I got my new iPad Air 2024 13 inch. My old one was the iPad Air 5. Performance wise, I don’t see much changes but I love the larger screen! I use my iPads all the time. It’s excellent for video watching and web surfing. I love these devices. Very happy customer

[@yigitali]

It’s wild how Apple expects us to be impressed with the same old features in 2024. A fingerprint reader and a 60 Hz screen? Seriously? My 2018 iPad Pro feels more advanced. Upgrading to the 13” M4 was the only logical choice, given the circumstances.

First time having a pro iPad. I usually get the air for the pretty colors. I can say the diff I’m seeing is my screen and how fast it moves. I don’t upgrade my iPads often so I’ll have this one for the next 3/4 years lol.

[@rupakmajumdar9959]

Have a 13" iPad Air. The pro models are a lot thinner than the airs, making the airs seem thick when held next to one another so I would say it is pretty impressive with how thin the pro models are. I was upgrading from a 2018 11" iPad Pro, mainly for the CPU boost as certain Logic features require m1 or higher.

[@lafosh7234]

I’m torn I really want the biggest screen available as someone who doesn’t have a laptop…I just read online books and watch movies soo I’m teething on getting the 13 inch air..and if I really need it I can always upgrade to the m4 iPad Pro 13 inch when I’m rich lol

[@drdentrepair5530]

A year ago I went from a 12.9 M1 to IPad Air 5 and I do not regret it one bit. It’s so light and portable and when I need a larger display I just dock it. I just found your channel and agree with the points you made. However I’m interested in your video where you compare the air 5 to the new one and justify the upgrade.

[@AndrewClare]

Should be coming this Friday

[@lamar310]

I upgraded from the 2018 11” iPad Pro to the new 13” iPad Air and I’m happy with my purchase and did the research. I own the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Galaxy Tab S8+ which both have a 120Hz screens and looked at the Air and Pro side by side at the Apple Store. I still haven’t noticed a $200 difference in the screen. I use my iPad Air for online classes, gaming, streaming movies, listening to music, listening to podcasts, and reading. The new 2024 Surface Pro and Surface Laptop both hit 600 nits peak brightness like Air just to give a full perspective that the Air doesn’t have some lower tier screen. Apple is giving away trade in credits…I got $330 for my old iPad so the upgrade was under $600 which is a great value

[@brahsumatra]

Currently using the 2019 9.7 IPad and have been waiting for the M4. After looking at the specs and insane pricing I’m probably going for the M2 Air.

Apple sure know how to hustle their customers. What should be an included feature is removed to entice someone to buy something for more. These tablets are television price.

[@KThatG]

I upgraded from a iPad 10th Gen to the 13inch iPad Air. I’ve been wanting a larger screen iPad, unfortunately iPad Pro was the only one with the a bigger screen and was just too expensive. I’m just glad there now an affordable version. Especially with an M2 chip meaning I can keep it for a very long time.

[@jimmatherly]

Great vid Andrew! I just got the M2 iPad Air and couldn’t be happier. Hello from Alaska! Do you use screen protectors or cases?

[@AndrewClare]

Not in the iPad

[@kostistau]

Got the base air as well even though I was planing on buying the pro. I’m happy I made that decision, the new air is more than enough for my usage and the display is still really nice. Save a ton of money while being able to do everything a pro can do.

[@Prophyte-ud7sf]

I’m glad you are happy with your decision but wouldn’t it have been better to buy an older pro like the M1 for the same price?

[@lilacle5675]

That's the video I was waiting for about this new iPads

[@techjunkie77]

I had 2018 iPad Pro with Smart Folio keyboard. I upgraded to 13” iPad Air with Magic Keyboard. I got $235 for my old iPad. I couldn’t justify the price on new iPad pro. I use it pretty much how you use yours so this new Air is definitely fine for me.

