iPad 10th gen vs iPad Air - An Easy Choice!

After 4 years, the contemporary iPad lineup all looks fairly homogeneous, with the iPad 10th generation (2022), iPad Air (2022) and iPad Pro M2 sporting relatively the same design language, lack of home button and slab/tab look introduced with the 3rd generation iPad Pros back in 2018. This is why now more than ever, it's important to differentiate each model, specifically the iPad 10th gen and iPad Air 4th and 5th generations. In this video I compare the new, "regular" or baseline iPad to the current generation Air and 2020 Air in order to help you decide which variant will give you the best bang for your buck!

i just got the 10 and i love it, i am more of a tech guy so i was worried about stuff like the 2nd gen pencil and the M1 chip in the air but honestly the 10 is amazing

[@harrison00xXx]

Still both are amazing advantages! The M1 is just blazing fast for anything and futureproof enough to enjoy the iPad for 5+ years and the directly charged Pencil might be nice, but i have it mostly at my desk in deep standby mode and 40-80% charge level since i dont need the pencil that often. I know a friend who killed 3 pencils in 2 years. Always left it at the iPad charged (as intended…), always the battery just died and he could not use the pencil longer than 30 minutes without recharging which is a BIG NO GO for a 150€ pencil.

That is a school kid's mistake. Once you start saying, pay extra for the Air, then you are a hypocrite by not saying, then pay a bit extra for the Pro! My suggestion is wait for some discounts on the iPad 10 and get that, especially if you do not use the Pencil or keyboard, which is the majority of core users. If your budget is restricted, get the iPad 9. Also, take care who you are buying this for. If it is for a child, then the non-laminated iPad 9/10 are the essential choices as they cost about $15 to repair a broken screen rather than $150 on the Air. The price confusion is due to the timing of release cycles. When the new iPad Air arrives it will be $700 base and the iPad 10 will be $350. That is when creators will understand what is going on.

Well now - months later, the 10 definitely makes a lot more sense than it did at the time Noah created his usual excellent video. Because - of course - it’s much cheaper now lol! I picked up the iPad 10 on eBay for $340 basically brand new. And since I have other iPads compatible with my first gen pencil my pencil still works perfectly fine here. ( yea that dongle was a terrible and ridiculous idea -but I’m sure it was just Apple being Apple and figuring how to make a few extra bucks!) So far I’m happy with it! The design is sleek and nice - a nice larger version of my mini 6. It’s faster, has a better screen and much better sound than the 9 or even some of my old pros. The cameras are also better than any other iPad I’ve ever owned. And so far it has handled every task,game or app I’ve thrown at it quickly and with no issues. So I have to say - I’m a big iPad guy who has owned a lot of them and I’m really not sure why there is such huge negativity around this model. Pencil 2? Don’t own it - so it’s no issue lol Non laminated screen? I have iPads with both and have never understood why that’s even a big deal. Non laminated screens are perfectly fine with me. The main problem was really the price - and that’s not as much of an issue now that you can usually find it much cheaper. I really think this is a great iPad for most people! ( but definitely do NOT pay $449 for it - lots of sales and deals out there…)

[@harrison00xXx]

Same with the Air 5 At least when you get a good (student?) discount. I paid for the 256GB version about as much as the 64GB version would cost regularily. Its a good deal since i dont buy the overpriced MagicKeyboard and prefer a lot a good old 2011 Apple BT Keyboard with 2xAA batteries and a basic cover/stand. Especially since i use the iPad a lot as Desktop Setup via USB-C hub (including proper mouse, keyboard, monitor,…) and on the go i rarely need a dedicated keyboard its the perfect, yet somewhat affordable solution. I mean its crazy when you realize a iPad Air 5 256GB, Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil 2 cost about 1300€, i paid in total (ESR magnetic cover + Pencil 2) about 800€. Since i have a proper Notebook (16“ M1 Pro Macbook) i cant care less about this MagicKeyboard for the iPad anyways. What i would really wish for any iPad… a magnetic stand/attachment for the iPad to be used as MacBook screen in portrait position, like this the 11“ Air 5 is about as high in screen size as the 16“ MacBook Pro and it would blend in nearly perfectly. In landscape mode it feels just like a tiny secondary screen.

I wish I could get the 10th gen blue on the Air 5... Or blue at all on the Pro, lol. I like colors but don't think just slapping a skin or case on is enough. I ended up buying an Air 4... It's my first iPad since the iPad 1 I had back in like 2012 for half a year. Looking forward to it, if I like it well enough I might make use of Apple's trade in program towards an Air 5. I feel like that M1 chip is going to quickly become a necessity for compatibility with new apps,

I am looking to start saving for an ipad and I wanted to look for a goal. I am now going to start saving for the ipad 10th generation as I think that the screen repair being cheaper is a very important thing, also £170 is a big price gap between them both.

