Do you own an ipad pro m1 that has been previously used? can i buy it instead? maybe it’s a lot cheaper than the price here in my country. since my savings is not enough and i dont want to ask somebody for some money. so can i buy yours instead? if u have an ipad pro m1 that you sont use anymore, if u don’t have, it’s fine. thank youuu
No, I am not surprised. I can’t think of anyone, other than the hosts of Max Tech, that would be surprised that a Pro device is better than a consumer device. Think before you hit record guys!!!
sure but i have an ipad pro 2020 and its display looks trash in the dark....
Yet if your wanting the ipad air 5 for art probably the best ipad you could get in terms of value that's why I choose it no other reason if I wanted all the extras ofcourse I'd go for a pro but I think this is amazing value for what your paying for digital art 👍
I was searching for a dishonest review (lies) but had to make do with this one.
Why
Smh same here... Sigh if only someone could go the extra mile to make a dishonest review...
@@ashishjoy96 don't worry there's always mkbhd 😊
Hahahahaha Im rolling Lmao
But what about comparing it to the entry level iPad. I think most people want to know is it worth spending more to get the air. It’s pretty obvious the Pro is better
If you feel like cheaping out, get the iPad. If you need a bit more out of your iPad than the $329 model and don't care about ProMotion, get the iPad Air. If you're a tech nerd, get the iPad Pro.
I think the Air is the sweet spot to get. Only get the basic iPad if you want the cheapest new iPad to buy
This has been proven for years now that the air is already just as good if not better than the base iPad.
This is my review
iPad - a beginning device for people who just want a consumption device and don’t care about the specs
iPad mini - a portable device for people on the move and something you take anywhere, mainly for little children
iPad Air - people on a budget and want a good m1 chip, good for students
iPad Pro - for people who are creators and need the extra power, mainly for creators and students
These are changes i would like for the iPad line up:
iPad mini should be added to the iPad Pro lineup
iPad Air just shouldn’t exist
And iPad is fine on its own
So in total:
iPad Pro lineup - 8.9”, 11”, 12.9”
iPad lineup - just the 10.5” model
Ipad Air is almost cheaper by RM 1000 than ipad pro
The 120hz is not a big deal. Unless you like wasting money.
Another thing to keep in mind, tech is always improving. Two years ago 600 dollars would’ve gotten you something half as good. Two years from now you might get something twice as good. Unless the new iPad is coming within a couple months, it doesn’t make sense to always wait for the next big thing. Consider all the time you would’ve had a tool like the iPad but didn’t because you were waiting. It might be priceless if you have a business or are you college.
120hz is totally a big deal but it is not necessary for everybody. It will be a worthwhile reason to get the pro next release when they have the m2. 120hz screens are a lot nicer though, I wouldnt try and deny that
120Hz is a very big deal, but only if you're used to it. My other smart devices all have a 120Hz screen referesh rate, so going back to 60Hz is extremely jarring, especially if I'm using two devices in tandem. Now, am I ready to pay 200€ extra just for a bigger refresh rate? Probably not.
Sounds like someone has never used a 120hz screen daily before
Facts!
I am an avid iPad Pro 12.9 user. I loved the Blue Air so much that I bought it with the full intention of returning it before the 2 week period. I couldn’t stand the lack of 120hz on my mini. I honestly have to say this tablet has really been such an amazing purchase there’s no way I’d return it. I use it with the magic keyboard for work alongside my 14 inch Pro - and my 12.9 inch M1 iPad Pro is my main computer - I do all my creative stuff on there, recording demo tracks, writing music, playing games. The point of the story is that specs really aren’t enough to create an ‘honest’ review. Everyone has a different use case. It is a beautiful little machine and the trade offs vs the Pro are negligible depending on what you use it for. As much as I’d LOVE ProMotion on it, it has not in anyway hindered my experience. The excellent gpu in it makes it feel so responsive anyway.
Thank you for this. I didn’t know about the microphone differences and that difference is huge. Going Pro now.
