From a musician perspective a 13 inch screen size without the pro price tag is pretty appealing Edit: I guess I meant musician who uses the ipad for reading sheet music in particular
@@Miekolia adaptive 120hz, which is cool for sure. For certain things... But for reading a static pdf file on forscore, it's not so important! Perhaps a battery life benefit if it can drop to 1hz though
@@jaleelshaw I'd first ask whether it would be a secondary device or your main one. And what would you use it for - At the price it goes for, you'd get better mileage from a laptop imo. If it's for making music, the 120hz won't have a meaningful impact. But ymmv, in my case I found I'd accidentally turned off 120hz on my phone and didn't notice for months 🤷
I’ve been thinking the same thing. I just wonder if there’s an app that I can use a pencil to notate music, that will transcribe it to a digital chart format.
Upgraded my wife’s M1 Air with the 11” M2 Air since she loves Procreate and was intrigued by the new Apple Pencil Pro features. She didn’t want the 13” model since it would be too big for using it in bed or traveling. She gave me her M1 Air and as someone whose never had one before I am liking it. I’m a screen snob and we have all OLED LG TVs in our house but the LCDs Apple uses are pretty good. Aside from really dark scenes I think even the M1 Air is great for basic stuff and media consumption. I think a lot of people would be served well by saving money on the older model if they don’t have to have the fancy new Apple Pencil.
Bought the 13" Air today and I love it. I use mine for online school, gaming, streaming movies, streaming podcasts, listening to music, and reading. I don't use any keyboard or the Apple Pencil. 3 things that I really like are the speed, battery life, and light weight. 2 things I don't like are Touch ID and the speakers. I have basically solved the speakers issue by using my AirPods or a Bluetooth speaker. Touch ID is just going to take getting used to. The iPad Pro is a better tablet overall but the Air is the better value for the price
@@emilsecker7881I own the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Galaxy S8+ tablet and both have a 120Hz OLED screens. I don’t see a big difference in my day to day usage. I was able to trade in my 2018 11” iPad Pro for $330 so my 2024 13” Air was under $600…that’s a steal for a big screen tablet. If you or anyone else wants to spend $1,000 on a tablet…go right ahead
I have the 13 inch air and the speakers are just fine. I don’t really noticed the muffling. It gets loud enough when listening to music and watching movies.
The new pencil and features alone is enough to get digital artists to consider upgrading to either the M2 Air or Pro. For artists on a budget, starting with the M2 Air is a really compelling package. I'm a visualy impaired digital artist who's been using the 8th gen basic and First Gen pencil. Now I have the option the large screen plus enhanced haptic feedback, all with VoiceOve and full screen magnifyr for accessibility.. I've already started saving, and now working on ways to reach that goal faster!
I’m intrigued. How do you became a digital artist if you are a VI I know you mentioned using the zoom feature but isn’t it very tedious with the elements on the screen blowing up extremely big.
@@Aviation_tech441 I was a regular artist before advancing down the sight loss spectrum.. I'm careful to work within the constraints of what's comfortable; ; using the multi finger double screen tap to toggle between a set zoom point and fullscreen mode does not add to the mental workload any longer. Still get disoriented unexpectedly but the reasons for that are unavoidable. My mental acuity needs to meet a certain threshold for me consider a higher level task like that. Thanks for asking, btw, hope you are having a wonderful week.
@@KonjikiKonjiki oh I see It certainly feels upsetting to not be able to do something you use to enjoy doing properly. It’s good that you didn’t allow something like that to pull you down
@@mo8797even if it has more features, no one wants to get a old refurbished iPad shipped in some box. I would rather spend it on the newest iPad as we all don’t need pro features
@@mo8797came here to say that. Anyone who buys an air model is a fool. Buy last years pro model instead of the current year air. Youll still be getting a better products. The air model suckss
I picked the 13” iPad Air yesterday and I love it. It was worth wanting for, coming from an iPad 6! I wanted a wow factor and got it without that high price of the pro model.
How does the battery feel? I’m on iPad 6 as well and I’ve been thinking about upgrading to the new Air, but I’ve seen bad reviews about the battery that have me worried
I prefer the touch button over face Id. I often have to raise my m1 ipad pro up off the desk toward my face to unlock it. Just irritating. Especially in group writing sessions were I would prefer the touch button. It's more discrete and more professional. For a keyboard i use a magic keyboard with all ipads and mac. usually they are on stands for serious work. Side car and all that. I don't like cases with keyboards. My main preferred editing, writing tool and note taking is the pencil. Keyboards are a necessary evil. The ipad folder keyboards are ridiculously expensive as well.
I finally figured why I don’t use my iPad as often as I’d like. I have the medium size 10.9 iPad Air 2020. It’s great and still fast but it’s not small enough and lightweight for reading or quick access and it’s not large enough to use a second screen or do some productivity. So my setup going forward: iPad mini 6 + 13 inch iPad. Just ordered mini 6 on sale (from Amazon) and going to trade in my air 2020 and get new air 13. I’d love to get the pro, but I’m not a super intense user and can’t justify the $1299+ for the pro
The accessories question would be far less of an issue for you if you started considering things like the Logitech Combo Touch. Cheaper, modular design where keyboard and case can be separated, function row, larger trackpad than old Magic Keyboard design, protects the iPad’s sides, kickstand, etc.
@@SalivatingSteve I think the more simple explanation is that he doesn’t care unless it’s Apple. I like a lot of his coverage but the lack of interest for some stuff beyond “first party” is a little bit detrimental to the consumer.
I have an iPad mini 5. I have enjoyed the small form factor but the 11 inch Air would be more capable especially for multitasking and with smaller bezels only a bit bigger in the hand. The relatively good price makes an upgrade tempting.
In my opinion 11 inch isn’t a great size. It’s not small and portable enough for reading and quick browsing and it’s not large enough for productivity. It’s kind of in the middle.
@@Anastasia-M24 interesting, I was just using my mini with a cheap 3rd party pencil, and definitely wanted as much space as possible, but I also saw a video where someone was saying 13” air was the best choice but also that it was unwieldy and would need a keyboard! I see what you mean but it might be much handier than a 13’
@@Owl54321 I’d use 13 inch for PDF annotation, notes, work and other stuff like that. The mini is great for quick browsing, books, watching a quick UA-cam video etc. It’s super portable for traveling. So I feel I need both!
I’m sticking with my 12.9 M1 but if I was buying a iPad today I think it would be the 13 Air, the Pro is just too expensive for what you get at this time but that will change as different vendors start offering discounts
I have the iPad Pro 12.9 inch with the M1 Processor. I probably won't get another iPad until this one can no longer receive the latest iPadOS or if the Battery no longer supplies a decent length of power.
I just bought the MacBook Air M3 15" and the iPad Air and they're superb products. I feel like I am a user that does a little more than an average user, but maybe not quite enough to get the MBP or the iPad Pro, so for me the Air models are ideal and I can save some coin doing it!
