WHY PAY MORE? iPad 8 vs iPad Air 4 Buying Guide!

After watching a few of your videos, I have finally subscribed. I like how you explain real life scenario when comparing devices. Other reviewers on KZbin only talk about the spec differences only. Which does not help when deciding on which device to buy.

PLEASE ALSO COMPARE THEM ON THE BASIS OF GAMING

@Eduardo De la Jara First, (if you still need help) what’s your budget at? Because if it’s tight the IPad mini 5 is an option, still very capable of a lot of things

[@kiu8783]

Your video actually convinced me to buy iPad 8, I was considering iPad 8, iPad air 3, or iPad air 4. I only gonna use it for note taking, drawing and edit simple video. So actually my concern is the difference between non laminated display and ram size, other specs does’t really matter. But I just can’t seems to justify the difference of $100 for laminated display on iPad air 3 and I only get 64GB (it has 3 gb ram too), and even if I got extra ram for iPad air 4 that will give more layers on procreate, I think it’s better if I want to upgrade later to iPad pro (6gb ram) if I think it was really necessary. Moreover you need to buy 2nd gen apple pencil that were more expensive so it’ll cost $250 more than iPad 8 128 gb plus apple pencil gen 1. So iPad 8 it is. I have it for a week and i love it! It’s definitely help me lineart than my huion pen tablet, the air gap is a little bit hard to adjust at first but it’s definitely tolerable and now I can predict where my lines drawn. Oh and it still have earphone jack which I prefer since I always forgot to charge my Bluetooth earphone, so I never really use it even if I have it lol.

[@constantdistress]

i’ve been stuck between the 8 (128gb) and air (64gb) for about a week and i think i’ve finally decided. i’m going to get the 8 since i’m mainly going to be using it for procreate and note taking. i can get the pencil, a case, and screen protector with the leftover money as well as not have to worry about low storage for awhile :) thank you so much for the informative video!

What storage space did you get and do you think it’s enough?

[@SomeJohndoe]

Im currently struggling choosing between the two. Im abit nerdy and techy so i am somewhat wary about what il get with each device and am also thinking about the future proofing each device has...I can stretch to buy the air 4 without breaking the bank(it will dent my wallet for this month though) and i want to buy something solid as i will keep whichever ipad i buy a very loong time. It will be my first ipad. Obviously the 8 is attractive but then I think of all the extras il get for an extra 200usd with the air 4: * 64 base storage * Apple pencil 2 * Double tap apple pencil 2 to enable eraser(seems small but it one of those conviniences that quickly become essential as you use them sort of like headphones with auto device switching for audio) * Apple pencil magnetic attaches to ipad and always charged together with ipad so theoretically you dont have to think about recharging your apple pencil or finding a way to keep it together with the ipad * A14(probably better ipados 15 support for new features) so better performance * Longer software support * Laminated display * Updated design with uniform bezels * Thinner lighter design * Bigger display in relatively same size chassis as iPad 8 * Usb c for future proofing and better transfer speeds and more accessories * Better stereo set up for the speakers * Basically same great battery life with bigger display Its a very compelling purchase over the 8. Maybe im just experiencing buyers remorse for buying an expensive item before i have actually bought it. But im really leaning towards the air 4

I was buying an iPad for school during black friday and I am so glad I chose the iPad air, especially because it uses USB-C, the pencil design is more innovative, and the camera. The USB-C option was crucial for me because my laptop and phone both use it so I'm able to swap chargers between my devices, which is super convenient for me.

[@manikdesilva1]

I am using iPad Pro 2018 and in my usage I can say apples implementation of usb c is not as robust as I expected , I think it will be the same case of iPad Air 4. Honestly speaking my Android LG phone uses the usbc port much better than iPad example full screen display when connected to big screen, support for DisplayPort . Basically what I am saying is don’t expect usbc on iPad to work in a similar way that usbc works on other devices. Lightning might be okay for now. Also usbc headphone sound horrible on iPad for some reason on iPads. Finally a14 processor with no pro-motion really limits the capabilities of the iPad Air 4. This is a great review and the production quality is outstanding!

Because of this, I am leaning towards the iPad Air 4, but I’m hesitant because it’s above my price point.

I was also so anxious about choosing between the two because the 4 is so expensive to me, but you cleared my mind and now I'm "in peace" ahah, thank you again and have a nice day!

[@VanshikaAhuja19]

What did you go for?

[@blockchain9]

I brought today ipad gen 8 by watching your videos. Even book few accessories. Thanks 🌹

[@vishalh9407]

Me too.. I also bought iPad 8th gen today..

[@vedantdalvi7523]

Which storage variant have you brought?

