Hi dear if I buy an iPad can I use a Logitech keyboard instead of buying separately the magic keyboard thanks iam a singer can I use stzrmaker and sing through headphones using my headphone mic as well
I definitely agree with the diminishing returns concept as you go up in price. But I would add a caveat, you are likely to keep this device for 4 or 5 years. All of the iPads will feel noticeably slower and clunkier after that amount of time but that decrease is always more heavily felt by devices on the lower end compared to the higher end. So sometimes it is worth it to spend a bit more to get a better device, knowing that this will extend it’s usability deep into the end of its life cycle.
Totally agree. My 2016 iPad Pro still runs very smoothly. It is a 256GB version and was considered overkill when you look back in 2016, but good thing is it lasts really long
Have a 2020 ipad pro which I only use to red manga. Can confirm it's definitely coping well. Did waste my money on all editing apps tho as a graphic designer.
I agree. I bought my Mini 5 256gb Dec 2020 to use as a gaming/movie/media hub. All my 35 AAA games from Ps1-PS4 and my 4 movies have only used up 152GB so you’re right about the higher tier Eventually in 5 years, I’ll use the the remaining 80GB if more games come out or for movies..I hope
Hey, I wanted to buy an ipad for digital art, editing videos, content creation, studying, notetaking and consuming few multimedia. If I buy an IPAD AIR 5 this year, how long will it last ? I mean how many years could I use it? :)

I bought the M1 Pro 12.9 about 2 months ago after much deliberation. Previously had the basic iPad and while it did everything I wanted I liked the look of the new pro with 256 gb. I really wanted the largest iPad for UA-cam and watching Netflix, Prime etc… the HDR viewing is fantastic and being able to take this iPad out with me, in the car watching films while I wait for my wife shopping! Or down at our beach hut is just perfect. Yes, it is heavy and for the first week or two I thought I’d made a big mistake. However, I very soon got used to it and wouldn’t go back to the old size. It’s fantastic for viewing photos and video. Also great for editing Go Pro stuff. I ack that at £1080 it’s a hefty price tag, but I believe we’ll worth it. It’s definitely a luxury item and of course I’m not getting anything like the use out of it that many people would. I am 69 years old and my eyes are not that brilliant so this for me is a really good choice with emails etc…
With the prices of everything going up I’m so glad you do reviews on stuff like this 🙏🏽 I just bought the pro to write my notes for medical school and I love it 💜
Hey I am Gce student I need ipad becz books are too much expensive and many books are needed Should I buy an ipad Which ipad should I buy, budget! Is mini good for students for notes Or should I go for air 4 Telll me And last storage Plz consider all and suggest me Plz
Buy Samsung tab s7+ or s8+ or s8 ultra way better than iPad’s .I have iPad Pro 2021 then I bought s8+ ,man the difference in crazy .. Spen is way better than Apple Pencil !
THANKS. Finally a content creator that admits that 90% of viewers are no content creators, so even though the creator loves the super premium model that doesn't necessarily translate to the average consumer. I personally bought the lowest version of the Surface Book in 2017 and it carried me through the entire university cycle for 5 years. I never thought it's too slow in any way even though reviewers like LTT basically say "oh it doesn't even have a dedicated GPU, that's useless". And I'm used to fast performance by having a powerful desktop PC. But tech companies rip you off by the endless upgrade cycle, don't fall for it.
i really love the fact that you summarized the review in the beginning of the video for people who dont really want an in depth review, many youtubers should start doing this. great job!
The fact this video starts off saying and explaining what 99% of "reviewers" refuse to say gets an instant like from me. Most people that have an iPad would be just fine with the entry level variant. You've got dozens of "reviews" of the 12.9-inch Pro that spend 10 minutes talking about walking videos, playing games, and maybe if there's time mention taking a note or something. If you have the money to waste, go for it, but if you're just consuming content then don't waste your money on a Pro. Get and entry level model and be happy. If you can find a last gen Air for cheap in good shape with the new M1 being released that's a great option too. As for carrying a notebook or a tablet, if you're strictly Mac/Apple then the biggest reason would be illustration or any other use of the Pencil/a Stylus. Apple strictly plans on keeping touch far away from Macs, so you would have to take out the Macbook and then a drawing tablet to achieve the same functionality as basically an Air or Pro.
I like your point on point of diminishing returns. So true. Again, you put the cart before the horse and you still make it worthwhile watching the whole video mate. Cheers. Well done.
I think "for the money" the Air is still the best ipad you can buy. Yes its nearly double the price of the base one, but you do get very significant improvements. USB-C, 10.9 inch laminated screen, Apple Pencil 2 Support with integrated charging doc, much better stereo firing speakers (left and right on landscape mode), better fingerprint sensor, uncomparable better chip and now with the M1chip and center stage front camera it just gaps that bridge to the Pro models even more and imo it completely renders de 11 inch Pro useless. All these upgrades are worth it imo...i had the 2020 Air and couldnt be happier
but you can get ipad air 256gb at the same price as ipad pro 128gb , one downside is you lose 128gb for pro but with pro will get you 120hz promotion , thunderbolt and face id . thats why i purchased ipad pro 11 inch 128 gb
Hope we get an iPad mini pro in the future as an option. Pro motion, xdr, larger battery, more storage, and maybe even m1 and more ram. Yes it will cost more, but I have not met one person who has the mini and wouldn’t want these options to make it a power house.
if that was ever in student friendly price and not i have a rich dad price plus im from india and many people here use the older ipads and choose the 2019 one too as it supports pencil ofc the rich have unlimited options

You completely missed the Apple refurbished section. You mentioned that students won’t notice the difference between the A and M series processors, so the 2018 iPad Pro in the Apple refurbished section is a much better deal than the current iPad Air and Pro.
@@tash22010 they basically renew anything that may make it outdated so the battery is back up to 100% health so unless you are a creator like Ali mentioned, there is no point in getting new pros if you can just get the old ones. You can also just get 2020 model if ur very concerned about that problem
As an artist who works with absolutely massive canvas sizes I pretty much had to go with the Pro 12.9. I tried the Air but it severely limited my canvas size so I eventually had to upgrade to the Pro. Added to that the 12.9 vs the 11 just gives me more space to work and split screen when I need to see a reference is just so much better on the 12.9 rather than the 11 or 10.9 in screen.
@@bhavnajain3731 If you’re using it for 3D art then you’ll definitely need the higher ram of the Pro. Anything creatively intensive like that will push the iPad to its limits so you’ll want the model with the highest amount of ram (which is the Pro).
@@bhavnajain3731 I’m with Lunabear, I got the 256 gb. I’ve already used up 90 gb of it and I only bought it back in January so 128 gb just wouldn’t have been enough for me. 256 is usually a good sweet spot. Though you can definitely store a lot of your art on cloud services or SSDs to save space you always want to have a little wiggle room with your on board storage. Keep in mind though, you don’t necessarily have to buy the most brand new up to date Pro. I decided to go the refurbished route to save some money and bought the 2020 Pro instead of the 2021 version from Apple’s refurbished store and it looks and works like new (and comes with a year warranty) but was several hundred dollars cheaper than the 2021 Pro. While the M1 chip and 2 extra gb of ram would’ve been nice, the two models don’t actually behave much differently and the 2020 Pro is still leagues better than all the other iPad models on the market.

