⭐️ Buy the iPad 8: geni.us/VEgzlHT (affiliate) ⭐️ Buy the iPad Air 4: geni.us/6qUSg (affiliate) What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison between the ipad 8 and the iPad Air 4 was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about. I am grateful in advance 🙏
After watching a few of your videos, I have finally subscribed. I like how you explain real life scenario when comparing devices. Other reviewers on TH-cam only talk about the spec differences only. Which does not help when deciding on which device to buy.
@Eduardo De la Jara First, (if you still need help) what’s your budget at? Because if it’s tight the IPad mini 5 is an option, still very capable of a lot of things
Tech Gear Talk, the links u put just got to Amazon iPad cases and screen protectors, not that actual iPad, also I picked up the 8 cause of the price and might pick up the Logitech combo touch too! Thanks
Yes. Finally found a video where features compared and explained a bit more. Like the fact that the iPad Air has usb-c and what this means in terms of versatility.
Literally was parked in store yesterday bouncing between the two.....ended up stumping the extra cash and going with the air. The drawing experience on the air was just a lot better. Could’ve bought an 8, a case and a pencil, but I’ve thought stuff it, get the one you really want and save for the rest.
I just ordered the ipad 8 with the apple pencil twenty minutes ago. It took a long time to save up for it since I am only a kid. I originally was saving for the ipad 7 when it came out but i didn't have enough until this year. It arrives in February so i wont get it for a while
I love how you saved up for your very own iPad. That takes a lot of patience and self-discipline -- good for you! You'll enjoy it and value it more, having saved up for it. Good job -- I don't know you, but I'm proud of you! Even though you are a "kid," you have things to teach a lot of adults! 👍
Why aren't more kids like you? The tech you can get at the entry level with Apple is quite amazing actually. Also, mum I’m fine with the 2020 se over the 12 mini.
Your parents must be very proud of you. Your attitude is so gracious. It’s truly an amazing quality. Never lose that, it will take you a long way in life. I can honestly say I hope my children are the same way. Wonderful kid❤️.
@@adrianvorkaaa3534 I'm surprised a lot of people don't know this but there's an adapter that comes in the box with the Apple Pencil. It's right next where the extra tip is.
I have been using my ipad 8th generation with 128gb and with the smart slim folio keyboard and the Apple Pencil so I’m extremely satisfied it’s a great laptop replacement for the price I can type essays or take digital notes for history and math class
i’ve been stuck between the 8 (128gb) and air (64gb) for about a week and i think i’ve finally decided. i’m going to get the 8 since i’m mainly going to be using it for procreate and note taking. i can get the pencil, a case, and screen protector with the leftover money as well as not have to worry about low storage for awhile :) thank you so much for the informative video!
@@friesistherealdeal3299 not at all! believe me i was also tempted by the pretty colors and screen size for the air but i absolutely love the 8! this is my first ever ipad so i don’t have experience with any other tablets but i don’t regret it one bit! since i’m using it for art and notes i thought i would struggle with the non laminated display but i got used to it so fast that it doesn’t bother me at all. not only does it fit my needs perfectly but i also saved myself some money :) hope my opinion helped you decide!
I've been using my new iPad 8 for about a month now, and I absolutely love it. I was lucky enough to get an Apple keyboard given to me, and it's just been a joy to use with minute taking for meetings and writing articles. I like how smooth it is to navigate from one app to another and to scroll. I'm glad I went with a more budget-friendly option compared to the more expensive iPads.
