I am still on the fence about which iPad to get because I really want to wait for the next iPad mini. At the same time, when I went to the Apple Store, I kind of fell in love with the new 11-inch iPad Air model. For the longest time, I was wondering why they couldn't put the Final Cut app on the iPad mini. However, after having hands-on experience with the iPad Air, I realized that the mini would be too small to even interact with Final Cut on it to begin with. So, I think I'm going to end up getting the 11-inch iPad Air. It's still small enough where it's not as gigantic as the 13-inch model and it's not nearly as expensive as the iPad Pros. This video really helped. Thank you.

I have the Mini 5 so have considered the 6 since it uses Pencil 2 and I like the Mini for taking notes. However it really is too small to effectively use split screen--I haven't decided about upgrading since I use an M1 Pro.

Completely agree about the iPad Mini. There is something about the size and form about it that makes it such a pleasant device to use. I still own the original iPad mini and it still works! Of course it is stuck on iOS 9 I believe, but I LOVE being able to run some older games on it such as Flappy Bird and Zuma’s Revenge.

Thinking about the iPad Air. I have 2018 11" iPad Pro which is giving up the ghost (won't charge, out of warranty, $500 repair) - it seems like a good time to upgrade. It served me well, the only downfall was that as I began using music reading apps the notation was smaller than optimal for my aging eyes. I like that the Air has a larger size - ideal for my use - but by the time I buy one, a case, the new pencil we're close to $1,000. Would I be better off buying a refurbished 5th or 6th generation Pro?

My dilemma is now is choosing if I have a need to upgrade from my iPad Air 4th Gen to new iPad Air 13inch. I really like my 3 year old iPad Air and the only reason I will benefit is a bigger screen, in past I downsized from iPad Pro 12,9 first gen to my now iPad Air 4th gen and the reason was because my old iPad Pro 12,9 did bent little in the middle I’m so confused what should I do now 🤔

Another issue with top placement of FaceTime camera: I just got a refurbished M1 12.9 iPad Pro (2 weeks before they announced the recent iPad event….sigh) and I am left handed. Every time I try to unlock my new iPad I am covering the camera with my dominant hand, which I used to pick up the iPad. It minor, but also annoying. The new placement of the camera would help me out a tonne.

Hello,in your opinion, which one is better ipad air 13 or ipad pro m1 12.9? I am not creator or anything I'm just a student so i will be using it for note taking,studying,media consumption and some gaming what will be better 120hz but with m1,bluetooth 5 (idon't care a lot about the other difference)or m2 and blu5.3 but 60hz? I have glaxy s21ultra, so will i miss the high refresh rate on the air in studying and gaming or the m2 Make it more snappy and not that crucial?
@user-x.s 25 күн бұрын
Well i suggest that you should buy the iPad Air 13 inch Because it comes with a better chip That guarantees a bit more software support Plus a landscape front camera is way more ergonomic Otherwise the iPad Pro comes with a better display and better back cameras if you care about that And I’ve used a 120hz display and In my opinion it doesn’t make a difference even tho I’m kinda of a tech savvy person Finally making a decision to buy either one of these iPads is fully up to you and both of them are great iPads

I also have the iPhone 13 and it's 60 hz and it's still so smooth. But if you're using it for note taking you're gonna get a smoother note taking experience on the IPad pro. Also , If you care about the apple pencil pro features you might wanna got for the air 13

Bought the iPad Air over the Pro to be able to use my Magic Keyboard. I did not need a new iPad given what I do with it but wanted an M series device to be able to take advantage of the coming AI features. I always go for at least 256 Gb storage. I do not know why but I do. It is a step up over my old iPads, very quick etc. I also went for the new Pencil Pro, another improved device. With iPads, I go for the 11” (I do have a Mini, although I could easily give it up), which is the most versatile in my opinion. Simply a great tablet for work and home. I use it 80% of the time. Just a great device.

if this is the iPad Air is the Ultimate iPad , should you just not go and buy a M2 pro iPad from the Apple refurbished store, because you rthen get a much better screen, and you still get a full apple warranty, and it will probably be cheaper. I do agree that the iPad Mini 6 is my favorite iPad of all time.

I decided to order the 11 inch air for now.

@claudiustanciu05 23 күн бұрын
Mate, let me tell you a thing. The pro-motion is nothing you can’t live without. I’m saying this due to my gf having an 13pro max, and me coming from android (the past 3 phones had 90 hz and 2 with 120hz) I wanted to switch to Iphone due to easy of use. She kept telling me to get the pro version so that i have that pro-motion display, so I listened and ended up buying a NON-pro, an normal iphone 15 :). Do i see a difference between mine and hers in terms of smoothness? Yes. Does it affect my normal usage (i don’t game) Hell no. Does it bother me in any shape or form that i gave up higher refresh rate screens to go back to 60Hz? Not in the slightest.