I was going to trade in my iPad for a new one but never considered the Pro because I didn’t think I needed it. But you showed me what I would miss out on, thanks. Subscribed
Why would they include a dual camera system with bump, flash and quad stereo speakers to their entry-level iPads? I don't think that was ever on the table.
maybe theyre about to introduce a real upgrade to the ipad pro lineup
@@0711juliocesar what would that even be though?
The Mini 5 has flash on the back camera.
Here are my thoughts:
If ProMotion 120 refresh rate (for people who have ProMotion iPhone 13 Pros and MacBook Pros) and Face ID are important to you, the iPad Pro is optimal. If screen brightness is important, the 12.9-inch version is the best of the best.
For most consumers (meaning they probably have non-pro iPhones), the iPad Air is the sweet spot. For example, for someone who doesn't want the somewhat dated look of the base iPad, and they want colours and access to Apple Pencil 2, this is great for those people. It's for people who don't find it necessary to jump up to the Pro just for taking some notes and watching some content, which doesn't require more than 64GB. If you're a heavy app user, then the Pro is the better choice, especially for storage.
The iPad Mini is for those who want the iPad Air in the smallest size.
The base iPad is basically the SE of the iPad lineup, it has the main features, but not the most advanced ones.
the screen is terrible tho.. brightness is horrible and LCD is just not cutting it..
@@BG4life13 well it’s equivalent to other similar Apple products (MacBook Air, iMac, etc)
@@BG4life13 "terrible" might be the biggest over exaggeration ever, you are all so spoiled it's honestly not funny. The screen is so-so far from "terrible", I think you haven't seen truly terrible screens
I'm seeing this comment 1 year later after you had posted it, but it has cleared my confusions. 64GB iPad Air 5 is the route I am going for, not the iPad 10 256GB. I won't do any tasks with requirements for high horsepower, as I have a full fleged laptop for those tasks
Truly appreciate this video!!!! I was absolutely torn on what to upgrade too from my iPad Pro 1st Gen since I had only been able to grab it at 64GB at the time and for digital illustration that's a super limiting storage space. Especially since half of that storage is automatically gone to the operating system. Your review saved me tons- the ProMotion, Face ID, and Higher Refresh Rate for the pen are super cool features I would have missed entirely being not as tech literate. Grabbed myself a 256GB 2021 Pro and am super happy 👍
I have a 13 Pro Max and the iPad Air 5. I can say from my personal use that swapping back and forth from the Pro Max to the Air 5 doesn’t feel as though it’s as big of a deal as described, especially considering how often the Pro Max’s refresh shifts to conserve battery life.. I guess it comes down to personal preference but shouldn’t be a deal breaker.
13 pro max is capped to 90 fps
I own the same two products. I see a bigger difference between the OLED of the Max and the LCD of the Air (blacks are much deeper on the phone) than the difference in refresh rate. I’d buy an OLED iPad 11” (don’t want a 12.9” Pro with Mini-LED).
I have the same setup as well! I really haven’t noticed a difference and I have a screen protector on my phone which makes it look worse than it really is but don’t have one on my iPad so my iPad looks better a lot of the time in my eyes, I love them both and are perfect for my use cases!
Nice info…. Quick honest question. I’m in the time frame to get a new iPad. Should I wait for the 2022 coming this year or buy the current iPad Pro?
I got the iPad Pro 2021 with 256gb WIFI, which was only 37€ more (Amazon) compared to the new iPad Air 256gb WIFI! An absolute no brainer!
For my usage this would have been amazing if at 600 dollars it would have gotten 128GB or 256 GB of storage… but for 749 I would better get the pro
Well I’m happy with my iPad Air,is there that much difference really,or does the pro turn into a drone
As an 13 Pro iPhone user I do not notice the difference between the displays when going between the iPad Air 5 and the phone. I have tried the iPad Air 5, 2020 11” Pro, the iPad mini 6 and finally realized the 2022 Air is the way to go for me. I never use the camera on any iPad except for maybe scanning docs and thought the new iPad mini was the device I wanted because of the portability, so I sold the 11” Pro. I enjoyed it as a consumption device but after a few months of use I realized I missed the ability to attach a keyboard and do “stuff”. I am one who sells the older device when I get a newer one and did not have the 11” Pro to go back and try so it was around that time when Apple announced the new Air and I decided to purchase it when the pre orders came out. It has been a few weeks now and I am really enjoying it using it with the Logitech Touch Folio keyboard, I do think I have what I want and should be happy for years to come.
