Ready, set, 150,000, 200,000, 300,000, 300,000 again. Apple's prices are too high, right? Yes, that's it. Hello, everyone, it's Kachannel. Well, the prices of devices are getting higher every year. First of all, the second or maybe the first generation iPad Pro, I think it could be obtained for around 100,000 yen. And here, we have the 13-inch iPad Pro with the M1 chip, this one was around 200,000 yen, I believe. And here, this is the previous generation 11-inch iPad Pro, this one was around 200,000 yen, I think. And here we have the latest one with the M3 chip, the MacBook Air, this one is around 300,000 yen. And this time, ta-da, the 11-inch 1TB model was about 300,000 yen. It's incredibly expensive, but I think everyone buys it for the romance or for work purposes. What I purchased this time was the iPad Pro 11-inch and the new Apple Pencil Pro. So, let's see how it feels to hold them. Well, it certainly feels a bit lighter. As for the personal number one point for this time, it's getting thinner and lighter. After all, isn't the essence of the iPad to be light, making you want to carry it around?

I personally think so, and that's why I'm here. So, this time, it's the 1TB cellular model. The reason is that currently, I have a Popo 2.0 SIM card inserted here. Sometimes when I'm on a business trip, I use the unlimited 24-hour plan for 330 yen. So, when I'm on a business trip, I use my iPad to watch Netflix, YouTube, and various other things unlimitedly. Also, I use this as a Wi-Fi router replacement and share the connection with other devices. Moreover, the battery life is good. That's why I think the cellular model is quite good personally. And that's why I'm here today. Actually, I canceled it once before. Yes, I ordered the 512GB one, but I canceled it. The reason is that the 1TB one has slightly better specs. I guess it's like, I want something better. That's right, there's that kind of thing. That's why I upgraded to 1TB before, and currently, I'm only using around 1230GB, so I don't need 1TB, but still, I want to use a bit more.

I want to use this now, this time for sure, I definitely want to use at least 500g. Let's open it right away. Alright, I want to welcome it with all my heart. By the way, I always do this at the office. As soon as I go to the office, Apple appears. They remember my face, it's really helpful. Oh, here it is. Oh, but seriously, just by holding it, you can tell. It's really thin and light. It seems like this is thin. No, it's a bit impressive. Oh, here it is. And as for the accessories, let's see. Oh, here's the cable. It's good. It's included. I have a tendency to waste things, so I probably won't end up using it. Alright, here comes the charging part. Thank you. Alright, here we go. Oh, this is nice. Oh, this is good. Let me take out the 11-inch one right away. Here we go. Ta-da! It's really smudged. It will be the same as this one, but when you stack them horizontally, you can see the difference. Let me try stacking them a bit. Wow.

I wonder if you can feel the difference between 12.9 inches and 11 inches in terms of thickness. Even with 11 inches, you can still feel it properly, right? I think. Let's see about the weight now. This is the older model, so let's measure it. Yes, so it weighs 468 grams. Oh, sorry, it's 409 grams. So, it's only about a 20-gram difference. Yeah, it's just slightly lighter by 20 grams. Is it worth spending 300,000 yen just for a 20-gram difference? Some might think it's strange. But this thinness feels good. And the one I bought this time is here. Ta-da! Yes, this is the Pro model. Here, there's a certain function available. I want to start it up quickly and take a look around. When we look at it now, you can see that one camera is missing. That's right. Also, the flash part seems a bit larger.

There seems to have been some slight changes in usage, and design-wise, the older model somehow looks a bit cooler. It's a bit too similar in color, feeling a bit off. Personally, I feel like it's a bit of a disappointing update. So, here is the older model. Here we have the slot for the SIM card. Inside here, I have inserted the SIM card. This time, as you can see here, yes, there is an eSIM slot. I thought there was a hole here for that, but it seems to be just for the eSIM. Oh, here it is. Let's start it up right away. Yes, I'm currently doing some settings, but with this eSIM, there's a SIM card inserted here. It's asking if I should switch to eSIM. Once I switch, I won't be able to use the one inserted here anymore. Oh, seriously, this is disappointing. I'll skip the setup for now. Alright, we have successfully started up. Now, looking at the specs a bit, this time, it's a bit frustrating as well.

