M2 iPad Air VS iPad - DON'T BE FOOLED!

The new iPad Air looks to be a great value with its powerful M2 chip, and cheaper larger screened 12.9 inch sized option, however, it still can't beat the unbeatable value of Apple's regular iPad which is only $350! But just because this iPad is a great value, doesn't mean it for everyone...

[@waqarhaider2226]

$350 for iPad 10 gets you 64GB, which just isn't enough. Getting the 256GB version costs $500, and at that point, you're much better spending the extra $100 and getting the iPad Air with M2, Apple Pencil Pro, laminated screen, etc.

I agree, except for students or if you don't do much. 64 is definitely not enough for a lot of stuff, but if you're exclusively taking notes and viewing lectures, and surfing chrome, 64 will do you fine. Coming from someone who will fill 2TBs os storage easilly with engineering files and programming projects, but can manage wiht the 64gigs on the iPad 9th gen since launch. Now admittedly, I hate that it is so low, but it wouldn't be the thing that makes me jump to the next tier, ya know?

@@lnugent1000 I don't think Apple tries to be dishonest, but sometimes you have to look past their marketing and see what they're actually saying/not saying. In this case they've chosen to market the iPad Air as 11" (probably for clarity/simplicity) but had already been marketing the base iPad as 10.9" so decided to continue doing that as to not cause confusion.

I bought my iPad 10th gen just last March and I use it as my main computer. After constant deliberation between an iPad Air M1, I’ve settled for the iPad 10 only because: 1. My work entails a lot of note-taking, creating presentations, brainstorming, and writing. 2. I don’t find a use case to use Stage Manager on the iPad for now since I mostly open 2-3 apps in which slideover is still sufficient. 3. I have to admit, I really love docking laptops. This is the hardest one. I really want to dock my iPad and use it with an external monitor. Again, I have to remind myself that my work also involves a lot of travel in which I rarely sit on my desk at home. Love the iPad 10. No regrets on my decision but it is quite a unique niche.

[@jasonm7121]

I personally ordered the iPad Air w/M2, 128gb cellular. Yes they dropped the price on the iPad. But for me, I’m taking into consideration that it’s an A14 chip, which will be great for awhile, but then when the device gets to a point to where it won’t take updates because of the outdated chip and storage, and then it will be only a matter of time before Apple puts it on the end-of-life list because they will make software updates for it, it just won’t be the same ones that every other updated iPad with an M-series chip gets. Still a worthy iPad to get for new 1st time iPad owners and for people who are on a budget or a startup business who don’t want the mini, (or business in general), even for schools, that this iPad is catered for. Bottom line is, whatever YOUR needs are for, as they say.. “There is an iPad for everyone”! Happy shopping everyone.👍🏼

One thing few people say about iPad Air 13 and Pro 12.9 is the screen proportion. Since it is more squared-shape when you watch KZbin videos you lose a lot of screen area forcing it to be empty on the top and at the bottom. I have both of these iPads here and the video size is not that different. So you think you are buying a larger screen but it is almost the same. It is hard to defend the new iPad Air: no promotion, no support to the new Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro, uses M2 instead of M3, it is heavier. The main problem with the regular iPad is operating system support; at this point you already lost almost half of its upgradability

Heck, even my basic 2020 iPad can do a good deal of music production. Lots of synths, samplers, effects, etc. So too could/does my basic 2018 iPad to this day. Save your money unless such things are your full time career.

Best Buy sold iPad Air M1 for $399 on Sunday. And I missed it.

[@alluringming]

Was on the ball which to get him but i got him the 10th generation and he happy about it. I am curious what the new ipad 11 generation will be like when it comes out.

[@KhyronW]

Is the refresh rate the same on the both models? (120 hz)

[@GregsGadgets]

Refresh rate is 60hz on both models, you need a Pro for 120hz.

[@KhyronW]

@@GregsGadgets gotcha, thanks

Hi. I'm wondering about how long the older model will receive updates? I'm a view the web, do some banking. I have a mini 4 5hat I can't even read the net app on anymore. I can't afford to buy a new one that often. Any thoughts?

[@heartlanddreamer95]

I’m using a 2018 iPad (6th generation) and it still works and receivers updates. I believe an iPad receives 6 years of updates (similarly to an iPhone)

Can’t wait for the M1 vs M2 iPad.

[@wl8109]

thanks man

I don’t understand paying so much for extra storage. I use cloud storage for damn near everything. Additionally, unless you’re using it as your main device, the 13” is overkill. If I need more screen real estate I use my PC or laptop. I like the portability of the 11”. If anyone is looking for a case for M2 Air 11” (also fits the Air 4th and 5th Gen)check out the Torras Ostand Case. Great protection and adds minimal bulk and almost undetectable weight. The case literally weighs 9.2 ounces. Pricey buy well worth it. The dual kickstand is sweet. Best case by far.

Logic is supported on the iPad 10th gen, just not Final Cut

[@GregsGadgets]

Oh wow you’re right, big mistake on my end. Sorry about that!

[@gustavopolanco6925]

Ipads are meant to be used for simple tasks, email, searching the web, youtube videos, doing simple sketches, editing photos, and not even videos. Anything more demanding use a laptop. I have an ipad pro (previous model)11 inches and a 9th gen ipad 10.2 (2021) both work well with no issues. Difference is: better speed smoother transitions, screen quality and pro motion 120hz none of them justify the price difference for doing basic stuff.

[@Sacto1654]

I plan to get the iPad Air 12.9" 512 GB version. Reason: I have a lot of ebooks and music I'd like to store on the device locally.

[@camilleoreilly7063]

I wish we had better more vibrant color options for the air models

[@jmp622]

Why?
