Which iPad should you buy? (Buying Guide)

[@thedominatingteacher]

My iPad Mini 6 is perfect for on-the-go, my 11-inch iPad Pro (2023) is my everyday workhorse, and my 12.9-inch iPad Pro (2024) is a powerhouse. I love them all!"

[@TechWithRellz]

That sounds like a dream setup! I can’t wait to add another iPad to my collection!

I think you have a great channel, I believe more people could hear you if the music was softer I'm following along with the transcripts. God bless you and thank you so much for this content! I find it to be very helpful!

[@TechWithRellz]

Thanks for the feedback!

I’m looking to upgrade my iPad 6th gen and at a 63 year old casual user the only reason I’d change this iPad to a newer one is that as apps get heavier an older device gets slower. Also the OS gets more demanding as it upgrades and after 5 years of usage the battery is draining a little fast. In order to future proof and get the benefits of apple intelligence I will probably look at the iPad Air 11 inch. 128GB is fine. You can always pay for cloud storage or buy an external SSD if you really need it.

[@TechWithRellz]

I think that will be an excellent choice for an upgrade!

[@wendy-annlewis2347]

I agree with you when you stated that the regular iPad is for kids. I plan on buying my soon to be 5 years old daughter an iPad. But I am undecided if I should I get her the regular iPad or the iPad mini.

[@TechWithRellz]

I think you can’t go wrong with either choice. If it’s a device that won’t be used for portability, I would go with the bigger screen. It maybe better for media consumption etc.

Rocking the m1 iPad Pro, in my opinion, the iPad is great for a note taking and gaming and occasional keyboard work, however when it comes to using an iPad Pro as your main computer, it is not worth it as Microsoft apps which I mainly use which are very limited in features compared to other and cheaper windows and macs, however it is a great revision tool, Netflix device and gaming device!

[@TechWithRellz]

@@TheAppleGuy. couldn’t agree you more, I still love my M1 iPad for what it is and with the addition of my MacBook Pro M4, I feel as if I have the perfect combination. Now I just want a companion device like the mini to complete things on the go.

[@TheAppleGuy.]

Yep my m4 Mac and m1 iPad work really well together, I can control my Mac from my iPad keyboard, I’m slowly downgrading my iPad to just making it a notepad, gaming and Netflix machine, the m4 MacBook Pro can just do so much more than the iPad.

[@TechWithRellz]

@@TheAppleGuy. yes I think in a fantasy world my dream would be to have a iPad mini pro (if that ever comes out) as my entertainment device while the Mac handles my major workload and my iPad Pro becomes a planner

[@FlyTy1]

Hey Rellz!! Great video I needed this and it helped me purchase a replacement ipad for my son. Looking forward to more vids and checking the previous vids also!!

[@TechWithRellz]

Thanks so much! Glad I was able to help. Hope to have your continued support!

[@piewhackit2me]

Just received my new IPad Air 11 cellular 1TB storage and so far I’m loving it and option of being able to use anywhere theres a signal

[@TechWithRellz]

That’s a great pickup! That device should serve you for quite sometime and is power packed! Congrats

[@keithclark1504]

Nice video. I’m 46 and pursuing a Masters degree in a few months. I don’t currently have an iPad but I’m looking for one that is around 11 inches, do take notes and read text books on. I will also watch virtual lectures as well. I’m looking into either the iPad Air or iPad Pro. And I’m wondering if you would recommend a refurbished M1 or M2 iPad Pro over a new Air. . Thanks.

[@TechWithRellz]

The new IPad Air comes with the M2 chip. I would recommend that over a used pro in my opinion!

[@GiovannaBizzotto]

hiii I’m a beginner (not for long) photographer and filmmaker and I’m also going to play around with illustration/procreate.. I’m in between the iPad 10 and the air 6, which one would you recommend? im not 100% sold on the iPad Air bc a lot of people say it gets really really really hot while using it even for light apps, but it’s not the case for everyone.. also thank you so much for your video!!

[@TechWithRellz]

@@GiovannaBizzotto thanks for checking out the video! I would honestly say that the best bet would be the IPad Air for creativity purposes . You’ll have a bigger canvas to work on. Plus the specs are a little better on the air than the Ipad 10.

[@Jit-np5wl]

Ipad pro way too expensive. Thanks for the video

[@TechWithRellz]

I can agree that the price is a bit steep. Almost close to MacBook Air levels for sure!

