Final Cut Pro on the iPad Pro 2021? By Patrick Rambles

So last week I posted a video about what we might expect from the iPad Pro 2021, which is due to be launched quite soon. One of the most burning questions is: will we finally get Final Cut Pro on the iPad Pro this year? Let's ramble hey: what's up guys, it's great to see you all again and if you're new here, I'm Patrick- and this is why I ramble about tech and other stuff. So are we getting Final Cut Pro and Xcode and logic, and all the other pro applications on this year's iPad? Let's theorize a little, and please do share your thoughts in the comments below I'm really curious to hear what you think. I have my theories and I will explain why. I think what I think, but of course we won't know for sure until we do- and that is when apple decides to enlighten us. So here's why I don't think it is that far-fetched to believe that the pro apps are coming to the iPad.

First, the discussion is not new. Around April last year we saw a lot of trusted sources. Talk about this john prosper tweeted, a couple of pretty bold statements, suggesting that Final Cut Pro is coming to the iPad. On April 20th he wrote I'm not going to say that Final Cut Pro is coming to the iPad, but Xcode is present on iPadOS 14 and the implications are huge. It opens the door for pro applications to come to the iPad.

That's an interesting theory, but two days later, he tweeted this I'm 100, confident that final cut and Logic Pro and Xcode are coming to the iPad Pro. I cannot confidently say to what capacity or with what limitations due to ram management, but it's happening within the next year or so. Well, it's almost the next year or so I guess we will soon find out if twitter's apple Nostradamus was right. Renee Ritchie was talking about it. Last year, Justine all the apple aficionados got on the Final Cut Pro for iPad train.

So why do I think they might be right? Well, a couple of reasons, and please hear me out. Well, you can't really interrupt me. This is a video, but you know what I mean so in the past, Apple has denied that there will be any kind of amalgamation of their devices and between operating systems. In fact, in 2018, Craig Frederick answered this question with a categorical note. Well, in the words of Ron burgundy, I don't believe you, I think apple has readjusted a couple of times.

Over the past years, we were never going to expect mouse support for the iPad. It was going to be a touch only device, then iOS 13 came and boom mouse support. Last year, apple released the iPad magic keyboard alongside its 2020 model of the iPad Pro, and what was their slogan again? Oh yeah, your next computer is not a computer. A few years back apple would have never dreamt about suggesting the iPad could be used like a computer, yet we're sticking it to a heavy keyboard structure using it and lugging it around like a MacBook, including a mouse. So we have definitely passed that stage where it is almost considered blasphemy to compare the iPad to a laptop.

Your next computer is not a computer. Other brands have already been dabbling in this for some years now, take Samsung DEX, which does a pretty reasonable job in letting your phone or tablet emulate a desktop experience. Now. The way apple seems to have been working in recent years is that they don't really invent new things anymore, but they monitor what others are doing, wait until that technology has somewhat matured and then apple swoops in and does the same thing, but does it better? Now, I'm not saying there's going to be apple decks there isn't, but I'm saying that people are ready for hybrid devices and apple knows this, and that's why I think now is the time for apple to act and look at the new mac. Lineup apple introduced the m1 chip, which is relatively similar to the chips we find in the iPad pros, especially the a14x or z chip that we expect to see in the new 2021 iPad pros, which is basically the a14 chip we see in the current iPhones, but with extra performance and graphics course.

But even the current iPad pros are extremely capable devices, and we know that the iPad, in theory is capable of most things. The mac is capable of doing. I mean, let's stick with video editing as an example and look at suffusion. You can upload 4k video files to your iPad. Pro and suffusion will cut through these files like butter without any issues, not a single stutter.

My main editing computer is a specked out, 16-inch MacBook Pro and even a beast of a computer like that struggles. Sometimes when it comes to video editing, granted suffusion is no Final Cut Pro, and we would have to consider things like plugins and other complications, but the point is that even the current iPad Pro can handle a great deal by the way I use my very expensive, 16-inch MacBook Pro in clamshell mode. It literally lives on my desk and I don't even like using it as a laptop. The typing experience is awkward, it's heavy and the touch bar I mean who needs that it's in my way, I keep touching it by accident. I just don't like it.

The only reason why I own this computer is pro applications and the fact that multitasking on the iPad still feels a little awkward, and it's not super efficient, but if it weren't for that, if I had to start from scratch right now, I'd buy a Mac mini with a m1 chip, which is significantly cheaper than my 16-inch MacBook Pro, and I would use my iPad Pro for everything else. But what I would really like is to have all my pro apps run on my iPad Pro and not have a computer at all. I want to plug my iPad Pro into my external monitor. Have it adapted to the aspect, ratio and use it like? I would my MacBook and when I leave my desk, I unplug it and use it like that, and I'm not alone. People are ready for this, and I can already hear the naysayers.

That's never going to happen. Why would apple cannibalize its own mac lineup? That's ridiculous, you're wrong, maybe, but what if apple, is willing to give up some of its short-term profit for additional market share? What, if apple, is working towards amalgamating its entire computing lineup into one hybrid device in the near future? Sure if the iPad would be able to do all the things we just talked about? A lot of people would stop buying macs, but I genuinely think that far more people would now consider getting an iPad over computers, but also over other brands if it could be used as a computer. So that would mean apple would significantly increase its market share at the expense of its competitors and more iPads in more people's hands means more of apple's, software and apps in more people's homes, and if more people start using Apple iPads chances are, they will also start using Apple iPhones, because we all know how tightly woven the Apple ecosystem is. So chips are getting similar. We have computers that resemble iPads.

We have iPads resembling computers. Also, the new models are expected to have storage options up to one terabyte, and why would you need one terabyte if it's not for video or photo editing, and maybe this is also why we keep hearing rumors of a subscription-based model for apps. Like Final Cut Pro, which would make the apps more accessible to more people, the future of computing is mobile, and your next computer is not a computer, alright, guys I'll, stop rambling. If you like this video, please give it one of these. That really does help the channel and subscribe for more content.

Thank you so much for watching and see you in the next one. You.