With regards to bezel size, I think having bigger bezels makes a tablet more comfortable to use. The obsession with bezel reduction comes with a penalty to comfort in this category.
@@MaximusTheChosenOne idk what exactly you're trying to say but bigger bezel size is more convenient for most, my ipad pro 2018 has palm rejection too, so?
I think Mini with Cellular is the best tablet on the market. I had several iPad in the past, and I always thought that it will be the device I will use to write notes, emails, write docs, and consume but find out that in reality I have only consumed staff and only sketched a bit for the fun. I think buying an iPad with all accessories is to lose the fun of using the tablet for quick staff on a bigger screen. Emails, which are 70% of my work, I just read on the device and respond to it from the laptop. All those tablet's keyboards are not comfortable especially when you have to write emails in multi-languages. Thus, I recommend iPad Mini with cellular connectivity which is light, fast to use and consume, and you can even type with your two hands as you do on iPhone.
You’re absolutely right, if it wasn’t for the jelly scrolling, strange scaling and 60hz screen. Make it a 9 inch tablet with 120Hz Amoled display and it would be perfect👌
I recently got an iPad Mini as a writer, editor, and book designer. I wanted to go paperless as doing research, marking up drafts, and writing itself can all be done on devices really well. The savings in ink makes up for the cost within a few projects. I also use it as a sketchpad when I'm practicing shapes or trying to give an idea a rough sketch while I'm out and about. I've found that parts of the work I like to do are limited on the iPad in general so I have a macbook as my workhorse with a large drawing tablet for that serious work. I'm extremely happy with this choice as I'm disabled and the form factor of the mini is more accessible for being out and about in a wheelchair. I will frequently use the mini to take notes when I'm going to an event I'm covering or going to a conference where I'm learning from other writers. It's easier to have the little device that is about the size of a book in the one pouch I have that doesn't get in the way of pushing myself over pulling out a bigger iPad or my macbook from my backpack on the back of the chair. I would love it if the mini had the pro motion display but I am so glad it has the laminated screen. That is one distinction I'd throw in for new artists wanting to use the iPad for art. The air or the mini would be better choices than the budget iPad just because the laminated screen makes a huge difference that is worth the cost. The upgrade to pro motion displays is less valuable to me than the upgrade to get the laminated screen.
I got the IPad Pro 12.9 and it’s amazing. If you can afford it definitely get it. The big screen really makes a difference, as a student it makes multitasking so much better. I didn’t get the magic keyboard, it was out of my budget but I did get the Apple Pencil. Bluetooth keyboards work really nicely tho. Thanks for the video it really helped make up my mind.
@@Anniinskii thank u! im getting the same storage too since i want it future proof and i dont want to worry about storage (tho external drives can be utilized for that)
hello guys! I'm a med student who is trying to decide which ipad should I go for. I'm thinking about air or pro but 11" model. I need storage so I'm going to buy at least 256 gb. And I'll use them for most likely for writing or drawing. I'm going to use them for about 8 or 10 years so it's important for me. which one should I get in this circumstances??
for digital painting and design the larger screen size and performance capabilities of the pro 12.9 are really amazing. beyond these functions though, I can’t see a lower tier option being a bad choice. I got mine for the very specific reasons mentioned above.

iPad mini is the one for me, because of the size, portability, and fits just right to what I needed. I don’t need a iPad Air or iPad Pro, they’re too big for what I’m planning to use and what I’ve used my iPad mini so far. I’m happy and satisfied with my experience with my iPad mini 6. The best!
I really love your point of view of things. You give us general learning at the start of the video or conclusions. And then if we want a deeper info we could continue watching. Your opinion is such an important thing when I want to buy something. 🥰❤️❤️❤️
As an investing enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. I do have a significant amount of capital that is required to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make decent returns.

Hello sir!! Can you help me decide to what ipad should I purchase? I'm a freshmen student, an engineering student. I'm looking for an Ipad that is good for making notes, solving numbers and illustrations. Thank you
I have the iPad, but I’m cheating on iPadOS and ordering that Samsun tab s8+ to see what the difference is for productivity. Really interested in Dex mode.
At that point, the M1 MacBook Air smokes both and unless you need a Touch Screen, just get a efffin’ laptop instead. OR get a Microsoft Surface Pro instead if you need both for productivity. DeX makes the Galaxy Tab S8 a glorified Chromebook and their Snapdragon chips are garbage compared to Apple Silicon, and Android apps are lukewarm unless you touch Samsung’s Notes app, which makes the Apple Notes app look absolutely embarrassing.
The IPad mini is still great for creators especially visual seeing there are sketchbooks this size and smaller. I’m a person who makes art almost daily either drawing or digital sculpture and reads almost daily. I’m also out a lot due to work so the mini has been a great choice for me especially due to its portability allowing me to pull it out anywhere and get to work pretty comfortably and really build consistent habits in multiple areas by having so many tools in one place on a device I have no excuse not to bring with me. The portability, power and the IPadOS apps have allowed me to up my productivity greatly enough that literally everyone around me has noticed. I will pull out my iPad anywhere like I do my phone. I only have productive apps on my iPad as well, I turn off IMessage and no social media so that when I’m in iPad mode my energy is only going toward creative and productive things. The rest I do on my phone. When I’m home I prefer my desktop setup unless I’m feeling lazy and don’t wanna get out of bed in this case the size of the mini comes in handy again. Often just journaling in goodnotes alone from bed gives me the boost to start my day on those lazy mornings.
If you’re going to get the M1 iPad Pro, PLEASE do make sure to consider the M1 MacBook Air instead (speaking from experience). You will thank me later, iPadOS 15 is the main bottleneck for the M1 chip.
I buy the cheapest iPad and keep it for 5 years, then sell it for half what I paid new. I then buy a new basic iPad, rinse repeat. I even have music synths running on mine with low latency!
This was the best iPad comparison video I've watched, and believe me, I've watched quite a lot of them. As a student who just wants to optimize PDF reading and note-taking I guess I'll go for the basic one :)

