The M4 iPad Pro was released in May. With many expectations for iPadOS 18, we quickly discovered that this upcoming software update isn't changing the foundation of iPadOS. Still, as I lacked a newer iPad, I was convinced I should finally upgrade my 2nd-gen iPad Pro to the new 13-inch M4 iPad Pro. Combined with the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro, I needed a little push to leave my Mac setup to see if I could get my job done with Apple's most expensive tablet.
The bottom line is that the iPad has poor RAM management, and some apps like Final Cut Pro are dumped out of RAM as soon as I minimized them. Crazy. The other issue was with the language barrier. As a non-native English speaker, I often need to double-check my spelling with Grammarly.