Your video actually convinced me to buy iPad 8, I was considering iPad 8, iPad air 3, or iPad air 4. I only gonna use it for note taking, drawing and edit simple video. So actually my concern is the difference between non laminated display and ram size, other specs does’t really matter. But I just can’t seems to justify the difference of $100 for laminated display on iPad air 3 and I only get 64GB (it has 3 gb ram too), and even if I got extra ram for iPad air 4 that will give more layers on procreate, I think it’s better if I want to upgrade later to iPad pro (6gb ram) if I think it was really necessary. Moreover you need to buy 2nd gen apple pencil that were more expensive so it’ll cost $250 more than iPad 8 128 gb plus apple pencil gen 1. So iPad 8 it is. I have it for a week and i love it! It’s definitely help me lineart than my huion pen tablet, the air gap is a little bit hard to adjust at first but it’s definitely tolerable and now I can predict where my lines drawn. Oh and it still have earphone jack which I prefer since I always forgot to charge my Bluetooth earphone, so I never really use it even if I have it lol.
Im currently struggling choosing between the two. Im abit nerdy and techy so i am somewhat wary about what il get with each device and am also thinking about the future proofing each device has...I can stretch to buy the air 4 without breaking the bank(it will dent my wallet for this month though) and i want to buy something solid as i will keep whichever ipad i buy a very loong time. It will be my first ipad. Obviously the 8 is attractive but then I think of all the extras il get for an extra 200usd with the air 4: * 64 base storage * Apple pencil 2 * Double tap apple pencil 2 to enable eraser(seems small but it one of those conviniences that quickly become essential as you use them sort of like headphones with auto device switching for audio) * Apple pencil magnetic attaches to ipad and always charged together with ipad so theoretically you dont have to think about recharging your apple pencil or finding a way to keep it together with the ipad * A14(probably better ipados 15 support for new features) so better performance * Longer software support * Laminated display * Updated design with uniform bezels * Thinner lighter design * Bigger display in relatively same size chassis as iPad 8 * Usb c for future proofing and better transfer speeds and more accessories * Better stereo set up for the speakers * Basically same great battery life with bigger display Its a very compelling purchase over the 8. Maybe im just experiencing buyers remorse for buying an expensive item before i have actually bought it. But im really leaning towards the air 4
Very good comparison, and you seem very honest and sincere. Also you don’t feel the need to express your personality and/or a certain attitude more than the info you are telling about a product - and that my friend is just GOLD and quite frankly rare on TH-cam (or anywhere). I just subscribed. The easiest decision I have made in a long time.
I chose the IPad 4 and right away noticed it’s a bit faster downloading content . Awesome review I love the amount of detail you invest in your videos.
Thanks for your videos! I've really liked your channel, I was searching for iPad 8 videos and thanks to your videos I decided to buy iPad 8. Now, I'm writing this on iPad :)
I was buying an iPad for school during black friday and I am so glad I chose the iPad air, especially because it uses USB-C, the pencil design is more innovative, and the camera. The USB-C option was crucial for me because my laptop and phone both use it so I'm able to swap chargers between my devices, which is super convenient for me.
I am using iPad Pro 2018 and in my usage I can say apples implementation of usb c is not as robust as I expected , I think it will be the same case of iPad Air 4. Honestly speaking my Android LG phone uses the usbc port much better than iPad example full screen display when connected to big screen, support for DisplayPort . Basically what I am saying is don’t expect usbc on iPad to work in a similar way that usbc works on other devices. Lightning might be okay for now. Also usbc headphone sound horrible on iPad for some reason on iPads. Finally a14 processor with no pro-motion really limits the capabilities of the iPad Air 4. This is a great review and the production quality is outstanding!
Re: Apple Pencil Gen 1. if you don’t need the pencil for drawing I highly recommend the Apple Pencil alternatives that charge via something other than lightning .
iPad Air 4 is my choice. Both me and my wife had the iPad Air first generation on release. It’s time for an upgrade but both are going to our grandchildren when we get the air4. That’s a lot of use! X
Main reasons i want an ipad.... 1: drawing 2: youtube/netflix 3.note-taking Here is the thing. My school isnt one where people take ipads to school so thats why i wanna use it just for studying. (I re-write lessons when i study thats how i learn better) and also probably going to use it on collage
I currently have the iPad 6th Generation(32GB, LTE/Wi-Fi Model), and I plan on upgrading to the iPad Air 4th Generation(64GB, LTE/Wi-Fi Model), it’s going to be a HUGE Upgrade!!
