iPad 10th gen vs iPad Air - An Easy Choice!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 พ.ค. 2024
- After 4 years, the contemporary iPad lineup all looks fairly homogeneous, with the iPad 10th generation (2022), iPad Air (2022) and iPad Pro M2 sporting relatively the same design language, lack of home button and slab/tab look introduced with the 3rd generation iPad Pros back in 2018. This is why now more than ever, it's important to differentiate each model, specifically the iPad 10th gen and iPad Air 4th and 5th generations. In this video I compare the new, "regular" or baseline iPad to the current generation Air and 2020 Air in order to help you decide which variant will give you the best bang for your buck!

I ordered the 10 because I couldn't care less about the pencil debacle. I LOVE that it has a usb-c port now and the horizontal front cam. Adapters are cheap.
That’s what I did. Many of the “gripes” on the internet are irrelevant to me.
@Luis From spaceforce - I think it was a budget consideration more than anything for me. I had an iPad Air 2, so I was due for an upgrade, I just didn’t need anything special as I just use it casually.
@@doplinger1 I was able to get my iPad Air 4, Apple Pencil 2, and Apple keyboard case all for 430 from buying second hand. I really can’t tell the difference between my air 4 and my gf’s air 5. Also the iPad look almost brand new so it was the best choice for me.
@@doplinger1 I upgraded from my air 3. It is a great upgrade and I got the 64 gb version. A cheap hub + usb drive are much cheap than apples upgrade.
Just got the 10th gen could care less about the pencil
I’ve been using the iPad Air 5 for 9 days now and so far it’s amazing….i just love the quality and the speed and how easy i can do my school work and art. It is very suitable for people who want to use it instead of a laptop and i love everything about it I really recommend it and i hope to see more iPads like this.
Hey, would you say 64GB are enough, or should I take one with 256GB? Unfortunately 128GB is not an option for the IPad Air.
@@VictormitcI’ve been using my IPad Air 5 for nearly a year and 64 gb has been plenty! I have lots of games and use it to download Netflix shows and it hasn’t reached half capacity yet. I’d recommend you to get an SSD storage if you need more rather than getting more internal storage
@@Buster18 Okay, I'll take the cheaper option then. Thank you very much! Since you've been using it for a while, how well does the battery last? Does it last a day without charging?
@@Victormitc it lasts me a day, I use it non stop, watch yt and stuff in morning at like 7 then do all school on it 9-4 then am on it rest of day til 10 ish and then put it on charge. It’s incredible
@@Buster18 Okay, that sound great. Thanks a lot for your answers!
Thank you for you comprehensive evaluation about the Magic Keys and iPad as I want to buy an upgrade and it has given me more insight on what to do.
I am one, maybe the only one, that is not bothered at all with using the first pencil. For the amount of times I actually use it, it sure doesn’t call for an upgrade. I just wish the new iPad started at more than 64gb.
I purchased the IPad 10th generation and honestly it’s a great device. You can always get a 3rd party stylus and keyboard folio with touchpad. Both accessories for me cost around $42 on Amazon and both work amazingly with my IPad.
But isnt the keyboard folio much more expensive? Logitech over 100€ and Apple original over 300€!
@@harrison00xXx it’s always dependent on the name brand as well.
@@harrison00xXx they have “offbrand” versions with good reviews on amazon. I usually go that route except for something like the apple pencil when it comes to cases and accessories
@@itsuplike9947 well i prefer a good old apple bluetooth keyboard and a basic magnetic case, much cheaper, yet high quality and for my usecase at least much more convenient
But there is sadly no option except the apple pencil if you want to enjoy wireless charging and pairing as well all the features (pressure sensitivity is a must have!)
Hey willie ! can you post the link>?
Very good video Noah. I agree they really screwed up with the Apple pencil first generation. I loved the pink but couldn't handle the screen but mostly the pencil.
Just in case nobody knows, you can use the iPad just fine without a pencil, you can use any “tech” stylus that is made for touch screens, and in my experience I can write notes just fine on my iPad 10, great way to save $100
Yes only procreate for drawing...
i just got the 10 and i love it, i am more of a tech guy so i was worried about stuff like the 2nd gen pencil and the M1 chip in the air but honestly the 10 is amazing
Still both are amazing advantages!
