While Android users are lucky to get maybe one or three OS upgrades, Apple will be giving their 7 year old iPad Air 2 iOS 15. For over a week Jonathan used it and an iPhone SE (1st gen) to see what it's like to use the latest software on the oldest tech.

@@Deinobi yeah it’s went down some
It’s actually impressive how long Apple support their older products.
It’s why I can’t go outside the ecosystem. I just know that all the fancy flips and folds are going to age like poop in a few years.
@@EpicGamer-no3yj Not to mention they will lose value fast. Apple products are actually not expensive in the long run if you're selling them before you upgrade. M1 has taken that to a new level for Macbooks.
No shit Sherlock, that’s the point of the video
@@VaydaladaVodalada ok mean man
@@Dionyzos With regards to the M1 MacBook, we don’t know yet.
As it was stated in the video, the first gen might be more experimental and not receive that many updates.
"The iPhone 6s will be able to run iOS 15"
Me, with an iPhone 6: 😭
A 6s is like $50 now, an SE even less
@@CJonestheSteam72 I’ve found 6s’s are usually about $65 and SE’s are around $45 for me which isn’t bad at all but at this late in their life i wouldn’t recommend buying one unless you’re on an extremely tight budget.
Time to upgrade to a 6S!
Don’t worry bro, you can always… bend the rules 😏 But seriously, you should look at other iPhones since iOS 12 is getting further and further back each day. I would still recommend the iPhone 8 if the camera isn’t your top priority nor a oled screen. It has the same performance as the iPhone X, but retains the classic design and home button (aka, you iPhone 6 case may fit). It is an underrated iPhone since the iPhone SE 2020 and recent prices do reflect that. However, if your current battery is still okay, nothing stops you from using it till it gives up. But hey, still, gotta give you creds for using that good old boy and … bending conventions 😝
@Hooman Being kinda joking, of course one should upgrade to the best they can afford. I think the 11 is the best value for the money, or SE2.
I am so glad that this channel posts engaging and creative Apple content. It’s so refreshing when there are so many channels focused on “leaks” and rumours, using click bait titles and thumbnails for views!
Mac Address is wrong. He defends apple for slowing down phones. He says that apple is better than android because they offer more software support. Even though you can't use a iphone 6 (2014) on ios 8 anymore today. All your old apps on ios 8 get disabled and your forced to update your ios. Meanwhile if you never update your android on 5.0 (2014), it will still work with all apps. Also macs slow down after updates but they don't have batteries so the whole battery degrade excuse is pure horseshit. Why doesn't he mention how apple purposely makes it impossible to downgrade ios on iphones by not allowing unsigned ipsws.
My iPad Air 2 is still alive and kicking as my gf's netflix and youtube machine. Still performs well, can even play modern games with varying degrees of success
i have one too, still works... kinda
How's the battery life holding up?
i also have one but i bought it when it came out and i used it mostly plugged in and very hardly so its battery is life is only like 5 hours
@@arnavodkaa for straight watching, around 6 hours. I got it when it first came out so its pretty beat up
@@imneveruploadinghere7180 exactly the same for me,but the volume buttons are completely busted
This is the first time I notice that you guys combined the roles at the end of the video, like "Director and Producer" for Linus or "Host and Write" for Jonathan.
Looks a lot better and cleaner!
They forgot it for Andy tho. Maybe "Shooter & Art Director" is too long?
@@YetiFell but they wrote “Dir.” for Linus so they could easily put “Shooter & Art Dir.”
i didnt even realize this is a linus media group channel 😂
@@jzecru same, the video looks too good
@@ireadysucks3026 Linus Media Group has some serious hardware and software for video production, so unless you've only watched their other videos from like 3 years ago it should be about the same.
When your device is this old, you may want to do a Restore (from scratch) install of iOS 15, then manually reinstall your apps. Guarantee the phone will run reasonably fast.