But, it's the M4, and unexpectedly, the final M4 has been installed on the iPad. Currently, I'm holding an M3 MacBook Air here. There are also M2 and M1. They have been introduced in Geekbench. When we line up the specs, it looks like this: M4 is overwhelmingly powerful, with a single score of around 3900. For M2, it's about 2500, for M3 around 2600. The single-core performance has significantly improved. In terms of multi-core, it's 14,000, 11,000, and 12,000, respectively. The bottom one is the M1 Max MacBook Pro. Even compared to that, the performance here seems to be superior. It's amazing, frustrating, you know, because I have other stuff, but that's how the times change. So, things that couldn't be done before seem to be possible now. For example, with the one that has M2, as I will introduce later, you can use the pencil's hover function, depending on the processor's capabilities.

It seems that there are cases where it can be used or not, so I think that there is not a particularly big difference for now. Perhaps, due to the improvement in power efficiency, like this, it has become thinner. The new iPad Air has been released, and it is always thinner and lighter than the Air, right? However, this time, surprisingly, the iPad Pro is thinner. Maybe this M4 chipset, which achieves efficient power efficiency, is making this possible. Also, at first, I ordered the Magic Keyboard on impulse, but I canceled it. I forgot that it's quite heavy. There's also the 13-inch version, so I'll consider whether I really need the Magic Keyboard while comparing those aspects. The keyboard alone is about 60,000 yen expensive. Let's take a look. And with that, let's not forget about the people.

I might have made a mistake this time. The main body itself is now 12.9 inches and 100g lighter. They say the Magic Keyboard has also been updated to a new model. What kind of doodles are on it? Surprised by the flow, it's around 700 yen. By the way, this is a bit like the 9th generation, but look at this, the weight is 1550g. Wait a moment, let's try putting it on a MacBook. Seriously? Of course, it can be done. I think they are each different, but if it's a MacBook, it's fine. The Magic Keyboard itself is heavy. Recently, what I have been purchasing is this one. It was released in the previous season and compared to the Magic Keyboard, this one is lighter. Even though it comes with a keyboard, it doesn't have a trackpad. Look at this, it weighs 302g. Probably, when compared to the Magic Keyboard, it is almost half the weight. By adding this and this, it becomes a tablet-like weight of 770g. It's still lighter than a notebook PC.

No, it's the Smart Keyboard Folio that can be concluded by the weight of the tablet. This time, it seems like it's not included. By the way, what was really shocking earlier was that the shape is the same, right? But this one, the 11-inch one, is the same size and thickness. It's a little similar, but you can see that it can be closed firmly, but it's not compatible. It doesn't stick together. The magnetic positions may have changed or something. It doesn't stick together. It just doesn't stick together. That's why it's not usable. This is quite a shocking point. I won't use the Magic Keyboard this time because it's expensive and heavy. That's the reason. So, in reality, I'd like to take a look at the actual device a bit. I definitely don't want to use the Magic Keyboard. So, this time, the screen has changed a bit. I'm showing a black screen now, but until now, it was only 13 inches.

The display of the 12.9-inch one seems to be good because it uses right LED only, so the black looks good when closed. So, in a sense, this time, the 11-inch one seems to benefit the most from the update, right? Um, the 11-inch previously did not have that feature, so it was in a state where the black was slightly floating, but from this time, ta-da, it's OLED. With this introduced, the depth of the black should have improved. Can you tell? The texture of the black is totally different to the naked eye, but it's a bit hard to notice, right? Wait a moment, what about the brightness settings? It's totally different, but you can't tell, right? Maybe you can see it from an angle. For now, to make it easier to understand, I've made it a bit brighter, but the depth of the black has changed, it sinks in, it's different with the OLED unique deep black.

I think it's possible to achieve that, isn't it? When it's this dark, the contrast becomes high, and the video looks beautiful. Basically, when you watch any movie, it looks beautiful. Do you understand? By adjusting the angle from the video, it becomes easier to understand. With the conventional ones, the black tends to be deep, but here, the black seems to be sinking. Let's start using this tool right away. First, let's set it up. This time, we can use the squeeze function, switch tools with gestures, and use scripts. Let's continue. Let's try the squeeze function. What's this? Oh, amazing! When you grab like this, it's surprisingly easy. So far, it was quite difficult to go back to the eraser, but from now on, you can just do it quickly.

