Team iPad Pro 2018 here! This 3rd gen pro is still smooth & solid in 2022. Got my mom the ipad air 4 a few mos back and every time I use it, my OG pro still feels faster and better. If ur planning 2 buy a new air, check for older ipad pro models (2018 or 2020), it’s a better deal.

Yes center stage is definitely better for people that are blind. Just like me. It keeps your face in focus it’s pretty cool too!

Once you have 120hz, you ain’t going back

The 2018 Pro is killer, I’m still using the 12.9 2018 since it launched and I’m still very happy with the performance. I also loved my 2018 iPad more when I knew that the M1 Pro thunderbolt 4 port transfer speed is very slow compared to what you should expect from it.

I have the iPad Air 4 and even with A14 it feels amazingly fast and has pretty good screen quality and speakers. I have no complaints with it.

Also I would say take the iPad Air if you plan to code on it. The M1 makes a massive difference in the python scripts I’ve run so far compared to the A12X

Ipad pro 2018 A12X is still a beast in 2022.

The title of this video made me happy because I have a 2018 Pro

Watching on 2018 Pro. Going to use it for another 4 years minimum.

As a 2018 IPad Pro user i believe the IPad Air 5 is a beast got it yesterday started a side by side IN PERSON NOT IN VIDEO and it is an actual beast all my Stream games look cristal clear the 5G Speed is insane works flawless I’ll give it a 9/10 Thanks for the likes if you guys wanna know why I don’t give it a 10/10 is because how come a machine this price and this powerful doesn’t have face ID? And second thing would be the 60vs120 frames it is noticeable but it doesn’t hurt at all so if you planing on getting the air 5th just consider does it make a difference? As a pro user for more than 3 years ill say NO heck no I’ll definitely buy again that air 5th with my eyes close

Can we have a detailed battery drain comparison between these 3. Does M1 chip improves battery life or made it worse????

Saying the M1 iPad Air is not worth buying is ignoring completely the potential for upgrades and the possibility of that optimization you said is lacking right now. But what about un 6 months. And, to be completely honest, who uses iMovie to edit a big project? You should have made the comparison on Lumia Fusion, really. Yikes, harsh one, here.

Thanks for this Video! I wasnt shure which iPad to buy, I was struggeling with the Refurbished 11' model from 2018 and the new ipad air 5. I´ve been watching reviews for days, but I`m gonna go with the pro model now!

i was like why is andrew garfield doing tech review !!! great review 👍

My iPad Air 2 has lasted me 8 years and still going, so I’m sure the iPad Pro a12z will do as fine like my air 2 has and that only had 2 gigs where the 2020 iPad Pro has 6 gigs.

The fact is simply that iOs Apps use only marginally the Cpu and Gpu. My M1 12.9” iPad Pro is like driving a Ferrari on a 30 Mph lane.

The M1 is definitely better but you cannot take advantage of the full power of even the A12X in iPadOS anyways… the best value now is still the A12Z iPad Pro refurbished an amazing deal if you can find one in stock. More ram, 6GB than the 2018 and performance is still amazing. The price with the 128gb or 256gb is a much better deal than the M1 Air

my air 5 creaks quite noticeably, and I’m really not happy with the front camera quality. Not that I use the front camera to take photos, but still it’s shockingly bad. I have air 4 and thought this would be a nice upgrade but I’m returning it.

All this Hate on the 2021 M1 Ipad Air...this Video to make Pro Owners feel better cos now the iPad Air is as powerful as the pros..LOL

I actually ordered a a12z ipad pro referbished from apple last week. I'm loving this thing

Strangely, Center Stage has been on Apple devices for a year. Why did it take the release of the Apple 27” Display for people to start complaining about it?

i keep my 2018 Pro, and instead buying air5, I try to grow some love again by buying logitech combo touch. but your video comes out and it makes me ‘happier’

So I heard people were complaining about the built quality of Ipad air 5 being worse than ipad air 4. For example, on ipad air 5 they can feel the internal components by pressing the back plate and it also makes a creaking noise. Can anyone who owns an ipad air 5 confirm this?

