My favourite is the iPad mini by far. The only thing I don't understand is it's weird pricing. If the pricing is right, the iPad mini's form factor is very lucrative.
@@karanveersinghdulku ?? Price is right!. It’s the same price as it was 3 years ago so cheaper today thanks to inflation … and with 2XRAM and 2X storage and last year’s top mobile processor. Price reduction, and dramatically better technology.
@@deon.zoldyck the list price is 499 but we’re already seeing discount to 399 here in the US from Amazon, warehouse store called Costco, and it will be that price in many other places all throughout the Black Friday holiday. From time to time.
My iPad M1 Pro 256GB LTE, which I got when it was first released, is still my go-to device for everything from waking up in the morning to going to bed. I use it for media, meetings, at times as my stereo, and all the other things I can do on an iPad. It’s amazing that I used 71GB of storage and that my battery health is still at 89%. 😊❤
I’m getting the M2 iPad Pro 13 inch. I’m still currently rockin my 3rd Gen iPad Pro 12.9. My phone is the 13 Pro Max 256GB an my battery health maximum capacity is at 87% which is incredible especially from getting it on release day.
Thank you! I bought my first iPad mini few weeks ago. A bit weird, it’s smaller, but quite useful and enjoyable for reading and consumption. It’s also practical, I brought it everywhere while my iPad Pro 11” just stay at home.
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the incredible content you put out! Your channel is an absolute treasure for tech enthusiasts like me. Keep up the amazing work🎉
Just upgraded from the 2019 5th Gen iPad Mini to the new 7th Gen. it’s the form factor that works for me, and really complements my Product Red iPhone 13 Mini. Thanks for the content.
@@mariewood8372I’d say 5th to 7th is the perfect upgrade. You’ll obviously need a new case. I went with an ESR one. Hoping the Apple Pencil Pro gets discounted on Black Friday 🤞
I kinda disagree about the ipad 10th gen. The base model comes with a 64GB of storage, this isn’t enough whether you’re a student, a grandma, an iPad kid - soon you’ll find yourself removing apps or using cloud which isn’t very comfortable. When you expand the storage to 256GB, the price becomes comparable to the 128GB iPad Air. The lack of a laminated display is a very significant problem for note-takers who want a paper-like feel. A gap between the screen and the display makes your notes feel “distant” in a way. The base iPad is designed this way for schools to be able to repair it for cheaper, but it’s not the most user friendly design. Moreover, the base iPad is more than 2 years old now, there being talks of iPad 11th gen already. It also uses an iPhone 12 chip. These are significant compromises as the base iPad isn’t as future-proof. On the other hand, the iPad Air uses m2, a computer chip, with double the amount of cores. For someone who wants to invest in an iPad for the long term, iPad Air is a better choice.
@@wandersonfreitasfilho5122 If 64GB is enough for a person, and if that person doesn't need the Air's specific features like screen sharing or the pencil pro, I agree that it might be the better choice with its price. 350 dollars is really good, and that yellow looks gorgeous. However, as a student who gets distracted by the most minor things, putting the data for my tablet in another device, would become a chore for me.
@@yippiecalle421 well i'm getting the 10th gen for xmas, so can't really hold out for the 11th gen, which is supposed to be released spring 2025.....quite disappointing they didn't release it this year.
For me 1. ipad 10th gen: for light usage on GPU and CPU plus max visibility: Grandfather, Grandmother, Teenagers 2. ipad mini : for maximum portability requirement with excellent performance. Children @ home and long trip travelers 3. ipad Air 11" or 13": For powerful gaming and almost everything you through at it. College Students, Presentations in any job, data collection during any job,...etc 4. ipad pro 11" or 13": The ultimate ipad money can buy: Serious demanding content creators (requiring Multiple video and audio streams with tons of filters applied). Huge coding projects requiring shorter compilation times, Huge CAD designs for manufacturing and simulations requiring huge amount of RAM like 8GB
Thank you for this breakdown. This was helpful. I have an 8 year old and was trying to decide between the 10 gen and the iPad Air 11. The Air 11 is a couple hundred more. Do you still recommend the iPad 10 Gen?
