Ever since Apple released their surprisingly powerful M1 processor, they've been putting it into everything at all different levels of performance. The Apple iPad Air finally gets one after its bigger brother the iPad Pro, but does it really make a difference for the price?

Riley's rant about USB totally made this video 😂
to be fair, those people creating the naming should... go to hell 2 gen 1x2 oh I man hell 2 gen 2 2x1....
yeah what is up with usb naming bs
the usb namers are hopped up on magic mushrooms. OI!
@@michaelwood9866 those from HDMI did use the same stuff, probably... (just less ;) )
Compare with the iPad mini
Thank you, USB Forum, for making USB names complicated as hell
You are a couple of years late.
I liked this video just because I enjoy watching Riley, I miss his crazy brother too.
Barret was fun, I miss him too
The vibe in these Apple unboxing vids has been very laissez-faire and I'm here for it.
Mdr je connaissais pas cette expression
Untrue, there isn't any slavery.
Them including the deep cut of when James accidentally started to stream is why I love LTT
When was it? So... not the moment in the video, but when James accidentally started to stream :)
Funny that power adapter are still shipped with iPads although "this has a significant impact on the environment"
because the box has to be big enough for the iPad anyway. The environment line was just a distraction apple and other phone manufactures use. For a product the size of an iPhone, by removing the power adapter they can significantly reduce the size of the box and thus fit more of them per container ship/transport more weight in the same space. With current freight prices they are saving a fortune and is why other companies quickly followed even if they were hold outs up until 1-2 years ago. In a product the size of an iPad, removing the power brick does not provide a similar space saving opportunity.
@@jsteezus This. And a chance for an add on sale.
I truthfully think it's because unlike the iPhones, most iPads have switched to USB-C.
@@narwhal4304 I kinda like it to have Type C come with my product
How many iPads does Apple sell? How many iPhones? That has something to do with it, for sure.
I’m guessing this means that the upcoming iPad Pro will switch to the M2.
Nah… it’s gotta be the M1 Pro that’ll be in the next iPad Pro. Apple is probably gonna ride the M1 Series for a few more years.
Once they decide to upgrade to the M2 series, I bet they’ll announce the regular, pro, max, and ultra variants at the same time. 🤷🏾♂️
@@yoyoyodavo tbh, them releasing the pro and max variants about a year later gives them the time for feedback and improvements on the first iteration
@@yoyoyodavo if they put the m1 pro in the ipads, the macbook m1 pro buyers would really be angry. lmao. but i hope they put the m1 pro and even m1 max. hehe.
I’d rather have Apple include more features into iPadOS before they come out with a new iPad pro. The damn 2021 is already too fast for iPadOS, and as an owner of one I’m still unable to fully take advantage of the M1. Hopefully IOS 16 will change that.
@@yoyoyodavo the power draw and size of the m1 pro would probably be to much for an ipad the m2 is going to be more power efficient, not to mention the cooling the m1 pro needs a fan
Damn, still remember buying an ipad 2 32GB Cellular version for OVER $800! And then buying an ipad 3 (retina) 32GB Cellular version 2 months later for ANOTHER $800 because I was stupid and didn't know the updated model was being released a month after I bought the 2...
Funny thing is, the ipad 2 STILL WORKS! While the ipad 3 (retina) stopped charging and will no longer turn on.
My grand parents still using their iPad 2 as well lmao.
I still use my iPhone 4s as an iPod! Which is crazy because I have gone through three iPhone 5/5s in the same amount of time! Like what did they do to these things, that they got rid of on the others?
Wasn't 3 the one that overheated? That's probably why it stopped working
@@footsorebird0365 I wouldn't be surprised if moving to the taller screen reduced durability. Since it was more long and less wide. Which is probably why the ditched the all glass
I just replaced the battery in my iPad3. It was running great until the digitizer cracked, which why I opened it up. Putting in a new battery was just a bit of preventative maintainance.
those 2 need to do more videos together. that was the most I ever laughed in all LTT videos
The mustache guy is the most cringe try-hard on the internet.