I think the 2018 iPad Pro was brilliant, who needs more speed than that really offers Dan! 👍🏻🙂💕xx

Got the 2018 ipad pro recently, can't wait to use my ever first ipad

on the video this is an iPad 2021 pro (look at the camera lens) and not the 2018 pro.

as someone with a 2018 ipad pro thinking about buying the air 5, this video saved me

If you are near a Microcenter, you can get a iPad Pro 11 M1 for $40 cheaper than the 256GB Air 5.

I think you can actually turn off center stage in settings

Wanted to purchase Air 5, just ordered iPad pro 2021 with M1 chip

I have a 2018 iPad Pro and may hold off on upgrading until they release the OLED iPad Pros in 2 to 3 years.

Ok maybe the front camera is bad but i think senter stage is a very nice featuer and nobody use the front facing camera for other things so it is an upgrade i think

Still getting the Air 5 even though I have a 120 Hz phone

This video got me a step closer to buying the iPad mini 6 instead of the iPad Air 5 :) thanks 👍

Sincere thanks for this video. I was going to purchase an iPad Air to replace one of my other iPad but I will now be buying the iPad pro

It’s weird to see the European chargers to what we have here in the USA. Totally different.

my old iPad Air 1 is still kicking, it's my PronPad while the main is the iPad Pro 2020

While I do love the 2018 Pro more (speakers) Notice how the Air 5 is also on 54% and the Pro is on 83% battery? That big of a difference can really affect the marginal difference here, I feel like making a judgement based off one application sample is weird. And while the iPads are “plugged in” they are not at all charging, the symbol in iPadOS for a charging iPad should be green, and should have the lightning symbol. Other than that, good video

Love your videos

Sp won't u be doing a camera test?

2:38 bruh the 5 is cropping the image what do u expect?

Nice job Daniel.

I’ve got iPad Pro 11 inch M1 it’s really good

So glad I got the 9th gen iPad instead.

Just say you hate the Air 5 probably because u cant afford it ETCH 👊🏻

I just got the Air 4 on 7/3 before apple launched air 5. should I return it and get air 5? I'll be using it mostly for note taking and sometimes for art.

Brilliant video title

I would say as long you have anything better than a A11 Bionic chip your iPad is pretty much okay

Watching on 2020 A12Z like a proud dad 🤓

Which would would you recommend now that iPad os16 brings stage manager to the iPad Air?

Can use I pad pro keyboard for i pad air 5

I've been using the iPad Air 2 since like 7 years now... Wanna finally upgrade - pro or new air? So confused. I mosly browse, read, watch shows & movies online, check social media & emails, and video calls. Suggestions?

I miss silver colour

is the pink still like rosegold or is it a soft pink now?

Someone tell me where to buy te 2018 iPad Pro

what about for doing music? which one do you recommend?

Team iPad Pro 2020 here!

Is apple refurbished ipad pro 2020 good? Im thinking of buying it since its 620 for 128gb while ipad air 5 cost 600 for 64gb but the problem is i dont know if refurb is good

Wow iPad air

Not sure if the db test was accurate due to the mic being on one side of the Apple watch.

Do you think I should by the refurbished 2018 iPad pro or the iPad Air?

Agree with your analysis.

I have the iPad Pro 3rd gen and… it’s great and way better than my ipad 7

Do you think we should get Air14 if there is a 100$ price difference between Air14 and Air15 ? Not an artist or a gamer. Need for reading , notes and some content watching ? I know ipad 9th gen will fulfill my requirement but the design looks like a decade old + non laminated display. 60Hz is a major turn off for getting air 5.

That blue colour makes me want to throw my 2018 pro in the bin 😂.

Feeling better about my 2018 11” iPad Pro now, thanks!! Got a little bummed seeing 3 devices supporting pencil 2 and similar form factor. But you’re right, still have some edge with the display and speakers. But also faceID and other advantages of TrueDepth like Memoji, Animoji, etc. for now… 😂

I am concerned about how futureproof ipad air 5 is. Will this last long since they changed it to M1? By last long I mean before you notice a lag.