I’m trying this on my 2016 SE, will come back with results after
@@naijohn alright so what’s the result
@@naijohn You can’t just leave us in suspense lol
@@MR-wn6ln Worked! The phone runs significantly faster and somehow my touch id problem (having to rescan a lot) resolved itself, doesn't fix the battery problem though
Currently on IOS15.1 (19B74) Legit update
Haha, watching from an iPad Air 2. I was genuinely confused when I learnt I was going to get iPadOS 15. After this amazing experience I won't think twice before buying my first iPhone this year. 13 Series if it's a worthy upgrade.
After watching today's launching, I believe you should wait for iPhone 14
Yeah 14
I’m loving my 13 pro. First iPhone in a while worthy of getting. Significantly better than the 12 pro on a range of aspects. The 14 will ship with usbc tho so may be worth waiting.

@@ottoernst6707 no windows product functions as close to its peak performance as Mace do after 7 years.
Just gave an old iPhone 6 we had laying around to my grandmother. It might not be running the latest version of iOS, but it’s still technically supported. iOS 12 have been updated 5 times this year, mainly for security reasons. That means that there’s even older devices than the one you showed that are still up to date on a security level.
They won't have done it if the iphone 6 wasnt the most selling iphone to date
Plus the 5s and 6 use the same chip
So if 1 dies they both do so.
@@notpk6727 The iPhone 5S used the A7 while the iPhone 6 used the A8. According to Wikipedia : Apple states that it has 25% more CPU performance and 50% more graphics performance while drawing only 50% of the power of its predecessor, the Apple A7.
So I’m not so sure what you’re talking about.
honestly this channel has the highest production quality among the lmg channels. very impressive
@music studios i agree, I meant the video production quality not the writing
I mean, ltt produces daily videos and this channel does not so they have more time for discussion, editing, scripting etc etc and it generally seems higher quality than ltt. They even go outside to shoot short segments and this is just more high effort content rather than daily content
I love the support apple gives to their devices, I'm still on an iPhone 7 and see no reason to buy something new.
I had an iPad 4 from launch and retired it just recently, I'm currently in the market for a new iPad.
In contrast, my Android Xperia Play didn't receive even one update.
yeah that's why I will only buy iphone from now
@@ytkieranswire8360 I gave it to some kid's parents that couldn't afford buying a new tablet for his online classes, it was still surprisingly capable for things like that, though admitedly I had some issues with web browsing during the last year. What I'll miss the most is the battery life, that thing had somethink like a 10000 MAh battery, I charged it twice a week when I gave it a lot of use.
@@EmilyLovesTea123 too expensive I'm afraid, in my country I think it's over 1000 dollars, I can't afford that.
I had an iPhone 7 before and man having that Audio IC issue was a nightmare to deal with
@@brandon_nope I can't say, the lack of a headphone jack made me stop using my phone to listen to anything besides calls, period. To this day, my 5th gen 30 GB iPod is doing it for me.
I still use an My moms iPad Air 2 and I gotta say, for a 7 year old device it is holding on pretty damn well
I still use my mom's iPad 4, yes the 2012 (I think) model, it works great to watch UA-cam and internet TV!
same with Galaxy tab from 2010
"an my mum's iPad"
Got an iPhone 6S for Christmas 2015 and I love it. Never have had to take it to the store other than for a battery replacement back when batterygate was a thing and they were cheap. Only issue I'm running up against is my 16 GB of storage, other than that and a bit of screen burn-in and it works flawlessly.
Yep i get the screen burn in a lot. But to get more storage try to backup the phone and reset it. You'll get like 5 gbs of storage
My goodness how does one live with 16 GB
How are you living with 16 gigs. Lol.
So you need another phone
@@brandon_nope i have like 7 extra apps and like 400 photos on my phone with 1gb to spare. The other storage is the one that takes up most of the storage
Typing this on a perfectly functional iPad Air 2 that I bought last month for 90 bucks because it has a small scratch on the screen. The 90 bucks I made selling a pristine iPad 2 that I got for free. This video is just the cherry on top of that deal. Good stuff, thanks Jonathan!
