another 2 or 3 lifetimes to save up enough money to get that beast, so it was either the 10.5 Pro or the latest normal iPad at the time which was about the same price new as the preowned iPad Pro, so i went with the Pro even though it wasn’t new or the latest model.
It didn’t disappoint one bit once I received it specially when considering I was using a ancient ipad 4th gen with a cracked screen up to that point, since then I discovered CODM and so started using the iPad for gaming as well with only good experiences, that was until I saw there was a new COD coming and tried to preorder it only for it to show it wouldn’t be available for my iPad Pro which I found devastating and equally strange considering I never had any games lagging or not working before. Would have thought it wouldn’t have a issue of not getting new apps yet since I had OS 16.5 which I assume is the latest ipad OS and if a normal newer 9th or 10th gen normal ipad could play the new COD, why couldn’t the iPad Pro…
I’m now at the point where I’m already considering a normal 10th gen if I sold my pro to a cousin or someone who’d want to buy it, but I love the Pro’s screen and don’t know if I’d be as happy with a normal Ipad after using the pro for the past 2 years. Still can’t afford a better iPad Pro than the one I have as even preowned models from Apple Store cost almost double what mine or even the new 10th gen does..
What would your advice be, try get a 10th gen just because of 1 game or stick with what I got for the time being, what would be the chances of a game becoming available at a later time if this iPad is still capable of running the latest OS? If it wasn’t for the damn new COD I would have happily kept using this device for at least another year or 2 and maybe see preowned M1 iPads drop to more affordable prices in that time, don’t know why they have to be so extremely expensive here by me in South Africa..
Anyway, hope you have time to read my question and have some valued advice for me as it will be greatly appreciated! And thanks for your videos, I love your energy and excitement you have explaining things and subscribed before I could even finish watching the 1st video, hope your channel grows as energetically as you make your content be, your newest favourite subscriber! 🥰🇿🇦
Thanks for subbing and enjoying the content.
Instead of 10th gen ipad, I would go for the older iPad Air with new design. Or a used 2018 iPad Pro, since that’s still up to date with the OS if it’s within budget.
If a game isn’t available today, it most likely won’t make it to the ipad in the future. Please look into which iPads are compatible first.
Great review and great comedy, all wrapped into one! Thank you!
I have the 2017 10.5” iPad Pro, but the battery life sucks now and the screen is getting loose, so I bought a refurbished M1 11” iPad Pro. Smaller lighter and smoother. Screen is also so good.
Solid upgrade. My 2018 pro is still holding onto its dear life. Battery is sitting at 85% health. I'm hoping it'll last till next gen iPad so I can pick up the m1 even cheaper.
Same with me Mike, I replaced battery and mine still sucks. Drains rapidly and powers off constantly for no apparent reason. Frustrating !!!
Mine is 2016 or 17. I’ll go for a 2020 I think as in 2nd hand refurbished.
@@johnmartin7158 If you can find a good 2021, it is so nice and smooth! Good luck my good man!
Amazing Video, I search for Ipad have 2 weeks to choose one to buy.
Thanks Samuel for the content, a Hug from BRAZIL
"No... No... Noooooooooo.... That's not right!" 🤣♥
As a uni student I have skipped out on the laptop and instead have an ipad pro and a desktop windows PC
bro you’re gonna make me splurge 😂😂😂
You have a new subscriber and I suspect a whole load more coming soon! Really slick video, entertaining, informative. Look forward to seeing more videos! (I also have a 2018 iPad Pro 11" and use it every day, it still holds up! Not worth upgrading until there is a big enough jump in performance and features.... and maybe a landscape camera...
Best tech reviewer ❤
My iPad Pro 2018 is at 86% battery health. So it’s about right, granted I use it to offload videos on to it and use it to edit on the go with LTE. The most useful device I’ve ever use in my life. It’s so beat up now, but still works. I got the folio keyboard instead since when I got it there was no Magic Keyboard and it works great without the trackpad with LumaFusion. Funny how I can edit my videos and output to TH-cam on the same day of an event where my friends was like, is that today’s event? So portable, so useful. Then I retired it for the new M4 and hand the 2018 iPad Pro down to my kids who can use it in college.
Can’t wait till my kids need iPad full time. They’re too young to own anything.
@@thesamuelnam actually my kids don’t need an iPad. I just don’t know who to hand it down to. The wife refused, so… haha
This was a great video explaining the iPad! Thanks!