Congratulations winner you've been randomly selected, text me now I have something for you
🎉yoooo another max tech video!!!
Thanks for this info! I think I'm gonna wait for the iPad Pro M2 to come out (whenever that will be).
So you want someone who would be happy with the iPad Air to pay 30% extra on a iPad Pro for features that they don’t need?
The problem was that the software hadn’t caught up. iOS16 will really open up the possibilities of the M1 chip in the iPad Air. New M1 only games. New features.
torn between air 5 and pro 11. What to get? the main purpose is for teaching.
Great review! I wanna know your thoughts too, shall I get the iPad air 5 256gb or the base iPad Pro 11" M2 if i will be using it as my main productivity, vid editing (not a pro here but want to get better)? Will be using external ssd definitely but I want to get the best value for the price range. Hope to hear back! Thanks!
If they added the flash and thunderbolt support they would get so many more sales, not to mention they would make more money having thunderbolt on another device.
I almost switched to Galaxy Tab S8+, but I guess I'll wait till next year to get that sweet OLED display. I had an iPad Pro M1 12.9, I hated the MiniLED. The blooming always distracted me.
Thank you for this.
I need advice. I'm getting MB Pro 14 base model. I can have iPad Air 5 64GB Wifi+cell for around 480$ or wait a bit and get iPad Pro 128GB wifi+cell for around 700$. I'm going to use ipad as e-book reader for studying and to do some graphic design stuff. Which one should I get?
your videos are the best!
I got the iPad Air 5 in blue. It is sooo good. I like everything about it except 3 features. It doesn’t have 2 cameras in the back and quad speakers. It doesn’t have Face ID which I would want really for Animoji not authentication. Touch ID worked totally fine. I also needed 256 gigabytes so I would have to spend $200 to get the iPad pro. The iPad Air is a nice tablet and I would definitely recommend it.
Exactly my thoughts.
I understand it is much worth to buy iPad Pro 128GB than iPad Air 256GB, but 128GB storage I don't think it would even last for the next 5 years.
Plus I don't need high refresh rate display (coming from using iPhone 11, old MacBook ), I rarely uses camera on the iPad, I have better bluetooth speakers or AirPods so the speaker setup I really doesn't matter.
Plus if I really do want to get iPad Pro, I will get the 12.9 inch for the sake of the mini-LED display, that's it.
Totally agree! I love mine!
.... The key is what iPad are you "upgrading" from?....if you are coming from an iPad Air 2
(A8X chip or older), the new iPad Air is a beast...speed....speed....speed.
The video started as a review of ipad Air, ended up becoming a iPad Pro appreciation post.
Lmao on gawd
Hey my friends, I’m an IT student so, I do some codes like machine learning tasks on my laptop.
I have a little weird question, which one should I choose?
1. Macbook air m2 16gb 512gb
2. Macbook air m1 base model
+
iPad air5 m1 base model
3. (A little bit pricier combo):
MacBook air m2 base model
+
iPad air5 m1 base model
The purpose of having products that are slightly worse than the top end of the scale is to get people to buy the top end. This always works with three or more choices. If there was no mid-range product, some of those who buy the Pro now would only buy the entry-level model. Empirical research on purchasing decisions.
Thats true . I can see a lot in the comments
People still buy apple products
Exactly, but they also want you to skip the middle option and sacrfice 128gb storage in the process, so I didn’t bite.
What I hear you saying is that there should be no mid range iPad like the iPad Air. If you take all the things that are lacking and add them to the iPad Air then what you have is an iPad Pro. I guess I'm not getting your point. What would you put into an iPad Air to make it worth while but keep the cost down?
