I Bought the "Cheapest" M1 iPad Air 5! Why Pay More?!

The M1 iPad air shows us that Apple is taking their domination of the mobile processor world seriously and I think this is the best overall tablet that you are going to find.
Why is that?

I ordered the 64g (in the blue that I wanted ) but at last minute I switched to 256g ( in space gray) because of the per cost benefit. Also my current over 5-year old 32g iPad battery has to be plugged at all times. My biggest gripe with Apple is that they didn’t have 128g option this time around. I think current smart phones have a standard of 128g so definitely agree with you.

[@pritvidiya8989]

I bought 64gb blue 💙. 256gb varient was way out off my budget. I mainly use it for note writing and content watching so 64gb is enough for me, but in future I will definitely buy larger storage varient. I am an Android user I didn't knew IOS apps are so big in size in compare to Android ones.

[@pritvidiya8989]

@@khaitul I am using 64gb iPad Air and it’s been nearly 9 months and so far I have only used 23gb of 64gb so I think you can go for it. Apple Pencil 2 is way better than Pencil 1 and charging pencil 1 in iPad 10 is ridiculously complicated so go for the Air 5 or Air 4 is also a good option. I hope you‘ll read my reply bcz it’s been 2 weeks since you asked me.

​​@@pritvidiya8989hey even I want to purchase 64 gb bcz of budget issue will it be sufficient and one more thing should I go.. blindly for the blue or purple colour bcz I have seen some backside cracking issue specially in that colours of I pad in KZbin😢

[@pritvidiya8989]

Hi@@kunalkumarnfs12 My iPad Air 5 64gb Blue is almost a year old and I don't have any cracks on the back of my iPad. I've dropped it couple of times yet there is not damage (I am using case tho) so don't worry. It is a great machine for students I take notes on iPad daily. I often download shows and big size games but still I have never used more than half of my storage so if your tight on budget than don't worry 64gb is not much but it's enough. I love the blue colour of my iPad and purple is also a great option. Black, Grey, White, Gold are boring colors go for something spicy. 😂

[@reginaldworthington7558]

The thing about adding a micro SSD slot is that Apple, never one to compromise one of their profit centers, has a pretty good gig going with their iCloud subscription revenue I suspect. They purposely hobble these machines in that area so we are all forced to accept the monthly fees for convenient storage. Just my 2 cents …

[@richarddcrossley]

Full thunderbolt support was the reason I finally upgraded from my iPad Pro 10.5 and OG iPad Pro so no full thunderbolt us worth the extra for me as I can use it with my docks and my older Thunderbolt Display. Good you can use Air with the new display though so be interesting to see if it would work with the older one as well.

[@TheEverydayDad]

Thats a valid point, there are very real reasons to get other devices if they have the features you need.

[@richarddcrossley]

@@TheEverydayDad I think most people don’t buy the 2TB 5G version of the M1 iPad like I have too (I am actually ok with MacBook base model as prefer iPad nowadays).

As you also often say unless you know why you need something you probably don’t 😂 Dad generations love the everyday dad!

[@bobdrums]

Does that work with the old Apple Thunderbolt Display?

[@richarddcrossley]

@@bobdrums the iPad Pro M1 does yep. If you get the keyboard case you need the Apple thunderbolt 2 to three adapter. There is even a MagSafe to USB C converter via ELECJET you can get from Amazon so it charges the iPad via the keyboard case when in use.

Will it be ok if I buy the I pad air 5th 64 gb and buy a external storage of 500gb or buy the 256 variant by spending more bucks . I am so confused 😐

[@harbour123]

I wouldn't buy a 64 gb, so consider this -> if you have to decide between the 256 gb iPad Air 5th Gen or the iPad Pro 3rd Gen .. I would pick the iPad Pro 3rd Gen because it has better camera modular, much much better quad speaker system (you need to hear it to believe how better it is), Promotion screen , 500 nits display which is slightly better than the iPad Air ,slightly larger screen real estate & overall a better looking device. what could you really do with an M1 chip in the iPad Air when your display is stupid 60hz ? it's gonna be choppy compared to 120 hz no matter what.

[@EndzMoney]

I still think the M1 iPad pro is worth getting over the Air 5. You get double the storage, the 120hz screen, and 4 times the data transfer speed the squad speakers all these features are worth the £200/$200 IMO.

[@leafbelly]

Great review, but Apple doesn't want to add that little SD slot because it forces (a small percentage of buyers) to purchase the overly priced 128GB and 256GB versions of the iPad. Unfortunately.

