Which of these two iPads would you go for (and why)?
Neither.
Certified refurbished iPad Air 4 £440
I like the new ipad in yellow and pink. I just think the whole pencil thing is retarded. i realy need a 512GB tho
I got the ipad air
5
Refurb Air. Not much more money and get a more modern IPad.
If I had to choose between these two models I would always go for the Air. Not only for the pencil 2 support but the M1 chip will give you stage manager and external monitor support as soon as iPadOS 16.2 becomes available.
This is exactly my point as well. The iPad Air will become a viable computer for most casual users. Great option for students and kids.
I got the iPad Air 5 shipped new open box 450. I was goining to get the iPad 10 but I had iPad 8 and it disappoints 2 gen later so if I got the 10 well…. M1 all day I get today they are very close but tomorrow we will not be able to say that
@@hunterscarborough1140 why?
10th gen ipad not support scene manager and external monitor? (16.2 when it comes)
How often do you actually use stage manager though
Doesn't this behavior of Apple today remind you of when Steve came back to the company and there were dozens of products on the line, and he just closed practically all of them to prevent Apple to bankrupt ?
Yep!
I was lately thinking exactly the same
There are WAY too many iPads in the range. There should be a budget 10/11 incher, a better specced 11', a Pro model 11/12 incher and a well specced 8" mini. Nothing else.
@@adamski101 isn’t that pretty much what they have now but you can get the pro in 2 different sizes? 😂🎉
There should only be 4 iPads at this point, the mini, the Air in like 6 colors, and the Pros. And they ALL should have Apple Pencil 2 support.🤦🏾♀️
This was so immensely helpful, Mark. THANK YOU!!!
Always love the even handed perspective, praise and criticism where applicable
Also, got a legit LOL when doing the comparison
Great comparison Mark, and thank you for offering your honest perspective on what actually matters when buying an iPad.
Brilliand review, Mark! Thanks a lot! Best part is when you talk about the pensil! Enjoyed it! 😀
Haha - thanks!
Nice review, crisp and sharp. Thanks
Well done!. The first time watching your videos and love it!. Keep the good tech work!
Thank you!
Listening to him is like I’m hearing JARVIS
HAA! 😂
Finally someone said it! 😂
I ended up with the Air 5 and i got the Apple Pencil and Logictech keyboard portfolio (it has the function keys and great keyboard at half the price of the Magic Keyboard) for myself. I will end up getting the Gen 10 for my mom so she has a reliable device for when my sister want to FaceTime her (she like the camera position).
Recently, this is the most accurate and practical review ever on an ipad
You are the most honest guy and the way you explain is the way everyone should do it
Great video. Thanks for the information
I know I’ll never need an Apple Pencil- and I mostly just use my iPad as a streaming device with basic web browsing and texting. Also like that it includes the second screen ability from the Mac. Honestly it was hard to justify the added cost for the iPad Air, so I went for the 2022 ipad 🤷🏻♂️. Works for me!
Great review thanks
Thanks it was really a good review
You had me ROLLING with this review! “They both have cameras, that you probably don’t use anyway!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I like pink and I’m cheap! I’m going with the basics!
Thank you for this video ! Helped so much.
No problem!
I was intending to buy the IPad (10th gen) but pleasantly found that Best Buy this week has the IPad Air for $499 which is a huge $100 discount. So it was a no brainer to buy the Air.
Another brilliantly fair review Mark... how the hell have you not got 6 figure subscribers?!?!
I wanted a blue 256 GB iPad Air 5 cellular but the store only had that configuration in starlight.
It's not important because it stays permanently in a case and the colour is mostly not seen. I bought a month before the iPad 10 was released. On that release date the price of the Air increased by A$110.
I’d go for the iPad Air because it has a better keyboard (sits on your lap, backlit keyboard, and enables you to charge while using a USB C accessory), and better CPU (M1 Chip which means the device is future proofed for at least 5 years).
Thanks for this video
Thankx for this comment!
Really appreciate your product reviews. Videos are brilliant. Definitely my favorite stop over to check out Apple products. Well done.
Awesome - thank you!
I bought the air 5th Gen today… watching videos to learn about it until it comes in the mail! I picked the air solely bc of the Apple Pencil issue you spoke about. I didn’t want to mess around with a dongle etc.
