I'm extremely happy with my M1 iPad.
The only real issue is aside from the screen eventually wearing out ( it already has a bit of flex), I can't imagine a reason to upgrade. It's powerful enough to do anything you'd use an iPad for. I primarily make music on mine, I've made full songs with vocals and everything ( although without any mastering - I think this is possible in Logic on iPad).
It's really fun for quick jam sessions, but I can't imagine what else I'd do with it. IO is really bad for media creation, you have a single USB C port( this bothers me the most, the moment that port dies it becomes E Waste), no headphone jack...
- MuffinFlavored 3y agoAny apps that work with MIDI controller on iPad? Also, can't you just use a USB-C hub for like $10 from Amazon?
- 999900000999 3y agoI have more USB hubs than I can count. You still only have one point of failure for the entire device that can't be easily fixed. And most midi controllers work fine via USB or Bluetooth
- bombcar 2y agoI wish it had two USB C ports, one on the bottom and one on the side. Even if they only really were one internally at least you’d have more mounting options.
- tootie 3y agoI have an iPad that predates M1 and it's also fine. It's a media consumption device and that's about it.
- kalleboo 2y agoThe USB-C port is on it's own separate board, so it's repairable with minimal waste https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPad+Pro+12.9-Inch+5th+Gen+USB-C+Charging+Port+Replacement/156329#s327204 https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPad+Pro+12.9-Inch+5th+Gen+USB-...
- 999900000999 2y agoIt's only 100$ or so to repair which isn't as bad as I thought. https://simplyfixable.com/blog-detail/ipad-charging-port-repair-cost-in-us https://simplyfixable.com/blog-detail/ipad-charging-port-rep... But it's still not something I'd do on my own.
