iPad 10th generation vs iPad Air 5 - WHICH ONE?! | 2022 iPad buying guide

Refurb Air. Not much more money and get a more modern IPad.

[@johnleune1844]

If I had to choose between these two models I would always go for the Air. Not only for the pencil 2 support but the M1 chip will give you stage manager and external monitor support as soon as iPadOS 16.2 becomes available.

This is exactly my point as well. The iPad Air will become a viable computer for most casual users. Great option for students and kids.

I got the iPad Air 5 shipped new open box 450. I was goining to get the iPad 10 but I had iPad 8 and it disappoints 2 gen later so if I got the 10 well…. M1 all day I get today they are very close but tomorrow we will not be able to say that

This is one of those reviews i was looking for. Finally someone puts it into all perspectives. Not all of us are using a pencil on the iPad and most reviewers concentrate solely on that, bashing the 10th gen, dismiss it completely.

I agree with you. I bought an iPad 10G Wifi in Australia. I'm a first-time iPad User. I use it for taking notes, general browsing, and YT Kids for my child. I don't miss the Center Stage functionality at all. I bought the Logi Crayon to write and Logitech ComboTouch as the keyboard with the $ I saved.

[@doofusboy7054]

If you don't use the apple pencil I still believe the 9th gen iPad is a way better bang for your buck. You're looking for the basics and budget only, and apart from the newer design it doesn't offer much more than that.

I was intending to buy the IPad (10th gen) but pleasantly found that Best Buy this week has the IPad Air for $499 which is a huge $100 discount. So it was a no brainer to buy the Air.

[@flamehazejosh]

I ended up with the Air 5 and i got the Apple Pencil and Logictech keyboard portfolio (it has the function keys and great keyboard at half the price of the Magic Keyboard) for myself. I will end up getting the Gen 10 for my mom so she has a reliable device for when my sister want to FaceTime her (she like the camera position).

[@autumnrose_tv]

I would always choose the air over the 10th gen, not only for Apple Pencil 2 support, but bc of the laminated display and M1 chip. That being said, I am hoping that apple finds a way to give the Air and Pro models a landscape camera with Apple Pencil 2 support

[@Alabanzas159]

Ipad 10 is 300 in amazon today

[@Therejectionartist]

No doubt the next air model with get the landscape camera, I think they hold this stuff back to force upgrades and leave themselves room for upgrading their tablets. It makes perfect business sense, but why does a lower price 10 gen model have some better features like landscape camera, and the more expensive air doesn’t?

[@lefthanded5473]

[@dark_nightwing_xl2797]

Nice

[@Steve-zl2vz]

After so many reviews raving about the iPad Air I was relieved to see an appropriately critical review that also highlighted some of the key differences between it and the 10th gen iPad. The only place I might disagree with is that the M1 chipset will likely help the upgraded software run more efficiently (and hopefully longer that the A14) as this iPad gets older. Otherwise, I really like that the camera on the 10th gen is more appropriately located for use in video calls if I'm using it as a laptop. The other option is getting the iPad Air and using another keyboard that allows use in portrait mode... What folio keyboard allows this? Suggestions?

[@nickbodily8495]

Logitech combo touch

[@interstellarsnow]

@@nickbodily8495i think the commented meant one where the keyboard is located on the side the usb-c port is, which the logitech combo touch isn't. i dont actually think such thing exists yet as there probably isn't much demand for it

An unnecessary comparison between two different things with completely different price range and audience. I'm already spending a lot when I'm going to buy iPad 10h gen, I really don't see a real value in the end to spend that extra hundred and something euros when the performance/the screen/the size are the same or almost the same. Thanks for the time and the comparison. Appreciate it. Quality work 👌

[@angelinegiselle]

i feel again that this may be an unpopular opinion - as a user of an ancient 2017 10.5in ipad pro + 1st gen apple pencil, the 10th gen looks pretty good except for the colours. i use my ipad primarily to watch movies, youtube videos, emails, some web surfing i.e. *exactly* what you said ipad users do, & have realised that i don’t exactly need a pro for all this. that sald, i’ve only ever used my ipad pro so there’s no comparison for me. as for losing the pencil’s cap - it is magnetic & attaches itself to the side of the ipad. of course with disappearing bezels maybe it’s different now but that’s what i do. i’ve also done minor editing work on M365 apps / acrobat & everything’s been great. i was inspired by david hockney & had intended the ipad pro + pencil to do more digital art but it never went very far 😅 all this makes me wonder if the 10th gen is for those like me who jumped at getting the pro before realising that an « ordinary » version would do very well too. & we don’t even have to get a new pencil ! i have no incentive to get a new ipad but desperately need to replace the smart keyboard.