I currently have an iPad 9th Gen and I bought an Apple Pencil and a case that is designed to hold the pencil. I’ve had them about a year now and I think I’ve used the pencil twice. On the other hand I’ve had to quite a few video calls and meetings and I don’t like the off center camera view. So, I might be one of the few people who would be interested in the 10th Gen, especially with the nice keyboards, but right now, the 9th is fine.
I don’t know about the performance gap between these two during normal use,but I did notice a huge difference in performance when I was editing and rendering some videos…m1 is a beast compared with a14
I’m definitely a “ Steve Jobs Era “ iPad owner ! They are bought refurbished, I own a Mini 2 ($70) Air 1 ($100) and an Pro 1 9.7 ($150) the Pro is my favorite! I don’t mind the “ Classic Design “ of them. They look and work really well. The Pro 1st. Gen still iPad OS 15.7 👍 I’ll be sticking with these great devices 😎❤️ If I were to buy a NEW iPad, it would be the 9th Gen that Amazon is selling for $279, sorry Apple.
Great video thanks 😊
No problem!
This is one of those reviews i was looking for.
Finally someone puts it into all perspectives. Not all of us are using a pencil on the iPad and most reviewers concentrate solely on that, bashing the 10th gen, dismiss it completely.
But your review convinced me that the 10th gen is the better buy vs the Air, thanks for that!
Thank you, someone said it. I think most ”normal” users don`t use the pencil...
I'm saying. Very true. Won't be needing using an apple pencil.Off to order the 10 Gen iPad...😅
I agree with you. I bought an iPad 10G Wifi in Australia. I'm a first-time iPad User. I use it for taking notes, general browsing, and YT Kids for my child. I don't miss the Center Stage functionality at all. I bought the Logi Crayon to write and Logitech ComboTouch as the keyboard with the $ I saved.
If you don't use the apple pencil I still believe the 9th gen iPad is a way better bang for your buck. You're looking for the basics and budget only, and apart from the newer design it doesn't offer much more than that.
@@calebkimm325After watching a few videos I’m definitely going for the 10th Gen because it still works and is not that much money.
After so many reviews raving about the iPad Air I was relieved to see an appropriately critical review that also highlighted some of the key differences between it and the 10th gen iPad. The only place I might disagree with is that the M1 chipset will likely help the upgraded software run more efficiently (and hopefully longer that the A14) as this iPad gets older. Otherwise, I really like that the camera on the 10th gen is more appropriately located for use in video calls if I'm using it as a laptop. The other option is getting the iPad Air and using another keyboard that allows use in portrait mode... What folio keyboard allows this? Suggestions?
Logitech combo touch
@@nickbodily8495i think the commented meant one where the keyboard is located on the side the usb-c port is, which the logitech combo touch isn't. i dont actually think such thing exists yet as there probably isn't much demand for it
I’m so glad I it the iPad Air 5 instead of the current base ipad. Basically I was able to get the iPad Air 5 on sale for $500.00, which was basically only $50 jump (Ik that sounds a lot for one people but for me it was pretty good). I already saw so many videos saying that this ipad wasn’t worth the money, and I already got an Apple Pencil 2 from when I accidentally bought the wrong stylus for my 7th gen ipad. Since the iPad Air 5 is compatible with the Pencil, I just decided on a starlight ipad air 5 with 64GB.
Hi Mark! firstly thank you for your well detailed explanation! I wonder between iPad with only Wi-Fi & one with cellular and Wi-Fi. Could you please share your thoughts on that?
TouchID on the power button has always been a problem with me because the same button is used to turn the iPad off.
So I always turn it off when I mean to turn it on because I push by habit.
Laminated display, though? Worth the extra money, because I HATE the non-lam displays.
The better keyboard and proper webcam placement makes iPad 10th Gen a better choice for me I think. I agree though they didn’t need a new iPad that fits between iPad and iPad Air….
Getting the 10 Gen iPad...Sorry Air. Not sorry! Great informative video. Great work putting it together. Lots of work I know. Cheers mate👍
Thank you!
Hi Mark: iPad 9th gen/256 gig and saved about $250 compared to 10th gen. And thank you again!
Enjoy!
I would always choose the air over the 10th gen, not only for Apple Pencil 2 support, but bc of the laminated display and M1 chip. That being said, I am hoping that apple finds a way to give the Air and Pro models a landscape camera with Apple Pencil 2 support
Ipad 10 is 300 in amazon today
No doubt the next air model with get the landscape camera, I think they hold this stuff back to force upgrades and leave themselves room for upgrading their tablets. It makes perfect business sense, but why does a lower price 10 gen model have some better features like landscape camera, and the more expensive air doesn’t?
