The M1 Air, iPhone 13 mini, and iPad mini are a match made in heaven for me. I’ve always gone for the lighter, more portable devices. And I feel the iPad mini and iPhone mini complement each other amazingly. The only time I don’t “love” the iPhone’s small size is for watching videos or shows. That’s where the iPad comes in. Plus the iPad is still small enough that I can take it anywhere in my bag.
I feel like having an iPad mini and iPhone Pro Max is a bit redundant considering how close the screen sizes are between both devices and the roles that both devices play. In my opinion, if you’re gonna have an iPad mini, you should go for the 13 mini, or at most the 13/13 Pro if you dislike the small size for whatever reason.
Yes but ios and ipad os are distinctly different in terms of app selections. This is one of the biggest misconceptions people have about ipads. Many apps are optimized for ipad or simply are unavailable on ios. That doesnt even include the apple pencil being ipad only
I own: iPhone 13 Pro Max iPad mini (2021) and a 12.9 iPad Pro (2020) and a 14" 2021 MBP M1 Pro. The iPad mini weight and portability, is worth it as part of the aforementioned setup. The 12.9 Pro (and even the 11 Air) can be heavier because to maximize that device, you would be carrying around the magic keyboard. I use the Apple Pencil as the primary input device for the mini, so I can carry the thin case which drastically reduces overall setup weight. The mini is also closer to a 4:3 ratio vs. the near 2:1 of the phone, so it simulates an A5 Notebook when it comes to analog paper. Thus it's proper for reading documents with the relative size . It also makes a decent gaming-ish console for Genshin Impact, as it is comparable in weight to a Switch. And Center Stage is an awesome bonus. For productivity, the iPad mini is my reference material screen, where my MBP is my main screen. My phone serves as a phone or for necessary social media interactions, and with giant hands, forcing me to go to a regular sized iPhone or an iPhone mini is a lesson in futility. I need my Phone to have the beastly battery that it does because I can then forgo the lightning cable on short enough excursions, or live with wireless charging.
I agree. I went with the 13 Pro but I REALLY wanted the mini. However I wasn’t quite ready to give up the 120 hz display as well as the battery life from the pro level phones. However if they had a mini with the same specs as the pro, that would be the perfect phone for me.
My Apple ecosystem consists of iPhone 13 and iPad 8, and I’m totally satisfied with it. This devices are not relatevly so expensive , but in the same time the are really useful for education and day to day
Honestly? That’s a magic combination. The watch is not for everyone, even though I love it. Laptops are less relevant if you have an iPad, and a budget Windows PC will probably serve you just fine. The iPad has a great Logitech keyboard & trackpad case if you want it, making laptops even less essential Honestly the only downsides are the relatively unimpressive screen and the lack of Apple Pencil 2 support, though neither of those is really that bad. You got it good my friend, I hope one day these devices become accessible to more people who could make good use of them
basically that’s me too tho i have the ipad 7 . i just have a simple hp laptop as i don’t do that much. and it runs minecraft good. as long as there’s an ssd with at least 128 gig. and an i3 11th gen or newer. it’s a good laptop for me. one day i’ll get an ipad pro
My personal combo: iPhone 13 Pro Max and MacBook Air M1! I personally have no need for an iPad ;) Together with my old and trusty Bose QC 25, it feels pretty well rounded
Yap the battery on iPhone 13pro Max was amazing sometimes it took me 3days to charge only using it on a daily works, calls browsing on the web and watching movies on it. It was a life changing experience I'm an android user for 15yrs. And I think I made the right choice on switching.
Been rocking my 12 mini, Macbook Air, and Watch SE for the past year and have no need to upgrade. Been the most reliable trio of tech I've ever had. Never been able to find a a reason to justify buying an iPad, but if I did it would be the new mini because why not?
Thats exactly I’ve been wanting. I’ve got myself a 12 mini now and hopefully I’m soon going to be able to afford the watch se and MacBook Air. Which MacBook spec did u choose? And if you’re studying is it a good “study” laptop?
@@benfan6061 I haven't used my Mac for much studying, but it will get the job done no problem. I do a lot of music composition, so I upped the specs to 16gb ram and 512gb storage, but it's still the 7-core GPU and 8-core CPU. Works perfectly, never had it overheat with multiple apps running, and the battery is an absolute champ. Best computer I've ever gotten. Only downside is if you want to use it with a monitor since it doesn't support multiple, but that's never been much of an issue for me.
The display on the 14"! I wondered if going back to the M1 Air was a possibility, the 14" being so outrageously powerful that maybe I could free up a £1000 by returning it. SO I powered up the Air and... powered it down again and went straight back to the 14". The sole reason being the display. Spoiled now. Nothing else will do.