Oh, I see. Scribble, huh? Hello. This is the second-ranked text area. It's a feature that converts what you write with a pencil into text. I was looking for this. It's seriously convenient. It's continuously being added to the search function. Finally, let's enjoy the convenience with the genuine app. Well then, let's take a closer look at this. Or rather, it appears anywhere. Even if the pencil is far away, it works fine. When you bring it closer, it starts to appear in the nearby area. This way, you can use it even when it's far away, and when you bring it closer, it appears nearby. From here, you can choose the tip of the pen. Besides, um, the traditional one used to switch like a snap. Here, the pen itself vibrates and changes, which is amazing. It's become much easier to understand. The pen has been updated a lot. So, let's try changing something since we're here. Um, I want to try using that feature. Um, this time, I want to try something like a magic pen.

Let's go with the one that changes thickness depending on the angle. Even if you do it like this, you see, like this, the thickness changes a bit depending on the angle. Um, since we're at it, let's make it a bit thicker. By doing this, I think you can understand, yes, like this, the thickness changes depending on the angle. This is, um, just simply... just like that. Oh, this is it. It may or may not have a practical use, but you see, the thickness can be understood by the tilt of this pen. When you do it like this, it's the thinnest, and if you tilt it slightly, it's a bit thicker. And when you place it horizontally, it becomes very thick. So, you can express the thickness based on the angle. Because we understand this angle, it means it now corresponds to rotation. It's rotation-compatible, so by doing this all around, it has become relatively easier to compare, don't you think? Even hatching, for example, becomes a bit easier. It has become darker. Yes, like this, you can now do hatching. Oh, and then, easily switching here, like this.

It's fine to erase with an eraser or switch to another pen mode in the book. Is this the character recognition mode? When I say hello, it becomes hello, so please make the pen mode normal and thicker. This hover mode has been available since before, right? You can see where I'm running the pen now. Also, it's 120Hz, so the response is good. It feels smooth, just like a real pen, so easy to use. It's worth buying, right? And this time, you can choose from over 1TB, and there's something called nanotexture, but I couldn't choose it this time. The price goes up, and maybe you can't put anything on top of this nanotexture, like maybe you can't attach that paper-like paper on top, which makes it super easy to write with the Apple Pencil, feeling like writing on paper.

Because it's difficult, I think the normal mode is the best for me. Surprisingly, I don't need the abilities of this pro model this time, but I surprisingly use it seriously. I've written things before, various things in white. With this, I use Procreate to draw. I used to write a lot in the past. In various ways, drawing like this with Procreate, I think it can be quite useful. Yeah, it's good. It's good. It's good. After all, this... and in subtle ways, the facial recognition has advanced to the forefront. The camera is now in the middle. Due to that, whenever I hold it like this, the iPad Pro, I think it can be quite useful in various ways.

I often hold it sideways, and when I hold it like this, the camera is often hidden by this hand, so when you look at the conventional one, the camera is located here, so when it's opened like this, the camera is covered, like an arrow pointing that out. Oh, I see, that's right, that's right, it gives that kind of feeling. It's a bit subtle, but it's often done. Since it's located here, it's not easy to hide with this hand. At first, when I did it, in such places, the usability has improved a bit. And when using the Final Cut, it's good for cutting out people in real-time, and it's also used with 3D rendering software, you can really feel that it's about 23% faster and properly experienced. It seems that the usability has improved a bit. And when you use Final Cut, it's good for cutting out people in real-time, and it's also used with 3D rendering software, you can really feel that it's about 23% faster and properly experienced. But after all, it's important to improve the specs, and most importantly, improving the specs alone is not honestly interesting.