Lol same I got the air m2 13 inch with 1 terabyte so it can last me for some years. For the air did you get the 13 or 11 inch and how much storage did you get. I’m trying to see what I should get to see if I need more storage or less.
My Gen 4 IPad is still amazing for drawing and sketching, Sketchbook/Procreate, etc. We are lucky to live in such times we have these things. If I upgrade, for the new pencil mainly, I'd get the Air, OLEDs burn in and degrade when there's static features like toolbars on the screen.
I like how you touched on the comparison of the iPad air 13" with the previous iPad Pro. Iʻm trying to look for a comparison/buyers guide to see if it would be more worth it to get the new iPad air 13" or go for something like the M1 12.9 iPad pro...
It all comes back to your application I think for the vast majority of people or at least students iPad Air meets one's expectations and even more but if you want to use it for a specific kind of purpose that requires more you can go for the pro version
Just picked mine up yesterday, I got the Air 13". So far I love it my old Air is still great but I wanted a bigger screen for drawing. I think for me the pro would have been too much for what I really need it for.
I stuck between starlight and space grey… because in certain lights I like the gold silver starlight color, but the space grey also looks like a darker silver…
I think there’s a quiet portion of Apple users that don’t use keyboards with the Air at all, I have the m2 15inch MacBook Air have no desire for the keyboard accessory also makes this an attractive proposition for leisure photo editing and kicking back with a big screen in hand.
If I get an iPad I only intend to use the pencil with it and to just give myself a break from the computer since I am a remote student lol. I don’t want keyboards at all, for that I have a laptop 💻
For $829, you can get a M1 12.9” iPad Pro, keep your pencil 2 and regular Magic Keyboard, and a mini led screen. You probably can’t tell the difference in performance except it the pencil won’t hover. It is 55 grams heavier (11 nickels worth). It will be supported until 2028 or 2029 and the resale may or may not be higher than the 12.9” air.
My problem is that you need a case and a maybe a keyboard and the Pencil, etc. To make the best of it's features. Which brings it up to so much money. The least expensive case I found was like $79 but you want it to be durable. After all that I may as well get a Macbook. And then stick with my old iPad air that is eventually going to be unable to update. I didn't realize the Pro has 4 speakers. That is good to know.
I have literally never used my iPads speakers. I've had it for 10 years... :) That's why it's lagging and making me think to get this one here. The 13th inch seems nice for future proofing for work stuffs.
Apple has been pushing the iPad towards the MacBook and away from the iPhone (camera placement and keyboard). Yet the Apple logo is configured to be similar to the iPhone (portrait) and not MacBook (landscape). With the camera moved to the long side and the use of the keyboard stand, I think Apple missed a detail, which is the orientation of their logo on the back.
When they introduced the 13" iPad Air, I knew that was the iPad for me. Especially since it now comes in purple. That's something I just can't get in an iPad Pro. But first I need to replace my iPad mini, which is the perfect size for me, because its physical home button has now broken. I was looking at the iPad mini 6, but that one is getting long in the tooth. As with all tech, it ALWAYS pays to wait.
I just ordered the iPad Air 11" w/256GB SSD, it is my first tablet. I wanted something smaller than my MacBook Pro 16" for travel and photography tethering. I agonized between the iPad Mini and the 11" Air, and ultimately chose the Air. I hope I haven't made a mistake. BTW, the education prices with Apple right now at great, and I paid $708 OTD for the 11" 256GB iPad Air with 2 yrs of AppleCare, and a $100 Gift Card, couldn't be more happy with the price.
I’m literally watching this on my iPad Air 5 (M1 air) and except for the camera,M2 chip and the gb I don’t see many differences and why exactly did the colours get worse than before
I am a student and mostly working with chatgpt and a lot of note-taking with my apple pencil. I have a 2020 iPad Pro 11" (2nd gen) for 2 years now. My question is, should I switch to the iPad Air M2 because the Apple Intelligent feature won’t be supported on my iPad? How big and good is this apple intelligent! Honestly that’s the only reason I’m considering
Gosh that finger print sensor is so far away on the 13" iPad Air.... I would have bought thew new Magic Keyboard if it was compatible with the new iPad Air but it's not, so I went with the Combo Touch Keyboard.
13 inches is way too big to move out every day, the 13 version is more like once or twice per week out for university maybe, and mostly a household device. The 11-inch on the other hand is more versatile; if you need a bigger screen, you can connect it to your monitor or TV. On the other hand, I am not thinking of the keyboard, which costs 300-400 euros, I am thinking of a mobile phone instead. But you can get good Bluetooth and so much cheaper keyboards to do stuff. One thing only bugs me and that is the storage space. I am between the 256 for the 11 inches or 512? I do some games, mostly writing for university (maths, chemistry), some stuff for work, but also photography. I spend many hours per day out, up to 12-14 hours out, so I consider the 13 version a risk, too big to walk around with it, the bending issue if I stress it a lot, and some other minor things.
Hi Greg, I recently purchased the 13-inch Air with the Apple keyboard. I was wondering if the Apple keyboard can do the "command + F" shortcut. I tried to research it but I couldn't find an answer for the iPad only for the MAC. I'm not sure if I articulated it well but I just mean to be able to quickly search for specific information in textbooks and on websites (my main goal is to use it for school haha) Anyways, Thank you for this awesome and informative video. Wishing you all the best -Lani : )
I would like to see an honest comparison with the older A14 iPad now at $350. Especially to the new iPad Air. I just don't think I need that much computing power in an iPad.
Honestly I was super excited about the new iPad line up. Anticipation mounted with the delays but this soon changed to disappointment. Yes it’s faster (again). Yes a new size for the air. But as someone with a 2020 pro which other than the chip is the same and in many ways better than the air and without any significant differences in terms of performance when it comes to 90% of the usage against the new Pro, I’m just not seeing a compelling reason to upgrade. Let’s see if WWDC provides a reason…….
I got M1 Pro then traded form M4 olds but then got a 400 off for 13” inch air I don’t see difference but battery is better. I only use iPad for online watching movies and using apps for banking so it’s good device with 90 percent of the apple oled and better battery life
Going to purchase either the 11 inch or 13 inch.... but for multitasking and watching content I am waiting for the tab s10 ultra.... not liking the aspect ratio of the ipad for watching content
I do find it funny that even if you don't buy the Pro iPad, you're forced to buy the Pro Pencil. Are you Pro or not Pro? I also find it confusing that Apple are pitching the iPads to be "landscape first" with the front camera moving, but kept the Apple logo on the back in the portrait orientation.
I have a 2018 12.9 (battery issues) and a 2021 M1 12.9 Pro--not upgrading this year but really interested in the 12.9 Air. In another year or so when I upgrade, think the 12.9 Air will be sufficient (use a Pencil and Magic keyboard so an upgrade of those too). I listen to Ipad with airpods or earphones so speaker doesn't make any difference either. Lack of face ID will be annoying but for the difference in price--expect I can get used to it--and in a year or so--they may change that too in the Air.
Thank you. but You have two iPads, a 13-inch Air and a Pro. I think it would be helpful to compare and record sounds using music such as symphonies, classical music, and ballads and play them to viewers. There are no proper comparison videos on UA-cam.
