I know it gets the views, but I’ve been following for years now and like this type of content so much more than the endless Apple device reviews and how to use Apple products lately. Just feels more authentic and you and maybe there’s something in that. Still love your stuff regardless ❤

Keeping my iPad Air 5. It’s literally the Air 5 with the M2 chip, better Bluetooth, slightly better WiFi chip. I ran the specs.

Hey there! I have a question, for uni. and watching movie-shows yt etc. Which one should i buy; ipad air m2 11" or ipad pro m2 11" (all of them with pencil tho) ? In my country the ipad pro m2 11" is 5k more than new ipad air so which one is better for long term? New ipad is 2 years younger and it will be get more updated that's the two reason im stuck with it: m2 pro price and update stuff... 🤷🏻‍♀️ and also is it big enough 11"? I want to buy the 13" but the price diff is literally 10k its so much tho. I would like to state that the iPad I bought can be updated for at least 6-7 years and that I want to use it for a very long time without lag or other problems.

I have an iPad Air M1 with 256Gb and I am considering the 11" Air M2 with 512Gb or 1Tb storage. Too bad the M1 Air did not have this at the time, I thought the M2 pro with 512 / 1Tb was too expensive.

I think the brightness goes up to 1600 out doors for the new pro? But this was a great video. Calm and to the point. The new air is good IMO but is missing a few ticks such as higher refresh rate which is becoming the standard everywhere, non-Apple world.

What game is this? 2:10

This people di3 they like phone papa ahh-bah.

apple has provided no good reason to buy this iPad over a 2022 iPad Pro the value of which has absolutely cratered now that everyone is upgrading to the 2024 Pro so it makes absolutely zero sense to pay $900 for an M2 Air 512GB when you can pay less than that for an M2 Pro 512GB

SIXTY HURTS

I currently have iPad Air 5th Gen - waiting to see what iPad OS 18 brings to see if I need to upgrade. At this point, it would be certainly nice… but do I NEED to? Doubtful.

I have the 9th gen and am looking into upgrading so hubby is gonna take it…this video is seriously having me think a 10th gen with usbc and my first gen Apple Pencil sounds like a win, win. Thank you for doing this one!

Picked up the 11" iPad Air M2 day one coming from an iPad mini and I've been loving it for my note taking and basic design sketching and it's basically become my daily computer, saving my Mac for things like Xcode, Logic, and Figma (though I will still break it out every so often for general stuff too)

May I ask if this new iPad Air supports the Logitech Crayon?

I don’t find the reason to get this one instead of a refurbished M2 Pro 12.9. The screen is so much better, the speakers are better, the chip is the same. Why get the 13” Air?

This with a 90hz display would be a killer, but then you'd have to call it Pro hahaha

Really well done video! I thoroughly enjoyed it :) I’m surprised that you didn’t contrast Touch ID and Face ID. It’s such a silly thing but is one of the reasons I would go pro.

This is a pretty niche use case, but I’m a professional musician and I use a 2018 12.9” iPad Pro for reading sheet music on all my gigs and studio sessions. I also write music using the pencil and goodnotes. It’s such an invaluable tool for me, but the only reason I even have a Pro is the big screen. When I finally have to replace it, I will definitely be going for a 13” Air. Thanks for the great work as always!

Awesome vid! I think majority of people should go out and get an M1 ipad air since you can often find it for 399 and I think the small spec bump for an extra 200 dollars just isnt worth it.

I don’t think the M2 air is needed in an Air; what are you exactly using that chip for? :)) M1 I think was more than enough for the iPads.

What is that case

all that you need is the 10th gen.. or previous m1 ipad air..

I opted for the 11” M2 Air instead of the M4 Pro because everything about this iPad is more than good enough for any professional workload, it just might be a tad slower when doing the most intense tasks. It has one of the best, if not the best IPS LCD display I’ve used and the M2 is still a full Mac desktop chip that will keep this iPad snappy for probably 7-10 years for casual use. While the M4 is the absolute best iPad ever made and the best tablet money can buy, I would describe the iPad Air as the second best and encapsulate it’s entire design and philosophy as “More than good enough”. Using it at work and at home has been great, and it’s serving as my laptop.

its abysmal that this model doesn't support secpnd gen apple pencil. this is essentially apple forcing people to upgrade even off a M1 Air. their iPad lineup is all over the place.

Кто то видел свитч рядом с маком

But how does the slower USB-C Port figure into one’s workflow, and how well does the screen handle HDR photos & videos? I have the 12.9” M1 Pro but want a newer chipset unit with a more efficient battery…

You made the exact comparison I was looking for!!🥳too bad you don’t have all the colors 💻

You could argue that the new iPad Airs not being compatible with the new Magic Keyboard is a benefit if you’re upgrading from an older model. You wouldn’t need to buy a new keyboard. Im upgrading from an Air 4 and that was a big reason to not upgrade to the Pro because it was much cheaper

Is it good for digital art and animation and video editing??? And is it future proof??

I agree. While iPads are certainly getting more and more impressive (and expensive), the lack of software to make up for the hardware is certainly a factor to consider when shopping for one. All eyes are on WWDC ‘24 👀

my ipad is the only 60hz device i have everything else goes 120+ and i legit dont even notice. it just didnt register until you mentioned it lmao

A small note on the bezels. The new 11" iPad Air is using roughly the same dimensions as the old Air, which means it will have the noticeably bigger bezels compared to the old iPad 11". But while the 13" air also technically has 12.9" bezels, those are actually slimmer, since it uses the dimensions from the old 12.9" pro. All this means that visually you get the same slim bezels on the 13" Air as you got on the old Pros, but the 11" Air still has the bigger bezels of the older Airs. And that is to say, the models differ in their relative sizes, the 13" is not just a scaled up Air actually.

One thing I don’t think you mentioned is the differential in connector between Air & Pro. The Pro gets Thunderbolt/USB4 and the Air is just listed as USB-C. Any thoughts on the real world impact?

I've bought my M2 iPad Air 11 inch and it just blazes through whatever casual stuff I do on it, even without the Tandem OLED, the Liquid Retina display is just so gorgoeus too!

Dope video Tom. iPad Air is definitely the every-persons iPad. Love my M4 iPad Pro, but it’s overkill for most people

Thanks for the review, I always enjoy them. I took advantage of the new releases and ordered the M1 iPad Air 5 when it went on sale. It'll be perfect for my use case.

is there a grammar error in the title … sounds weird.

First, love ur vids

I was waiting for this!!! :D

Black is much nicer, wrong colour you have got 🙈

The OLED Steam deck is absolutely amazing!

Op

Can someone answer a question for me? 😢 Is the Dynamic Island on the IPhone 14?

While Goodnotes is a great option, the most important feature it is missing is the ability to password protect a note/folder. There is noway I can use it as a diary without it. For that reason alone, I wont put it as number 1.

I saw your coffee, and immediately went "ah shit my coffee. then reached for it to my left. its an iceberg. lol I suppose there is a price to pay for being excited about researching the new things for your M3 air MacBook. also love your vids man keep killing it!!

Must be nice to have money

How do I get that wallpaper?

I’ve uses my ipad as my daily computer for over 2 years now. Being a store manager of 3 stores in Boston, the ipad made it easy to carry, do my job, including teams calls (which got better when I got the ipad 10). I have a mac mini at home for my main home use. And honestly, I wouldn’t recommend the ipad for daily use for everyone. But it works for me.

Nah it’s too small to look at.
