Let me know what you think of the video!
Please also do a comaprison of the 2022 ipad pro (m2) vs 2024 ipad air
Good video,watchers a lot before i saw your video, i got te iPad Air because it’s cheaper then that no need insane m4 iPad , yeah i got the 13 inch and it’s to big bit i Will get used to it, finaly the thins you were saying Made all the sense in the world to me👍🏼
Belgian guy … hence the grammar
great review! crisp and sharp and direct to the topic. Thanks!
I need your wallpaper. Where to get?
This is the comparison video I have been hoping to see. I appreciate you showing the size difference. My iPad mini 5 has been great for the last 5 years but I’d like a wider option for spreadsheets. While I think LiDAR and some of the pro functions would be neat to check out, I’m mostly a causal user. Thanks for helping with the decision making process. I think I’ll probably go with the 11 inch iPad Air. And I was happily surprised to see Best Buy will give me half what I paid for my iPad mini as a trade-in.
Dang man that’s an awesome deal! Have you looked at the old iPad Pro though to see if you can find any deals? Going from the mini 5 to the m1 iPad Pro would even feel like a massive upgrade! Thanks for checking out the video
Loved this video. Very easy going yet informative. I originally purchased the M4 13” pro but exchanged it for the 13” Air. Biggest adjustment is no promotion but a larger iPad was the most important. Getting used to the 60hz and realizing that I’m enjoying it even more knowing that it’s a better value purchase.
Nice! Glad you like it! What do you do that you needed the bigger display?
this is the most sensible and methodical review for real consumers, talked myself out of buying a $1000 CZcams machine lol. good video!
Haha glad I could be of help! Are you going to get something else or just hold off for now?
I agree, went from the 12.9 iPad Pro (2nd gen) to the 13-inch iPad Air. I was so close to pulling the trigger on the 13-inch iPad Pro but came to the conclusion that if I wasn’t needing anything more (except battery life) from my 7 year old iPad there was no way I needed the Pro over the Air. Definitely made the right decision! I mainly use the iPad for content consumption.
I have the iPad Pro the limited with 512 gigs it cost about $1200 and it’s gonna be delivered tomorrow and I just think that is the best of way way too big. My big dog would lay on a big.
I appreciate you brother. One of the best thought out, non-repetitive reviews that's helped to make my choice (11' M4).
Good stuff. Thanks for the comparison!
For sure, thanks for watching
This is like one of the best REALISTIC comparison videos!
We get used to our devices and we will not compare them side by side except in the store 😅.
And to be be honest the pro motion on the the iPad Pro is „too fast“ for me. I actually enjoy the slow swiping part. It gave me a headache in the store when I was swiping on the pro.
Thanks for your video 😊
Hey I appreciate the kind words! Glad you found the video helpful
Hi Jon, awesome channel and very informative. Thx! When you make your youtube video, what do you use in your setup to create the depth-of-field / movie-like video effect? Maybe shooting with a DSLR for the video? Your insight would be amazing!
Hey! I normally shoot with three mirrorless cameras. I have a Sony A7iv with a 20mm f1.8 as my main camera, a Sony A7C with the sigma 24-70 f2.8 as my overhead camera and a Sony a6600 with the sigma 16mm as my C camera. Let me know if you have any other questions
Thank you, you really helped me made my decision. Last time I got the IPad Air and always thought why I didn’t get the ipad pro. Now I am definitely getting the new iPad Pro. I love my old iPad Air but always feel like it not enough for what I use it for and always regret not getting the iPad Pro.
Nice! You’re gonna enjoy it, the pro is awesome!
Great review! You never did a comparison between the two iPads regarding sound. Talking about the speakers, I used my iPad for music and mixing using DJ Pro for iPad!
After testing it there wasn’t a big enough of a difference to make a video about it. They sound pretty much the same which is amazing being that the new iPad is so much thinner
I use my iPad as my notebook (Goodnotes, OneNote). I currently have the iPad Air 4th gen, and I am extremely bent on getting the iPad Air 13". That extra bit of real estate might make note-taking experience a lot better.
Yeah it will be perfect for that!
THIS! This is exactly the comparison I've been looking for! The only factors that have been pulling me towards the Pro are the brightness, and the speakers.But even though I love the Pro much more than the Air, I cannot justify the price difference.
Yeah if those are your two main things the air is plenty good. Speakers don’t even sound all that different. What color air are you gonna go with?