Do I need to get an Apple Pencil Pro? Or does the Apple Pencil USB C work for the air? The representative in the store said that the Apple USB C works either way the iPad Air, but I showed him this video and he said he hasn’t heard this before….
What’s the point of a 13” iPad when a Macbook Air is an alternative with a keyboard. The 11” iPad is a more watching Netflix on the couch type of device. I prefer iPad OS over Macbook but if I wanted a keyboard i’d get a Macbook.
for me I prefer to hand write. The 13 inch tablet is roughly the same as an a 4 sheet of paper. Key boards are generally a nuisance. I do have a macbook for certain apps like Cubase. So both are useful for me. I wouldn't get a keyboard case though. I sorta agree.
Love your reviews. I bought a 2024 11” am taking it back to the Apple store and buying a 2024 13” Air. I also own a 2020 13” iPad Pro. To me the colors do not matter because I’ll buy a Folio case to cover it. I’ll get the Air in blue and the case in gray. I do not use a pencil buy may get one for just taking notes. Thanks.
Was going to get this air but with the added cost of my preferred case AND new pencil cos my v2 won’t work, then I can save by moving to a Mac air m2. Allowing optional devices such as pencil would have been better but apple are not going to force me to update everything for a one model change. My guess is is a good spec windows machine could actually be a better proposition for my photo editing work.
I don't get caught up in the accessories for iPad. I ditched my Tab S9 for the 11 pro M4 purely for the display. My tablets are like mini TVs at this point and I love beautiful displays to view media content...When Samsung bring their tv OLED displays to their tablets, I will be back. Thanks again.
I like the portability and all day usage on one charge , I just have an ipad air M1 no video editing , I do work on it though and find it perfect . I just use a secondary supplier case and keyboard half the price of apples I find it works fine or the onscreen is also adequate for short bursts . I find the pro stuff and mac air really hyped for the average use case extra power is only required for creative users apparently . I have not come across anything I don’t like about the M1 air
I left you a feedback in your other video. You should look into Logitech keyboard - day and night difference, and much cheaper. Have you looked into this?
I’m still on iPad Air 4th Gen and I don’t see any reason to upgrade for new iPad Air or iPad Pro. I came from 2018 iPad Pro where honestly it was not a step down for me when I switched to iPad Air in 2021 P.S. apple products are the way to go is my personal opinion judging by 15 years of going back and forth from apple to android
I guess as a busy person who has rental properties, old dogs, old parents, and am old--- I just can't get worked up about all the small issues. I have had cancer so you know what I worry about-- getting cancer again... lol so the 2 speakers? I am fine-- I feel lucky to just hear! thanks for the help
Well, I have the macbook pro m3 max, top spec except for ram and storage. I just need an ipad as a side device, mainly for entertainment. I still got the pro 11" in the end, I managed to get it at an outlet, new and never used, for about 20% less, just got the base spec, so 256GB but certainly enough to store A LOT of novels, books, videos and audio books. Can store months worth of media easily and I have a small external m.2 ssd with blazing fast speed that I can store all my stuff on in case I want something else on the go. Luckily for me, I don't need the apple keyboard or pen in the slightest. I mean, I wouldn't complain if I got it, but I just use a mx anywhere 3s and mx keys mini instead if I need a keyboard/mouse kind of thing. The pen is useless to me. I mean, yeah, maybe the pro is overkill for just media as a side device to use mostly outside of my home, but the tandem oled is better than the m2 pro screen you showed here, the 4 speakers are as you say much nicer, the 120hz will be noticeable for me, especially when reading with all the scrolling, the brightness is a big bonus for outside use and overall the m4 chip will be a longer lasting one than the older m2. But the lack of face ID is somehow one of the most important deciding factors, I just can't stomach the idea of using touch ID again after so many years, except for with my macbook pro but my apple watch unlocks it most of the time. It just ends up being a massive annoyance as it builds up over the years of use it will get, that alone is worth at least 200 bucks. I got the 256gb pro 11" for about the same price as the 11" air 512gb that I was eyeing at first. Though I got a deal on that too, so it was going to end up a bit cheaper, but I'd rather have 256gb storage and a little bit less content stored and need to transfer things slightly more if that means I can get many more important pros. I mean, since m.2 external ssd exist now that are quite small and light, I see no reason to pay much more for a little bit more memory. Now I'm just afraid 11" will be too small for me but since I want to bring it along everywhere and I'll be using a pretty bulky ESR case, I think it's better if it's more portable. The difference isn't extreme, the ipad 11" is already about half the size of my 16" macbook pro screen, it'd be just right for reading and consuming content.
I wanted a 13" iPad Pro M4 for the powerful chip and the gorgeous screen. Instead, I bought a 13" iPad Air because it will do what I want, and it's significantly cheaper. I bought the new Pencil Pro, but I'll never buy a keyboard for it. My iPad is for architectural drawing and sketching in SketchUp Pro. I kind of enjoy the virtual keyboard, but for serious writing, I prefer my MacBook Air or my Mac mini. They have full-featured apps not available on the iPad.
9th gen if your on a budget and like the home button. The iPad Air 11 or 13in if you want newest one, or if you want the larger screen size. Don’t get pro it’s not worth the price. And don’t get refurbished or used.
@@kiley_girl13 I have Procreate for my creative side and have Infuse for my videos. The best for art and videos. My Air 5 is doing a fantastic job two years strong now.
_Do you notice any big difference in terms of drawing on an iPad Air 60Hz display and an iPad Pro 120Hz display? I'm using an iPad for drawing, and the 60Hz display is my main concern with the iPad Air. The M4 iPad Pro is overpriced for me, so the M2 iPad Air would be the perfect choice if there is no concern about the drawing experience_
The 120hz will be most noticeable when you watch movie or playing games since there's movement. The pictures is a bit sharper. If you just use for drawing, you won't notice the different, since there's no motion going on. Your hand motion for drawing isn't consider movie/animation.I don't even know who the target market for the iPad Pro (since the mac desktop/laptop are more suitable for this heavy duty professional work) other than people will lot of cash to burn, the iPad air should be sufficient for your need. My two cents.
I just got the pro m4 and the double knuckle oled display doesn’t look any better than my old gen 4 pro that 4 years old. Don’t waste your money unless you are doing heavy apps that need the m4 power.
As a 12.9” 6th gen m2 pro user, I’ll watch bc nosey but I’ll stick with my device and my partner is way ok with his m1 5th gen air (I think it’s 5th gen?)
I've had the iPad air 5 for 4 years now, and I really love it! I bought the air because I honestly don't need the pro when I have a macbook anyways. Now that I started using my iPad for sheet music in orchestra I noticed that a 13" would be better, but I am not into paying that much money for a pro. FINALLY the Air is in 13"!! Totally getting this one. Then I'm considering getting the iPad mini for reading books 😅Still wondering if I should get the 6 or wait for the new 7...