What made you decide get the iPad air? Tbh I'm debating what to get between these two because their so different yet so similar i can't choose between them. Especially i keep seeing ipad air is not worth buying especially for it's price....

[@DATRATMANZ]

@@Eievuy My use of the iPad will consist of 3D design work and taking notes. I really wanted to use the Apple Pencil 2 because of how it is so easy to set up and use. The Ipad air 5th generation also has better hardware. I like this for longevity and I may actually use that with rendering. I knew that I would use this iPad for years to come and I would mainly be taking notes and drawing so I also opted in for the 256GB model for the extra storage. I really just needed 128GB but this iPad does not come in it. Another reason is that I was looking to purchase and iPad SOON and near me the 10th Gen's are hard to find in stores at the moment. I looked online and I could easily order pickup the iPad air 5th generation. I would actually put the iPad 10th gen at the bottom of my list to pick up. Ive seen them in store and I truly hate the air gap. I would put iPads in a ranking like this: iPad 5th Gen iPad 4th Gen iPad 9th Gen iPad 10th Gen Also, I really hated the glare on the 10th Gen. For $100 more, the air gets you an M series processor, much better screen and 2nd gen pen support. No brainer. Or just save the money and get the 9th gen. There are 3rd party pens and keyboards available if needed in future. The price of the 10th gen isn’t the value you get from a bit more from the air. If you are not getting the iPad air 5th gen I would highly recommend the iPad air 4th gen because it has the same chip as the 10th gen and also looks better aesthetically to me. If I was not doing design work on the iPad and just noted or casual browsing I would definitely find an iPad air 4th Gen. Lastly the iPad air 5th generation was on sale for a $100 off and the 10th Gen was not.

The arguments against the ipad is because it didn’t work with the second gen pencil, the glass is not welded on and more screen reflection. Really?

Nope, its because Apple is a hardware maker and likes to sell you _expensive_ things. If you stick to pencil 1 and buy iPad 10 as you can keep using your old pencil - or the Folio keyboard, that also won't fit on Air 5, Apple can be sure that you will come back sooner to replace both the iPad _and_ the Gadget, coz that pencil or keyboard is worn down. Sold you another iPad that you might've kept 10 years otherwise. Google / Android however, will p#ss you of in other ways, like un-smarting Gboard, as to entice folks to just switch to voice input - enabling Google to listen to you snoring in bed, or what else do you do at night. I've had fitting ads popping up right after or even, _into_ a conversation. I prefer paying extra for better hardware, really.

Does the lack of an anti reflective coating make a difference if you’re using a matte screen protector such as paper like?

[@jsl8461]

No.

[@ERSBarcode]

I don’t know why all these KZbin reviews that moan about the Apple Pencil charging issue seem to forget that you can charge the Apple Pencil 1st Gen with your iPhone, not need for adaptors and it charges very quickly so no issue for me.

I didn’t buy l end up buying the iPad Pro but thank you and amazing videos

[@MacSociety]

cool videos. I myself, going to replace a 2013 Nuclear Reactor Mac Pro that has video card issues, and going to try an iPad OS as a desktop replacement, battling over a 11' iPad Pro M2 or a M1 based iPad Air 5. I like the extras the iPad Pro offer but $200 more means I could use that $200 towards a magic keyboard and with money tight, the iPad Air may win. I am still waiting to see final prices of all for Black Friday and then will decide.

[@chi-towncalifornia5916]

M2 Pro owner here. I went with the Pro over the Air because longterm, the better battery life, more efficient M2 chip and ProMotion are a better bet. I recommend getting the better iPad first, then save up and get the accessories later.

[@Victormitc]

What did you choose in the end?

[@MacSociety]

@@Victormitc for me.. iPad Air Gen 5 with 256gb. Loving it so far!

[@Victormitc]

@@MacSociety Great to hear that! Do you recommend taking the one with 256GB or can 64 GB be enough?