Great video sir, I actually did the same thing I traded my 2020 iPad Pro 12.9 inch got $410 for it and purchased the M2 iPad Air 11 inch only had to put less than 200 with it. I’m very satisfied thanks again for the upload.

Would you recommend the M2 iPad Air to someone that’s never owned an iPad before? I’m deciding between this and the iPad 10th generation.

[@AndrewClare]

iPad 10th gen is nice and cheaper

[@vesuviocinematics472]

Thanks for your great review - Im stuck at this stage going back and forth since December 2023. Told myself to wait for the new launch as older gens most likely will get a price drop and then to see if its worth getting the latest and greatest or just go for prev gen. Looking at pricing it would be dumb to go with prev gens as the pricing isint far off but now where i battle to make up my mind is the size 11inch seems so small im scared im going to regret going for mobility over size for interior design as well as 3d modeling with sketchup doing architectural and furniture design. Secondly that Lidar on the Pro will make it so much easier for me when doing site visits to be able to use polycam or roomplan to just scan the interior building and have measurements and a cad model by the time i leave site ( the only problem is Air does not support which means i need to take extra bucks out for the pro but....am i really going to use it so much to justify the price diff from air to pro or am i better off just getting a laser measuring tape and do it by hand and save money. Im literally going crazy not knowing what to do.

[@AndrewClare]

I would go the save money route

[@sujitchachad]

I am waiting for WWDC next month if nothing changes on the iPad OS then I am going with the 11 inch M2 Air. But I wish they should have released iPad mini with the M1 cheap if not the latest and greats chip. I love the form factor of mini.

Cool video mate. I’m an Air guy, MacBook Air, and I have an iPad Air 5th gen. My usage doesn’t require the Pro models at all, I do have an iPhone Pro model, and AirPods Pro though. I’ve been thinking about trading in my iPad Air 5th gen for the new one. I just need to save up some extra cash to do so, and to get the Apple Pencil Pro along with it

would it be better to get the m2 pro 12.9 or the m2 air 13"? I have seen some good deal for the M2 pros for a little over $100 more than the air for same memory

[@bobcresswell5031]

Underwhelmed by the new iPads. Waiting ages for the Air 5 to be similarly disappointed. Went for an M1 iPad Pro which I really like EXCEPT the position of the front facing camera, that is all! Current iPad Pro display is a little smashed so considering upgrade to Air or….refurbed M2 iPad Pro so I can keep 120, slightly better sound and so on but would be stuck with that awful ff camera position. How about adding an external Webcam, is that a solution?

[@TommyKinsey1972]

I almost always sit at a desk with my Mac and my iPad on a stand. The ONLY reason I went with the M4 was for the facial recognition so I don't have to reach up and touch my iPad. Face ID > Touch ID

[@iremarac]

Hey there! I have a question, for uni. and watching movie-shows yt etc. Which one should i buy; ipad air m2 11" or ipad pro m2 11" (all of them with pencil tho) ? In my country the ipad pro m2 11" is 5k more than new ipad air so which one is better for long term? New ipad is 2 years younger and it will be get more updated that's the two reason im stuck with it: m2 pro price and update stuff... 🤷🏻‍♀️ and also is it big enough 11"? I want to buy the 13" but the price diff is literally 10k its so much tho. I would like to state that the iPad I bought can be updated for at least 6-7 years and that I want to use it for a very long time without lag or other problems.

I’d go with the air

[@corneilousamey2377]

Waiting for WWDC to see the software updates

[@925CONNECT]

I went with the 13’ pro with new Magic Keyboard and pencil pro and it’s amazing! That being said, it is also overkill. I am returning for the 13’ air with a Magic Keyboard for that and going to use an after market pencil off amazon. Going to be saving over $700 which I love and will have an almost identical user experience!

