ProRes Video Recording on M2 iPad Pro Requires Third-Party Apps, Not Supported in Native Camera App

You can capture ProRes on your iPad pro. You just need the right app. Where's the lie?
First of all, relax.
"PRO" does not mean Apple is targeting "professional" users. It's simply a label to differentiate and tier different iPad models based on features and price.
That's all there is to it.
Reminds me of the time they released iPad with LTE… only for that model to be able to use LTE on AT&T and Rogers.
I wouldn't be surprised if, at some point, Apple followed the likes of auto-makers and started locking functions behind a subscription paywall. Sure, your iPad is capable of shooting in pro-res, if you're an Apple One subscriber or pay $5 a month. Hey, we're just offering more options for the consumer. You don't have to pay if you don't plan on using it!
Read again. Neither comment focuses on Apple itself.
In any case, some of the most zealous critics of Apple in fact want Apple to do well. They care, and they compliment Apple when they do something right instead of just defending Apple no matter what. Their approval counts much more.
Drones and fanboys are a dime a dozen. Those who support a company but still remain critical are some of the company's greatest assets.
You need to think deeper. It seems you are the one who needs to "touch grass" and gain more understanding about people. But I want you to stay here, because I think everybody should be welcomed.
People complain because they care and want to stay with Apple. You don't see anyone complaining about Xiaomi on here.
The day I switched from Windows to Mac, I stopped visiting Windows forums and stopped complaining about Windows, because I stopped caring about it altogether.

The two are, of course true. Simultaneously. If an Apple engineer says that it DOESN’T gets done because there’s other more critical work to be done with the finite resources, they know better than anyone typing on MR. And, at the same time, if they have planned for and actually implement the change at some point in the future… then it’s done AND why some may say they buy Apple
There are a LOT of people that are upset that Apple stopped supporting iWeb and it shows!
I’m always thankful of Apple giving them things to be aggrieved about. They might direct their unfocused anger elsewhere. Always better to be angry at a multibillion dollar multinational corporation.
It's just odd that the iPhone camera app can do it, but not the iPad's.
I was using Debian/Ubuntu/NetBSD quite happily until 2011 when I returned to Mac. Been with Mac ever since. But I could always go back to Linux/BSD if Mac gets too iOS-like for me to bear.
Linux has so many window managers you can mess with ... tons of variety. Gnome, KDE, Blackbox, dozens more. Is nice.

Does that really matter here? This is not a thread about the pluses and minuses of ProRes. If someone want to shoot Pro Res and their equipment can handle it, who's to tell them to not do so because it doesn't fit into your aesthetics?The hate around here is getting worse. More and more people will leave. Only haters will remain. Enjoy the mutual hate.
How many more reasons NOT to get the newest iPad Pro? The A12X iPad Pro was beyond any other tablet and still is. It’s already future proof for a good 5-10 years… then Apple dropped the insane computer hardware M1 iPad that basically gave us another decade (like I feel the M1 has like 15 or more years before any slowdown, lol.)
I think I’ll upgrade when Apple releases the M3, hopefully with better Mini-LED, and also every new tech standard… and then some cooler things, like maybe being give control of the 120Hz and Uber bright 1500 nits… that’d be way cool.
As it stands though, with my M1 with 16GB of RAM and a high-end killer processor and amazing features, I can’t even imagine why I’d upgrade (unless they did what I wrote above, lol). The M2 is not worth anything and I wonder why Apple even released it.

Very surprised to hear that the native camera app is not supporting ProRes. Hopefully Apple provides a software update soon.
It’s impressive how fast Apple is destroying the iPad line. They used to be king of the tablet and are now squandering their lead position by botching both iPadOS and the hardware.
Guess it’s a good thing: now the competition can catch up and surpass them. Then Apple will have to really outperform itself to keep defending the Mac/iPad combo as separate products.

Its easier for me to steady a larger device like an iPad with my tremor and would love a larger device to shoot higher quality with.
Yes, this is just normal.
Apple shouldn't be required to create applications that take advantage of every hardware feature they have.
Default software should be simple and few.