@@TiffanyShanell new iPad gen 11 is about to roll out in around March 2025. Wait it out... Maybe it's much better than 10 or they might drop price for gen 10 🤷♂️
I think the mini has the best, most comfortable size. Unless you have to use your device specifically for something that requires a big screen, there will be hardly any advantage with a big screen but many advantages with a smaller 8.3 inch screen which is still much bigger than a phone screen.
The iPad mini can be found for $400 in the US. Taking price out of consideration, it is still the best all rounder in my opinion. It can do most of the things you want an iPad to do, in a size you actually want to use. I’ve had the 11” and 12.9” Pro, but I have only used the Mini consistently. My only caveat is if I were a student, I’d probably go with the 12.9” for screen real estate.
But on the other hand, it's really not bigger than a Pro Max phone when it comes to media consumption, so if that's your purpose then the mini feels borderline irrelevant.
@@jmilesfox He literally shows a side by side in this video... when consuming regular sized content (e.g. UA-cam, movies etc), the aspect ratio renders the extra screen estate pretty much pointless. Just gives you bigger black bars top and bottom.
@ In all fairness I have not watched the video in a month… To me it made more of a difference than it’s being made out to be. I used the mini at home a lot more.
I just got another 10th gen for Xmas cause mine is a massive hit at my house. My children love playing Roblox on it, for me, the only thing that’s missing is Apple intelligence so I’ll be waiting on the 11th gen to get a third iPad 😊
@@Rinnara21 hey, i wish they would release it before xmas, would be nice to have one that last's a lot longer in terms of power with the new chip that's coming. but i guess I will have to settle with the 10th
As a bro who's either gaming, editing videos for fun, and drawing. I find that the 11inch Air is great. It didn't go over my budget and fulfilled all my needs and excelled at it. But yea the M2 is enough to support my hobbies and productivity. And tbh if ur just looking to consume media base model is my pick.
The thing I never hear ppl talk about with storage is that you can literally just buy an external hard-drive to store more stuff. So i wouldn’t worry about internal storage that much
There's a threshold of storage that actually matters. If you're someone who needs quick access to his important files without further hassle, low storage options such as 64GB might not be enough. Especially for people who need a tablet for academic purposes. It sucks how much Apple capitalizes on this need though.
True but you cannot use it for the apps that can take a lot of storage, so I still consider it, 64gb is not enough anymore, even with an extra hard-drive
@@emilie9269 Yeah, I don’t even use many apps on my 128GB Air M2, and only use it for my classes, but I already have used 30GB’s of storage. 128GB is going to be barely enough long term, 64GB would not be.
I see so many people buy the pro or the air when all they are going to do is stream videos and surf the web. They don’t understand that even the most basic iPads will do 95 percent of what the pros do and 99 percent of people will never use that 5%. A lot of this has to do with tech bros who are producing video content. THEY need the power of the pros. Their grandma does not. I’m still using a 7th gen ipad for business and it does everything I need and more.
I’m an artist /illustrator. And am updating my iPad Air 3 to a pro gen 3 Unless you’re doing it for your craft I don’t get why people buy pros I thought those iPad were made specifically for designers.
I just upgraded from the ipad 7th gen to the 10th gen, and the difference is noticeable. I went for the base model and bought a logitech slim folio or how it is called, just because of the back-lit keyboard.
Thank you so much for being my favorite tech UA-camrs. I watch many content creators that cover tech but you really stand out. Part could be the accent. 😝
Thanks for this quick analysis. I bought the original 10th GEN earlier today and this video confirmed my decision in terms of value for money. I sold my iPad a number of years ago so anything recent is better than what I had before.
