OK. Hands up whoâs got an M-series iPad of any kind? Howâs it holding up?
I currently have ipad pro m1 and I am mainly using it for playing pubg mobile â€đ
M1 iPad air but I prefer the mini. The only downside of the mini (for me) is the battery. The iPad air is, as you pointed out a bit of chunkster.
I have an M1 iPad Air 256gb, it is in perfect condition. I want to upgrade to and M2 but honestly for my needs, I only play Hearthstone, and a few other mobile games and watch TV and Videos, there would be no difference in performance for me. I am only thinking of doing it for the $300 trade in credit. I would like a Mini but they did not release a new one and I suspect it is by design.
iPad Pro m1 11â mostly for mobile gaming, top tablet.
Who would need Air with 60 FPS screen limitation?
You need 90- 120 FPS to play games at competitive level .( WARZONE , PUBG mobile etc)
Going for M4 absolutely, next month or earlier.
I bought the air 13 last week and itâs great
IPad Pro : artists , musicians, photographers
iPad Air : Everyone else đ
U left gamers
@@gamerm2491 true true. And also Iâm an artist, but I use an Air cause im not a rich artist đđ€ŁđȘ
@@Latenightnonsense-td5yd If you buy frim EMI doesnt make much difference.. always go for pro.. To avail maximum outcome
iPad Pro for those who want 120hz, as well as the 13â if they want a huge screen
As soon as they reduced the price I got my elderly mum to upgrade to iPad 10th generation from her 2017 model. It's absolutely perfect for her
I get that Apple canât outright market this at over 70s, but I agree itâs perfect for them. Similarly at the other end of the scale itâs a good tablet for younger children, say 10ish and up.
@@ThatMarkGilroy yes absolutely it does everything she needs. I use the iPad mini 6 and absolutely love it but it might be too small for her
I would double check, I heard a rumor that the mini & regular iPads might be getting upgrades in the Fall/winter of this year.
@@FuriousNovaSS And wait for another 6 month again? There's always something better and faster around the corner and if your current device does everything you want to, there's no need for FOMO.
@@AntodyFor the iPad 10 I agree. For the Mini, I REALLY suggest waiting. It would have been 3 years since it came out, so the upgrade for it will be much greater and I think it would be a big mistake to buy one at full price now. If itâs heavily discounted on Amazon, which it often is, then probably go for it. Otherwise maybe wait to see what happens at the iPhone event
As a professional musician who just saw both iPads today in person, they're amazing. Unfortunately for me (lol), I use my Ipad for work (reading music, writing in it, collecting scores, and for teaching/gigging). Additionally, I use it for all my entertainment needs (watching movies and shows, as well as music). The speakers make a huge difference in sound quality and the screen really packs a punch. I'll continue to think about it but I am leaning to the Pro.
I've got the new 13" pro upgrading from my m1 11" pro. Even as someone who's more of an intermediate musician, it's a huge upgrade for having charts on a music stand (especially using it outside) and multitasking (extreme case: Timpani sheet, instrument tuner, and metronome). The 13" air will be easier on the budget and can still do these things, but that 1000 nits of brightness is really nice if you play outside or on a brightly lit stage.
@@DanielMakesCadences thatâs great to hear, thank you for the input! Iâve got a 2nd Gen Pro so Iâm sure anything will be a jump up for me lol. The brightness factor sounds great, though Iâll end up throwing on a screen protector to avoid glares.
Great info ,thanks
I really love your content, and I love how genuine and upfront you are! You have a great speaking voice as well, and it's very relaxing! You definitely have a voice for radio too! đ» â€đ
Ah, thank you! In another life I do host a podcast⊠itâs a very different niche to this though!
@@ThatMarkGilroy yeah I hear the iPad mini is great for editing podcast's đŻđïžđŻ
Watching using my iPad 9th generation. This is the best value Apple tech that is still worthy this year until next 2 years. I use this for streaming shows, CZcams, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, viewing my digital magazines, emails, web browsing, gaming and other social media apps. All good for an affordable price woohooo đđ
Love what you said!
This is a lovely and informative video as always Mark! Keep doing your thing!!
Thank you!
great video, many thanks
Thanks buddy. đđ»
I just got rid of my iPad 9th generation and Iâm looking for a slight upgrade. This was a very helpful video THANK YOU.
Iâve narrowed my choices to the mini and the air, It would be for personal use, note taking, journaling etc so while the mini is enticing the air may seem more bang for my buck.