The M1 is just blazing fast for anything and futureproof enough to enjoy the iPad for 5+ years and the directly charged Pencil might be nice, but i have it mostly at my desk in deep standby mode and 40-80% charge level since i dont need the pencil that often.
I know a friend who killed 3 pencils in 2 years. Always left it at the iPad charged (as intended…), always the battery just died and he could not use the pencil longer than 30 minutes without recharging which is a BIG NO GO for a 150€ pencil.
@@harrison00xXx I don't understand what your friend did to destroy that pencil. I want to avoid that mistake
I happened to get a refurbished IPad Air 4 and this video reinforced my decision that it was the right choice. I mostly stream videos & music but I also use it to type long emails, edit some photos, or create flyers. The small things like the laminated display, the 2nd gen Apple Pencil, and faster transfer speeds all add to that better quality of life.
How was the refurbished
is refurbished good ? i am scared to get refurbished
@@gurnoorsingh7469 depends
@@cammayburrell8117 It's been good. I did notice some small dings and surface level blemishes but they don't detract from the overall experience.
I was able to get my iPad Air 4, Apple Pencil 2, and Apple keyboard case all for 430 from buying second hand. I really can’t tell the difference between my air 4 and my gf’s air 5. I recommend looking into the used market for iPads.
We just ordered the air (really wanted the cheaper option) because of the usb c port ease of connection to the audio equipment we use and the drawing capabilities for our soon to come children’s channel!
Got the 10th generation yellow and I love it
Very helpful. Thanks 🙏🏻
Great video! Thank you! A year later $350 now for the 10. I went for it. Casual user. I'm PC guy but gotta facetime with the grand daughter. My Ipad 2 with busted up screen wasn't cutting it.
i love the new colors and lower price, but i use the pencil way too often to bother with the adapter/cable situation. nothing i do pushes the M1 chip at all, but it should ensure the air 5 lasts a long time and runs everything smoothly 🔥
Helpful review gave me clear guidance on trading my ipad 7th gen for the iPad Air 4. Still not clear why they bought the 10th gen in at this price so close to the air 4
Please make video on Battery drain test between them and include speed test also
As an early buyer of the first generation of the Apple Pencil, you can imagine how teed off I was when Apple very quickly brought out the 2nd gen. Pencil.
Thank you Sir! 😀
I am looking to start saving for an ipad and I wanted to look for a goal. I am now going to start saving for the ipad 10th generation as I think that the screen repair being cheaper is a very important thing, also £170 is a big price gap between them both. I could go on with more reasons but i will leave it at this. I also personally love the vibrant colours. I do like the ipad air but I think the 10th generation is a better thing to purchase for me.
I like both tablets, but I want something that could last up to 6years. All I really do is play minecraft(with shaders) and watch TH-cam- I also do some animating. What would you recommend?
Me watching on my 5th gen iPad mini: “hmm 🤔”
What if I have the 1st gen pencil? Would you reco ipad 10th + dongle or the air? I’m in master’s and do light video editing 😪 thank you, Noah!
very useful video!
i just bought the 10th gen yesterday. every review i have watched complained about the pencil and keyboard but i don't use either of those. i upgraded from a 5th gen that was nearly a decade old
I just got my Air last week. So far so good, it might even replace my M1 Macbook Air. I still on the fence in getting a Pencil though. I am not into graphic designing anyway, but can you convince to get one? I love the Apple Keyboard btw.
I'm looking at replacing my original Ipad Air, but the 10th gen won't fit in my device holders, I use in an airplane and on my drone controllers so I need to look at the 9.7 size, what do you recommend..
I wish I could get the 10th gen blue on the Air 5... Or blue at all on the Pro, lol. I like colors but don't think just slapping a skin or case on is enough.
I ended up buying an Air 4... It's my first iPad since the iPad 1 I had back in like 2012 for half a year. Looking forward to it, if I like it well enough I might make use of Apple's trade in program towards an Air 5. I feel like that M1 chip is going to quickly become a necessity for compatibility with new apps,
Use a Logitech’ crayon pencil instead of a apple pencils and that also takes care of the dongle for the 10th gen iPad
You also lose a shit ton of features
@@HK-tj1kr doubt it
@@steve9348 pressure sensitivity?