[@freddieharmon8541]

Thanks, I really wanted the air 4, however...with school and work, I will need to go with the 8th generation. I'm on a budget, but your review was legit! Thanks so much for helping me choose the proper iPad for my needs. Once I finish school, my graduation gift will be yes, you guessed it. Thanks, again!✌

[@TechGearTalk]

So glad I could help Freddie. Good luck with school. Thank you for being part of the channel!

[@GSquid92]

Upgrading from air 2 to air 4 It’s so good

[@TechGearTalk]

CONGRATS!!!

[@johnbellamy5005]

I really like that you do your best at explaining with clarity and that you get right to the point. I have subscribed to your channel because of that. Great information. Thanks

[@juansolaresgalan]

I only could afford the iPad 8th gen. 32 Gb, and yes the lack of storage is a pain. But besides that, I couldn’t be happier. It’s been a beautiful experience being my first Apple tablet. The capabilities are fantastic! I just have to deal with unloading files every once in a while to a USB stick. I’m learning photo editing with Pixelmator Pro and writing some life experiences with Notability. Got a Logitech Crayon pencil and a few accessories also. A case is a must to preserve it beauty. As soon as I can get me an iPad Air, this one goes to my 11 y/o daughter. Great video!

[@TechGearTalk]

Thank you so much for sharing Juan. Sounds like a great setup - CONGRATS! Thanks for being part of the channel.

[@TechGearTalk]

Thank you Miguel! Happy new year!!!

[@megsnets]

I am used to drawing on a second gen iPad mini, so I won’t be bothered by the non laminated display on the 8. If I had all the money in the world the air would be my choice, but I can’t justify a few hundred dollars more for what I need

[@patburns64]

I got the air 4 and I love it, but honestly the ipad 8th gen would have been enough. I just ordered the ipad 8th gen for work

[@straysheep5312]

I just got an iPad Pro (2018) which has the Face ID, 2nd gen pen, and the Promotion for 120hz screen. All for the same price as an iPad Air 4.

[@naydazzle1519]

Awesome comparison, clear, understandable and to the point. Thank you🤗

[@FalkiXd]

I have a iPad chase that when I miss on the Touch ID it just slides into the right spot🔥🔥🔥

[@0ptimismPrime]

the friggin apple pencil 1 comes with a double female lightning adapter so you can charge it from literally any lightning cable in existence, why does every single comparison pretend it doesn't?

[@clem0x28]

You also need to consider the lifetime of an Apple product. If you buy a wrong generation, it won’t be worth in the long run. I have the first generation iPad Air (7 years old) whereas my cousin has a 7 month older model. His iPad died a couple of years ago, no longer supported and apps won’t work, while I’m still using mine and considering buying Air 4 in the next 6 months to use it for another 6 years. Also I’m still using an iPhone 5S, more than 6 years old, but iPhone 5 has already been dead for a long time now. 5 years from now, iPad Air 4 will still be relevant and useable but I can’t say the same thing for iPad 8. If you want a temporary Apple toy for 3 years, go for cheaper iPad 8. But if you want a device that you want to rely on and will be supported for many years to come go for Air 4. Reasonable people buy Apple products because they last long and are valuable in the long run. If you want a tablet you wanna play around for a while you might also consider an Android tablet, i.e Samsung. It will be cheaper and better than the iPad 8 and have a similar lifetime. iPad 8 is a trap for fanboys, who wants Apple no matter what. You need to be a tad smarter when buying Apple: - Air 4 is the best, don’t buy Pro(2020) and iPad 8 - iPhone 12 is a good choice, avoid 11 and X series, if you’re tight on budget SE 2020 is the greatest value, it will have more lifetime than any X series. I’m still holding onto my 5S but I’ll probably wait for 12S to see what it brings, it might be better choice than 12 or even if not, it will drop the price of 12. - Watch 6 is good but SE is just better value and they will have the same lifetime of support. 6 just have more colors and useless EKG and O2 in blood features, they don’t work reliably. If you need those features, buy a dedicated devices for those. - For Macs it’s obvious that you should only buy M chips. If you’re a high end user and need a Mac asap, you might buy a Pro but it will lose value quickly in a couple of years. If you’re not in a hurry, be patient or go for a custom build PC with Ryzen if you’re not using Apple exclusive software. At the high end, you should only buy Apple if you absolutely need Apple’s software (i.e Logic, Final Cut). Because any custom build PC will perform many times better at that level: more than $2k desktop, and will have future upgradability, which is something you should consider if you’re a professional. - Macbook Air M1 is better than Macbook pro 13” M1. You don’t need fans for that chip, it will only suck dust in. Instead upgrade your RAM to 16 GB on Air for that price difference and you’ll have a laptop you can use for the next 7 years. If you think you need fans because you’ll do high performance tasks, than neither of those are for you anyway. That chip is not powerful enough to utilize cooling and it’s bad at multicore tasks. Wait for the Pro version of M1 (aka M1X). It will probably have more base clock and more high performance cores with more gpu cores to handle high end tasks.