If you haven’t used 60hz screens it makes a big difference. I haven’t used 60hz in years. I’m shocked apple is still milking it with 60hz screens which is pathetic if you ask me.
So in conclusion I personally could never use 60hz screens in 2024
Solid review my guy. I'm considering purchasing the 13" iPad Air.
Hey I appreciate it! You should do it, the air is an awesome iPad!
I plan on getting the 13" device since I plan on using it for notetaking for college and studying for my actuarial exams. I like using two notebooks at once right now with paper/pencil, so I'm hoping the 13" size will allow me to do the same with split-screen.
It’s massive so it just may!
Thank you. I am trading in a 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 inch and have been struggling to decide whether to get an 11-inch iPad Pro M2, an 11-inch iPad Pro M4, or just go with the Air. I do note taking, occasional gaming, and media consumption (Netflix, Max, Disney+, CZcams). I think I am sold on the Air! Now I just have to figure out what size!
Is it your main device or is a laptop your main device?
60hz on the air will irritate you a lot if you are use to 120 hz pro
Great to see & hear grounded comparisions between the various models. As much as I love new tech I can't justify $1000 when my Ipad M1 pro is still in pristine condition & more than capable of handling anytghing I throw at it.
Thanks for the compliment, I try to help people realize that you don’t always need to upgrade if your device doesn’t feel slow! That m1 iPad should still feel fast for a good while. Thanks for checking out the video!

great comparison that is actually sensible viable compared to other reviews
Thanks mate!
I am in the same dilemma 11 Pro vs 13 Air, currently with 11' Pro 2020.
But an important thing no one discusses, is sustainability of the investment. I use my iPads minimum 4-5 years and M2 is already 2-years old. So, I am worried how long this iPad Air will be supported with updates and whether after another 2 years it will become slow and clunky. As well as the base 128GB after a few years of use. M4 definitely has more years to live fresh and juicy. Glad to see other opinions.
Yeah it depends on what your budget is right now. When you spend more you’re really just buying a few years more out of the device, that being said old iPads still don’t feel slow so it’s really about how much you want to spend
I'm a heavy GoodNotes user - I mostly use my iPad Air 4 for note-taking for studying, classes and work. I owned the iPad Air 3 prior as my first iPad, but I passed it down to my brother since the first Apple Pencil is a pain.. 😂
Currently eyeing on that 13" iPad Air, that screen estate is enticing and I'd like to not have my hand feel uncomfortable when writing at the far right edge of the screen. 😬
If you use it for that then yeah the 13 is amazing! I mostly type my notes so I think the 11 is right for me. I love that Apple now has an iPad size that is right for everyone!
how long does ur ipad air 4 battery last using goodnotes? my drains completely in 3h30 without wifi 🧍♂️
Picked up the 13 inch pro yesterday, its amazing and the keyboard is definitely worth it
Nice! Glad you like it! What kind of work do you do on the iPad Pro?
Im a senior Facilities manager and a Real Estate Agent in New York. I edit all of my listing videos and pictures on the pro and I also use it to mark pictures and draw apartment layouts for contractors. The screen is perfect for when i have to hold meetings outside and use the iPad for illustration, used it today and we were able to see the screen without a problem. It’s an awesome tool for people that are always on the move and love digital note taking. Im one of the few people that doesn’t want macOS on the iPad. I got my son the 13 inch air and it’s a beauty. Reality is you wont go wrong with either one. The screen is definitely the only noticeable difference and it’s only when they are side by side.
@@justbeingadad2599 that’s awesome! Yeah as for most things you only notice the difference when you have them right next to each other. The promotion display is really nice though!
Torn between 11in pro and 11in Air. Will use for notes as a network engineering major, media consumption, as well as a lot of PdF, excel, and outlook email as I’m also military and plan to do work task on it. Any thoughts?
Great video by the way💯
Thanks man! I think you’d be completely fine with the Air. It’s plenty powerful!
@@JonAdamsTech I appreciate the advice advice I definitely spent 1hour in Verizon today and still couldn’t decide. Even thought about last generation pro vs the air. But I agree the price point is certainly hard to stomach which makes the air that much enticing
Just sold my 11-inch iPad Pro M1 with the 2nd gen Pencil for $400. Decided to upgrade to the new 13-inch iPad Pro. My main reason wasn't the performance but the screen size. I love the extra space for drawing, and the OLED screen blew my mind! Plus, planning to use it for at least 6 years, so getting the M4 is definitely a better move for future-proofing than the iPad Air M2. Excited for the upgrade! 😄📱🎨
Nice! Glad you were able to sell off that old iPad! Is the iPad your main device or do you also have a computer?
