Don't WASTE Your MONEY! iPad Air 5 vs iPad 10 Explained

[@Janknitz1]

I’m tired of video bloggers treating lesser iPads as not worth the money because they handicap video editing. The people who need video editing capability is a small and select group. So I appreciate you addressing what most people need an iPad for vs the content creating community. I’m still rocking a 7th gen iPad and it does everything I want or need in my work environment.

[@0zzkiuzz0]

You’re still rocking on a 7th gen ipad so you won’t know or feel anything about the benefits of using the 10th gen ipad or ipad air 5, so you don’t understand why peoples are considering what type of ipad is best for them.

One of the reasons the iPad 10 has a non-laminated display is for schools who use them. It makes it much less expensive to repair cracked screens. Same thing with the reason for the iPad pencil 1st gen. Again schools need a cheaper option.

[@JanDobrodumow]

I have an air 5 and am thinking of downgrading and using the cashback for something else. I love this machine, it's so slick and light, and the sound is brilliant, but I don't really use its full power, for my needs I know a basic ipad will do the job, and losing the laminated display wouldn't dissuade me from downgrading to a 10 either, it's a loss of quality, but not a huge one. I think the air 5 is aimed at artists and editors and at those for whom having state-of-the-art stuff is important. For office use and daily life, it's a bit overkill.

[@nixa2321]

I am an artist but semi-professional. I mostly just draw tattoo flashes etc. and I bought Air 5 last year second handed. This was my first Apple device ever so first I was like "wow" and using this iPad was almost like a ritual for me but after few months I barerly used it. I didn't put glass protector cause I read on the internet it may affect the drawing experience, cause problems with apple pencil etc. and the apple pencil isn't able to scratch the screen since its designed to use on it. Oh god, I wish I could go back in time and unread this bullsh*t and put the protector on my iPad when it hasn't any scratches...It made me thinking of selling this iPad and buy some cheaper model but this time brand new and definitely with screen protector. So I sold it few days ago and I'm looking for a cheaper model.

[@erickbooster1]

It's not about the best one between these two. It's about the best value one provides for the purpose you're asking and for the money you're willing to pay. I'm going for the 10th gen because it gives me one extra hour of battery life and sports the new front camera setup, it has the power of the 2020 ipad air which gives five years of software updates support at the least.

Also, it supports some of the music streaming apps for my home stereo system and serves that purpose well.

For me, the main advantage of the Air is 8 GB of RAM. Paired with the M1 SoC, it will remain fast for years to come. 4GB of RAM in an iPad 10 is probably fine now, but what about the next couple of years? And the price difference due to the discount was very negligible. But still I would prefer to have a Mac OS instead of a phone OS. The iPad Air 5th has pretty much the same hardware as the Mac Air 2020. You can attach bt keyboard and mouse and even an external display! Hope to see more professional OS.

[@NaturalLemon]

These are entry level iPads 4GB of ram is fine for everyday. They will still function fine in the next 5 years from now just based on how well older models are performing to date. My mother uses my older iPad 6th gen and I have the 9th gen and they still function fine for emails, browsing, videoplay back and those models even less ram. The technical specs of hardware isn't as obsolete as you think just after a few years.

[@ravenouspotato]

⁠@@NaturalLemon I’ve spent a long time deciding, especially because I already have the gen 1 Pencil which is compatible with the 10! I use it with my ipad 8 but I can’t bring my desktop which I use to edit films with me to boarding school so I’m getting an air 5 to use for editing. And hardware is important to me because it needs to process 4k footage from my Sony camera smoothly. So I guess it depends on the situation ✨

[@johntechwriter]

Disagree. My Air 4 has only 4 GB of memory yet streams 4K movies with amazing image quality and no lag, despite being connected wirelessly. But that is where the tablet’s form factor ends. It cannot replace a workstation for authoring, and therefore does not need a “professional” OS. In fact, many would argue the Air 4 with 256 GB storage might be the Goldilocks solution for general tablet use among the iPad range, if not in the industry.