I still have my iPad gen 2 or 3 so this video helped me out on thinking about getting a new iPad I still haven't decided which one to get but I'll use this video to remind me of what kinds of iPads are out there thanks for the video and keep up the good work may your 2025 bring you peace and joy.
This is such a great video. It is exactly & literally what I needed to know and was hoping would exist cause I’m trying to buy one. I never compliment or write stuff like this, but the video you gave us is amazing.
This was a great video! Thank you. I was trying to justify buying the new mini for planning purposes but based on your video I think I’m gonna go with the 10 generation - especially since I already own the new pro 13 inch!
Thanks for this video! I want to get an iPad for note-taking at work, but also for watching videos on planes and some casual stuff, so after watching this video I'm just going to go for the base model iPad 10th generation with the pencil, and I can always get an anti-glare screen protector. Excited about getting one soon!
A better solution for the nano textured screen would be a paper like screen protector. The nano textured ipads are more targeted towards artists or illustrators who need to draw a lot. And the hover feature is incredible! I’m just not sure that the ipad air 6 has that function like the previous ipad air though.
I haven’t had a new ipad since ipad gen6 , and recently went for an ipad pro 13 i know it’s more expensive and i do plan on using it for work. Could i have gotten a lesser expensive base ipad yes but i figured i only live once so wanted to try the higher end at least once lol thanks for sharing enjoyed the review
Another great video, Tech Chap. I’ve been continuously tempted to buy a new iPad Pro ever since it first came out with the M1 chip. However, other than a dying battery that I’m going to replace, my 2018 iPad Pro (12.9” screen, 512GB, cell, Logitech keyboard case, and Apple Pencil 2), which cost about US $1,800 still performs flawlessly. It even runs iPad OS 18.1 (with some limitations, obviously).
I have a brand new iPad Air 11”. I love it. The downside is that it needs the Apple Pencil pro. Had to buy one for $100. I traded in my 13” iPad Pro gen 2. $185 trade in but I get an email a few days later saying the trade in value was being adjusted to $0.
Watching on my 9th gen iPad I also got an Apple Pencil idk gen but it works and this is the best performance I have so far planning to upgrade to 10 gen cuz of Bessels In maybe mid 2026 or so
I use my iPad essentially for reading, browsing, watching UA-cam, tv shows and movies. Some emails checking. I’m still good with the M1 11” Pro, but I would like to go to the 13” Air.
Funny how its different strokes... The laminated screen is huge for me, almost feels like the difference between reading a book and trying to read the telly. Proper airgap-phobe
Thanks for a great review and comparison. I’ve been using my 1st Gen iPad Pro, every day, for over 8 years now. I have been looking at the 13” Air and, as I don’t upgrade often, I’m looking for longevity. I’ll be going for the 13” Air 512Gb Wi-Fi very soon! Then save up for the keyboard…
Went to an Authorized Reseller of Apple Products here in my country and just find the Mini so expensive. So buy the 10th gen. It basically do most of the Pro's can do and the Air's without leaving any massive damage to my pocket.
I don't know where apple has left itself to go with the iPad and apple intelligence? The A17Pro seems like the lowest chip that can support Apple Intelligence and they've already used it in the mini. I can't see them releasing the 11th gen iPad without it so maybe the M1...?
People overlook that cellular iPads also have GPS. There's a huge difference between cellular or not when you need to use it for directions. I will only buy cellular models now andha ethe Mini 7th gen as well as the M2 iPad Air 11".
I’m not sure this will average a lot of views for you compared to other videos that you make because basically they’re all the same but the mini is smaller. I say this as an owner of a pro, an air and a base model.
@ stage manager is good for niche cases like running two financial apps side by side and switching to another set of like apps. You would absolutely have to buy the newest pro M4 to have good sunlight handling on an iPad. There is no second best option. It’s the double panel OLED that does brightness. You could try to find the mini LED 2022 model next it’s lower.