[@ChesterFoster]

I agree with you.. I’m skipping the pro (and also the air).. I’m waiting on that new iPad.. I have the iPhone 14Pro Max and if the normal iPad gets the A16 Bionic chip or better I’m getting the normal iPad because the A16 Bionic is honestly a 4 NM monster

[@VectorGaming4080]

I went with the base 11” M2 iPad Air instead of the Pro and do not regret it. The M2 is faster than any chip in any other tablet aside from the M4. It is a full-fledged desktop chip that will let the iPad Air stay relevant for years and years. Also, nothing is wrong with the 60 Hz display. Yes, promotion on my iPhone is nice, but I forget about it very quickly. And I’ve actually turned off promotion on my iPhone because I no longer think about it and it saves battery. Now, on my desktop gaming PC, I absolutely want 120 Hz for response time and motion in games. But on a mobile device where I’m using browsing the web, a consistent 60 Hz is great and always will be.

[@06bostonguy]

the M2 iPad Air would be a perfect device for me if it had 120hz refresh dispaly, i don't really care much for Mini LED or OLED but 60hz in 2024 it's a shame when you charge $600-$800 bucks for a device in 2024. so its a pass for me .

I have tried a number of tablets (iPads and Fires) and I just prefer an advanced laptop. They don't need a stand and you put an iPad in a stand/case, there goes that elegant thinness. Make the Mac Book Air with that screen and that would be nearly perfect.

I mentioned the display. the fact you’re paying so much more for that doesn’t make it worth it for most people.

[@kelliephillips8856]

Your not the only one

[@MinimalisTech]

Damn, really giving me that buyers remorse rn for getting the pro 😂

[@AndrewClare]

Nah bro! You made a good choice

[@saovbleidd]

i have the 11 inch m2 pro. No need to upgrade to m4.

[@AndrewClare]

For sure no need to

[@jaredweiman2987]

If it's cost prohibitive, then yeah, the Air is better value per dollar. If money isn't an issue, then the complete Pro suite (iPad, Pencil & Keyboard) is the way to go. The OLED display can't be beat. $1K is a lot for a tablet. I get it. But it's definitely not a waste of money. It's a technological marvel and a great option for those with the budget.

I never buy a iPad before my mom buy me a iPad 2 for my birthday that was long time ago I have to see one of my family members or family friends get me a new IPad Air or new IPad Pro for my birthday next month

[@AndrewClare]

It isn’t just 1k thought. It’s over $1400

[@calitb]

I guess at this point you should get any refurbished iPad M1 or M2 and save some money, only get the M2 Air2 if you really want to use the Pencil Pro, and get the M4 if you have money to expend 😅. All those M1-M4 devices has the same horsepower in the end, iPadOS is the same for all of them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@ChristianPhone-sz2ty]

U only get pro if you can notice the difference between 60hz to 120hz. As a gamer who use oled 360hz a 60hz is like super downgrade…and the smoothness is so noticeable slow in 60hz but other than that air is better value

[@syn010110]

why can't it have 120hz T_T

[@vexingrune]

Nice to hear from someone actually creating digital art on the iPad Air. Most tech KZbinrs would have you believe that the Pencil is simply unusable on a 60Hz display. I'm personally planning to trade in my M1 Pro for the M2 Air so I can use the Pencil Pro with it. Been to the Apple store today to try it out and I loved it.

[@AndrewClare]

Most tech KZbinrs have no sense of how real people use tech

[@jeremiahhortal]

Me, still happy with my ipad 9th gen

[@R33OCO]

I dont see the point of the air you might as well save your money and go with last years products like the 12.9 inch iPad Pro either m1 or m2

[@adorableredfox]

60hz maybe a downgrade but it's what most displays still use.

[@TokyoNeko8]

M4 pro

[@KingTode]

If you have a MacBook Pro, there's even less justification for an iPad Pro.

[@scrollinYT]

Sorry buddy, but this video is not it going with the outdated tech is never a good choice in the long run

[@AndrewClare]

Crazy to think the M2 is outdated. M1 is still phenomenal
