Recently I was exploring making a video on the 'minimum requirements' Apple Ecosystem. How usable are the cheapest/oldest Apple products still supported in their respective OS? Well, very quickly I found that those devices kinda suck. So I changed the premise (I'm allowed to do that). I submit to you that for $1300 you can build yourself an absolutely excellent Apple Ecosystem

Would you make any changes to this ecosystem with the same budget to play with? Why or why not? Plus, check out the Best Buy mobile app: go.magik.ly/ml/1xptb/
The only changes I would make is I would get an 8th gen iPad the last one with the white basil and it has a headphone jack. Probably get a better Apple Watch because I want the latest Apple Watch for the tap feature. And then a mini iPhone are you on an iPhone 12 mini
Me personally I can't find much of a use for an iPad in my life as of yet so I'd cheap out on the iPad/skip it entirely and get an iPhone that would get me another 2-3 years of updates. maybe a 13/13 pro.
Skip the watch, replace with Airpods Pro. As long as the Apple Watch battery hasn't hit at least a week, I would never bother buying one.
hey luke my macbook pro recently stopped working and I was wondering if you had a spare macbook that is relitively new That you don't need if I could have it becaude I am currently doing my homework on my phone and It has proven to be verry dificult. Thanks. Ps yr amazing
Luke the one thing that's really worth mention in your Eco system and possibly the reason why the iPhone 11 is so cheap is that the iPhone 12 is 5G. I'd bump the budget to get that.
This is where Apple leads the industry. The Ecosystem and longevity of their products are remarkable. My Series 1 Apple Watch still works perfectly with my iPhone 14 Pro, M1 MBA and iPad Pro. I consider it my budget setup because they can be used for years making it affordable over the long run.
Yes, Apple products are a long investment!
What do you use your apple watch for?
@@CFC.NobarR i personally use it to track my health and sleep (it works really well!)
Just don't buy them all at once or you'll probably upgrade everything at the same time. As Tim Cook once said, "We put the air in Macbook Air in your Wallet"
These ecosystem video you do are immensely helpful. They provide excellent perspective on apple purchases. I always consult these whenever I'm in the mood to buy. Please continue to do these in future as Apple updates the line-up.
Luke is right, especially fanless MacBook Air M1 has incredibly great value. M1 is still 5 years ahead in terms of CPU architecture:
M1 ...... 2333 pts GB6 ....... 3.2 GHz ...... 2333/3.2 = 729 pts/GHz
Zen4 ... 1948 pts GB6 ....... 4.5 GHz ...... 1948/4.5 = 433 pts/GHz ..... 1.68x for M1
M1 has still 68% higher IPC which is very impressive (equal to 5 to 7 years of advantage in CPU architecture development). Second hand M1 Air is my first Apple product and it's literally the best peace of HW I ever bought. I would recommend 16 GB RAM though.
Whenever you're in the *mood* to buy? Are you really that rich mate?
@@santoshpssnot at all. I said mood to buy. I don’t actually buy. I just like to fantasize about it
@@joaocanhoto2654 Oh that's better then hahah... I sold many newly bought Apple products because I became broke (because of them)... will never buy one unless I get so rich I don't care about money lol...
@@joaocanhoto2654same here 😂😅
you are "right on the money" with this one Luke. If you add the AirPods 3 to the list (an absolute must-have for the ecosystem), you would have validated my apple product build-out.
I beg to differ.
The airpods are the one thing I wouldn't consider in this ecosystem. I'd prefer earbuds from Anker or Sony. They are very well integrated with Apple devices too and also have multipoint if you need that.
@@shalomrutere2649 Does kinda defeat the Apple part of the ecosystem though. I'm not aware of any headphones that can simultaneously connect to more than 2 devices at once, that'd be the one other edge of the AirPods, since they could switch between the Mac, iPad, and iPhone.
