      ​@@nirabenhamou6829 Well, the iPad OS in general is useless for Engineers, Developers, Creators and many other professions wherein it claims to be a workstation but doesn't deliver on that promise completely. iPad has no terminal, no proper file system, no third party app support (like mac or pc), and so much more is missing including features compared to the desktop suite of equivalent software (like Davinci Resolve). Unless you have a clear use for the iPad Pro or you are rich, it does not make sense to get one, especially since like me, an iPhone and Mac get the job done much better and faster. Apple needs to focus on the user's experience otherwise no one, except creative professions will take it seriously. Artists or non-serious music/video producers with enough money should buy it without a second thought. WWDC might introduce new multitasking features, AI features, which might be a nudge in the correct direction, but still, as a loyal apple user, the walled garden is at its highest and it absolutely sucks! At this point, I'd pay a subscription fee for them to "allow" me to use any app I want on my iDevices.

    All valid points, Drew. In 2018 I bought the brand new redesigned iPad Pro and to this day it still looks and feels brand new. There is no slowness whatsoever. Even though I paid a lot for it, I've gotten 6 years of use out of it. So yes, there are better deals out there, but buying a refurbished iPad Air is not going to give me the same longevity and usefulness. It's like Rene Ritchie always says. You buy the best product you can afford and then you love the heck out of it for as long as you can.

      I have tried to ask people to name a single thing the new iPad Pro can do that one from 5 years ago can't.... I think the only answer I get is like ray tracing. Anything else is mostly just related to Apple software gatekeeping not actual limitations of the hardware

    I got the deal of a lifetime last July for an M2 12.9” iPad Pro with 512 gigs, an Apple Pencil 2, and a Knock off Magic Keyboard that works great for only $700. It’s such an amazing device I don’t expect to upgrade for 10 years, especially with the useless changes Apple is making.

    Craigslist has 6th gen 13” iPad Pro with m2 chips for 700-750. Luckily, my 2018 pro is getting the next update and works so well. I’m not upgrading for another year and a half.

    In 2021 I picked up the 2018 iPad Pro from the Apple refurbished page. It came looking and feeling brand new! And of course, has been serving me pretty well for these last few years

    I got a brand new 11” 2TB M1 iPad Pro for like $900 a few months back - was definitely clearance where I bought it in fairness (so you probably won’t be able to land a deal like that), but it’s a substantially better value than just about anything else you could get (as somebody who depends on not running out of storage)

    Hey, very logical argument but it is missing one thing, trade-in’s.
    If I trade in my iPad. The price of a M2 128GB is right between a M1 64Gb and M1 256 GB.
    Is that a coincidence? It looks like pricing ladder to me.

    I am a  iSheep and always buy the latest and greatest but with iPads it seems just not worth it.
    My iPad replaced my MacBook and I use it for hours daily and take it on every travel.
    I had a 2015 12.9” pro since release and loved the size. In 2020 when the A12Z with lidar got announced, I bought the 2018. It’s nearly identical.
    Now, 1 year ago, as the M2 iPad pro was announced, I got the M1 on sale. Fabulous display.
    I keep using it for long, the M1 won’t ever be too slow in the iPad…

    As an actual professional user for the iPad product. One of the absolute most critical features I need, 5G support, was downgraded on the new pros. I will be keeping my pro M1 chip with mmWave for a long while longer because I need the best cellular support I can get. I just doubled down too and purchased a second M2 iPad AFTER the most recent launch.

    I use a base model iPad 9th generation and a keyboard case for a total cost of less than 300 with tax included. Doesn’t have pro motion, no laminate display, no mini LED or OLED, but it can play CZcams and all the modern apps work. More than enough for me and I feel all those features to justify the higher tiers is nice, but unnecessary.

  • @Whispicous
    @Whispicous Před 18 dny +1

    I think there should be only one type of iPad model and that’s the iPad Pro. And it should reduce in price each year a successor model launches by 100 dollars.
    So, the 2018 11 inch iPad Pro would be like 399 dollars
    The 2020 11 inch iPad Pro for like 599 dollars
    The 2021 11 inch iPad Pro could be like 699 dollars
    IMO, even the 2018 iPad Pro is better than the latest iPad Air in some regards, and it’ll most probably support software for another 2-3 yrs at least

  • @ArtelindSSB

    Since the iPad has Face ID, I don't understand why it does not have an option to set up a personalized spatial audio profile. Even though it says that it is for iPhone X or later, they should have included iPads with Face ID.

