[@jeysmoothies]

Solid video, very detailed and the pacing and music is the cherry on top 😎keep up the good work

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

Funny it was not the display which got me to go Pro. It was the accumulation of Face ID, 120 Promotion, better camera for document scanning, way better keyboard with function row keys, track pad that actually works consistently and the noticeable weight difference.

[@JoshuaChang]

Maybe all those little things add up after all 🙂

For me it is only worth for the speakers, I cannot even imagine using other models since the original iPad Pro the speakers make the biggest difference in user experience. I love my new m4 iPad now 😊

[@manavsolanki8955]

Good detail information 👏🏻. Saw lot of others comparison videos but was not able to make the decision, but your video just cleared my mindset to get ipad pro

[@dyloak6450]

I'm confused what makes the air an air. Usually there's an iPad, iPad Air, and iPad Pro. The defining feature of the air being that it is lighter and thinner than all models.

[@Michael-ur5qb]

This happened with Macbooks at a certain point. Air just means their value line at this point. Maybe one day Apple will flip it once technology allows but I think a lot of it is determined by the screen. Cause the new panel I believe is much thinner.

[@dyloak6450]

@@Michael-ur5qb I just went on the website and the short description given was “Serious performance in a thin and light design.” Even though it’s thicker and heavier than the pro and obvi heavier than the 10th gen….

[@yippiecalle421]

I feel like the normal iPad will become the SE model and the current airs will become the new iPad. This will make pricing for mini make more sense. Since it’s more than SE but little less than new iPad (air)

[@doyoungkim8436]

The air is the perfect choice for me ig because pro is so expensive, the ipad lacks features, the mini is a bit expensive but too small for me 😭🤣

[@KiLLJOY1056]

It's just a cheaper version now. The 13 air is like the iPhone plus. Skip the air 11 and get the ipad 10th Gen.

[@preayus]

really good comparison and final conclusion. something i feel is lacking in most reviewers video these days

[@abbaming2406]

Thank you for the breakdown of differences and which is useful for which purpose. You were concise, shared practical points and untangled a lot of the technical jargon I came across raving the latest and greatest. I walked away with a better understanding of the two. Thank you!

[@TheLifeOnHigh]

After using my 2018 iPad Pro for years I now realize I rarely used any of the “pro capabilities.” I did use my Pencil frequently so it sucks that I can no longer use it on the newer models. But alas, it’s time for a new one and the iPad Air 13inch seems to be the right fit for me. Thanks for this informative video 👌🏽

[@Zangetzu33]

same boat like you and got the air 13inch. very happy

[@Anu_was_here]

Sooooo… which one did you buy?

[@aniket9291]

Just one quick correction, the bigger sensor is the LiDAR sensor and not the smaller one. 1:28

[@tigger55100]

You did a great job explaining the differences and similarities of the IPad Pro and Air. My old IPad Pro has four speakers, touch button at the bottom, which I prefer. I just want the touch button and good sound quality. What is your suggestion? I am leaning to the 11 inch, the 13 is too big.

[@gepal7914]

The most noticeable difference for me is how shockingly light the Pro is, with or without the keyboard. The Pro has a better screen, sound, is more powerful and will be viable with iPadOS for much longer. If you, like me, keep your iPads for 5-10 years, the difference in price is trivial. Unless you are dead broke, you should always get the Pro model. And you should get the minimum of 1TB as you get more RAM with it.

[@SpaceDad42]

You are a sucker. They saw you coming a mile away.

[@daydreameraj9777]

How do you keep your iPad alive for 10yrs? Serious question. My iPad dies around 4-5 yrs. My only iPad that lasted more than 5yrs is iPad 2th generation.

[@Chaya_cyn]

@@daydreameraj9777 I have an older iPad Pro, almost 6 years if I’m not mistaken, and it’s still going strong. Had some minor issues, like Face ID not working for a few months, but everything somehow fixed itself sooner or later.

[@sc00zy]

Nice video! Just received my iPad air 11 2024 and came from a iPad 6e generation its a huge different and can go on another 5 years again :)

[@javiercollell]

For a pilot which one is better, considering the bright cockpit environment

[@rahalrodrigo5430]

I feel like the M4 ipad pro oled would be better since its panel is can output 1000 nits of brightness for SDR content and 1600 nits for HDR content. The ipad air gets 'only' 600 nits of brightness for the 13inch model. You may benefit from getting the M4 pro with thr nano textured screen if you feel like brigtness will be an issue.