@@JonAdamsTech No, the iPad is not my main device. My main device is an ASUS ROG Strix Scar III with an RTX 2070, which I use for PC gaming, animation, 3D modeling, and video/photo editing. However, it's a heavy device, and with the charger and laptop, it easily weighs at least 5kg. So, whenever I travel, I carry my iPad to do all the work remotely.
That’s awesome, I love building desktop PCs. In fact, I’ve thought of starting another channel just for PC stuff.
You are one of the very few showing off the 11’ M4 Pro. Thanks brother. I’m determined to switch from ‘18 12.9 to the new 11’ and do my photo and video editing.
I have a large 16’ laptop and the 13 Pro is just big, right?
Yeah it’s just bigger than the 11. That’s my thought too, I’d rather have something not the same size as my laptop because if it’s close in size and power I’ll probably always go for my laptop over my iPad for real work. What laptop do you have?
Love this review.
Thanks dude!
You need to review the difference between the iPad Pro M2 (2022) and the iPad Air M2 (2024). I am struggling to pick one! It would be my first iPad too.
That’s coming out this week!
Hello Jon, just i Wonder if ipad 11 pro M4 technology has changed your mind about your most favorite ipad (ipad mini 6)???!!!
Haha nothing will dethrone the iPad mini 6! Still my all time favorite!
Have you gotten a chance to try any cloud gaming? Just wanna know how the M2 chip does, if it’s any better or worse than the IPad Pro 1st gen :)
Unfortunately I haven’t, sorry!
I went with the iPad Air 11” it’s the perfect size for me. Thank you for a great video.
Glad you like it, and thanks for checking out the video!
Looking into getting a iPad. The Air sounds great but man that 60hz screen is a buzzkill considering I'm used to 120 on all my other devices. So now I'm debating if I want to buy a brand-new iPad Air M2 or buy a older iPad Pro (2020-2022) models as they both go for around the same price point
Get the m2 pro! It’s an amazing iPad with the pro motion display
I’m sticking with my first gen iPad Pro 11”. For what I use it for it still does a good job. With prices continuing to increase I’d probably go for an iPad Air when my current iPad stops working.
Yeah the air really is in a sweet spot price wise!
I also still have my first gen iPod pro 11 and what can I say!? It does its job perfectly!!! I just would prefer a bigger screen lately, since I started taking notes and journaling more serious, but my iPad is working flawless!! Don’t want to give up on it and buy an 13 air now.
Also it kinda annoys me that the air doesn’t have a Face ID and just the touch sensor. It’s kinda stupid in my opinion. What’s your thought on that!?
I actually just returned my 13in iPad Pro 😅. I’m going to the the 11in instead plus it also has the oled display. The reduction in size should definitely be more comfortable plus I already have a 16in MacBook Pro M2 and don’t need another large device in my backpack weighing me down.
Hahah yeah and that 13 with the screen is insanely heavy! Also that 16 inch MacBook Pro is 🤌
Nicely done. Thanks.
Thanks man!
100% agree with you. iPad Pro is too expensive. And you can't even do the jobs that you do on Macbooks.
Yep! It’s insane. Do you have an iPad? If so whatcha got!
Thanks for video...I think the iPad 11 is the best option for anyone who need to read, write, take notes, (in-academia) do observations in field work/hospitals...I conclude this after yachting your video..plz let me know if I am correct.
It’s a great iPad! The good news is that you really can’t go wrong with any of them, it just depends on how much you have budgeted for the purchase
Great video!!! , after seeing a lot of videos about comparison, but the question is ; if I produce some reels, short videos, and a little photo edition, what iPad can u recommend, because I always see if im consumer iPad AIR and if i a producer then the pro, what do you think? THANKS!
Air
The air is still plenty good for everything you’re talking about. I honestly think the pro is for digital artists and/or professionals that are making solid money with their craft.
@@JonAdamsTech thanks a lot!!!!!
Bought the 11 Pro. This is my 6th iPad going back to iPad 1. I wanted to experience the OLED display and hated the position of the FT camera on the last. Pretty amazing edition of the product. I think Apple hit a home run.
Nice! Yeah it’s an amazing iPad, with so much tech built into it but man that price point is hard to stomach!
@@JonAdamsTech I hear you on the price, but if you compare the price on the base 11 pro vs the iPhone 15 Pro which is the same price it seems more reasonable. Fuzzy logic I know. Both are expensive.