Misleading comparison to the Samsung S8 model, which also starts at $599, but Samsung includes their S pen at that price, which Apple charges another $129.00 for. Plus the Samsung has 128 GB memory and a faster 120 hz refresh rate with an advanced OLED screen. Two great tablets, each with their own strengths and weaknesses
Refresh rate compared with iphone 13 pro was the deciding factor for me! Thank you
nice vid, title is great, wait, was that max’s or vladim’s kid? XD
I have a question for you. I read books and look at magazines with my IPad 10.2 model with 128M Storage. I will watch video’s on TH-cam and use a Chat Room channel for my Ham Radio Group. If I was going to upgrade, what would be a good model to upgrade to?
Just got my 256gb iPad Air 5 for $650 and I’m happy with it so far
Apple are masters at upselling their own products, the fact that 128 gb version of the Air doesn’t exist proves it. The base model Air (64 gb) is great value for money though if you can make that storage work, the 256 gb not so much when compared to the Pro. Apple knows exactly what they are doing by convincing people to spend more money by upgrading to the Pro. Obviously the Pro is better than the Air, but it’s in a different price range. Yes it’s “only” $200 more to upgrade, but you need to ask yourself if you initially were going to spend that much.
Amazon has the 2022 iPad air (64GB) for $569.00. So make that about a $180.00 difference for the $749.00 Amazon price on the 2021 iPad Pro (128GB). $180.00 isn't nothing but it would be you a lot more pad. ProMotion is a nice thing to have. But it seems logical that if you're going to spring beyond the very good big-bezel base model to get the M1 chip then you might want to get the pad that makes real use of it.
Should I get this or wait for the next iPad air
I love your videos😍
nice review
I just bought the iPad Pro 11 with the M2 chip. I previously had the iPad Air 3rd generation for almost 5 years. It owed me nothing. If the battery didn’t finally tank I’d still be using it. I am happy with the 11 pro. The 12.9 is just too heavy!
You pick the mini or the air?
Honestly, I don’t think 120 Hz is that much of a big deal for MY usage. I’m on an original 12.5’’ iPad Pro writing this, which still works great, and to ME, the screen size is much more important than the refresh rate, and I DO have an iPhone 13 Pro just beside it to compare. I use my iPad mostly for couch media consumption, and while this work, I’ll stick to my old timer. Honestly, if Apple could come with a simple cheap 15’’ iPad, I’ll be more than happy to spend my money on it. I don’t need a sophisticated back camera system - none at all would be just fine with me - and I don’t need OLED at 120 Hz. And I don’t need a power house to edit 4K videos on it either. Gaming is not my stuff. Just bring me big screen. The biggest the better.
Great video Max, All noted, this is why i want to go for the Pro, the refresh rate, the audio quality, the screen in general. Will the 128gb restrict me though on the pro? Or can i make use or external storage and cloud storage to make it less i of a problem.
Is the refresh rate super fast though. I was checking out the iPad pros at Best Buy and they were like so fast to the point where I couldn’t even see when I was sliding through the apps. I actually hated it. It was like a blur. I just bought myself a MacBook Pro and only need an iPad for taking notes in college and keeping everything on there. I want plenty of storage and I know 64 gb is not enough for the air. But I also don’t need a fuckin high tech flashy secondary device just something that is comfortable to use. I would probably use my iPad more than my computer, but it depends on what I’m going for. I’m going in undecided.
@@tobytrish1007 Yes, so the weeks passed, i bought an iPad Pro with 256 gb storage. Best decision i have made with regards to iPads. Great piece of kit.
Thanks for the feedback! I think I’m just gonna go with the pro. Do you think I will run into any problems with 128 gb?
@@tobytrish1007 not really! I bought the 256gb because I really wanted this amount of storage. However if you have cloud subscription and don’t go mad with pointless apps and/or have a load of photos and videos you will be okay. Depends on your budget and requirements really! I also paired it with a magic keyboard and will likely get a pencil this or next month. Do what suits you best mate but if your buying for usage over a few years or so get the higher storage !
