iPad Pro vs iPad Air! (2024)

[@lazyteima]

Wait so apple pencil doesnt work on the air?

[@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.

[@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 🙂

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

@@JoshuaChang That is exactly what makes the Pro, the Pro. Yep, you nailed it!

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 😊

[@preayus]

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

[@yams900]

Good one thanks ! My iPad Pro 12.9" 1st gen lasted until a couple a day ago, since it was released back in 2017 :) iPad Air might be good enough for me, it's mainly for my music scores, although I do enjoy drawing in Procreate and music in Cubasis.

[@eliherzer3078]

same i got the bigger screen just so i can see my music better

[@johnvalk]

My 2015 iPad Pro 12.9” still works, mainly use it after my retirement for reading newspapers and Forscore with 2600 music scores and accompaniment mp3 files stored

[@dazauto107]

In the Black Friday sales, I bought my wife a new iPad for Christmas. I decided to get the Pro for the extra storage, face ID, better sound and better display. Due to the cost, I wasn't sure it was the right decision. However, after watching your video, I think I made the correct choice. Thank you.

[@АтА-н9д]

My previous iPad AIR worked for me for 10 years!!! And it's still working. I changed it only for the sake of the big screen on the IPAD PRO 13. Considering that the device can last 10 years, you need to buy the best IPAD PRO.

[@Alocin42180]

Thank you for this review. I’ve been watching a couple of them and they confuse me more than help me out, but yours is precise and clear! I’m homeschooling my son (12 years old) and he has a scholarship that covers electronic devices, so we’re gonna go with the air because he doesn’t need anything super technologically advanced until high school :)

[@Salemaze]

Im looking for a large screen IPad primarily for Zooming and FaceTime sessions . Which would you suggest ?

[@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.

[@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 👌🏽

[@debisimpson5335]

Thank you for this excellent video. For my needs the Ipad Air is fine. However, with exhaustive research the 2018 Ipad 12.1 3rd gen is still considered one of the best. I had one but it was unfortunately destroyed. So - do I get the new Ipad Air 13 or get the renewed 2018 Ipad Pro 3rd edition (for about $450). Of course new seems better but does it apply in this situation. There is no sophisticated use other than searching the web, streaming movies and games.

[@namixless]

the graphic designer in me loves the pro color display but im smart enough to understand that if i have pin point color precision on my end it wont translate the same to printing or other displays. if youre in animation or graphic design just go with the air the pro isn’t worth it

I would imagine that the pencil lag on the Air would be a pain.

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]