I have an Apple Watch Series 5, an M1 MacBook Air, an iPhone SE2, an iPad Mini 6 with Apple Pencil, a HomePod Mini, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and an Apple TV. The SE was a bad fit for me in retrospect, but otherwise this is such a great setup. It’s a modification of Gary’s suggested list, and I think the gist is the same I had previously owned a 2018 iPad Pro 11” w/ Magic Keyboard, and I was and am in love with it, but in my heart I knew it wasn’t necessary anymore, so I gifted it to my sister. I bought that device the day it came out, it’s such a great device. But, despite my emotional attachment, I’m okay with losing it because I’ve been blessed with a great set of tools to make my work and life easier
For me it’s iMac + iPad Pro 12.9”. (And iPhone, watch, AirPods ofc). I’m rarely ok the go where I need productive work. I enjoy doing it on an ergonomic workspace with a beautiful 5K screen and mouse and keyboard. All other work can be done on the iPad and therefore I want the maximum screen space. Great for multitasking and all office-work.
I think for those who don't fly much, your point about using a 16" on a plane is well noted, I would say the 16" MBP and 11" iPad Pro. I guess for some weight is an issue but when I was traveling more I was carrying two 14" laptops, one from my company and one my customer plus a 15" Alienware to game at night if I got a chance and an iPad. That did get a little heavy at times...
I carry two iPad pros(both sizes) and a 16” MacBook because I pretty much live on the road for work. While on planes I tend to use the 11in. The weight isn’t a problem with roller computer bags.
I would also suggest looking at the physical device footprint. 16 inch laptops are always going to be more cumbersome. I do travel a whole lot, though (car/train as well as plane), so maybe that’s still not applicable to folks who don’t travel much?
My ecosystem is the 2019 16 inch intel MacBook Pro, the 2018 iPad Pro 11, the 2021 iPad mini 6, the iPhone 13 Pro, Apple Watch Series 4 and the AirPods Pro. Also 2 HomePods and an Apple TV.
I agree with your points about the Mini. I have had it for a month and love it for portability. It’s basically my planner and note book and e-reader; fits in my purse and allows for easy media consumption. I got rid of by MacBook Air 2020. My ecosystem is now an iMac 2021, iPad Pro 12.9 (works as a “laptop” if and when the occasion should arise), iPad Mini, iPhone 8 Plus (would like to get a mini iPhone to replace), Apple Watch, air pods 2, air pods pro, iPhone 7 as my work line … an iPod lol all accumulated over time and by selling old tech to upgrade. Nice video anddd Excellent shirt 😃
For me, my ideal "Apple Ecosystem" is the 13 Pro Max, 14in Macbook Pro, airpods, and a homepod mini. Ive noticed, I find no use for iPads. I do everything on my iPhone Pro Max and when I need a bigger screen or get work done, Ill grab my Macbook. Airpods are a given and the homepod mini is a great little speaker that also is my HomeKit Home Hub (allows the ability to control my smart stuff even if im not home through the internet). Ive had an apple watch but also found it pretty useless. Only used it for notifications and heart beat sensor. Id rather use my iPhone for notifications and have a classic watch on my wrist (lol I sound like a 50 year old. I promise im 23)
Watch isn’t for everyone, though I love it. I’m a huge iPad evangelist, but I know not everyone will do equally well with an iPad. For me, the use of an iPad had always boiled down to its natural and intuitive form factor. The ability to use it like a piece of paper or a notebook, basically. But of course, use case determines utility, so it’s all subjective I personally love being able to scan documents and manipulate them digitally with my hands or with my Apple Pencil. I travel a lot, and my iPad Mini is perfect for keeping travel papers like e-visas, boarding passes, itineraries, and so on (I’ve made gone through several airports with nothing but an iPad Mini and a passport). It’s also great to be able to keep a travel journal It’s way more convenient to use an iPad than a laptop when you’re moving around all day, and honestly the interface is so streamlined that it makes my work more efficient than using my MacBook. Then again, I’ve logged a lot more hours on iPadOS than MacOS since I only had an iPad in college, so that might be confirmation bias on my part
My ecosystem consists of iPhone 12 Pro Max (may upgrade to 13) AirPods Pro, Apple Watch series 7, iPad Air 4, and M1 MBA and honestly I think it’s the perfect set up. Beyond the phone, headphones and watch, I use my laptop for the office and the iPad for entertainment. Perfect combination IMO.