I am a maths student and I purchased the 12.9 inch cause I needed a big screen. Air’s screen was too small for me. I cannot say that I use the M1 chip, but I am definitely not regretting the decision. It was 1.100 pounds with a pen and I am happy with the decision
First time that I came around here and unfortunately one of the worse "Tech Reviews" that I have ever seen. I only hope that this is just an exception and not the rule! In-Other-Words, you should not see yourself as a tech reviewer by any means. Stick to financial or whatever that you are good at...
I personally own a MacBook Air that stays at home as a desktop, an iPad Pro 12.9 for research and note taking and an iPad mini 6 to read up on articles and do some work during transit time to work, which takes around 2 hours both ways. Although it seems like an overkill, but having to work full time and study part time, setting up this system works really well for me! I think ultimately it is what you are using the iPad for and whether it suits your lifestyle and help you be more productive.
Couldn’t afford a Pro on my own but with help from my family I got the 12.9 inch Pro. I’m about to start college to get a BA in digital art and already have a part-time job as a book illustrator. I’m hoping this iPad lasts me a good 6 years, so I can earn back the investment my family made.
I am leaning towards the mini. My main need is to (peer-) review loads of academic papers for conferences and journals. I also feel the need to write physically on a paper I am reviewing, but printing all of them is kind of nuts... What's your take on this? To read and annotate academic papers with multiple colors, is the mini wide enough to do a decent job at it? Many thanks!
I have an iPad mini, which I love, and an iPad Pro 11. I reckon that the mini wouldn’t be as suited for your needs as something like the iPad Air only because of the screen real estate. I use my mini more like a digital journal and an extension of my phone. Reading papers, especially in pdf format, isn’t ideal on a smaller screen like this. I would turn the iPad landscape and see maybe 5-7 lines of text? On the iPad Air/Pro, you can take in more visual information before you have to scroll. But if you like to focus on text in that way, the iPad Mini is great. (Fwiw, if I had to keep only one of these devices, I’d keep the mini and give up the pro because I don’t create content anymore and the mini is perfect for life in general). For either of these devices, grabbing a paper like screen protector makes the writing experience really nice. I use my pencil on both devices and enjoy the experience. Hope this helps!
I really like the mini, but it is definitely a little on the small size. I'd try to handle both in person and see how you feel. Also, if you feel inclined to go for a larger ipad, I'd look at buying used previous gen ipad pros on ebay, which are often quite heavily discounted
iOS is limited in functionality in general. You can't use the full power of the M1 on an iPad with this operating system. If Apple gave the choice to the consumer to install MacOS on an iPad (with M1), now you can use the full power of that chip and even do more. This would give me a justification to buy an iPad. As it stands now, I can buy a Galaxy Tab and do more than what an iPad can do for the same price.

Hey Ali! I am looking to get back into self improv,ent and productivity after a pretty dark period in my life.

