Seems like most reviews and critics don’t understand that the big screen 13” iPad Air is $800 and the Pro model is $1,300 but when you test them side by side at an Apple Store you don’t notice a $500 difference. I lined them up and played KZfaq, a game, and browsed websites and all I noticed was that the Pro had better blacks, got brighter, and had louder speakers…not worth $500 for most users. I own the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Galaxy Tab S8+ which both have 120Hz OLED screens and use my tablets for online school, gaming, streaming movies, listening to music, listening to podcasts, and reading…the 60Hz screen on the Air is just as good on a day to day basis and the screen never feels half as fast like the numbers on paper suggest. I traded in my 2018 iPad Pro and got a $330 trade in credit so my 13” Air was under $600. If you are an artist, video editor, or musician…pay extra and go with the Pro cuz for them it’s worth it

11-inch team!!

After using a 12.9” 2018 iPad Pro throughout grad school, I picked up an 11” M2 Air and prefer the smaller size much more. It’s easier to use as an iPad and still functions just fine as a laptop replacement with the Magic Keyboard. I like that it’s smaller than even the MacBook Air and can still offer a decent typing experience.

I used the iPad pro 11 M1 and now ‚upgraded‘ to iPad Air 13 M2, because I use it as a teacher and needed the bigger screen for all my planning and notes on my students. I use split view and for this, the 11 inch is just not large enough. I tested both new 13 inch iPads and didn‘t notice too much difference between the Air and pro to really pay that much more. And i have to say, my face ID on my iPad pro annoyed me often enough, because i always had my thumb over the camera. Would be different now but I am absolutely happy with Touch ID and my new 13 inch iPad Air:)

Do you always use your ipad without a case? Would love to see a video of yours about both this and a screen protector.

Team 13” watching this on mine 🥰 this is my first larger sized iPad and wow! I absolutely love the larger screen size since I mostly use it for watching shows and KZfaq. The news app is also amazing on the larger display magazines are basically full sized now.

Team 11inch, my first iPad. Going to use for reading, journaling and streaming

Just bought the 13’’ version but it is not comfortable to use with one hand. Although I like to read magazines with it and use it as the second screen for MacBook, I am thinking about exchanging with 11’’ version. We will see in a week, how it will end.

Great video! Thoughtful review and recommendation.

One of my favorite youtubers ❤

I had an 11" pro but changed to the 12.9" M2 last year, I love it soo much -- more close of the size of an actual sheet of full size paper, way better usability-- and don't think I'll be upgrading given the new $ of the M4/cost/benefit compared to the last model

I ordered the 13” yesterday. I don’t have it yet. It’s replacing my 7 year old Generation 2 iPad Pro 12.9”. I’m not a gamer I mostly just do internet, Facebook and email with it while planted in my recliner. I only bought the Pro for the larger screen and so I believe the Air 13” will fill all my requirements. Hey and Apple is giving me $160 for my old Pro.

How long does the battery on the iPad Air 6 11" version last?

you convinced me Mr. Nik - I'm upgrading to an iPad Air 11" this year from a Mini 😊👍 (my mini will be happy with my baby niece 😊)

Do you always use your ipad without a case?

I’ve been using ipad pro 10.5 for about 6 years. I don’t have a laptop so it’s my main device and I’m using it for about 5 hours a day. Right now I’m considering between ipad pro 11 m4 and ipad air 13. The tandem oled screen looks so amazing but i mainly use ipad for youtube, web browing and read some comics so I think ipad air 13 isn’t a bad choice at all. Ipad pro 10.5 is 120Hz so if I use ipad air 13 with 60Hz, will it be noticeable? Which one do you think I should upgrade?

hows the build quality? im worried if it will bend easily

13” but im kinda getting over how big it is. I think I’d rather save the 250.00 and get the 11” since I was coming from a iPad 6

Watching this on my new M2 Air, love it so far. Getting use to Touch ID again sadly.

Amazing video hope you’re having a great evening

The iPad Air 13" is my new favorite device! I went from the 2020 12.9" iPad Pro 1 TB to the 13" iPad Air 1 TB in purple. I love it!!!

Which better between 128gb & 256gb for students daily use?