Nice! I'm planning to get my first ipad 10.2 / 8 %^^^^^^ j dont want to throw money I dont have on something bigger, ngl I'm kinda scared, but I still feel the urge to try
Me watching this with the iPad Air 4 that I got for school and I was so scared that did I buy the wiring one but nope I bought the good one. This is a really good video good job
I mainly used my 1st gen ipad air for reading books and I've now progressed to marking highlighting and taking notes. I wanted to upgrade and was really confused. Thanks to your video i could make a decision to buy ipad air 4 owing to better future prospects. Thanks a lot. Gobbling up rest of the ipad air 4 content on your channel now!
No one buys an iPad or any tablet for computational horsepower. You make valid points here and honestly it comes down to the same thing we each know the response to: what is the most you can afford for this purchase and pair that with what are you gaining from this product: pleasureful downtime via media consumption, shopping? Or added option to have a more mobile workflow that you are so passionate about. Watch a few reviewers you trust and don't kid yourself into a definitive deficit.
Thanks, great comparison. Pretty much got this info from your previous videos of each, but nice to see it all in one video. Currently have the Ipad 8, it's a secondary tablet that I just use for surfing so as you've said, it fits my needs since I have a desktop for other computer needs.
Good information. I've had my iPad 7th gen 32 gb for almost a year and already need more storage. I'm investing in the iPad Air 256 gb since there is a small sell on amazon. After watching this, I'm feeling good about my purchase.
First I bought iPad 8 because it’s cheaper, but my heart it’s in IPad Air 4, so decided to exchange it, For adding less than $200 I’m super happy, priceless❤️it! Thanks for your awesome video.
Excellent comparison video, thanks. One of the few comparison videos where I my final decision was easy and clear at the end instead of me being more confused than ever! I still use the original iPad Air (shock horror I know), so looking forward to the upgrade which will be appreciate more by people like me. From this video I choose iPad Air 4 but will watch the iPad Air 4 vs iPad Pro (though not the iPad Pro 2020 as most people don't think it's worth the price tag for the minimal upgrade). Since this will be a long term investment for me I now need to decide between the iPad Air 4 vs the iPad Pro (? model). What about doing a comparison video on all the iPad Pro models? Just a thought.
Thanks, I really wanted the air 4, however...with school and work, I will need to go with the 8th generation. I'm on a budget, but your review was legit! Thanks so much for helping me choose the proper iPad for my needs. Once I finish school, my graduation gift will be yes, you guessed it. Thanks, again!✌
I Just ordered the most recent Mac Book off Apple, I also want to buy a iPad but i have no idea if i should get the iPad 8 or iPad air 4. my heart says go with iPad 8 (because i will have the Mac book)but i love the look of the Air.
I just bought the iPad Air 4 and have the iPad mini 5. Both 256gb. I plan on using the mini for when I am at home watching tv and travel. I was debating between the Air and the Pro so I can use it at work instead of using my laptop. I came to the conclusion that the Air has the fingerprint reader and the Pro would be annoying with face id. My job gave us the 8th iPad for Christmas so I just gave it away as a Christmas gift.
I used ipad 8 128g for abt 6 months and sold it to buy an air 4 64g. The difference is quite obvious . I like air 4 design , display and light weight , also it does feel a bit faster . Ipad 8 is a solid device , and it's really wallet friendly , but it is ultimately a students targeted budget ipad.
I really like that you do your best at explaining with clarity and that you get right to the point. I have subscribed to your channel because of that. Great information. Thanks
You comparing your Ipad Air 2, that was amazing. I'm exactly on that spot, I'm planning to jump to the Ipad Air 4 from the Air 2... yes because of this wonderful comparison video. Keep the great job!