  • @kaiichinose9590
    @kaiichinose9590 Před 18 dny

    I will most likely get one. I haven't bought an iPad in over a decade. I will get the 13pro 1tb. I don't need mac os but I'd like to have something like what samaung offers in their tablets like the dex mode. I will always get oled over anything. I do digital art and music so it works great for my needs. They need to get rid of the air title and just stick to mac book and pro same with ipad considering the pro models are lighter than the air ironically.

    I bought a 4th gen iPad Air refurbished instead of anything from the new lineup, aside from a newer more power-hungry chip, they’re basically the same tablet. Saved a few hundred.

  • @andresayala1744
    @andresayala1744 Před 5 dny

    I want to get a larger iPad to use at home and keep my iPad mini to go out. However, I don’t want to get the iPad because of the A14, my iPad mini has the A15 which will make the iPad feel like a downgrade. The M2 iPad Air doesn’t support my Apple Pencil 2, and I don’t want to get another pencil. I would love to get a M1 iPad Air, since it is more powerful than my iPad mini, but less powerful than my 15” MacBook Air M3.

  • @Max-xl9qv
    @Max-xl9qv Před 18 dny

    2:22 - hmm, my father learned video editing on iPad Pro (CapCut), with almost no help from me, making home videos shot on iPhone, and his projects grew to the point where the M1 doesn't provide silky smooth workflow experience. iPad Pro proved to be the right tool, while i avoided even considering teaching my father the Premiere on Windows, that would be quite painful. For those creating, the Pro upgrade is very welcome. And it will be a bomb if they make it run MacOS.

    I agree face id should be included in the Air but the price difference is notable between the Air and Pro line. So idk if I agree. $400 between a 12.9” Air and Pro is a lot.

  • @damonasberry288
    @damonasberry288 Před 18 dny

    These are some fair points, and normally I don’t buy new. I almost exclusively buy Apple refurbished. In this case, I traded in for a new 12.9 Air exclusively for the pencil pro. I do art and design on my iPad and the new features will be very useful. With that being said, I refuse to pay for the new pros. Just too expensive! I’ll wait a couple of years then upgrade to the M4 for cheaper.

  • @unkown34x33

  • @YashAtishay
    @YashAtishay Před 18 dny

    In place of the budget iPad I urge people to consider a used mac book, those 12inch models are now much cheaper, in India at least most of them are cheaper than the iPad 10th gen new from Apple. And being a macbook it can do a lot of things that the iPad can't and also comes with a great track pad and a meh keyboard but at least you are not paying extra for it

  • @user-ql9ru2cv9h

  • @Michael-ur5qb
    @Michael-ur5qb Před 5 dny

    If you replace your tech every 3-4 years refurbished makes a lot of sense. Idk about getting an M1 in 2024 if you plane on keeping it 6+ years and want updates. That would be my only concern getting refurbished.

  • @nylotical
    @nylotical Před 18 dny +1

    There is no way I would buy a new iPad Air over an m1 or m2 iPad Pro. That 120hz, power, and ram, I use for everything I don’t feel like doing on my M3 Pro MacBook Pro because I can’t get myself close all of my safari tabs 😅. Should’ve went for that 36gb but it is such an expensive jump.

  • @phykios
    @phykios Před 18 dny

    Just recently purchased my first iPad after contemplating buying one. I decided there’s no point in a brand new one so I bought the Certified Refurbished iPad Pro 12.9” M1 for the price of £850. After getting it, I’ve loved it and laughed when they announced the new iPad Air 12.9” for $800. I also cringed when they announced the new iPad Pro’s thinner design as I find myself fearing my iPad will snap in half with how thin it is, and don’t even like the thought of it being thinner it just feels so wrong but I believe JerryRigEverything will have a fried day with this new iPad Pro thinness.