I'm going to pick up the Air soon for a direct comparison so stay tuned. I agree it's LOTS more bang for buck.
I love my I pad 9th gen for reading textbook library books and streaming.since Iâm not an artist I donât need anything too fancy
Very nice Will!

I have my ipad 9th too. I use it for my clients, games, watching movies, making fitness programs, reading books and itâs very helpful. But if Iâll upgrade soon, Iâll have the ipad air
What iPad would you recommend for a college student who does not have an iPad and is strictly going to use for taking notes and watching videos and maybe some games
iPad Air - every day of the week. Not necessarily this recent model but you might want to look at the new size and see if the 13â is worth the extra.
I got the iPad mini 6 since Christmas of 2022, its the pink 256gb, I absolutely love my mini, but my productivity has gotten more and more active and need something faster, more creative and productive and larger, so I am upgrading to the Air 6. I will most likely keep the mini however if it comes down to budget I will probably use it as a trade-in.
I've had mine for a similar period and I'm just starting to notice it start to struggle with some tasks. A processor/screen/battery bump would do wonders to breathe new life into this model!
Iâm still working with a regular iPad 5th Gen (2017) and it still works very well, itâs has minor moments where it shows itâs age but still runs what i need unlike the ipad mini that I also have that came out after it, very past itâs prime. Honestly might wait another year to see if they put the M1 or M2 in the regular IPad since thereâs not any reason for the old bionic chip set to be used going further.
Iâm convinced theyâre just using up old stock of those bionic chips from older phones.
â@@ThatMarkGilroy or recycling them
Also still enjoy my iPad 5 gen
Thanks for the video. Do you think the iPad Air with that screen quality would work for professional digital art?
It definitely would/could. But you might want to try them in store side by side as I know some digital artists find the responsiveness of the iPad Pro screen makes a big difference when theyâre creating.
My wife has the latest iPad Mini and uses it mainly for reading. She admits that she probably only uses 10% of its capabilities, but itâs so much better for reading than on her smartphone. Until the new A chip comes out this year, there is no point in upgrading the Apple Mini because the current chip is more than powerful enough. I expect the iPad Mini will be updated with the latest A chip at the end of the year. The only other update you can make to the iPad Mini is with the Face ID.
One option for the iPad Mini is to expand its capability to act as a screen for the HomePod or Smart Display like the StandBy brought in with iOS 17.
I'd happily take a slightly thicker iPad Mini in exchange for a brighter/faster screen, face ID and a better battery. That would make it pretty much perfect for me.
I think, to replace my 2017 iPad Pro 10.5â, it will be a 11â iPad air w/ 512 storage. 13â just seems to large for my use, and M4 pro is too much for meâŠ
At 82 I find myself with an embarrassment of tablets. 12.9 2nd Gen, Mini 6, Air M2 11, Kindle Scribe. I use 'em for scribbling notes and editing photo-audio-video, and for sheet music for singing. The Mini is adorable, Grandpa 12.9 is lovely for editing photos, Air 11 M2 is a beast for speed - it vacuums in music scores like a hardcore wind tunnel. The Scribe is the pinnacle for handwriting, and of course, reading books. So much to explore - looking forward to brainstorming on the Air (big fan of Justin Sung).
There has to be a better word than âembarrassmentâ for a collection of tablets.
Iâll go with âa quarry of tabletsâ. đ
I tend to go for the latest tech but this time I choose the Air over the Pro. Happy with my decision. Allows me to purchase the accessories I want and up the storage.
As far as display goes I have been completely satisfied since iPad gen 1.
Which size did you go for out of interest?
@@ThatMarkGilroy 13" with 512GB.
This is my 5th iPad. Costs less than the original 13" pro 128GB from 2015 (still have it) and runs circles around it.
I'm actually trying to decide between an iPad Air M2 or an iPad Pro M2 (2022), if I can find one new at a similar price, where I live. That and the screen size, still deciding between 11" and 13". I come from an iPad 6th gen (2018). I'll try to see in person both devices in both sizes whenever possible, maybe that will help.
One thing which makes me confused is that I never heard any confirmation about the support from Apple on older devices with the same processor. I mean, will the iPad Pro M2 be supported (getting major version updates) as long as the Air M2, which is 2 years younger, just because the internals are basically the same for the devices?
Yeah, I donât think youâll need to worry about the iPad Pro M2 being supported for much less time than the iPad Air (if at all). I usually work on the basis that most Apple devices should last 6-7 years before showing any signs of needing upgrades (except iPhones).