I have an m1 macbook air, airpods series 2, ipad mini 4, apple watch series 6 and an iphone 12 all linked up with icloud and the works. I gotta say, I really enjoy having this ecosystem. Especially coming from just having a windows desktop and switching between iphone/android for the last few years where I told myself I'll never get into the apple ecosystem. I'm glad I did!
I look at the ecosystem as to get things that work for you! I always go with the bigger sizes as they usually have the best design factor that works for me. I like big screens and big batteries. The only thing I don’t buy often is laptops. I’m having a hard time paying 2500 for a 16in MacBook Pro when my 13in MacBook Pro 2015 is still working fine. It just sucks because I watch a lot of videos and I’d love the bigger screen and better speakers on the 16in.
Great recommendations. I’ve been attempting to be a Mac mini and iPad Pro guy for a while. Finding there is just still stuff I want to do on the go and can’t use the iPad for. Buying the 14” MPB this week.
I found this video very validating. I'm a book designer and writer who is looking to upgrade a lot of my workflow. I am making 3 subs from what you suggested but the reasoning is helpful. I'm getting the base model 16" Macbook because that extra bit of screen real estate is really helpful for having all the design panels and information available to me. I've debated on if it is worth getting more specs in the computer but this helped me feel confident that it would handle the design work just fine. Another difference is the iPad Pro 11 inch instead of the iPad mini. This helps compensate for the bigger Macbook as if I do head to a conference, I can take the pro and it can handle most of what I do at the conference so I can leave the 16" at home or in the hotel room. It also works better for me for researching articles and doing my digital planners because it gives me solid note taking space without being too hefty. So the reasoning behind the Mini helped to make the case of the 11 over the 12.9 which I've also been debating. I was already planning on the iphone pro 13 max because I read a lot on my phone for Kindle Vella research and social media and the bigger screen is huge when you do a lot of reading on it. Technically I'm not getting the newest apple watch because I have an apple watch that has worked well for me that I'm going to keep using until it is on it's last leg. The last thing is the AirPods. I have the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 earbuds. They sound amazing because Sennheiser makes really good headphones and earbuds because that's their thing and their noise cancelling rivals the AirPods. But they can pair with all my devices and can switch devices with just a tap of a button. But your video helped me to really examine why I was getting each thing I was getting and help make cases for some changes but not others. It was an awesome video.
Bro, If possible, please make a dedicated video on cleaning of airpods pro. I have a airpods pro since 2 years. I have no idea how to clean it. The ear covers looks dirty. I clean by cloth but still it looks dirty . Please make a tutorial for this bro. Thank you !
I don't know, for most regular people, I'd say: 1x - M1 Macbook air (base model): $899 with discounts 1x - iphone 13 (128gb or 256gb): $799 1x - airpods pro: $179 with discounts 1x - apple watch (base): $399 1x - 2TB icloud membership: $10/month iPads are fun but most people don't need it. Total: $2276 + $10/month
I finally completed last years lineup of apple products. Refurb iPad Pro 11(550 £) second gen, MacBook Air m1(799£) 512gb spec refurb, iPhone 12 Pro Max refurb (799£). All refurbs from apple, so basically brand new. Best ecosystem I’ve ever had
Got myself a mini 6 with Pencil and an m1 air for school I’m gonna be using premier alot but I can do a decent amount on the air and if I need any more power we’ve got Mac minis that I can just move my projects on since I store everything on an ssd anyway the iPad mini is perfect for taking notes, browsing social media, watching UA-cam, and it could double as a small and light second screen if I plug it into my Mac
I go got the gym so: Apple Watch Series 6, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPad Pro 11, MacBook Pro 13inch , AirPods Pro, Beats Pro max. For me everything wells well I know it’s expensive but I didn’t buy everything together
My Apple Ecosystem is four Home Pod Minis, a 2018 iPad Pro 12.9, a 2021 iPad mini, an iPhone 12 Pro Max, an M1 Mac mini, and an M1 MacBook Air. We have Apple TVs on each of our four Vizio TVs. My wife has an iPad Pro 2017 12.9, an iPad mini 5, and an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I see different use cases for each device. I read on my iPad mini, and I do photo editing on my iPad Pro. We both have AirPods, and Beats Studio Buds, etc. Nothing is redundant, and every device is used and appreciated.
MacBook Air 16gb(or IMac), iPhone 13, iPad Pro 11”, Apple Watch SE or 7, AirPods Pro. All of these are on great sales right now and all have plenty of power to last years.