Anker would likely be better value though
@@shalomrutere2649 I appreciate what you saying; however, for the sake of an “Apple” ecosystem, an apple product is what we have to recommend. I am not of the opinion that apple makes the best products in all of their categories.
@@00SNIVY00
I agree with the part of connecting to more than two devices. As for the ecosystem part, it's understandable that it should be made up of only Apple products but my view is that the contributions that Airpods make to the overall system are so insignificant that they can be replaced by another.
Replacing any of the other four with a product from another company would greatly affect the ecosystem.
@@shalomrutere2649 ah! Very good point. For average users, who (I presume) this ecosystem recommendation is geared at, there are times when the seamless switching of sound from one device to the next and other subtleties that they won’t have to think/research about, make the AirPod 3 an easy recommendation for me
Thank you for sharing this perspective. It’s great to see a review where a normal or “average” consumer like myself can get the most of out today’s technology at a reasonable price without having to spend the most on the latest and greatest. It’s also a great video for a small or medium business owner to also get their organization on the latest tech and budget accordingly in these challenging economic times. This video has a really invaluable perspective - please keep making them!
Watching this video on my 2018 iPad Pro 11 inch. I bought it when it was new and I am now going on over five years of use and still going strong.Tremendous value.
7:03 loved when you typed out an essay on the ipad desktop
I used an 11 Pro for a few days whilst my 13 mini was in for repair. The battery wasn't the greatest but it's so damn comfortable, even compared to the mini. The performance holds up well and the cameras rival my 13 mini, sometimes beating it!
Bring back the minis!!
I’m keeping my 13 mini for as long as possible
then why buying the 13 mini??
One of your best Videos. All of these products make sense. This is the best way to get into Apple products.
Fully support the Series 5, I have been hanging on to mine and if you don't care about fitness features it's still fantastic. And I love having the latest devices!
I've been waiting for another ecosystem video!
Luke, your apple ecosystem videos are the ones who hooked me into it from the first place, I remember how a few years ago after searching for some information about the ecosystem, I run into one of your videos and it convinced me to rethink about buying a new iPhone 12 Pro, instead I bought a used iPhone Xs, used watch s4 44mm, and a pair of new AirPods Pro 1st gen.
It even convinced me to sell my intel MacBook Pro 16" 2019 and use my 2012 Unibody 13" for one more year!
My current ecosystem:
M1 Pro MacBook Pro 16" (2nd hand!)
iPad Pro 2020 11" (2nd hand!)
watch s4 44mm eSim (2nd hand!)
iPhone 15 Pro (New)
AirPods Pro 2 (New)
Great video.
I strongly agree with the ecosystem you have put out! In fact, until just recently, I had basically the same thing (minus the iPad). Currently, and this is my opinion, I have the ideal ecosystem which consists of the 15” MacBook Air (got for $899), iPhone 11 Pro Max (got for $350), the Apple Watch S6 (got for $150), and the AirPods Pro 2 (got for $90). Altogether that’s a price of about $1500 which is about as much as the new MacBook Pro 😎
I would also recommend considering the Mac mini + iPad Pro with sidecar instead of MBA. This is my current medical school setup and it's amazing. Pair with a stand for a modern iMac G4 typebeat.
Luke, exactly what I needed to hear. I need total refresh and you just gave me the road map! I've been sidelined for 5years because of health reasons but have just picked up a new contract and insurance so my 2011 MBA 11", iPhone 6s(last with a headphone jack), and iPad Air 2 (with a burned screen) are all long past their need for update, and the addition of an Apple watch would help my health monitoring. Thanks!
get a 16 gb macbook air! you will not regret it
ram
Good video Luke, hard to argue with the logic and savings
There’s so much data in comparing depreciation curve in Apple products really easier to find best value.
Also Apple ecosystem is a must have for anyone. It’s iCloud connects services from simple picture to advanced banking services is the heartbeat of our digital ID with its most valuable product of all… locked privacy protections. Apple is freedom.