@@HK-tj1kr For illustrators yes, you do lose pressure sensitivity. However for normal students who are just looking to take notes, Crayon is more durable than pencil, better build quality, and no fuss with the weird charging system! Not to mention it has a physical on/off switch to make sure you don’t waste your pencil battery when not in use. Plus, pencil gen 1 is just waiting to lose the cap every single time, you don’t know how many friends of mine complained about losing their pencil cap when charging it.
@@tylerhiew3595 looking to start digital art on an iPad, should I just invest in a regular pencil, or is the crayon a good choice?
Is there a difference in the size of the bezels? I cannot see a noticeable difference when I compare them in the store
I have the Apple Pencil 1 and can’t imagine buying the Apple Pencil 2. So in that case would the ipad 10 work for me? So many reviewers seem to hate it.
the good thing for me abt the 10th gen is that I lost the cap of my apple pencil so I won't really mind having the wire but other people that have it will most likely lose it.
the lack of apple pencil 2 support on the 10 is supposedly because the landscape camera is there. not sure if you already found this out, because this is a year old video but still thought i should mention
Beard looks really good!
Recently purchased the iPad Air 5th generation. Love it and it is my first iPad ever after many years.
My old iPad had 32 Gb of memory and can’t use safari anymore. Cant play any games on it or anything.
This new one is amazing.
What made you decide get the iPad air? Tbh I'm debating what to get between these two because their so different yet so similar i can't choose between them. Especially i keep seeing ipad air is not worth buying especially for it's price....
@@scaramouche672 My use of the iPad will consist of 3D design work and taking notes. I really wanted to use the Apple Pencil 2 because of how it is so easy to set up and use. The Ipad air 5th generation also has better hardware. I like this for longevity and I may actually use that with rendering. I knew that I would use this iPad for years to come and I would mainly be taking notes and drawing so I also opted in for the 256GB model for the extra storage. I really just needed 128GB but this iPad does not come in it.
Another reason is that I was looking to purchase and iPad SOON and near me the 10th Gen's are hard to find in stores at the moment. I looked online and I could easily order pickup the iPad air 5th generation.
I would actually put the iPad 10th gen at the bottom of my list to pick up. Ive seen them in store and I truly hate the air gap. I would put iPads in a ranking like this:
iPad 5th Gen
iPad 4th Gen
iPad 9th Gen
iPad 10th Gen
Also, I really hated the glare on the 10th Gen.
For $100 more, the air gets you an M series processor, much better screen and 2nd gen pen support. No brainer. Or just save the money and get the 9th gen. There are 3rd party pens and keyboards available if needed in future. The price of the 10th gen isn’t the value you get from a bit more from the air.
If you are not getting the iPad air 5th gen I would highly recommend the iPad air 4th gen because it has the same chip as the 10th gen and also looks better aesthetically to me. If I was not doing design work on the iPad and just noted or casual browsing I would definitely find an iPad air 4th Gen.
Lastly the iPad air 5th generation was on sale for a $100 off and the 10th Gen was not.
@@scaramouche672I’m planning to buy air 5 cause its good for gaming and compatible with 2nd gen apple pencil
The iPad Air 4 is brilliant.. I'm not sure I could go to a non-laminated display after using it. Why they don't use the anti-reflective coating across all iPads annoys me. The current (Nov 2023) price difference between the 10th Gen and Air 5 is about £150.. I'm not sure that's worth it for most casual users.
I got the 10th gen in yellow with 256gb storage. The color is gorgeous.
I wish the iPad Air had a "kick stand" case option (like the 20) and a center landscape camera. These would be 2 big upgrades for me.
You can just go to Logitech with a Smart Folio :)
As for the landscape camera, if you only use it for things like video conferencing, just get a separate webcam.