This video instantly helped me choose the iPad mini as the best iPad for my use case!! I was stuck in indecision for MONTHS looking at the bigger, more powerful models ...but I really just need a cozy reader / research / writing tool cause I always have my laptop. The iPad mini with the Apple pencil is great!! Thanks Ali and team!
Hey I am Gce student I need ipad becz books are too much expensive and many books are needed Should I buy an ipad Which ipad should I buy, budget! Is mini good for students for notes Or should I go for air 4 Telll me And last storage Plz consider all and suggest me Plz
thank you! this is exactly what i needed - i’ve been thinking about getting my first ipad for a bit as a laptop replacement and wanted comparisons that weren’t just on apple’s website. my gut was to go with the basic since i am probably 80% consumer and you have confirmed it, so 👍🏼
I’m probably as much a consumer as you are and I’m sure the base iPad is going to be a great choice! I have an iPad Air 3 with an even older A12 Bionic processor and it’s still running super fast today. This is true even in comparison to an M1 MacBook Air that I use daily.
I had a basic iPad and lost it traveling. It doesn’t fit in my purse. I replaced it with a mini that I can tuck safely away in my purse when I am out and about.
I have the 2019 basic iPad 9.7 and it’s been great for games, browsing, organization, and light illustration… 100% worth the few hundred bucks I spent, but I am excited to one day upgrade to the Pro and better Apple Pencil when I’m a more serious illustrator. Also MY IPAD IS MY COMPUTER so 90% of people won’t need the pro ESPECIALLY if you have a separate computer. You’re talking 3x the price so know what you’ll actually use and save the money!
I am media professional, I need to work on multiple excel, word open at a time. also I need PDF and Power Point in the system. Also I watch huge content on all OTT platform available on the market. please suggest one ipad for me. I am not a technical guy and little confused. so if your can help me out this.
i really beginning to love the ipad mini 6. Since i'm a student, i think it's very convenient to take notes during class, to draw, and etc. Also it's very small so it's easy to carry. I absolutely in love with the purple ipad mini, my favorites items has to be the keyboard with the purple case just because it's so cute with the all of the purple collection. Hope i get the ipad mini. And love your energy Ali.......
Ok but now for someone who is on a budget but will need to take notes and make PowerPoint presentations etc. I am thinking the iPad Air would be the best since I’d have the money for the keyboard and pencil. Would that be enough to replace a laptop?
I hunted for my M1 12.9 IPad Pro so it was ‘new other’ on Ebay for £800. I got the magic keyboard 2nd hand but in excellent condition for £200. It’s also not the new-gen one and yet still fits perfectly. And bought the pencil new but with a student reduction from Apple for about a 107. So 1107 in total instead of, what, nearly £1447 which is RIDICULOUS. But I have to say I love it and it is actually in many ways more helpful for studying (as I’m into ‘liquid text’ in a big way and other ‘Ipad-centric’ programmes). It’s also way more interactive via the touchscreen and pencil. Put it this way, if Apple would magically allow it to operate Mac OS maybe via say an even more premium Pro Max model, MacBook sales would probably collapse. Which is why they won’t do it of course.
Honestly i would recommend the pro 2018 11 inch, because you get the 120 hz, 2th generation pencil and the processor is pretty much the same as the air 2022. when you buy them refurbed from apple directly you will get one thats like new anf the performance is pretty mich the same. The only downside is the risk of software updates but i guess like always we will get a few more years updates at least 2-3 years. So thats my choice and recommendation!!!
That’s the one I have. I don’t have a MacBook Pro or any mac-related desktops/laptops and I’m taking Ali’s PTYA classes which I’ll be doing on my pro 2018! 🤪
That diminishing returns graph is a super-useful heuristic. I don't know why I've never thought of that before, but it's a terrific visualization. I do think the graph should be steeper between the basic iPad and the iPad Mini, because the Apple Pencil 2, the laminated screen, and USB-C for external storage are really fundamental improvements to creative work of any kind. Nevertheless, applying the concept of diminishing returns is a very useful way of thinking about the decision.
I got the iPad Pro 12.9 inch through parent work points and I have to say there isn’t anything better. It is a great option for anyone in my opinion and can be used for anything. I personally chose so I didn’t have to get one for another long time
Owning both an iPad Pro 11" and an iPad Mini 6, I fully understand what you're describing. Gosh, the iPad Mini is such a delight device to hold and use, but that 120Hz display is the only thing keeping me from selling my iPad Pro. I really hope the Mini 7 to have a better screen, that would be an instant buy from me LOL!
Omg been waiting for a review like this from Ali🥳 Been looking to upgrade my Gen 7 (paired with a K380 Logitech keyboard) which I mainly use for media consumption, document viewing and occasionally note-taking. It honestly still works really well and has great battery life, but is kinda hard to write on (maybe I’m just not used to digital note-taking or need a matte screen protector) and the design is starting to feel old. Decided to go with the Air 5 starlight as I really like the sleek design/fresh colours and it better suits my needs. Momentarily thought of getting the 11’ Pro for the extra storage and 4 speakers, but it seems like overkill as I’ve only ever used 20GB on my current device. Also went to try the Pros out at a physical store and found the ProMotion screen slightly dizzying for me. With the Air 5 I could get a magic keyboard (my dream keyboard🥺) with the money left instead. I also wouldn’t have to baby it as much as the Pro still feels quite expensive for me! (Not me thinking that iPad Mini 6 looks nice after watching this video...)
The iPad mini is brilliant. Loving mine too. I would consider a Pro in the future if they could offer a desktop class OS. That would be a game changer.
@@arquiel They should at least offer that option or do what Samsung does with their DEX desktop mode. iPad OS needs a new OS to make use of that M1 chip.
Great to hear! I'm still considering whether I want the iPad mini 6 or the iPad Air 5. After months of doing research on the iPad mini, not to mention having the most experience with the mini out of all of these, watching countless reviews on the iPad mini, looking and finding the most likely case brand and exact case, nit-picking each screen protector and looking at Reddit for that, etc, I thought the iPad mini 6 was practically a perfect option. Using the Apple "Compare iPads" feature, the iPad mini seemed like an absolute win for me. Then the iPad Air 5 rolls along and has a lot of the features that are on the iPad mini plus a bigger screen. It is missing the Quad Flash and is still $100 dollars more at least, along with the cost of a case, screen protector, Apple Pencil 2 (probably getting a refurbished one) or other stylus, and whatever other accessory I may get. I'm really not sure at the moment. I am a student, and they want us to buy an iPad that we'll have to go to training for and use a lot over there. Not to mention, I've been needing a new iPad for a while and I've gotten close to filling up all the storage, so definitely in need of an upgrade. Does anyone have any pointers for me?
@@luke3912 As your a student I would go for the iPad Air in this case as it offers a bigger screen which you may need for work. Can’t go wrong with either though.
Don't forget to check 3rd party markets like craigslist and the others. I got a 2 months old M1 iPad Pro 256gb for 700 usd and it came with protection other extras. Same for almost everything you buy. It also helps the environnement, giving a second life to objects.
This was without a shadow of a doubt the most wishy washy review of multiple ipads I have ever seen, I like the diminishing returns concept but man just say yes or no, every time you make good points for and against each iPad but you never say 'yes this is worth it if you need xyz' or 'no, you don't need this model because the one below offers the same experience for less money' its not a bad thing to pick a side, this review means nothing if all you say is 'if you have this much money to burn'. If I'm watching this review chances are I'm picking between two models and have the money for both, I'm just looking for a yes this is worth it if you do XYZ or no you don't need this one because you don't do ABC.
I wish I watched this video first. Would’ve save a bunch of time! I loved that you went straight to the point in the first few minutes. I was on the fence between the Air and 11 inch pro mainly because of storage but I don’t plan on downloading a ton of apps or games because I’m a console guy. So the 64gb will most likely do the job. If push comes to shove I’ll just buy a pro after the M2 comes out.
I’m still deciding if I want to mini 😅 yes, I feel like I am a creator. I do photo editing and video editing on my MacBook or on my built PC. I was thinking of using the mini as a quick way to sign contracts, watch content, maybe use Lightroom even tho it seems unrealistic 🙂
It’s super realistic bro the mini has the highest DPI of all iPads & has P3 color & True Tone so you won’t have any problems getting an accurate and consistent color from your images.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw him flip ipad mini at 10:46 (Btw the screen of my ipad air 5 cracked after i dropped it and the apple people said that screen of ipad and iwatch cant be repaired.. I regret buying it :( i would rather go for mini or the budget ipad)
I am both actually. I do use my ipad as well for taking notes a lot, became completely paperless. I did get me last year the M1 iPad Pro 12,9” as I got it for a good price. I did use it more and more for work, zoom and teams calls, notes and mail. As well I did plan my UA-cam vids and did respond to comments on my channel. In retrospect that one is overkill and the size is a tad too big. I did use before the budget I pad only taking notes with the regular Appel pencil was not that much fun. I liked the headphone jack. If they bring out a base iPad with laminated screen I actually would go back to it as I like the size of it. As my MacBook is the 16” I still like to response to comments on my current iPad if the upcoming iPad Air is what I expect I might change and use this for that and than the iPad mini could become the better device for my needs. But let’s see. Good vid and conclusion Ali, cheers from Germany 🙏🏻
*Please help me to choose which ipad i should buy between Mini 6 256gb/Air 5 256gb/Pro 21 128gb??* I need an ipad with center stage, can use apple pencil 2nd gen, enough storage, the additional keyboards are comfortable to wear & i dont really care abt the chipset/prossessor is the old/new one (the price is almost the same it makes me so confused)

Hi dear if I buy an iPad can I use a Logitech keyboard instead of buying separately the magic keyboard thanks iam a singer can I use stzrmaker and sing through headphones using my headphone mic as well
Rational review love it
I definitely agree with the diminishing returns concept as you go up in price. But I would add a caveat, you are likely to keep this device for 4 or 5 years. All of the iPads will feel noticeably slower and clunkier after that amount of time but that decrease is always more heavily felt by devices on the lower end compared to the higher end. So sometimes it is worth it to spend a bit more to get a better device, knowing that this will extend it’s usability deep into the end of its life cycle.
I bought the 2018 iPad Pro 11" when it came out. it still feels as smooth as in 2018. I agree with you.
Totally agree. My 2016 iPad Pro still runs very smoothly. It is a 256GB version and was considered overkill when you look back in 2016, but good thing is it lasts really long
Have a 2020 ipad pro which I only use to red manga. Can confirm it's definitely coping well. Did waste my money on all editing apps tho as a graphic designer.
I agree. I bought my Mini 5 256gb Dec 2020 to use as a gaming/movie/media hub. All my 35 AAA games from Ps1-PS4 and my 4 movies have only used up 152GB so you’re right about the higher tier
Eventually in 5 years, I’ll use the the remaining 80GB if more games come out or for movies..I hope
Hey, I wanted to buy an ipad for digital art, editing videos, content creation, studying, notetaking and consuming few multimedia. If I buy an IPAD AIR 5 this year, how long will it last ? I mean how many years could I use it? :)

