Is the M4 iPad Pro worth it over the M2 model?

Yes for the display and portability: the OLED panel, thinner body and faster M4 chip are real gains. If you mostly browse and stream, the older M2 iPad Pro still covers those tasks.

Should I get the 11-inch or the 13-inch iPad Pro?

The 11-inch is easier to hold and carry, which suits note-taking and travel. The 13-inch gives more canvas for drawing and split-screen work.

What does nano-texture glass do?

It gives the screen a matte finish that scatters reflections, so it stays readable in bright rooms and outdoors. It is a finish on the glass, not a separate screen protector.

Do I need a cellular plan?

Only if you want data away from Wi-Fi. The cellular model also has GPS, which helps with maps and location apps; without a plan it still works on Wi-Fi.

Does it work with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard?

It works with the Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard made for the M4 iPad Pro. Older Pencil and keyboard models are not fully compatible.

Is 1TB enough for video and photo work?

For most projects yes, and external drives over USB-C add room. Large 4K or ProRes libraries can still fill it quickly, so plan on external storage.