I know the iPad Air makes the most sense, but I'm loving the colors of the iPad 10
I have been contemplating in which one to get --- the ipad 10th gen in 256gb or the ipad air 5 in 64gb. My issue with going with the 10th gen is how long will the A14 chip get software updates. On the other hand, my main issue with the air is the storage. I will mostly use it for uni and download movies from netflix or disney, but i feel the storage wont be enough for me. Although, I really like the M1 chip in the air as I am sure that I will be able to use it until I graduate from uni. Maybe a little help? lol
apple is the best company in making you feel bad for not spending more money on the higher end models (ie. no laminated glass and pencil 1 support in this case)
I want a ipad mini but I also want the ipad Air. I dont know what to get but im mainly gonna use my ipad for watching anime or travelling and future use educational work do you know what ipad i should get? And also should i get the wifi or wifi + cellular?
I'm getting the 10 because I was going for the budget option and for me it was $120 (AUD) cheaper than a used air 4.
I had iPad Air 5... used it for 1 yr and during that time, when I present to my client. It tends to be LAGGY! How many times have I experienced it during presentations via zoom or in person. My goodness, I sold it and bought iPad 10. much better for me compared to Air 5.
I had the iPad Air 4 for a few years and it was amazing I only sold it because I wanted a smaller device for my purposes so I got the mini 6 but I am not really sure the purpose of the 10 because it very close to the mini and I was a little shocked when they announced it.
Well now - months later, the 10 definitely makes a lot more sense
than it did at the time Noah created his usual excellent video.
Because - of course - it’s much cheaper now lol!
I picked up the iPad 10 on eBay for $340 basically brand new.
And since I have other iPads compatible with my first gen pencil
my pencil still works perfectly fine here.
( yea that dongle was a terrible and ridiculous idea -but I’m sure it was just Apple being Apple and figuring how to make a few extra bucks!)
So far I’m happy with it!
The design is sleek and nice - a nice larger version of my mini 6.
It’s faster, has a better screen and much better sound than the 9 or even some of my old pros.
The cameras are also better than any other iPad I’ve ever owned.
And so far it has handled every task,game or app I’ve thrown at it quickly and with no issues.
So I have to say - I’m a big iPad guy who has owned a lot of them
and I’m really not sure why there is such huge negativity around this model.
Pencil 2?
Don’t own it - so it’s no issue lol
Non laminated screen?
I have iPads with both and have never understood why that’s even a big deal.
Non laminated screens are perfectly fine with me.
The main problem was really the price - and that’s not as much of an issue now that you can usually find it much cheaper.
I really think this is a great iPad for most people!
( but definitely do NOT pay $449 for it -
lots of sales and deals out there…)
Same with the Air 5
At least when you get a good (student?) discount.
I paid for the 256GB version about as much as the 64GB version would cost regularily.
Its a good deal since i dont buy the overpriced MagicKeyboard and prefer a lot a good old 2011 Apple BT Keyboard with 2xAA batteries and a basic cover/stand. Especially since i use the iPad a lot as Desktop Setup via USB-C hub (including proper mouse, keyboard, monitor,…) and on the go i rarely need a dedicated keyboard its the perfect, yet somewhat affordable solution.
I mean its crazy when you realize a iPad Air 5 256GB, Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil 2 cost about 1300€, i paid in total (ESR magnetic cover + Pencil 2) about 800€.
Since i have a proper Notebook (16“ M1 Pro Macbook) i cant care less about this MagicKeyboard for the iPad anyways.
What i would really wish for any iPad… a magnetic stand/attachment for the iPad to be used as MacBook screen in portrait position, like this the 11“ Air 5 is about as high in screen size as the 16“ MacBook Pro and it would blend in nearly perfectly.
In landscape mode it feels just like a tiny secondary screen.
good answer, helped me with my doubt, but here in Brazil Ipad 10 is RS 4000 what is $834 there.... its a lot... unfortunately i will have to wait more

Hi Mr Herman...not relevant but need your help man. I want to purchase a soundbar and I have 3 to choose from Samsung hw-650b , Samsung hw-q600b and JBL 2.1 Deep bass soundbar. Please help me man ..
I just did "snag" an iPad Air 4, new, open-box with 256 GB of storage on eBay for $522 with tax & shipping. It hasn't arrived yet. I have never used an Apple product, so I wish I could find a video on making a transition from a Windows Pc or an Android tablet.
I still can’t believe I am typing on an ipad air 2 from 2015 and it still has a better display than the newest released ipad 10
I got my iPad Air 5 few days go and it’s very awesome to have!