I currently have an IPad mini 4 and I’ve been wanting to upgrade for a while now. I draw a lot but I’m also on a budget. I do want a better experience when I’m drawing so the iPad Air seems better but man it’s gonna break the bank lol
this was so useful! I've watched tons of vides and yours is really clear, your explaining everything smoothly and it's really easy to follow, even for a foreigner like me ahah- anyways thank you so much!! I was also so anxious about choosing between the two because the 4 is so expensive to me, but you cleared my mind and now I'm "in peace" ahah, thank you again and have a nice day!
I finally got it... I've been trying to figure this out for a month now.. You remind me of ray romano and his bother robert from Everyone Loves Ray. Youre like a mix of them too.
I only could afford the iPad 8th gen. 32 Gb, and yes the lack of storage is a pain. But besides that, I couldn’t be happier. It’s been a beautiful experience being my first Apple tablet. The capabilities are fantastic! I just have to deal with unloading files every once in a while to a USB stick. I’m learning photo editing with Pixelmator Pro and writing some life experiences with Notability. Got a Logitech Crayon pencil and a few accessories also. A case is a must to preserve it beauty. As soon as I can get me an iPad Air, this one goes to my 11 y/o daughter. Great video!
Hi Tech Gear, thank you for your video! I am deciding between the air and the 8 because the price difference here in Brazil is huge. I already have a MacBook Pro for heavy tasks and I want an Ipad for light tasks, such as web browsing, watching videos, reading e-mails and news, and also as a second screen for my MacBook. I don't care for design, camera, sound, gaming and apple pencil (a children draws better than me hehe), so I guess the iPad 8 fits all my needs (even the entry version of 32GB). The USB-C thing is not a big deal for me as I am already used to apple "dongle" ecosystem. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. It’s super helpful although I’m still stuck between the two. If the iPad 8 had Apple Pencil 2 support, I would hands down be convinced on the iPad 8. I feel that the Apple Pencil 1 is already an antiquated design because of the charging features. Because of this, I am leaning towards the iPad Air 4, but I’m hesitant because it’s above my price point. But as you suggest in the video, I’m also thinking about the future because I have a 5 year old think pad laptop that may need to be retired in a year or two and so having an iPad Air 4 to replace it in the future interim may be ideal for me in the long run.....just thinking out loud.... This video is definitely getting me closer to making my choice. Thanks again for the quality content! Happy New Year!
Glad I could help nudge you closer to a decision. Sounds like you think the Air 4 is the better choice - but I’d it’s truly above your price point than I would probably remove it as an option. The question then is - do you need a new device right now? Or can you save up for the air 4? Appreciate you being part of the community 🙏🏻
Yes you did well I appreciate a video that is well spoken and gives lots of detail it's distracting trying to learn something new when you can't understand the reviewer. Also most people don't put enough thought into details to mention.
I bought ipad air 4 for my class online (google meet),yes ipad help me and good, i can draw and edit some pdf when sharing screen but i cannot see my student video. Not same like use laptop.
Watching this on my i Pad 8 and i am really happy it arrived yesterday i using it for school and a Little Bit for drawing but i have to wait for my Apple Pencil
@@yung_Yami19 is it enough for me if i use ipad for on-line classes ,for digital art on procreate(1-2 drawing per day at most , no saving) ,for video editing in video leap(5-10 mins each video) and sometimes 30 mins of pubg game ?
you are gonna be using this pad for a long time. spend that extra money and get the Ipad Air. there is no sense in scrimping when it comes to something you likely will use every day for all kinds of purposes from education to entertainment.
I was originally thinking of buying the I pad 8 but after research and loooonggg thought sessions I decided to buy the air 4. It's better for my needs and I'm excited to get itttttt hehe
I currently have the ipad 8 and it performs excellently but i'm disliking the unlaminated display more and more each day. It looks ugly to me now, especially on a white-bezzled one, like mine. I'm contemplating on selling it and get either the ipad air 4 or the pro 11 2020. The Air 4 might be the smarter choice but the Pro one is hard to ignore. It excels in lots of aspect.the quad-speakers alone blew me away. Hard choice.