This is the best well explained video ever! The way you explain is particularly appealing
I bought the M1 Pro 12.9 about 2 months ago after much deliberation. Previously had the basic iPad and while it did everything I wanted I liked the look of the new pro with 256 gb. I really wanted the largest iPad for UA-cam and watching Netflix, Prime etc… the HDR viewing is fantastic and being able to take this iPad out with me, in the car watching films while I wait for my wife shopping! Or down at our beach hut is just perfect. Yes, it is heavy and for the first week or two I thought I’d made a big mistake. However, I very soon got used to it and wouldn’t go back to the old size. It’s fantastic for viewing photos and video. Also great for editing Go Pro stuff. I ack that at £1080 it’s a hefty price tag, but I believe we’ll worth it. It’s definitely a luxury item and of course I’m not getting anything like the use out of it that many people would. I am 69 years old and my eyes are not that brilliant so this for me is a really good choice with emails etc…
Excellent ! Thank you for sharing!

Great choice.

@@Pilgrim1st 11"
I run an air 3 to take all of my notes for CS and it works pretty well. If you can spend the extra for the larger screen, go for it.
I went with the 12.9 and I wish there was an air version of this size as the larger size is really important for students imo
The only reason I want the iPad Pro 12.9 is for the screen size. I’m kinda blind so I need a big screen 😂

@@sledgehammer1968 thank you I will check it out
THANKS. Finally a content creator that admits that 90% of viewers are no content creators, so even though the creator loves the super premium model that doesn't necessarily translate to the average consumer.
I personally bought the lowest version of the Surface Book in 2017 and it carried me through the entire university cycle for 5 years. I never thought it's too slow in any way even though reviewers like LTT basically say "oh it doesn't even have a dedicated GPU, that's useless". And I'm used to fast performance by having a powerful desktop PC. But tech companies rip you off by the endless upgrade cycle, don't fall for it.
i really love the fact that you summarized the review in the beginning of the video for people who dont really want an in depth review, many youtubers should start doing this. great job!
The fact this video starts off saying and explaining what 99% of "reviewers" refuse to say gets an instant like from me. Most people that have an iPad would be just fine with the entry level variant. You've got dozens of "reviews" of the 12.9-inch Pro that spend 10 minutes talking about walking videos, playing games, and maybe if there's time mention taking a note or something.
If you have the money to waste, go for it, but if you're just consuming content then don't waste your money on a Pro. Get and entry level model and be happy. If you can find a last gen Air for cheap in good shape with the new M1 being released that's a great option too.
As for carrying a notebook or a tablet, if you're strictly Mac/Apple then the biggest reason would be illustration or any other use of the Pencil/a Stylus. Apple strictly plans on keeping touch far away from Macs, so you would have to take out the Macbook and then a drawing tablet to achieve the same functionality as basically an Air or Pro.
I like your point on point of diminishing returns. So true. Again, you put the cart before the horse and you still make it worthwhile watching the whole video mate. Cheers. Well done.
I think "for the money" the Air is still the best ipad you can buy. Yes its nearly double the price of the base one, but you do get very significant improvements. USB-C, 10.9 inch laminated screen, Apple Pencil 2 Support with integrated charging doc, much better stereo firing speakers (left and right on landscape mode), better fingerprint sensor, uncomparable better chip and now with the M1chip and center stage front camera it just gaps that bridge to the Pro models even more and imo it completely renders de 11 inch Pro useless. All these upgrades are worth it imo...i had the 2020 Air and couldnt be happier
but you can get ipad air 256gb at the same price as ipad pro 128gb , one downside is you lose 128gb for pro but with pro will get you 120hz promotion , thunderbolt and face id . thats why i purchased ipad pro 11 inch 128 gb
@@Pinakrankhamb Yeah but those features don't matter that much compared to the storage
@@casu782 120hz display panel definitely is equivalent to around 30gb. It makes a big difference. And lidar scanner is a nice gimmick as well.
@@Pinakrankhamb completely agree, it will last longer
Also, the newer ipad air has M1 chip
I did not know he said that in teh vid
Hope we get an iPad mini pro in the future as an option. Pro motion, xdr, larger battery, more storage, and maybe even m1 and more ram. Yes it will cost more, but I have not met one person who has the mini and wouldn’t want these options to make it a power house.

You completely missed the Apple refurbished section. You mentioned that students won’t notice the difference between the A and M series processors, so the 2018 iPad Pro in the Apple refurbished section is a much better deal than the current iPad Air and Pro.
But it’s already 4 years old so wouldn’t it be better to get a newer device, especially for a student who needs longevity in their ipad?
New iPad Air or iPad Pro 11 2020 (refurbished) for the same price ?
I’m split between the two
@@romainvandenschrick3426 compare the display panels at an apple store to make your final decision. That's why I went with the Pro you mentioned.
@@tash22010 they basically renew anything that may make it outdated so the battery is back up to 100% health so unless you are a creator like Ali mentioned, there is no point in getting new pros if you can just get the old ones. You can also just get 2020 model if ur very concerned about that problem
@@spooks3802 i meant in terms of software updates
As an artist who works with absolutely massive canvas sizes I pretty much had to go with the Pro 12.9. I tried the Air but it severely limited my canvas size so I eventually had to upgrade to the Pro. Added to that the 12.9 vs the 11 just gives me more space to work and split screen when I need to see a reference is just so much better on the 12.9 rather than the 11 or 10.9 in screen.
i wanted to get one but im confused so should I get air 5 or pro coz I've heard the 3d features don't work on iPad air😫and I wanna use for art
@@bhavnajain3731 If you’re using it for 3D art then you’ll definitely need the higher ram of the Pro. Anything creatively intensive like that will push the iPad to its limits so you’ll want the model with the highest amount of ram (which is the Pro).
@@Sajirah also any idea about the storage coz the iPad is super expensive so I'm thinking about whether to have 128 or 256GB 😥😥
@@bhavnajain3731 I’m with Lunabear, I got the 256 gb. I’ve already used up 90 gb of it and I only bought it back in January so 128 gb just wouldn’t have been enough for me. 256 is usually a good sweet spot. Though you can definitely store a lot of your art on cloud services or SSDs to save space you always want to have a little wiggle room with your on board storage.
Keep in mind though, you don’t necessarily have to buy the most brand new up to date Pro. I decided to go the refurbished route to save some money and bought the 2020 Pro instead of the 2021 version from Apple’s refurbished store and it looks and works like new (and comes with a year warranty) but was several hundred dollars cheaper than the 2021 Pro. While the M1 chip and 2 extra gb of ram would’ve been nice, the two models don’t actually behave much differently and the 2020 Pro is still leagues better than all the other iPad models on the market.