I have M2 11” IPad Pro. Majority of the time I’m taking notes, use it as a planner, movie entertainment and occasional drawing, and Minecraft gaming. Figured the pro is more than what I need or paid for. When I spotted the M2 13” IPad Air, I really liked the screen size and seems a good fit. Wow. But….the masters program I’m going into this fall tells me I be using iMovie for editing videos. I already have M3 MacBook Pro 14” to use for that. I saw the 13” M4 and I’m torn by the price and it’s too much power for me I’d think. Any thoughts?
What matters more to you power or saving money? Thats what it really comes down to. The pro will also be good for another 2ish years than the air.
Right. Could have kept my 11” M2 iPad Pro. After purchasing the 13” M2 Air……I fell in love. I’d never thought the 13” is perfect fit for me. I tried the OLED 13”. It’s beautiful, but the screen gives me fatigue and headaches. Also couldn’t justify the price. I be using my iPad for grading students progress in classes, use it as digital planner, some art leisure, note taking and surfing the web. If I want a nice OLED or Neo QLED screen for movies and tv shows, I can get a 55” samsung Neo QLED tv for $1,300 at Best Buy, where as……it costs $1,300 for base 13” M4 IPad Pro. It’s a laugh!
I’ve got a 9th gen iPad that still works perfectly fine for me. The main reason I want to upgrade now is so my phone and iPad could use the same charger. 😂
Haha that’s almost reason enough to do it man
I just got an iPad Pro m4 13”. It’s expensive, over the top and limited my software. But I already have a great desktop and use an iPad many hours every day for work. Nothing taxing but I appreciate an iPad that can work as a laptop and although unnecessary, having a really device to use makes me happy
Nice! Glad it works for you! What kind of desktop you rocking?
@@JonAdamsTech I’ve got a Mac mini m1 and a custom, mini its pc
I traded a 2020 MacBook Pro I rarely used and my iPad 9th gen, to just use one device. I decided on the 13in air and can’t wait for it to come in.
That’s awesome! Did you trade them in to the Apple Store or just sell them on the after market?
@@JonAdamsTech traded at Apple, I know I could have got a bit more selling aftermarket but the MacBook had some issues that wouldn’t be worth selling to someone, and got 70% value of my iPad
Honestly the biggest mistake is comparing them side by side which no one will do unless they go to an Apple Store. They each target a different market. I think the Air is great for most people. For me personally, I already had an older 10.5'' iPad Pro, it would have been a loss of pro motion and quad speaker sound. I was very disappointed with the 2 stereo speaker sound on the iPad Air 13 M2. A lot of people do like larger screens so it's good that it's now available on the Air. But again based on portability and just sitting around using it, I would recommend the 11''. If saving money is your only goal then it's a no brainer get the air. If you want a bit better and have the ability to spend more and future proof yourself then you cannot go wrong with the iPad Pro. This same discussion happens between the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro.
Yeah that’s true it does. Good news is they’re both great devices and you probably will be happy with either of them. It’s a great time to be alive!
I mainly use my iPad for drawing in Fresco and for Photoshop use, I would like to stay in the $1000 price range. Would you recommend the 11in iPad Pro or 13 inch Air?
If you’re a big time artist I’d go with the pro, but if that’s just part of what you do I’d use the air. Do you have your work posted anywhere, I’d love to check it out!
Thanks! I don’t have any posted yet, but hopefully soon 😊 I ended up just ordering the Pro 13inch, I’m excited for it to get here.
Thanks for your videos.. I’m going to purchase one of these devices Saturday. Still not sure which one.. I’m leaving iPad Pro.. I think the 13” may be too huge hmm I dunno tho.. I’ll see when I get to the Apple Store
Yeah that 13 is really huge, not sure I could use it every day. Let me know what you end up going with!
The 11 is perfect size
@@JonAdamsTech I ordered the 11in pro.. my wife is picking it up as I type some she works near that mall.. can’t wait to play with it
Btw at the Apple Store they told me a lot of people were either buying the 11inch pro or the 13inch air
I had an iPad Pro from work until last year. To be honest, it was a €1000+ PDF annotator that I used to watch CZcams on from time to time. For any "real" work, I have to switch back to my Mac anyway. I would sometimes like to have an iPad again, but the iPad Pro is just not worth €1000+ to me to watch a video on the train every now and then. I would have really loved a green version of the iPad Air, but the blue version doesn't look bad either. Either way, I'd rather wait for WWDC before I buy anything to see if they finally improve iPadOS.
