    So I made a video regarding why I wouldn’t recommend the M2 iPad Air recently and there were some comments claiming I shouldn’t judge a product before I get hands on with it, which is fair, and so guess what? I now have the M2 iPad Air…and my thoughts haven’t changed. Let’s delve into my review.

    I agree with you, and I've been very tempted to pick up an M1 Air ($399US on Amazon as of today) but have decided at stick with my mini 6 until I see what's new in the future.

    I get what you are saying, but if you don't want a refurb or older model, then the M2 Air is a sweet setup at $599 for 11''. I am not a big fan of the 13'' but that is also another thing to consider if you are looking for an iPad in a larger size. This give you this option without the over priced M4.

    • @SaranByte
      @SaranByte  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah it’s not a terrible iPad at the end of the day like I said in the video, but it doesn’t offer the best bang for your buck imo. Though if people feel the extra for the M2 model is justified then they defo wouldn’t be unhappy with it.

    i am a digital artist and at first i wanted to get a refurbished ipad air 4th but i came across the m2 air and felt it would be better for my creative tasks such as procreate, illustrator and clip studio paint, and ram plays a heavy factor when using these apps cuz i use alot of layers in my creative process. I wanted to know if it would be worth going for the 11" m2 base model, its just a 100 dollar difference with the air 4th 256gb? i dont live in the US btw so the M1 256gb is still pretty pricey

    • @SaranByte
      @SaranByte  18 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      In your situation get the M2, if M1 is still pricey. As you said you will benefit from having the additional power and RAM, but also you get the superior Apple Pencil Pro.

    The M3 won't be going into anything else - TSMC had massive production issues and low yields on the process M3 was on, same as A17Pro which is why we have M4 already and A18 going into the base iPhones this year!

      Yep these iPads last forever, your M1 model should even be fine for the next 4-5 years. I’m guessing by then the Air will have OLED, which would be nice.

      @@Hellohiq10 that’s fair, I’m based in the UK and my demographic is mainly American, hence why I focus on those markets. But ofc I am aware it varies per country. I will say however - the M1 will likely keep dropping price, the M2 just launched and so when retailers try to clear existing stock, you should see huge discounts. Also remember going refurbished/used is an option with M1.

    @marcustaylor9210 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    64GB for £599 on the M1 was bad, So I see the M2 as worth buying now at 128gb The m1 air are still over £500 on Amazon,
    I agree the M1 Pro was a good deal at £749 when it was current, but vanished from sale new soon as the m2 got launched plus they was more money.
    The new M4 is very nice just seen one today but it’s priced too high,
    The basic iPad won’t get many more years support,

    • @SaranByte
      @SaranByte  หลายเดือนก่อน

      In the US the M1 Air is $399, so I’m sure the UK market will catch up. Costco often does sales on older iPads as they clear existing stock. And do remember right now you can get the M1 11” for £549 which has quad speakers, 120Hz and Face ID.
      In terms of the 12.9” M1, it will come back in stock. I saw it was in stock a few days ago, now it’s not but that’s how Apple refurbished usually is. They go in and out of stock. I agree M4 is not worth buying at the current retail price unless you really want OLED.
      The iPad 10 is still a decent buy but yes software support will be limited, I’m guessing it will be updated soon

      @SaranByte  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @chidorirasenganz ofc there are edge cases where you might benefit from having the M2 model, but I still believe for the large majority of consumers, you’re better off going with the M1 Air or another older iPad.