With regards to bezel size, I think having bigger bezels makes a tablet more comfortable to use. The obsession with bezel reduction comes with a penalty to comfort in this category.
Exactly! That's why buying a second hand ipad pro makes more sense, which i did.
@@ubaidullaher1245 what site did you use to buy this?
@@ubaidullaher1245 your response makes no sense to this comment
That’s what palm rejection technology is for. So this the logic isn’t exactly accurate.
@@MaximusTheChosenOne idk what exactly you're trying to say but bigger bezel size is more convenient for most, my ipad pro 2018 has palm rejection too, so?
I think Mini with Cellular is the best tablet on the market. I had several iPad in the past, and I always thought that it will be the device I will use to write notes, emails, write docs, and consume but find out that in reality I have only consumed staff and only sketched a bit for the fun. I think buying an iPad with all accessories is to lose the fun of using the tablet for quick staff on a bigger screen. Emails, which are 70% of my work, I just read on the device and respond to it from the laptop. All those tablet's keyboards are not comfortable especially when you have to write emails in multi-languages. Thus, I recommend iPad Mini with cellular connectivity which is light, fast to use and consume, and you can even type with your two hands as you do on iPhone.
I prefer the magic keyboard to my M1 MAc’s keyboard although they are quite similar.
The earlier Smart Keyboard was unworkable imo though..
Yup
You’re absolutely right, if it wasn’t for the jelly scrolling, strange scaling and 60hz screen. Make it a 9 inch tablet with 120Hz Amoled display and it would be perfect👌
Absolutely agree.
@@Zuudloarn with that mindset in 2025 we will have 11" ipad mini 8
I recently got an iPad Mini as a writer, editor, and book designer. I wanted to go paperless as doing research, marking up drafts, and writing itself can all be done on devices really well. The savings in ink makes up for the cost within a few projects. I also use it as a sketchpad when I'm practicing shapes or trying to give an idea a rough sketch while I'm out and about. I've found that parts of the work I like to do are limited on the iPad in general so I have a macbook as my workhorse with a large drawing tablet for that serious work. I'm extremely happy with this choice as I'm disabled and the form factor of the mini is more accessible for being out and about in a wheelchair. I will frequently use the mini to take notes when I'm going to an event I'm covering or going to a conference where I'm learning from other writers. It's easier to have the little device that is about the size of a book in the one pouch I have that doesn't get in the way of pushing myself over pulling out a bigger iPad or my macbook from my backpack on the back of the chair. I would love it if the mini had the pro motion display but I am so glad it has the laminated screen. That is one distinction I'd throw in for new artists wanting to use the iPad for art. The air or the mini would be better choices than the budget iPad just because the laminated screen makes a huge difference that is worth the cost. The upgrade to pro motion displays is less valuable to me than the upgrade to get the laminated screen.

I got the IPad Pro 12.9 and it’s amazing. If you can afford it definitely get it. The big screen really makes a difference, as a student it makes multitasking so much better. I didn’t get the magic keyboard, it was out of my budget but I did get the Apple Pencil. Bluetooth keyboards work really nicely tho. Thanks for the video it really helped make up my mind.

for digital painting and design the larger screen size and performance capabilities of the pro 12.9 are really amazing. beyond these functions though, I can’t see a lower tier option being a bad choice. I got mine for the very specific reasons mentioned above.

One of the best “which iPad to buy” video I have seen.
iPad mini is the one for me, because of the size, portability, and fits just right to what I needed. I don’t need a iPad Air or iPad Pro, they’re too big for what I’m planning to use and what I’ve used my iPad mini so far. I’m happy and satisfied with my experience with my iPad mini 6. The best!

Hello sir!! Can you help me decide to what ipad should I purchase? I'm a freshmen student, an engineering student. I'm looking for an Ipad that is good for making notes, solving numbers and illustrations. Thank you
I have the iPad, but I’m cheating on iPadOS and ordering that Samsun tab s8+ to see what the difference is for productivity. Really interested in Dex mode.
At that point, the M1 MacBook Air smokes both and unless you need a Touch Screen, just get a efffin’ laptop instead. OR get a Microsoft Surface Pro instead if you need both for productivity. DeX makes the Galaxy Tab S8 a glorified Chromebook and their Snapdragon chips are garbage compared to Apple Silicon, and Android apps are lukewarm unless you touch Samsung’s Notes app, which makes the Apple Notes app look absolutely embarrassing.
The IPad mini is still great for creators especially visual seeing there are sketchbooks this size and smaller. I’m a person who makes art almost daily either drawing or digital sculpture and reads almost daily. I’m also out a lot due to work so the mini has been a great choice for me especially due to its portability allowing me to pull it out anywhere and get to work pretty comfortably and really build consistent habits in multiple areas by having so many tools in one place on a device I have no excuse not to bring with me. The portability, power and the IPadOS apps have allowed me to up my productivity greatly enough that literally everyone around me has noticed. I will pull out my iPad anywhere like I do my phone. I only have productive apps on my iPad as well, I turn off IMessage and no social media so that when I’m in iPad mode my energy is only going toward creative and productive things. The rest I do on my phone. When I’m home I prefer my desktop setup unless I’m feeling lazy and don’t wanna get out of bed in this case the size of the mini comes in handy again. Often just journaling in goodnotes alone from bed gives me the boost to start my day on those lazy mornings.
what about the 3d features problem coz many of those 3d options don't work well then😣
If you’re going to get the M1 iPad Pro, PLEASE do make sure to consider the M1 MacBook Air instead (speaking from experience). You will thank me later, iPadOS 15 is the main bottleneck for the M1 chip.
Been using my old iPad 3 since 2012, it still runs smoothly for extremely basic stuff.
Very informative and systematic review.. it has always been 👍🏼
I buy the cheapest iPad and keep it for 5 years, then sell it for half what I paid new. I then buy a new basic iPad, rinse repeat. I even have music synths running on mine with low latency!
This was the best iPad comparison video I've watched, and believe me, I've watched quite a lot of them. As a student who just wants to optimize PDF reading and note-taking I guess I'll go for the basic one :)

I am a maths student and I purchased the 12.9 inch cause I needed a big screen. Air’s screen was too small for me. I cannot say that I use the M1 chip, but I am definitely not regretting the decision. It was 1.100 pounds with a pen and I am happy with the decision
First time that I came around here and unfortunately one of the worse "Tech Reviews" that I have ever seen. I only hope that this is just an exception and not the rule! In-Other-Words, you should not see yourself as a tech reviewer by any means. Stick to financial or whatever that you are good at...
I personally own a MacBook Air that stays at home as a desktop, an iPad Pro 12.9 for research and note taking and an iPad mini 6 to read up on articles and do some work during transit time to work, which takes around 2 hours both ways. Although it seems like an overkill, but having to work full time and study part time, setting up this system works really well for me! I think ultimately it is what you are using the iPad for and whether it suits your lifestyle and help you be more productive.
I don't want to buy an ipad and can't afford it but I still enjoyed this video.
Couldn’t afford a Pro on my own but with help from my family I got the 12.9 inch Pro. I’m about to start college to get a BA in digital art and already have a part-time job as a book illustrator. I’m hoping this iPad lasts me a good 6 years, so I can earn back the investment my family made.
I hope you get nothing but success in whatever you are doing bro