[@MasterSnaker]

As someone who upgraded from an iPad Gen 6 to an iPad Air 5, I would never go back to an iPad without the laminated display. The screen being flush is a huge improvement when using the Apple Pencil. The Apple Pencil 2 is also a big upgrade from the Apple Pencil 1. Those two features alone make me happy with my decision and even if the 10 was out when I got my Air 5, I would still have gone with the Air 5.

The iPad 10 will be great if you won't be using an Apple Pencil to write a lot and don't care about a laminated display, while getting the same storage sizes, cheaper, and same device sizes as the iPad air 5. I personally like writing a lot for school, so the iPad 10 would give me a frustrating time to use with the Apple Pencil situation, so the iPad air 5 is much more worth it to me with the Apple pencil 2nd generation, for a much smoother writing experience. The ipad first generation pencil is really glitchy to use now adays. The pencil won't let you write at times and makes you plug it into a charger before it activates. The Ipad 2nd generation doesn't have this issue. I personally upgraded from an ipad 9 after a year of use just because how sick I was with how the first gen pencil operated and the old design of the device.

[@Brians_World81]

For casual web browsing and reading the news, ipad 9th gen for 250 bucks is the best value. Still insanely fast and half the price of either one of these.

[@transitengineer]

I agree 100 percent. In November 2022, I ordered a basic 9th generation iPad on Apple's Veteran web site fully loaded with 256GB and the data cell option which, saved me 10 percent. Next, I added the Logitech "Combo Touch" and everything has been working great (smile...smile).

I just switched from my old windows laptop to this 10th gen iPad. Unless you are drawing more than anything else don’t spend more on an air.

Nothing there linked to battery life.

[@chi-towncalifornia5916]

One of the biggest advantages I see about getting the iPad Air 5 over the 10th gen is the Air 5 has better accessory support with the Pencil 2 and the Magic Keybaord. I use both accessories with my M2 iPad Pro, and they’re awesome, and are far better than the Magic Keboard Folio and Pencil 1 you have to use on the 10th gen. Plus, if you upgrade from an Air to a Pro, you can reuse both accessories, unlike with the 10th gen. Even if you don’t need a MKB or a Pencil 2, I’d still recommend the Air 5 because of the more future-proof internals, and the laminated display. If you’re really on a budget, then go for a 9th gen iPad. I got the chance to use one, and it’s a wonderful tablet, especially for the prices you can get it for.

The iPad 10 is nice but the Air is definitely more future proof.

It’s the kind of tablet you can expect to keep for years, just like the 2018 iPad Pro which is still very much usable today.

I think the iPad Air has a shorter life span when it comes to future software support though. I would say the iPad 10 is a better pick, if you don't focus on drawing and writing and just want the best bang for your buck, especially when you want to use it for video calling, as the camera placement is so much better on the iPad 10.

@@_modiX the iPad Air is M1, it will receive the same software updates as the iPad Pro M1. It’s definitely the flagship chip, only to be replaced by other M chips. For example, AAA video games are about to be released on the iPhone 15 Pro, but also on the M1 iPads, including the Air. You’ll get much more out of it than an iPad 10, and probably for much longer although it is one year older. And then again, it is not significantly more expensive when bought second hand. Add on top of that the laminated display and Apple Pencil 2 compatibility… it’s a no brainer.

I have just sold my 6th gen iPad and lean to buy Air 5 rather than iPad 10. Based on this video, advantages I like are anti-reflective coating and better speakers quality. The price difference in Ukraine is $100 (400 vs 500) Thanks a lot for a great review!