@@daniellewis1253 based off of your experience, would you say that you personally like the 120 Hz refresh rate. Could you live without it? Is 60 Hz just fine? Im still thinking about going for the pro but I can a cheaper deal for the air 256gb than the base 128gb for the pro.
Great Review!!!!!!
I have a second gen 12.1" iPad Pro and to be honest, the pro motion makes little to no difference to my eyes.
As long as it’s better than the iPad Air 2 I’m using right now 😂 😂
For me, speakers on tablets are a non issue. I always use headphones so irrelevant as far as I'm concerned. I have always like the screen real estate on the Pro but I have other devices that have huge screens so the Air is much more compact and convenient. Good review though pal.
Do you feel any clicking noise on back of ipad air 5?????
torn between ipad air 5 256 gb or ipad pro 11 inches 128 gb. storage is a huge thing to me but upon watching this video i realized that ipad pro is much better. im a student and i think 128 gb isnt enough for me given the fact that my phone has 128 gb and i only have 15 gb left. help me decide
all tech specs but no mention of weight and handling since your have to hold a tablet in your hands 🤚. The Pro model is a great table top device but not something that’s feels light and easy to handle when you’re
moving around and using the device in your hands. Probably the most important factor for consideration for most people is “can I hold it and read/browse/ game without getting tired.
OMG! Love it! Nice and helpful review! Super nice and clean unboxing! So relaxing! 😍 I got iPad Air 5 but in “new blue” color. 🤍 Soon I will buy apple pencil 2 and magic keyboard for this. ✨ Congrats to your new iPad 😍 To all small and new youtubers out there, we got this! Something good will happen to us one day. Keep dreaming~ ✨
Honestly for 95% of the people the standard iPad is enough. What really bothers me tough, is the non laminated display.
3:26 Lel where did that boy come
I only do basic tasks and media consumption but i got the air 5 for the proper stereo speakers, I never liked the speaker layout on the ipad 10.2.
That change in the microphone was impressive
I don’t see why people care about speaker quality sound when there’s ear buds and bluetooth speakers 🤦♂
Can I use it as a MAIN Monitor for the Mac Studio? (For traveling without a Big Monitor)
The iPad Air is always in a weird place as compared to the base iPad Pro model. You just save some money but you also lose a lot of features. It’s Apple’s clever way to upswell you to a more expensive model. It’s a shame that the 11-inch didn’t get the mini-LED display, that display is crazily good except for some blooming issues in pitch dark environment (the one on the MacBook Pro 2021 is much better with regard to blooming.)
Tell me about it lmao. I was looking into an iPad mini or iPad 9 but thinking about it the 12.9 128 gb iPad Pro is probably what’s best for me due to all 256 iPads damnear being as much as a base pro
My first ever ipad and i am enjoying it. I bought the base variant because i use Cloud storage. I
The future of iPad is looking 🤩
The real take away is they are turning the iPad Air into a budget iPad Pro.
And there is something on the horizon that is going to make iPadOS need the CPU power.
The real question is what the budget iPad is going to get for the CPU.
I sure hope this comes to be soon!
The 120 hz is just a gimmick. I have an iPhone 13 pro and iPad Air 5. I can’t tell the difference between them. Calling 60hz on an iPad choppy is just silly.
Agreed. I have an Air 5 and a 13 Pro Max. The bigger difference isn’t the refresh rate, it’s OLED vs LCD. OLED has much better black levels, but LCD still isn’t a dealbreaker. Color reproduction is otherwise fine as is the resolution on the Air.
No it’s not lol
In Spain the amazon refurbished prices are very bad so the deal is not the same getting old devices. I guess you live in USA?
Should I get the iPad Air 5 or IPad Pro and I have a iPad Air 2
I am buying three of the iPad Air 5 tablets - one for myself, one for my wife, and one for my son.
So for us the savings is 600 dollars vs buying the Pro models.
🤠👍
Why not buying just one??
@@misterfragrance3319 I’m guessing the lack of swapping personal profiles and the apple eco system would want one to purchase separate devices for all family members.
@@DarwinWJ74 I think its just a waste of money
@@misterfragrance3319 I’m telling you a reason why someone would purchase more than one. I don’t really care what you think.