Yeah the prices are insane if that’s all you’re gonna do on it, which is pretty much what all people do, light work and media consumption. We will see if they make the OS any better, I love the iPad but man that operating system holds it back!
Even I believe that purchasing maxed out machines, when you’re not going to use half of the those features or capabilities, doesn’t make sense. iPad 11” is something I’d go for.
iPad Air or pro?
This is the video i was looking for. I cant decide between these two (In 256gb theres no big price difference). I really want bigger screen but pro 13inch its just too expensive. I have in plan to draw and take notes a lot so i would like bigger screen more (air 13inch) but the main thing why i cant decide is that my hands are sweaty a lot almost all the time😅😅 so in everyday use touch id on air wouldnt work as good as it should and it would be frustrating. Face ID would resolve this problem but i would have a bit smaller screen. So i would like to hear some advice from you what do you think would be better? Should I still get the air 13inch? Thanks in advance!
Yeah, I think you should get the 13 air. Have you used touch ID on the new iPads? It’s pretty sweet and I don’t know how much sweat would actually get in the way.
@@JonAdamsTech I havent used touch ID on the new iPads but i had been using touch ID in general and i remember that detecting my finger was a problem so thats why i suppose it would be problem on ipad air also which make me so undecided.
Apple has a really great no questions asked return policy. Get the air and if it doesn’t work make sure to return it before the two week period runs out!
I liked the idea of investing in the macbook air as compared to these expensive ipads. You could do much more with the macbooks.
Yep 100%
What is the difference between the iPad Pro four speakers and the iPad Air landscape speakers? I like the iPad Pro that I have with four speakers, because I listen to CZcams music and lectures?
They’re pretty much identical
what would it be more worthy, to buy the ipad pro M2 in 11" or the ipad air 6 13"?? they almost have the exact price, but the pro one is better than the air, talking about the screen. despite this, im looking for a bigger ipad than 11" and i cannot afford the ipad pro M2 in 13". what would u recommend me? is the ipad air 13" worthy or for that price or it would be better to buy the pro M2 in 11"? (ty for the review, i was needing it since apple released the new ipads)
Hey thanks for checking out the video. Personally I’d go with the m2 pro
amazing content my brother. Subbed
Thanks dude!
The iPad is incredible, I am a graphic designer and I like to draw a lot, I use Photoshop, Adobe Fresco, Illustrator, among others. But these programs require a lot of RAM and for what the iPad offers in RAM, it makes me back away. The most convenient for artists who use the iPad as their main and portable tool to work would be the 16 RAM iPads, but the price is very high lol.
Great Video! 😀
Blessings✨
Hey I appreciate that! So do you use a MacBook for all your work? I totally agree there should be more ram especially if they’re trying to make it a pro machine
@@JonAdamsTech Hey! I currently don't have an iPad and a Macbook, I built my own PC and I have a graphics tablet, that's what I currently work with, I would love to have the iPad Pro because of the portability and because it is a good tablet and lasts for many years. But it is a tablet with little ram capacity (8 ram at 1,000 dollars) the 16 ram seems very good to me but to get the 16 ram, you have to choose between the 1T or 2T, and its price is off base 🚀
i have the air 3rd gen(2019), i think this time i will go with the pro 11''. I have a windows laptop and i will wait to buy the mac mini m4(will be really cheap compared to macbooks).
Man the Mac mini is one of my favorite devices from Apple so that will be awesome! Hope you dig the 11inch! Is there a reason you wouldn’t just go for a MacBook Air to solve a few of those problems?
@@JonAdamsTech I use my iPad for taking notes, reading and marking up PDFs, and keeping everything in the cloud. I also love watching videos and series in bed with it.
Which one should I pick, I don't own a MacBook and will use it as a notebook, for watching movies and, a bit of editing too ?
If it's the only device you'll get then you may want to consider going for the 13 just to have that larger screen size.
what would u suggest for someone who has a m1pro macbook pro and a not a lot of budget
Just go with the regular 10th generation iPad. It’s awesome and super cheap
I’m also confused about getting which one - 11 inch pro vs air. I am worried if the pro motion might really be evident since I have a 14 pro with the pro motion! Testing it out at the store made me feel like the pro motion is evident! But it could be a placebo effect! 😂
Since it’s my first iPad, want to be really happy with what I get!