If you had a 12.9” M2 iPad Pro, would you get the new 13” iPad Air? I really don’t want to spend the money on a new Pro. Also, I only use it for browsing and streaming. lol. Advice?
_why would you get the new 13" iPad Air when you've already had 12.9" M2 iPad Pro? A bit lighter, 0.1" screen size bigger (but actually it's still 12.9"), landscape front cam, pencil pro, more color options, touch ID over FaceID, 60Hz display over 120Hz, wide cam over wide cam plus ultra wide cam, 2 speakers over 4 speakers? For me there is no reason to do that_
I have a iPad Pro 2018 bought October 2019 and called Apple and I was told that the 2018 is good for another four years for software upgrade. and no need to upgrade but then it’s up to you. I’m keeping mine because it works like new. It’s fast and no issues. Great battery life.
Upgraded from the same 2nd gen 12.9 Pro only because my battery life was really bad, like 2 hours at most. Love the new Air but for content consumption the old Pro was fine.
I own the iPad Air 4th generation, when they finally adopted the current design instead of the older one on the iPad Air 3rd generation. I bought it for the Apple Pencil 2 and handed my iPad Air 3 to my brother, and honestly aside from not having the gold color I loved anymore I had no regrets. I had some small urges over getting a larger iPad Pro just for the bigger size and luxury of making notes easier - I'm a heavy Goodnotes user for studies and work, and I don't use a keyboard attached to it. This 13" iPad Air is probably the one I'll upgrade to if I pull the trigger. My current iPad Air still does the job well and can continue to serve me for a long time coming, but it'd actually be nice to not feel the pain of writing notes by the far edge of the iPad.. it's uncomfortable and does get me to not write properly there as well. I better start saving up I guess. 😂
I have the original 2015 12.9 Pro. The monster still works with the original battery. I think you should stay with the 11. The 12.9 is just plain awkward. I use it when sitting at the kitchen table. It can stand up then. It’s even too big for lap use. My 2020 11 inch Air is my primary. I don’t use my mini much either, but it is good for travel.
You got fooled. I looked at them today at the Apple Store. The new air screen looks the same as my 2020 Air. I was disappointed and left without buying anything,
@@paulstein9258 I haven't even bought it, yet I'm the fool? I'm only still considering it since I get the appeal of having a bigger screen for my use case, which largely is note-taking for classes and studying. Almost everything else including refresh rate, how the display looks like, etc. is secondary. I'll decide for myself when I make my trip to the retail stores selling these new models to try them out. Right now, I definitely understand it's a luxury to have instead of a necessity, given I already own an iPad and I'd need a new pencil if I choose to go buy a new one. That's a luxury I'd have over small size convenience, if it means I can get my work done easier. Until if and when that happens, I'll stick with my current iPad Air.
I have exactly the same air as you and upgrading to 13 inch air. I figured 10.9 inch isn’t large enough comparing to 13 inch not portable enough comparing to mini. I plan to have 2 iPads from now on (mini and large).
Refurbished 13” M1 iPad Pro or M2 Air for the same price? I do not need the extra power, I can barely tell the difference in power between my personal MacBook, which is an M2 and my work computer, which is an M1. I highly doubt I would ever notice the power in an iPad, and honestly if it weren’t for the bigger screen size, I think the standard entry-level iPad would be more than enough for me.
I have the new 13 inch iPad Air and talking about a piece of garbage, was talking this morning with Apple support on why I can not send or receive emails or texts or pictures to others and was told that 13 iPad Air only send and receive from other Apple products so if someone sends a pic from any thing but an apple it will no happen, yes we tested it and yes Apple to Apple works but Apple to android or windows doesn’t work
Do all Apple Pencil Pro functions work on there or is there something withold for iPad Pro users? Also if you want a little cheaper Apple Pencil for this I think it supports the USB-C model (the Pro for some reason doesn't). Yeah that the key board for this does not have function keys is a bumber specially if you consider that the one of the regular iPad does. That said I am not in the tablet market and I am more of an Andriod guy but I played with the configuration of this iPad more then with that of the Pro. Also you can upgrade this thing to a decent storage option (512 GB or more) without paying a ton (it is still a lot but not so much as for the Pro or Macs right?).
Displays are mostly overrated. You get used to it either way. Works with basically everything. Your brain is lazy and wants to put in minimal effort to perceive reality, so it balances out your hormones and neurotransmitters and shit to make you feel normal. This is why people with radically different levels of development around the world generally just feel normal. Live in a shack eating grains and sleeping on a pile of hay for long enough and you will eventually stop noticing that you aren’t on a tempurpedic bed ordering Uber Eats with central heating. Go from the shack to the 2 story house, and eventually you’ll stop feeling grateful and if you live in our consumer culture will start feeling angry that someone else has it even better than you. Long story short, don’t spend money you don’t have just for the display. If you have the money, go nuts, but if you’re some kid in college it’s not worth it.

From a musician perspective a 13 inch screen size without the pro price tag is pretty appealing

It’s only 60hz which is a pretty big difference from the pro having 120hz. When I researched I saved time on trying to buy the iPad Air.
@@Miekolia adaptive 120hz, which is cool for sure. For certain things... But for reading a static pdf file on forscore, it's not so important! Perhaps a battery life benefit if it can drop to 1hz though
@@jameshutchmusicI’m a musician that’s considering getting an iPad Air, but is the pro that much better? How does the 120 hz help?
@@jaleelshaw I'd first ask whether it would be a secondary device or your main one. And what would you use it for - At the price it goes for, you'd get better mileage from a laptop imo. If it's for making music, the 120hz won't have a meaningful impact. But ymmv, in my case I found I'd accidentally turned off 120hz on my phone and didn't notice for months 🤷
I’ve been thinking the same thing. I just wonder if there’s an app that I can use a pencil to notate music, that will transcribe it to a digital chart format.
Upgraded my wife’s M1 Air with the 11” M2 Air since she loves Procreate and was intrigued by the new Apple Pencil Pro features. She didn’t want the 13” model since it would be too big for using it in bed or traveling. She gave me her M1 Air and as someone whose never had one before I am liking it. I’m a screen snob and we have all OLED LG TVs in our house but the LCDs Apple uses are pretty good. Aside from really dark scenes I think even the M1 Air is great for basic stuff and media consumption. I think a lot of people would be served well by saving money on the older model if they don’t have to have the fancy new Apple Pencil.
You’re a good husband ❤
I was upgrading from my 2018 11 inch iPad Pro, so I wanted the CPU boost with the m2. Decided on the 13 inch air versus the 11 inch. Arrives tomorrow!
How isssss it
@@777mehak really liking it
Bought the 13" Air today and I love it. I use mine for online school, gaming, streaming movies, streaming podcasts, listening to music, and reading. I don't use any keyboard or the Apple Pencil. 3 things that I really like are the speed, battery life, and light weight. 2 things I don't like are Touch ID and the speakers. I have basically solved the speakers issue by using my AirPods or a Bluetooth speaker. Touch ID is just going to take getting used to. The iPad Pro is a better tablet overall but the Air is the better value for the price
Is it really that muffled and poor as he said?