I’m on my iPad air 2 right now. Bought it for $150 off at Best Buy 3 months after it launched. At the time I was worried he device would only be supported for 3 years, and the purchase would be a waste of money. Hearing Jonathan’s closing statement, I’ve never felt so validated in my decision. I definitely agree though, the battery is terrible now after 7 years of near daily use.
3:35 During last year when I was using my iPad for zoom and work, trying to multitask made this all to familiar to me.
Long support is one of the things I wish other companies would follow Apple on. It would be unreasonable to expect forever support, but several years is lovely.
On batteries... I do have an iPhone 4, some iPad 2s, and an iPad 3 that all still have working batteries... despite being waaaay behind on software.
How long apple supports their devices has played a big part on me expanding my apple ecosystem. I was on just a MacBook on 2013 but then i bought the iPhone X on 2017. And now and iPad Pro. These are expensive products for me but honestly each one of them keeps working beautifully for me to consider to update them to a newer version and they work together like a charm
My AT&T store still runs on 4 iPad Air first gens.. they're all 6 years old. I honestly can't believe they're in good shape still and running fine.
I have some thoughts about this videos production, I hope you receive it in a positive manner :)
I though this video was about longevity of Apple devices, as it was presented at the beginning and in the thumbnail, but it shifted to be about iOS 15 features, which was slightly confusing.
Also the “take my things and go away” transition is a bit over-used in your videos. I’d suggest finding less repetitive and more creative ways to transition between topics.
Nonetheless, I do appreciate this channels creative approach, which is so different from a normal LMG video :) keep up the good work!
Succinctly said.
Yeah right. Lost interest at the half way mark. Felt like he kept talking to reach the magical 10 min
@@vidhyachan6494 your point still stands, but they actually lowered the 10 minutes for mid-roll ads to 8 minutes last year :)
Yeah, I was a bit confused after he focussed more and more on the OS features. Not terrible per se, but not the direction I had pictured they would go with the video.
Dammit iPad Air 2, beating out the 4S
1:43 I've already had two on my new phone and my tablet has gone through four major updates, so clearly things are getting better.
RAM doubling from the previous year/model is a BIG reason for the longevity of these particular devices. I bought my SE and my mom's 6s for this reason and luckily I was correct. Cheers.
Watching on my iPhone SE (1st Gen). I am saving money to buy the iPhone 14 since iOS 15 is supported for this and there's no reason to upgrade this year.
I hate vibrations on first SE, but I love the phone. Upgraded only recently to 12 Pro.
Also watching on an iPhone SE. I was considering switching to Android after a few months, but this reminder of Apple's relatively long support makes me rethink that.
@@ytkieranswire8360 I bought it in 2018
@@TheHy6xD I too hate the vibration of it. I have completely switched it off since I am working from home these days and I don't have to worry about not hearing the ring while travelling.
@@BLiu1 Yes. This is the premium we pay for. The long security updates and software updates. And also we can still buy authentic batteries in Apple stores. After all these years.
Still using the iPhone SE as I’m watching this, really appreciate the content
1:28 I love what you did there! It’s like you’re story-telling, and it made me subscribe and gave this vid a thumbs up. This is the first video I watched from your channel and I’m glad I met you!! Great content!! Transition!! Everything!! 🥰
i got a 9.7-inch ipad pro for my birthday back in 2016 and i still use it as my daily driver for digital art, i'm amazed that a 6 year old device is still capable of doing intensive work like this
this is the thing that i was thinking to buy the first gen SE, yesterday.
I searched, I bought it. Just for fantasy and feeling little bit old fashioned
What’s crazier is that the iPad mini 4 is also getting this. It’s a year newer than the air 2 but is even less powerful. It’s basically an iPhone 6 with more ram.
Which is why the iPhone 6 with 1GB of ram was one of its many mistakes.
i used my air 2 for years, i loved it and its still going like the trooper it is. i only last year replaced it with the gen 6 mini
Beautifully shot and edited. Script transition from one point to another is smooth. Love Jonathan as a host. And damn the house looks sooo good to live in.
Still got my iPhone 6S Plus as my main phone since it was released. Such a great phone, just haven’t felt the need to upgrade so far!