It’s definitely evident and if it’s a huge deal to you then get the pro, it’s not as big of a deal to me so I’d be fine with the air but it’s hard to beat the beauty of the pro’s screen
@@JonAdamsTech haha…that’s what I thought too! I’ll let you know what I decide! 🙈😂
I probably wait for Black Friday or later but when Im thinking on getting the iPad Pro 13 inch with pro pencil and Logitech combo touch keyboard cover
Nice! Its awesome!
This is the best review, I've watched like 20 videos on M2air/M4pro.
Picked the ipad air, cellular, 13" 128gb. I'm not sure if I should've got at least 256gb.
I think you’ll be fine with the 128, but you’re still within the return window so if you think you’ll use that extra space over the next few years, it may be worth the price for you. That iPad Air is an awesome iPad!
@@JonAdamsTech awesome, thank you for the advice, much appreciated.
Yep!
The thing is, there might not be a new one for a couple of years, so the last generation iPad Pro might still be a good value-except Apple has done it again with the new pro pencil. Can only be used on Air and Pro 2024 models.
Yeah that’s why everyone needs to decide if they’ll want to upgrade sooner than later . Thanks for checking out the video!
Maybe good idea to wait until clear what Features iPadOS 18 brings us , maybe then the M4 makes the difference. Also as alternative to take iPad Pro 2022 into account , to save money before choose the Air 2024. In the Moment my iPad Pro 10.5 is still enough. I take never the newest Models but I choose the Pro. Was worth the Money to spent for over six years of use.Nice devices with Long Support.
Yeah that 10.5 iPad still definitely holds up today. Thanks for checking out the video!
Now we know more. In the moment no big advantage to upgrade also if the iPad 10.5 not receive the new OS. In general the Air looks to be enough , but hard to downgrade the display if someone like me comes from the Pro line. In general the M2 should be more as enough for most users. In the moment I will wait and buy again a Pro but not newest Model and save money.
Can you read books with a 13 inch tablet ? How easy or difficult is it because 13 inch seems better for videos and 11 inch is better for reading and portability. What if we need both…do we have to decide one thing over the other ?
Not they’re both the exact same experience with movies and books.
Excellent review👏
Thanks!
If apple added a touchscreen option macbook or air it would be a no brainer. If apple allowed macos to run on tablets that might balance things. Seems to me that apple is not willing to port macos to ipad or touchscreen to macbook to preserve a market for both.
Yep it’s definitely a business move and while it’s frustrating I understand why they wouldn’t want to cannibalize an entire portion of their sales
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.
Go with the air if you want to get the maximum amount of time out of the device
@@JonAdamsTechreally? I know the price is ridiculous but i figured the pro would get updates for longer since it has a M-4 vs the M-2.
Maybe a good question would be: Do you need any of these new iPads at all? That would shorten the whole video to 5 seconds.
Probably not. They’re definitely right for some people. To think otherwise is a little silly
what do you think about an iPad Pro 5 Gen refurbished from Apple for $820? it is worth it?
That’s about normal, it’s a great iPad
Does the pencil work better for standard display or nano display ?
Unfortunately I didn’t pick up the nano textured glass. I don’t like how it messes with the contrast of the screen so I didn’t pick it up. Sorry about that!
I am waiting till wwdc to get an iPad if pros get significant upgrade then getting air m2 but if they don’t I’m looking at the mini or switching over to android and galaxy tab
I really really hope they do a new mini by wwdc, if they don’t I’ll be so disappointed
@@JonAdamsTech the new design, more powerful chip, Apple Pencil pro support, a better screen.
Great vid bro nicely told about both and also i love to see that you answering all the comments that’s great unlike other who ask for comment and don’t reply to your question. In my case i’m bit confused between ipad air 13” Samsung Tab s9 + and ipad pro m4 though i have iphone 14 and some other android devices with fast screen refresh rate and even ipad air 2nd generation and samsung tab A 10” but now confused which one should i go for can you just help me please 😊
Hey I appreciate it! Are you using it for work or just for entertainment? I suggest the m4 pro for work if you make money with your devices and air if it’s more for entertainment.
@@JonAdamsTech for entertainment purposes I want to go for long term so battery life and software update is the main concern and if I go for an ipad Air 13" does 60hz refresh rate and two speakers makes any difference
@@JonAdamsTechtoday went apple store and I compared both the ipad and man ipad pro was blazing fast and screen colour was amazing but you have the task my man you have both the device Air 13” and Pro 11” can you make a video on battery drain test or battery life it will be really helpful as no one has posted that video yet
@@sabjot9564 I haven't had any problems with the battery life at all on them, so it would be a pretty boring video haha they both last me a full day and that's all I really care about.