You should’ve honestly bought the M2 12.9 inch Pro. Could’ve gotten that for about the same price or less I bet
@@ays5236I haven’t noticed anything muffled when listening to audio. The Pro has 4 total speakers and the Air has 2 speakers so the Pro is louder
@@emilsecker7881I own the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Galaxy S8+ tablet and both have a 120Hz OLED screens. I don’t see a big difference in my day to day usage. I was able to trade in my 2018 11” iPad Pro for $330 so my 2024 13” Air was under $600…that’s a steal for a big screen tablet. If you or anyone else wants to spend $1,000 on a tablet…go right ahead
I have the 13 inch air and the speakers are just fine. I don’t really noticed the muffling. It gets loud enough when listening to music and watching movies.
The new pencil and features alone is enough to get digital artists to consider upgrading to either the M2 Air or Pro. For artists on a budget, starting with the M2 Air is a really compelling package. I'm a visualy impaired digital artist who's been using the 8th gen basic and First Gen pencil. Now I have the option the large screen plus enhanced haptic feedback, all with VoiceOve and full screen magnifyr for accessibility.. I've already started saving, and now working on ways to reach that goal faster!
Just get the M2 iPad Pro. You can get that for a bit less I bet
I’m intrigued.
How do you became a digital artist if you are a VI I know you mentioned using the zoom feature but isn’t it very tedious with the elements on the screen blowing up extremely big.
@@Aviation_tech441 I was a regular artist before advancing down the sight loss spectrum.. I'm careful to work within the constraints of what's comfortable; ; using the multi finger double screen tap to toggle between a set zoom point and fullscreen mode does not add to the mental workload any longer. Still get disoriented unexpectedly but the reasons for that are unavoidable. My mental acuity needs to meet a certain threshold for me consider a higher level task like that.

@@mo8797came here to say that. Anyone who buys an air model is a fool. Buy last years pro model instead of the current year air. Youll still be getting a better products. The air model suckss
I picked the 13” iPad Air yesterday and I love it. It was worth wanting for, coming from an iPad 6! I wanted a wow factor and got it without that high price of the pro model.
How does the battery feel? I’m on iPad 6 as well and I’ve been thinking about upgrading to the new Air, but I’ve seen bad reviews about the battery that have me worried
I prefer the touch button over face Id. I often have to raise my m1 ipad pro up off the desk toward my face to unlock it. Just irritating. Especially in group writing sessions were I would prefer the touch button. It's more discrete and more professional. For a keyboard i use a magic keyboard with all ipads and mac. usually they are on stands for serious work. Side car and all that. I don't like cases with keyboards. My main preferred editing, writing tool and note taking is the pencil. Keyboards are a necessary evil. The ipad folder keyboards are ridiculously expensive as well.

Good luck. I used Apple gift cards for trading in an older iPhone and iPad and my Apple Cash towards the M4 iPad Pro.
Stick with the 4th gen. It’s still a beast. I have one
Must everyone always use apple branded accessories? My old Logitech Crayon with lightning port works perfectly with new M2 Air.
I finally figured why I don’t use my iPad as often as I’d like. I have the medium size 10.9 iPad Air 2020. It’s great and still fast but it’s not small enough and lightweight for reading or quick access and it’s not large enough to use a second screen or do some productivity. So my setup going forward: iPad mini 6 + 13 inch iPad. Just ordered mini 6 on sale (from Amazon) and going to trade in my air 2020 and get new air 13. I’d love to get the pro, but I’m not a super intense user and can’t justify the $1299+ for the pro
The accessories question would be far less of an issue for you if you started considering things like the Logitech Combo Touch. Cheaper, modular design where keyboard and case can be separated, function row, larger trackpad than old Magic Keyboard design, protects the iPad’s sides, kickstand, etc.
Exactly! 3rd party keyboard cases are the way to go. I’m guessing he doesn’t want to mention any 3rd party accessory makers unless they sponsor him.
@@SalivatingSteve I think the more simple explanation is that he doesn’t care unless it’s Apple. I like a lot of his coverage but the lack of interest for some stuff beyond “first party” is a little bit detrimental to the consumer.
I have a combo touch and the logitech pencil both great better value in NZ where US dollars doubles the price of all apple products

I have an iPad mini 5. I have enjoyed the small form factor but the 11 inch Air would be more capable especially for multitasking and with smaller bezels only a bit bigger in the hand. The relatively good price makes an upgrade tempting.
In my opinion 11 inch isn’t a great size. It’s not small and portable enough for reading and quick browsing and it’s not large enough for productivity. It’s kind of in the middle.
@@Anastasia-M24 interesting, I was just using my mini with a cheap 3rd party pencil, and definitely wanted as much space as possible, but I also saw a video where someone was saying 13” air was the best choice but also that it was unwieldy and would need a keyboard!

@@tropico56I already got both (mini in the mail still). It’s not a big problem as I use iPad for work too.
I’m sticking with my 12.9 M1 but if I was buying a iPad today I think it would be the 13 Air, the Pro is just too expensive for what you get at this time but that will change as different vendors start offering discounts
I have the iPad Pro 12.9 inch with the M1 Processor. I probably won't get another iPad until this one can no longer receive the latest iPadOS or if the Battery no longer supplies a decent length of power.
I just bought the MacBook Air M3 15" and the iPad Air and they're superb products. I feel like I am a user that does a little more than an average user, but maybe not quite enough to get the MBP or the iPad Pro, so for me the Air models are ideal and I can save some coin doing it!
Lol same I got the air m2 13 inch with 1 terabyte so it can last me for some years. For the air did you get the 13 or 11 inch and how much storage did you get. I’m trying to see what I should get to see if I need more storage or less.
My Gen 4 IPad is still amazing for drawing and sketching, Sketchbook/Procreate, etc. We are lucky to live in such times we have these things.
If I upgrade, for the new pencil mainly, I'd get the Air, OLEDs burn in and degrade when there's static features like toolbars on the screen.
I like how you touched on the comparison of the iPad air 13" with the previous iPad Pro. Iʻm trying to look for a comparison/buyers guide to see if it would be more worth it to get the new iPad air 13" or go for something like the M1 12.9 iPad pro...
It all comes back to your application
I think for the vast majority of people or at least students iPad Air meets one's expectations and even more but if you want to use it for a specific kind of purpose that requires more you can go for the pro version
i upgraded from an 8th gen to this thing which was obviously an amazing upgrade, although i do miss my headphone jack
Just picked mine up yesterday, I got the Air 13". So far I love it my old Air is still great but I wanted a bigger screen for drawing. I think for me the pro would have been too much for what I really need it for.
oh and the color starlight looks grey to me lol
I stuck between starlight and space grey… because in certain lights I like the gold silver starlight color, but the space grey also looks like a darker silver…
Logitech makes very good keyboards with function keys for iPads.
I still use a $15 Bluetooth keyboard w/ function keys that originally purchased in 2012 for my iPad 2.