[@michelsaner9457]

I owned the 10.5 Pro and changed recently to the 10th gen. iPad due to the facts you describe above. Surprisingly the new one is superior in pretty much any field despite speakers and anti reflective coating.

I currently have an iPad 9th Gen and I bought an Apple Pencil and a case that is designed to hold the pencil. I’ve had them about a year now and I think I’ve used the pencil twice. On the other hand I’ve had to quite a few video calls and meetings and I don’t like the off center camera view. So, I might be one of the few people who would be interested in the 10th Gen, especially with the nice keyboards, but right now, the 9th is fine.

You are totally right. Too many variants now. I own a 12.9 iPad Pro 2021 version and looking at getting an iPad for my 8 year old son. The models I was looking at were iPad 9, 10 Air 2022 or iPad Pro 11 inch 2021. I opted for the Pro 11 inch 2021. The reason I finally opted for this is the refresh rate, a compromise of internal storage (128gb) Face ID, quad speakers were most of the reasons why I decided on this,

[@PeterEmery]

I wanted a blue 256 GB iPad Air 5 cellular but the store only had that configuration in starlight. It's not important because it stays permanently in a case and the colour is mostly not seen. I bought a month before the iPad 10 was released. On that release date the price of the Air increased by A$110.

[@evaklein3667]

I’m super conflicted, because I want a new ipad (currently have the air 2 from 2016), and i want to use it for daily stuff (email, youtube, etc), but also for drawing with procreate. I have a 1st gen apple pencil, so i wouldn’t be able to use that with the air. Is it really that much of an issue to charge the pencil with a cable? Because how often do you really need to do that? Otherwise I’d need to spend €200 more on the air + invest in a 2nd gen apple pencil. Is that worth it? idk…

[@haroldlladoc]

I’d go for the iPad Air because it has a better keyboard (sits on your lap, backlit keyboard, and enables you to charge while using a USB C accessory), and better CPU (M1 Chip which means the device is future proofed for at least 5 years).

[@brandoncrutchfield2258]

I have the iPad 9, and I’ve been wanting to upgrade for a couple years now. Issue is though I can’t seem to find one that I want. I like the mini but it’s just too small, the 10 is nice and was my overall pick but the Apple Pencil situation is just too inconvenient. The iPad Air 5 is what I would go with but it doesn’t have that landscape camera placement. So this is my dilemma 🙃.

[@zetekhgg5592]

I’m in the same position man except mines a 7th gen lmao, from everything I’ve read researched if you can get a 5th gen air on a good deal it seems to be perfect. If you’re desperate for that landscape camera the m2 air is just a minor spec bumped 5th gen!

I recently upgraded from a 6th gen to the 5th gen air and whilst I think it’s brilliant and a huge upgrade, I would’ve preferred to save a bit of money and buy the 10th gen had it been out at the time. Yes it’s a controversial opinion, but I’ve never used the Apple pencil nor have any intention to so this issue doesn’t bother me, nor does the unlaminated screen. At the end of the day I wanted an iPad with the newer full screen design that uses usb c and one that allows me to do lots of writing and the new keyboard looks better then the rest. My only real criticism of the new 10th gen is the ridiculous price increase from the 9th gen

[@PC-ch1md]

I have a 6 year old iPad that i traded for $65.00. The iPad cost me 419.00 less $65.00 so I paid about $365.00. I was hesitant at first but I figured I only need this for watching movies and emails web surfing and the likes. It’s pricey but I hope it will be like my iPad 5th gen that I was able to use for 6 years. I didn’t get the 9th gen because I want the usb c. So basically I skipped on the 9th gen because of the screen size and the usb c.

I feel like if you don’t care about the pencil than save the money and get the 10th gen and only if you really want the new design. I really feel like wanted to get this out at $399 and couldn’t so they kept the 9th gen in the line up. Long term I think the plan will be drop the 9th get this to $399, drop the 11in pro and maybe do a 14 or 15in pro. So the future line up will be Pro with M series, Air with M series -1 (gen behind the Pro), Mini with an A+ chip (chip that is in the iPhone Pro series that year) at $449, Base iPad with A chip (from the base iPhone) for $399

[@eurosteve50]

I am far from being an expert but my 2-cents is that you should get the best one on your list, which is the Air 5. 7-8 years is a long time in the world of technology and you want your device to last a long time. Also if you're going to be using the Apple Pencil extensively, it seems like the laminated display (in the Air) would be a better experience (as well as compatibility with the Pencil 2). I know you must have a lot of expenses right now, but it seems to me that a few hundred dollars extra for an essential tool is worth it.