@@JonAdamsTechthanks brother you got me and helped me a lot and now I made the decision i am going to buy Ipad Pad Pro M4 11” 🎉 and for helping me I subscribed your channel really appreciate your kind support 👍🏻
How will the Pencil Pro perform on the Air compared to the Pro? I'm doing note-taking + math work, no drawing.
It feels a little more choppy because it’s not pro motion. Thats only when moving the lencil really fast
Where did you get the wallpaper in the iPad Air?
Check the link in the description.
Hi. Thanks for your video. I have some questions. I haven’t find the answer yet…May be you know…What about eye fatigue between the Air or the Pro (Oled)? Is one display better for the eyes? What is the good distance to keep between eyes and 11’ iPad Air and 11´ iPad Pro?
This may be relevant for those of us watching movies in bed with an iPad..
Thanks😉
I mean the iPad Pro has a better screen and will look better at lower nits of brightness and distance wise it should be the same distance you would have a laptop. Probably 18-24 inches away from your face.
I'm trying to figure this out too. PWM might also be a part of it. 120hz pro vs 60hz air. I think the lesser might be less triggering.
Which ipad should I buy 13 inch ipad air m2 or 11 inch ipad pro m4 for digital art and animation?????? And it will my primary device also Pls reply ❤❤❤❤
If it's your primary device, then that screen real estate is pretty important; go with the Air 13! I respond to all my comments so if you have any more questions just let me know!
You helped me return to reality. Now I can make the best choice for my purposes. Thanks👍🏽
Haha nice! Glad I could help!
I ended up getting the air 128gb in 11”. I wanted the pro but the cost difference is not worth it for what I’m going to do.
That’s a solid iPad!
Thank you for this! I have the Pro but I’m shopping for a friend. ❤❤❤
Nice! Which one do you think they’ll like?
@@JonAdamsTech
Using your video as a reference (and a few others) I wrote this summary. I think she’ll be fine with the air (or even the 10th generation). Thank you so much for breaking it down for us!

Tara’s final thoughts:
Accessories
1. I would consider nothing less than 256 GB of storage. But I use a fair amount of apps and music on my iPad.
2. Consider purchasing AppleCare (usually $149). It’s worth it.
3. Keyboard.
4. Can add cellular data (so all iPads come with Wi-Fi but you can add Wi-Fi plus cellular). Add $200 to the base price for this option.
5. Purchasing an iPad cover is a must.
Tara has:
iPad Pro (11” screen 3rd generation with 1TB of storage)
quick question does only one speaker play up top and two on the bottom? for the ipad air 13 inch
Nope it has two up top and two on the bottom
@@JonAdamsTech that’s strange my iPad Air 13 inch has only one speaker working on the top right the top left doesn’t have anything come out but the bottom 2 does.
I’m think getting a iPad Pro 11 m4 or the iPad Air m2 , same as this video. The reason is that I want a tablet only for watching , taking class notes , math problem. And typing essay .But my friend said the iPad Pro is smooth to write on it. And also a doing
Any clue what you’re going to chose?
@@JonAdamsTech got the pro
Was waiting for the new iPad 11 pro to come out, but OLED give me migraines. Not sure about PWM, perhaps also an issue. Bummed :(
Dang that sucks I’m so sorry to hear that! Do you know what causes it? Like why oled specifically does that to you?
@@JonAdamsTech It has something to do with the way OLED displays emits light, each pixel emits its own light, so flickering flashing bold contrasting light. LED is backlit and does not cause this same strain for me, less intense, pupils do not dilate as much. OLED can also an issue for those with epilepsy, causing seizures.
I’m a student and as of next year I’d be allowed to take notes on a tablet
Do you think I should go for the 13 inch m2 IPad Air with Magic Keyboard and pencil or should I go for a m3 MacBook Air?
Definitely the m3 MacBook Air. Better bang for your buck! Whatcha gonna study in school?
@@JonAdamsTech well I’m in Highschool so a bit of everything
@@SebastianK8 haha makes sense
i'm a college student and i wan an iPad for digital art and note making and also for making animations.
so for me 13 inch iPad air and 11 inch Ipad pro are around of same cost
Can you suggest me which i should get ?
