iPad Pro iPad Pro needs 3000 nits displays

[Zest28]

So I was using the M1 12.9 iPad Pro on the beach today and there is a huge difference in comparison to the 3000 nits of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 when used on a sunny day.

With 3000 nits, you can see everything just as good under sun light as under regular conditions. This would be a big upgrade for the iPad which is currently limited to 1600 nits.

Not for me !

I mean, sure, maybe some hardcore users would need the extra brightness, but my eyes actually hurt a bit when I try to look at the display at full brightness. It was a large jump from the mini's lacking (in comparison) max brightness, but the Pro has plenty of nits for me.

That would definitely suck some significant battery power.

This is why there is a slider on the brightness section. Change for your own needs.

4000 nits at least! 🤦‍♂️

I want it as bright as the sun!

🤣

OR they give Apple Watch Ultra a 12.9" display via a case that covers the entire arm with a hinge at the elbow

I have a camera monitor that goes up to 3000 nits. It's so nice in the sunlight being able to see. But it gets very hot even with 2 fans inside and a thicker case with 4 ventilation slots. Fan noise is quite loud but it is what it is to have a display with this brightness output.

If you want an ipad pro with 3000 nits, expect the same. The casing would have to be much thicker, with ventilation slots and expect fans in it with noticable fan noise.

That would be my concern. There's a HUGE difference between brightening a 2-square-inch watch display and a, what, 80+ square inch iPad 😳

Would I like my iPad to be daylight-visible on a beach? Sure. But not at the expense of weight & (significant) battery difference. That's why I have a Kindle, after all.

Everyone is different but I can’t imagine taking my iPad Pro to the beach. I would just worry the entire time about damaging it.

You take your iPad Pro to the beach? How do you protect it from sand?

 

[yabeweb]

I don’t think it needs it, you might want it, that does not mean it needs it.

 

[iPadified]

Is there not more interesting things to look at at the beach?

I wouldn't want an ipad that gets that hot. Heat kills electronics. My external camera monitor gets so hot that I can't even touch the touchscreen without burning myself. It's like touching a red hot stove grill, it hurts a lot. I don't use it for hours and hours straight, I wouldn't trust it long term. It's even worse when using it outdoors in the summer with the sun beaming right down on it.