If youâre comparing those two devices the key things Iâd consider are:
- Screen resolution / quality (both have good screens but Pro will be faster, brighter and clearer, especially noticeable with the 13â size)
- Apple Pencil support. M2 Air will require you to buy a new Apple Pencil Pro due to the layout of the front facing camera, whereas the M2 Pro works with the Gen 2 pencil
- Rear facing camera/pro res. In the unlikely event you want your iPad to shoot professional quality video - youâll get that in spades with the M2 Pro.
Been staring at the Ipad Mini 6th Gen on Amazon. They have a $77 coupon too. Should I go with it or wait till WWDC 2024? From what I hear they may release 7th gen at that event.
If you can get it with that discount (don't forget Apple refurbished too), I'd say just get it. You can always trade it up for the 7th gen when/if it's ever released!
After seeing that nano-textured display in the store, it really seems pointless. Just get a paper-like screen protector. It's nicer, you can remove it if you want, and it doesn't fade the colors as much. From what I've seen, the nano texture is nice at first, but then it collects fingerprints really badly and doesn't look as sharp.
AND Apple are super specific about how itâs cleaned.
@@ThatMarkGilroy yeah there's a reason why Apple includes that cleaning cloth đđđ»
@@m.hreels9822 For those artists who the iPad Pro and Pencil for drawing, the nano-textured display makes a big difference.
As a heavy procreate user what do you recommend? Coming from 9th gen iPad and itâs killing me đ©đ Thanks!
Edit: M2 Pro vs M2 Air? Or just go for the M4?
Youâll be set for years if you pick the M2 Air or M4 Pro as both support the new Apple Pencil Pro. Coming from the 9th gen iPad either one will be like stepping into a sports car from using a city runaround.
Iâd be leaning towards the Air to give you some budget to put towards accessories/storage, but if you can stretch to the cost, the M4 Pro screen may be a dealbreaker for you.
@@ThatMarkGilroy The response is super appreciated, thank you!
Thank you for that intro! :)
You want a pizza now right? đ
@@ThatMarkGilroy You are not wrong! ;) ...and maybe an Air instead of an Pro iPad... :)
Ipad pro had been my portable art tool for years. Ipad software is optimized for that screen and input methods, having mac os wouldnÂŽt make much sense on ipad since desktop software is way more cluttered for smaller screens. However file management could get on macOS level đ
I hear that. đđ»
I am considering buying a mac for my upcoming Uni start and am worried about the lacking touch for notes and solving exercises. So I am looking for an Ipad that does just that and maybe a little more so I could occasionally leave the mac at home and rely solely on the Ipad for a while. Which one do you think is the best device for this use case?
Sounds like the Air will see you well my friend. Maybe consider the 13â for those times you might want to leave your Mac at home.
I was so determined to buy the new iPad Air 11" 128gb until I watched some reviews. Now, I could really use some help deciding which iPad to buy. I will mainly use it for studying/reading, social media, watching videos, and maybe some drawing in my free time. (I already have a MBP M2).
I am really torn between the iPad 10th gene (256gb) with the USB-C Pencil and the new iPad Air because they are both in the same price range.
If those are your main use cases I can see why youâre between these two options. I think the iPad Air M2 will still be the better buy. You get an extra inch of screen size and itâs a better screen, camera, battery to boot. The only catch is youâll need to buy a new Apple Pencil Pro if you want it to charge wirelessly as the new camera position doesnât support the old gen.
@ThatMarkGilroy I already have an M1 pro MBP 14 . Iâm thinking of buying an ipad so I can use it as an extended display for my mac. What do you suggest? Iâm so confused rn
air
Quite satisfied with my iPad Pro 3rd Gen + wireless Pencil, 256gb ⊠though for future-proofing, considering upgrade. Your talk on the 13" Air @ 512gb got my interest, though with trade-in, the iPad Pro 13" (Logic Pro user), graphics/photography/art are to be considered before making the jump up/next đ€ ⊠liked your presentation, much appreciated đđŒ All the best
As a student in Highschool who is allowed to take notes digitally Iâm faced with the situation of choosing between a 13 m2 IPad Air with keyboard and Apple Pencil or m3 MacBook Air
Any thoughts?
I actually would advise the 13â MacBook Air with keyboard and pencil. The MacBook has more grunt but youâll be able to do LOADS with the iPad setup - itâll be like a Swiss Army knife for your studies. Would 100% advise checking out goodnotes app for your lessons- itâll allow you to record them as youâre taking notes and replay with your handwritten notes appearing in line with the audio.
