I recently received my M4 iPad Pro 13″ and completed the setup. I’m feeling quite disappointed with its brightness levels. Regardless of the settings—be it auto brightness, True Tone, or Night Shift—my new iPad Pro appears significantly dim.
When set to the middle brightness level, the screen is hardly usable, and it only becomes functional when adjusted to nearly maximum brightness. In comparison, my M1 iPad Pro, which has a mini LED display, is far superior in terms of brightness. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Could my M4 iPad Pro be defective? To illustrate the issue, I’ve taken some comparisons. Both devices have auto brightness, True Tone, and Night Shift turned off.
In a side-by-side comparison with both screens set to middle brightness, the M1 iPad Pro (located at the bottom) looks approximately 50% brighter than the M4 OLED display at the top. When I set the M4 iPad Pro to maximum brightness and the M1 iPad Pro remains at middle brightness, the difference in illumination is still stark, highlighting the issue further. I’m reaching out to others who own an M1 or M2 iPad Pro with mini LED displays and can also compare them with an M4 OLED iPad Pro.
Have you noticed similar brightness concerns? Your feedback would be much appreciated. Thank you.