Same i bought the 7 plus when it was brand new and it still works fine though the battery life is halfway dead
That point about wanting to turn off an app's non-essential notifications, like a delivery app's promotion notification, is something I like about Android. Each app has a notification channel, and you are able to turn off an app's individual notification categories. Makes for a cleaner notification experience.
I still use an iPad 4th Gen. The uses for it have been reduced to a painting tablet + e-reader device as of right now, but it's amazing that it works so seamlessly still.
I bought my iPad Air 2 at 2014 when it was brand new and I loved it ever since. The only real problem is how the battery quickly drains now, but I still have it and use it sometimes.
I love your style, with the open air elements and stuff. It's LTT quality but different and we already feel a connection with you in this very short time Jonathan! :)
Nice one!
I also wish that their hardware would be more repairable...
It’s funny that same iPad Air 2 is the one I still have. I got that thing as a graduation gift back in the day and it’s still hanging in there. But even though it’s still kicking I did finally decide to upgrade. Great little e experiment, and gives me confidence that my mom should be in good hands with it for at least another year or two. I can’t imagine even trying to use an Android tablet half the Air 2’s age
first time that I actually watched a 10 minute video without skipping! You’re really good at explaining things without it getting boring!! New subscriber here!
Man I love this channel; i love the out-of-the-box ideas of LTT on purely Apple topics in cinema-grade quality. I mean, it just can't get better than this for an Apple fan like me who tires of the usual rumors and oh-no-where's-the-power-brick videos. I just greatly fear that there will be not enough initial viewers for the channel to be kept active enough. This is my polite request to please keep making these videos, despite the statistics, for at least two years. By then enough true fans of Apple and quality content (there gotta be a couple million of us) discover this channel and watch each video. Then the cost of production will be worth it. I know you guys aren't there yet but I am confident you will get there. Have a great weekend, LMG.
Even though I keep my iOS devices for only three years, I’m still glad Apple gives this long term software support to their devices because it allows me to sell these products to my relatives who would continue to use them for another 3 years. My aunt was using an iPhone 6 until Christmas of last year when I sold her my iPhone 8. My grandfather is still using an iPad Air 2 to this day, and will continue to use it.
1. Battery of iPad-2 (2012) still working with 10 hours of playback time.
2. iPhone-5S and iPad Air have one more year of support. Although they are 2 iOS versions behind, they got a security update on June of 2021.
I’ve had the iPad Air 2 since it was new. I used to use it for remote learning and now it’s mainly a media consumption device if I’m away from my computer.
Has definitely served its purpose throughout the years but the battery life is a fraction of its former self.
It’s not terribly difficult to replace the battery. Just need to be careful with the hair dryer or heat gun.
@@aaronbigleman7326 I know how to do it in theory but it never leaves the house these days so it’s not really a huge priority for me now.
I love the production quality of these videos!! So good
How did you knew that these two are exactly my actual daily drivers?! 😮
Thanks for the vid
Although the 2018 12.9” Pro is my daily driver, my old Air 2 from launch day is still a surprisingly good secondary machine for basic UA-cam or video calls and stuff. Even the battery is still holding up pretty fine actually. It was way too powerful for its time.
I'm an SE user, and it still works so well!
Digging the style of the channel. Great work 👍
You captured the video an actual fly on your iPad when talking about fly in the ointment, that's impressive.
I just replaced my 6S this year (16gbs was getting ridiculous), but I’m glad they’re still updating it! It’s an awesome phone.
I have that specific SE. I absolutely love it. I bought it in 2016 and I swear I had no slow-downs whatsoever. Might be totally subjective, obviously. I had used the 4S for so long and iOS there _significantly_ worsened my experience. At some point it was so bad, that it just turned off at 80% energy. This didn't happen with the SE at all. It still feels as smooth as before. One of the big reasons for why I haven't upgraded is because I hate the newer iPhones rounded design and the SE had these beautiful sharp edges. The new mini has it as well, so I'm gonna upgrade as soon as I can afford it.