@@ThatMarkGilroy yeah, thanks for the reply đ
@@ThatMarkGilroy i think you mean youd advise the ipad air
Thatâs right - get the new air and accessories over the MacBook Air for this use case.
thanks for this great video! but can you do a video where you compare iPad air 2024 and the pro 2022? both of them have M2 chip and they are now in the same price point (i mean maybe...?) im curious because the pro has 120hz but the air has a long standing support
I will try! It's an important comparison.
My parents absolutely LOVE their 10th gen! They FaceTime, email, play games, watch TikTok, etc. on theirs!! My parents love to try to beat each others scores in their iPad honey đ€Ł itâs so cute!! I just got myself a 13in Air
Thanks for this review. I just tradedin my 12.9 inch Pro from 2018. The battery was starting to fade and it is heavy. I think I am going with the 11 inch Air M2.
Great choice!
For the iPads mini am sure you could get a renewed or a refurbished one for less expensive
That's what I did. Good as new!
@@ThatMarkGilroy maybe thereâs a video somewhere in there
I'm thinking of getting a refurbished m1 iPad air, thoughts?
Yep, my advice here applies to the previous genâs as well. 99% of people will be super happy with an iPad Air.
Thrilled with my iPad 13â Pro, easy to hold in my hands YouTubingâŠ11â too small. Bought a cover case to make it easier to hold.
Nice. Which case did you get?
Should I go for iPad Pro 11in 4th generation with pencil 2 or the new iPad Air 11in 2024 with Apple Pencil pro?
Only go for the iPad Pro M2/ 4th gen if you care about the screen resolution / refresh rate or ProRes video. For all else youâll be absolutely fine with the new M2 Air and new Pencil Pro.
Great information and well done decision making. I still sit on the fence. I have a very nice 12.9 2tb version and the change of the camera and speakers and display want me to tilt over and get it. Sigh.
Thatâs how they get you. Iâm sure youâll make the right call for you!
Itâs kinda stupid that you have to pay $1000 to get more than 60hz. The air should have at least 90. At least that would be something
They wonât be able to sell PROs otherwise. So yes , want to get over 60 hz - buy Pro
There is the iPad Pro M2 with 120hz still. Some good bargains available for that model in the refurbished store, or direct.
@@ThatMarkGilroy My troubles with M1- M2 tablets is that they getting hot quite easily and straight after that screen starting to dim and CPU throttling.
Apple claims they seriously improved cooling system for M4 tablets, so hopefully it is not the issue anymore, otherwise whatâs the point of this horsepower if after 30 mins of gaming it became useless. I currently using active cooling ( heatsink with fan at the back of the IPad ) while gaming to prevent throttling but hopefully it wonât be an issue with the new IPad Pro
I haven't had an iPad before, and I want to choose between the 11-inch and 13-inch 2024 iPad Air for illustration purposes, and I won't regret buying it. How much memory do you need and what do you suggest? thank you
That's me too! I'm going back and forth between the 11" and 12.9" ipad pro, 256GB. Want to use it for digital art. Please update me on your decisionâșïž thank youuu
For illustration/digital art, you'll find the extra screen space handly, so I'd go for the 13 inch of either tablet. As for memory, it kind of depends how you normally keep stuff stored - if you're happy working off external drives/cloud storage to offload finished projects you might be fine with just 256GB...I tend to begrudge paying Apple's storage tax so I think you're unlikely to need more than 512GB if you have access to other forms of storage. Hope that helps.
@@slavica6483 I've replied above too - let me know how you get on!
@@slavica6483 worth noting that when you go past 1TB storage you also get a processor and RAM bump. You canât get these unless you also buy the extra storage. Sneaky Apple.
@ThatMarkGilroy I decided to get the 12.9" ipad pro, 256GB. I ordered it today and can't wait for it to get here next week !!
I have an option to buy a used ipad pro M1 12.9 16gb 1tb with apple pencile and magic keyboard for 1300âŹ, it works as new and was used with care. Do you think I should get it?
Thatâs a good price - better than any youâll find on the Apple refurbed store.
@@ThatMarkGilroy thabks soo much đȘ
No discount on the paper like link? Wish I could save the tax or shipping at least.
Sorry Stacy. They only run discount codes periodically which I'd usually post on my community wall.
