Given the same price i would pick the air 3 any given day just for the laminated display and thinner profile and slimmer bezels. Im actually keeping my eyes open for deals on the air 3 now that the air 4 is out
I am looking out for the iPad Pro 10.5 for the same reason. A10x with 4GB RAM still trumps A12 with 3GB, not to mention better display, camera and speakers. Only downside is the lack of support for budget Apple Pencil alternatives such as the Logitech crayon
@@aghisakuma there is a famous problem with pro 10.5 that it starts developing a white spot (extra bright spot) just above the home screen.. dude just google it there are dozens of post upon it, you ll know
Spiffy Please just be careful with it 🙏 Mine got bent and I don’t even know when did it happen, but the area around the smart connector is super fragile.
The sales of iPad 2020 must boost incredibly if the fucking screen is improved with no air gap The reason why people are struggling between air 3 or 8 is the screen only I believe people is watching those comparison in order to persuade themselves iPad 8 is enough for them lol
I got the ipad air 3 open box for $419 two weeks ago and I regret nothing. I would have been happy either way but I think that the air 3 was the way to go for me. Laminated Display and slimmer bezels ftw
Yeah. I got the iPad Air 3 last month for $499 with FREE AirPods! I don’t regret it. I bought it as a complement for my laptop since we are having virtual classes in my country at least until December . I’m in high school and it is more than enough for me. It is my first apple product and I absolutely love it.
The ONLY positive I can think of for a non-laminated display is repairability. If the glass breaks but the digitizer part is still good. You can easily replace just the glass for much cheaper.
I'm getting the 8th gen 128GB as my first Apple device. The 64GB Air 3 is a bit expensive in my part of the world where it costs $150 more than the 128GB iPad 8. True Tone, the laminated display and the wider colour gamut do not justify the considerable gap in price + storage FOR ME. So, as long as the 8 has the same A12 chip with a beautiful screen - air gap and all - and it comes with a faster charger I'm fine. Nice video, I'm a new subscriber.
I personally wouldn't sacrifice all that for extra storage. 64GB is still enough for me. So I'd rather pay an extra $50 or whatever, for the Air 3. That said. The iPad 8 is truly a great device too. Much better than the way behind iPad 7, who had the A10 chip.
Let me help you guys. You should go for the Air if you have a good deal and here's why: 1. Air 3 has laminated display which is a big advantage when using a pen. 2. Air 3 has 7mp front cam and the regular ipad has a 1.2mp potato. 3. Air 3 is a bit lighter 4. Air 3 supports bluetooth 5 while the regular Ipad only has 4.2 These are important factors atleast for me. 1.2mp is not capable of transmitting 1080p image during video calls.
Finally a video comparison of this two. 128gb iPad 8th here in our country has the same price now with the base iPad Air 3 (64gb) both brand new. Laminated display plus slimmer bezel and body convinced me to purchase the Air.
I was going to buy an iPad 8 128GB for 469€ in Germany, because 32GB is to less. Then I saw an open box iPad Air 3 64GB on Amazon Warehouse for 439€ and did buy it. My girlfriend will use it for note taking and she has some trouble to look at a screen for a long period, so with True Tone it should be easier and the laminated screen is definitely a plus !
I got an used, refurbished iPad Pro 10.5 with Apple Pencil for400€ and I am happy with that device. Not the newest one but it doesn’t feel old. It has a new battery and is in new condition. I can deal with the 64GB(+50GB iCloud 0.99€/Month) and the A10X. I am from Germany and bought it there aswell. 🙂
funny how i purchased the ipad air 3 after apple announced the ipad 8th and air 4. the laminated display and slimmer bezels makes the ipad air a better investment for me, and i chose the air 3 over air 4 because most of my devices (iphone, airpods) still use lightning cable, apple pencil gen 1 is cheaper and i don't need it as much as i'm a graduating student, and the i personally don't like how they moved touch id to the lock button. loving my ipad air 3 and i'm so happy with my purchase!