So glad I found this helpful review, so informative and from such a positive person! I need an iPad mostly for digital art and your review is actually more informative and helpful than most artists reviews I've seen! Thank you!
Currently own ipad air 2..... My digitizer needs replacing 😣...... Rather upgrade to the latest Will use for documents, photos, video...... Thank you again, made my choice easier.
This is really helpful in helping me decide which to choose (for the upcoming release). Thank you so much. This is my first time watching your video, I've clicked on the subscribe button. :D
Let’s be honest, if they were the same price we’d all be sitting in front of an iPad Air right now. That being said, the 8 is amazing value for money, not just for “an apple product” but for any device.
U are wrong. It good just for studies and strictly no games because I had mine for 3 months now and it’s sucks for games. I had the air 4 for last 2 months (my brother’s) and it’s way better for studies and all games run smoothly. It’s definitely worth the extra buck for air 4.
@@Rivals-jo4ns what games are you referring to, because mine runs absolutely everything I've thrown at it. I installed Pascal's Wager the other day, it's fine

* 64 base storage
* Apple pencil 2
* Double tap apple pencil 2 to enable eraser(seems small but it one of those conviniences that quickly become essential as you use them sort of like headphones with auto device switching for audio)
* Apple pencil magnetic attaches to ipad and always charged together with ipad so theoretically you dont have to think about recharging your apple pencil or finding a way to keep it together with the ipad
* A14(probably better ipados 15 support for new features) so better performance
* Longer software support
* Laminated display
* Updated design with uniform bezels
* Thinner lighter design
* Bigger display in relatively same size chassis as iPad 8
* Usb c for future proofing and better transfer speeds and more accessories
* Better stereo set up for the speakers
* Basically same great battery life with bigger display
Its a very compelling purchase over the 8. Maybe im just experiencing buyers remorse for buying an expensive item before i have actually bought it. But im really leaning towards the air 4

Appreciate all the input.
@@TechGearTalk you are welcome , and thanks for
Your awesome work!
NEW SUBSCRIBER!! After MONTHS of going back and forth and originally wanting the iPad Mini, I ordered the 128 GB 💛iPad Gold today!!
iPad Air 4 is my choice. Both me and my wife had the iPad Air first generation on release. It’s time for an upgrade but both are going to our grandchildren when we get the air4. That’s a lot of use! X
Gold work by you both David! Keep those devices going 💪🏻
Me my ipad air 2 upgraded to ipad air 4
Wow what a great in-depth comparison. One of the best tech videos I've ever seen
So glad you liked it. Thanks so much for the kind words and for being part of the channel!
Thank you so much, amazing review. I went for the Air 4, should be getting it today. Love your channel and FANTASTIC guide!
How is it?
Absolute best review I’ve ever watched! On point and consideration for all types of users.
Wonderful!
One to one comparison. That's the comparison I wanted.
Thank you!!
Glad I could help Vinod! Thanks for being part of the channel!
Main reasons i want an ipad....
1: drawing
2: youtube/netflix
3.note-taking
Here is the thing. My school isnt one where people take ipads to school so thats why i wanna use it just for studying. (I re-write lessons when i study thats how i learn better) and also probably going to use it on collage
And AMV
Watch my channel video
Best comparison I’ve seen and great point about the screen replacement costs. Thanks 👍
Top quality content and clear speaking. As always :-) You should be an example for tech reviewers.
Wow, thanks! Appreciate your continued support!
Awesome review. I’m happy with my newly purchased iPad 8th gen 😁

Appreciate the clear comparison and the video production quality too. A true expert. Subscribed!
I currently have the iPad 6th Generation(32GB, LTE/Wi-Fi Model), and I plan on upgrading to the iPad Air 4th Generation(64GB, LTE/Wi-Fi Model), it’s going to be a HUGE Upgrade!!