@@RomekTheCreator i completely disagree. the banter between him and the camera guy was fantastic and pretty hilarious. its an unboxing video. its very boring so you need to spice it up
I had a 10th gen iPad czcams.com/users/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA . Felt it getting pretty slow at times even after doing a reset. So I am using that as a tablet for my 5 year old son and got this 9th gen version. MUCH faster, a little slimmer, smaller bezels, all around a leap forward. Plus, for the price that’s about $130-$150 cheaper than a current new model this is a nice deal. I look forward to the M-series CPUs coming into iPads which will really help future proof these tablets better but these latest CPUs are pretty strong and should do better to last several years with no compromises.
I swear the A12X from 4 years ago is still plenty fast enough
Some people really need the extra power.
It really is, for iOS is still gonna be solid for the next 3 years, same with the slightly faster A12Z
@@saud..- With an operating system that limits you with their proprietary apps and a limited app store? It's not that great to be honest with even a really fast processor, I really want MacOS on it. JingOS has shown how Apple could make a better OS for the iPad, hell, even Android has shown them that. A 2018 iPad is perfect enough.
My A9 iPad 5 is still fine, it’s really surprising.
I have one of those. It runs the mobile version of player unknown battlegrounds better than the PC version my RTX 3060 runs.
Riley is excellent. I do miss NCIX's tech news channel, but with Riley at LTT, life is fantastic.
You know we have Techlinked now right?? LTT's own tech news channel hosted by Riley, just like the old days.
The iPad was good, but I'm really wanting the full version of "Patina" by Riley.
Same. What's his artist name? Also nice Robin amiibo, Riley!!
It's a lovely idea having high speed transfer rates on the ipads. Except every time i open the files app and use an ssd, everything bricks up. Files app freezes. It's been a constant problem, it's never improved, and i don't understand why it's never discussed. As of right now, transferring files to an external device isn't a functional thing. But maybe all my external devices and ipads are just broken.
What files are you transferring? I've been using iPads since the iPad 2 and have never had any problems with transfering files and using them.
Why would you transfer files to an external drive?! Just use iCloud /s
Yeah it's sad how file transfer is so complicated on an iPad in 2022, but my jailbroken iPad FIRST GENERATION transfers consistently and stable.
@@kmoecub doesn't matter. I open the files app, tap on the ssd, and it freezes.
@@reganbrannigan3006 video files? That would take ages
"Everythings better than a lightning port!" You should make this an actual jingle and submit it to the iTunes Store. Lol
1:48 - a family member has a rock solid one, but for me, i've had to replace ipads twice now and it still has issues, there's definitely a build quality issue with their initial run. first one had sparks flying out the battery charge port (static discharge maybe? idk), 2nd and 3rd ones have a creaking issue where if you twist or press it with slight pressure on the back, some part of it makes sounds and wobbles from the back chassis. this 3rd one literally has the battery see-saw back and forth from pressure on the back, probably due to the removable battery strips instead of glue.
since no one is buying the initial first run (because the last gen is going on huge discounted sales) they're still having issues 3-4 months later, even with the replacement units.
I am not an apple user by a longshot. I'm team android and google through and through... EXCEPT if anyone asks me for a tablet specifically, I feel like the Apple iPads is where it's at. There is simply no competition in the sleek look and great usability feel. My mother's iPad 1 still works today.
The USB Implementers Forum need a clip around the ear and mandatory attendance at a basic numeracy class. Madness.
Really need to hear the rest of his free style about lighting ports.
But this iPad has usb C so what’s your point?