The iPad mini screen is 60 Hz and the others are at 120Hz .. and the iPad is the most fun and versatile to use .. you will hate it with that 60Hz screen after using the other devices .. where is the Apple pencil cost? as it adds much value to the iPad as well. I myself have and eco system that I love and serve me well, a 2020 iPad Pro 12.9 with apple pencil and magic keyboard .. it is a great experience .. and an iPhone 13 pro max and two old but still perfectly functional Apple Watches, AirPods pro for the convenience and AirPods max for the quality music listening experience and an original HomePod,
My dream apple ecosystem: iPhone 13 mini, Apple Watch Nike edition iPad Pro 11 inch 2018 (and Apple Pencil) AirPods 2nd gen I have an iPad 7th gen and a fake Apple Pencil from Amazon but as of right now it’s perfect, but eventually I’m going to upgrade for college. I have the 13 mini and the AirPods though aha I also have an Apple Watch but it’s the series 3
I have a pair of AirPods Gen 1 that I gave to my sister 5 years ago when I bought mine. Both Gen 1s. Both pairs are running perfect to this day... battery life isn't the best but they work and that is all that matters.
I personally think that if you have a MacBook and a Pro Max then you probably don't need an iPad Mini. I think it would be better to get an iPad Pro/iMac/iPhone Pro or Max combination. iPad Pro - portable computer iMac - Home computer
My ecosystem consists of the 12 Pro max and the m1 MacBook air. The pro max size makes it redundant to get an iPad mini and I see no value in a normal size iPad as I can use my MacBook air.
My ecosystem consist of 27inch iMac 5K, an M1 iPad Pro 11 inch, an iPhone 12 Pro, air pod Pros, Apple TV HD, a series 5 Apple Watch and a HomePod and A HomePod mini
I was already thinking about adding a mini.., and I am trying to talk myself into the watch.., but I think I am going to go with Coros apex, or pace 2.., instead of the Apple Watch .. great video, very informative
My ecosystem consists of the new MBP 14" and the iPhone 11 Pro Max and AirPods Pro and I am completely satisfied, I am not in a need of a Apple Watch nor an iPad because I don't see the use in them for me :)
You are mine favorite youtube guy. I rly love your videos, they are just great! My expirence is that i chose iPad air 4 instead iPad mini bcs he is more usefull and have bigger screen. I using still iphone 11 and he is fantastic and apple watch 6 whic i bought in july this year. That is best deal for me. Greatings from Serbia!
I have a very similar ecosystem. I have a base 14” pro, iPad mini 6 with Apple Pencil that just came, and an iPhone XR. Holding out on the phone until they put a hold punch, so probably iPhone 14 pro or something. My iPhone XR is holding out great, has decent battery life and performs good enough.
I have my iPhone 12pro max , MacBook 12 inch because I travel a lot , Apple iwatch 6series , and AirPods 3 gen . My Apple ecosystem makes my life pretty much easy !!! Would recommend Apple products to anyone
Let me give you perfect combinations: 1. 16" MBP, 12.9 iPad Pro, 13 Pro Max, 45mm Apple Watch, AirPods Max (/ or ,) AirPods Pro 2. 14" MBP, 11" iPad Pro/10.9" iPad Air, iPhone 13 Pro/iPhone 13, 41mm Apple Watch, AirPods Pro/AirPods 3 3. M1 MBA, iPad Mini, iPhone 13 Mini, Apple Watch SE, AirPods 3/AirPods 2
Can you make a new "Most expensive" or "Most pro" ecosystem, for devs (like me) or filmmakers (also like me). Somthing thats reasonably expensive, but also top notch edit: i mean like the best, it doesnt have to be the most exoensive
Macbook Pro 16in M1 Max with 64gb ram, 1tb storage iPhone 13 Pro Max iPad Pro 12.9 M1 256gb + Apple Pencil (scripting for films maybe?, thumbnail editing, sidecar) And lastly depending on how big of a filmmaker you are, an Apple Pro Display XDR ($5000 is a lot but for those who value the display quality, its actually punches above its weight compared to $30,000 reference monitors)
I got MacBook m1 13", iPhone 13 mini, getting iPad mini on Christmas, and getting AirPods Pro tomorrow. May possibly get AirTags depending on if I think I'll find them useful personally, although all my things I carry daily will be in my bag and I check before I leave anywhere that I have everything so idk if they'll be useful. Also planning on getting an Apple TV once I move out in a few years, my whole house is gonna be apple ;-;
I am making the transition from a 2015 MacBook Pro to a 2021 Mac M1 Pro. What adopters you recommend so that I could connect my magic apple mouse and keyboard with USB end of extension to the new Mac?
The Apple ecosystem that I'm aiming for costs around $8,212 (and this doesn't have an iPad). The complete package is expensive because I live in India.