Either choice Apple will provide updates and support for nearly a decade. And both chips are advanced enough to deliver enough performance for that decade. It’s awesome.
thanks for this review. I'm pretty tight in budget, so i decided to have a used ipad air 3 for lightroom/photoshop use, reading ebooks and university stuffs. That true tone feature is something i really need.
You could get the Air or Pro then. If you decide to buy something cheap, you have to make compromises, of course. I wanted a cheap iPad with laminated Display but it shouldn’t be toexpensive. I’ve got an refurbished iPad Pro 10.5 2017 with pencil last year for 400€. It has a laminated display, It has 64GB what is no problem for me, and I don’t have the newest processor in there. I had to make compromises and I am happy with my decision. Was never disappointed about it, because I knew, what I can get for the(cheap) Price and what a newer one would costs me.
I just want to put in the reason I will never buy a standard iPad, ever since I’ve used a laminated display, I CAN NOT go back. I also have a 256GB air 3 and it’s become my main computer and sold my MacBook recently
@@moises1228 If you start only with non-lamintated display, it's not actually that bad and perfectly useable (unless you use it for drawing with apple pencil which people said that it's really noticeable, but I didn't draw so can't really comment on that). The thing is after you are accustomed / at least tried the laminated display, you just realize how bad the non-laminated one.
Moises Lorenzo so noticeable I refuse to give it as a present to my mom. I’m looking at sealed airs on eBay for 420 it’s worth the 90 over the base iPad.
Hello! Can anyone please suggest which one is better? I have never use any apple products before. Between air 3 with 64GB and 8th gen with 128GB which one would you suggest? I am a student btw. Thank youuu
same concern, i hope to get an answer with this! idk if i should wait for the 9th gen too. i kinda want the old design of ipad’s so Ipad Air 4 not my option and too much on my budget.
@@feyvrn hiii! I actually have bought mine last year and decided on ipad air 3. However, after a while, i kinda regret it since its only 64GB and the differences between both model are very few. Oh and there is not much difference between the prices of the two in my country. So if the memory space is one of your concern, i definitely suggest you to go for ipad 8th! Or maybe just wait for the 9th 😜
I appreciate the speaker test. I'm always watching movies and listening on the ipad even while taking a shower. A louder speaker comes in handy and a bigger screen. So I may get the Air 3.
Just finished watching your other video, now saw this one just uploaded! Instantly clicked on it! I am a huge fan, and really love your content! Waiting for your iPad Air 4 Review :) Pretty sure this video is gonna be amazing. And I am here at 0 comments (I am not claiming being "first" 😂) 2 views, but I was disappointed to look at 0 likes and 2 dislikes. 😔
If you purchase a refurbished one from the Apple store, the refurbished item will come with a new battery and the option for Apple care as well as a year warranty.
@@prithadas9774 Yea I got one. The non laminated screen is only noticeable if you compare it with the other iPads. The screen quality is amazing. The experience has been amazing as well. I took it mostly for making music(since new ways of making music inspires you to write more) and I was surprised by the quality of apps and games(mainly apple arcade that comes free for 3 months) apple has. I used to hate apple lol but you cant go wrong with the iPad 8 :)
I want to buy an iPad Air 3, but there are a lot of people who own an iPad Air 3 who say that the iPad Air 3 has a problem with touching the screen. Is this real?
Really, really great video man. Thank you for not plugging your own channel too hard, and for getting right into the nitty gritty of what we need to expect in the differences of these two devices. I just pulled this up before I walked into the store to go look at ipads, and you answered all of my questions satisfactorily (Southpark reference for those who catch it). Nicely done! I rarely sub to tech channels but you earned it.
I am happy with my iPad Pro 10.5 with the A10X. I am using it for 1 year now and it’s still as fast as a new Generation iPad for the things I’m using it. I don’t need Video Cut or some high performance things. I sold my Samsung Tab S4 for this and I never missed anything of the Samsung Tab.