Am I wrong in assuming the vast majority of iPad Air customers will give a big NOPE to the $300 Apple keyboard and opt for a
I think there’s a quiet portion of Apple users that don’t use keyboards with the Air at all, I have the m2 15inch MacBook Air have no desire for the keyboard accessory also makes this an attractive proposition for leisure photo editing and kicking back with a big screen in hand.
Yes you are wrong in assuming that.
If I get an iPad I only intend to use the pencil with it and to just give myself a break from the computer since I am a remote student lol. I don’t want keyboards at all, for that I have a laptop 💻
The Apple Pencil usb also works with the new air.
but does it stick to the iPad?

@@nehalmohamed3276my question as well
For $829, you can get a M1 12.9” iPad Pro, keep your pencil 2 and regular Magic Keyboard, and a mini led screen. You probably can’t tell the difference in performance except it the pencil won’t hover. It is 55 grams heavier (11 nickels worth).
It will be supported until 2028 or 2029 and the resale may or may not be higher than the 12.9” air.
I’m upgrading from my iPad Pro 2015. It’s ten years old but it still works perfectly just need a battery replacement
Also you can use the usbc Apple Pencil. You have to buy the new one.
My problem is that you need a case and a maybe a keyboard and the Pencil, etc. To make the best of it's features. Which brings it up to so much money. The least expensive case I found was like $79 but you want it to be durable. After all that I may as well get a Macbook. And then stick with my old iPad air that is eventually going to be unable to update. I didn't realize the Pro has 4 speakers. That is good to know.
The 13 inch Air goes more towards the 2018 or 2020 12,9 inch iPad Pro in terms of dimensions. These guys were a fraction thinner tho 1:16
I have literally never used my iPads speakers. I've had it for 10 years... :) That's why it's lagging and making me think to get this one here. The 13th inch seems nice for future proofing for work stuffs.
Apple has been pushing the iPad towards the MacBook and away from the iPhone (camera placement and keyboard). Yet the Apple logo is configured to be similar to the iPhone (portrait) and not MacBook (landscape). With the camera moved to the long side and the use of the keyboard stand, I think Apple missed a detail, which is the orientation of their logo on the back.
When they introduced the 13" iPad Air, I knew that was the iPad for me. Especially since it now comes in purple. That's something I just can't get in an iPad Pro.
But first I need to replace my iPad mini, which is the perfect size for me, because its physical home button has now broken. I was looking at the iPad mini 6, but that one is getting long in the tooth.
As with all tech, it ALWAYS pays to wait.
Mini 6 is on sale on Amazon, I’ve just ordered it. I plan to order air 13 inch too instead of air 10.9 2020
I just ordered the iPad Air 11" w/256GB SSD, it is my first tablet. I wanted something smaller than my MacBook Pro 16" for travel and photography tethering. I agonized between the iPad Mini and the 11" Air, and ultimately chose the Air. I hope I haven't made a mistake. BTW, the education prices with Apple right now at great, and I paid $708 OTD for the 11" 256GB iPad Air with 2 yrs of AppleCare, and a $100 Gift Card, couldn't be more happy with the price.
I’m literally watching this on my iPad Air 5 (M1 air) and except for the camera,M2 chip and the gb I don’t see many differences and why exactly did the colours get worse than before
You don’t need to upgrade iPads every year. I usually upgrade iPhones every 2 years and iPads every 4 years. You won’t see much difference otherwise
I am a student and mostly working with chatgpt and a lot of note-taking with my apple pencil. I have a 2020 iPad Pro 11" (2nd gen) for 2 years now. My question is, should I switch to the iPad Air M2 because the Apple Intelligent feature won’t be supported on my iPad?
How big and good is this apple intelligent! Honestly that’s the only reason I’m considering
Just picked up the 10. I do see ur point on screen size and performance value ratio🤔
Gosh that finger print sensor is so far away on the 13" iPad Air.... I would have bought thew new Magic Keyboard if it was compatible with the new iPad Air but it's not, so I went with the Combo Touch Keyboard.
What about the iPad Pro M2? Would you recommend the new 13" Air over the last 13" Pro with M2 chip?
13 inches is way too big to move out every day, the 13 version is more like once or twice per week out for university maybe, and mostly a household device. The 11-inch on the other hand is more versatile; if you need a bigger screen, you can connect it to your monitor or TV. On the other hand, I am not thinking of the keyboard, which costs 300-400 euros, I am thinking of a mobile phone instead. But you can get good Bluetooth and so much cheaper keyboards to do stuff. One thing only bugs me and that is the storage space. I am between the 256 for the 11 inches or 512? I do some games, mostly writing for university (maths, chemistry), some stuff for work, but also photography. I spend many hours per day out, up to 12-14 hours out, so I consider the 13 version a risk, too big to walk around with it, the bending issue if I stress it a lot, and some other minor things.
I wonder how the prices of the new air compare to the discounted price of a refurbished iPad Pro M2? 🤔
Maybe a video comparing them would be useful 👍
I saw the 5th gen Air new on Amazon for $399 which is kinda nuts.
Im upgrading from Ipad air 3 so this is going to be an UPGRADE. Getting mine on Wednesday. Im excited.
Hi Greg,
I recently purchased the 13-inch Air with the Apple keyboard. I was wondering if the Apple keyboard can do the "command + F" shortcut. I tried to research it but I couldn't find an answer for the iPad only for the MAC. I'm not sure if I articulated it well but I just mean to be able to quickly search for specific information in textbooks and on websites (my main goal is to use it for school haha) Anyways, Thank you for this awesome and informative video. Wishing you all the best
-Lani : )
I would like to see an honest comparison with the older A14 iPad now at $350. Especially to the new iPad Air. I just don't think I need that much computing power in an iPad.
Honestly I was super excited about the new iPad line up. Anticipation mounted with the delays but this soon changed to disappointment. Yes it’s faster (again). Yes a new size for the air. But as someone with a 2020 pro which other than the chip is the same and in many ways better than the air and without any significant differences in terms of performance when it comes to 90% of the usage against the new Pro, I’m just not seeing a compelling reason to upgrade.
Let’s see if WWDC provides a reason…….
I was interested in the 13” air, but there’s a lot of refurb M1 iPad Pros available for the same price, guess I’m visiting a store now.
Refurbs are always a good idea
I got M1 Pro then traded form M4 olds but then got a 400 off for 13” inch air I don’t see difference but battery is better. I only use iPad for online watching movies and using apps for banking so it’s good device with 90 percent of the apple oled and better battery life
Going to purchase either the 11 inch or 13 inch.... but for multitasking and watching content I am waiting for the tab s10 ultra.... not liking the aspect ratio of the ipad for watching content
I do find it funny that even if you don't buy the Pro iPad, you're forced to buy the Pro Pencil. Are you Pro or not Pro?
I also find it confusing that Apple are pitching the iPads to be "landscape first" with the front camera moving, but kept the Apple logo on the back in the portrait orientation.
