I thought that the ultrawide was valuable for room scanning with the LiDAR. But yes, other than that, no loss there. I rarely even use the ultrawide on my iPhone.
Got a tip for us?

Indeed - could not care less. However the new scanning feature looks useful - these shadows are really annoying in real life
And just like that, my perfectly fine 12.9 inches iPad pro m1, became horrible to my eyes. It was always TOO heavy and used MUCH less than my badly aging iPad Pro 10inches. If only it had Mac OS when attached to a keyboard it would be magic. Imagine: iOS without keyboard; Mac OS with an attached keyboard!!!. That is my target device.
2024 iPad summary.
Two Pro color choices: Silver, or Scratches & Fingerprints Black.
Two screen choices: Twenty year old LCD tech, or exorbitantly expensive and experimental OLED tech that might be broken a year later.
Think I'll pass for now 👍

I mean, in that case they could’ve got rid of the lidar sensor and the big square housing bump. Otherwise I would’ve preferred a single lens protruding like my 2018 Pro.
The regular iPhone 15 with camera bump is almost 4 mm or 55% thicker than the iPad Pro 13” with camera bump. Something has to give.
Yeah, I won't be replacing my M1 iPad Pro until I can actually use the new iPad Pros with macOS. Until then, it's just a tertiary device at best to my Macbook Pro and iPad Mini that I use substantially more than my M1 iPad Pro.
Yeah I won't be upgrading either. I'm just like you but I have the apple watch, the apple xdr display with the special apple monitor stand, the mac pro, apple tv, iphone pro, and the vision pro. The ipad is just something I have on the coffee table. I'm so bummed they didn't come up with an apple car, otherwise i would have bought that too because i can.
Kinda looks like a rush job to support AI that left out many features I use in my M2 11" iPad Pro 2TB. Don't feel like spending around $2,600 for this upgrade. I did go to the M2 from the M1 11" iPad Pro 2TB and got useful upgrades.
I have a M1 14" MBPro (64GB and 4TB SSD) and a M1 Ultra MacStudio (128GB and 8TB SSD) that could be upgraded to the M4 family if the specs warrant. Single core speed improvements are a determining factor in whether to upgrade.

I’m going the other way, trading in my M1 12.9” for the 11”. The only reason I went for the bigger form factor last time was that the larger one had the better screen. The M1 is still fast enough for everything I do: I simply want to move back to a smaller device without sacrificing screen quality. The other big change for me is the camera in landscape mode as I am on conference calls at least 3 hours a day. The lighter form factor of the 13 along with a slightly lighter Magic Keyboard are tempting, but I am really tired of my ultra mobile computer (ipad) being heavier than my MBA.
I think the argument is that the device is the same size, but the screen is bigger (i.e., smaller bezels).
Same size, the bezel’s just smaller.
13” of viewing space. The made the same argument with the Apple Watches unless you get the ultra the 42mm bands still fit the regular 44mm because the screen’s the same just less bezels
Certainly tempting with the OLED, but my M2 11” still works great and I don’t absolutely NEED OLED (just a nice to have). Plus, I have the MKB and don’t want to have to go through the whole selling my current iPad + MKB and buy the new model. Especially when I’m not going to make much use of the M4.