I just bought the 11 inch with the Apple Pencil pro and the Magic Keyboard and I LOVE IT !!!

What is the best keyboard for the 13 inch?

What racing game was that

What I do want is more thickness make it more sturdy

Luck 13 for me! I have it paired with the Magic Keyboard

I got the iPad Air M2 & it gets really hot off & on in general use. Is this normal?

Does this thing have 4 or 2 speakers im confused cuz there are 4 speaker grills and sounds coming out only from 2

I think you get everything in iPad Air....potentially it has all that you use to find in pro...so just one month before it was pro. M2...and 13 inch is like you are carrying a small TV..So finally I would say and have just bought iPad 11.

Im all about big screens so 13” it is!

Can someone tell me which has loudest sound, I just what loud? More details about speaker quality please

Team 11“ here😌 Cool Review

I still have the iPad Air 4th gen and as far as I can tell the only real difference between that and the new one is a faster chip so I think I'll pass for now. I am looking forward to a new iPad mini though that should come out later in the year (fingers crossed).

I’m still torn between the 11” and 13” and honestly don’t know which one to get. I’m upgrading from an 8th generation iPad which is the same footprint size as the 11” but the 11” looks comically cramped when you see it alongside the 13”. Makes more sense to get the 11” from a financial standpoint as I can get the 256GB model for NZD$200 less than the 128GB model of the 13” but the 13” screen is just hard to ignore. Watching as many reviews as possible to try and make me come to a decision. The way I use my iPad is videos, social media, web browsing and a little bit of photo editing, 13” would be a good second screen but then again I could just plug my MacBook into an external monitor.

Very excited I'm getting my iPad Air M2 11", 256G on Wednesday. My 1st Apple product.. Chearer now at Amazon thsn Best Buy.

Team 13” here. Want to trade my 10th Gen iPad 64GB to the 256GB iPad Air 13inch as a birthday present to myself.

I have 12.9 inch iPad but I am going to 11 inch models with my next iPad in the future

Not having 120 hz is a deal breaker once you get used to the Pro Motion Display.

90 Herts display is needed for the Air Models and iPad mini 60 Herts should be reserved for the base iPad

There's no case you can make for a 60hz display over a 120hz display nor can you convince me that an LCD display with larger bezels is better than an OLED display with smaller ones. The iPad Air weighs more than the iPad Pro too. I'm gonna guess it's "better because it costs less."

Went with an iPad Air 11” for the first time since the iPad Pros came out. I messed up with getting the M2 pro 12.9”, I downsized to the perfect 11” size. Never again will I own a 13” lol they are uncomfortable as heck to use as a tablet and a bunch of people who can afford to get the bigger size now are going to find out lol

I‘ve had them all: iPad mini 6, iPad Pro M1 11“ and 12,9“, M2 11“ and 12,9“ and now have an iPad Air 13“. I got it for 880€ (around $900, low Price in EU) and it‘s more than enough for me because all I‘m doing is watching KZfaq, Prime Video and play some Clash of Clans. It‘s really good value for the money.

como va a ser mejor hermano si el pro tiene todas las especificaciones mejoradas. no entiendo.

Gone from an Air 3 to a new Air 13" - loving the screen size but the thing is twice as heavy as my old one!

So compared to iPad Pro 4th gen - worth an upgrade to either?

I’m going to use mine for Art, and school. It’s a cheap way to get the M2, and have good performance with drawing with the new pro pencil.

I think it’s more visible on a smartphone to have a 120 hz display than on a tablet. You use tablets a little bit different in real life. And also the displays, iOS and the apple performance is so smooth that you do not realise the difference so much

My opinion, as a full time designer I do not recommend the Air for the limitations like Type C Thunderbolt, ProMotion technology, XDR brightness. to be practical, just get an m2 ipad pro, it's much cheaper now and much better than the new Air.

I got the 13 inch air and like the fingerprint scanner because of the rest your finger unlock feature. With Face ID you have to face the tablet and then swipe up. Face ID requires two motions.

The 13” Air is Pro Lite, works for me! I went into an Apple Store, looked at Pro and Air…I’m Team 13” Air!

So cool video and I really love it so much I really do

As always, nice video. But something is off with your microphone

I just ordered a 13” Air.

Hi. Do you work for apple ?

