Yea I agree but you can still use the bigger iPads like an iPad tho. In fact, I think most people don't pay for the expensive accessories that turns them into laptops, they just get a decent case and Apple Pencil and that's it. All of my friends just use their iPads as an iPad, like playing video games, listening to music, social media and stuff...

Honestly, the iPad 9 is also the last true iPad.

It still holds to the original iPads ideas, but it’s also very outdated compared to the rest of the lineup. That’s why I usually don’t count it.

Sorry, you’re just objectively wrong about this. Everything you listed as making the iPad close to a notebook is _optional_ on the iPad Air, except for the powerful processor, which we don’t seem to be paying too much of a premium for vs. the Mini; that $100 gets you a bigger screen and more storage. You may prefer the Mini’s size and portability, but that’s a choice for you; it doesn’t make the Air less of an iPad. If one wants to turn it into an almost notebook computer, one can, but that is _optional._

"objective" isn't the right word. This video is my opinion and this comment is your opinion. Nothing objective about it. Subjective opinions on both sides. However, I don't agree with your assessment because the devices having these "options" is what makes them more than what the original iPad was intended to be. The 11inch iPad Pro's accessories are also optional, but I still think it, the Air, and the standard iPad depart from the original iPad's goal. Be a device that sits squarely between the iPhone and the Mac. The standard, air, and pro all lean closer to a Mac.

@@GarrettCrespo - Yes, objectively is the right word. Your opinion is relevant where there are non-optional differences (only size and standard storage; the price difference reflects this), which I acknowledged. Anyone can opt out of all of the other differences you listed, so they can make the Air just as true to the original as the Mini. The Pro is $200-400 more than the Air (M2-M4), all for things that are irrelevant to the original iPad idea.

@@GarrettCrespo - By the way, I’m not trying to pick a fight here. I don’t watch a lot of your content, but there have been several that were very informative and/or a very interesting perspective. I’m commenting because I think you dropped the ball here. I understand you prefer the Mini (so do I), but I completely disagree with the characterization of optional features determining an object’s objective. Options allow us to direct the objective for ourselves.

No it isn't the right word because you're literally arguing opinions. But to further elaborate, the mini allows you to buy it, intend to use it like the original iPad, and not waste hardly any potential for its price. I pay $500 and get nearly $500 worth of use every time I use it. If I don't buy the pencil, I can still draw on it with my finger. Hardly any waste. I pay $600 for an Air with the M2 and use it like an original iPad was meant to be used and I use a fraction of what it can do. I cant use stage manager, lots of pro apps become way harder to use, and on and on. Not to mention that adding this potential and these features opens the door for pro's and people looking for laptop alternatives to complain that the iPad's are a waste because they arent laptops. Like I said, the mini doesn't invite those complaints because it's much more focused and wastes almost NO potential when you use it without it's accessories.

That's fair. I stand by the fact that we're arguing opinions. But I happily invite discussion. (thought it's 2am for me... so I might have typed a bit punchier than intended). I just feel like we need to consider purpose, potential, options, and intention when looking at how these devices will be received and used by the public. And I feel like people who want an original iPad experience will gravitate towards the mini like I did because of its focused nature and lack of potential "optional" clutter. (Not clutter for some, but for others possibly.) That's my point.