@@Therejectionartist because these products are designed years in advance and the standard iPad was due for a design change. The Air and especially the pro will get the landscape camera this year I’m sure.
I got the 10th Gen for my mother. She doesn’t need the pencil and isn’t a power user. Plus an appropriately placed camera
Ipad Air 5 for me
Can you make a comparison with the samsung galaxy tab S8? love all your videos btw
Thank you, thank you I'm buying the Air 5 now.
Glad I could help!
I knew there was something strange. I’m new to Apples ecosystem. I was so confused when I was picking out an iPad, given the prices and sizes where very close to each other. So I picked the Air5 because know M1 is better.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who is confused by all these models.
Hi
Thanks for your great video.
I currently have an iPad 6th Generation 32 GB. After some years I feel that the iPad is lagging in performance and storage is basically full. I currently use my iPad professionally to access MS apps (Excel, Word,PDF, Edge) as also power point for presentations. It is also used for Teams meetings. On a personal level I just use it for social media and offline streaming while travelling.
The next iPad should also have cellular capabilities as not always wifi is available. I currently also have the apple pen first generation.
Would you help choose the best iPad for me.
Thanks
I feel like if you don’t care about the pencil than save the money and get the 10th gen and only if you really want the new design. I really feel like wanted to get this out at $399 and couldn’t so they kept the 9th gen in the line up. Long term I think the plan will be drop the 9th get this to $399, drop the 11in pro and maybe do a 14 or 15in pro. So the future line up will be Pro with M series, Air with M series -1 (gen behind the Pro), Mini with an A+ chip (chip that is in the iPhone Pro series that year) at $449, Base iPad with A chip (from the base iPhone) for $399
I ordered the air over the standard one, the only thing i loved about the Standard 10 was the yellow color, i think it looks amazing. What i really dont like about the Ipad 10 is that they put the A14 in it, even my Iphone 13 pro max uses A15. In my case the ipad air has not that much more feature though i could use compared the normal one but the price was not that much of a difference. Only the laminated screen, stronger CPU and 1mm thinner case is usefulle to me.I dont care about the camera, reflective coating and the use of external monitors at all. I would love i could buy an ipad without cameras at all. The air should have the 120 Hz screen.
If anybody is wondering what ipad to actually get and don’t wanna spend too much money and not waste money. Get the iPad Air 5th generation or the iPad mini 6th generation. Both are great options for a tablet that your using for creative purposes or even just gaming.
I love it I upgraded from the mini 5 so I’m happy I can use my Apple Pencil still
I love ur accent 😍
Logitech also makes the same Magic Folio Keyboard called Combo Touch that’s compatible with the Air. Also cheaper by the way.
Great information - one suggestion to help the viewer! Please mark the devices - even though they are clearly color coded, it is hard to remember which is which when listening hard to your astute observations and comparisons.
I had a blue 256gb Air (cellular) delivered last Saturday. My 2018 iPad is still going strong, but I wanted someone newer and faster. Well, I haven’t unboxed my new Air yet as I can’t help thinking that I should have bought the Pro with the better camera and speakers. Think I have buyer’s remorse. Well done Apple for confusing me again 😂
Hello! Thanks for your video, it has been really helpful. I am thinking now to buy a tablet to start editing videos. Which one would you recommend me to buy? Thanks anw for your time!
Thanks i brought the 10 gen
You can buy a Logitech Folio detachable keyboard, with a back stand for the iPad Air (5th Gen) too :)
Fun comparison
I just ordered the Air 5 because it will process audio and video editing faster in cafes. Also, less glare outdoors. Unfortunately I'm going to need to get some kind of USBC headphones and mics - bluetooth has lag and is useless when editing.
If they’ve changed the charging port to usb c what do you do with all your lightning cables? Is there a way to convert them?
Would you able to do iPad 10th Vs 9th generation that would be incredibly useful
i love that we are just two ipad nerds
I’m sure you figured it out after the video, and it’s been pointed out by others, but the location of the camera precludes the MagSafe pencil connection, I would deal with the awkward camera placement to have use of the Pencil 2.
Yup. No reason to prioritise that camera placement over the Apple Pencil choice.
Depends on how you use the thing.
