What's New with the M4 iPad Pro?

but first wait I have the iPad here it was iPad week last week oh right uh I was away so I didn't get to fully uh do my review yet but I have been using it and well this is the 13 I just hit the mic really hard this is the 13 it would have been harder with the old heavy one though true yeah this is thinner and lighter than ever it is uh you this is the first time you guys are like seeing it in person cuz you like left immediately after it came in basically yeah I like took it out of the box and then like packed up and flew to Columbia so like you guys didn't get to see it look at this cool iPad I have okay bye see you later but um you know getting it back I have been I'm one of those people who has been using an M1 iPad Pro for how how years however long it's been since it came out and set this one up mirrored it to the old one so it literally has that old wallpaper I don't know if you guys remember this wallpaper from M1 it's like years old and I've been using it the exact same way and doing all the exact same things which is which is emails browsing YouTube uh some Netflix offline Netflix on the plane oh wait what were you watching um drive to survive I'm very behind don't judge me uh and yeah Twitter buying things on Amazon like I got some widgets going it's just the same thing as before powerful and it's just thinner and that's that's mainly are you crushing a bunch of artistic tools with it oh of course yeah everything just shoved into this iPad no that's here I'll let you guys hold it if you guys don't want to actually experience David wanted to see it I still have a huge issue this is the most oh you weren't here last week when we talked about it right it is the most like non-uniform camera bump I feel like I've ever seen out of apple and it feels so onapple like not a single circle on there is the same diameter as a different one yeah I never thought I didn't think about it that much so they got rid of the ultrawide camera didn't really talk about it they didn't even mention that at all whenever they get rid of something though they they never want want to say it out loud and then so we just have the regular the lar and the The Flash and then whatever that tiny cutout is maybe that's a there is a microphone mic the other one this is lar I think yeah big one is lar is this big Flash and then I don't even know what that is yeah none of them are the same size though correct it feels like the models that we get yeah there's usually at least one that's the same size gone with the LG velvet thing and made it like big medium small you that but instead it's like medium large small it's damn it just doesn't feel like an apple camera bump yeah it's unesthetic the screen does look dope though yeah okay so the actual biggest differences so if you've seen The Impressions video already you know the new differences but there are some interesting yeah there's some interesting choices with this iPad one of them being that it is substantially thinner and it's the thinnest Apple device ever made with a screen that's my oh yeah cuz no the Apple card or yeah they've made thinner objects before yeah but this is the thinnest device yeah the thinnest device they've ever made D and it is 5.1 mm thin do you know how much thinner it is than the last one probably about 2 millim thinner 2 millim I don't know what I'm I'm American so that means nothing it's not a lot but it is it is visually noticeable what is that in Subway sandwiches I I'm American so I I can't do it's one piece of lettuce one piece of lettuce I have the actual answer it's hilarious it's a 20th of an inch thinner a a 20th of an inch I have a do you know they keep comparing it to the iPad Nano clip I think it was and they're saying it is thinner it's not the clip one they're comparing it to the long one the long Nano the long Nano they I thought I saw a different one where they were comparing it to the clips both they're comparing it to the seventh gen the clip I believe was the Sixth Gen yeah the seventh gen I saw something the other day but are they including camera bump in the uh on the iPad or are they only counting the sides I don't think they're incling the camera bump yeah wait here iPod Shuffle third gen oh it does have a clip this has a clip but are they counting the clip no I think well there's no screen on it but that's not what they said I don't think they counted the clip in all the videos it's just the aluminum housing right up against it that's the body of it mhm I just think it's an interesting choice because they decided to actually make it thinner again like we got years and years of iPads that were totally thin enough right and then this year coming out and making a big deal about it being thinner was really fascinating to me cuz I thought we were done with that yeah Johnny IV's gone Johnny IV's gone but here we are yeah and to me there's a lot of choices about that this iPad that feel Tim Cook and I'm going to try to explain this in the review but here's maybe the most Tim Cook choice of them all there's a new Apple pencil Pro right mhm the new Apple pencil Pro is only compatible with the newest iPad Pro that you're holding or iPad Air yeah now why is that why is that true because they moved the webcam the front-facing webcam from the narrow side to the long side which is where it belongs but now that's right exactly where that pencil is supposed to charge so now there's both the webcam and the apple pencil what are you trying to do intuitive the brightness oh it's on the right you have to pull from the from the right pull pull from the battery oh yeah okay so so okay so the apple pencil now charges in the same exact spot but there's also now webcam there so they had to arrange the magnets and the way it charges those components differently on that side right so it doesn't work the same way as the old ones why didn't they just move the apple pencil to charge on the other side of the iPad like the bottom yeah because of the the folio the Poco pins for the why why just move it why might put like one to the left and one to the right on the top magnets actually it' be pretty yeah that's a good idea I think it's a sneaky great smart way of make making sure if you want to use any features of this new apple pencil you need to buy the newest iPad I think that's true so yeah that happened it's like one step more than at least the like new pixel coming out and being like only available on Pixel and then 6 months later being like okay it's actually available at least this has somewhat of a hardware difference which is why it strikes me as very Tim Cook cuz supply chain guy would find a way to make sure nothing changes in the other ones and now it just works with the new ones it's sort of like uh how the M2 MacBook proos sold really really badly because the M1 was so good it's similar in that the iPad is so iPad and what more iPad could you add to the iPad that they have to like have a better accessory that you have to have the new iPad to be able to use yeah cuz you know it's thinner cool but no one's going to buy it cuz it's thinner exactly and the good display on the last generation was almost as good as this display yeah so I can talk about the display in a second the other Tim Cook thing is the new iPad Air uh is just a bunch of newer parts that used to be an iPad Pros it's like it has the M2 now it has like the webcam on the side again and all these things that are like oh