During Luke’s sponsor spot I paused the video and guessed what the products would be and I nailed them, I guessed M1 MBA, iPhone 11 Pro or iPhone 12, 2018 iPad Pro and an Apple Watch 5. All are currently the best right now, especially the iPad and the MacBook. I’m currently writing this on my 2018 iPad Pro 11 that I’ve owned since 2020 and it’s still a great device I don’t see replacing anytime soon. I also own the Apple Watch Series 4, and considering a Series 5 or maybe even a Series 6 is not all that more expensive, I’d just buy one of those instead. I’ve had my Series 4 since 2018 which was a pre-order one that shipped in October 2018 and it’s still good, it does everything you’d want it to do, but battery life took a nosedive after watchOS 10 was installed, so if you own one like me it’s still fine to use but I wouldn’t go out buying one now.
I had a different experience with watchOS 10 on my Series 5. Initially, the battery life was terrible, but now (10.2) it’s back to normal. _However,_ swipes only register one out of four or five times instead of reliably every time like they used to.
Since I _know_ Apple knows this, and it’s intentional to get us to upgrade, Apple is pretty close to losing me out of principle, even though their products are still the best, and I should stay with them for pragmatism.
I straight up destroyed the battery on my 12 pro max from using it and the battery wore out and was under apple care and they said they wouldnt fix it ended up getting a 14 pro max to replace it cause I couldnt wait till the 15 came out not much difference really
Haha I did almost the same thing and our guesses were practically identical. I have not used a Macbook since 2018 when i sold my 2015 MBP but thought the M1 MBA would be the best value from videos and others opinions on it.
This is an excellent video, with an excellent selection of products! I definitely agree on everything. For me personally, I would tweak the ecosystem slightly by not having a computer, and bumping up the iPad, and adding headphones. I have both the M1 Air and an iPad Air 5, and I find myself using the iPad Air many, many more times than the computer. It’s just so easy to reach for! The computer I use maybe once a week, but the iPad is a daily thing for me.
Lots of love!
awesome video.
would’ve gone for the series 7 just for the bigger screen and fall detection.
Love this concept for a video Thank you!
The biggest thing I'm getting from this video is how cheap the second hand market is in the US… getting the same models here in France would be a lot more expensive.
I have an iPhone 11 Pro and I would say a cheaper regular iPhone 11 would be my choice for this mission, the third lens is useless (so low quality that I don't recommend using it at all) and I'm fine with LCD screens.
Apple Watch 4 is still great to me too, the rest of the selection (M1 mba + iPad Pro) is still perfect indeed. 👍
the third lens is great for potraits
It's the same here in the UK. It would all be a lot more expensive.
This would be 1700€ in Slovakia 😢
Perhaps because of the amount of Apple products available, the price is lower when bought second hand.
Yoo… Indonesian here, those setup would still cost roughly $2000 here 😅
Honestly would’ve enjoyed to see some sort of headphones on this. Comparing beats to AirPods etc to complete the setup would’ve brought this video over the top
Had the MacBook Air M1 (2020) for about a year now, and it's amazing. the battery is so large it can last for about 3 days without a charge with light-moderate usage, and it effortlessly runs photo editing programs let alone lighter programs like writing. It's the perfect work machine like everyone says.
Love this. I got a S7 watch for 160 used to replace a first gen SE, and it's cellular! bargain and almost identical to S9!
Thanks for sharing. I tend to buy more expensive items to last longer term. Blessings on your day!
I have the series 5 watch since it came out. Still going strong. No issues with battery life, the always on display is definitely user preference.
Very helpfu comparisons
6:12 I bought an iPad Air 5th gen as I use it to take notes, read books and generally do stuff in college. It's a really versatile device that's both an extension of my iPhone and a laptop-like hybrid since i also use it with a keyboard case. I can understand why people just skip it altogether - It's only useful in such specific use-cases, usually you're better off just buying a MacBook since it's a more open, desktop-first experience instead of closed touch-first one
"It has bezels the size of Oklahoma". As being an OK native, I am baffled by this.