Definitely go for the 128g its really bad when you run out of storage. I said the same thing to a friend and he got the 64g and now he is complaining constantly about not having enough storage
@TECHTORMA I just went for the 256 gig and never look back. It also really depends on what you're going to use it for I use it for making music and I have a lot of files
So I just watched this video and went right away to the Apple store and got the iPad Air 3 NEW + Airpods 2 with the education promotion. This is a better value I think, right? Especially that I might just sell the airpods for 150 or 145 and save on the price of the iPad.
So I just sold the airpods for 200 CAD. That means that with tax included, I paid 50 CAD more to get the iPad Air (500 vs 450 CAD). which is around 38 USD. So $38 for a slightly bigger and laminated display, 64 GB storage vs 32 and a better front camera is not a bad deal. Although I really wanted the new faster charger.. But I am happy with my choice nonetheless.
I think one problem with having laminated displays as an upsell is that most people have no idea what that means, even though the user experience is markedly improved by it.
Can anyone tell me, is there really a big difference btwn laminated and non laminated display , or it is unnoticeable?? I haven't used either of them, so i dont knw anything.
Picked up a 128gb 8th Gen on offer for £360 in the UK, the bezel issue doesn’t make any difference for me as this is a secondary device. The air gap/non laminated display is not an issue as I only use Pencil for note taking. 8th gen is a great device, plenty of discounts out there if you look, which makes it really exceptional value.
Bro if u search too harshly I saw it written somewhere on sources that the life of air Due to its better screen and better build, is 2.5 years more than a normal ipad , the ipad air also has a better cooling system , a bigger battery and all into a thin aesthetic build , So go for ipad air , don't give a second thought to it Thank Me Later 🙄😉😁
Thanks for the video and removing my confusions. I don’t want to compromise features in IPad Air 3 for 64gb extra memory in IPad 8 so going with IPad Air 64 gb which is a good enough memory.
Thank you so much for this comparation, I got the iPad 8th gen 128GB, because I will usually use it for work, basic stuff and travel (not for now due to the pandemic) but I was thinking on getting the iPad Air 3rd gen or the newer one nothingless, I really love my purchase decision because I still have the option to do amateur photo, video editing and more, and still use that money on buying iPad accessories, apps and save money for the next iPhone 12. And let's see if next year I will get the iPad Air series.
At Best Buy the 64GB Air 3 is the same price as the 128GB iPad 8th gen. If I don’t need a ton of storage, is the Air the better deal? Spec wise, it seems so. Thanks for any thoughts
The iPad Air 2019 is My First iPad and i am 44 years old🙈 A Long time i Look comparsions of Any iPad, iPad vs Samsung, iPad vs iPad and on and on. But i think as a noob, When you Buy a new IPad the iPad Air 2019 is the way to go. Its in the middle of the new iPad 8 and the new iPad Air 4. And the Price is 100$ More then the 8 But 100-140$ less the new iPad Air. For me Personal the iPad Air 3 ist the perfekt iPad.
i was actually expecting a performance review from you since you already compared the ipad 7th gen vs the ipad 8th gen. Please make a video comparing the ipad air 3 vs ipad 8th gen performance wise like gaming, note taking and video editing
Just got the 8 in a early black friday promo by apple store, right now the price gap between the ipad 8 and the air 3 is close to 200usd in my country!!! It'll bee my first apple in years because the last one was an used powerbook. Believe it was a good choice, the closest price option was the Samsung Tab 6.
Once I fell for that "ipad/tablet replaces your laptop" thing and I regreted it a lot in the middle of the semester... Tablets in general are only good for watching UA-cam and Netflix. Period
Tablets will not fully replace a laptop, maybe in the near future, but not yet. But did you owned an iPad Pro or Tab S6/S7? These ones are much closer to replace a laptop, but still would not fully replace a laptop.