[@thIndia]

Ipad mini?

[@Nervegas]

I've been using the 11" m2 air to run foreflight w/sentry, I fly in the desert and am very happy with it, its plenty bright enough to be a kneeboard or up on the yoke. I know a lot of folks flying around with the mini as well.

Great video per usual! Just wanted to note that the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil isn't actually compatible with the new 2024 iPads :/

[@cindylmorales]

WOW! Now THAT’S what I call a great summation! Impressive, Joshua! I’m replacing my iPad Pro 12.9” 4th Generation (YES - it’s THAT old!) with the iPad Pro 13”. My current iPad has 512 GB capacity, and since I never got close to reaching its limit, I’m sticking with the 512 again. Again, thanks for the fab video!!

[@nwmusic2010]

I got the M2 iPad Air 13” instead of the pro. It does everything that I need as a musician. It’s definitely a good value. I can’t justify paying $500 more just for a better screen and 120hz refresh rate.

[@muminaq9485]

tbh 120hz oled is pretty justifiable if its gonna last you years

[@nwmusic2010]

@ so is the Air 🤷‍♂️ and I don’t use it for anything that would need a fast refresh rate

0:00 what a beat

[@j.swwervo4586]

iPad Air being $600 and not having a good enough display is ridiculous I understand you are getting a M2 Chip but they could of added a slightly brighter screen with a bit more contrast for LCD screen to make it more better with watching videos and reducing glare

[@georgewright937]

why is thinner better, do most people want this? I feel most people have cases on them anyway, add on a mil or two, make it stronger and cooler?

I returned my 13 inch for the 11. 13 is better for multitasking (I’m an engineering student and I think it will be helpful for taking notes while opening a reading materials) but it’s too big and less convenient to bring around compared to the 11 inch.

just came to say that speed wise, u can definitely tell a difference between air and pro. i had the air for school but even when using just notability, i noticed it lags a lot when i have multiple tabs open. id have to refresh the app multiple times a day, which gets really annoying when youre already stressed out about studying. the scrolling is also so much better due to the 120hz. minor stuff but it’s something to consider if youre super picky.

I’m still having trouble deciding which to get I already have an m2 MacBook Air to do all my typing work so I really just need an iPad to use as an iPad, so I’m really having trouble deciding between getting the m4 iPad Pro with just the pencil pro, or the m2 air with the pencil and keyboard

I am glad to get iPad Air 13’ :-) I had iPad many years ago, one of the old ones now, but recently decided to buy a new for work purposes. Also it’s great for content consumption while doing things. I think for majority of population iPad Air is a better option without spending too much on Pro. But still, a good amount of money for a great quality. The difference in display is barely noticeable anyway for a human eye.

Great video! But Im still on the edge and not 100% sure hoping that someone in the comments or yourself could add more guidance? I'm looking at upgrade my current Ipad for the M chip. Now, I've gotten into very novice video editing for Instagram and I'd like to be able to edit videos from my Insta 360 while I'm traveling. I can fully understand that the Pro would most likely do a better job, but will the air and it's M2 still be good? Or is it worth it that much more to get the Pro? I don't plan on doing any professional editing, this is very much a hobby and for fun on IG when riding my motorcycle and taking videos. Which is why I'm unsure. Since i'm not going professional, I'm wondering if the Air will do just fine which would allow me to get the magic keyboard aswell... Anybody have any advice?

I just got my iPad 11 inch for drawing And if u have any tips for which free drawing app should I get?

[@angyi7310]

Medibang paint and ibis paint. Ive been using these for 4+ years and in my opinion those two are the best free ones out there. They also both have a cloud saving function and can be used on desktops or phones so u can continue drawing on another device. Ur files also wont be lost if something unexpected happens :). Medibang is more like clip studio or photoshop while ibispaint is more similar to procreate. There are also a lot of amazing custom brushes on the internet for ibispaint for literally everything. But ofc if u have some spare cash i would recommend investing in procreate as it really is the best drawing app for the ipad. I hope this helped :)

Maybe look for a refurbished one when i need one. The new ipad pros just aren’t worth it for the average consumer who consume content rather than make it. The only great things about them are the light weight and the screen refresh rates. AI - meh. Not worth dropping a K on one.
