M2 iPad Air (2024) - First 16 Things To Do! | Tips & Tricks

[@BrandonButch]

What's the first thing you did after setting up your iPad Air? 🤔

[@yasserayman7773]

I didn't do anything, because I don't have screen protector, I will not use it before I have one👀😊

[@annalo9613]

redownload all the apps that i couldn’t have on my old ipad because i didn’t have enough storage

[@Jan-ur5nz]

Mine gets really hot sometimes when I’m just browsing the internet. Is that normal?

[@rzakop]

@@yasserayman7773hahaha, same here.

Which pencil is supported to the iPad Air M2 rather than pencil Pro .....

[@kikifromdablock]

Most practical video ever. You explain everything so well, thank you.

[@pmabrouk]

toooo fast!

[@crystalclear5129]

Thank you for this video. This is my 1st iPad and you’ve definitely taught me a lot!!

[@BrandonButch]

Did you pick up an 11" or 13" iPad Air? 🧐

[@Owern829]

Yep I love my 11 inch one a lot! Thanks for your insights!

[@yabibiin]

Yes I picked up 11 inch but........will return it and change to 13 inch

I recently bought iPad Air 11“ M2 2024 and this video was very useful to setup my new ipad. Thanks a lot 👍🏻

[@TalKTotheMoON1]

Hi i want to ask you about the battery, how long does it last??

[@itspatao7300]

@@TalKTotheMoON1 10-15 hours for me streaming when drawing/taking notes over 24

[@m8hwe]

More than a day

[@idlepopz7136]

Does it heat during notes?

[@Carbar11]

Me too, I got the starlight

[@JayzBeerz]

Can’t wait till I get my 13 inch M2 iPad Air and Magic Keyboard with pencil pro. It’s arrives tomorrow. 😊

[@BrandonButch]

Nice! What color did you go with?

[@JayzBeerz]

@@BrandonButch Blue just like my M1 iPad Air.

[@paulstejskal]

Wait you can use the new keyboard with it? I thought that was only for the pro?

[@aidanwong3429]

I love it! Use it to study and the 13 inch makes a big difference from 11 inch. It’s perfect for those who don’t want an overpowered machine and taking notes.

[@aidanwong3429]

@@paulstejskalThe old Magic Keyboard I think

[@Alpykun]

ok, that video is a great example of 'to the point' term. Thanks :)

[@TheCaptnHammer]

I ordered my new iPad Air M2 and pencil pro a few days ago. I now have to wait like two weeks! I had an iPad mini with the 2nd gen pencil and an iPad 9 with the pencil 1. I have a MacBook Air too. I love how the ecosystem works together so seamlessly with sidecar and copy and paste, airdrop, shared browser tabs etc. thanks for the video!

[@JeremyMinter97]

I just picked up my iPad Air 11 today, this thing is great!

[@JasonWh]

I've been in tech for 27 years and own a cybersecurity firm with a team of 24 and use the iPad frequently. I just bought the smallest Air M2 and I knew about 10% of what I saw on this video. Thanks so much for all the info! Added to my playlist and subscribed!

[@eggdog7888]

off topic but any tips for getting into cybersecurity?

[@JasonWh]

@@eggdog7888 A foundationaal cert you can get without experience like Security+ will give you a leg up. You can then go work or a cybersecurity SOC like for Blackpoint Cyber or a smaller on like us. Spend a few years there getting the benefit of a very wide set of skills across hundreds of clients and then you can start being more selective about jobs doing what you want to do. It really is that simple at the moment.

[@MedievalRichard]

I've got a iPad Air M2 11" 2024 coming tomorrow. My first ever iPad so looking forward. Got it for £520 brand new.

[@AhmadZboom]

Is it good?

[@MedievalRichard]

@@AhmadZboom Yeah, top notch imo. Worth it but get it cheaper than amazon etc like i did.

[@VedantaGuruji]

Superb - Excellent - Great Video please make a video to get maximum from Ipad Air, which include video recording and editing, online teaching, studying, notes etc.

[@SECULARAF]

Haha I’ve had mine for a week and didn’t know half of these things, thanks for elucidating me.

[@AlexanderLindo]

Great tips Brandon. Rock on! 🤘🏼

One of the most useful videos I’ve seen to explain some basic but well hidden or overlooked items. Well done and thanks.

[@BrandonButch]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lindaparkes7554]

Brilliant Video, so thank you. I think a couple of small things have been updated in iOS 18.1.1 as they didn't quite match the way you showed it, but still a great starting point!!

[@brianmatthews1469]

[@MOHITMAURYA-o4x]

can this function also work with ipad 10th generation?

[@akangkhachoudhury1258]

My ipad air M2 2024 battery lasts only around 4 hours. It drains like 20 percent in 1 hour in very light use. I am only using apple notes, ibis paint and a bit of google in it. Is it normal?

[@CareyBarnett]

Great tips video. Love it. One more thing: If, in Stage Manager, you grab one of those lower corner handles, and make a window full screen, you can swipe from the left edge to reduce the window’s size. You can then just tap the window to return it to full size.

[@SecAllTheWay]

Thanks for the tips reg mouse and keyboard

[@kimseymour8896]

I just ordered the iPad Air M2 13” so l was checking out what to do when I get it. Well I have a 5th gen ipad that I’m on right now. I had no idea how do use half the stuff on it but to my surprise, this video has applied to this fifth generation iPad. Although I won’t be using it for long, my wife gets it.. thanks it really is a good video. I’m having a little bit of trouble keeping up with some of the switching around between programs, but this is a really helpful video. God bless you😊

[@pat5170]

Great video Brandon I just bought aiPad Air 11' and you helped me out a lot, thanks. This is my first iPad do you recommend putting a screen saver on it?

[@seekingjoynow1722]

So much info. I am pretty low tech and will need to go through this again. I am enjoying my IPAD but it is more complicated than my Samsung tablet was. Apple customer service is very good at explaining things and I called them a lot with my MacBook. Your video on the IPhone really helped me set up the phone easily. Thanks.

[@moncatajan3138]

I got my iPad Air M2 11” and I think this is the best iPad ever made in terms of hardware, size, looks and speed. With a magic keyboard this looks so amazing and you can do everything you want. I still dont have the pencil as it only works with Pencil Pro which is kinda expensive but overall this iPad Aie M2 works perfectly from watching videos, gaming, note taking/drawing! So happy with this ipad coming from ipad 7th gen 😊

Great advice Brandon, can you do a quick vid on the new magic keyboards? IE -short cuts etc. Cheers mate.

[@ida4095]

Thank you for the video! One tip I learned somewhere, you can use your palm as your finger print reader so you don't have to reach it with your finger. Just adjust the iPad on how you would hold it and scan the area of skin that would be touching it

I do not use any of Apple's optimizing battery options. 15 Pro Max is still 100% and I plan on doing the same on my new iPad Air. I just charge to 85% or 90% on my own. I set a timer to remind to unplug it.

What's your on board keyboard that you use with numeric?

[@nirmalrana3538]

Hello Brandon. I have some serious question before I purchase iPad air. I am studying postgraduate and I deal with a lot of complex mathematical formulas. At the moment I am using software called 'MathCAD' for my study. (MathCAD is engineering calculator, you define variables and write equations and it will give instant answer with quality documentation). The problem is I have to type each formula using keyboard by remembering shortcuts. Is there any possibility that I can use mathCAD on iPad with iPencil pro to write equations and it will reflect on MathCAD? I am keen to know the solution for this. Hope my question is clear. Looking forward to hear from you. 😇

Should be completely fine. If you don't need the space, no reason to waste money for it.
