Well, I am definitely out on that. I dont ever really use the iPad outdoors anyway. I will continue to get the regular glossy one.
Strongly recommending nano +1

Ya scratches very easily. Get the glossy and paperlike screen protector especially if u get the keyboard case cause that alone can scratch the display

Yes, but thats because its a matte screen. Compared to the standard glass, the OLED blacks/colors definitely pop more.

For me, the definition and colors of the nanotexture display are worse. Blacks are gray. It's like having a low-quality IPS display.
The new M5 iPad Pro scratches extremely easy. A friend managed to scratch his with just his fingernails. Now he wears gloves when using.
How is this possible? The M4 and M5 iPad pros only go up to 600 nits when using manual brightness settings. M1 iPad Pro goes up to the same, 600 nits. Have to have the iPad with adaptive brightness and it will go up to 1000 nits but only when outside.

Hmm I suppose it isn't then. The screen still seemed a lot brighter to me at 50% when I had them both side by side indoors.
That's when I asked an AI and it gave me a great AI hallucination that it was brighter - because it just looked at that 1000 nits out of context.

I call BS on this: fingernails are about 2-2.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, glass is around 5.5 so it shouldn't be possible to do that.
The benchmark reliability is debatable, on my M5:
Jazz: read 3346, write: 2509
Antutu: read 3396, write: 2857
Passmark performancetest: read: 1945, write: 4652
Passmark seems to be completely off. At least the other 2 are a bit more consistent
My M2 2TB:
Jazz: around 2500 for both read and write, second time: 2737 read, 2245 write
Antutu: 3112 read;: 3770 write (second time was quite consistent)
So not consistent at all for the M2
M1 2TB
Jazz: 1580 write, 2072 read
Antutu: 3524 read, 2990 write
Completely crazy...

I'm sorry to hear about your display. I can understand the risk factor. One could easily forget if owner of a few devices

I upgraded from the M4 to the M5. Both versions specs are identical, 2TB Cellular Nano, space black. Figured I would try out the M5 for the week, see how it performed and if it was worth the upgrade, and in the end, for me it was.
The main factor that drove me was the speed. To be clear, M4 was no slouch, but everything is instant. I was in a fringe area for coverage, my iPhone and M4 in that area would typically drag, everything loaded slow from emails to websites. This updated cellular is for real! There are no delays, tap, enter, or click, everything is instant.
I’m also noticing battery improvements. I think with the better efficiency of the chips, it seems to drain much less than the previous iPads I’ve owned. Most M4 owners would not need to even think about upgrading, but there is definitely more going on under the hood than they are advertising.

Just returned from the store with the M5 11" base, and like a rare-cooked steak, I am letting it rest now while it's indexing and downloading from iCloud.
Apple's QC is lacking, though. Immediately I noticed there's a cut in the aluminum on the edge, doesn't bother me, but this didn't happen before. Hopefully this is the only QC fail on this device.

I am returning my 256 13 M5 for a 1TB 13 M4. And not it's not a mistake.
For me the tipping factor was the worse speakers (although the M5 ones are more than fine for most people), 12GB RAM would have been enough (8GB weren't), but at that point I'll gladly take the additional 4GB and more storage too. In exchange I gave up cellular since I am keeping my cellular 12.9 M2 for trips.
PS got the (new) 1TB M4 wifi for $100 more than the base M5 cellular

Got my 13 Inch 512 gb yesterday.initially I decided the base model would be enough for me but I instantly took the plunge for the 512 model after I saw it for 190€ off I in a german shop I trust. so got 512 gb for only 50 eddies more I initially planned to invest for the 256gb. double the ssd speed is nice to have.
All fine so far, only owned one iPad previously, an ancient iPad Air 2 that I wasn't really using anymore, so I'm obviously pretty blown away by everything 😀 but not really by all the iPadOs 26 glitches that hopefully will be ironed out...