Yikes.. I have all of the components you mentioned. Well older models. MacBook Air, iPad Mini, Apple watch 4 and iPhone 11 pro max. I am going to be selling my MacBook Air and replacing it with the new mac mini M1. Looking forward to this addition. All of your videos on the M1 mac mini made me decide to just get the base model as it will easily be a huge upgrade from my 2015 MacBook Air with only 4GB of Ram and 128GB of ssd. Thanks for all your great videos.
Could you do one of these for students? Based more on affordability and portability?

MacBook Air M1
AirPods Pro
It would be in the $2500-2600 range which I think is pretty affordable everything I mentioned is pretty much all you need

I would also suggest looking at the physical device footprint. 16 inch laptops are always going to be more cumbersome. I do travel a whole lot, though (car/train as well as plane), so maybe that’s still not applicable to folks who don’t travel much?
My ecosystem is the 2019 16 inch intel MacBook Pro, the 2018 iPad Pro 11, the 2021 iPad mini 6, the iPhone 13 Pro, Apple Watch Series 4 and the AirPods Pro. Also 2 HomePods and an Apple TV.
"cost agnostic" is such a marvellous phrase I'm going to use it from now on 😂
Dunder mifflin this is Pam 😂👋
The shirt you need to have in your closet
Gary you forgot the Apple Pencil so another 130 or so? I love the videos, come for the Tech, stay for the great humor.
I agree with your points about the Mini. I have had it for a month and love it for portability. It’s basically my planner and note book and e-reader; fits in my purse and allows for easy media consumption. I got rid of by MacBook Air 2020. My ecosystem is now an iMac 2021, iPad Pro 12.9 (works as a “laptop” if and when the occasion should arise), iPad Mini, iPhone 8 Plus (would like to get a mini iPhone to replace), Apple Watch, air pods 2, air pods pro, iPhone 7 as my work line … an iPod lol all accumulated over time and by selling old tech to upgrade. Nice video anddd Excellent shirt 😃
For me, my ideal "Apple Ecosystem" is the 13 Pro Max, 14in Macbook Pro, airpods, and a homepod mini.
Ive noticed, I find no use for iPads. I do everything on my iPhone Pro Max and when I need a bigger screen or get work done, Ill grab my Macbook. Airpods are a given and the homepod mini is a great little speaker that also is my HomeKit Home Hub (allows the ability to control my smart stuff even if im not home through the internet).
Ive had an apple watch but also found it pretty useless. Only used it for notifications and heart beat sensor. Id rather use my iPhone for notifications and have a classic watch on my wrist (lol I sound like a 50 year old. I promise im 23)
Watch isn’t for everyone, though I love it. I’m a huge iPad evangelist, but I know not everyone will do equally well with an iPad. For me, the use of an iPad had always boiled down to its natural and intuitive form factor. The ability to use it like a piece of paper or a notebook, basically. But of course, use case determines utility, so it’s all subjective
I personally love being able to scan documents and manipulate them digitally with my hands or with my Apple Pencil. I travel a lot, and my iPad Mini is perfect for keeping travel papers like e-visas, boarding passes, itineraries, and so on (I’ve made gone through several airports with nothing but an iPad Mini and a passport). It’s also great to be able to keep a travel journal
It’s way more convenient to use an iPad than a laptop when you’re moving around all day, and honestly the interface is so streamlined that it makes my work more efficient than using my MacBook. Then again, I’ve logged a lot more hours on iPadOS than MacOS since I only had an iPad in college, so that might be confirmation bias on my part
I have iPad 7th gen for school and iPhone 8+, some of best things I’ve ever bought working as one
My ecosystem consists of iPhone 12 Pro Max (may upgrade to 13) AirPods Pro, Apple Watch series 7, iPad Air 4, and M1 MBA and honestly I think it’s the perfect set up. Beyond the phone, headphones and watch, I use my laptop for the office and the iPad for entertainment. Perfect combination IMO.
the everyday DADDD!! This guys kids gonna be getting AMAZING hand me downs
I also think if you have a small phone like the regular 13 or 13 mini, I prefer the bigger iPad.
M1 MBA + Base iPad (with gen1 pencil) + iPhone 13 PM + AirPods Pro + AW S6 = fantastic. Bonus: Apple TV & OG HomePod
I have an m1 macbook air, airpods series 2, ipad mini 4, apple watch series 6 and an iphone 12 all linked up with icloud and the works. I gotta say, I really enjoy having this ecosystem. Especially coming from just having a windows desktop and switching between iphone/android for the last few years where I told myself I'll never get into the apple ecosystem. I'm glad I did!