The budget 329 dollar iPad is a slightly flawed product. Why? Because the base variant offers a measly 32 GB, which obviously nobody is going to spend their money on. The 128 GB version is 100 dollars more at 429. On the other hand, the 2019 iPad Air 3 64GB model, which has a far superior display, laminated glass and PCI 3 color gamut + True Tone, is about the same cost as the 128 GB budget iPad variant. So why would anyone in their right mind invest their money in the budget iPad when they can actually go for the Air 3?! 🤷♂️
Everybody seems to have forgotten about the 3rd gen ipad 3 with 10.5" ...except Noah. Thanks for the review. Compared to the 10.2" ipad or the 10.9" air or the 11" pro the 10.5" looks like an awesome deal.
I'm a college student, and I take digital notes with my tab S6 lite, which I went with over the base level iPad because of that nasty airgap on the iPad. It's a shame, because iPad OS is so much nicer then android on a tablet. Solid vid.
@@hehehehe6179 The performance on the tab s6 lite is not great, but it gets the job done. The design is sleek and modern, and the build quality is amazing for the price. The stylus performance is great, better then the base iPad (base iPad has an Airgap) but not as good as the iPad air 3. Battery is amazing. I would say if you want to do any gaming or use chrome a ton, get an iPad. But if you take digital notes and want a nice modern design and are ok with just passable performance, get the Tab S6 Lite. Hope that helped. Good Luck!
The iPad 8 is fine for me. The last good iPad is air 3 in my opinion, just because of the headphone jack. I’ll pick one up when they come down even more. The more they keep adding the worse it gets for me, just more things to go wrong and more features that many people wouldn’t even use.
Another difference would be the battery life, I don’t know big of a difference it would make but the 10.2 would have better battery life for sure. It has the same processor as the Air but the battery is bigger in the 10.2.
Bought the 8th gen in 2021, unaware that the air 3 existed. It's a good device, but 32gb isn't enough and the laminated display would probably be better since I bought it for Procreate
Hi Noah - i want iPad just for note taking and surfing purpose or sometime watching videos online, is 64 GB enough for note taking purpose & storing pdf, Which is my primary purpose. Which one should I buy? Laminated 64 or Non Laminated 128. B'caz I m getting new Air 3 not used one. That's why...
I want to buy an iPad Air 3, but there are a lot of people who own an iPad Air 3 who say that the iPad Air 3 has a problem with touching the screen. Is this real?
I don’t get why everyone complains about 32 GB storage... I have 2018 iPad in 32G and it’s fine. Enough for all my social media apps, language learning, financial, productivity, shopping and even PUBG. Yeah, if you start storing movies on your iPad, you’ll run out, but for me, the iPad is a supplement to both my phone and my computer, so it doesn’t have to store everything. Apple is smart to start it at 32 GB because that helps keep the price down and keep iPad more accessible to everyone. And I would take the chip upgrade to A12 over memory upgrade any day IMO
Dude.. It's a non laminated display, not a non laminated screen lmao. There's a hollow space between the display and the screen glass in the base iPad.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO COMPARES THIS
The comparison we all need!! Thank you
Deadass been trying to find a comparison for a week

I am looking out for the iPad Pro 10.5 for the same reason. A10x with 4GB RAM still trumps A12 with 3GB, not to mention better display, camera and speakers. Only downside is the lack of support for budget Apple Pencil alternatives such as the Logitech crayon

Let me help you guys. You should go for the Air if you have a good deal and here's why:
1. Air 3 has laminated display which is a big advantage when using a pen.
2. Air 3 has 7mp front cam and the regular ipad has a 1.2mp potato.
3. Air 3 is a bit lighter
4. Air 3 supports bluetooth 5 while the regular Ipad only has 4.2
These are important factors atleast for me. 1.2mp is not capable of transmitting 1080p image during video calls.
it's not a bit lighter, it's alot lighter.
iPad Air 3 i recommend cause mine is already 2 years old now and it works
Awesome !
It's the lightest class of iPads for It's size.

