M2 iPad Air 11" (2024) Unboxing and First Review!

[@jacobbio]

Apple is smart, they knew their iPad size names were going to be 11 and 13 inch, but decided to start with 10.9 and 12.9 to make it feel like they got larger by bumping the number up a decimal

[@f.r0lick]

some reviewers took their time to measure or/and check the technical drawings, it grew by 0.1 inch, so the stated sizes are still marketing, but not lies or round-ups.

[@kostistau]

Super happy I went with the new 11 inch air! I used to have the 12.9 M1 Pro and I remember trying to justify owning it… The smaller one is perfect for everything and can be used as a tablet on the couch

[@FishBeeProductions]

nice!

[@itsdtxjd]

Yup, I purchase the M2 iPad Pro 12.9” at launch and man I hated it, not only because it’s heavy but the screen is just to big to use it comfortably as a table it’s like you even have to make bigger swiping motion with your founders to navigate the screen lol that’s why I have it to my mom and got an iPad mini and now it’s the new iPad it 11” and one I am in love! It’s the perfect size! So I use my mini for work and when I’m out and about and my 11” for home! ❤️

[@Minnieme690]

[@m.hreels9822]

Yeah, I'm thinking about getting the 11-inch iPad Air as a budget option compared to the Pros. I'm a video editor, and I was testing out Final Cut on there. I will say, the larger 13-inch size is a little bit better for screen real estate, but I think you can still use it on the 11-inch. 😃👍🏻

[@amoorxd5432]

Please don't buy the new air get the old one for much cheaper and these is absloutly no differency unless you really need the pencil pro

[@m.hreels9822]

​@@amoorxd5432nah but thank you though I don't have an iPad so I wanted to get the air. The pro is too expensive.

[@sarphar]

​@@amoorxd5432these are my reasons to go with the new air; - speaker replacement- the old air had speakers at the bottom, so when I did handheld gameplay I was covering the speakers. Now, the speakers are at the top so I'm not covering them while gaming. - New M2 - Pencil pro - better design - upgraded storage choices it's just overall the better air

[@Dark_night_comes]

@@amoorxd5432 disagreed most people use iPad horizontally and the camera. This time is on the horizontal side which is a big plus side along with Apple Pencil pro M2 chip it is a great choice

[@stevee1989]

Check air 5th gen or even an M1 Pro refurbished, very similar prices

Just bought the 11inch iPad Air over the 13inch and it's still kinda big for me. So happy I didn't get the 13inch because I was temped to get it. I had the iPad mini it was nice and portable but I needed something with a little bit of a bigger screen cause I like to stream a lot of content but still portable as I travel with my iPad a lot. The 11inch Air gets the job done!

[@markca8937]

Everything is Ok for the Air but Apple… why not putting smaller bezels now..???

[@CurtMortis]

I was using an ipad air 4 64 gb and upgraded mainly because of the storage space. I went with the ipad air 6th gen 11 inch, 256 GB

[@avirazian]

Please compare this to iPad 10 generation. It will drastically help my buying decision.

Incredible review. Thanks

[@MatthewDaly-y5q]

Great review thank you. I was going to upgrade from the ipad mini 6 to the new mini 7, however the spec bump is not enough. Following your review I am going to upgrade to the 11inch M2 😃

[@dominikamimari427]

I think as an artist this will be a nice upgrade for my artwork, that's really my main reason why I want to buy the new iPad in the first place, but I think the air be best because if I buy the pro it's going to be a little more pricey but as long the storage and frame is enough I'm good 👍

[@m.hreels9822]

Great, honest review! ❤ Yeah, I just got back from the Apple store yesterday and saw them in person. Everyone says the OLED display is so noticeable, but I completely forgot about it when I was there and couldn't tell a difference, honestly. Not saying they aren't great displays, but for me, the fact that I just remembered the new Pros have OLED and it didn't stand out enough for me to remember while I was there says something. I would say the size and thinness are way more noticeable. But yeah, for me, I completely forgot about the new OLED displays 😂 on the Pros. Also, the Apple Pencil Pro wasn't that impressive, and I had a hard time activating the new touch features on the pencil body.

[@michaelm6072]

I really like the style and pace of your objective, hands-on review. Well done. 👍

[@zx_fra]

honestly i think that the IPad 10th gen is a better option (11 inch one, not the 13 inch) because, if you want to do MORE than a regular IPad you should just straight up get the Pro, i don’t understand why you need to pay so much more just for the support of the 2nd gen pen and a SLIGHTLY faster processor, as i said, if you need serious performances just get the IPad pro, otherwise the IPad 10th gen can do literally everything the IPad Air can with super performances.

[@pheapkim978]

The only downside of the 10th gen is none laminated screen witch I hate the feeling when using it

Great common sense review. Another option to consider is an iPad Pro 11 M2 2022 version. You can get those at the same price as the iPad Air. That gives you the benefits of most pro features. Then again you won’t get the camera in the horizontal position. I am spoiled and do notice a bit of lagging on the 60hz display. Sound is good, but not as good as pro. Just food for thought. You cannot go wrong with the air. I have been having some touch issues on my M2 air. Could be an issue with just the one I have. Thanks for the review.