Rumors claim the 13 Mini is the last small iPhone so I’d recommend going for it
@@yakarotsennin3115 It is the last of the minis
This is an insanely well produced video!
I’m now realizing that this may not be as common as I thought. But in order for multitask to be easier on my iPad I crated a folder with apps that I usually use in multitask mode and simply dragged that folder into de dock which allows me to do the multitask thing without all the hustle that he did on the video.
Thank you for showing the multitasking improvement. I don’t think people understand how much better it is have the App Library, but also, if you tap the dots at the top, then tap one of the split screen buttons, it’ll take you to your Home Screen, and when you tap another app, it brings the previous app and the app you just tapped together. Pretty much the only way to do it before was to get the app you wanted in the recents section. Someone like my sister doesn’t like using that (for some reason) so I don’t think she even knows how to use split screen (she never let me teach her, I know, she’s weird)
i just happy of them keeping support for such old devices
this can mean that the current generation of phones might have a long life ahead!
How can I get iPhone se first generation 🥲
Android: can only support your device for two years.
iOS: Hold my update
4 years for samsung which they announced last year for devices from 2018 onwards. But still, cant get near apple support.
@@umersalman1 samsung actually announced 3 years, of android updates. they do more than 3 years based on security updates
@@umersalman1 nope. Its 3 years for galox. S9 stopped getting major updates from samsung since like last year
Thats false lots of android devices get higher then 2 years and fairphone i think is going for 4 to 5 years on there new phone
I'm still using an old iPad 2nd gen today. It still works fine even though software support ended many years ago. I mainly use it for Netflix. Battery is still fine too.
I only recently replaced the iPad Air 2 with a 2021 mini. I've had air 2 since 2014 and I used to use it daily for 8 years.
2014 was 7 years ago? holy shi- WAIT A MINUTE IT'S 8 YEARS AGO NOW WTF
Update: 9
I actually only recently ditched my iPad Air 2 and got an iPad Pro M1.
Fucking hell of an upgrade, lemme tell ya.
That’s one hell of an upgrade!
How many generations is the jump?
Now that must last another decade…
Nice Winnipeg shout out! I don’t live there but I am a huge fan of their sports teams!
I have used an iPad Air 2 since I got it in 2014. It has been really good for basic use(youtube, shows, google, and texting) and it has worked great. The battery only lasts like 1.5 hours but other wise it is probably one of the best devices I got.
Apple’s excellent software support is by far one of the biggest reasons I’ve moved to the iPhone over the past couple of years. My 2019 iPhone 11 will need its battery replaced soon (79% health) but it’s really nice having a phone that still performs excellently a couple years after purchasing it and knowing it’ll still be supported for likely longer than I’ll actually keep it. This is also why I actually feel comfortable spending big money on their iPad Pro - I know it’ll be supported for years and I can have the battery replaced when it needs it. Samsung’s best tablets still only seem to get a couple years or so of updates before being cut off. Really wish it was easier to swap the batteries on these devices though.
Lol my samsung A3 still has good health after 6 years
The first gen iPhone SE still pretty good on ios 15. (in my opinion)
So I got an IPhone SE (1. Gen) in 2016 and still use it today on a daily basis. I am using it without a Protector for the last 4 years and it still works with the original battery at 77% maximum capacity.
impresive storytelling and content flow! thanks for your elaborate video approach
Well this really impresses me, apple has a good track record about updates but a six or seven year old device getting the latest OS is truly great, recently we wanted a tablet for my grandma and this is exactly why I argued an iPad was the best option, yes they are expensive but you get a lot more time out of them, someone like grandma doesn't care about having the latest features but this means that she will be able to use it for maybe 10 YEARS as it will still be able to run any app she wants, probably even more.
1:40 yeah about that most Androids are Galaxys and most get 3 years of Software and 4 years of Security Updates... Still not comparable to iPhones tho
EDIT: Samsung bummed it up to 4 years of Software updates and 5 years of Security updates.
The fact that you also need to root and open bootloader just to make your android updated to the latest version is a big hassle to people. This is the point that majority of the android fanboys doesn't get they're always mad at the existence of apple but the fact that it has multiple updates that the common user can just do a tap and update compared to android.