What would you recommend for someone who already has an M1 Pro MacBook Pro for work and an iPhone 15 pro max. I just want something to ft people on and watch entertainment with a bigger screen. I donât play games or download a lot.
iPad Air đŻ(Iâd have said Mini but you mention you want a bigger screen)
HoweverâŠyou might want to take a look at one in store. If you already have a 15 Pro Max and MPB youâll find the screens and refresh rates on both devices considerably brighter/faster. I canât tell the difference between my 15 Pro Max/MPB/iPad Mini but some are bothered by it.
@@ThatMarkGilroy what is the 10th gen iPad for then? Thereâs a pretty big price difference between the twoâŠ
@@chrispurcell3671 In my view itâs for kids and pensioners. Genuinely - I canât think of any reason to buy the 10th gen unless extremely budget conscious (in which case, go previous gen Air/Pro and get refurbished) you want super basic features. Itâs the least powerful iPad of the current line up, of all with the worst quality screen.
Absolutely right I bought the m2 iPad Air 6 128GB for my needs also I got the iPad 10 I donât need a pro for basic needs
Nice. How are you finding it?
@@ThatMarkGilroy itâs fantastic iPad Air 6 with M2 I compared to my iPad 10th generation not much difference especially basic stuff like CZcams and music streaming
I absolutely agree that iPad does not need to be a MacBook, but I think it should intergrade more with Mac. The current Sidecar option is just weak. It would be nice for the iPad to became a fully featured touch/pen interface that enhances the Mac, something that utilise the thunderbolt connection.
The naming scheme of Apple products is just confusing. It'd be more understandable with iPad SE, the iPad line (iPad mini, iPad, iPad Plus) and iPad Pro line (iPad Pro and iPad Pro Max). It would work the same with iPhones too, iPhone SE, iPhone mini, iPhone, iPhone Plus, iPhone Pro, iPhone Pro Max. MacBooks as well for that matter, MacBook(13"), MacBook Plus(15"), MacBook Pro(14") and MacBook Pro Max(16"). The "Air" suffix just isn't relevant with tech nowadays and Apple should just ditch it entirely. Well, what do I know.
SEâs a good idea for the iPad line! Like it.
While itâs not a default function thereâs apps that do that I like splashtop for example, itâs free
@@VictorIbelles I dunno, it's Apple, they should be doing something more meaningful. Even Nintendo made better usage out of the secondary touch screen on the NDS. Have purposefully designed apps that make use of the iPad touch interface, the gyroscope, the pencil, making the iPad an extension of the Mac.
Hi I have the iPad Pro A1584 would I note a big difference in screen picture if I update to the 11inch iPad Pro 2024
Ah. Well I can give you a very accurate take on that as I used to have the A1584 before I moved to the iPad Mini. In short- yes, the difference in display will be very noticeable in almost all settings.
I will say the new magic aluminum keyboards are really nice though! That I think is worth the money đđ°đŻ
Bro youâre the coolest youtuber ever keep going đ©đđ»đŠŸđŻ
You're the coolest commenter ever - thanks mateđ đ
I have a MacBook Pro m3 pro 14 inch and 15 pro max phone in debating between an iPad mini or the new air m2 as I used to have an iPad Pro m1 but I miss my iPad. I donât need the pro as my Mac is the power machine
I have the same setup. But Iâd still struggle to recommend the Mini unless itâs going to be 80% used for note taking and reading digital books etc. For the same price (OK, $50 more) the new Air offers far more bang for buck.
@@ThatMarkGilroy I was thinking the mini 64gb for media tbh but I see micro center havin the m2 air for 550 vs 400 for the mini
Just be wary of buying a 64GB unit unless all you want is streaming. The latest iPadOS takes up around 17GB so you only really have around 40GB to play with, and thatâs before installing any of the apps you want.
As much as I wanted the Pro, I couldnât justify the price for what I plan on using it for. When I get home from work, I find myself playing games on my phone, watching videos, streaming podcasts or movies, all your normal leisure activities. I decided the M2 iPad Air was the way to go. Only downside is the speakers arenât that great, but I plan on using my AirPods anyways. I donât really care about a 60hz display because my iPhone has ProMotion & can do everything with ease. I just want a bigger screen for use at home. Instead of my ProMax.
Yep. I really canât tell the difference between 60/120hz unless theyâre constantly alongside each other.
Does the ipad 10th gen worth as an middle schooler?
Yep, I'd say it's perfect for that age. Homework assignments, reading texts, researching/note-taking, it's a good all-rounder.
I hope they donât do away with the mini i personally have loved mine but Iâm upgrading to the air!