Might as well go for the pro if you’re doing animation and art, you’re the 1% of people who the pro actually makes sense for!
@@JonAdamsTech if i go with iPad air m2, will i face any issues in performance in animations ( not that pro level )
Hello. What is the size in height and width of the 11-inch and 13-inch screen? I can't find that information.
Thanks in advance.
Google iPad Pro technical specifications and it pops right up!
@@JonAdamsTech Shows the size of the device, not the screen.
Really good review❤
Hey I appreciate it! Are you in the market for a new iPad?
im an artist so only way for me to go is the 13 with 256 or more. been running into a lot of layer limitations with my 4th gen pro and yeah i could buy an air or whatever but if im gonna spend a lot of money i might as well wait and then spend more to get the best of the best.
Yeah for sure, if you're an artist then it's totally worth it! You gonna pull the trigger on it?
@@JonAdamsTech yep i am but im not sure if im gonna do it now or later because im also trying to pick up a new car soon
Yeah and with how expensive cars are right now (depending where you live) it’s hard to pay for an iPad when you have a car need!
As digital artwork (Painting/illustration)Did you prefer iPad Pro 11 M4 or iPad Air M2?
You’ll definitely like the iPad Pro more, it’s for artists 100%! Do you do art, do you have it posted anywhere?
Very useful 🤝
Glad it was helpful!
Do you think I should buy the 11 inch or 13 if I am going to use it for drawing on it?
That depends, do you have a MacBook or another type of computer? Also is this something you’re doing as a hobby or professionally?
@@JonAdamsTech I don’t have any this will be my first and drawing will probably be a hobby
If i had 1299$ i would go for macbook coming with M3 chip 😂 btw nice video. Got information about these two ✌️
Haha same! Thanks for checking out the vid :)
I got the Air in purple last week, 11 inch. Upgraded from a 9th Gen ipad. (My 13 yr old daughter happily accepted it.)
Nice! What do you think of it so far?
@JonAdamsTech I haven't really had the time to play with it much. It was delivered on Friday and I've been working every day since then. But I love the ease of getting it set up and transferring my info from the old Ipad. My daughter couldn't wait for me to had over my old one, that is still in great condition. I plan to relax and play with it this weekend. And my Apple Pencil Pro.
Sir please reply
Should i buy I pad pro m2 2022 11 inch
Or i pad air 13 inches
For online classes and for note making stuff
iPad Air all the way
I don’t care if I won’t take full advantage of the iPad Pro 13 in i have the M1 iPad Pro in. I love it I use it everyday over my iPhone when I’m home. The oled display itself is worth a upgrade OLED is king
Yeah I mean oled is pretty stinking amazing and 1000 nits of sustained brightness is no joke
Made a comment on one of your videos yesterday. Prefer the 11inch. Thought about upgrading from my M1 Pro to M4 11inch but will wait and keep my M1. iPad OS not powerful. Use my Mac as a computer and iPad for light work.
@@DavidWilson-lo9qn Well i appreciate you commenting on this one as well haha! Yeah I have the m2 iPad pro and haven't ever felt like I've given that thing a run for it's money
According to the price, I like the 13-inch iPad Air, but still think its screen refresh rate is too low, considering that this year is 2024!
Yeah for sure, once again Apple holds back so that next year the base model will get 120hz and the pro will get 240hz haha
I need to record sports games for my team. Which would I need?
If you want to do that on an iPad you could go with the air or pro, you won’t need the wide angle lens so it doesn’t really matter for sports
13 inch Air m2 vs pro m4 11 inch ... Which one is better for sound ?
Like the sound of the speakers?
@@JonAdamsTech yeah ...sound of speaker
They are almost identical.
I guess the timing was right because my 9th generation iPAD suddenly stopped charging and Apple couldn’t fix it. I bought the 10th generation and then a week later took it back and got the iPAD Air 256 GB and I love it.
Nice! What color did you go with?
@@JonAdamsTech I went with the purple colour
The Pro has thinner benzels than Air 13"?
Just looking with my eye they are very very similar. I think they found the sweet spot of being as thin as possible while still giving your hands something to hold onto
I am planning to buy an ipad but i am confused which one to buy Ipad pro 11 inch m2 or ipad air 13 inch m2 or ipad pro 13 inch m1? 🤔 btw love from India 🇮🇳
Personally I like the 11 pro m2
Thank you for keeping to 100% real.
For sure!
Sir ipad pro 11 m2 or ipad air 13 (notes taking)
Air13