The other replies are just straight up wrong. Every android I've had for the last 7+ years has received regular security updates (timely with android release cycle + US carrier delay of like a month) and software updates including upgrades to the newest version released years after the phones manufacture. No root, no nothing. The "Android doesn't get updates" meme is just wrong, and has been for a long time.
I mean if you're importing from outside your market, sure, but if you buy a phone available from your carrier or a big box store, it will get updated.
@@tephulio good for USA that their android phones gets updated unlike outside us it only has likely 2-4 updates that's why that meme is still justifiable especially with the midrange smartphones.
Low and mid-end Androids fare worse.
The more important thing is that Android phones don't need updates anymore.
Most security updates are now delivered via the Play Store as Play Security Updates.
Backwards compatibility is provided for devices all the way back to Android 5 for new app development features.
iOS doesn't provide this backwards compatibility support, meaning new apps often can only support the last one or two iOS versions.
I have the opposite problem of 3:18. I’m so used to tapping the top center of any app to scroll up that I hit the multitasking button accidentally instead of scrolling up.
I got a second hand iPad Air 2 while I was traveling aboard, and I have ended up using it for 6 years now. I think it would easily last 4 more years for me.
I still daily an iPhone 5s, although i will be upgrading soon, but the 5s still works admirably and holds plenty of charge (even without a battery swap)
Both mine and my brothers iPad mini 4 batteries are horrible if you let it charge to 100% it will die and i have to turn it on again does this about 6-10 times before staying on but if you stop it at 99% it’s fine besides the lower max capacity it now has
It's indisputable to say that Apple is the king when it comes to Mobile Software Support.
However I argue for a correction @ 1:40 , Samsung promised to 3 years of updates on their S20 line going forward. and their 2019 phones, the S10 Flagship Lineup got updated to android 11
Apple still dwarfs the android space when it comes to long term support of official OEM updates (non custom roms) but to say "you will get 1 update if you are lucky" is kinda erroneous.
I would not say Apple dwarfs updates of Fairphone (although it's still slightly less than Apple)
My original iPad Air is still great for bedtime reading! Battery lasts for over a month! (I only use it 20 min a night in airplane mode)
I love the new “do not disturb” features I have my personal on all the time and get to sit on my own island it is soooo great
Either the OS is optimised to run on older devices, or the OS' aren' really any different than the older ones.
I think given the fact those products have been released for 6+ years that its former. iOS and IpadOS has changed significantly in that time.
same with Android
Compare iOS 9 deeply with iOS 15 and that’s the answer
Even if it didn’t change aesthetically or functionally, it’s still important to get the newest security updates. That alone makes iPhone worth it in the long run for me.
@Cold As The Poles yes
Funny how 2014 will soon be 10 years ago now (referenced to 0:11)
The iPhone SE (1st gen) was my first iPhone after leaving android. It was also the first phone I financed when I joined T-mobile, it was only 399 lol. I loved that phone and I used it until 2018 when I got the X. I haven't bought an iPad yet but I probably will by the end of the year.
During my high school years we had the iPad 2 for my class. I remember having iOS 6,7,8 and 9 but once we got iOS 9 man were the IPad 2 really unusable. Now at the high school kids have the newest IPad’s. They are so lucky to experience faster and better iPads then in the past.
It's nowhere close, but android updates are up to 2 years for most phones, 3 for some. Security updates for 3 as a minimum basically.
It's security fixes that are really critical. New major OS versions are probably more of a convenience thing for handset manufacturers who have their shit together (so, apple, and no one else). The important thing is that users can continue to use their old phone and be confident that it's at least as secure as their PIN (12345, same as their luggage).
And if Ubuntu can manage 5 year support cycles while shipping a new OS every 6 months. FFS, one of the biggest companies in the world should be able to handle that.
@@contournut5726 Something that is often forgotten outside the Android bubble: Google has bit by bit pushed more and more system updates via the Play Store. Sure, it's not a fully fledged security update (You can mostly thank SoC-producers for that), but it's... something.