You're going to be into Battery Service territory quite soon with one or two of those. Certainly the watch - my Series 5 has started requesting one - and also the iPad. So that might be another couple of hundred dollars not too far down the road.
M1 Base model over m2 I love the speakers on the m1 the “thinness” is only relative to what angle you look at it from .
Finally a top noch Apple Ecosystem video! 😀
Great video Luke! I have got MBA M1, Apple Watch 6, iPad 10, iPhone 11. And ecosystem is perfect, but I wanna refresh that stuff because it’s olds and boring …
Hey Luke, just want to say thanks for all of your videos. Your knowledge and opinions helped me decide to get an M1 MBA during pandemic. It's the best I've ever made. I experienced zero issues with this laptop and Mac OS is surprisingly make me feel more productive than Windows 😝
Very good video, Luke, thanks!
I agree with most of the list, except the iPhone (because I like small phones, I would get the 12 mini, but for most people the normal 12 would be a sensible choice, and cheaper than the 11 Pro)
My personal ecosystem cost around 1800€ (bought all of it used):
- M1 Pro 14" MacBook Pro (1100€)
- 11" iPad Pro 2018 (200€) + Apple Pencil (90€)
- iPhone 12 mini (140€)
- Apple Watch 7 41mm (110€)
- Airpods Pro (140€)
Very satisfied with most of it (especially the low prices I paid for them), just the Airpods Pro are too expensive, and the battery of the 12 mini isn't the best, but thats a trade-off I can live with for the small size (and price)
Great choice mate!
in what world you can find an iPad Pro 11" 2018 for 200€, an iPhone 12 Mini for 140€ and and Apple Watch Series 7 for 110€??? you must be dreaming
well I would be happy too, if I got any of any those for those prices! Where I live (europe too), I'd be lucky if i could get them for less than 75% more on top of what you paid!
@@chengmichaelearth. If you look hard enough, you will find lol.
Your AirPods Pro are most likely fake Chinese knockoffs. I’d never buy those second hand.
I also have 11" ipad Pro 2018 and I never expected it would be holding for so long. I have absolutely no need to buy any newer iPad. It was one of my best purchases for an apple device.
iPad is easily apples best device, they last 10 years and more.
most people don't use them to their full potential
Rocking the 2018 iPad Pro since launch. While the performance remains incredible , the battery has noticeably degraded when running through my daily tasks. Looking forward to upgrading to the 12.9inch M3 iPad Pro!
These kinds of videos are money saving treasure troves! Thank you good sir for putting this together!
The iPhone 11 Pro is the heart of Luke System. He has it right
on the M1 MacBook Air. The 11” iPad Pro is also right on. Then
Getting one step ahead on the
Watch always on really makes sense. Thank you Mr Luke😅
Question , which MacBook would you recommend for an upcoming photographer / videographer ? So many options and I’m not quite sure where to start
I need an iPad because I’m an artist and it’s just my favorite way to draw ever, just having an all-in-one drawing solution I don’t need to sit in front of my computer or a desk for is so nice, I’d skip the watch though probably
I just bought a 5th gen purple ipad. air, fully specced. I love it! And I have it grouped together with an m1 imac, a second gen iphone SE, and 2 homepod minis.
I agree completely with the validity and value of this system. I am watching on a 2018 iPad Pro (12.9). I run an M1 MacBook Air as my daily and business machine. I upgraded from an iPhone 11 Pro to iPhone 13 Pro simply because the upgrade was available… I still have the 11 Pro as a backup. I would delete the Apple Watch however…I’ve tried twice with them, and the battery life is still a deal breaker for me. I use another brand available on a popular online marketplace we all use 😉 that has a 2 week battery life. It gives me all the functionality I ever used from Apple Watch.