🎶Every thing is better then a LIGHTING PORT 🎶🤣🤣🤣 need more
Never have I ever release how much Ned Flanders dancing to crab rave was missing from my life
Riley's "Patiina" song reminded me of Sheldon playing Bongos.. 🤣🤣
I have the leather skin on my 12.9” iPad Pro and can confirm it disables contact with the Magic Keyboard… apparently there’s a blurb at the bottom of the leather skin purchase page that says it won’t be compatible with the keyboard anymore once you use the skin lol 😪
The CZcams UI not wanting to go away is a known issue. But fixing it doesn't involve advertising or tracking you so they don't care.
i think its funny how every tech channel ridicules USB and HDMI naming in a merciless way just like it needs to be because even as a tech enthusiast its freakin confusing.
nothing I love more than a highly capable chip crippled by over restrictive software that can't take advantage of it.
Then just get the MacBook Air if you can’t find a use for it
@@rdvgrd6 No. I don't wanna. I want my tablet experience to be better, because all the pieces are there to make it better except for the will of the corporation that makes it. I love the iPad. The iPad has more potential than the Mac for the average consumer who is currently served by the MacBook Air. Apple is limiting that potential, so as consumers, we have a right to call for Apple to change course and give the iPad its due
@@Gilamath. apple will never make an iPad run MacOS
There are technical reasons why apple is staying away from it aside from conspiracy theory that apple is trying to milk money from you.
Apple will be happy to cannibalize their own product if they can innovate and disrupt the industry.
Making an iPad run MacOS isn’t one of them. It’s a step backwards.
You’ll just get an inferior desktop experience with MacOS on iPad. Every single implementation have experienced that this far. There’s only so much your thumbs can do to manipulate small desktop gui elements. It’s not suited for tablet.
Apple has a long term plan like they did when they revealed M1. It would be foolish to think they are giving out M1 iPad Air just because they could.
@@RunForPeace-hk1cu an inferior desktop experience is better than no desktop experience. I mean, when I'm using desktop mode on my Surface Pro 99% of the time it's got at least the keyboard and trackpad plugged in, if not a mouse as well. If you've got an air or pro with a magic keyboard sitting on your desk there is no valid reason why that device shouldn't be able to run Mac OS.
@@RunForPeace-hk1cu all due respect friend, but… huh? Who said MacOS? MacOS is not the goal here. We already have a phenomenal MacOS M1 device. Several, in fact. I want an M1 iPad Air or iPad Pro that fully utilizes the hardware in a sensible manner. MacOS is not that, as you spent lot of time explaining sensibly, albeit in response to a point I didn’t make
Right now, the M1 is simply better in a laptop. It yields better battery life, better real-world performance, and more flexibility in use case. I could understand if Apple wanted to dial down the performance of the iPad M1 to make it a better fit for portability. But they haven’t. They haven’t put in the work to make these two revolutionary advances in computing fit together correctly. And the main hinderance to that is the current state of iPadOS
Maybe they need to split iPadOS into a consumer-grade and a pro-grade OS, maybe they need to discontinue support for the old, underpowered iPads, maybe they just need to work on cleaning up the back end. But for sure they need to do something if they want to pull the potential out of these devices
M2 must be around the corner if Apple is slapping it on everything.
The ending was super smooth..!
man keep doing it, love u riley
I demand a full Riley patina song!
That was absolutely the face of a happy man. love the Riley energy...
Love they tossed in the reference to the accidental WAN show
14:08 You take that back! I ain't no deer!
11:10 you can actually use the iPad Air with the bigger version of the Magic Keyboard. You just have to press the connectors from the iPad and the Keyboard together, just like the magnets would. It works, but it doesn’t holds onto the keyboard at all.
I still didn't understood the new USB naming convention.
Riley, you will have to make a full video explaining it :p
Riley's first "ooooh" as soon as the video starts sounds exactly like the start of 'I See Fire' by Ed Sheeran
Riley... we need your two new EPs to come out soon. "Patina" and "Lightning cable" please, thank you
Got that skin on my note 20 ultra. Actually ordered from Romania, wasn't disappointed, fully recommend
I have watched that many short circuit videos that i know when Riley is gonna tell a few words form sponsor 😂
Is that clip of James from the unplanned stream? 🤣 Thanks for bringing that back.