I have the 2018 iPad Pro 11 inch. Was looking to get the iPad Air m1. Apples only willing to give me $300 for it so I’d pay $200 out of pocket for the iPad Air. Wondering if I should do it especially since I’d have five years guaranteed of major OS Updates and the 2018 pro is down to one more after the new iOS 16

Performance isn't even close

Agree I got iPad 4 it no reason to upgrade to the 5

Great comparison! I would have emphasized more that the pro was only like 7 seconds faster. At the end I thought you’d forget to say the M1 iPad air will last longer but you didn’t forget! Great job!

Hi Daniel, I used to be a huge fan of you till i watched this video!!!! Well first of all lets look at the video title" Slower than a 2018 Pro?" well if we did not know the 2020 iPad pro had and a12z chip inside it and the iPad air 4 with a14 and crushed the iPad pro 2020 with it's performance, and what's the video title, SO YOU SCAMMED US. Don't think this is all there's MUCH MORE. Next when you did the front camera test you are claiming that the iPad air 5 front cam is much worse than the iPad air 4, but how is this possible during the event it was told told to us that the front cam megapixel is upgraded from 7mp to 12mp, SO DON'T THINK IM DUMB CAUSE YOU JUST SWITCHED THE IPAD NAMES MEANING THE IPAD AIR 4 IS THE AIR 5 AND THE IPAD AIR 5 IS THE AIR 4, SO YOU SCAMMED US AGAIN. Next when you did the iMovie exporting test, not to mention but the iPad which was named "iPad pro a12z" had actually got thicker bezels and the iPad which was named "iPad air 5" had thinner bezels, but the 2020 iPad pro has thinner bezels right, WHICH MEANS YOU SCAMMED US AGAIN. Last but not the least, during the sound test you mentioned that the 2021 iPad pro was much louder , but in reality its peak was just 2 decibels louder that means YOU SCAMMED US AGAIN. Look i am sick of this, if you don't like the iPad air 5 i don't mind but you made a vid scamming people to show people how bad it is is A MOTHER F**CKING ACT. I'LL NEVER SUB BACK TO YOU AND ALSO WILL REPORT THIS VID OF YOURS. Good luck with your youtube journey going forward

God bless you

I would still get the iPad air over the 2018 iPad pro which is now 4 years old

I’m all set with pro M1

I think the camera on the mini 6 FaceTime camera sucks so bad I hate it looks horrible with lots of noise

So guys answer me What the best purchase iPad Air 5 or iPad Air 4?

The chip of 2018 pro isn't A12X?

Yeah i noticed that was surprised x

So according to you the m1 chip ain't really make a great speed difference with the 2018 ipad pro?

Is that purple?? It looks blue to me

If that’s purple I’m the pope 🤣🤣

Center stage is good for Visually Impaired people because it’s very difficult to point the camera even if we could just move the tablet this is the best feature Apple has made

Any update on ipad10 2022 Dan?

Idk but is the ipad pro 2020 is what I'm looking to buy but the M1 chip in the air just is the reason I feel like buying it instead, but the 120hz, quad speakers just really what I like so i might buy the pro

Looking at this iPad Air I’m thinking of a purple iPhone 14 pro max 🧐

Damn that purple 😍

Misleading title, hunger for money?

front facing cam: not as bad as my 1.2MP ipad mini 4's

Well the ipad air 5 box is smaller than the last gen box

Hi

Totally agree there is nobody who should buy yeah iPad Air as 64 gigs will not be enough in a year and you will be sorry bought it and I’ll give radio says once you upgrade your mother spend just 50 bucks more and get the pro model for all the plus that it has

tests speed by seeing how fast the screen comes on.... OK buddy.... you do realize there is benchmarks out there right? next time maybe test a book or so

commenting from my 2018 11” iPad pro, there’s no going back to 60hz im afraid

😍I only prefer the speaker and 120hz. That's pretty obvious that I'll go with the pro.

Hey man, can you please talk about the awful build quality of the new 5’s (put pressure on the back and the display literally ripples and actually shows where your finger tips are at the back). So many KZfaqrs are just dismissing this but so many people are experiencing this issue…

whos watching on a iPad pro 2018?!

Only I love stevejobs I love apple 🍎 but u really good awesome men 💕👍🔥

Pro features will be limited by only one usable storage option.