Thanks again Luke for all you do here!!!
still rocking my 2018 iPad Pro. It’s still lightning fast but I’ll probably upgrade next year before it loses all resale value
Still rocking a 2018 iPad Pro here, and it’s still more than adequate for my needs. It’s worth mentioning that it’s (I think) the cheapest iPad Pro that supports stage manager and has the ‘more space’ option to increase usable resolution.
What a great video on a topic that doesn’t get enough attention cause it isn’t about and the latest shiny object and with a perspective that’s always fresh and unique.
As an Android/Windows User, I'm quite shocked for the value you've got with these items. Keep up the good videos!
I have the XR, not new thou (it's from 2019), It's still going strong. But yeah, updates and support are cornering me into upgrading next year. same for my iPad 9.
hey luke my macbook pro recently stopped working and I was wondering if you had a spare macbook that is relitively new That you don't need if I could have it becaude I am currently doing my homework on my phone and It has proven to be verry dificult. Thanks
Yes
I got the 15 pro max, apple watch series 7, macbook air 15 zoll m2 and and ipad pro 12,9 2020. Really happy with it and the perfect ecosystem
My iMac 2017 21.5imnch intel with 8GB is still perfect on Ventura and is so fast to date (with usb c ssd)
Love these videos
I have an iPhone 8, an iPad 8, a MacBook Pro from 2008 and an Apple Watch SE the first
Recently got a iPad and have been using it in tandem with my MacBook and iPhone for the last few weeks. Too a flight and it came in clutch for downloading content for the flight. I’ve used it to FaceTime and browse and shop on a bigger screen in places my laptop wouldn’t fit. I think it’s the lowest of my apple items in importance but it’s been worth it for me so far.
I agree except for iPhone and iPad: regular 13 is much more capable than 11 Pro, iPad 9 can be found for $240 for used model. For most people who don't even know what is 120Hz and barely ever use telephoto camera, they're better combo. 13 for the capability and latest features, 9 for cutting corners.
I have all of these along with Beats Fit Pro and a Mac Mini dual monitor desktop setup. I love having a MacBook and Mac mini
I have an iMac 2015 4K, iPad 9 and iPhone 14 Pro Max as my ecosystem and it’s more than enough for me. I mean I didn’t pay for the iPhone (got it as a gift), paid only $80 for the 9th gen from trade-ins and the iMac I got a good deal for $307. Plus the iMac supports OpenCore Legacy Patcher which is great and my iPad 9 does the heavy lifting while my Mac is geared for projects and my iPhone is used for using as a phone. For me, it’s plenty.
Completely agree. This is a great selection of devices.
Thank you Luke. I was thinking of an m2 mac mini but instead I think im getting the m1 macbook air. It seems like a best deal even if its used
i used that 2018 11" pro for almost 5 years worked great the whole time no slow downs or issues at all but finally upgraded to the 12.9" m1 it was worth the upgrade
I think the biggest oversight here, especially with a 2018 iPad is the quality of the battery.
The latest items I brought from Apple was my Apple Watch SE2
I still use my
iPhone 11
iPad 5th Gen
And my MacbookPro 2017 where I mix and record as an Audio Engineer.
So I don’t see why is not impossible
Got me thinking of getting more for my money. Going to look for a 3rd gen 11in iPad Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Thanks for the tips.
I'm glad the first ground rule you stated was 'no intel' as when you started listing off the budget ecosystem and mentioned 2018 Macbook I was like dafuq?!
Thanks for another awesome video,...just FYI in Australia and roughly the same kit I costed out around AU$2000
I've also watched the MB Air M1 fixing video and I still can't deal with the washed out colors of the screen.
Amazing video Luke! So helpful
Omg I almost have the same config as yours Luke, so I own a MacBook Air M1, iPad Pro 2018 11” and an iPhone 12 Pro
Hi can you do a video on ultra 2 wall papers or best apps
I have been using M1 iPad 11" at school connected to an monitor with a Logitech keyboard folio case and have stopped using my 2015 MBA at school.