[@MacSociety]

@@Victormitc Well, can't say this applies for you, but for me, I heard rumors and mumbles that the extended monitor desktop where it is its own workspace and not just a mirror may not work right on the 64GB model so I went 256GB as I needed and wanted that feature, fully. No idea if 64GB has that issue or not. That is why I splurged for more memory and having more won't hurt, as far as I know. haha

[@whydidntyoucomeforlesson]

I’ve never owned an ipad or pen, and even though I’d like ipad 10th because of my budget, it’s probably better I saved a little more for at least air 4, cause then I need to get the 2nd gen pen. So I won’t have to buy a new one when I upgrade

[@tofu2019]

I have been contemplating in which one to get --- the ipad 10th gen in 256gb or the ipad air 5 in 64gb. My issue with going with the 10th gen is how long will the A14 chip get software updates. On the other hand, my main issue with the air is the storage. I will mostly use it for uni and download movies from netflix or disney, but i feel the storage wont be enough for me. Although, I really like the M1 chip in the air as I am sure that I will be able to use it until I graduate from uni. Maybe a little help? lol

Watching this on my air 4

[@tommyherrick8220]

i just bought the 10th gen yesterday. every review i have watched complained about the pencil and keyboard but i don't use either of those. i upgraded from a 5th gen that was nearly a decade old

[@shanepatrick641]

So that’s definitely an upgrade for you then 🙂

[@tommyherrick8220]

@@shanepatrick641 it sure is! I love it

[@chi-towncalifornia5916]

10/10 times, I'd choose an Air 4 over the 10th gen, and here is why: Accessory support. If you buy the Apple Pencil 1 and the proprietary Magic Keyboard folio for the 10, and decide to get an Air or a Pro later, then you'll have to sell those, lose money and buy a Pencil 2 and Magic Keyboard. If you buy an Air 4 and decide to get an Air 5 or Pro later, you can reuse both accessories. Besides, you can find discounts on the Pencil 2 if you wait, and there are plenty of deals to be had for the Magic Keyboard.

[@jmbosquesillo7203]

The Air 4 is a discontinued device. It has almost no trade in value now being over 2 yrs old. Even if you find it new, the battery has depreciated. I wouldn’t suggest purchasing one unless you cannot afford the 5 and are in the market for an Air.

Manifesting iPad 10th gen for my 22nd birthday 🙏🏼

[@ilikeaviation10]

I think that apple could do so much better with the apple pencil compatibiliy with the 10th gen. Some android tablets have a horizontal camera and a pen that magnetically attaches to the top as well.

[@jmbosquesillo7203]

The 10 is the update for 9 users. They don’t have to buy new Pencils. Also think of the schools, better display, no new Pencil purchase, lighter weight, far less charging port issues, and no expensive glass repair costs. We’re talking 7-12 yr olds who use the 9 & now 10. Also, Seniors. Problem with too many reviewers is they only think of themselves and forget the varied mass of target users for the different devices. If you are comparing a new Base model to a mid tier model, that says the Base model is the better purchase for basic Tablet needs.

Where do you get the wallpapers?

[@youngrenegade8348]

It’s not an easy choice sometimes, in my country (Iran) these two iPads have a very significant difference in their prices due to currencies. So if someone wants a big ipad, between these two the 10th gen makes more sense to pick due to price

[@trelien6829]

same here in turkey. i wanted an ipad air but the price difference were drastic. so i got an 10th gen and i am kind of bitter about not getting an air but 10th gen gets the job done😅

Hi I'm thinking about buying an ipad 10 for downloading app games. It would be for light gaming. Will the 64 gb be enough memory for my needs or should I opt for the 256 version? Don't want to spend more money for more memory if it's not needed. Also about how many game apps can the 64 gb version store? Thank you

[@lady_fra-fra]

If u wanna play big games then get more storage, but if ur gonna play like those idle games then 64 is fine. If you are thinking of playing genshin and stuff then 128 or bigger storage I would recommend

[@rkla887]

With the pencil on the 10th gen, does the cable always have to be connected to the iPad? Can I just sync it up once and then plug the cable into a wall adapter to charge?

[@tymekmiluniec7639]

I Use Apple Pencil 1gen and bought an adapter only to connect it to the iPad, for now I’m charging my pencil with adapter that is included with it, so you can sync it once and then charge it with your regular lightning cable, also you use the cable only for charging not when you’re using pencil

I just did "snag" an iPad Air 4, new, open-box with 256 GB of storage on eBay for $522 with tax & shipping. It hasn't arrived yet. I have never used an Apple product, so I wish I could find a video on making a transition from a Windows Pc or an Android tablet.

[@notrich99]

what wallpaper do you use

[@Newvintagecollectibles]

Ya but how long will they support those old models. One reason I go with the latest version is because the apps become outdated and you can’t use on old iPads

[@sfgrgfsf212]

That's not relevant here. The older iPad Airs have an equal to (4th gen) or newer (5th gen) processor than the newest 10th gen iPad.

[@amor2874]

I have a 6th generation iPad I am now just replacing… the only reason I’m replacing it is because my browser isn’t the best using it. These things do last for quite some time despite the processors getting faster.

If you want an ipad air based on this video, what you really want and should buy is an ipad pro 11 2018 or 2020. Not really a whole lot more money but a lot better than the air.
