iPad Pro 13 inch M4 speakers vs 13 inch m5

[TorontoSS]

Hello - I know there are many many threads on the differences of the two devices. I'd like to know specifically about the speakers. I have read in one case, where it's found that the speakers on the M4 13 inch (specifically on the 13 inch) are better than the m5. Is this true? Or are they roughly the same? I would have thought they'd be the same but wanted to see if anyone had heard a difference.

I am very likely that one case, since I even posted a video comparing all M generations.
So let me be clear. The M4 speakers are NOT better. They are just slighlty louder.
You can only tell if you compare them side by side (that what I just did to check again).
Not many people have M4 and M5 13" to compare and nobody will tell you one or the other is better since there is no better, and the difference is small. Same with M1 vs M4, the difference is very small.
2018 12.9" vs M1 12.9: much bigger difference. M4 vs M5: minor difference in volume that's all. More in the "roughly the same" camp than anything very noticeable.
Have I compared several M4 and M5 with the same results to avoid having a "special device"? YES. I have had 3 M4 (sold 1) and 2 M5 and they were all the same. Last time I compared the old M4 with the old M5 and now I am comparing the new M4 with the new M5, with the same difference.

I had both the 13" M4 and M5 at the same time - I have just the M5 now - and I couldn't tell a difference.

I had have the Pro's 13" M2, M4, M5... only felt a little difference between the M2 Vs M4, but NO difference at all between M4 vs M5

Thanks for clarifying that. That's useful to know and yes it was your quotes I had seen! Very useful to know it's mainly the volume rather than the quality.