I currently use an iPhone SE 2020 as my main phone solely so that I have a mute switch. It is quite difficult to stop all notification noises from coming out of an Android phone and I had had complaints from a number of employers about beeps coming out of my phones. Now that I have an iPhone I make zero use of the Apple ecosystem. I have disabled the iCloud. I use Microsoft One Drive for cloud storage and use Amazon and Google for films and music. When I first set up my iPhone I installed the 75% of the apps from my Android phone that were available for the iPhone. I still have my rather more flexible Android phone for use in the evenings.
I have the iPad 5th Generation from 2017 for about 6 months and it’s doing fine just want to put that out there 😊😅❤but great vid Luke
Ive had the 11 pro for over a year and I have 0 complaints. Except Face ID doesn’t always work the best on it lol
Is it possible to connect a MacMini to a M1 12.9 iPad screen plus be able to use the hotspot feature (cellular version) of the iPad to connect to the internet? The ecosystem of the Apple products is nice, but confusing to me. An application video on how to use the ecosystem would be nice. Thanks for your video.
This is amazingggg. But what aboutt those that enjoy both worlds? Hopefully, you’ll do a mixed budget ecosystem. For example, owning an iPhone plus an android tablet. Or vice versa. I would love to see your suggestions. I think a huge chunk of viewers are looking forward to that type of video, which is quite hard to find tbh.
Me building my Apple ecosystem in years. Started with an iphone and apple watch series 3, then 2021 12.9 iPad Pro saw how easy it was to access files via phone and iPad bought a used magic key board and loved it. Fast forward to a year I bit the bullet and bought a Macbook Pro 14 2021 at first didn't see why I needed it but slowly transitioned from my iPad to macbook. My recent purchase now is an apple watch ultra 2. And I'm loving my apple products, I'm planning to get the airpods max next. I'm not a crazy apple follower where I upgrade products yearly, I love the longevity of some of the products they have.
Thanks Luke, I really like these videos you do. Only thing is personally, I prefer a refurb 2020 iPad Pro instead of 2018, they’re so similar that they’ve depreciated similarly, and I know support for the A12Z will be longer than the A12X so I’m more future proof.
Just my personal opinion ofc, can’t go wrong with the 2018 either!
I don't care about support, but the additional RAM does make a big difference
@@_Digitalguy True, A12Z you get 6 GB RAM vs 4 GB on A12X
@@Epicgamer_Mac I have 6GB in my A12X because I have the 1TB model on the 11" but I also have the 12.9 A12X with only 512GB and the difference the RAM makes in terms of reloads is massive
@@_Digitalguy Wow, I wouldn’t have expected that!
Personally I have the 12.9” M2 iPad Pro 256 GB, which has 8 GB RAM, and I found it performs no worse in reloads than my father’s M1 1 TB version (16 GB RAM). Maybe iPadOS doesn’t support RAM usage higher than 8 GB??
@@Epicgamer_Mac I also have the M1 8GB and while it's better than 6GB we are at a point where you hardly see the difference. So if you have 4GB you'll definitely notice the reloads as they happen a lot, but on 8GB they are so rare that I don't see much point in the 16GB at least for now, maybe in 5 years it will be different... I am speaking of browsing, but if you use RAM hungry apps that's different. For instance advanced features in DaVinci resolves make the 4GB model crash, while the 6GB and 8GB work... but reload would increase for other things, but there are only very few apps that use a lot of RAM, most don't use much
I have the 2018 iPad Pro and it still works very well
any apple mac / macbook M1 series.
SE 2023.
ipad pro 2017. (first borderless)
and ofc my beloved: air pods pro second gen.
budget enough?
I have a slightly beefed up version of this eco system (pro instead of air, 12 pro instead of 11pro, series 6 instead of 5, and just recently upgraded from the 2018 11 pro to the m1 11 pro). My MacBook and IPad wont be replaced for a very very long time. In fact, the only reason why I even upgraded to the m1 iPad Air was because I got an insane deal annd ended up making a profit by buying my m1 and selling my 2018. My series 6 watch is incredible my only gripe is the slow charging which I can live with, only thing I’d consider replacing is my 12 pro only due to the battery life and sluggishness. Other than that, I dont see myself upgrading any other part of my ecosystem for the next 5 years. It’s crazy to think. That a few years ago upgrading every 3 years was almost a necessity due to the night and day difference.