[@BenMueller-ct4by]

Apple petty. All I need is a basic iPad but 64 GB scares me because my phone already has 55. If I sync I’ll be in trouble. 256 is too much and then it’s only 100 bucks or so from the air as a difference but I don’t need an air but I need 128 GB lol

[@TechWithRellz]

The iPad mini has 128gbs if that’s something you’re interested in as well.

[@kentao4]

I went from my gen 3 pro I bought in 21 to this new m4 version. Went with 512 over 256 because I’m just afraid I’ll need the space for as long as I normally keep them. I was forced to upgrade because I noticed Lightroom starting to struggle and the battery was starting to die quickly!

[@TechWithRellz]

How do you like the upgrade do you notice the difference in performance?

[@kentao4]

@ ​​⁠haven’t opened it yet. Kinda feel like I should be considering going back to 256 lol. $200 difference isn’t too bad though over time. Just not sure it’s necessary.

[@TechWithRellz]

@ 256 is my sweet spot. I would say try to access what you need the iPad for and if 256 can handle all of your needs. If you feel like you need more keep the 512

[@kentao4]

@ I had 256 on my last and used about 160. I do need to be better about offloading things like messages and videos and old edits etc. Since I’m trading in, am getting a 415 dollar credit. So basically 784 vs 584. And then quietly thinking about going 13 inch. I’ve always been against it although my job gave us a 13 in pro. It can make my 11 in seem small. I don’t know what to do lol.

[@TechWithRellz]

So maybe a 13in 256 with a larger iCloud storage would work.

[@adityshreshtha6734]

As a student, I am thinking of getting an iPad Pro M4 for my university and assignment work. Will it be a good choice?

[@TechWithRellz]

@@adityshreshtha6734 based on the ability to multitask and handle different apps is the a great choice. I would then ask you if you currently have a laptop also. I think if you do then absolutely. But if you don’t you should also consider the MacBook Air. Similar in price and can probably handle more things than the iPad. This is all based on what your needs are for a student. But as for me, I did my entire grad school on a M1 iPad.

[@EmmanuelOlusanya-p7m]

I am an illustrator i want to get my first ipad thinking of buy a used ipad air 2022 do you think it can give all i want?

[@TechWithRellz]

I would always go with a new device to maximize an iPads full potential. If not maybe a used pro model will be a good choice as well.

[@EmmanuelOlusanya-p7m]

So you are advising that I get a new ipad air 2022 and if not I should opt for a used pro model?

[@EmmanuelOlusanya-p7m]

All this decision too are functions of the cost ,what do you think about a used ipad pro 2020

[@TechWithRellz]

@ 2020s are still good devices that are elite for the recent upgrades. I would say at least a 2021 do that up hand the M1 chip

[@EmmanuelOlusanya-p7m]

@@TechWithRellz thanks for your audience

[@LFY_OFFICAL]

Should I buy iPad Air or iPad 10

[@TechWithRellz]

@@LFY_OFFICAL the iPad Air is the better choice if you have a little bit more money to spend in my opinion.

[@LFY_OFFICAL]

@ mm

[@LFY_OFFICAL]

@ 128 gb or 256 gb

[@LFY_OFFICAL]

@ because if I buy a iPad 10 it’s like $500 for 256 gb but if I buy iPad Air it would be $600 for 128gb and $700 for 256 gb

[@TechWithRellz]

@ 256 is always my sweet spot

[@charlesrankin-h8b]

I am 82 years old. I want to know which iPad do I need if all I'm going to use it for is when I fly, listen to jazz and when I fly stay at hotel.

[@TechWithRellz]

@@charlesrankin-h8b Hey! I would consider getting either the standard iPad or iPad mini. They will both suit your needs with the iPad mini being a little more portable for your travel. Either choice is fine and budget friendly!

[@wandersonfreitasfilho5122]

I just want a iPad to take notes and I am upgrading from a really old model iPad mini 1st gen because it’s lagging a lot and must apps aren’t compatible with it anymore. So which model should I get?

[@TechWithRellz]

If you’re willing to spend a bit more than $600 I would recommend the IPad Air. It’s compatible will the new pencil pro and magic keyboards. Plus it’s not too far off from the power of a iPad Pro. That would be a great device for you for taking notes.

[@wandersonfreitasfilho5122]

@ thanks man

[@TechWithRellz]

@ no problem!
