  • The biggest issue with the 2018 iPad pro is that it has aged too well! I have been using mine for many years and absolutely love it still and have no intention of upgrading. Is it worth you buying one? Yes, yes it is. This is a wicked device in 2024, and still holds up great.

    I have the 2018 iPad Pro and no reason to upgrade. It's super fast, scrolling is smooth as butter... I am not bothered about an OLED display or better cameras.

    I'm fine with my IPad pro 2018. I think that this will work for other 4 or 5 years more. I hope that by then apple deliver something that worth the upgrade.

    i’m a slut for display technology, so OLED is huge motivator. Also, my M1 iPad Pro ran those PS4/console games pretty well, so I’m kind of excited to see how the M4 will run those.
    also, I can’t tell you how many times my thumb was covering Face ID because I predominately use my iPad in the landscape orientation. also i will switch to my iphone or mac for facetime even if i’m using my ipad because i hate the off center camera. so as dumb as it sounds, I’m pretty excited for Face ID and the front cam to be moving to the landscape orientation.
    ever since the M1 and A17 Pro, Apple Silicon has had a lot of potential for gaming. I hope with every generation that more AAA developers choose to release on Apple Silicon, the M4 really increases that incentive.
    the addition of a full function row and escape key really lends to the idea that iPadOS 18 is gonna lean more into macOS capabilities

      I hate how all reviews point to people using it like a laptop. I ordered the M4 13 inch. But I don’t currently own an iPad since I’ve been waiting for OLED. I too am a sucker for good displays.

      As am i, but let me ask you one question. Can you change the contrast? Because that is the thing that completely through me with the M4 versus my 2018 m2. Never mind that they benchmarked almost identically! But the M4 does not give me any detail in the shadows. So good luck catching anything if you're watching something like game of thrones - you can't see it. Do you have velvety block? Absolutely - but you have no way to change it

    I too have my iPad 2018 and am very happy. Need to see what the M4 and the new Apple AI is all about

    I agree my 2018 iPad Pro is great. I’ve used it as a computer for 3 years and after that, it’s been my go to for note-taking and media consumption. Over the years the battery has degraded but the iPadOS 17.4.1 update has nerfed the battery. It dies randomly regardless of the battery percentage and according to forums it’s not only me. I don’t want to get a new battery and the same thing happens because of the software update. That’s why I am considering upgrading

      That’s unfortunate you have issues with iPadOS, I’m on the latest version and haven’t encountered that at all.
      Hopefully it’s resolved soon!

    Agreed my air 3 can do almost everything the latest version can at a decent speed. 😂 they finally added a function key to the Magic Keyboard meanwhile ive been using the Logitech keyboard with my air 3 since release

    I highly recommend 2021 M1 iPad Pro in comparison to 2018. The M1 is pure overkill for 99^ of scenarios. M4 - is 3 versions over kill

  • @iamrishio

    The problem is that all the arguments you are making apply to an M1 Macbook as well. Why upgrade if you are doing basic things. I have a 2020 iPad Pro 11” and one major issue is it’s not powerful enough to run Final Cut Pro so I’m stuck on Luma Fusiion.

    I am upgrading from this state. I need more RAM basically. And it will be nice to have an external monitor for multitasking. Other than that I would never upgrade.

      You’re right, 4GB of ram can be limiting. Thanks for watching

    Unless Apple ups it’s game regarding iPadOS there’s still no decisive motive to invest in such a expensive device plus accessories. If you can find a decently priced M1 or M2 iPad Pro, then go with that.

    “Tweaked” the display. 😂 Even 12.9 XDR Pro Display will pale in comparison to the new OLED displays.

      Haha that was a slip of the tongue, the new oled displays will be wicked. But I stand by the 2018 iPad Pro Display being very good