And Google has been pushing the mandatory minimum update timeframe year on year.
It's not Apple level of updates (for various reasons most haters don't care to understand), but it is surely better than most outside the Android ecosystem think it is 😅
Thank you for confirming me in my opinion that the iPad Air 2 is one of the best devices Apple has ever made ;).
Very nice to see a recent OS still running quite OK on such old devices. The software life cycle truly is a USP for Apple's phones and tablets!
I have an iPad 5 from 2017 so it’s still treating me well on iPadOS 16.4 I believe I haven’t had no hiccups I recently restored it to start over again
Replacing the battery will always be cheaper and less time consuming. Combine that with software support longevity and you have a great deal both for your pocket and the environment.
I am watching this on an Ipad Air 2 :D and it runs fine for YT, Netflix etc.
The best thing is, that I can always Jailbreak the newest version with checkra1n and enjoy YT without ads and Background playback ;)

To the point of the vid, it is nice to see. For the droid comparison, I have an S20 ultra that will basically be abandonware next year, if it isn’t already. Real shame. Its a nice piece that would easily sustain future iterations of Android without a hitch. If Samsung would let it.
Now, Apple, free up the purchase of board level components too and you’ll be super cool.
0:50 now I know why I don't feel comfortable whenever I try to sit at a coffee shop to do work. It's cuz I remembered back in college I used to sit in my laptop at a window or a balcony or outside, usually at my old apartment.
Today's date is Oct 02, 2021. I updated my iPhone SE (2016) and iPad air 2 (2014 model) to IOS 15.0.1 and they sound great.
I just switched my iPad Air 2 (on iOS 15) to the M1 iPad Pro 12.9 and it was eye opening!! I was so used to the iPad I wasn’t noticing how slow it really was. I don’t think iOS 15 should be able to run on the iPad Air 2, it made it way slower than on iOS 14. Anyway , that said I love my new iPad and strongly recommend it.
For all the good iOS brings, the fact that Apple haven't just given up and copied Android's notifications full stop is infuriating.
I’m not sure I like Android notifications. The way they group apps together so you can’t turn on notifications in Chat and turn off the notifications in Gmail is incredibly annoying.
I just turn off most notifications. When you only have 4-5 notifications at a time, iOS works well.
@Tommy Oliver 3D: I despise all the notification systems and do not think any of the implementations are good.
If I wanted that sort of thing, that was what Growl was for, it should not be baked into an OS. Now websites constantly have "Do you want to allow notifications" UIs even though my browsers are configured to never allow them. It is a usability disaster, all over the place.
@@cedricpomerleau5586 I definitely have Gmail notifications disabled on my Pixel 3a, so I'm not sure what you're referring to exactly.
Great coverage, great little visual flourishes as well! Keep up the great work!
That last point about battery is why I’m pretty happy with my iPhone pro max. Easily lasts two entire calendar days of use with normal settings. Even if the battery degrades significantly I’d still be able to go over a day
linux giving unlimited updates irrespective of hardware: am i a joke to u
Yep lol i do hope linux phones can hurry up development and actually be usable lol
This video is much like Apple's official statements about problems: the problems are always worse than described, and no detailed explanations or scientific data are given.
I was looking at that same exact iPhone SE today… in the exact same color-
Just found your channel. Awesome vid.

I have an ipad air 1 from 2013 running iOS12.5.4. Only for youtube/prime video/Netflix but thats also still running smooth af besides the RAM limitations. And especially this is astonishing that the device following geht 3 more major releases
It's important to remember that while with Apple you get full-featured (with the exeption of some hardware specific features) OS updates, during all those years, with Android you still get google-services updated and modern apps even on older versions of Andoroid. So you might not get all the OS related features, but you get the same longevity, if not even more. Google is really good with backwards compatibility.
This is the first Mac address vid I've seen, newly subscribed, I dig the style
I'm not a huge iPad user but picked up a battered but functionally fine iPad Air 2 about 4 years ago for £70 and I'm so glad it's going to get the iOS 15 update.