we we we now have a better iPad Air full of things that we already already saw in iPad that's very efficient very efficient but yeah the new display it's just brighter that's the main thing you'll notice it is obviously a really interesting Tech to make it happen it's this this tandem Ola display which is not something I've ever seen in a a shipping Gadget before which is cool it's in cars I in cars yeah it's in car displays yeah we we went down this Rabbit Hole a little bit ago because Apple really wanted everyone to believe like this is we we just invented the tandem OLED display but if you go on like display makers websites and display industry journals like the first concept displays by LG were coming out in like 2017 2018 they entered mass production in with LG in 2019 of a specific of a specific stacked OLED yeah referred to in as tandem OLED and it's the same and then Samsung just began as far as I could tell Samsung just began their mass production or iPad this year um and I couldn't find any like leaks or like confirmation like this product uses an LG tandem OLED display but in LG's marketing materials on the industrial side of things they're very clear like we are shipping these things like hot cakes in our Automotive departments we also had a viewer sorry Zach reach out and say that honor has a product from a few months ago with a durable double layer oleds screen yeah it's it's so in the industry that LG actually makes a 17in tandem OLED folding touchcreen that I wouldn't be surprised if is in products like the the okay I could not find any sources for this but there's only one thing out there with a 17-inch folding touch OLED screen yeah the Asus Zenbook fold whatever and I'm like is that is that a tandem OLED is was a that interesting anyway this is all like Ellis's tinfoil hat conspiracy display industry nonsense so take it all the great can that be a new segment of the podcast yeah tinfoil hat segment I will say the purpose of the tandem OLED display is to give you both the benefits of OLED and super high brightness so in tablets we straight up have not had this combination of brightness and contrast ratios yet so I'll give them credit for that like the we've had oleds in that huge also super thin what is it called Galaxy Tab Pro or whatever gigantic tablet we reviewed and it's awesome inside it's this super huge bright OLED and it feels like you're holding this magical piece of glass but it has like 500 600 in its Max brightness cuz it's not as bright cuz don't get as bright so here we are we have this new awesome thing that is better at Max brightness better Outdoors better on a plane with the window open right that type of thing great yeah it's the exact same brightness as the mini LED display on the last iPad Pro 12.9 in model and now deeper blacks yes deeper bigger because they're off love that because they're pixels that are off so yeah infinite contrast ratio yeah so I've been using it I don't know I'm going to put my review together I don't think it's going to be a standard review I think it's more just me diving into my maybe tinf foil hat theories about some of the weird choices why is it thinner this year why is the apple pencil only compatible with this one this year why do they all these things why did they get rid of the ultra wide camera there's a bunch of interesting choices that they made with I think that is a better angle to go with for the review because what else are you going to say exactly yeah it's the same like I saw someone did a review that wasn't at all about the device really it was like what is iPad OS need for me to actually want to buy the M4 iPad Pro I would also be into that which is a better video Yeah in like and it's also such an evergreen that's been like the question on our minds for like four years now it's like this is a really powerful thing that's still an iPad so what do we wanted to do mhm okay sick that's the iPad IIs wanted to throw one more thing in from last week I did because last week I very dismissively was like stem splitter is boring and I uh sick got drinks with a friend of mine who is you know working in the upper echelons of the music industry which I am not um and he graciously informed me that I was uh pretty wrong and that stem s splitter uh works way better than previous attempts and it's integrated really well into logic and as like a utility um it's actually like a really cool thing to have built into logic maybe not as a creative tool for making things necessarily but if you're a professional he was like this is very very cool so thank you unnamed friend yeah but yeah so sorry I wrote if you're working in music maybe you should check this out and not listen to me yeah also for those that maybe didn't watch the podcast last week or or forgot about it it's basically that during the iPad event they announced logic pro two for iPad yeah and also an update to logic I think it's called logic 11 now something like that but they're uh they're introducing a stem splitter feature where you can add any music file and it will separate the tracks I got a live demo of it and this is one of those things where the demo was so good that I was like this is definitely tailored exactly for this feature and I don't know how well it will work but in that demo it blew my mind at how well it worked and it was like here we gave it this song and we added we did the stem splitter thing and it separated it out and here's the drums and here's the vocals and here's the bass and here's the different instruments all split out through the power of AI and apple silicon and you play back just the vocals and it's like it sounds like I'm just listening to a recording of just the Vo locals and super cool tool to use and to me it always struck me like I don't use logic but it struck me as just like getting rid of some plugins that we're doing that in the past it's just like yeah we just built it in now it's like when Final Cut does a better tracking tool you're like oh well that's better than the plugin I was using so great so I just I I would love to see it on other tracks also a question could you just remove one of the stems and then Content ID wouldn't like go off I think well Content ID is kind of like sophisticatedly Trend uh trained on more than just like the exact set of sounds I think it would still go off I think it would just because of some of the examples I've seen in the past of like a car driving by and like the radio is playing and they've gotten hit with stuff like that I've heard people have hummed songs and it gotten copyright really yeah that's I think it's a great question but I have a feeling it goes on the it's a little more cautious when it comes to it and would probably still hit it okay that could be a short how many parts of a song can we delete before we get maybe we don't want to like destroy the channel testing make new channel to test that yeah cool that sounds like a great idea Ellis why don't you look into doing some more you're telling me that this is a great idea I'm going to look into that math for you but you were positive enough be more positive huh you want me to be positive I will be positive in my future response I am trying to talk faster SL down a little so you want to hear about the Empire State Building wow I love top buildings but I found this on the web how do I like in what's the generative I'm just generating your page I'm I I can't help with that sorry like And subscribe [Music]