Riley, You should try reviewing a Galaxy Tab S8 with Dex Mode - seriously I have switched from an iPad Air to a Tab S7 and it's freakin great, especially that I can make calls from it and use it mounted as my infotainment system for my car! And I can make calls and text from it without my phone on me unlike Apple iPad bullcrap
Aaand TBH I loved the iPad, but it felt to me like an always limited device...Connecting to monitor, multitasking, copying files from my dslr - waay better on S7. Phonecalls also were a deal breaker to me as 50% of the time I didnt get any on my iPad from an iPhone.. and in Samsung I just have a sim card and it calls like a regular phone but with bigger screen :)
I am the opposite. I switch from the tab s7 to the iPad.
@@doomy_doomy2225 Pro or no? :)
Because you can tailor Android to your needs. It feels like YOUR device, as opposed to using Apple products: it feels like it's still theirs and you're just dealing with how to use it.
@@HerrDerpington apple Strict Control on Its ecosystem turns its users into digital slaves
I think all day battery means, you can use it between hours, and it’s standby battery usage is quite low. Like, even on this iPad 5th Gen, it can last all day on a full charge, because sometimes I have it idle and locked for 30 minutes between some usages
I'm setting Riley singing "CHANGING COLOUR WHEN YOU RUB LEATHER - PATINA!" to my alarm clock ringtone.
That uraverage consumer shoutout though 😳💯
I REMEMBER Riley's iPad reviews back in the day. God they were so good.
add a bit of solder to the folio connectors
USB NAMING IS BROKEN. They seriously just need to start over.
(Also, Riley's "Patina Song" was wonderful. I love that guy.)
I was actually shocked at how good the speakers on my mom’s iPad Air were, especially compared to my iPhone 7 Plus.
I love how it ends with Riley basically recommending 99.9% of regular people you just get the current cheap iPad instead.
Which I feel like is probably totally true. An absolutely a cherry on top of this not review, review.
Tablets have been criticized for lacking functionality over the years and it hasn't changed. iPads (and tablets in general) are still overblown phones and laptops beat them for actual multipurpose use. Would love to see a tablet-like user interface and battery life with the added functionality you get with a full fledged OS on a tablet.
@@anomuumit
Yep, I feel the exact same.
I still very much like tablets but I couldn't agree more as far as their functionality goes. We still haven't gotten a true replacement for a desktop/laptop though we keep getting closer and closer.
It's definitely going to be a software thing and I can't help but wonder will it be Microsoft,Apple or somehow a third company that I can't think of that has a ton of money to pour into
software R&D. The way I am looking forward to it being much better in the future though I can't help but wonder how long it's really going to take.
I highly approve of letting Riley go off-script. Best parts of the video.
Riley is amazing, he always makes me laugh so hard
I want more Riley video's :(
13:34 Loved this part, Riley please never change.
I could listen to this man for hours
Impatiently waiting for Tab S8 Ultra unboxing
This is the way for LTT to do Apple review as apposed to Mac Address which I think follows more of the Apple style as apposed to the LTT style
I missed Riley’s reviews:)
The best part was the one about USB standards
It's still the same limitations of the OS as the iPad Pro's use and the base model iPad use.
Well yeah because they all run the same OS…but the hardware limitations are much less substantial on the air than on the base ipad
@@greylawson6352 there's no limitations. It can run all the same apps as the M1 iPads even if slightly slower.
@@MrRinre . Slower is a limitation, but I get what you are throwing down.
The problem is the ridiculous limited unprofessional nondesktop-like kiddy-granny OS, that lacks real powerful software capabilities.
@@petrixzsevenz2123 Well that isn't really apples fault. Developers could put the entire Adobe suit on the iPad, they could even make it identical to the Mac version. Hell they run the same hardware now. They just....don't. I use my iPad pro for lightroom mostly, and then lumafusion and affinity photo. Fantastic and very powerful apps. Other than that and note taking I don't have much use for it. Sometimes I connect it to the TV to mirror the screen. Or just for watching videos or reading. If the iPad didn't have those three apps and the pen I wouldn't really see any use in the device tbh.