@@VIZOP thank you!
I am leaning towards the mini. My main need is to (peer-) review loads of academic papers for conferences and journals. I also feel the need to write physically on a paper I am reviewing, but printing all of them is kind of nuts... What's your take on this? To read and annotate academic papers with multiple colors, is the mini wide enough to do a decent job at it? Many thanks!
I have an iPad mini, which I love, and an iPad Pro 11. I reckon that the mini wouldn’t be as suited for your needs as something like the iPad Air only because of the screen real estate. I use my mini more like a digital journal and an extension of my phone. Reading papers, especially in pdf format, isn’t ideal on a smaller screen like this. I would turn the iPad landscape and see maybe 5-7 lines of text? On the iPad Air/Pro, you can take in more visual information before you have to scroll. But if you like to focus on text in that way, the iPad Mini is great. (Fwiw, if I had to keep only one of these devices, I’d keep the mini and give up the pro because I don’t create content anymore and the mini is perfect for life in general).
For either of these devices, grabbing a paper like screen protector makes the writing experience really nice. I use my pencil on both devices and enjoy the experience. Hope this helps!
I really like the mini, but it is definitely a little on the small size. I'd try to handle both in person and see how you feel.
Also, if you feel inclined to go for a larger ipad, I'd look at buying used previous gen ipad pros on ebay, which are often quite heavily discounted
Hii, where do you read your arcticles?
iOS is limited in functionality in general. You can't use the full power of the M1 on an iPad with this operating system.
If Apple gave the choice to the consumer to install MacOS on an iPad (with M1), now you can use the full power of that chip and even do more.
This would give me a justification to buy an iPad. As it stands now, I can buy a Galaxy Tab and do more than what an iPad can do for the same price.

Hey Ali! I am looking to get back into self improv,ent and productivity after a pretty dark period in my life. I burnt out and was I’ll and I have stopped doing my homework on time my school results are slipping and I have been very I’ll. two of my close friends have been diagnosed with cancer one of them is expected to die soon, how do i work on improving myself again without burning out again?
This video instantly helped me choose the iPad mini as the best iPad for my use case!! I was stuck in indecision for MONTHS looking at the bigger, more powerful models ...but I really just need a cozy reader / research / writing tool cause I always have my laptop. The iPad mini with the Apple pencil is great!! Thanks Ali and team!