I look at the ecosystem as to get things that work for you! I always go with the bigger sizes as they usually have the best design factor that works for me. I like big screens and big batteries. The only thing I don’t buy often is laptops. I’m having a hard time paying 2500 for a 16in MacBook Pro when my 13in MacBook Pro 2015 is still working fine. It just sucks because I watch a lot of videos and I’d love the bigger screen and better speakers on the 16in.
why not just buy an iPad for that then?
@@ahurafarahani7751I just don’t see a iPad being worth it for me. I did end up buying the 16in and it’s not portable lol but I have a 13 pro max.
Great recommendations. I’ve been attempting to be a Mac mini and iPad Pro guy for a while. Finding there is just still stuff I want to do on the go and can’t use the iPad for. Buying the 14” MPB this week.
"waiter, bring me one of everything please"
I found this video very validating. I'm a book designer and writer who is looking to upgrade a lot of my workflow. I am making 3 subs from what you suggested but the reasoning is helpful. I'm getting the base model 16" Macbook because that extra bit of screen real estate is really helpful for having all the design panels and information available to me. I've debated on if it is worth getting more specs in the computer but this helped me feel confident that it would handle the design work just fine. Another difference is the iPad Pro 11 inch instead of the iPad mini. This helps compensate for the bigger Macbook as if I do head to a conference, I can take the pro and it can handle most of what I do at the conference so I can leave the 16" at home or in the hotel room. It also works better for me for researching articles and doing my digital planners because it gives me solid note taking space without being too hefty. So the reasoning behind the Mini helped to make the case of the 11 over the 12.9 which I've also been debating. I was already planning on the iphone pro 13 max because I read a lot on my phone for Kindle Vella research and social media and the bigger screen is huge when you do a lot of reading on it. Technically I'm not getting the newest apple watch because I have an apple watch that has worked well for me that I'm going to keep using until it is on it's last leg. The last thing is the AirPods. I have the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 earbuds. They sound amazing because Sennheiser makes really good headphones and earbuds because that's their thing and their noise cancelling rivals the AirPods. But they can pair with all my devices and can switch devices with just a tap of a button. But your video helped me to really examine why I was getting each thing I was getting and help make cases for some changes but not others. It was an awesome video.
Bro, If possible, please make a dedicated video on cleaning of airpods pro. I have a airpods pro since 2 years. I have no idea how to clean it. The ear covers looks dirty. I clean by cloth but still it looks dirty . Please make a tutorial for this bro. Thank you !
@potshot1946 Thanks a lot bro for sharing. I don’t see any YT videos on this topic.
I don't know, for most regular people, I'd say:
1x - M1 Macbook air (base model): $899 with discounts
1x - iphone 13 (128gb or 256gb): $799
1x - airpods pro: $179 with discounts
1x - apple watch (base): $399
1x - 2TB icloud membership: $10/month
iPads are fun but most people don't need it. Total: $2276 + $10/month
Ideal setup for most people. I’d go iPad 8 rather than AirPods Pro as the iPad is the product I use the most.
0:15 Slamming must😂😂
5:35 the moment you said that, I figured you were gonna recommend a Pro Max😂
your mail total badge kills me :)
What case is that on the iPad mini?
Voltron reference love it
I finally completed last years lineup of apple products. Refurb iPad Pro 11(550 £) second gen, MacBook Air m1(799£) 512gb spec refurb, iPhone 12 Pro Max refurb (799£). All refurbs from apple, so basically brand new. Best ecosystem I’ve ever had
“Let’s slam this” haha
"The Everyday Dad" ball caps would make great Christmas gifts! Just saying......
Got myself a mini 6 with Pencil and an m1 air for school
I’m gonna be using premier alot but I can do a decent amount on the air and if I need any more power we’ve got Mac minis that I can just move my projects on since I store everything on an ssd anyway
the iPad mini is perfect for taking notes, browsing social media, watching UA-cam, and it could double as a small and light second screen if I plug it into my Mac
I go got the gym so: Apple Watch Series 6, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPad Pro 11, MacBook Pro 13inch , AirPods Pro, Beats Pro max. For me everything wells well I know it’s expensive but I didn’t buy everything together
My Apple Ecosystem is four Home Pod Minis, a 2018 iPad Pro 12.9, a 2021 iPad mini, an iPhone 12 Pro Max, an M1 Mac mini, and an M1 MacBook Air. We have Apple TVs on each of our four Vizio TVs. My wife has an iPad Pro 2017 12.9, an iPad mini 5, and an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I see different use cases for each device. I read on my iPad mini, and I do photo editing on my iPad Pro. We both have AirPods, and Beats Studio Buds, etc. Nothing is redundant, and every device is used and appreciated.
