I hear what he’s saying but if I may chip in here, that’s not Apple’s intent. In the case of this 12.9-inch model that means over 10,000 LEDs are positioned behind the screen to create, at times, a much brighter display that is also more nuanced to what is happening on the screen.”īut while he admired the performance, he felt that iPadOS was holding the tablet back from being a laptop replacement. It's a relatively new panel technology that's only just making its way into the latest TVs. “The 2021 iPad Pro gets an updated display technology - called Mini LED - which makes it considerably brighter than older models. Stuart Miles has been reviewing the iPad since day one, year one, so he knows his stuff. He also finds the iPadOS software can limit what you do and, while saying it’s “quite a device,” he concludes: “Without a doubt the iPad Pro is the best tablet you can buy, but a super-expensive one that will be total overkill for most.” Outside of HDR video the screen is restricted to the same 600nits brightness as previous iPad Pros, which is still far brighter than most tablets, laptops and monitors, but helps keep the solid 10 hours of battery life.” “With very few rivals reaching a brightness of more than 500nits (a standard measure of screen brightness), only the very best smartphone screens such as that on the Galaxy S21 Ultra come anywhere near close to the iPad Pro’s peak HDR brightness of 1,600nits. Night scenes are a particular treat with lights shining out from the pitch-black darkness, while sunrises burst with colour and vibrancy. He rates the new display on the 12.9in model: “Feed the iPad Pro an HDR movie and you’re treated to arguably the best picture this side of a £1,500 television. So the five stars he gives the tablet is pretty impressive.

If you don’t know Sam’s work, let’s just say he can be a fierce, but fair, critic.

Then there’s Samuel Gibbs at the Guardian. but iPadOS doesn't let you do that, for example.”

Running more than two apps side-by-side would be a cinch for the powerful M1. Apple is pretty clear this new iPad Pro 12.9-inch isn’t designed to replace a laptop and we'd agree with that, even with the M1 inside, there's still plenty this tablet cannot do that a MacBook Air lets you do. “Our main problem is that, while it's an incredible feat that Apple is using the same powerful chip in the iPad as it uses to fuel the MacBook Pro and iMac, some may find there's little point to all that power in a tablet. However, like others, he feels iPadOS doesn’t do the tablet justice.
