Apple's latest iPad Pro is the first device to receive the powerful Apple M4 silicon - and it packs a truly revolutionary OLED display. But to what extent is it actually useful for anything other than light tasks - and to what extent can it handle the triple-A games that prove so troublesome in our iPhone 15 Pro reviews? Oliver Mackenzie has all of the answers.

    Oliver using DF's credit card to upgrade all his apple products 😅. So far he got a Mac Studio, iPhone 15 Pro and now an iPad Pro.

    I think one of the reasons Apple made the iPad Pro even thinner is to reduce the overall thickness when using it with their Magic Keyboard. If you fold that thing up it's pretty massive.

    Whatever your opinion of these devices are, the speed at which we have achieved this level of complex gaming on these systems is phenomenal.

    Nice review but I feel that you spend too much time talking about the iphone instead of the new ipad in the gaming section of the video. Even the footage is mostly the iphone version. More videos showing the new iPad gaming performance would be nice.

    Thanks for featuring my channel, love ya work! 😊

    Recently picked up an M4 iPad myself and I definitely agree with a lot of what you had to say here. The hardware is so good you want to use it all the time, but then software headaches rear their head and leave you frustrated. It’s an amazing premium tablet and nothing more. It will not replace your laptop. It is a luxury computing device for most people.
  • DF can we get some videos on the Android emulation scene? There is so much progress being made! Wine/Box64 is wild!
  • @Vojoor
    I didn’t know I needed a DF iPad review but that was good, I like the DF perspective on other things than usually!
  • @LBPreviews
    I appreciate the actual footage of Oliver talking. I think this might be a first for a non group DF video?
  • I bought my iPhone 15 Pro because I wanted to be able to play AC Mirage on the go. And then I bought the iPad M4 just because the amazing OLED panel it has. And then I ended up sticking with my iPad for gaming, and my iPhone for what’s meant to be, a phone. 😅

    I don't think it was mentioned in the video, but if you want to be blown away by the iPad Pro M4 try Warzone Mobile. Playing the Team Death Match Maps it's crazy how comparable it gets to looking like Modern Warfare 3 even at high frame rates
  • @MrSamPhoenix
    Stick a fan in there and see that M4 really fly.
  • @GreyGoshawk
    Most of the gaming review section is about the iPhone, and that it was locked 30fps on the iPad. There's instructions online for unlocking the framerate (and changing other settings) for resident evil. Exploring that to see how the iPad compares unlocked would have been more informative. Looking on youtube, the first result when seaching for 60fps m4 ipad resident evil, shows it running about 60fps. It would be good to get that confirmed by digital foundry.

    The format of this video feels like it came from the early days of DF.
  • I was hoping for Oliver to get a 16GB RAM iPad so we could get more Apple Reviews! Happy it happened and also a request, Oliver try changing the config files for RE4, Death Stranding and RE7 so we can see what is the limit of the iPad.
  • @numberz010
    Glad to see you review this, I'm in love with the performance of the M4 Pros display
  • @tranquility6789
    iPads with such powerful chips should not be limited to such a limited operating system
  • @Nick_Lavigne
    Use davinci resolve for a comparison, see if its the pad or the software.
  • @Kiyuja
    makes you wonder what cool ARM stuff we could get on a mobile SOC if Windows for ARM wouldnt suck....
