What do you mean "pop" is an oversaturated and over-contrast screen settings which will be useless for trying to figure out color and detail of photo and video. In other words it's not properly calibrated.
Nothing wrong with your taste though. One will prefer what one thinks is good and pretty.

Yes, to each their own right. I don't really see the galaxy devices as oversaturated. They look spot on to me. Seems to me that Apple is getting there, just more slowly. Every new Apple device promises better, wider colors. I just chose to skip the wait and go ahead and get to where Apple is going with a Galaxy device and an HP laptop both with OLED. Put side by side next to a iPad and an MBP, everyone I ask picks the non-Apple display as best. I get it there are a lot of you people who use their devices for imaging work. I don't and so I don't care. I just pick what looks best to me. Curious to see how the iPad looks next to the Galaxy Tab s7 Plus though.

Wider color is not the same as over contrast though. Over contrast will look great to the eyes but it sacrifices tiny details. Apple will not go there. Their devices are used by professionals in photograph and video fields so accuracy matters.

Now this is different. iPad and MBP use LCD which can't be compared with OLED screen. It won't be a fair fight. OLED will win every time.
New iPhones however has OLED and it is one of the best OLED you can have in term of longevity and color accuracy (which is really hard to have in OLED).

I think Apple will go there, it's just a much slower pace. I returned an iPhone 12 because pictures and video just don't look as good on the device as they do on my galaxy phone. I will admit though that the iPhone 12 camera did better pictures as compared on a monitor as opposed to the phone displays. But, my galaxy phone is the lesser S20.

BTW. I saw an iPad Pro 12.9 2021 today at an Apple store. To me, it was not all that amazing as far as colors go.

I think the number people who use Apple devices for professional work is a tiny fraction of their business and Apple certainly does not have a recent history of catering to professionals. I think professionals are using much better displays then any Apple device can offer next to the XDR Pro Display.

That's because what you prefer is not what Apple is calibrating. 🙂 You think what you prefer is a gold standard. Apple thinks differently, no pun intended. 🙂
For example, this is from DisplayMate review of iPhone 11 Pro

"The iPhone 11 Pro Max excels due to its impressive Absolute Color Accuracy (0.9 JNCD), which is Visually Indistinguishable from Perfect, and is very likely considerably better than any mobile display, monitor, TV or UHD TV that you have."

Not sure if it's everywhere but here where I live almost 100% of video professional and advertising pro, the ones who have to check color accuracy of TV advertising, using iPhones. Have never met anyone using Samsung's. I'm sure in South Korea it will be vastly different though.

Has anyone mentioned what version of iOS the Pro's are shipping with? Just wondering if I update to 14.6 today on my old iPad if I would have any issues with the data transfer of my current iPad to the new Pro. I know in the past if the two versions of iOS weren't the same many years ago you could not do the direct transfer of data. Not sure if that's still an issue today.

You would have to update the new iPad to 14.6 first. It comes with 14.5.

Thanks! My iPad is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday so I'll hold off on updating my current iPad.