[@fresco_dinero5155]

I use my iPad Air 5th gen everyday. For school, work, entertainment, planning, notes taking. Also the biggest thing I love about it is the external monitor support. It works so good. My only complaint is certain apps that would largely benefit from 16:9 support don’t. Like games for example, I play a lot of asphalt 9 and 5e complete full screen isn’t available but I hope sooner or later they get around to it

[@darina4895]

[@transitengineer]

Thank you, for a every good comparison review between both iPad models. For myself, I never recommend the basic iPad 10th generation ... it is either the older basic iPad 9th generation or the older iPad 4th generation. If you prefer the newer design and use of the Apple 2nd generation pencil the iPad Air is the winner. However, if like myself you prefer the older classic design and look its the basic iPad 9th generation for you. Which, still has a home button, headphone jack, lighting port, and also supports Apple's "center stage" function (smile...smile).

I have always used a Kindle fire but need something more. I spend more than 8 hours a day on it and find I need a new one every one to two years. I read a book a day, do research and would now like to use it for artwork and other creative ventures. My grandson likes to make videos and play games when he is here. What would be the best product for our usage? And how big a difference compared to the Kindle fire?

[@boomboom-sf5ko]

Get the air 5 if he does a lot of video editing but the 10th gen would be great for youand you wouldn't need the M1 chip but for your grandson it's air 5

[@kathy6301]

As a student, I do consider buying an I Pad for taking notes but also for private use like streaming services. I would take it to school everyday and probably spend about 4 to 6 hours daily using good notes or other apps for taking notes. Based on this which one would you recommend?

I need to know this too!

[@kathy6301]

@@khadijakhan7335 Hi! So I bought the IPad 10 just a few months back and I can say: I am amazed. The price is obviously high but its worth every penny! Battery is great, display is awesome and for taking notes its also absolutely worth it! I will be getting a paperlike screen protector ( which i can take off anytime and attach agaun with magnets )which will make the writing experience better while also making it able to watch movies and shows! so i definitely recommend the IPad 10! I hope this helps!

I think future proof is a big thing for me. I buy products and keep them for years. My current iPad is the iPad Pro 10.5" (2017) and I am struggling to part with it for the iPad 10th gen or iPad Air. Mainly due to the fact that neither iPad have a 120hz display.

[@attila_m]

I need to buy a new iPad for my 14 years old daughter. I thought it is time to have one that she can use for the coming school years, also replacing her Lenovo Yoga book and old iPad Air (2). Any hints? At this point Air 5 seems a better choice. The front camera placement is a drawback, yes - but besides that Air 5 offers so much more. She is also talented in drawing and music so I thought it would open up a possibility for her as well to develop into any directions...

[@saghar_2004]

Can you please write the name of that pencil you said , which is 30 dollars?

I come from the future!! Current prices are 399 for air and 349 for 10th gen. Making this an easy decision now where before i would have probably went with the 10th gen.

[@nikolasavic1525]

You should still go with 10th gen. Way way better battery life

[@JohnSmith-lc8mp]

@@nikolasavic1525 for 50 bucks you have to go with the air. The 10th does have better battery life which is important, but m1 chip, laminated screen and apple pencil 2/magic keyboard support are way better. If you really need the new front facing camera on the side instead of top then Maybe get the 10th. Amazon has had the 10th on sale for 300 off and on during the last 2 months which is good.

They are both nice iPads! I bought both to compare and I kept the 10th gen because the iPad Air 5 had a real flimsy thin backing plate that buckled and flexed and made noise whereas the 10th gen iPad has a beefy thick chassis. I also like Bluetooth 5.2 upgrade and the front facing camera on the center position.

I bought an ipad 10 after not owning any apple products since i was in my early teens with the 3rd gen ipod touch. I have to say, the ipad 10 is overpriced and outdated junk. After 48 hours im very unimpressed and i felt like when i bought it best buy salesmen kept trying to push the next model on me, its absolutely ridiculous how new ipads in 2024 start at 64 gigs and if you want more storage youll be at the starting price point for the next ipad model. Im returning this garage, do yourself a favor and look for an Android tablet that starts are the same price point as Ipads do, you get a whole lot more bang for your buck get out of this apple bubble.