[@carloslegarda10]

Laminated screen does not mean a smaller gap. It means no gap at all. That results in a much reduced glare. The entry-level iPad has a non-laminated screen because it’s geared towards young people (kids, teenagers), and old people (older parents and grandparents) who just need a basic iPad for surfing, gaming, consuming media, and are those likely to be clumsy enough or reckless enough to drop their iPad. There will be much more glare than the non-laminated screen but the screen will be much much cheaper to repair since the glass is not fused to the screen. If you break an iPad with a laminated screen, you will be spending much more to repair it. As far as the iPad 10th gen iPad supporting the 1st gen Apple Pencil, I totally get it. You don’t buy an iPad 10th gen unless you are on a budget whether it’s for use in a Kiosk, or restaurant as a menu or point of sale device, or in a school or factory and the 1st gen Apple Pencil is cheaper. In families the younger members probably inherit the 1st Gen Apple Pencils when older members upgrade to devices using 2nd generation Apple Pencils. There are probably already a ton of 1st generation Apple Pencils out there and offering a new iPad that continues to support it really just makes sense especially to attract people on a budget. As far as the dongle/cable situation is concerned. I personally very much prefer to have that scenario than to have the Apple Pencil sticking directly out of my iPad when I try to continue to use it while I wait for the Apple Pencil to charge because it feels more awkward to me than holding it with a cable sticking out of it as I already do when I use my iPad while my iPad itself is charging.

The 10th gen ipad isnt really a budget ipad considering the price.

[@carloslegarda10]

@@eyhtwozed2606 It's perhaps for those with a higher budget than most but it is still a budget iPad compared to getting an iPad Air or iPad Pro. Also, this is cheaper in some cases for those with a need for an iPad AND a "laptop". The question is what your budget is. There are also plenty of second hand iPads out there for those with a lower budget. The non-laminated screen is attractive for those who are at a higher risk of screen breakage (families with toddlers and young kids, restaurants, factories, etc.) And the cost to replacing a non-laminated iPad screen is much much cheaper than the cost to replace a laminated screen.

[@rwesteinde]

No one seems to be talking about the proper support for an external monitor that comes with all m1 iPads. That’s the largest reason for me to have bought the iPad Air 5

[@MarkEllisReviews]

If no one’s talking about something… there’s usually a reason 😉

[@guycortesi]

The external monitor full screen support for the M1 / M2 iPads is a pretty big deal. I think it will get more coverage once it is out for public beta and release at iPad OS 16.2. It currently is on 16.2.1 developer beta only, but it’s pretty good. It’s currently a bit buggy but will be a nice addition when using the iPad with a desktop setup and external monitor or when connected to a projector for presentations. Getting rid of the black bars is pretty significant. That feature (and the M1) along with a better 12M camera, faster USB-C, and 5G support make the 5th gen Air a better deal than the 4th gen, though the 4th gen is still a good device.

A small advice mark. When you compare the 2 items keep it left & right through the end of the video without interchanging their sides.

I wish making these videos was that simple 😉

Thank you, thank you I'm buying the Air 5 now.

Glad I could help!

The iPad is the one Apple product I can’t find a use for. I have a Mac mini that suits my needs and an iPhone but where would I fit in an iPad?

[@ahah1785]

its a laptop replacement that is way more convinient on the go than acutual laptop

[@paprika2280]

I started out playing Hearthstone on it and browsing the web when lying in bed. Finally discovered it’s an amazing device for studying.

[@MrStuartcam1980]

The iPad Air M1 currently £569 on Amazon at the moment. No brainer at this price which one to get.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Great price!

[@adamski101]

64GB though. Lousy.

[@kellieashman6908]

If they’ve changed the charging port to usb c what do you do with all your lightning cables? Is there a way to convert them?

[@dicey3322]

I’m sure you figured it out after the video, and it’s been pointed out by others, but the location of the camera precludes the MagSafe pencil connection, I would deal with the awkward camera placement to have use of the Pencil 2.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Yup. No reason to prioritise that camera placement over the Apple Pencil choice.

[@grahamniven]

Depends on how you use the thing. If you don't ever use a pencil and do a lot of Zoom calls.....

[@OfficiaFoxDeltaGames]

I knew there was something strange. I’m new to Apples ecosystem. I was so confused when I was picking out an iPad, given the prices and sizes where very close to each other. So I picked the Air5 because know M1 is better. I’m glad I’m not the only one who is confused by all these models.

[@harrisra4944]

Really appreciate your product reviews. Videos are brilliant. Definitely my favorite stop over to check out Apple products. Well done.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Awesome - thank you!