Nice! I'm planning to get my first ipad 10.2 / 8 %^^^^^^ j dont want to throw money I dont have on something bigger, ngl I'm kinda scared, but I still feel the urge to try
Me watching this with the iPad Air 4 that I got for school and I was so scared that did I buy the wiring one but nope I bought the good one. This is a really good video good job
Thank you for actually telling me how much Ram they have! Haven’t been able to find that answer until your video!
I mainly used my 1st gen ipad air for reading books and I've now progressed to marking highlighting and taking notes. I wanted to upgrade and was really confused. Thanks to your video i could make a decision to buy ipad air 4 owing to better future prospects. Thanks a lot. Gobbling up rest of the ipad air 4 content on your channel now!
Watching on my iPad Air 4!!! Thanks for helping out!
CONGRATS!!! Glad I was able to help.
No one buys an iPad or any tablet for computational horsepower. You make valid points here and honestly it comes down to the same thing we each know the response to: what is the most you can afford for this purchase and pair that with what are you gaining from this product: pleasureful downtime via media consumption, shopping? Or added option to have a more mobile workflow that you are so passionate about. Watch a few reviewers you trust and don't kid yourself into a definitive deficit.
Thanks, great comparison. Pretty much got this info from your previous videos of each, but nice to see it all in one video. Currently have the Ipad 8, it's a secondary tablet that I just use for surfing so as you've said, it fits my needs since I have a desktop for other computer needs.
I’m so happy to see people buying what they need and not just spending money. Appreciate the feedback!
Good information. I've had my iPad 7th gen 32 gb for almost a year and already need more storage. I'm investing in the iPad Air 256 gb since there is a small sell on amazon. After watching this, I'm feeling good about my purchase.
I think a more interesting comparison would be Apple vs Samsung ,especially where price is involved ? Perhaps next time ?
I need to get some Samsung gear in.
Tech Gear Talk do an s6 vs s6 lite review
do people actually buy samsung tablets?
@@davidperrii yes, Most people are not "Fan Boys". Or do not care to spend $1000 on a tablet and keyboard.
@@timothykieper oof what a rare breed
First I bought iPad 8 because it’s cheaper, but my heart it’s in IPad Air 4, so decided to exchange it, For adding less than $200 I’m super happy, priceless❤️it! Thanks for your awesome video.
Excellent comparison video, thanks. One of the few comparison videos where I my final decision was easy and clear at the end instead of me being more confused than ever! I still use the original iPad Air (shock horror I know), so looking forward to the upgrade which will be appreciate more by people like me.
From this video I choose iPad Air 4 but will watch the iPad Air 4 vs iPad Pro (though not the iPad Pro 2020 as most people don't think it's worth the price tag for the minimal upgrade). Since this will be a long term investment for me I now need to decide between the iPad Air 4 vs the iPad Pro (? model). What about doing a comparison video on all the iPad Pro models? Just a thought.
In my country the entry level ipad costs almost as much as the ipad air,damn, it's around 530 here :')
Thanks, I really wanted the air 4, however...with school and work, I will need to go with the 8th generation.
I'm on a budget, but your review was legit!
Thanks so much for helping me choose the proper iPad for my needs. Once I finish school, my graduation gift will be yes, you guessed it.
Thanks, again!✌
So glad I could help Freddie. Good luck with school. Thank you for being part of the channel!
omg this was the best comparison so far,just needed this to decide,thank you so much
Glad I could help. Thank you for being part of the channel!
I Just ordered the most recent Mac Book off Apple, I also want to buy a iPad but i have no idea if i should get the iPad 8 or iPad air 4. my heart says go with iPad 8 (because i will have the Mac book)but i love the look of the Air.
CONGRATS! I would get the iPad you want - if you can afford it - you'll have it for years.