I have a 2018 12.9 (battery issues) and a 2021 M1 12.9 Pro--not upgrading this year but really interested in the 12.9 Air. In another year or so when I upgrade, think the 12.9 Air will be sufficient (use a Pencil and Magic keyboard so an upgrade of those too). I listen to Ipad with airpods or earphones so speaker doesn't make any difference either. Lack of face ID will be annoying but for the difference in price--expect I can get used to it--and in a year or so--they may change that too in the Air.
I still can't decide for drawing and some animating. 13 inch air or 11 inch m2 ipad pro
Thank you. but You have two iPads, a 13-inch Air and a Pro.
I think it would be helpful to compare and record sounds using music such as symphonies, classical music, and ballads and play them to viewers. There are no proper comparison videos on UA-cam.
Do I need to get an Apple Pencil Pro? Or does the Apple Pencil USB C work for the air? The representative in the store said that the Apple USB C works either way the iPad Air, but I showed him this video and he said he hasn’t heard this before….
What’s the point of a 13” iPad when a Macbook Air is an alternative with a keyboard. The 11” iPad is a more watching Netflix on the couch type of device. I prefer iPad OS over Macbook but if I wanted a keyboard i’d get a Macbook.
for me I prefer to hand write. The 13 inch tablet is roughly the same as an a 4 sheet of paper. Key boards are generally a nuisance. I do have a macbook for certain apps like Cubase. So both are useful for me. I wouldn't get a keyboard case though. I sorta agree.
You think you're smarter than a 3 trillion dollar company, Two different devices
Love your reviews. I bought a 2024 11” am taking it back to the Apple store and buying a 2024 13” Air. I also own a 2020 13” iPad Pro. To me the colors do not matter because I’ll buy a Folio case to cover it. I’ll get the Air in blue and the case in gray. I do not use a pencil buy may get one for just taking notes. Thanks.
Was going to get this air but with the added cost of my preferred case AND new pencil cos my v2 won’t work, then I can save by moving to a Mac air m2.
Allowing optional devices such as pencil would have been better but apple are not going to force me to update everything for a one model change.
My guess is is a good spec windows machine could actually be a better proposition for my photo editing work.
I don't get caught up in the accessories for iPad. I ditched my Tab S9 for the 11 pro M4 purely for the display. My tablets are like mini TVs at this point and I love beautiful displays to view media content...When Samsung bring their tv OLED displays to their tablets, I will be back. Thanks again.
I missed my Pro. I am replacing the new IPad Air 13in with an IPad Pro 6th Gen for the same price. Not enough oomph in the 13.
Mentioning The Touch ID around the 5:30 mark my brain 404’d and made me wonder how do you take screenshots on a pro?
You can do a single swipe from left lower corner for screenshots, that is if you enable it from your settings.
I compared pro and air at store, I could tell the difference but as he said not drastic. The air has a great display.
The 13 inch apparently has fairly poor battery life, how did you find it?
You mentioned video editing here. Do you think that you NEED the pro in that case? I am really torn between the two devices for this reason alone.
No you definitely don’t need the pro for video editing, the M2 is really capable.
I like the portability and all day usage on one charge , I just have an ipad air M1 no video editing , I do work on it though and find it perfect . I just use a secondary supplier case and keyboard half the price of apples I find it works fine or the onscreen is also adequate for short bursts . I find the pro stuff and mac air really hyped for the average use case extra power is only required for creative users apparently . I have not come across anything I don’t like about the M1 air
I left you a feedback in your other video. You should look into Logitech keyboard - day and night difference, and much cheaper. Have you looked into this?
I’m still on iPad Air 4th Gen and I don’t see any reason to upgrade for new iPad Air or iPad Pro. I came from 2018 iPad Pro where honestly it was not a step down for me when I switched to iPad Air in 2021
P.S. apple products are the way to go is my personal opinion judging by 15 years of going back and forth from apple to android

I guess as a busy person who has rental properties, old dogs, old parents, and am old--- I just can't get worked up about all the small issues. I have had cancer so you know what I worry about-- getting cancer again... lol so the 2 speakers? I am fine-- I feel lucky to just hear! thanks for the help
Well, I have the macbook pro m3 max, top spec except for ram and storage. I just need an ipad as a side device, mainly for entertainment. I still got the pro 11" in the end, I managed to get it at an outlet, new and never used, for about 20% less, just got the base spec, so 256GB but certainly enough to store A LOT of novels, books, videos and audio books. Can store months worth of media easily and I have a small external m.2 ssd with blazing fast speed that I can store all my stuff on in case I want something else on the go.
Luckily for me, I don't need the apple keyboard or pen in the slightest. I mean, I wouldn't complain if I got it, but I just use a mx anywhere 3s and mx keys mini instead if I need a keyboard/mouse kind of thing. The pen is useless to me.
I mean, yeah, maybe the pro is overkill for just media as a side device to use mostly outside of my home, but the tandem oled is better than the m2 pro screen you showed here, the 4 speakers are as you say much nicer, the 120hz will be noticeable for me, especially when reading with all the scrolling, the brightness is a big bonus for outside use and overall the m4 chip will be a longer lasting one than the older m2. But the lack of face ID is somehow one of the most important deciding factors, I just can't stomach the idea of using touch ID again after so many years, except for with my macbook pro but my apple watch unlocks it most of the time. It just ends up being a massive annoyance as it builds up over the years of use it will get, that alone is worth at least 200 bucks.
I got the 256gb pro 11" for about the same price as the 11" air 512gb that I was eyeing at first. Though I got a deal on that too, so it was going to end up a bit cheaper, but I'd rather have 256gb storage and a little bit less content stored and need to transfer things slightly more if that means I can get many more important pros. I mean, since m.2 external ssd exist now that are quite small and light, I see no reason to pay much more for a little bit more memory.
Now I'm just afraid 11" will be too small for me but since I want to bring it along everywhere and I'll be using a pretty bulky ESR case, I think it's better if it's more portable. The difference isn't extreme, the ipad 11" is already about half the size of my 16" macbook pro screen, it'd be just right for reading and consuming content.
Over here in Canada the 11 inch 128gb is 799$ that is a lot of money ,so basicly everything is expensive here
Wow that’s crazy
Yup and I have the Ipad pro 5th gen 12inch and maybe I Will do à trade-in with the new ipad pro
I wanted a 13" iPad Pro M4 for the powerful chip and the gorgeous screen. Instead, I bought a 13" iPad Air because it will do what I want, and it's significantly cheaper. I bought the new Pencil Pro, but I'll never buy a keyboard for it. My iPad is for architectural drawing and sketching in SketchUp Pro. I kind of enjoy the virtual keyboard, but for serious writing, I prefer my MacBook Air or my Mac mini. They have full-featured apps not available on the iPad.
Nice iPad but I still think that it is still over priced. I have had mine for a week and it is okay!

The 120hz will be most noticeable when you watch movie or playing games since there's movement. The pictures is a bit sharper. If you just use for drawing, you won't notice the different, since there's no motion going on. Your hand motion for drawing isn't consider movie/animation.I don't even know who the target market for the iPad Pro (since the mac desktop/laptop are more suitable for this heavy duty professional work) other than people will lot of cash to burn, the iPad air should be sufficient for your need.