Definitely go for the 128g its really bad when you run out of storage. I said the same thing to a friend and he got the 64g and now he is complaining constantly about not having enough storage
@TECHTORMA I prefer to keep it on the iPad personally because if you haven't got any internet you haven't got any files.
@TECHTORMA I just went for the 256 gig and never look back. It also really depends on what you're going to use it for I use it for making music and I have a lot of files
Which one did you choose?
@@JasleenKaur-io1us I ended up going for the 12.9 2nd generation 250gb.
This should be most liked tech VDO on UA-cam 😃 iwas very eager for this
So I just watched this video and went right away to the Apple store and got the iPad Air 3 NEW + Airpods 2 with the education promotion. This is a better value I think, right? Especially that I might just sell the airpods for 150 or 145 and save on the price of the iPad.
I am in Canada though. Not sure if you can do this in the US. I assume you can.
So I just sold the airpods for 200 CAD. That means that with tax included, I paid 50 CAD more to get the iPad Air (500 vs 450 CAD). which is around 38 USD. So $38 for a slightly bigger and laminated display, 64 GB storage vs 32 and a better front camera is not a bad deal. Although I really wanted the new faster charger.. But I am happy with my choice nonetheless.
@@ABStuff well done! 👏🏼 I prefer the iPad Mini and Air over the original iPad.
I think one problem with having laminated displays as an upsell is that most people have no idea what that means, even though the user experience is markedly improved by it.
FINALLYYYYYY I NEEDED THISSS
You are extremely helpful ....Any new iPads are great. Any of the new ones offered today are great. I love your style of presenting Sir.
i have been waiting for this comparison
Can anyone tell me, is there really a big difference btwn laminated and non laminated display , or it is unnoticeable?? I haven't used either of them, so i dont knw anything.
Laminated is better
كانت أجمل صدفه اني دخلت قناتك (مبدع) It was the most beautiful coincidence that I entered your channel (creator)
Great video as always Noah. Loving the depth from this angle
in this video you've answering all my questions. thanks for that. my decision: ipad air!
Picked up a 128gb 8th Gen on offer for £360 in the UK, the bezel issue doesn’t make any difference for me as this is a secondary device. The air gap/non laminated display is not an issue as I only use Pencil for note taking. 8th gen is a great device, plenty of discounts out there if you look, which makes it really exceptional value.
is the offer still on?
U such a life saver, this video helped me a lot.
Keep going 👏👏👏I think u gonna hit the 1m sub very soon ❤❤❤❤
Bro I’ve been struggling with this question ever since they dropped the 8th Gen. do I get a 128 iPad 8th Gen or a 64 iPad Air 3rd Gen LEGEND
Air
Bro if u search too harshly
I saw it written somewhere on sources that the life of air
Due to its better screen and better build, is 2.5 years more than a normal ipad , the ipad air also has a better cooling system , a bigger battery and all into a thin aesthetic build ,
So go for ipad air , don't give a second thought to it
Thank Me Later 🙄😉😁
Air
Mathu Campbell air. It’s a wonderful device
Air
My iPad Pro 9.7” 1st works great! Other than the size, I doubt most people would be able to tell a difference.
an also Air has DCI-P3 display while 8th does not have it.
Plus the Air 3 supports Dolby Vision videos standard thanks to the better screen specs
That’s not a deciding factor.
Yess
I’m finally writing this comment with my new ipad 8 🤣🤣🤣
Which device you buy 32 GB or 256 ..
I want to buy ipad for gaming and making video's on UA-cam.
thank you i was litterally gonna the ipad 8 over the air 3
Finally the video I wanted.
I don't know if it's me but this video in itself is aesthetically pleasing
Excellent comparison 🔥👍
Love from India 🇮🇳
still confused which one to get bcs im gonna be drawing a lot and that requires both storage and the laminated screen thingy 🤨🥴
Definitely go for air 3.
