The grain is very worrying for someone who does photo editing for example. It makes it look photo has grain even though it has not. Miniled ipads don't have anything like this.
Got a tip for us?

You can see the grainy screen here as well.
I checked, and the rainbow default background image itself has grain if you zoom in. At least for that part, it may be the picture itself. (Not denying screen the grain exists, I see it myself on dark mode menus)
Wait, is this really a thing? Why? I am planning to switch from 12.9 miniLED to 11 OLED, how would it exactly affect it in a negative way?
For those new iPad Pro users - given the 20-25% bump in GB Single Core - does the M4 iPad feel 20-25% snappier?
What? The OLEDs have better contrast and no blooming
But if colors are horribly grainy with oled, it ruins everything. Miniled has very good contrast as well and I haven't been bothered by the blooming. There is zero grain with miniled which is very good.
Is the screen grainy on
Mine comes today. If there are differences that make it worse than my M2, it will be going back in the box and I'll wait until the M5 or whatever's next. These things are way too expensive for that level of imperfection.
Is the screen grainy on everything or just on certain images? Like if you go to view a dark image in the browser, can you see it there, or just on some images on the iPad? If that makes any sense. Do you have a different iPad on which to compare the same images?

Does anyone have any pictures of a silver pro with the black keyboard? Don’t really want a white cover due to dirt and stains.
I'm thrilled to bits with my new 13 inch iPad. Zero issues, the screen's top notch, the keyboard and trackpad are nice n svelte, the portability's great. Cellular's a bit pricey but ultra handy. Only went for the 256gb model but...
This skinny beast is snappier than a bloomin' crocodile sandwich 🐊

Just got my new iPad Pro 13 set up. It’s amazing. The screen is a lot better than my previous iPad (4th gen).
Where’s my dang Apple sticker!?

None. I never had a screen protector on an iPad and never had a scratch. It's always protected by the Magic Keyboard. And well, if it falls to the floor by mistake, I'm out of luck 😂 (no, not true, I have insurance).
It should work fine, I just tried plugging in my 13" M4 iPad Pro into an OWC Thunderbolt 4 Hub which has an LG 5K monitor plugged into it, along with various usb accessories (mouse, keyboard, sound interface) and everything worked as expected, just as it does when I plug a Macbook into it.
Stop…the new OLED display destroys the LCD/miniLED displays.
Some real nonsense being spouted here which I will correct.
I am an actual 13 2024 iPP owner.

- There is a 8% different in speed between the two 13 models, nothing you as a user can notice.
- Tandem OLED is miles ahead of MicroLED etc.
- Even with heavy workloads can see no different in performance. Either machine are powerhouses.
- I have not seen in the store, or mine or others any grainyness.

Agree except on point 3, safari on my M4 11' 512 is definitely snappier.
Hogwash: if you put on a matte plastic screen protector, sure you will lose some crispness but if you use a nice tempered glass one, you won’t notice a thing.
Asking reviewers to do more than "humanize an Apple PR checklist" is asking way too much from reviewers. Gotta come to MacRumors and Reddit for an actual real-world review.
I agree with that. With the previous keyboard I used to take it out of the bag, and rest it with the hinge on the desk to open it up. With this one I can't do that, as it's way more slippery and I can't make use of the "gripping" effect the silicon had on the desk.
I put an ESR glass screen protector on my M2 and the only thing that I noticed is that it made it more reflective. Unless the screen protector is garbage or matte, there is going to be no objective difference between before and after, except maybe reflection.
