    Hi
    Thanks for your great video.
    I currently have an iPad 6th Generation 32 GB. After some years I feel that the iPad is lagging in performance and storage is basically full. I currently use my iPad professionally to access MS apps (Excel, Word,PDF, Edge) as also power point for presentations. It is also used for Teams meetings. On a personal level I just use it for social media and offline streaming while travelling.
    The next iPad should also have cellular capabilities as not always wifi is available. I currently also have the apple pen first generation.
    Would you help choose the best iPad for me.
    Thanks

    After so many reviews raving about the iPad Air I was relieved to see an appropriately critical review that also highlighted some of the key differences between it and the 10th gen iPad. The only place I might disagree with is that the M1 chipset will likely help the upgraded software run more efficiently (and hopefully longer that the A14) as this iPad gets older. Otherwise, I really like that the camera on the 10th gen is more appropriately located for use in video calls if I'm using it as a laptop. The other option is getting the iPad Air and using another keyboard that allows use in portrait mode... What folio keyboard allows this? Suggestions?

On the other hand I’ve had to quite a few video calls and meetings and I don’t like the off center camera view. So, I might be one of the few people who would be interested in the 10th Gen, especially with the nice keyboards, but right now, the 9th is fine.

    TouchID on the power button has always been a problem with me because the same button is used to turn the iPad off.
    So I always turn it off when I mean to turn it on because I push by habit.
    Laminated display, though? Worth the extra money, because I HATE the non-lam displays.

    i feel again that this may be an unpopular opinion - as a user of an ancient 2017 10.5in ipad pro + 1st gen apple pencil, the 10th gen looks pretty good except for the colours. i use my ipad primarily to watch movies, youtube videos, emails, some web surfing i.e. *exactly* what you said ipad users do, & have realised that i don’t exactly need a pro for all this. that sald, i’ve only ever used my ipad pro so there’s no comparison for me.
    as for losing the pencil’s cap - it is magnetic & attaches itself to the side of the ipad. of course with disappearing bezels maybe it’s different now but that’s what i do.
    i’ve also done minor editing work on M365 apps / acrobat & everything’s been great.
    i was inspired by david hockney & had intended the ipad pro + pencil to do more digital art but it never went very far 😅
    all this makes me wonder if the 10th gen is for those like me who jumped at getting the pro before realising that an « ordinary » version would do very well too. & we don’t even have to get a new pencil !
    i have no incentive to get a new ipad but desperately need to replace the smart keyboard.

    I ordered the air over the standard one, the only thing i loved about the Standard 10 was the yellow color, i think it looks amazing. What i really dont like about the Ipad 10 is that they put the A14 in it, even my Iphone 13 pro max uses A15. In my case the ipad air has not that much more feature though i could use compared the normal one but the price was not that much of a difference. Only the laminated screen, stronger CPU and 1mm thinner case is usefulle to me.I dont care about the camera, reflective coating and the use of external monitors at all. I would love i could buy an ipad without cameras at all. The air should have the 120 Hz screen.

    It’s wild to me that not a single reviewer understands that the reason this one supports the first gen pencil for schools who already have a bunch of pencils they don’t want to rebuy. Granted I think they should support both pencils but still.

    I’m super conflicted, because I want a new ipad (currently have the air 2 from 2016), and i want to use it for daily stuff (email, youtube, etc), but also for drawing with procreate. I have a 1st gen apple pencil, so i wouldn’t be able to use that with the air. Is it really that much of an issue to charge the pencil with a cable? Because how often do you really need to do that? Otherwise I’d need to spend €200 more on the air + invest in a 2nd gen apple pencil. Is that worth it? idk…

    I feel like if you don’t care about the pencil than save the money and get the 10th gen and only if you really want the new design. I really feel like wanted to get this out at $399 and couldn’t so they kept the 9th gen in the line up. Long term I think the plan will be drop the 9th get this to $399, drop the 11in pro and maybe do a 14 or 15in pro. So the future line up will be Pro with M series, Air with M series -1 (gen behind the Pro), Mini with an A+ chip (chip that is in the iPhone Pro series that year) at $449, Base iPad with A chip (from the base iPhone) for $399

      The external monitor full screen support for the M1 / M2 iPads is a pretty big deal. I think it will get more coverage once it is out for public beta and release at iPad OS 16.2. It currently is on 16.2.1 developer beta only, but it’s pretty good. It’s currently a bit buggy but will be a nice addition when using the iPad with a desktop setup and external monitor or when connected to a projector for presentations. Getting rid of the black bars is pretty significant. That feature (and the M1) along with a better 12M camera, faster USB-C, and 5G support make the 5th gen Air a better deal than the 4th gen, though the 4th gen is still a good device.

    I believe the ipad 10 is just a rebranded ipad air 2020 with a cheaper screen but you do get 5G connectivity plus improved front facing camera with the ipad 10. Ipad air 2020 benefit is..
    Fully laminated display, Anti-reflective coating, Wide colour display (P3) sRGB, True Tone display. Both have exactly the same A14 bionic chipset. Local shop "Argos" is selling the ipad air 2020 256GB model same price as the ipad 10 64gb right now. I have my ipad 10 with out catching onto this. Feeling i miss out but the ipad 10 is still great i have no issues with the screen. So close between the two models. I think the 5G reliability connectivity on ipad 10 would of won me over by the finest of margins. Faster internet for streaming movies. tbh the improved screen and the 256GB at the same price would of been hard to turn down.

    I recently upgraded from a 6th gen to the 5th gen air and whilst I think it’s brilliant and a huge upgrade, I would’ve preferred to save a bit of money and buy the 10th gen had it been out at the time. Yes it’s a controversial opinion, but I’ve never used the Apple pencil nor have any intention to so this issue doesn’t bother me, nor does the unlaminated screen. At the end of the day I wanted an iPad with the newer full screen design that uses usb c and one that allows me to do lots of writing and the new keyboard looks better then the rest. My only real criticism of the new 10th gen is the ridiculous price increase from the 9th gen

      I have a 6 year old iPad that i traded for $65.00. The iPad cost me 419.00 less $65.00 so I paid about $365.00. I was hesitant at first but I figured I only need this for watching movies and emails web surfing and the likes. It’s pricey but I hope it will be like my iPad 5th gen that I was able to use for 6 years. I didn’t get the 9th gen because I want the usb c. So basically I skipped on the 9th gen because of the screen size and the usb c.