For me it’s IPhone 13 Pro, AirPod Pros, iPad Pro 11” with 2nd gen Apple pencil and MacBook Pro 14” with M1 Pro. All pro :)
plus the apple pencil, a must for anyone trying to get serious productivity done on their iPad
MacBook Air 16gb(or IMac), iPhone 13, iPad Pro 11”, Apple Watch SE or 7, AirPods Pro. All of these are on great sales right now and all have plenty of power to last years.
Loving this series man ❤️
Ok I have a IPhone 12 Pro Max, iPad 8th Gen Apple Watch series 4, air pods pro, HomePod mini, air tags all I need is a mac book
I have MacBook Air m1 and iPhone XR which should I buy AirPods 2 gen or beats flex
Good. A question though, what backpack or laptop bag do you put your portable items into?
I m using iPhone 12 and iPad Air 4 with iWatch SE 44mm.... And i personally satisfied with these products and the ecosystem....😍😍😍
My current ecosystem:
1. iphone 13
2. Macbook Air M1
3. Airpods pro 1st gen
4. Apple Watch se 2nd gen
5. Apple wallet
6. Apple Battery pack
The iPad mini screen is 60 Hz and the others are at 120Hz .. and the iPad is the most fun and versatile to use .. you will hate it with that 60Hz screen after using the other devices .. where is the Apple pencil cost? as it adds much value to the iPad as well.
I myself have and eco system that I love and serve me well, a 2020 iPad Pro 12.9 with apple pencil and magic keyboard .. it is a great experience .. and an iPhone 13 pro max and two old but still perfectly functional Apple Watches, AirPods pro for the convenience and AirPods max for the quality music listening experience and an original HomePod,
I use 16 inch MacBook + 11 inch iPad Pro + iPhone 13 pro. Big laptop. Medium iPad. Small phone.
Got the Logitech K380 keyboard for my iPad PRO 11” 2018. Thinking about the MX Keys Mini!
Airpods gen 3 is the best for me. Then m1 macbook air 13 inches, iphone 13 pro, 45mm series 7
My dream apple ecosystem:
iPhone 13 mini,
Apple Watch Nike edition
iPad Pro 11 inch 2018 (and Apple Pencil)
AirPods 2nd gen
I have an iPad 7th gen and a fake Apple Pencil from Amazon but as of right now it’s perfect, but eventually I’m going to upgrade for college.
I have the 13 mini and the AirPods though aha I also have an Apple Watch but it’s the series 3
Like Voltron! You get points for that.
Have an iPhone SE, iPad Pro 11inch 1st Gen and an iPad 6th Gen and I think it’s a great combo!
I love the office and that shirt is the BOMB!!!!!
You forgot the price for the Apple pen in the quotation: € 135,-- in Europe but probably cheaper in the US.
Every day dad UA-cam channel to the world
I have a pair of AirPods Gen 1 that I gave to my sister 5 years ago when I bought mine. Both Gen 1s. Both pairs are running perfect to this day... battery life isn't the best but they work and that is all that matters.
I personally think that if you have a MacBook and a Pro Max then you probably don't need an iPad Mini.
I think it would be better to get an iPad Pro/iMac/iPhone Pro or Max combination.
iPad Pro - portable computer
iMac - Home computer
My ecosystem consists of the 12 Pro max and the m1 MacBook air. The pro max size makes it redundant to get an iPad mini and I see no value in a normal size iPad as I can use my MacBook air.
hey sir the new cool sidecar you can use ipad while your macbook is in your bag.😏🙃its the most freaking cool feature macbook with touchscreen 🤣🤣🙃🙃🙃
My ecosystem consist of 27inch iMac 5K, an M1 iPad Pro 11 inch, an iPhone 12 Pro, air pod Pros, Apple TV HD, a series 5 Apple Watch and a HomePod and A HomePod mini
Skipping the Apple Watch in favour of automatic watch, but everything else yes! Getting my iPad next year and MacBook Pro 14" later this month
My ideal apple ecosystem is
1. Iphone 13
2. Apple watch series 7
3. IPad pro 11 inch
4. MacBook Air M2
I was already thinking about adding a mini.., and I am trying to talk myself into the watch.., but I think I am going to go with Coros apex, or pace 2.., instead of the Apple Watch .. great video, very informative
My current eco system
13 Pro Max
2020 13 inch MacBook Pro 16 GB Ram (Intel)
iPad Air 4
Airpods 2nd Gen
Thanks for your video. I appreciate your suggestions. Blessings on your day.