I got an M2 Air new for £509 and I’m happy with it. I mostly use it for comics and media consumption. My laptop needs are very basic, so it does the job there (just) with stage manager, too.
Same, I rarely used my laptop ever since I got the M2 Air 11 inch Cellular. I mainly consume media, business meetings, write emails, and sign documents on the iPad, I don't play games at all. I thought about the iPad Mini but honestly keyboard is a necessity for me, so the 11 inch Air is just the right size to always be in my backpack as my workhorse device.
I think the 10th gen for most people with the 128gb. The iPad Air is what I am looking at, the 13” with 256gb. I have the 1st gen pro now, a 12.9”. I got this one for under $400 with the keyboard and pencil many years ago and am just now looking to update. Primarily for the M2 chip to run a golf simulator. I did get the iPad mini 4 way back new for $299 new at Best Buy. I like the mini when traveling and the Pro at home or in the office. I rarely use my iPad Air 1 anymore. I think it’s a 9.7”.
Here My Story Why ipad mini 7 is King!! B ought an ipad pro 11 m4 sadly due to PWM it causes headache and eyestrain, which no one talks about . So oled is a big no unless its xiaomi which doesnt have this issue which is weird. Ended up buying m2 ipad then its too heavy decided had a leap of faith and bought an ipad mini 7 cellular I must Say its the most perfect device Ever made.its like having a phone… I play wuthering wave, warzone mobile, social media and netflix machine Every single day i also use this to schedule my patients
He speaks of using it for reading. If you read a lot, nothing is close to a kindle paper-white. The paper-white does nothing except give the best reading experience, and isn't expensive. I use a Samsung for everything else, simply because I can add a terabyte memory card and watch movies without wifi or cellular. I also have a paper-white that I use daily, and the battery on it tends to last weeks.
So if I want to update and a bigger screen I would go for the 10th gen or Air '13. Otherwise I'd go for the mini 7. But I still have the mini 5 and the ancient 10.5 Pro which are still great. I watch content in the Pro while I game in the Mini. For everything else, I'm still using my 14 pro max. Great expensive system, what else can I say.

Great in depth video and very sensible selection in the end
This is such a great video. It is exactly & literally what I needed to know and was hoping would exist cause I’m trying to buy one. I never compliment or write stuff like this, but the video you gave us is amazing.
This was a great video! Thank you. I was trying to justify buying the new mini for planning purposes but based on your video I think I’m gonna go with the 10 generation - especially since I already own the new pro 13 inch!
Great comparison, thank you
Thanks for the feedback!
Got the 11 in pro… at the end of the day it is and still will be a tablet.😂
my reason for getting the base ipad 10th generation
Excellent review thanks
Awesome! Appreciate the feedback (these things take ages to make!)
Superb review! Thank you
0:05 Tom casually using the force to stop the pencils!
😉
Thanks for this video! I want to get an iPad for note-taking at work, but also for watching videos on planes and some casual stuff, so after watching this video I'm just going to go for the base model iPad 10th generation with the pencil, and I can always get an anti-glare screen protector. Excited about getting one soon!
What a wicked video man!
Thank you!
A better solution for the nano textured screen would be a paper like screen protector. The nano textured ipads are more targeted towards artists or illustrators who need to draw a lot. And the hover feature is incredible! I’m just not sure that the ipad air 6 has that function like the previous ipad air though.
I haven’t had a new ipad since ipad gen6 , and recently went for an ipad pro 13 i know it’s more expensive and i do plan on using it for work. Could i have gotten a lesser expensive base ipad yes but i figured i only live once so wanted to try the higher end at least once lol thanks for sharing enjoyed the review
great video..please make similar video about iphones
Another great video, Tech Chap. I’ve been continuously tempted to buy a new iPad Pro ever since it first came out with the M1 chip. However, other than a dying battery that I’m going to replace, my 2018 iPad Pro (12.9” screen, 512GB, cell, Logitech keyboard case, and Apple Pencil 2), which cost about US $1,800 still performs flawlessly. It even runs iPad OS 18.1 (with some limitations, obviously).