I can see where some people might be fine with an iPad Air, as long as they know what they are getting.
Keep in mind that for the $100 more you pay on the tab S8 you get an S-Pen included, 120hz refresh rate, 128 gb of storage and expandable storage. Android might be somewhat limiting when compared to iPad os but Samsung Dex allows for true multitasking unlike the iPad.
Yeah but you're not going to be achieving 120 in every app for the next 5 years lol...
Depends what you do with it. I got an air 5 with 256gb so i am never worrying about storage. Never had an ipad pro so those pro features i have never used and to be honest i can live without them. Air 5 is damn versatile for video editing, storyboarding, movies, games, writing, drawing. Coming from a 6 gen ipad it’s a leap ahead. So i considered the pro 128gb but prefer the double storage and fast as hell m1 chip which can cope with just about anything you throw at it.
I’m watching this on a iPad m1 air ! So happy I made this deduction it’s so fast
The crippled file management system on the iPad keeps me from buying any iPad other than the basic model. My 2017 iPad does everything that these new iPads do, so why upgrade? Waste of money.
I didn't want to buy a 5 year old device. I hope it will be possible to unlock the ipad os in the future so we can actually use the hardware. Also in my country the old 2017 ipad are selling for 300-400 dollar. So the difference to an almost new M1 ipad wasn't that big.
As a 2021 iPad Pro owner I have to admit I was disappointed the Air was getting the M1 and other features that were for the iPad Pro. But hearing the other many differences it’s definitely worth the upgrade.
Is the refresh rate super fast though. I was checking out the iPad pros at Best Buy and they were like so fast to the point where I couldn’t even see when I was sliding through the apps. I actually hated it. It was like a blur. I just bought myself a MacBook Pro and only need an iPad for taking notes in college and keeping everything on there. I want plenty of storage and I know 64 gb is not enough for the air. But I also don’t need a fuckin high tech flashy secondary device just something that is comfortable to use. I would probably use my iPad more than my computer, but it depends on what I’m going for. I’m going in undecided.
The ipad is a computer
Is there a new iPad Air coming out I am not sure if I should upgrade. I have a I iPad 8th generation and I am not sure if I should upgrade to the iPad Air 6 when it comes out
Ipad air and pro is more than enough for us normal user,All I want is the front facing camera move to the longer side and more software enhancements
100% agree. Definitely a stop gap product. Perfect way to explain it. I'm still rocking my 2020 iPad Pro and 2021's iPad...Honestly in terms of M1 iPads, I'm waiting until this upcoming iPad Pro with the M2...although I admit, Christmas and Black Friday/Cyber Monday are gonna be hard to get through without pulling the trigger lol.
The M2 should be out by then, If not april 2023. Also the difference between the m1 chip and m2 isnt that crazy big of a difference now if this was m1 to m3 or so then yea. Either tablet you wont lose. OFC the m2 is a little snappier a tad quicker. But that much quicker nope
Stop gap for whom? Those who want IPad Pro are obviously heavy end users who need heavy processing power. The Air is perfect for what I need. All I need is a fast processor to handle light daily tasks where other tablets would lag. And entry level iPads are clearly for those who just want to browse or surf their social media on the go.

My iPad Air 5 only gets about 7 hours of battery life thinking about returning it.
Ipad air 5 (2022) 256 gb or iPad pro 2021 128 gb? Still dont know...
We start to see that I can only afford the air in the 64GB model 😢 (still great tablet)
I think the best option is the 2018 and 2019 IPad Pro, they’re plenty powerful with day to day use you really wouldn’t notice, M1 is overkill in that regard, but 120hz is far too important.
Exactly. I bought a refurbished 2018 iPad Pro 11” several months ago for $520 if I recall. 120Hz & quad speakers are terrific for media consumption & games. I don’t use the iPad for any significant productivity so the A12X is more than sufficient. Plus FaceID is a nice bonus in my opinion.