I’ve liked iPad Air but I have a question can I go for 64 gb variant and buy iCloud storage monthly or go with more storage ? Let me know guys
i might get the 10 because i do a lot of meetings and the camera is better for that. I don't do drawings and already have the 1st gen pen and don't want to spend money on a 2nd. The refurbished 4 is a better deal but in my case the 10 might actually be better to get. If the price was 399 instead of 450 id be all over it
Yeah bro there is so many discounts on Amazon right now
That Gen 1 pencil with the cable looks like that tool they use at the dentists office. I saw the Gen 2 pencil at Amazon for 89 dollars
The only reasons to pick the iPad 10 over the iPad Air 4 are if you already have a 1st gen Apple Pencil or if the front camera placement in all the other iPads REALLY irks you.
The Air 4 is a discontinued device from 2020.
I wouldn’t pick it. People would rather buy a new 9 than the Air 4. We’re talking new purchases.
I picked the 10 gen I mean apple doesn't sell the air 4 anymore and I'm not buying a refurbished one
Apple refurbished air 4 is literally perfect, and apple actively made the iPad 10 bad on purpose so the air series is higher up on the lineup, the fact that anyone would get the 10 at that price is astounding. Apple refurbished air 4 is 10/10 better

Not including the wireless charging coil into the side of the iPad costs less to manufacture. Even considering the cost of now adding an additional adapter in the box with every new Apple Pencil 1st generation…
It’s because of the camera array.
I’ve never owned an ipad or pen, and even though I’d like ipad 10th because of my budget, it’s probably better I saved a little more for at least air 4, cause then I need to get the 2nd gen pen. So I won’t have to buy a new one when I upgrade
Does the lack of an anti reflective coating make a difference if you’re using a matte screen protector such as paper like?
No.
Bought the 10th Gen and couldnt be happier...Amazon sells an Apple 2 Pencil-like device that has about 90% of the functionality of an Apple Pencil 2 for $25. It is Type-C charged and works perfectly with the iPad...love it!
Pls Name of this alternative ipad10 pencil..
Name plz?
Yeah best value and it will be around for the next 5 years too
Where do you get the wallpapers?
cool videos. I myself, going to replace a 2013 Nuclear Reactor Mac Pro that has video card issues, and going to try an iPad OS as a desktop replacement, battling over a 11' iPad Pro M2 or a M1 based iPad Air 5. I like the extras the iPad Pro offer but $200 more means I could use that $200 towards a magic keyboard and with money tight, the iPad Air may win. I am still waiting to see final prices of all for Black Friday and then will decide.
M2 Pro owner here. I went with the Pro over the Air because longterm, the better battery life, more efficient M2 chip and ProMotion are a better bet. I recommend getting the better iPad first, then save up and get the accessories later.
What did you choose in the end?
@@Victormitc for me.. iPad Air Gen 5 with 256gb. Loving it so far!
@@MacSociety Great to hear that! Do you recommend taking the one with 256GB or can 64 GB be enough?
@@Victormitc Well, can't say this applies for you, but for me, I heard rumors and mumbles that the extended monitor desktop where it is its own workspace and not just a mirror may not work right on the 64GB model so I went 256GB as I needed and wanted that feature, fully. No idea if 64GB has that issue or not. That is why I splurged for more memory and having more won't hurt, as far as I know. haha
For me, the camera placement on the 10th Generation does it for me
Can you connect headphones through the usb-c port?
That is a school kid's mistake. Once you start saying, pay extra for the Air, then you are a hypocrite by not saying, then pay a bit extra for the Pro!
My suggestion is wait for some discounts on the iPad 10 and get that, especially if you do not use the Pencil or keyboard, which is the majority of core users. If your budget is restricted, get the iPad 9. Also, take care who you are buying this for. If it is for a child, then the non-laminated iPad 9/10 are the essential choices as they cost about $15 to repair a broken screen rather than $150 on the Air.
The price confusion is due to the timing of release cycles. When the new iPad Air arrives it will be $700 base and the iPad 10 will be $350. That is when creators will understand what is going on.
Hi I'm a digital artist and plan on also using the ipad for games as well as my art.

