iPad Air 4 Review - Two Weeks Later!

The Air 4 doesn't just beat the Pro in single thread performance, it beats Intel's flagship 10900K. For multicore, it is on par with the base model 13" MacBook Pro, and about 37% of the performance of the 10900K. When you consider that the A14 is a 6W CPU, and the 10900K is a 125W fire-breathing monster, the prospects for the Apple Silicon Mac are very exciting indeed.

[@ananthprem8804]

$80 difference between iPad 8th gen 32GB vs iPad Air 3rd Gen 64BG? Hands down iPad Air 3rd Gen. It’s a steal. I had to make the same decision. Slightly more delta - about $100. Went with the Air. My reasoning: - Much better screen - Laminated display (you’re touching the screen all the time) - Anti-reflective coating (If you’re indoors, you have lights. If you’re outdoor, you have lights) - P3 color gamut (It’s not exactly HDR, but it’s certainly got more color reproduction) - True-tone (Didn’t think I’d like it, but I’m enjoying the difference) - Slightly bigger at 10.5” vs 10.2” - Apple Pencil works much better with laminated display - 64 GB (I didn’t think I’d need more than 25GB before buying. I’m currently using 52-55GB 😅. 32GB is a squeeze (but I wouldn’t pay $100 for 128GB) - Better FaceTime camera (7MP vs 1.2MP) - 35 grams lighter (456gm vs 490gm) - 2nd-gen TouchID in iPad Air (Nothing mentioned on 2020 iPad) - Bluetooth 5.0 (Air) vs 4.2 (2020 iPad) So yeah. $80 is a steal. I’d be willing to pay up to $150 difference for Air (considering the above mentioned models)

[@MrGERiarza]

I’ve been using the iPad Air 4 for one week now. Saved 250 euros by buying the Air instead of the Pro. One thing I was worried about is storage, as 128 Gb seems like the perfect amount of storage for keeping all apps, photos and videos on one device for the coming years. I double checked my old Air to see how I was doing previously with storage, realized half of the apps I had installed on the device taking up storage space were apps I wasn’t using anymore. For a mere 1 euro a month, I have about 25 Gb of photos, videos and files saved in iCloud (50Gb subscription), which I use with my other devices as well. If you are a person like me that appreciates a laminated and balanced display design, use your device to take notes, plays Apple Arcade games, streams most other stuff ,and wants an Apple Pencil that attaches and charges in a very efficient manner, this is the iPad for you. Even though I am used to FaceID on the iPhone, the new fingerprint reader grows on you.

[@TerriRoberts]

I ultimately went for the 11" Pro, coming from an old original iPad Pro. I realised the main features I wanted from an iPad, the promotion and face ID, were deal breakers for the Air for me and that if i'm spending this much money on a device I probably shouldn't make any compromises. And on top of that I definitely need more than 64gb which would mean bumping up to the more expensive model of the Air, making it almost the same price of the Pro anyway.

[@mbrackmann8]

That was my reasoning as well. 64gbs for $600 is unacceptable imo. For the $200 extra, getting face id, promotion, and 128gbs was 100% worth it for me.

The only thing why i am tilting towards the pro is the 120hz display, since I sketch a lot (currently on my iPad mini 5), use my iPad for music production, photo editing and loads of reading. would the refresh rate make any noticable difference during daily usage or is it of any good use 🤔 or just some "PRO" thing.

My daughter has a iPad mini, my girl has the 6th gen iPad... I think I want this air

[@jeffreywalton479]

I'm guessing that in terms of display alone, I'm in for a pleasant surprise when my Air 4 gets here, compared to the iPad 4 and Air 1 I've used for the last eight years.

[@woodcider]

The only reason I went with the 11” Pro is because of the 1 TB of storage. I was simply done with offloading videos as soon as I finished in iMovie or deleting movies to make room. Plus it should future-proof things for me for a long while. Since I was coming from an Air 2, you can see I hold onto my electronics.

[@mrjafs4616]

Which one do you think is good for heavy online gaming? The one can handle heat for playing for too long? Im talking about 4 to 5 hours of playing? Ipad pro 2020 128gb or ipad air 256 gb for same price.for heavy gaming only

[@MrHydevsDrJekyll]

When is the iPad Pro going to run software and be a more similar product to the windows surface replacing the lab top?

[@KhairulImam10100]

Apple is a different environment. Get used to it

[@etoirandolph665]

I’m coming from the 10.5 air 3rd generation 256gb. This generation of the air is way better. I had so many issues with the 3rd generation.

[@jiehuang1269]

what issue do you have with 10.5 air 3? I'm thinking of buying one. Thanks!

[@iLastStar]

Could you put time stamps in future videos please

[@toriamarie7018]

The only thing I've ever used for art is my Amazon fire that I got 2013/2014 which is so old now that I can't draw on it anymore. Im still super stuck on whether I should get the air or a basic ipad

[@meetmeinva]

Great video; very informative. If I get the iPad Air but don’t want the smart/magic keyboard, which protective case would you recommend?