I just bought the iPad Air 4 and have the iPad mini 5. Both 256gb. I plan on using the mini for when I am at home watching tv and travel. I was debating between the Air and the Pro so I can use it at work instead of using my laptop. I came to the conclusion that the Air has the fingerprint reader and the Pro would be annoying with face id. My job gave us the 8th iPad for Christmas so I just gave it away as a Christmas gift.
Face ID is awesome.
I used ipad 8 128g for abt 6 months and sold it to buy an air 4 64g. The difference is quite obvious . I like air 4 design , display and light weight , also it does feel a bit faster . Ipad 8 is a solid device , and it's really wallet friendly , but it is ultimately a students targeted budget ipad.
What a great reviewer. Subbed. Speaks clearly. Knows his stuff and sounds pleasant to the ear.
I’m so grateful foe the kind words and support. Welcome to the channel 👍🏻
@@TechGearTalk Thank you sir. Cheers mate. Stay safe and keep these great reviews coming!
I really like that you do your best at explaining with clarity and that you get right to the point. I have subscribed to your channel because of that. Great information. Thanks
You comparing your Ipad Air 2, that was amazing. I'm exactly on that spot, I'm planning to jump to the Ipad Air 4 from the Air 2... yes because of this wonderful comparison video. Keep the great job!
But this is a comparison of iPad Air 4 and 8th gen iPad?
I wasn’t really considering the iPad Air
But just looking at the features of the 8th gen helped me a lot
Thanks man!
I brought today ipad gen 8 by watching your videos. Even book few accessories. Thanks 🌹
Me too.. I also bought iPad 8th gen today..
Which storage variant have you brought?
I currently have an IPad mini 4 and I’ve been wanting to upgrade for a while now. I draw a lot but I’m also on a budget. I do want a better experience when I’m drawing so the iPad Air seems better but man it’s gonna break the bank lol
watched a lot of vids doing a similar comparison but this is the most comprehensive,. Well done.
So glad that it was helpful. Thank you for the kind words and foe being part of the channel.
“buy it nice or buy it twice” 👏🏼
Great review! Thank you so much. Thinking of purchasing an iPad 4. I have an iPad Air 3 and I love it.
this was so useful! I've watched tons of vides and yours is really clear, your explaining everything smoothly and it's really easy to follow, even for a foreigner like me ahah- anyways thank you so much!! I was also so anxious about choosing between the two because the 4 is so expensive to me, but you cleared my mind and now I'm "in peace" ahah, thank you again and have a nice day!
What did you go for?
Amazing video, nice review, beautiful set up, wonderful B-rolls... not enough adjectives to describe this extraordinary video! Amazing!!!
I finally got it... I've been trying to figure this out for a month now.. You remind me of ray romano and his bother robert from Everyone Loves Ray. Youre like a mix of them too.
So glad I could help. Thanks for being part of the channel 🙏🏻
I have the iPad Air 4, an Apple Pencil and a Magic Keyboard for school. Strongly recommend :)
Awesome comparison, clear, understandable and to the point. Thank you🤗
Best device comparison I’ve ever seen.
Well done!
I can see Clearly now!
Oh wow - glad to hear it. Thank you for being part of the channel!
The best comparision between these Ipads i have seen ✌
love watching this after buying the ipad air 4
Upgrading from air 2 to air 4
It’s so good
CONGRATS!!!
I only could afford the iPad 8th gen. 32 Gb, and yes the lack of storage is a pain. But besides that, I couldn’t be happier. It’s been a beautiful experience being my first Apple tablet. The capabilities are fantastic! I just have to deal with unloading files every once in a while to a USB stick. I’m learning photo editing with Pixelmator Pro and writing some life experiences with Notability. Got a Logitech Crayon pencil and a few accessories also. A case is a must to preserve it beauty. As soon as I can get me an iPad Air, this one goes to my 11 y/o daughter. Great video!
Thank you so much for sharing Juan. Sounds like a great setup - CONGRATS! Thanks for being part of the channel.