@@zeeblu8928 no ipad air 5 is worth it than 10th gen if you are an artist specially the apple pencil is weird in 10 th gen
Just made this exact decision. The 10th generation was $250 less than the air as it’s on sale right now and I got my 5% discount via Target red card. I also have a first generation Apple Pencil. No brainer for me.

Love your videos Noah! But just one question, if you were to recommend the iPad Air 5 at 256 GB, wouldn’t you just want to go to the iPad Pro 11 for $50 more? The better speakers, Face ID and promotion would compel me to do that!
Face ID is a downside for students on an iPad IMO. I have a Pro and having to constantly lift up the iPad from the desk is kind of annoying. Touch ID is much better for working on a desk.
@@whenhen agreed, plus as a student i prefer having more storage because i need lots of storage for school, but i also want storage for other stuff.

is there any real reason to go Air gen 5 over air gen4?
10/10 times, I'd choose an Air 4 over the 10th gen, and here is why: Accessory support. If you buy the Apple Pencil 1 and the proprietary Magic Keyboard folio for the 10, and decide to get an Air or a Pro later, then you'll have to sell those, lose money and buy a Pencil 2 and Magic Keyboard. If you buy an Air 4 and decide to get an Air 5 or Pro later, you can reuse both accessories. Besides, you can find discounts on the Pencil 2 if you wait, and there are plenty of deals to be had for the Magic Keyboard.
The Air 4 is a discontinued device. It has almost no trade in value now being over 2 yrs old. Even if you find it new, the battery has depreciated.
I wouldn’t suggest purchasing one unless you cannot afford the 5 and are in the market for an Air.
@@jmbosquesillo7203facts 😊
Does anyone know if using a screen protector with anti glare help at all on the 10th gen?
With the pencil on the 10th gen, does the cable always have to be connected to the iPad? Can I just sync it up once and then plug the cable into a wall adapter to charge?
I Use Apple Pencil 1gen and bought an adapter only to connect it to the iPad, for now I’m charging my pencil with adapter that is included with it, so you can sync it once and then charge it with your regular lightning cable, also you use the cable only for charging not when you’re using pencil

Hi I'm thinking about buying an ipad 10 for downloading app games. It would be for light gaming. Will the 64 gb be enough memory for my needs or should I opt for the 256 version? Don't want to spend more money for more memory if it's not needed. Also about how many game apps can the 64 gb version store? Thank you
If u wanna play big games then get more storage, but if ur gonna play like those idle games then 64 is fine. If you are thinking of playing genshin and stuff then 128 or bigger storage I would recommend

I don’t know why all these TH-cam reviews that moan about the Apple Pencil charging issue seem to forget that you can charge the Apple Pencil 1st Gen with your iPhone, not need for adaptors and it charges very quickly so no issue for me.
HELP, is the logitech keyboard better than apples?
Ya but how long will they support those old models. One reason I go with the latest version is because the apps become outdated and you can’t use on old iPads
That's not relevant here. The older iPad Airs have an equal to (4th gen) or newer (5th gen) processor than the newest 10th gen iPad.
I have a 6th generation iPad I am now just replacing… the only reason I’m replacing it is because my browser isn’t the best using it. These things do last for quite some time despite the processors getting faster.
literally just in time
Well I have decided to get the iPad Air 5 …. I have the 7th gen base iPad and I need an upgrade…. Also wanna start playing games on iPad… so m1 chip is gonna be a beast for it… and also because my schedule is becoming more haphazard… I want to get the Apple Pencil 2 … I most of the times can’t charge my Apple Pencil 1 properly coz I have to run everywhere… so the magnetic charging is best for me
Just curious does the pencil 1charge via the iphone port?
Yes
So the keyboard has less keys and needs a second generation to get it right but it the better ?
I think that apple could do so much better with the apple pencil compatibiliy with the 10th gen. Some android tablets have a horizontal camera and a pen that magnetically attaches to the top as well.
OK, just cancelled my Ipad Air 5th gen purchase because I just got an insane deal on the 2021 Ipad Pro 11 for $549. 128GB, true motion 120 hz display, face id, M1 processor, ultra wide camera, 4 speakers, thunderbolt support, 600 nits bright display and a few other things I’m leaving out I’m sure but no brainer, way better features and specs than the 2022 Ipad Air all for $250 off. Stoked!
