3:20 The iPad Air has always been a weird device in terms of why it exists... After the original iPad, the iPad Mini came to offer something highly understandable; EXACT same functionality in the smallest form factor the resolution could be sustained at for uncompromising app compatibility between the original, standard iPad and this smaller version. But then came the iPad Air for... same size as the standard iPad, but lighter in weight... And then eventually came the iPad Pro for... A larger screen size in comparison to the standard iPad. You see, the Pro and the Mini make sense to go alongside the standard, specially now that it became more than just screen-size differences. But I still after all these years cannot wrap my head around the iPad Air... It just makes no sense for that device to exist. I understand and love the concept of Air applied to the Macbook, but... it's a tablet, it is not heavy to the point where reducing any of the weight actually matters.
The decreased weight and cost with the larger screen is definitely worth a category of its own. The mini is effectively a slightly larger phone, and the pro costs double what the air does. I’ve had an iPad Air before it got stolen and it was the handiest “computer” device I’ve ever had.
IMO, 64GB is not tenable without expandable storage. That pushes the Air up to $750, at which point you should probably just get the Pro. I feel the same way about the iPhone 12.
It is still criminal *how much* more apple charges for extra storage, especially since it's not expandable, $150 for 192 GB more of storage is unacceptable in the current year. You can literally get a 1 *Terabyte* 970 Evo M.2 SSD for that price.
@@jordantavares8521 and actually. Yeah they could do that. They choose to use soldered storage. It has no benefit compared to removable.

Agreed. Also, if they want a tablet, the new cheap iPad is their best option. Android just never quite got the hang of tablet OS. The surface tablets are great, but also a bit pricey 😬. I guess that’s why, whenever I’ve heard people talking about their tablets, it’s always either an iPad or “not an iPad.”
@@kaldogorath yes, and the majority of people don't, and if they do, they do so on their consoles. Pcmasterrace may be vocal, but it is extremely far from being part of the majority.

I mean, if it computes, it is a computer right? Or is apple still trying to say that its iPad does not compute, but rather does something 'fancy' that equals what we refer to as computing.
I don't know why you'd focus on the size of the bezels that much, as long as they're not gigantor. You NEED decently wide bezels on a tablet for usability, there's much more gripping it with the thumb going on since you can't just palm it quite like a phone.

To the video editor who added the spark when the iPads hit... good job