If you don't ever use a pencil and do a lot of Zoom calls.....
hi, i have 1 question..
can ipad air m1 have ipad 10th smart folio?
i really like the blue one and i need it for my ipad air m1 blue
You are totally right. Too many variants now. I own a 12.9 iPad Pro 2021 version and looking at getting an iPad for my 8 year old son. The models I was looking at were iPad 9, 10 Air 2022 or iPad Pro 11 inch 2021. I opted for the Pro 11 inch 2021. The reason I finally opted for this is the refresh rate, a compromise of internal storage (128gb) Face ID, quad speakers were most of the reasons why I decided on this,
Don’t underestimate the iPad mini 6. I much prefer to use it for media content than my 11inch M1 pro
…. Young children are why the 9 and 10 exist. They break stuff. 😉
Sounds like you bought that for your own backup device.
Hey joe I was thinking of getting the iPad Pro 2021 , do you think it’s worth it for 700? I want something to last me for a long time, is it worth it for the speakers and everything like that?
@@GiantsJets718 I was lucky and picked up a brand new one for £450!
700 is a lot of obviously a lot of money, it depends what you will use it for ? The cost will increase towards £1000 if you need any accessories.
I think generally most apple products have a decent life span if you look after them and consider the capability of the internal software. My Mid 2014 MacBook Pro is still going strong and I stopped upgrading the MacOS a couple of years ago
@@jmbosquesillo7203yep. I don’t know why am 8 year old would care about refresh rate and how loud it is. It doesn’t even know how to multiply 😅
we need much more of these critical videos/reviews. Apple needs to wake up and learn again to do it right for the customers.
It won't be my last ;)
Audio production which is a big thing on the iPad the M1 is definitely faster on those things recording multitracked compositions with virtual instruments there is a massive user base for this so that's one group who want an air or pro with the M1 in it.
Where’s Logic Pro, though?!
I believe the ipad 10 is just a rebranded ipad air 2020 with a cheaper screen but you do get 5G connectivity plus improved front facing camera with the ipad 10. Ipad air 2020 benefit is..
Fully laminated display, Anti-reflective coating, Wide colour display (P3) sRGB, True Tone display. Both have exactly the same A14 bionic chipset. Local shop "Argos" is selling the ipad air 2020 256GB model same price as the ipad 10 64gb right now. I have my ipad 10 with out catching onto this. Feeling i miss out but the ipad 10 is still great i have no issues with the screen. So close between the two models. I think the 5G reliability connectivity on ipad 10 would of won me over by the finest of margins. Faster internet for streaming movies. tbh the improved screen and the 256GB at the same price would of been hard to turn down.
Will kingone stylus pencil be compatible with new ipad 10th gen?
Kingone stylus does not work for ipad air 5
There is a technical reason why apple cannot put apple pencil 2 and that is landscape camera hardware takes up space where the charging dock for apple pencil 2 was supposed to be.
Would you rather choose new iPad or iPad Air 4th generation? mainly using for school, sometimes photo and video editing. I would love the new base iPad, but I´m a bit curious about still using the 1st gen Apple Pencil.
Just get the Air. Writing on the laminated display is better. On the non laminated it makes an annoying hollow sound. Charging the pen with an adaptor sucks balls If you ask me.
I own the Air 4 used it for studying and it’s a badass device!
I just got the iPad Air 5th Gen, and I'm digging it.
hey, I'm planning to buy iPad air 5 for my next 5 years of college. I'll just use it for note taking, reading, lectures and maybe streaming. Will 64GB suffice for next 5 years if I also use iCloud+? Or should I go for 256GB iPad 10gen, which is priced the same here.
@@khaitul 256 gb full out, only because I've been there before and it is a nightmare not to have enough internal storage friend!
In the UK, when Apple released the 10th Gen iPad, they increased the price of the 9th Gen from 316 UK Pound to 369 UK Pound
Yup and on Amazon u can get the air 5 for 569 and the 10th is 499
Get the air 5, more portable, faster processor, and 2nd gen Apple Pencil. iPad Air 5 is the best, better than iPad, cheaper than iPad pro
It’s wild to me that not a single reviewer understands that the reason this one supports the first gen pencil for schools who already have a bunch of pencils they don’t want to rebuy. Granted I think they should support both pencils but still.
Any school with a half decent eye on its budget will go for the 9th gen. This iPad isn’t for that market.