Where did you get that deal??
@@Mo.B88 Black Friday Target. They ran the promo again a couple weeks ago but both times they sold out within a couple hours.
That’s nice. Now back to the actual subject at hand
An iPad costing over $400 should have a laminated display, it’s a disgrace that 10th doesn’t.
I got a 10th gen and I love it so much !! It’s really pretty and it does what I need it to do, the battery isn’t greeeaaatttt so if you do need long lasting I’d think about that but other than that I don’t really have any complaints:) laminated display would have been nice but it is what it is. In regard to the pen I bought a Apple Pencil 1st gen and it will not connect, apparently this is an issue people have been having. I got a laser active stylus to replace it and it’s practically a gen 2 copy cat, plus it magnetises to the side of the iPad
I got a iPad 10th gen to and I also really like it. It was a big upgrade for me since I had the 6th gen. But the battery is amazing watchu talking about. It lasted like 12 hours. U could also use your phone to charge the Apple Pencil btw.
Edit: I use mine for gaming and it last like 5-6 hours so it’s still very good considering gaming.
can you share the link for that stylus you got?
what do you mean the battery isn’t great… huh
@@OfficialRoses maybe he/she has a faulty ipad, the battery lasted the longest in a battery test of every new ipad
My iPad 10th gen last 2.5 days of decent use you got a faulty iPad
Watching using my Air 4
The arguments against the ipad is because it didn’t work with the second gen pencil, the glass is not welded on and more screen reflection. Really? As an average consumer using the iPad for podcasts, TH-cam and music I don’t give a s**t of the glass weld or the reflection. Highly paid reviewers pushing to pay an extra $100 - $150 are obviously not feeling the pain of inflation.
Dumb comment this video in general is just true the iPad Air is actually just better for most ppl and will last longer the price reflects that perfectly
I think we all have different uses for these products. Anti glare is definitely something I’m interested in. For the average user even an older model would do fantastically!
Nobody repairs just the glass on either iPad. They always replace the whole display module.
Main is 4 gb vs 8 gb RAM.. that matters in the long run
It’s not an easy choice sometimes, in my country (Iran) these two iPads have a very significant difference in their prices due to currencies. So if someone wants a big ipad, between these two the 10th gen makes more sense to pick due to price
same here in turkey. i wanted an ipad air but the price difference were drastic. so i got an 10th gen and i am kind of bitter about not getting an air but 10th gen gets the job done😅
Sadly, the 256 air is only 50 less than a 128 gb pro
Regarding the pencil -“Big reason” to buy an Air only if you’re going to be doing that sort of work on it. If you were though, why go less than a 5? The M1 makes a world of difference in creative apps.
That’s the real choice here.
iPad 10th Gen. for general use
iPad Air 5 for creative work (unless you want to step up to a pro)
I can still do all my art on my 6th generation iPad with my 1st generation Apple Pencil. The iPad 10 was $250 less than the air and supports my Apple Pencil. That’s why I went with the cheaper iPad. Anything is an upgrade from my 2018 iPad. This one should last just as long. The only reason I got a new iPad is because Mozilla is slowing down severely on the 6th generation iPad. Other than that everything works just fine 5 years later.
If you want an ipad air based on this video, what you really want and should buy is an ipad pro 11 2018 or 2020. Not really a whole lot more money but a lot better than the air.
I got the iPad Air 5 Blue as a gift from my wife she also got one (purple) not knowing anything about them other then she really wanted purple so that’s why she went with the air we both got the gen 2 Apple Pencil && since having them we have got so much done it really make are life more productive
The 10 is the update for 9 users. They don’t have to buy new Pencils. Also think of the schools, better display, no new Pencil purchase, lighter weight, far less charging port issues, and no expensive glass repair costs. We’re talking 7-12 yr olds who use the 9 & now 10. Also, Seniors.
Problem with too many reviewers is they only think of themselves and forget the varied mass of target users for the different devices. If you are comparing a new Base model to a mid tier model, that says the Base model is the better purchase for basic Tablet needs.
What would be the life of an Ipad 10th Gen v. an Ipad Air/ Ipad with an M1 chip, if i buy it now in 2024?