The 2018 and 2019 ipad pro are the same
I also had a 2018 iPad Pro on Amazon Renewed last Xmas for around £450. It’s significantly better than a new base model iPad in many ways, has plenty of headroom and I just use it for media consumption, shopping, email etc. Quite a deal and I’m not a fan of the TouchID in power button on a multi orientation tablet so the iPad Air 4 & 5 make no sense to me whatsoever with all the compromises at quite a high price point.
I currently have the 2018 iPad Pro, even now, it's a fabulous device.. it was way ahead of its time, the 120hz, 4 speakers, a12x still holds up pretty well! ,Face id ,and the most amazing thing is
flashlight which none of the air has..If you guys need the ultimate experience no doubt go for the pro..If you find the refurbished one Pro on the price of air, blindly go for the Pro its far more great experience than this Air.. (Its my opinion).
Tbh, I don't think 120hz is nearly as important on a tablet as on a smartphone or monitor. The ipad air and my previous tablet at 60hz feel plenty smooth. However, when running my 120hz phone at 60hz, those same animations are noticeably choppier and less smooth overall. Additionally if you're primarily using your tablet for media consumption and gaming, you're more than likely not taking much advantage of the 120hz display anyways. The pro motion display really shines when you're frequently using applications that will support that refresh rate like when doing art.
my biggest concern between the Air 5 and Pro 11" is battery life. Waiting for someone to compare both devices in a battery drain test. If I can get 2 more hours while using the Pro 11", i say its worth paying the extra $200 difference.
Apparently it's about the same, but I haven't tested it out tho.
$200 only for a slightly better display and more storage. I don't really think it is worth it.
Wait huh… if that’s not the flash, then what’s the thing below the camera??
I was really going to get the Air 5 when it came out. I have the Air 4, which is still perfect for what I use it for, & having received the M1 iMac for Christmas, there just seems no need to upgrade. I even still have an iPad 6 & iPad 8, both going strong. The iPad Air 5, starting at 64GB is pathetic, & the cost to upgrade to 256GB is nearly criminal (although I did with the Air 4...). A 128GB would be the sweet spot for most people. Honestly, creating all this confusion benefits Apple. A lot of people will say what the hell, and upgrade to the pro for "just" $150. I'm a total Apple fan, but it sure seems they get greedier each and every year.
I'm an android user and this will be my first experience with apple... Being mad that I have to save even more money just to get real storage....
Nice video
It is the most honest comment on iPads I ever see: Thank you.
I love promotion but Air display is still awesome and more than ok for most users even casual gamers.
Can we talk about the fact that anybody who’s taking a pictures on the rear camera of an iPad is a certified psychopath
😅😅😅😅😅😅. Yep.
That speaker difference made my jaw drop lol :)
Note -: u r student and going to spend max time on books and lectures and need high storage for long journey of university so invest ur money carefully 😉
For me all those updates of pro
Boy you sure did hit it right on the head when you said Apple is intentionally blocking the M1 chip to perform like the iPad Pro M one. But No one mentions that the regular iPad nine chargers at 18 watt and the air charge is at 20 W so in order to get fast charging you have to go to the pro anyway. So if you do play games Roblox stuff that choose all your battery fast it doesn’t make any sense to buy nothing but the pro. Because what is ultimately going to be the deciding factor is the charging speed which nobody seems to look at. Or care about. Coming from my iPad eight that thing takes four hours to charge 0 to 100
The faster chip won't matter so much if you're staying at 60hz. Even with the M1, ipad air feels like underpowered because of the laggy swiping experience.
100% agreement thanks 👍
iPad Air able to handle lightroom photo editing and Canva apps?
If there would be one I could add to the IPad Air, it would be Promotion (120 hz Display)
Hows the battery life?
My local Costco has the iPad Air 4 on sale for $470, mini 6 for $490, and Air 5 for $570. Help me choose! This will be my first iPad. I have the iPhone 13 mini so just looking for something for web browsing, TH-cam, Reddit, general media consumption. No photo editing or playing crazy games (if any at all).
I have the air 4 and i generally use it the same way as you here describe. It should be enough for your usage as well, if you prefer the little bit larger screen size to mini 6.