I think it's at the point where it's very obvious the reason Apple isn't putting 90/120hz panels in the Air iPads/Regular iPhones is to have a differentiating feature that pushes users to the Pro models. 600-1300 tablets/Phones in 2024 should have a higher refresh rate than 60hz - in face, most do. I can't think of a single phone over 300$ that doesn't have a high refresh rate display outside of Apple's - even the Samsung A9 tablet has 90hz panel(a 200$ tablet). People can say that "the normal person doesn't notice it," but it should definitely still be a feature in a tablet that costs this much. The major reason it should have that people will notice it for is using the Apple pencil. As a note taking device, 90/120hz panels make a big difference in the latency and natural feel of writing with a stylus. The other thing that is important is how fast a device "feels." The iPad Air could have an M4 Ultra chip in it, but it will only ever feel as fast as the display and animations allow it to feel. I would argue an M1 chip with 90hz panel would feel a faster device than an M2 chip with a 60hz panel. Anyway, it is what it is. I feel Apple is producing some quality products right now, but I hate how they are intentionally making some devices like this and the iPhone 15/15plus less capable simply to push users to spend more for the higher end Pro models.

Good points. A second hand 10.5 inch IPad Pro with a new battery is also a bargain as long as it is supported. I recently got an iPhone 15 Pro Max for the bigger screen and superb video and telephoto lens etc. That is an outstanding portable work tool too, just turn to landscape and use my ultra light water resistant Logitech keyboard (the one that’s about £50). With audio in for MS Word it’s also very accurate for dictating into - for me about 95% accurate.

I bought an iPad Pro gen 6 12.9” M2 1TB 16MB ram and also bought iPad Air 13” M2 1TB 8MB ram Honest question (I store a lot of data and pictures on my devices) is the iPad Pro gen 6 really better than the iPad Air 13”? Same screen size, same M2, same 1TB storage. Is the 16MB of Ram really worth $750 more than the new iPad Air 13”? Seriously I don’t know about tech. I need it to serve as a laptop and remote desk. I have 14 days to return one or the other and I need an honest opinion from a tech guy. I rarely game, I do edit pictures a lot, very little video editing but some.

For me, the iPad Pro is a halo product for Apple to show off their latest tech, but the iPad Air is a more practical tablet that can serve 99% of the users out there. I'm trying to decide between 11" and 13' iPad Air.,
@1001nevermore 25 күн бұрын
I really wanted the M4 iPad Pro for about half a day, but I quickly realized the M2 Air (11-inch) was what would benefit me most; I already have the original Magic Keyboard, and though my M1 iPad Pro still has more power than I could ever use in an iPad, the Apple Pencil Pro brings some interesting enhancements that I’m eager to use. In fact, I’ve had the Pencil Pro for just a couple of days and the new functions are already becoming muscle memory. I’m interested in the 13-inch iPad Air and I love that this larger form factor is finally in a less expensive model other than the Pro, but the 11-inch has always been the sweet spot for portability and functionality for me. But I’m still holding out hope that they give us a mini 7 soon (and that it comes with some kind of keyboard support).

The second hand 13 inch M2 iPad Pro is now cheaper than m3 iPad Air. And both still have apple care plus. Can’t think of any reason to go with air when second hand m2 iPad Pro is that affordable.

For the same price, the UK Apple refurb site had the M1 13” Pro, so a strap back on processor speed, and it’s out of stock.

Jerry checks quality and durability of devices so you know what you get. IPad Air is far from being perfect. 60hz is a big deal in the iPad since iPad is Mostly a screen and any iPad is already overpowered for what they can do
@LordLan 24 күн бұрын
Don't get me wrong i love ipad. But i think that Apple should have 120hz and oled on all models. There are android tablets that have 120 hz and oled that cost the same or less than the base ipad. And why call it pro motion ? Or retina display ? It's not really a feature many consumers that don't know tech are fooled. Apple they are rebranding existing technology as pro motion or retina display. I don't need much power so the base ipad is good enough for me. Just watching content and browsing the web and some casual gaming.

Ipad air 13 m2 is excellent for those who wants 13 inch Ipad for cheap. But situation with incompatible Apple Pencil 2 is a kick in the balls. But you can go around by buying pencil usb-c, if everything you do is just writing and annotation.

For those reading comments , don’t buy this iPad Air 13 to use with keyboard instead get a MacBook Air with a little extra money. If you’re really into iPad get the greatest screen with the pro ones or get iPad Air 11 or the regular ipad. This iPad Air 13 doesn’t make any sense . It’s not a laptop replacement and not a portable iPad. Sucks

I’ve never understood the need to stick a keyboard on an ipad. Better to have a laptop and avoid paying through the nose for add ons. Also the screen keyboard, what’s wrong with it exactly? I’ve done tonnes of on screen writing with it. Portability is definitely a thing, so while I am tempted by a 13” air, for me it would be a home device with wifi only, something for kids to do homework on and watch stuff on a slightly bigger screen. The 11” air is big enough for professional situations and small enough to carry around.

The argument you make for keeping the M2 iPad Pro should be the same for keeping the M1 iPad Pro. Almost seems like you don’t know that the M1 & M2 share all the same accessories as well as the 12.9 inch both having Mini-LEDs in M1 AND M2 variants. Am I wrong?