Yep, I canât blame you! I think thereâs a very intentional decision behind the pricing of the 256GB options of the Mini vs Air.
Agreed! I need a bigger screen for graphic designing. Do you think the air will be a good option since I do not have an endless budget for the pro?
@@courtneytaylor3502 Absolutely. Unfortunately youâll need to buy the new pencil pro to use with it as itâs the only Apple Pencil that works with the new iPad Air/Pros
What about the m2 iPad Pro?
If youâre bothered about screen quality and weight in a way that would make you lean towards the M2 Pro, Iâd still pick the M4 if budget will allow. If your needs are just about pure processing power and the ability to have a 120hz screen, the M2 Pro is worth shortlisting.
I use Mini and its a great device with size and form factor. Why does Apple don't give Mini the Stage Manager support either by M series processor or in the same processor itself. That's the only feature which holds me back many times while multitasking or apps which are not native to iPad but only iPhone optimised. Also, it should give WhatsApp atleast similar to desktop version. Other apps like Telegram or Signal ate running fine on it. But as WhatsApp is the most used for many specific purpose its really sas that WhatsApp is not there.
Oh man I would LOVE to be able to run Stage Manager on the Mini.
have an ipad pro 2020, still donât see any point to upgrade
Thatâs the âproblemâ with iPads. Apple make them to last! Incremental upgrades make it hard for them to sell new units as the ones from 4-5 years ago work brilliantly. Itâs a good thing for the consumer!
Very nice video! I just wish apple releases a new ipad mini soon
You and me both Tori!!
Aside from all your points if you draw on the iPad period go for the pro. No ones talking about the latency of the air with the pencil. Havenât heard it from any reviewer most likely because theyâre not artists and havenât used it for drawings or youâre just reading specs âŠâŠâŠ.
Is it really noticeable? I tried it on both in store and couldnât tell the difference but Iâm not a digital artist!
@@ThatMarkGilroy Iâm sure if you try it again youâll notice the difference now thatâs youâre looking for it.
Which one will be great for an CSE Engineering students
Which ones are you already looking at? And is it in place of a laptop, or to sit alongside one?
I'm buying the 11 inch iPad Air because I think it's still just as powerful as the Pros. đđ» And it's not so expensive! Everyone keeps telling me though I need to buy the iPad Air 5 because it's pretty much the same but I want the newer model!
You can always tell them that (although the base specs are similar on both air models), itâs not just the new chip thatâs new. The M2 Air gives you the new centred front facing camera, Apple Pencil pro compatibility, 512B and 1TB storage options, and better WiFi/bluetooth. đ
@@ThatMarkGilroy that's how I feel too. I get people are suggesting it to help people save money but sometimes people just want the new stuff regardless đđŻđđ»
Newer model was $50 cheaper for me. I bought the 5th thinking the new one would be more than I wanted to spend. Luckily they made an exception and let me return it to get the new one
@KenWhiffeyJr Thatâs very lucky! Nicely done.
Ipad air 11 m2 with 256gb should serve well for 5yrs. But then 300 usd more i will have m4 chip. Personally I need something that will last 5 yrs with no issues (no space for update, slow down speed, freezing etc)
Iâd hang fire and see what they announce at WWDC in June. There HAS to be a reason theyâve put M4 in an iPad over just showing off. If Apple donât bump up ipadOS in a big way then youâll know the Air is the way!
All these comments and not one mentions repairability or serialised parts. Some people can have more money than sense, thinnest does not mean it's the best and you'll pay through the nose for extra ram, storage, better screen, nano something and molecular something else.
Wonder if they didn't showcase a new Mini cause theyr'e retiring the product like the Mini iPhone.
Hopefully not!
I donât see why the 10th gen should be called the Classic, nothing about it is classic or legacy. Itâs just an iPad Air 4 with some changes, mainly downgrades. The home button iPad 9 and previous could have been named Classic though.
I do think they need to rebrand the whole line. It is very confusing when the iPad Pros are lighter and thinner than the Air, which is near identical to the 10. I think they should do this
iPad Air becomes simply iPad, the main device for anyone
iPad Mini remains the same but gets a chip upgrade and hopefully display upgrade
iPad 10th gen becomes iPad SE, because it reuses parts from the older higher end iPads, just like the iPhone SE
My iPad Air 2 turns 10 years old this year đđ
Wow! I had that model too back in the day. Amazing that itâs still going strong.