The reason they could not support pencil 2 is that the camera uses the place where the magnets and charging coil goes for the pencil
I got 10th gen 64GB for $449, then a week later I found ipad air 4 256GB for 499 brand new on walmart website. I’m a casual user so I don’t care so much about the M1 chip.
A small advice mark. When you compare the 2 items keep it left & right through the end of the video without interchanging their sides.
I wish making these videos was that simple 😉
@@MarkEllisReviews I know but i love ur content
Don't forget the refurbished store. Currently, you can find a similarly specced iPad Air (4th Generation, not the new 5th) for £439.00, straight from Apple, which is just lower than the 10th Gen new iPad. Remember Apple essentially reused the older iPad Air design, chip, etc for the new iPad. Saving £60, you get the same A14 bionic chip, Slightly better display on the older Air, slightly worse selfie camera at 7MP instead of 12MP landscape on the new iPad 10, and Magic Keyboard support (In my opinion better than the Keyboard Folio, because of backlit keys, and pass through charging), and a big thing, Apple pencil 2nd Generation support, which is just straight up better. Maybe losing a few colour choices. The refurbished store is quite reliable, as the iPad you're getting would have a new chasis and new battery. Therfore it would be better to get and iPad 4th generation from the apple refurbished store.
I’ll go for the air since they cost almost the same in my country. It’s a 50 euro difference
I recently upgraded from a 6th gen to the 5th gen air and whilst I think it’s brilliant and a huge upgrade, I would’ve preferred to save a bit of money and buy the 10th gen had it been out at the time. Yes it’s a controversial opinion, but I’ve never used the Apple pencil nor have any intention to so this issue doesn’t bother me, nor does the unlaminated screen. At the end of the day I wanted an iPad with the newer full screen design that uses usb c and one that allows me to do lots of writing and the new keyboard looks better then the rest. My only real criticism of the new 10th gen is the ridiculous price increase from the 9th gen
I have a 6 year old iPad that i traded for $65.00. The iPad cost me 419.00 less $65.00 so I paid about $365.00. I was hesitant at first but I figured I only need this for watching movies and emails web surfing and the likes. It’s pricey but I hope it will be like my iPad 5th gen that I was able to use for 6 years. I didn’t get the 9th gen because I want the usb c. So basically I skipped on the 9th gen because of the screen size and the usb c.
same bruh i just upgraded to a 5th gen air from a 6th gen ipad
@@lebronjames5287I’ve been planning on doing that too I guess the air is just perfect for people that used 6 gen
i feel again that this may be an unpopular opinion - as a user of an ancient 2017 10.5in ipad pro + 1st gen apple pencil, the 10th gen looks pretty good except for the colours. i use my ipad primarily to watch movies, youtube videos, emails, some web surfing i.e. *exactly* what you said ipad users do, & have realised that i don’t exactly need a pro for all this. that sald, i’ve only ever used my ipad pro so there’s no comparison for me.
as for losing the pencil’s cap - it is magnetic & attaches itself to the side of the ipad. of course with disappearing bezels maybe it’s different now but that’s what i do.
i’ve also done minor editing work on M365 apps / acrobat & everything’s been great.
i was inspired by david hockney & had intended the ipad pro + pencil to do more digital art but it never went very far 😅
all this makes me wonder if the 10th gen is for those like me who jumped at getting the pro before realising that an « ordinary » version would do very well too. & we don’t even have to get a new pencil !
i have no incentive to get a new ipad but desperately need to replace the smart keyboard.
I owned the 10.5 Pro and changed recently to the 10th gen. iPad due to the facts you describe above. Surprisingly the new one is superior in pretty much any field despite speakers and anti reflective coating.
Comparing TEXT reading - Ipad 10th more pleasent for my eyes causing less eye strain / same brightness , truetone off / compared ipad 10th, ipad 9th, ipad air 5
I’m super conflicted, because I want a new ipad (currently have the air 2 from 2016), and i want to use it for daily stuff (email, youtube, etc), but also for drawing with procreate. I have a 1st gen apple pencil, so i wouldn’t be able to use that with the air. Is it really that much of an issue to charge the pencil with a cable? Because how often do you really need to do that? Otherwise I’d need to spend €200 more on the air + invest in a 2nd gen apple pencil. Is that worth it? idk…
I wanted a I pad with much more storage . so the I Pad Pro version is the one but all I Pads are so expensive.
maybe missed it but what about battery live time?