If you use iPad Pro 2018 for basic use, it still works like beast…
For video editing, it only lag a few seconds…
REALLLY? So I can video edit on it? Bcs I saw comments saying i cant and i plan on opening my own channel, and so I want a device that can do that as well as my various other tasks.
@@joveriashafiq just like the video, the lag to select the subject was idk about 4 seconds. So it will depend on your usage. If you have 100+ pictures to edit a day, 100 x 4 thats 400 seconds which equals to 6,6 minutes? worst case scenario it's 10 minutes (as long as you don't loose your focus within these seconds). I understand it can be frustrating if you have a lot of videos, but if you don't save your money bro.
Great video mate! Just subscribed
You got me at 3:00 😂❤
Lmao. I can’t do those vlog shots without taking the piss out of it. 😂
When do you think the iPad Pro 2018 will lose support?
I think it’ll lose support in 2026, based on how long the 2017 iPad Pro got supported for (2017 pro still supports latest iPad os)
@@thesamuelnam FINALLY SOMEONE WHO SEES MY POINT!
Fricking love you oml
@@thesamuelnam would you consider me going out and buying it?
Yes, I would get it now. I don't like to wait for future tech tools, get it now, make the most of it. The resale value won't go down much from here. I wouldn't get the M2 iPad Pro now though, since OLED is coming.@@NexorikMason
@@thesamuelnam Oh? Oled iPad Pro
I have the same one. Can't bring myself to upgrade because it still works perfect and isn't slow.
So i paused the video to say that i'm thoroughly invested in the story being told here, and all i came to watch was a video on a product i already own to see if i want to upgrade it. I'm gonna subscribe to find out if all your videos are this entertaining.
A few weeks back I just bought the new iPad 11 pro 4th generation witch I like , I had a iPad 9th generation so this is a big upgrade to me and if you can afford it get more space I ended up getting the 256gb
I love my 2018 iPad pro 11 inch. I think I got a golden unit because the audio and video quality is just stunning. But I wanted to upgrade the size because I ended up like you using it for bloody everything! So because I don't live near an Apple store I bought a new iPad Air and pro 13-inch. I tested them inside out and upside down and I am shocked to tell you that the iPad pro 11 inch 2018 is almost identical on every benchmark. How is that even possible? Now I have an iPad pro 2018 11 inch and an iPad pro 2024 13 inch. I can't keep them both and I'm completely stuck on which one to go with. I want everything my 2018 does except in the larger size. Tough tough decision!
Would love to hear from anyone else that's gone through this?
Tested:
Battery charge, brightness of the screen, quality of the speakers, using procreate, exporting rendering video, data import export and I ran an external benchmark test.
Ever so much slower - and I'm talking half seconds here. Then the 2024 version.
In the market for a machine for work
Very helpful video
Love your humour 😂 running back for the camera after pulling away genius 😂😂
You really nailed this one. Hands up to you.
Wow! Amazing video! I'm a fan!
As a business owner, I agree with you on the latest and greatest.
Keep it up and take care.
Now I'm wondering if it will work well with KineMaster 🤔
Nice detail explaination video bro, keep up the great work, I still have my 2018 iPad Pro also and still works and gets the job done for TH-cam thumbnails, creating scripts, etc and other things still a solid device but great video God Bless
man forgot the camera 😂 😂
Hey Samuel, just wanted to say that the vide was really informative and direct to the point. Great content man keep it up
Believe me this man gonna fly in few given times....keep it up bro its awesome
Brilliant! You are a natural star! I have subscribed having just bought an Amazon renewed 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 with 512GB and cellular for around half the cost of the latest base model iPad Pro (or even 5th gen). Not going to be a Lightroom user so can feel reassured about this video and what you say. Interestingly, it has 696 battery charge cycles with 85% battery health. My iPad Pro 11” also bought from Amazon renewed in 2020 has today half those cycles and 89% battery health.
Thanks man. So the battery health goes down fast initially then really slows down after hitting 10-15% degredation. The only way to speed up degredation is if you keep overheating the batteries (leaving it in the sun, car)
Hows the battery life with 85% battery health? Pls answer
@@dexterseamusgaming3338 it’s OK though to be fair I haven’t been using the new 12.9” a great deal so far. I still tend to use my 11” more and that fairly quickly runs down with frequent use throughout the day. It started at 100% at 9 am today and with only a very little TH-cam watching but quite a bit of reading on it, it is now down to 30% 7 1/2 hours later. The 12.9 “ holds its charge well when switched off and is certainly no worse in my impression than my 11” device.
