Photographer Austin Mann Reviews New 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro

Photographer Austin Mann shared his thoughts on using the new 12.9-inch Apple M1 iPad Pro for image editing in a recent blog post.

I ingested my images, backed them up, made selects, and edited them all on the new 12.9" iPad Pro with M1 chip connected to the 32" Pro Display XDR in our 25' Airstream Flying Cloud. It’s been a blast and below are my thoughts and observations for photographers considering the new iPad Pro.




Mann says that the iPad Pro is the fastest tool he's ever used for culling and sorting images. Additionally, he describes the new mini-led display as the brightest screen he's ever used outdoors, making it ideal for image reviews in the field.

Some wishes for improvement include a built-in SD/CFexpress reader, the ability to connect two storage devices simultaneously, background photo import, and panorama stitching in Lightroom.

"While a couple of key restrictions prevent me from traveling exclusively with iPad Pro, I know I’ll be using it in conjunction with my trusty 16" MacBook Pro more than ever before. After tasting the power of the M1 on iPad Pro, I can’t wait to see what Apple has in store as they implement the power of the M1 into their pro line of Macs as well!"