Influencer or tech geek are interested in slimmer ipad and killing battery life and other innovative hardware to be sidelines just to accommodate slim version is becoming ridiculous to be called marvel engineering...the shape and design to be standardised and need more innovative and have better battery life rather then having the device with new firmware to control battery health
Absolutely. Iâd rather have a bigger battery over a slim design any day. Especially as these products are pretty slim already.
I hope AI feature works on older chip. Many people will be left out once ios 18 comes out.
Will the new ipad mini have an oled?
I hope it does...but I'd say it's pretty unlikely. The cost of putting OLED in that small a screen would make the price/profits unsustainable.
@ThatMarkGilroy let's hope they surprise us with it.

Watching in iPad Pro 6th gen..
I just bought an 11" M1 iPad Pro and it's great!
I'll upgrade to the M4 iPad Pro in 2027.
I bet itâs absolutely flying!
I bought an M1 12.9 iPad Pro 6 months ago. It's good enough for me and I'm thinking of the same upgrading path as you as well.
Hereâs my problem. I love the Magic Keyboard. I want the bigger screen (currently M1 Pro 11 inch) But Iâve been waiting for the refresh on the keyboard to include the function rowâŠand now itâs locked into the M4s only. I also appreciate the OLED. So do I upgrade for the keyboard/ OLED & size. Or do I stick with the M1 since all I do it emails/ surf the web/ & watch content on it đ ahh first world problems.
I keep telling myself i have no need to upgrade but here i am watching every CZcams video on the M4s seeing who can sway me one way or the other.
@@lizaeisenhart5783 My two pennies- if youâve got budget for the Pro but only want to use it for that, upgrade to the 13â air and get a Logitech combo touch keyboard. It has a function row and looks really smart.
I like iPads better than MacBooks because for me itâs nicer opposed to scoundrel lesser weight that you are carrying
Don't be surprised when apple announce iPad Pro M4 16GB 1TB storage can run Mac OS at WWDC. Lower storage IPad Pro M4 and iPad Air M2 with only 8GB Ram not included.
All eyes are on WWDC!
Highly doubtful about MacOS. But I do suspect there will be some great updates. I'm guessing for the native photo app more AI features to crop people, objects or change backgrounds. I'm hoping for more external monitor support and more freedom in the Files App.
What I would want way more than actual MacOS. Is a translation type software, think how MacOS uses Rosetta to use Intel programs. Why not ipadOS to use MacOS in a similar way.
There is also a small possibility of Sideloading. But MacOS itself is very doubtful
Iâve purchased iPad Pro 13 inch, itâs going to last me at least 4 years
Nice - I like that way of looking at it. It'll be ~$40 a month at that rate - not too bad!
For that much money its gotta last for minimum 6
What app were you using around 1:13
Ah - that wasn't me. It was taken from the recent Apple iPad event, where the CEO of Procreate showed how the live animation features work - pretty cool. More at czcams.com/video/LbIB-mCoLrs/video.html
@@ThatMarkGilroy thank you very much for the reply.
Iâm a student who has been saving up for an iPad preferably the air 4 but still struggling to have one up till now cause the ones sold down here are over priced due to inflation. What do you think I should do or is there any help I could get
@@danceg0d868 You do get a small discount direct from Apple. You can combo this with the certified refurbished section of their site to get quite a decent discount - I go into more detail in the download linked in the description.
@@ThatMarkGilroy thank you very much. But how am I meant to supposedly pay and have it delivered down to Africa
My iPhone Pro Max is my iPad Mini Pro đđŒââïž
I see what you did there đ
Going to upgrade from a Mini 4 to a Mini 6 and will buy from Apple Refurbished.
Nice! Enjoy!
2:55 iPad OS is not good for professional photography.
Interested in your take? You mean for taking photographs or as an editing machine?
@@ThatMarkGilroy Both really. To me, photos taken on Apple devices look great, but donât look professional due to the generic Apple processing. Since everyone has it, it doesnât look very professional (IMO). For editing, Lightroom for iPad slightly downscales images and is just slightly less robust in general. Still, photos taken and processed on Apple devices look great and itâs becoming increasingly difficult to take photos that look substantially better to the nonprofessional. AI is in the process of ruining photography anyway, so in a few years I think these arguments wonât matter.
@@Svoboda1234 Ah, I see. I didn't know Lightroom on iPad did that!
1:31 Apple just BOUGHT out ⊠wait what ?đł
My first I-pad 13" black reg screen M-4 Magic Keyboard and pro pencil 1tb black to compliment my (G) M1 MacBook air 8/8 16 gb 1 tb, love it.
