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 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 KZfaq 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…

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 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.

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 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.

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.

@StrangelyIronic2 жыл бұрын
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.
@Driftuner2 жыл бұрын
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

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.

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.

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.......

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.

Well I have to say that for me getting an iPad with Apple Pencil was a big gamechanger at university. I left my laptop at home if I had no programming courses that day and the iPad was enough to take notes, scroll through the presentations and read and learn stuff. Since I switched from my windows notebook to the mba m1 I am using my iPad less than before but that's because I am on my masters and my courses changed a lot. I would totally recommend the base iPad. You get a great value for that price and I am using my Gen 6 one since over 3 years now.

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.

Great review, especially the ‘diminishing returns’/‘consumer/creator’ illustration. I’m looking to update my 2018 12.9” iPad Pro and this made me realise that, for my needs/use, I probably still need an iPad Air at the least or an iPad Pro 11”. I do use the iPad as a ‘laptop replacement’ for business trips of up to 2 weeks (as I need EXCEL and WORD mainly). It certainly doesn’t ‘cut it’ as a full-time desktop/laptop replacement, but will do for short periods of time. The Mini won’t work for me as I already have a Kindle and prefer a larger screen for web surfing, watching movies and emailing, etc. The video also confirmed my decision to downsize to a MacBook 14” when I finally can afford to…. Great job!

If push comes to shove I’ll just buy a pro after the M2 comes out.

Good stuff, thanks. The form factor of the Mini is just perfect for me for reading/watching stuff when I'm not at a desk. Like you, the iPad will never replace my actual computer for anything creative so it's almost a consumption device by default, but despite that I do actually find it relatively easy to bash out a quick note or email with the on-screen keyboard on the Mini without putting it down, unlike the larger iPads.

(money really wasn’t the issue but usage was [as Ali explained beautifully about the usage spectrum..:)]) Also for the same iPad Pro base price - after comparison - got (ordered) Apple Pencil 2 also along with iPad Air. 256gb and 10-11” iPads is a sweet spot for us as a family - Have iCloud for all backups especially photos. Also we never really need or used the Pro features of iPad Pro - The FaceId or the better back cameras or 120hz pro motion among other differences with new iPad Air (I’m sure they are good to have). Our iPad Air is mainly going to be used by my kids to play games, watch videos, attend online classes/video calls, do some note taking if at all and so on. We (parents) occasionally use iPad for shopping (even though in-app purchases will be disabled for safety as kids mainly use) or browsing or making video calls/watch some videos/movies and such. (With lot many restrictions in place..:)) The new iPad Air with M1 chip is way capable for all those and future-proof for at least next 5 years :) In-fact still using our last iPad Pro 10.5” same 256gb which is almost 5 years now and working absolutely fine except - very recently both the front and back cameras stopped working cause of kids heavy usage, fighting over the iPad, dropping iPad too many times. (So from our past experience, basically not looking Pro features of iPad with great cameras as we don’t use iPads as main photo taking device too [use iPhone 12 Pro’s and 13 Pro’s for taking photos/videos and have MacBook and other pc laptops as-well])

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?

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!

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 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 KZfaq 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 🙏🏻