Manifesting 10th Gen iPad for my studies 🥹
Those wallpapers are sick! Where to get them!?😊
I have a brand new iPad Air 11”. I love it. The downside is that it needs the Apple Pencil pro. Had to buy one for $100. I traded in my 13” iPad Pro gen 2. $185 trade in but I get an email a few days later saying the trade in value was being adjusted to $0.
Excellent overview
Just bought the 13in pro. I love it for planning and note taking.
you going to get the apple pencil?
@@btominthewind yeah I have the pro pencil. It’s nice
Was just watching your early January video and this got recommended.
Watching it back to back was crazy dejavu 😅
I’m getting the 10th gen for Christmas
Watching on my 9th gen iPad I also got an Apple Pencil idk gen but it works and this is the best performance I have so far planning to upgrade to 10 gen cuz of Bessels In maybe mid 2026 or so
18:06 the new screen is much better for picture or video editing especially in reference mode😮
I’m an artist and I’m thinking of upgrading by base model 7th gen for the 11 inch air 🤩
I love my 9th generation - use it every day, including right now.
Thanks, great video!
I upgraded to the 11 inch m4 from the first gen iPad Pro 9.7 and its a HUGE difference
I use my iPad essentially for reading, browsing, watching UA-cam, tv shows and movies. Some emails checking. I’m still good with the M1 11” Pro, but I would like to go to the 13” Air.
Thank you this helped a lot
Funny how its different strokes... The laminated screen is huge for me, almost feels like the difference between reading a book and trying to read the telly. Proper airgap-phobe
Thanks for a great review and comparison. I’ve been using my 1st Gen iPad Pro, every day, for over 8 years now. I have been looking at the 13” Air and, as I don’t upgrade often, I’m looking for longevity. I’ll be going for the 13” Air 512Gb Wi-Fi very soon! Then save up for the keyboard…
I just watched your video where Mimi wasnt updated, i think you edited the same video 😄 btw helpful
I think so to😂😂😂
I have the iPad 10 gen it does everything amazing
Nice vid.👍,keep up the great work👍💪❤.
i have 9 gen and use it for work and is great
I still have an 8th gen I sometimes use and it really holds up!
Went to an Authorized Reseller of Apple Products here in my country and just find the Mini so expensive. So buy the 10th gen. It basically do most of the Pro's can do and the Air's without leaving any massive damage to my pocket.
It feels like I have seen this intro before 🤣
I don't know where apple has left itself to go with the iPad and apple intelligence? The A17Pro seems like the lowest chip that can support Apple Intelligence and they've already used it in the mini. I can't see them releasing the 11th gen iPad without it so maybe the M1...?
What a great video! If i use FCP or da Vinci resolve should I go with the Pro?
Thanks! For video editing, I'd suggest the Pro for more accurate colours and extra power
Where’d you get those wallpapers? They look so cool!
People overlook that cellular iPads also have GPS. There's a huge difference between cellular or not when you need to use it for directions. I will only buy cellular models now andha ethe Mini 7th gen as well as the M2 iPad Air 11".
0:58 this rlly disrespected my IPad 9th gen ,my iPad is sad😢
Cool stuff sir
Is this a re-upload? Cause I've seen this exact same video a week ago as well
used the old video segments with a new section for the new mini
iPad 10th gen (64gb) is on sale on several US sites including Amazon and Target for $299 as of this comment
$250 on amazon right now
I just upgraded to a 10th gen from a 1st gen pro and only because my 1st gen pro’s battery finally stopped holding a charge for more than 20 minutes.
I’m not sure this will average a lot of views for you compared to other videos that you make because basically they’re all the same but the mini is smaller. I say this as an owner of a pro, an air and a base model.