[@Kiri110K]

You’re wrong about speed of storage impact. It’s maybe one of the most important thing in any device. Apple specifically makes their storage drive faster and increases single threaded performance, because of the features that they use to compensate lack of RAM. Adding more RAM is helpful but responsiveness of your device very much depends on speed of main storage. For Apple it’s maybe better to have users complaining about lack of SD card slot, than implementing it and dealing with their devices getting slower and users don’t understanding why. I personally bought iPad pro because of ProMotion and FaceID, and I really love this thing. Sorry if my English isn’t perfect, it’s not my native language.

I still have a 2nd gen iPad pro 12.9 with 256gb. It still runs like new with 281 battery cycles and I seldom use more than 50gb storage. I use my iPad far more than iPhone or MacBook.

If you’re fine with an used iPad Pro, then you can always find good deals on eBay. Just bought a used iPad Pro 11inch 256gb for $650. It has light scratches but is on overall decent condition. I’m able to get apple care for mine so if I want to replace the screen or the battery, it’ll be a brand new Pro again. If you think about it, apple put 64GB instead of 128gb for the Air because they want us to spend the extra $200 for a brand new Pro. Just like how with fast food, the Large will always seem to be a “cheaper” deal but in reality, we end up spending more.

I have an iPad Pro 2017 with Touch ID and iPhone 11, I prefer the Touch ID any time. With Face ID I need to move my phone to detect my face every time, and with mask I’m using passcode. I hope apple reintroduce touch id on next iPhone.

It sounds bad, but in reality all of your videos and photos are stored in iCloud, and take up basically no space on your iPad. Bulk majority of apps take up little to no space. Notes will take up literally no space. You could have 100,000 note files without taking up even 1gb.

Can't we use an External SSD for storage??

[@hersheljones9467]

Have it come in a 12.9 in model n I would be happy

[@mr.horseshoe2301]

Definitely the best value iPad for me. I have terabytes of cloud storage, so I have no need for internal storage. I also don’t care enough about the pro features to pay $200 more. My old iPad lasted 8+ years, so I’m sure the Air 5 should last at least as long for me.

Try installing any game in the cloud and we’ll talk about storage

@@iidentifyasjeffbezos games are not the main storage demanding apps on my iPad, even as I game sometimes. If you are going to use the iPad for safari, youtube and documents you don’t need an M1 at all… just go for the base model. But if you really need an M1, then u eventually are going to need storage.

I want to see them put the M1 in the iPhone this year or even next year

[@stargazer6850]

Question: if you have a Macbook Pro, but only have the money for an iPad pro or an iPhone, which of the two would you go for to make the best possible ecosystem for productivity? I already have a Samsung S10 and a standard iPad that is reaching the end of its life, and I don't know what to go for.

[@AshunkChannel]

what did u go for?

[@olliewonderboy]

Loved your video! Do you believe someone could do basic video editing on a 64gb ipad air 5? Im talking about social media video editing and maybe youtobe vieeo blogs with the option of buying an external ssd or paying for icloud? I just wanna save money hahahah

[@TheEverydayDad]

Yes absolutely, file management will be your biggest headache but the tablet and something like lumafusion could do the edit easily.

[@JCourts2k23]

Best Buy currently has it on sale for $499

[@byrongwarby]

64 gigs is a no go for me, so I’d have to pay extra for more storage, at that point it’s only $50 cheaper for the pro. Idk why this is even an option, but might make sense when they update the pro and increase the price

[@Watchandlearn91]

They do it so you'll go ahead and buy the pro which costs them about $1 more to make. They know a lot of people will not want 64gb and will bump it up to 256 (there is a reason they don't offer a 128gb option) and then realize just what you said - the pro is only $50 more for a higher refresh screen and it has the exact amount of storage they want (128gb).

Buy external storage drive.

[@Watchandlearn91]

@@adityagurav2271 You cannot run apps off an external storage drive, plus who wants to carry around an external storage drive hanging from their tablet? No thanks.

[@rorywalters1614]

You’re comparing the 128GB version of the Pro with the 256GB Air. If you even need the iPad Pro, 128GB should also be insufficient. The price difference of 256GB versions is $150.

[@byrongwarby]

@@rorywalters1614 not really convinced. 128 is doable (pro or not), 64 is not. 256 is great, but for a $50 difference it’s the only selling point of the air. I’d rather have a much better machine with 128 than pay a tiny bit less for a worse machine with 256.