Kinda early. I absolutely love this channel thooo
Thanks for the video and removing my confusions. I don’t want to compromise features in IPad Air 3 for 64gb extra memory in IPad 8 so going with IPad Air 64 gb which is a good enough memory.
Thank you so much for this comparation,
I got the iPad 8th gen 128GB, because I will usually use it for work, basic stuff and travel (not for now due to the pandemic) but I was thinking on getting the iPad Air 3rd gen or the newer one nothingless, I really love my purchase decision because I still have the option to do amateur photo, video editing and more, and still use that money on buying iPad accessories, apps and save money for the next iPhone 12.
And let's see if next year I will get the iPad Air series.
Any difference while using pencil? Which is better for taking notes,?
At Best Buy the 64GB Air 3 is the same price as the 128GB iPad 8th gen. If I don’t need a ton of storage, is the Air the better deal? Spec wise, it seems so. Thanks for any thoughts
The iPad Air 3 is the better tablet. It's very similar but has features the 9th gen iPad won't have.
I see this video on my iPad Air 3, 2023 is the best and economy device
Thanks brother for listening the request of video ❤
The iPad Air 2019 is My First iPad and i am 44 years old🙈
A Long time i Look comparsions of Any iPad, iPad vs Samsung, iPad vs iPad and on and on.
But i think as a noob, When you Buy a new IPad the iPad Air 2019 is the way to go.
Its in the middle of the new iPad 8 and the new iPad Air 4.
And the Price is 100$ More then the 8 But 100-140$ less the new iPad Air.
For me Personal the iPad Air 3 ist the perfekt iPad.
i was actually expecting a performance review from you since you already compared the ipad 7th gen vs the ipad 8th gen. Please make a video comparing the ipad air 3 vs ipad 8th gen performance wise like gaming, note taking and video editing
Dude they have the same processor
@@Queeshandle Yes I know that but its better to see how each one performs in each model to make an informed decision when buying 😁
Yep same problem 🙏
@@Queeshandlereally?
Just got the 8 in a early black friday promo by apple store, right now the price gap between the ipad 8 and the air 3 is close to 200usd in my country!!! It'll bee my first apple in years because the last one was an used powerbook. Believe it was a good choice, the closest price option was the Samsung Tab 6.
Yesss... I was wondering when you gonna upload on these new gems ❤️
Thanks for this. You make the most helpful videos
Been waiting for this!! thanks mah guy
Once I fell for that "ipad/tablet replaces your laptop" thing and I regreted it a lot in the middle of the semester... Tablets in general are only good for watching UA-cam and Netflix. Period
So can you explain limitations and why they don’t work as laptops? Thanks
Tablets will not fully replace a laptop, maybe in the near future, but not yet. But did you owned an iPad Pro or Tab S6/S7? These ones are much closer to replace a laptop, but still would not fully replace a laptop.
Brilliant comparison, just what I needed. Subbed.
Finally someone who compared
Thank u brother
The budget 329 dollar iPad is a slightly flawed product. Why? Because the base variant offers a measly 32 GB, which obviously nobody is going to spend their money on. The 128 GB version is 100 dollars more at 429. On the other hand, the 2019 iPad Air 3 64GB model, which has a far superior display, laminated glass and PCI 3 color gamut + True Tone, is about the same cost as the 128 GB budget iPad variant. So why would anyone in their right mind invest their money in the budget iPad when they can actually go for the Air 3?! 🤷♂️
Thank you for this!!! Going for the 8th gen!
This was a great comparison, thanks!
Everybody seems to have forgotten about the 3rd gen ipad 3 with 10.5" ...except Noah. Thanks for the review. Compared to the 10.2" ipad or the 10.9" air or the 11" pro the 10.5" looks like an awesome deal.
Great video, informational. Thanks man.
iPad Air 3 is still great and it's powerful. I might get iPad Air 4 ✌
Tech1Tv I got iPad Pro 4
@@rbxtal8070 I got iPad Mini 5
Actually the original iPad air had a 9.7 display. It wasn't until the iPad 7 that was released 2019 was the first iPad that had a 10.2 display.