Please which is best to get ? How important is stage manager for multitasking ? And which of them has better useability under sunlight
@ stage manager is good for niche cases like running two financial apps side by side and switching to another set of like apps. You would absolutely have to buy the newest pro M4 to have good sunlight handling on an iPad. There is no second best option. It’s the double panel OLED that does brightness. You could try to find the mini LED 2022 model next it’s lower.
Thanks Tom, money saved :)
Awesome! Did you go for a used or the base iPad by any chance?
I got an M2 Air new for £509 and I’m happy with it. I mostly use it for comics and media consumption. My laptop needs are very basic, so it does the job there (just) with stage manager, too.
Same, I rarely used my laptop ever since I got the M2 Air 11 inch Cellular. I mainly consume media, business meetings, write emails, and sign documents on the iPad, I don't play games at all. I thought about the iPad Mini but honestly keyboard is a necessity for me, so the 11 inch Air is just the right size to always be in my backpack as my workhorse device.
@@Skywalker96214recommend this over ipad M2 pro?
I think the 10th gen for most people with the 128gb. The iPad Air is what I am looking at, the 13” with 256gb. I have the 1st gen pro now, a 12.9”.
I got this one for under $400 with the keyboard and pencil many years ago and am just now looking to update. Primarily for the M2 chip to run a golf simulator.
I did get the iPad mini 4 way back new for $299 new at Best Buy. I like the mini when traveling and the Pro at home or in the office. I rarely use my iPad Air 1 anymore. I think it’s a 9.7”.
Which golf simulator?
Thanks for the recommendation but I’m getting a iPad the cheap east because it’s the best
I was just watching a video that iPad would NEVER make a PRO model
I am so excited...
Lovely... Cozy... Prison. Yes, please. I love this guy already
With Apple iCloud available, is more on-board storage still needed? Thank you for the excellent summary.
M1 iPad Pro 11” user here. Got it second hand, great value, great device. I have no reason to upgrade.
The base iPad is, by far, the best proposition. At $349 it does everything 99% of people would need.
Couldn't agree more!
Here My Story Why ipad mini 7 is King!!
B ought an ipad pro 11 m4 sadly due to PWM it causes headache and eyestrain, which no one talks about .
So oled is a big no unless its xiaomi which doesnt have this issue which is weird.
Ended up buying m2 ipad then its too heavy decided had a leap of faith and bought an ipad mini 7 cellular
I must Say its the most perfect device Ever made.its like having a phone…
I play wuthering wave, warzone mobile, social media and netflix machine
Every single day i also use this to schedule my patients
why is everyone complaining about the lack of promotion on the iPad mini 7 but no one is saying anything about the iPad Air M2? interesting...
I like the iPad mini
Monetise a movie to use whiteboard marker to write on iPad screen.
He speaks of using it for reading. If you read a lot, nothing is close to a kindle paper-white. The paper-white does nothing except give the best reading experience, and isn't expensive. I use a Samsung for everything else, simply because I can add a terabyte memory card and watch movies without wifi or cellular. I also have a paper-white that I use daily, and the battery on it tends to last weeks.
Kindle Paperwhite is better for just reading, absolutely.
I bought the ipad air m2 13 inch grey colour
And how you finding it?
@ its very good but only the black content disappoints me
Ipad mini a17 pro all day long
Would love to get the 10th gen. But would you advise i wait for the 11th gen to be launched?
Which one should I get to use for fashion illustration (I’m in school) and also do video editing, but I’m also super broke? PLEASE HELP!!!
So if I want to update and a bigger screen I would go for the 10th gen or Air '13. Otherwise I'd go for the mini 7. But I still have the mini 5 and the ancient 10.5 Pro which are still great. I watch content in the Pro while I game in the Mini. For everything else, I'm still using my 14 pro max. Great expensive system, what else can I say.
🙏🏻👍👏🤲❤️❤️❤️🤲👏👍🙏🏻
Thank you for amazing and professionel detail, it is wonderful.
We are looking forward in 2025 Mac book, ipad, iPhone 17 in your program.