A13 in the base iPad is the iPhone 11 Pro processor. It's still veryfast. Can easily edit video, etc. on it. It's the same speed as the Snapdragon 8 chip in the latest $1000+ Samsung Tab S8 tablets.
sometimes i watch LMG channel reviews just for the humor lol
thank you LTT for sending the apple M1!
The world needs more Riley
More Riley on every channel please
Anyone else out there miss the simple days.. back when we had a home button and an Aux jack?
Meh, not really (writing this on an iPad with a home button and an aux Jack)
the best iPad for the money, the base model, has both of those. It's a solid buy
*Riley's chaotic energy feeds my soul*
Got to say, I think the unboxing channel should have unboxed it IMO
Is this good for productivity and for music production? pleas answer
Oh wow real leather? That's pretty sick dbrand!
Missed the opportunity to insert images of a Gentoo penguin and stacked burgers during the USB naming rant
The changing color property on a material is not called patina, that is called chatoyance.
CACKLED at the petina song. 🤣
If more than half of ipads are going to have hypervisor accelerators, just give us a hypervisor framework to use them in ipadOS. If I can just jump into a linux dev environment, I'd justify upgrading my ipad more. I just feel weird buying tech I can't work on(even if it would hardly ever come up where I have the ipad but not a laptop somewhat close)
0:51 NFT's Batchest
Do we get anythign if we use your link for D-brand?
Well luckily, Apple is slowly making iPadOS more intuitive while keeping that simplicity that Apple devices have. They finally unlocked the ram a bit more for the 16GB pro. Maybe soon we’ll get some sort of 12GB ipad Air? XD
Never change Riley, except for the better, but this video was perfect, so don't change the things you were doing in this video.
The "patina" song deserves its own youtube channel
Everything is better than a lightning port and I agree 🙂💯.
I really like my iPad 9, the only stupid thing is the split screen is vertically separated when using in portrait... who needs 2 very vertical apps??
Does this iPad have a dead pixel in the bottom left corner? 6:06 onwards..
Does nobody find Riley's singing beautiful, during the dBrand bit?
Riley's voice is beautiful.
8:22 im DYING (rip bessie tho)
So 4:44, - the rant about USB...😂I'm just going to call it 10Gbs USB. or 5Gbs USB.
I want the full length Paul Simon-esque “Patina” song.
Ah y'know, with the bomber jacket and the cap, I now get the dad joke character that you're playing with that moustache.
Riley is a LEGEND!!!
That oooooh at the beginning sounded like the beginning of Ed Sheerans - I see fire :D
I have the same problem while using CZcams on Safari the controls don’t go away sometimes they do but sometimes they are stuck
can i use the ipad as my second pc for streaming and i can just edit my videos on it lol. i wonder if input director works with the ipad and windows lol.
0:38
Andy: Your jacket's too loud!
Riley: Ahhhh!
Me: *wot*
iPhones do not need USB-C :V
Those things charge well with lightning anyway. Only things that need them, are iPads since they have such big butteries, and take a bit more power I guess.
Mostly. Because I do not like how there is no quick way to tell which USB-C does what. I want one that can do data and charging, and another for charge only, but they don’t have quick visual signs of which they do.
The only issues, is that lightning is USB-2 not 3 or 3.1 or even 3.2 which is mostly because of limitations (mostly because of the pins) but the could’ve done USB-3 at some point.
“But that just might be the emotions.” 🤣
Can you do a video on installing starlink
If only ltt had a apple based channel, for the iPhone and Macs, where you would address more of this....we could subscribe
iPad Pro with Mac OS and a magic keyboard would be KILLER. Sometimes. Then the one time I need Ethernet to check a server I’m out of luck but it will be glorious until then.
I say Riley’s rant about USB is justified 😆
Don’t diss the stickers man! Lol
What a banga! "Patina!" lol
TOUCH ID POWER/LOCK BUTTON! YES! THEY…. OMG
When is that gonna be on the pro model? Plz
i was NOT expecting fire emblem 😳