Hi Tech Gear, thank you for your video! I am deciding between the air and the 8 because the price difference here in Brazil is huge. I already have a MacBook Pro for heavy tasks and I want an Ipad for light tasks, such as web browsing, watching videos, reading e-mails and news, and also as a second screen for my MacBook. I don't care for design, camera, sound, gaming and apple pencil (a children draws better than me hehe), so I guess the iPad 8 fits all my needs (even the entry version of 32GB). The USB-C thing is not a big deal for me as I am already used to apple "dongle" ecosystem. Thank you!
I have a iPad chase that when I miss on the Touch ID it just slides into the right spot🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much for this video. It’s super helpful although I’m still stuck between the two. If the iPad 8 had Apple Pencil 2 support, I would hands down be convinced on the iPad 8. I feel that the Apple Pencil 1 is already an antiquated design because of the charging features. Because of this, I am leaning towards the iPad Air 4, but I’m hesitant because it’s above my price point. But as you suggest in the video, I’m also thinking about the future because I have a 5 year old think pad laptop that may need to be retired in a year or two and so having an iPad Air 4 to replace it in the future interim may be ideal for me in the long run.....just thinking out loud.... This video is definitely getting me closer to making my choice. Thanks again for the quality content! Happy New Year!
Glad I could help nudge you closer to a decision. Sounds like you think the Air 4 is the better choice - but I’d it’s truly above your price point than I would probably remove it as an option. The question then is - do you need a new device right now? Or can you save up for the air 4? Appreciate you being part of the community 🙏🏻
This is amazing! I have never seen anyone provide such an in depth review
Hope you enjoyed it. Thank you for being part of the channel!
I’m loving the videos!! Keep up the amazing work dude
Thanks so much - thanks for being part of the channel!
Yes you did well I appreciate a video that is well spoken and gives lots of detail it's distracting trying to learn something new when you can't understand the reviewer. Also most people don't put enough thought into details to mention.
I bought ipad air 4 for my class online (google meet),yes ipad help me and good, i can draw and edit some pdf when sharing screen but i cannot see my student video. Not same like use laptop.
Good point - zoom and other video calls are more limited than with a desktop/laptop

spare some money 🙁🙏
thank you for being so informative i like all the things you pointed out
you are gonna be using this pad for a long time.
spend that extra money and get the Ipad Air.
there is no sense in scrimping when it comes to something you likely will use every day for all kinds of purposes from education to entertainment.
That really makes sense 😭but my poor pocket. 😤

I was originally thinking of buying the I pad 8 but after research and loooonggg thought sessions I decided to buy the air 4. It's better for my needs and I'm excited to get itttttt hehe
I currently have the ipad 8 and it performs excellently but i'm disliking the unlaminated display more and more each day. It looks ugly to me now, especially on a white-bezzled one, like mine. I'm contemplating on selling it and get either the ipad air 4 or the pro 11 2020. The Air 4 might be the smarter choice but the Pro one is hard to ignore. It excels in lots of aspect.the quad-speakers alone blew me away. Hard choice.
Go for the Air 4 with the Logitech keyboard for a total of $759.
Those speakers are great and promotion is nice too.
Im waiting for ipad 9. Heard it's laminated🙄
@@sakuchan6078 that's too long to wait 😅

This is really helpful in helping me decide which to choose (for the upcoming release). Thank you so much. This is my first time watching your video, I've clicked on the subscribe button. :D
Let’s be honest, if they were the same price we’d all be sitting in front of an iPad Air right now. That being said, the 8 is amazing value for money, not just for “an apple product” but for any device.
You are right bro I am agree with you
U are wrong. It good just for studies and strictly no games because I had mine for 3 months now and it’s sucks for games. I had the air 4 for last 2 months (my brother’s) and it’s way better for studies and all games run smoothly. It’s definitely worth the extra buck for air 4.
@@Rivals-jo4ns what games are you referring to, because mine runs absolutely everything I've thrown at it. I installed Pascal's Wager the other day, it's fine