I have seen 3 youtubes compairing battery from ipad mini, 9th, 10th, air, pro 11 and pro 12.9
In each of them the 10th was going 1 hour longer than air?
i have also seen feedback from users about the short battery live of ipad air.
Otherwise i would buy the air but that is making me doubt it
Can’t you use the detachable keyboard with the air? Or is the connector in the wrong place?
I have the new air. I love it so far. I use it mainly for streaming and drawing. Can’t complain.
The review I was looking for! I was going to buy the iPad Air but I had the suspect that it is the same of the normal version. I was right 😂 I’ll save some money for something more useful 😌
I am after my 1st ipad and looking at the ipad 9 or 10 or an ipad air 5. Just for watching films and surfing and some drawing.
Damn your voice is so powerful and that Brit accent is so lit
Air.
Pencil 2
Laminated screen
Helpful 👍🇮🇳
Hi Mark, I am wondering what you think about the Paperlike making the iPad's display look less brillant. I've never used a paperlike nor I think about doing so in the future, I was, just wondering how you think about that.
As mentioned in the video, it barely looks like it's there :)
Laminated screen does not mean a smaller gap. It means no gap at all. That results in a much reduced glare. The entry-level iPad has a non-laminated screen because it’s geared towards young people (kids, teenagers), and old people (older parents and grandparents) who just need a basic iPad for surfing, gaming, consuming media, and are those likely to be clumsy enough or reckless enough to drop their iPad. There will be much more glare than the non-laminated screen but the screen will be much much cheaper to repair since the glass is not fused to the screen. If you break an iPad with a laminated screen, you will be spending much more to repair it.
As far as the iPad 10th gen iPad supporting the 1st gen Apple Pencil, I totally get it. You don’t buy an iPad 10th gen unless you are on a budget whether it’s for use in a Kiosk, or restaurant as a menu or point of sale device, or in a school or factory and the 1st gen Apple Pencil is cheaper. In families the younger members probably inherit the 1st Gen Apple Pencils when older members upgrade to devices using 2nd generation Apple Pencils. There are probably already a ton of 1st generation Apple Pencils out there and offering a new iPad that continues to support it really just makes sense especially to attract people on a budget.
As far as the dongle/cable situation is concerned. I personally very much prefer to have that scenario than to have the Apple Pencil sticking directly out of my iPad when I try to continue to use it while I wait for the Apple Pencil to charge because it feels more awkward to me than holding it with a cable sticking out of it as I already do when I use my iPad while my iPad itself is charging.
Small gap, no gap, you say potato, I say potaaaato.
Mind the gap.
No matter how you pronounce potato doesn’t change the fact that it will be more expensive to repair a laminated screen and that alone may nudge those on a budget to choose the entry level iPad.
The 10th gen ipad isnt really a budget ipad considering the price.
@@eyhtwozed2606 It's perhaps for those with a higher budget than most but it is still a budget iPad compared to getting an iPad Air or iPad Pro. Also, this is cheaper in some cases for those with a need for an iPad AND a "laptop". The question is what your budget is. There are also plenty of second hand iPads out there for those with a lower budget.
The non-laminated screen is attractive for those who are at a higher risk of screen breakage (families with toddlers and young kids, restaurants, factories, etc.) And the cost to replacing a non-laminated iPad screen is much much cheaper than the cost to replace a laminated screen.
iPad Air 5th Gen 256gb 100%!!!
What was the paper like screen protector you use?
actually the iPad Air 4 refurbished vs 10th gen is the closer comparison
No one seems to be talking about the proper support for an external monitor that comes with all m1 iPads. That’s the largest reason for me to have bought the iPad Air 5
If no one’s talking about something… there’s usually a reason 😉
The external monitor full screen support for the M1 / M2 iPads is a pretty big deal. I think it will get more coverage once it is out for public beta and release at iPad OS 16.2. It currently is on 16.2.1 developer beta only, but it’s pretty good. It’s currently a bit buggy but will be a nice addition when using the iPad with a desktop setup and external monitor or when connected to a projector for presentations. Getting rid of the black bars is pretty significant. That feature (and the M1) along with a better 12M camera, faster USB-C, and 5G support make the 5th gen Air a better deal than the 4th gen, though the 4th gen is still a good device.
Can i still use this as a secondary screen, on my mac?
Could it be because of having access to use the pen while charging the reason why they changed up the charging technique??
sooo can i use an iPad 10 case on my iPad air5?? they don't make the one I want for the air but they are so close can it work???