@@davidcohen2631 yes
thank you! this is exactly what i needed - i’ve been thinking about getting my first ipad for a bit as a laptop replacement and wanted comparisons that weren’t just on apple’s website. my gut was to go with the basic since i am probably 80% consumer and you have confirmed it, so 👍🏼
I’m probably as much a consumer as you are and I’m sure the base iPad is going to be a great choice! I have an iPad Air 3 with an even older A12 Bionic processor and it’s still running super fast today. This is true even in comparison to an M1 MacBook Air that I use daily.
I had a basic iPad and lost it traveling. It doesn’t fit in my purse. I replaced it with a mini that I can tuck safely away in my purse when I am out and about.
Masha allah...the kind of review i was looking for!
I have the 2019 basic iPad 9.7 and it’s been great for games, browsing, organization, and light illustration… 100% worth the few hundred bucks I spent, but I am excited to one day upgrade to the Pro and better Apple Pencil when I’m a more serious illustrator. Also MY IPAD IS MY COMPUTER so 90% of people won’t need the pro ESPECIALLY if you have a separate computer. You’re talking 3x the price so know what you’ll actually use and save the money!
I want to buy a cheap iPad but with promotion. Can someone help me out?
You can't imagine how i enjoyed the upfront conclusion. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Fr any video needs thisssss
I am media professional, I need to work on multiple excel, word open at a time. also I need PDF and Power Point in the system. Also I watch huge content on all OTT platform available on the market.
please suggest one ipad for me. I am not a technical guy and little confused. so if your can help me out this.
Also I will keep the system with me for a long time.
i really beginning to love the ipad mini 6. Since i'm a student, i think it's very convenient to take notes during class, to draw, and etc. Also it's very small so it's easy to carry. I absolutely in love with the purple ipad mini, my favorites items has to be the keyboard with the purple case just because it's so cute with the all of the purple collection. Hope i get the ipad mini. And love your energy Ali.......
Ok but now for someone who is on a budget but will need to take notes and make PowerPoint presentations etc. I am thinking the iPad Air would be the best since I’d have the money for the keyboard and pencil. Would that be enough to replace a laptop?
I hunted for my M1 12.9 IPad Pro so it was ‘new other’ on Ebay for £800.
I got the magic keyboard 2nd hand but in excellent condition for £200.
It’s also not the new-gen one and yet still fits perfectly.
And bought the pencil new but with a student reduction from Apple for about a 107.
So 1107 in total instead of, what, nearly £1447 which is RIDICULOUS.
But I have to say I love it and it is actually in many ways more helpful for studying (as I’m into ‘liquid text’ in a big way and other ‘Ipad-centric’ programmes).
It’s also way more interactive via the touchscreen and pencil.
Put it this way, if Apple would magically allow it to operate Mac OS maybe via say an even more premium Pro Max model, MacBook sales would probably collapse.
Which is why they won’t do it of course.
Honestly i would recommend the pro 2018 11 inch, because you get the 120 hz, 2th generation pencil and the processor is pretty much the same as the air 2022. when you buy them refurbed from apple directly you will get one thats like new anf the performance is pretty mich the same. The only downside is the risk of software updates but i guess like always we will get a few more years updates at least 2-3 years. So thats my choice and recommendation!!!
I have the same since a couple years!
That’s the one I have. I don’t have a MacBook Pro or any mac-related desktops/laptops and I’m taking Ali’s PTYA classes which I’ll be doing on my pro 2018! 🤪
Bought mine just some days as long as apple makes software updates till 2224 imo its def worth to buy even today
Processor speed is not the same. Air is almost twice as fast.
@@aryansawhney its pretty mich the same, of course the data seems better but in daily use its basically the same…
for me, i can't live without ProMotion... lol
That diminishing returns graph is a super-useful heuristic. I don't know why I've never thought of that before, but it's a terrific visualization. I do think the graph should be steeper between the basic iPad and the iPad Mini, because the Apple Pencil 2, the laminated screen, and USB-C for external storage are really fundamental improvements to creative work of any kind. Nevertheless, applying the concept of diminishing returns is a very useful way of thinking about the decision.
The paintings in the background are beautiful. ❤
Where is it sold?
I got the iPad Pro 12.9 inch through parent work points and I have to say there isn’t anything better. It is a great option for anyone in my opinion and can be used for anything. I personally chose so I didn’t have to get one for another long time
God is with you all godbless and your families and everyone in the world amen 🙏 god and Jesus are good amen much love keep up the great content
Owning both an iPad Pro 11" and an iPad Mini 6, I fully understand what you're describing. Gosh, the iPad Mini is such a delight device to hold and use, but that 120Hz display is the only thing keeping me from selling my iPad Pro. I really hope the Mini 7 to have a better screen, that would be an instant buy from me LOL!
love the upfront conclusion, makes me feel that you take care of people's time. You got a new sub!
Omg been waiting for a review like this from Ali🥳 Been looking to upgrade my Gen 7 (paired with a K380 Logitech keyboard) which I mainly use for media consumption, document viewing and occasionally note-taking. It honestly still works really well and has great battery life, but is kinda hard to write on (maybe I’m just not used to digital note-taking or need a matte screen protector) and the design is starting to feel old. Decided to go with the Air 5 starlight as I really like the sleek design/fresh colours and it better suits my needs. Momentarily thought of getting the 11’ Pro for the extra storage and 4 speakers, but it seems like overkill as I’ve only ever used 20GB on my current device. Also went to try the Pros out at a physical store and found the ProMotion screen slightly dizzying for me. With the Air 5 I could get a magic keyboard (my dream keyboard🥺) with the money left instead. I also wouldn’t have to baby it as much as the Pro still feels quite expensive for me!
(Not me thinking that iPad Mini 6 looks nice after watching this video...)
I’m considering this exact update, any advice?
The Ipad mini is of course a good deal technically but it's way too small for students or for doing work in general. Wouldn't recommend it.
The iPad mini is brilliant. Loving mine too. I would consider a Pro in the future if they could offer a desktop class OS. That would be a game changer.
I doubt theyd do that because it will kill their macbook lineups
@@arquiel They should at least offer that option or do what Samsung does with their DEX desktop mode. iPad OS needs a new OS to make use of that M1 chip.
Great to hear! I'm still considering whether I want the iPad mini 6 or the iPad Air 5. After months of doing research on the iPad mini, not to mention having the most experience with the mini out of all of these, watching countless reviews on the iPad mini, looking and finding the most likely case brand and exact case, nit-picking each screen protector and looking at Reddit for that, etc, I thought the iPad mini 6 was practically a perfect option. Using the Apple "Compare iPads" feature, the iPad mini seemed like an absolute win for me. Then the iPad Air 5 rolls along and has a lot of the features that are on the iPad mini plus a bigger screen. It is missing the Quad Flash and is still $100 dollars more at least, along with the cost of a case, screen protector, Apple Pencil 2 (probably getting a refurbished one) or other stylus, and whatever other accessory I may get. I'm really not sure at the moment. I am a student, and they want us to buy an iPad that we'll have to go to training for and use a lot over there. Not to mention, I've been needing a new iPad for a while and I've gotten close to filling up all the storage, so definitely in need of an upgrade. Does anyone have any pointers for me?
@@luke3912 As your a student I would go for the iPad Air in this case as it offers a bigger screen which you may need for work. Can’t go wrong with either though.
@@AM_9924 Interesting, okay, thank you for replying
Don't forget to check 3rd party markets like craigslist and the others. I got a 2 months old M1 iPad Pro 256gb for 700 usd and it came with protection other extras. Same for almost everything you buy. It also helps the environnement, giving a second life to objects.
This was without a shadow of a doubt the most wishy washy review of multiple ipads I have ever seen, I like the diminishing returns concept but man just say yes or no, every time you make good points for and against each iPad but you never say 'yes this is worth it if you need xyz' or 'no, you don't need this model because the one below offers the same experience for less money' its not a bad thing to pick a side, this review means nothing if all you say is 'if you have this much money to burn'. If I'm watching this review chances are I'm picking between two models and have the money for both, I'm just looking for a yes this is worth it if you do XYZ or no you don't need this one because you don't do ABC.
Ali’s Tech Videos are such fun! I’m here for it 👏🏽
Call me oldschool, but the budget Ipad is the only one with a headphone jack
M1 is not just about performance, but also about battery backup, which is important for 100% people.
WHY do you speak so fast?
I wish I watched this video first. Would’ve save a bunch of time! I loved that you went straight to the point in the first few minutes. I was on the fence between the Air and 11 inch pro mainly because of storage but I don’t plan on downloading a ton of apps or games because I’m a console guy. So the 64gb will most likely do the job. If push comes to shove I’ll just buy a pro after the M2 comes out.
iPad mini is the best in portable aspect and fits in your back pocket. Ipad air is overall best in my opinion. It just depends on what you prefer
I’m still deciding if I want to mini 😅 yes, I feel like I am a creator. I do photo editing and video editing on my MacBook or on my built PC. I was thinking of using the mini as a quick way to sign contracts, watch content, maybe use Lightroom even tho it seems unrealistic 🙂
It’s super realistic bro the mini has the highest DPI of all iPads & has P3 color & True Tone so you won’t have any problems getting an accurate and consistent color from your images.
@@CinemaZiggy ahh shit you convinced me now to buy one LMAAAOOOO much appreciated my g
My heart skipped a beat when I saw him flip ipad mini at 10:46
(Btw the screen of my ipad air 5 cracked after i dropped it and the apple people said that screen of ipad and iwatch cant be repaired.. I regret buying it :( i would rather go for mini or the budget ipad)
I am both actually. I do use my ipad as well for taking notes a lot, became completely paperless.
I did get me last year the M1 iPad Pro 12,9” as I got it for a good price.
I did use it more and more for work, zoom and teams calls, notes and mail. As well I did plan my UA-cam vids and did respond to comments on my channel. In retrospect that one is overkill and the size is a tad too big.
I did use before the budget I pad only taking notes with the regular Appel pencil was not that much fun. I liked the headphone jack. If they bring out a base iPad with laminated screen I actually would go back to it as I like the size of it.
As my MacBook is the 16” I still like to response to comments on my current iPad if the upcoming iPad Air is what I expect I might change and use this for that and than the iPad mini could become the better device for my needs. But let’s see.
Good vid and conclusion Ali, cheers from Germany 🙏🏻
*Please help me to choose which ipad i should buy between Mini 6 256gb/Air 5 256gb/Pro 21 128gb??*
I need an ipad with center stage, can use apple pencil 2nd gen, enough storage, the additional keyboards are comfortable to wear & i dont really care abt the chipset/prossessor is the old/new one (the price is almost the same it makes me so confused)