Nice. And itâll look amazing in wireless screen mirroring mode next to your Macbook Air too!
I have to laugh at the idea one has to justify the need to buy the pro modelâŠ.is that same logic used for vehicles purchase or clothing for that matter? I think not! đ
Actually, I think would use the same logic for buying a vehicle. Thereâs no point buying a turbo powered sports car if all I do is drive to the local shops and back and back each day. Maybe thatâs just the way my brain works.
I hate to bringer of BAD NEWS, I believe the MINI is going away! Apple believes we NO longer need it now that the iPhone is almost the same darn size. Trust me the mini is getting AXED đą
If they bring out a phone that folds out to the same size, Iâm inclined to agree. I can see Apple doing that actually.
â@@ThatMarkGilroyas long as said foldy phone has a pen option which might require a hard screen. Couldn't see Apple licensing wacom tech.
If I wasnât a digital artist then the 11inch iPad Air would be my choice. However I need the high RAM & power of the 13inch iPad Pro and new pencil pro for my work - so I will have to start breaking into my piggy bank!
I wish I had such a strong reason to buy one - I was in the Apple store on release day and got a chance to use both the iPad Pro and Pencil- they're incredible devices.
All i want is a 120hz ipad mini to play games
You're preaching to the choir there mate! I would LOVE an OLED/120hz Mini.
@@ThatMarkGilroy god please hear us
IPadOS apps for me are better than web based apps on Mac
Good point. And lots allow for offline usage.
I guess itâs cool to act like you donât know what everyone else is talking about but at this point, Apple is the one who provided the stylus to interact with the device in different ways, Apple is the one who added the Magic Keyboard to make it more laptop like, Apple is the one who re-introduced a new keyboard with function rows to make it even more like a laptop. Apple is the one whoâs adding âpro appsâ to this device, every software refresh. Apple says that they arenât afraid of cannibalization, but they clearly are theyâre just marching there very very slowly.
In a previous video I described iPads as a 'solution in search of a problem'. I think this is still a challenge for Apple for all but the Mini...they invented a new category of device in 2010 and left customers to find ways of making it fit their lives/workflows. Bold, but it paid off. In the first instance.
But slowly there has been a shift towards introducing more laptop tropes into the iPad form.
Waste of the money I really love my fifth generation. iPad Pro is working as a new one unless if someone has money, they donât like to keep the bank spend on apple then go ahead.
Donât listen to everything that CZcamsrs have to say⊠itâs a tablet. Those CZcamsrs edit their professional work on laptops and desktops. People take notes, read, edit photos and videos, draw/sketch; you can do a lot for a consumer looking to make the most of a device. Be utilitarian and youâll get things done. Just know that for every tech guy obsessed about the specs and use case scenario there are non-tech women get more shit done on their phone and tablet. They would probably borrow your high tech stuff to get other things done. Seems more resourceful.
Not 100% clear on your point here? I think you're saying that we shouldn't make the iPad more than it is?
@@ThatMarkGilroyIâm saying that the utility of it is pretty good for what it is.
There is absolutely no reason in the universe for why a 13 inch iPad has the same app icon layout of a phoneâŠ.. it should run macOS.
I used a touchscreen monitor the other day using MacOS and the experience was ODD. Iâm intrigued to see what comes out of WWDC next month for iPads.
Which I pad are you are using đ
No prizes for guessing this one! If Apple discontinue the Mini Iâll grab the 11â Air.
You could buy new teeth for that.
I'd rather have a new iPad than te....
No actually I think teeth are probably more important.
Apple should at the very least allow their cult members to put macOS on the iPad. For $2k? Thereâs far far far better and more powerful options for tablets on the market.
Jesus loves you â€â€â€â€
don't buy
Any of them?
I wont upgrade my 11 inch iPad Pro M1 until December my M1 it still good to use the only thing i use my M1 most of the time is watchin UFC movies tv show and CZcams thats all i do most of the time with my 11 inch iPad Pro M1
I love Apple products, I have absolutely no complaint with iPad OS, the base iPhones everything is great, the only problem with Apple is naming pro motion, as Pro, this means we will probably never see, 120hz in base devices which is so stupid đ„Č. I mean I had used android devices before, I donât find it useful enough to switch to android, I used Android for almost a decade before switching. Now I ainât going back but I would love to have it
Waiting on the mini 7 which hopefully has the A17âŠ.đ„±