I have an iPad Air 1 on iOS 10.3.3. Also that’s the only iPad Air model I have

13 inch team. I doubt they will put promotion on the air like they do not put it on the base entry iPhone. Hopefully they will put Face ID on future models

i don't have ipad.. they are to expensive, altought i loved watching people drawing on ipad with procreated apps..

First normal comment :) great vid

A 30 second search on Marketplace revealed 4 different 2021 iPad Pro’s in my area. All under $400 and in good condition. That’s a bitchin’ machine for 1/2 the cost of an inferior iPad Air. I don’t know how you can make the case for the new Air without being disingenuous to your viewers.

I have the iPad Air in a 13 inch but it’s just that it’s space gray

You didn’t say why it’s better than iPad Pro!! Because it’s cheaper? If price is not an issue which one you choose?

👁️ Air’s screen is better than the Pro’s. Pulse-width modulation can be troublesome in some people: eyes strain leading to headaches, nausea and so on.

I think I should stop watching these review videos😂 I'm so tempted to trade in my 10th Gen with 256gb. If it was my only device I would have already, but cant justify it since I have a Tab S9 too😅 I'm afraid to give up my iPads storage, but would like a laminated screen, a new Apple Pencil (have had mine since the 2018 Pro). Great review as always

I’m IPad 13” team Yo !

Good look at the new stuff. So the IPAD 13 has face id? I just found out the new airs don't support AP pro

I think all ipads above the basic one should have face id. It would be a game changer

as far as I'm concerned, the main feature lacking is FaceID; that fingerprint system is so inconvenient. It had to go several years ago on the iPhone. It's no longer relevant on the iPad Air in 2024.

Tremendo cameo 😋

I have the 13" Air!

What if I told you the 10th gen was better than the iPad air?

When you said that 80% to 90% will no notice a difference between 60 hz and 120 hz..... man could you just said that it is ridiculous that Apple offers such an expensive device with 60 hz? Even my grandparents said that it is faster when they try the 120 hz.

I simply switched to android for a faster display of 120hz but it destroys the battery so I have it programmed for 60hz. I think this is the reason it comes out the factory at 60hz. Would be nice to see it with an option to turn on and off for people wanting to sacrifice battery life.

I heard the air had two speakers but four holes and they put out through this. It comes out the other. Sounds like you have four, but you really only have two speakers that’s what I heard about the air.

I’ve bought the 11”, I have small woman hands so the 13” would be too big for me

13 inch

I’m stuck in 2018, Gen6 team

Pros the only one came with four speakers the air came with two speakers with four holes and it vibrates out so

Nikiaaas 😃

I have an iPad 5th gen 12.9 512 GB that works great no problem paid off why would i get this new iPad im like what’s the difference? This is a money gimmick apple paying these creators to sell their products

11 inch team

11 inch for me.

Cool❤

Sadly it is too expensive and the cheapest option has ridiculously small storage space. It is like Apple would live in the past like 10 years back. They started to kill their market with this second wind of greediness.

Team 11. And a purist. Tablet mode all the time no keyboard ever.

I’m on my new iPad Air m2 and it’s fucking amazing

I’m loving my 13 inch iPad Air M2. The Pro models are so overpriced.

Team 11 inch , my m1 air is awesome . Buy used , and don’t pay the Apple tax

Guy forgot to say the percentage and the multiplier in the numeric bits of the video so I am 25 (x) performance and 95 (% of the) experience you get on an ipad pro... People need to double check what they post otherwise it makes no sense.

11-inch team!

Yars

Team 11”.

So why exactly is the air M2 better than the M4 PRO ? 😂 yes many won’t see the difference because they won’t use all of there power. For most people even the iPad 10 is great or the mini 6 gen. Again , why is it better ?

11" for the iPad.

11-inch ipad stan

LCD is terrible! I was waiting for OLED for years. If you can afford it, iPad Pro has the best possible screen right now. Yes, you have to pay for it. If you can't afford it, no discussion, but for a few hundred dollars more, the extraordinary screen alone is worth it (how many years you keep an iPad?).

the normal ipad user does not need an ipad pro, so technically, yeah the air is better, but it really isn’t

Team mini

I love Steve jobs I love apple 🍎