[@real-pinguin]

we need much more of these critical videos/reviews. Apple needs to wake up and learn again to do it right for the customers.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

It won't be my last ;)

[@car_tar3882]

The reason they could not support pencil 2 is that the camera uses the place where the magnets and charging coil goes for the pencil

[@johnlawrencedeleon7614]

Help guys, which is better Ipad 10th Gen Wifi + Cellular or Air 5 Wifi only? Considering that our place offers no Wifi in public places like schools. Thank u!

sooo can i use an iPad 10 case on my iPad air5?? they don't make the one I want for the air but they are so close can it work???

I just got the iPad Air 5th Gen, and I'm digging it.

[@khaitul]

hey, I'm planning to buy iPad air 5 for my next 5 years of college. I'll just use it for note taking, reading, lectures and maybe streaming. Will 64GB suffice for next 5 years if I also use iCloud+? Or should I go for 256GB iPad 10gen, which is priced the same here.

[@aclaylambisabirdman6324]

@@khaitul 256 gb full out, only because I've been there before and it is a nightmare not to have enough internal storage friend!

[@dejaa]

Thank you for this video ! Helped so much.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

No problem!

[@skm6777]

TouchID on the power button has always been a problem with me because the same button is used to turn the iPad off. So I always turn it off when I mean to turn it on because I push by habit. Laminated display, though? Worth the extra money, because I HATE the non-lam displays.

posted this 11 month ago.never got a reply maybe missed it but what about battery live time? I have seen 3 youtubes compairing battery from ipad mini, 9th, 10th, air, pro 11 and pro 12.9 In each of them the 10th was going 1 hour longer than air? i have also seen feedback from users about the short battery live of ipad air. Otherwise i would buy the air but that is making me doubt it

[@tofu2019]

Do you guys think the ipad air 5 with 64gb will suffice if I use it for uni for 4 years? I have been contemplating between the air 5 64gb and 10th gen 256gb for a while, and I still dont know which one to get. I am just worried that the A14 chip in the 10th gen will stop having updates while im in uni, and I am worried about the storage of the air 5. Which one should I get? If I buy an external drive, would it make a huge difference?

[@bartwolczyk981]

Can i still use this as a secondary screen, on my mac?

[@williamshaneblyth]

Audio production which is a big thing on the iPad the M1 is definitely faster on those things recording multitracked compositions with virtual instruments there is a massive user base for this so that's one group who want an air or pro with the M1 in it.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Where’s Logic Pro, though?!

[@DjangoGroen]

I’ll go for the air since they cost almost the same in my country. It’s a 50 euro difference

[@Jaylikescar]

I love it I upgraded from the mini 5 so I’m happy I can use my Apple Pencil still

[@dark_nightwing_xl2797]

True

[@RockMauler]

Never made it past the color option part of the video which of course was the first part. Seems absolutely meaningless for a device that clearly needs a protective cover. Remember time is the most valuable thing you have because you cannot get more of it. So I prefer not to waste it.

[@dark_nightwing_xl2797]

That’s why I picked iPad10

[@herb414]

Just scooped up a decent condition 4th gen Air for $275 USD. Feel like it’s hard to justify buying the 10th gen unless you get some sort of deal or really want that camera placement.

[@nichole2116]

I think I might get the Air bc I’m a stickler for not carrying heavy things in my bag lol and I have the MacBook Air…and I’m not using it as my main source…did u get the pencil by chance?

[@herb414]

@@nichole2116 No I did not get the pencil. My used iPad came with an off brand pencil but I never use it. I did, however, get both the apple folio case and the Magic Keyboard as well. It’s nice being able to transition from a laptop form factor to a tablet all on the same machine. I also have an M1 MacBook Air but I never find myself using it unless I need a desktop class application like excel or want true multitasking/secondary monitor support.

[@alexiacomanescu3630]

can you use the same case for both of them? i was thinking since they are the same size if i can use the case from the air 5 on the 10th gen since in my country cases for 10th gen are really hard to find because they are all out of stock

[@Madisartchannel]

the 10th gen is thicker than the air. so it won’t fit

[@joshuaduca5527]

i dont see any point on upgrading the ipad because they have still same purpose on what previous ipad can do with 😅

[@farianarayeanahaniff6620]

Could it be because of having access to use the pen while charging the reason why they changed up the charging technique??

[@YawarMurtaza-z9k]

Apple pencile Gen 2 with magnetic charging is the only reason I went with iPad Air. Apple did that on purpose so that poeple will spend more money on iPad Air which is not too far (the 256GB version) from iPad Pro (128GB).

[@terrym3837]

Ipad Air 5 for me

Thankx for this comment!

[@lokitabesos1551]

Yeah I traded my ipad 10th generation for the Apple air 5th generation because I wanted to use the pencil and couldn’t because they told me I’d need to buy an adapter separately which piss me off.. so I said I’m going to trade my Apple 10 generation for the Apple air since the pencil is 2 generation and I don’t need a adapter