As a 12.9” 6th gen m2 pro user, I’ll watch bc nosey but I’ll stick with my device and my partner is way ok with his m1 5th gen air (I think it’s 5th gen?)
I've had the iPad air 5 for 4 years now, and I really love it! I bought the air because I honestly don't need the pro when I have a macbook anyways. Now that I started using my iPad for sheet music in orchestra I noticed that a 13" would be better, but I am not into paying that much money for a pro. FINALLY the Air is in 13"!! Totally getting this one. Then I'm considering getting the iPad mini for reading books 😅Still wondering if I should get the 6 or wait for the new 7...
If you had a 12.9” M2 iPad Pro, would you get the new 13” iPad Air? I really don’t want to spend the money on a new Pro. Also, I only use it for browsing and streaming. lol. Advice?
_why would you get the new 13" iPad Air when you've already had 12.9" M2 iPad Pro? A bit lighter, 0.1" screen size bigger (but actually it's still 12.9"), landscape front cam, pencil pro, more color options, touch ID over FaceID, 60Hz display over 120Hz, wide cam over wide cam plus ultra wide cam, 2 speakers over 4 speakers? For me there is no reason to do that_
@@ksasea thank you for that. I figured that would be the case.
watching on my 12.9 2nd gen ipad pro…. why can’t i quit you home button?!! 😂😂
😅🤣
the new air is only 12.9 size anyways. that 13 in is fake
I have a iPad Pro 2018 bought October 2019 and called Apple and I was told that the 2018 is good for another four years for software upgrade. and no need to upgrade but then it’s up to you. I’m keeping mine because it works like new. It’s fast and no issues. Great battery life.
Upgraded from the same 2nd gen 12.9 Pro only because my battery life was really bad, like 2 hours at most. Love the new Air but for content consumption the old Pro was fine.
I miss the home button. I’ll get used to it….eventually.
I feel that as i type my thoughts lean too keeping my old I-pad pro and a generic keyboard. The dollars in my pocket theory.
You forgot about the display resolution on the 13Inch is 2048p. Compared to the 11Inch
Considering the Logitech Touch like smart alternative. It is a very very good produc and cheaper
13 inch IPads feel and look like holding computer monitors in one's hands. 10.5/10.9 to 11 inch is the middle ground
I’m Using the iPad Peo 11 A12z for video editing , I’m still happy with it but..
Wondering Should I change to iPad Air M2 ?
I own the iPad Air 4th generation, when they finally adopted the current design instead of the older one on the iPad Air 3rd generation. I bought it for the Apple Pencil 2 and handed my iPad Air 3 to my brother, and honestly aside from not having the gold color I loved anymore I had no regrets. I had some small urges over getting a larger iPad Pro just for the bigger size and luxury of making notes easier - I'm a heavy Goodnotes user for studies and work, and I don't use a keyboard attached to it. This 13" iPad Air is probably the one I'll upgrade to if I pull the trigger. My current iPad Air still does the job well and can continue to serve me for a long time coming, but it'd actually be nice to not feel the pain of writing notes by the far edge of the iPad.. it's uncomfortable and does get me to not write properly there as well.
I better start saving up I guess. 😂
I have the original 2015 12.9 Pro. The monster still works with the original battery. I think you should stay with the 11. The 12.9 is just plain awkward. I use it when sitting at the kitchen table. It can stand up then. It’s even too big for lap use. My 2020 11 inch Air is my primary. I don’t use my mini much either, but it is good for travel.
You got fooled. I looked at them today at the Apple Store. The new air screen looks the same as my 2020 Air. I was disappointed and left without buying anything,
@@paulstein9258 I haven't even bought it, yet I'm the fool? I'm only still considering it since I get the appeal of having a bigger screen for my use case, which largely is note-taking for classes and studying. Almost everything else including refresh rate, how the display looks like, etc. is secondary. I'll decide for myself when I make my trip to the retail stores selling these new models to try them out.
Right now, I definitely understand it's a luxury to have instead of a necessity, given I already own an iPad and I'd need a new pencil if I choose to go buy a new one. That's a luxury I'd have over small size convenience, if it means I can get my work done easier. Until if and when that happens, I'll stick with my current iPad Air.
I have exactly the same air as you and upgrading to 13 inch air. I figured 10.9 inch isn’t large enough comparing to 13 inch not portable enough comparing to mini. I plan to have 2 iPads from now on (mini and large).
Refurbished 13” M1 iPad Pro or M2 Air for the same price? I do not need the extra power, I can barely tell the difference in power between my personal MacBook, which is an M2 and my work computer, which is an M1. I highly doubt I would ever notice the power in an iPad, and honestly if it weren’t for the bigger screen size, I think the standard entry-level iPad would be more than enough for me.
Stop being broke, Apple will eventually stop support for your devices
I have the new 13 inch iPad Air and talking about a piece of garbage, was talking this morning with Apple support on why I can not send or receive emails or texts or pictures to others and was told that 13 iPad Air only send and receive from other Apple products so if someone sends a pic from any thing but an apple it will no happen, yes we tested it and yes Apple to Apple works but Apple to android or windows doesn’t work
does the ipad air have an oled? I thought that was only on the new PRO
Nope
LCD display.
I have the air 13 in and I play fortnight on it but I can't seam to get my microphone to work would you have any ideas how to fix it
Do all Apple Pencil Pro functions work on there or is there something withold for iPad Pro users? Also if you want a little cheaper Apple Pencil for this I think it supports the USB-C model (the Pro for some reason doesn't). Yeah that the key board for this does not have function keys is a bumber specially if you consider that the one of the regular iPad does. That said I am not in the tablet market and I am more of an Andriod guy but I played with the configuration of this iPad more then with that of the Pro. Also you can upgrade this thing to a decent storage option (512 GB or more) without paying a ton (it is still a lot but not so much as for the Pro or Macs right?).
It actully has more functions then the pro pencil. And that pencil dont work whit pro.
Displays are mostly overrated. You get used to it either way. Works with basically everything. Your brain is lazy and wants to put in minimal effort to perceive reality, so it balances out your hormones and neurotransmitters and shit to make you feel normal. This is why people with radically different levels of development around the world generally just feel normal. Live in a shack eating grains and sleeping on a pile of hay for long enough and you will eventually stop noticing that you aren’t on a tempurpedic bed ordering Uber Eats with central heating. Go from the shack to the 2 story house, and eventually you’ll stop feeling grateful and if you live in our consumer culture will start feeling angry that someone else has it even better than you.
Long story short, don’t spend money you don’t have just for the display. If you have the money, go nuts, but if you’re some kid in college it’s not worth it.
How do you compare this iPad Air and the 2018 iPad Pro? I do CAD and Sculpt
3:37 Is just me or does everyone else see that the Pro have a cooler tone?
the Apple Pencil USB-C is sposta work with the new Air, at least that what the Apple website says.
Bought the 13" Air today! In Europe the Pro is almost €600 more expensive.