I absolutely adore my ecosystem and couldn’t live without it
iPhone 15 Pro Max, 16” M1Pro MBP, 11” M1 iPad Pro, Watch 7, and TV 4K🙌🏼
2018 iPad Pro, iPhone 11 Pro and Apple Watch gen 4 were my setup for some time, and they're all very reliable.
I screwed the ecosystem up with the last gen Intel MacBook Pro 16" instead of going Apple Silicon, but hey, more reason to grab an M3 Pro soon.
0:50
Me still rocking my iPhone XR and 2017 MacBook Pro 💀
Jokes aside great work as usual
I was a full 100% PC laptop and Android phone guy. Then I decided to go full in on Apple by getting a MacBook Air M2, iPhone for my wife and I, plus a 10th Gen iPad for my wife, and I love it. Everything I got was brand new but I wanted new stuff. As far as watches go I use a Garmin watch.
I would usually skip on the watch with the budget ecosystem stuff, but the Series 5 is so cheap these days and still so good, it's kinda worth it :D
This is my exact setup (except my iPhone is a XS and my Apple Watch is a series 8)
yes I do like ipad though after using ipad pro 11 I think ipad mini is the best ipad ever made!!! Very light and bigger than pro max to become a tablet and still support 2nd pencil and the new release usb c pencil... Still using ipad pro but planning to get ipad mini instead... My ideal ecosystem: mba m2, iphone 13 mini, ipad mini 6, apple watch 7 and airpods 3
Watching this on an iPad Pro. In my opinion it’s the best in the lineup, especially as an artist. Got a M1 Pro MacBook Pro, but no iPhone lol
Old 5k retina iMac with macmini m2pro (luna display), iPad Pro with or without a keyboard because iMac has a keyboard, iPhone 14pro, Apple Watch 7/8 and AirPods Pro, cheap among the best. I don’t see any idea using MacBook Air and iPad in the same time but macmini or iMac with iPad has sense.
your on point again as always Luke, good video, I agree on all the devices, especially on the apple watch 5 with always on display. I agree to skip the iPad however my partner had a ipad mini laying around so i just use that. All these devices are the best value for the money, this is why I rock a mbp 2015 and iPad mini 5th gen they fit my needs however I do have the 15 pro and watch8 as like you mentioned I spend majority of the day on them.
Good idea. Great plan too
I wish I watched your video a month ago! You are making a lot of sense.
I bought an iPhone SE (2020) and Apple Watch 7 Cellular 45mm Aluminum.
Now I wish I would get an iPhone 11 Pro and Apple Watch 7 GPS 42mm Titanium.
I'm currently bidding on M1 MacBook and I really don't need iPad at the moment.
Nevefr had a usable iPad and don't see why I'd need one, when I have a 15" MacBook Air (1TB / 16GB).
Excellent video!! I totally agree with this list
Nice video, where did you get that iPad wallpaper from?
Still using an 11 Pro Max, and even at 79% battery life, the phone lasts most of the day. I want to replace it but it’s just not cost effective when it works perfectly fine and the only places I go are a few concerts a year. I do wish I had the non Max model though.
Ohhhhh I’m now curious what would be the best value ecosystem for a video creator working with 4K and 6k video files 🤓🤓
Great video! ❤
Fantastic but i love systems.I would change watch for Garmin and Upgrade Mackbook to 15 inches because of my sight
Sonoma has killed the zooming across displays...
Wow I love the silver pro iPhones design
This is good to know! Apple is still pushing updates to my IPad Pro 10.5 inch. The battery life isn't as good as it used to be, but it still works. I'll keep using it until i have to upgrade.