[@Encourageable]

“The iPad 8 is a trap for apple fanboys…” - that was a stupid comment. The iPad 8 is perfectly good and will last for years to come.

[@eckee]

@@Encourageable A12 chip will have the same support of iPhone XS which is already 2 and a half years old. With the new iPad Pro and iPad on the horizon (probs in late March) with A14 chips, it's your call to buy a 2.5 years old device. You'll have about 3 years with that.

[@carlosdelacova1943]

Great review! Thank you so much. Thinking of purchasing an iPad 4. I have an iPad Air 3 and I love it.

[@1995kth]

“buy it nice or buy it twice” 👏🏼

[@Rydertheblackable]

You comparing your Ipad Air 2, that was amazing. I'm exactly on that spot, I'm planning to jump to the Ipad Air 4 from the Air 2... yes because of this wonderful comparison video. Keep the great job!

[@erase_mello]

But this is a comparison of iPad Air 4 and 8th gen iPad?

[@MasterKoala777]

iPad 8 32GB user here. The free space is actually 22-23 GB if you remove preinstalled apps like Garage Band, Numbers, etc. I left iMovie there because I occasionally trim videos. Coming from an iPad Mini 2 16GB, I am more than satisfied 😄.

[@TechGearTalk]

Yup, I believe I mentioned uninstalling apps you don’t need (may have been another video). Thanks for contributing to the community.

[@lanchesternaanyane]

I'm going to be new to Apple so I'm getting the iPad 8 first to get used to the OS an general experience. I'm currently using the Samsung galaxy Note 10.1 so I'm used to the non laminated screen and 32GB storage. I'll upgrade to the iPad Air in early 2022.

[@angelaotimo9297]

So glad I found this helpful review, so informative and from such a positive person! I need an iPad mostly for digital art and your review is actually more informative and helpful than most artists reviews I've seen! Thank you!

Currently own ipad air 2..... My digitizer needs replacing 😣...... Rather upgrade to the latest Will use for documents, photos, video...... Thank you again, made my choice easier.

[@farraelena4570]

I currently have the ipad 8 and it performs excellently but i'm disliking the unlaminated display more and more each day. It looks ugly to me now, especially on a white-bezzled one, like mine. I'm contemplating on selling it and get either the ipad air 4 or the pro 11 2020. The Air 4 might be the smarter choice but the Pro one is hard to ignore. It excels in lots of aspect.the quad-speakers alone blew me away. Hard choice.

[@WidePhotographs]

Go for the Air 4 with the Logitech keyboard for a total of $759.

[@TechGearTalk]

Those speakers are great and promotion is nice too.

[@sakuchan6078]

[@unicorns47]

Yes you did well I appreciate a video that is well spoken and gives lots of detail it's distracting trying to learn something new when you can't understand the reviewer. Also most people don't put enough thought into details to mention.

[@WidePhotographs]

I have decided to exchange my iPad Air 3 which I got for $429 (Black Friday) to get the iPad Air 4. The reason is the Air 4 will last another 6 years. I plan on buying a DSLR soon. Would like to have that USB-C since I already have a few USB-C sticks.

[@TechGearTalk]

CONGRATS!!! I hope you love your new Air 4!!!

[@WidePhotographs]

@@TechGearTalk just made the switch earlier today. Luckily Best Buy had a open box at $515. No original box, just the charger and cable included. I would suggest people to buy open box since they still give you the Best Buy return policy and I can still add the apple coverage (48 days remaining)

[@craigpattenden]

Great review, so thorough! Would be great if you had timestamps for specific features too, but that’s being picky.

[@xoangelicaf0523]

Wish I would’ve got the iPad Air bc I like the full screen display

[@mingkifilm]

thank god i came across this video. im planning to buy an ipad for work and idk which one to get. it looks like im getting the ipad air for the usb-c port since i think it just makes more sense in a working environment because of its flexibility

[@ltcdpl]

thank you for this! you definitely deserve more subscribers ♥

[@scotstevig8338]

I have never commented on a KZbin video before but this was awesome! Thank you! I had (still have. I plan on selling it I think) an iPad Pro 10.5” 2017 model. There isn’t anything wrong with it, but I wanted a newer model. From the extensive research I did it seemed like the iPad Air 4 was the best choice of all the choices currently available. I would be interested in a video that discussed someone like me who is wondering if I made the right decision or whether I should have just stuck with my 2017 iPad Pro. Thank you!