No, you know, until now, recently, when the M2 for cats was announced, or when the M1 was announced for the iPad, it didn't really get so lively, but this time, what is the point, you ask? Well, it's not really about this M4, but rather, it's about the upgrades here. With this M4, indeed, what happened was, for sure, the rendering that used to take 20 minutes before, now it's like 17 minutes or 15 minutes. It's a bit shorter, right? But still, it's not that impressive. It's really about what kind of experience you can have, which is a very important point. With this one, you can use it from the M2, but I think what really stands out is that this Apple Pencil Pro has become very user-friendly and it now supports searching, which I think is the best point. You know, sometimes you draw with kids, so from now on, using this iPad Pro with kids for drawing, I think it would be fun. You can enjoy drawing, and then, for illustrators or something like that, well, it's like

For those who are used to it, it feels really good, better than before. And now, there are updates coming for the apps, right? It's often said that Procreate and other apps that everyone uses will also be updated to support the new iPad. It's been said that it's good, but this time, it's a good thing. Just one thing to mention, the Magic Keyboard is good. There are various keyboards like the Keyboard Folio, but the Magic Keyboard is also good. Sometimes, depending on the app, the Enter button is hard to find. It's like, it's just hard to find the Enter button, you know? It happens quite often. Even with the Magic Keyboard, when you search on Rakuten or something, it happens a lot. So, I don't like this keyboard anymore. It's just that the compatibility is not good. That's why next time, I might go for one without a keyboard, just a cover, or something that has a little bump on the back.

It's like that, and this is just a cover. By using it in this way, it's lighter, and most importantly, you can enjoy the ability to change it like this for the iPad and use it in various ways. Personally, I think I'll use it in that way a bit. However, since it is expensive, I don't think you need to buy it right away. Truly, there are still updates to come, and in the future, apps may become extremely convenient. I see, so it's possible to do things like that. Perhaps at an Apple event, the OS might be updated. If at that time, it turns out that only M4 can be used, then maybe it's worth waiting a bit before buying now. From now on, it's hard to tell if it will get cheaper. I really don't know. It could drastically change with the yen becoming weaker.

On the contrary, I really don't know if the yen will appreciate or depreciate, but I think it's a good time to buy when you want to. Fortunately, the price is relatively high, so compared to iPhones and such, it's quite easy to get your hands on. I even canceled my order and placed it again two days later, but it still arrived on the release day. So, if you're interested, everyone, please be sure to check it out. That's it for today, let's meet again. And if you like, please subscribe to the channel. See you later. Oh, and everyone, what kind of work are you doing on the iPad Pro? Please let me know in the comments for reference.

Apple's Price Increase: Are Their Devices Worth It?

Apple's device prices have significantly increased over the years, with the latest 1TB iPad Pro and MacBook Air costing around 300,000 yen.

The new devices offer a thinner and lighter design, with the 11-inch iPad Pro being only 20 grams lighter than the older model.

The purchase decision is questioned, considering the high price for minimal differences in the devices' features.

Disappointing Updates and Surprising Changes in the M4 iPad

The new M4 iPad update is disappointing for the speaker, especially with the eSIM feature and setup process.

The M4 chipset shows overwhelming power and improved performance compared to M1, M2, and M3, which is frustrating yet impressive.

The M4's efficient power also allows for a thinner iPad Pro and raises considerations about the heavy and expensive Magic Keyboard.

Additionally, the speaker has been purchasing a lighter alternative to the Magic Keyboard, which offers a tablet-like weight for the iPad.

Changes in the 11-inch Tablet and Keyboard

The new 11-inch tablet no longer seems to be compatible with the Smart Keyboard Folio, possibly due to a change in magnetic positions.

The 11-inch tablet has benefited from the update with the introduction of OLED, providing a deeper black and improved contrast, making the video quality more beautiful.

The tablet also introduces new functions such as the squeeze function for easier use of the eraser and other tools.

The Enhanced Features of the Scribble App for Apple Pencil

The Scribble app now allows for easy switching between different pen tips and thickness, making it more versatile for users.

The updated app also includes a character recognition mode and a 120Hz response rate, providing a smooth and realistic writing experience.

The option to choose nanotexture for the Apple Pencil offers a paper-like feel, enhancing the writing experience even further.

The iPad Pro M4 offers improved usability with advanced facial recognition and a better camera placement.

It also provides a 23% faster experience for real-time people cutting and 3D rendering in Final Cut.

The upgrade's focus on user experience and the enhanced Apple Pencil Pro with new features make it stand out.

Updates and Compatibility of the iPad Pro and Accessories

Procreate and other popular apps are expected to be updated for the new iPad Pro, while the Magic Keyboard is praised despite some difficulties with the Enter button.

The high cost of the keyboard may lead users to consider alternative options, such as a keyboard-less cover, especially with the anticipation of future updates and the potential for price changes.