Almost 69k of unread emails!!! Man, you have a lot of work ahead! 😂
My ecosystem consists of the new MBP 14" and the iPhone 11 Pro Max and AirPods Pro and I am completely satisfied, I am not in a need of a Apple Watch nor an iPad because I don't see the use in them for me :)
I remember when you were at 210k subs! Time is going by fast
You are mine favorite youtube guy. I rly love your videos, they are just great! My expirence is that i chose iPad air 4 instead iPad mini bcs he is more usefull and have bigger screen. I using still iphone 11 and he is fantastic and apple watch 6 whic i bought in july this year. That is best deal for me. Greatings from Serbia!
I have a very similar ecosystem. I have a base 14” pro, iPad mini 6 with Apple Pencil that just came, and an iPhone XR. Holding out on the phone until they put a hold punch, so probably iPhone 14 pro or something. My iPhone XR is holding out great, has decent battery life and performs good enough.
My Current ecosystem is apple watch, galaxy S10, galaxy s8, Sony vaio laptop.
I'm with apple ecosystem
Macbook pro 15"
Ipad 6th generation
Iphone xs max
Air pods pro
My apple ecosystem is M1 MacBook Air and iPad 8th gen
you forgot the Apple Pencil 2 + your case + AppleCare+ in your price total
I have my iPhone 12pro max , MacBook 12 inch because I travel a lot , Apple iwatch 6series , and AirPods 3 gen . My Apple ecosystem makes my life pretty much easy !!! Would recommend Apple products to anyone
Let me give you perfect combinations:
1. 16" MBP, 12.9 iPad Pro, 13 Pro Max, 45mm Apple Watch, AirPods Max (/ or ,) AirPods Pro
2. 14" MBP, 11" iPad Pro/10.9" iPad Air, iPhone 13 Pro/iPhone 13, 41mm Apple Watch, AirPods Pro/AirPods 3
3. M1 MBA, iPad Mini, iPhone 13 Mini, Apple Watch SE, AirPods 3/AirPods 2
Can you make a new "Most expensive" or "Most pro" ecosystem, for devs (like me) or filmmakers (also like me). Somthing thats reasonably expensive, but also top notch
edit: i mean like the best, it doesnt have to be the most exoensive
Macbook Pro 16in M1 Max with 64gb ram, 1tb storage
iPhone 13 Pro Max
iPad Pro 12.9 M1 256gb + Apple Pencil (scripting for films maybe?, thumbnail editing, sidecar)
And lastly depending on how big of a filmmaker you are, an Apple Pro Display XDR
($5000 is a lot but for those who value the display quality, its actually punches above its weight compared to $30,000 reference monitors)
These are some amazing suggestions but you'd suggest an iPad without an Apple Pencil?
which ipad pro case are u using? Could you please include a link?
Ultron aptly referenced to 😂
New MacBook/iPad user here. Does anyone know how to use sidecar on Monterey? I can't seem to find out how to use it
Very nice vlog, how i wish i have my own ipad too but sad to say and accept what I can do is watch your vlog only and all over again. 😔
How can I find the wallpaper on the iPhone from the thumbnail???
I got MacBook m1 13", iPhone 13 mini, getting iPad mini on Christmas, and getting AirPods Pro tomorrow. May possibly get AirTags depending on if I think I'll find them useful personally, although all my things I carry daily will be in my bag and I check before I leave anywhere that I have everything so idk if they'll be useful. Also planning on getting an Apple TV once I move out in a few years, my whole house is gonna be apple ;-;
I am making the transition from a 2015 MacBook Pro to a 2021 Mac M1 Pro. What adopters you recommend so that I could connect my magic apple mouse and keyboard with USB end of extension to the new Mac?
My aes
Iphone 13 pro
Ipad air 4
Airpod pro
M2 mba
Homepod mini
Apple pencil
Magsafe puck
Please do one like this for students
Would you add a homepod mini to your set at home office?
Loving the shirt :)
The Apple ecosystem that I'm aiming for costs around $8,212 (and this doesn't have an iPad). The complete package is expensive because I live in India.
Yikes.. I have all of the components you mentioned. Well older models. MacBook Air, iPad Mini, Apple watch 4 and iPhone 11 pro max. I am going to be selling my MacBook Air and replacing it with the new mac mini M1. Looking forward to this addition. All of your videos on the M1 mac mini made me decide to just get the base model as it will easily be a huge upgrade from my 2015 MacBook Air with only 4GB of Ram and 128GB of ssd. Thanks for all your great videos.