[@David_Bellows]

Just suffered bendgate on my iPad Pro, 😭 I wonder if iPad Air has the same issue

[@ReneRitchie]

There's no bendgate. Metal bends, plastic cracks, ceramics shatter, glass breaks. If you got a bent iPad in the box, take it back to Apple and have them exchange it. No one should accept damaged goods on purchase.

[@marcelchaloupka]

@@ReneRitchie I think he is talking about his iPad being damaged by what he did to it and not the way it was shipped.

[@annaokeanova5100]

please help! im stuck between pro 20 (128 gb) and air 20 (256gb) for digital art and design. what to choose?...

[@amehlea3830]

Pro 128! Have you bought one already? :) Top reasons are 1) iPad Air at 256 GB costs almost as same as iPad Pro 128 GB. 2) 128 GB + iCloud storage will be enough for the average consumer :) 3) iPad Pro at this price point is worth getting cause of ProMotion and FaceID etc

[@mrzouz]

Sad to see that even 2 weeks later a review is just a repetition of the same points given by apple to talk about with few slight changes, did you notice that the procreate app you used has a major drawback in layers number , nah not good to mention that. Apple is messed up sending ipads early to reviewers to talk about specific points only and not sending it to major developers as Savage to fix procreate upfront.

[@yuvalcohen7115]

I’m using the iPad Air 1 (2013) i think it’s time for upgrade

[@mrvang8077]

The 4th gen ipad pro 12.9 is the best tab to get. It's so fluid when you navigate.

[@diegomarcelo8742]

Would it be a good idea to buy a 64gb ipad air and buy an external drive? Are those 64 gb enough for apps and updates?

[@LoneStarStinger]

I really want Touch ID back on the iPhone. I really hope they can implement the same biometrics as the iPad on the iPhones. Both options would be cool too, but I prefer to use finger... I dislike having to look that the screen to open jt

[@DavidMacVicar]

Cool vid! How do you put apps in the sidebar widget like in 17:51? I can’t figure this out haha

[@turkialjadani168]

What version of the apple pencil you use?

[@pipaypo4170]

Bought iPad Air 4. I felt sad whenever I see reviews that I should have gotten the iPad pro 2020, but I realized that it is exactly what I need. I have a macbook pro that I use at home, so I bought an iPad so that I can still read and study when I'm at work in my free time. And because of covid, I always wear a facemask, and buying an ipad pro will be counter productive and unsanitary especially if I have to always take off my mask to open it 😂 so yeah, touch ID suits me 😂 and I don't like the ipad 8 because it looks like my old ipad because of the home button 😂

[@injiyoo7962]

You definitely made a good choice. Ipad pro would be a better choice if youre using the ipad as a macbook/laptop replacement. But macbook + ipad air 4 is a good combo!

[@injiyoo7962]

@John Doe that honestly would be so sick! I doubt apple would ever release such feature for iPad though because then people wouldn’t buy their MacBook at all

[@marcodimario9918]

iPadPro 12.9 is still unbeatable (for me)! And 1TB storage is a huge advantage if you do heavy duty tasks.

[@jangee5683]

if i still do my main daily stuff on my laptop, is it okay if I get the 64gb Air?

[@deborah8625]

I think so :) i had the IPad Pro 9.7 with 128gb before for uni and only ever used 20gb. I have the new air 64gb now and it is enough for me. If you take a lot of videos and download a lot of Movies i would say ist isnt enough

[@jenafierro1500]

Directors don’t use 24p but for action shots and wides. Most scenes like a+b, close up, flats are shot at 27.5

[@OblivifrekTV]

I can see the Next iPad Pro having Both Face ID and Touch ID

[@jessicabruno2820]

Why are films playing on the Air with black bars on the left and right?!

[@ReneRitchie]

Because Apple Trailers app, sigh.

[@OTooleRules]

@@ReneRitchie Could you do a video on this? The only reason i am considering any ipad now is for watching films. Are all movies on all ipads shown outside of their best resolution and/or aspect ratio?

[@sealva]

As a person living in a 3rd world country where it doesnt have official apple store so the new stuff always coming late (around 3-6 months late), im struggling to buy these ipad. The only way we could get this ipad air is through black market online store where they bought the item from other countries, and they hijacked the price until its the same price with the ipad pro one (same storage space). People tend to say that we should buy the ipad air because its value for money, but if they are at the same price, what would you choose? Im confuse, should i buy ipad air 4 or ipad pro 2020?

[@Arscell0]

I appreciate your videos so much! Thank you.

[@Blackhawk556.]

How does this compare to the 2nd gen 12.9” iPad Pro? Performance wise.

[@z3romaster]

Awesome review man 👍

[@mlcerrone1]

Rene what does a clumsy person like me do when I need to run a case. Fingerprint Id won’t work right? You’d have to use no lock security yes?