I love this guy always does mad vids
I'm a college student, and I take digital notes with my tab S6 lite, which I went with over the base level iPad because of that nasty airgap on the iPad. It's a shame, because iPad OS is so much nicer then android on a tablet. Solid vid.
Hi! Justt wanna ask, does your S6 work well? Im still contemplating between S6, air 3 and 8th gen 😩
@@hehehehe6179 The performance on the tab s6 lite is not great, but it gets the job done. The design is sleek and modern, and the build quality is amazing for the price. The stylus performance is great, better then the base iPad (base iPad has an Airgap) but not as good as the iPad air 3. Battery is amazing. I would say if you want to do any gaming or use chrome a ton, get an iPad. But if you take digital notes and want a nice modern design and are ok with just passable performance, get the Tab S6 Lite. Hope that helped. Good Luck!
And not to do any self promoting, but I did do a video on the tab s6 lite's notetaking abilities on my channel.
Thanks for the comparison.its really helpful
Great topic!
The iPad 8 is fine for me. The last good iPad is air 3 in my opinion, just because of the headphone jack. I’ll pick one up when they come down even more. The more they keep adding the worse it gets for me, just more things to go wrong and more features that many people wouldn’t even use.
just got the Air 3 on sale for $349! big, big difference from the budget iPad. which i’m thankful i didn’t go for hahaha
Ik this is hella late but where did u get it from
Imma get iPad 8 128GB
I ordered 128GB iPad 8 off Amazon and it arrived today. It’s really nice.
Another difference would be the battery life, I don’t know big of a difference it would make but the 10.2 would have better battery life for sure. It has the same processor as the Air but the battery is bigger in the 10.2.
Ken88 but in real world usage the 10.2 will last longer since it has a bigger battery.
Ken88 but it has the same chip as the iPad Air, so they would both use the same amount of power.
I want it for my little daughter the IPad 8th thanks for this video
Bought the 8th gen in 2021, unaware that the air 3 existed. It's a good device, but 32gb isn't enough and the laminated display would probably be better since I bought it for Procreate
Have been waiting for this comparison.
And would like Ipad 8 to Air 4
Strong year for the iPad
Snagged a 1yr used Air 3 for 266$ in mint condition. I love it ❤️
Hi Noah - i want iPad just for note taking and surfing purpose or sometime watching videos online, is 64 GB enough for note taking purpose & storing pdf, Which is my primary purpose. Which one should I buy? Laminated 64 or Non Laminated 128. B'caz I m getting new Air 3 not used one. That's why...
Do a comparison of iPad Air 3 vs iPad Air 4
I love my air 2”3 and I still haven’t watch this vid but I can say it’s better then this cheaper
I want to buy an iPad Air 3, but there are a lot of people who own an iPad Air 3 who say that the iPad Air 3 has a problem with touching the screen. Is this real?
@@mjtbaalzady5891 Nope
For real? Im afraid of same thing.....
@@shivampokale NO NO NO THE IPAD AOR 3 DOESN’T HAVE ANY ISSUES NON WHAT SO EVER
I don’t get why everyone complains about 32 GB storage... I have 2018 iPad in 32G and it’s fine. Enough for all my social media apps, language learning, financial, productivity, shopping and even PUBG. Yeah, if you start storing movies on your iPad, you’ll run out, but for me, the iPad is a supplement to both my phone and my computer, so it doesn’t have to store everything. Apple is smart to start it at 32 GB because that helps keep the price down and keep iPad more accessible to everyone. And I would take the chip upgrade to A12 over memory upgrade any day IMO
Get the 128gb 8th gen model
Rly? Laminated screen? Just buy a screen protector with it and your screen is protected.
Dude..
It's a non laminated display, not a non laminated screen lmao. There's a hollow space between the display and the screen glass in the base iPad.
