To be fair Reddit's video player requires, sometimes literal, magic to work consistently.
100%. It always crashes when I want to show something to my gf.
It's always loading for me.
yeah lmao
@@LRZ_DISCO ha
is apollo available for ipad?
Being real for a moment, this channel truly stands out among the LTT channels.
Jonathan's cinematography truly shines in these videos to where they each feel special, and showing both the good and bad when it comes to Apple's products.
And the music really adds to the music in a cozy way
Give credit to Andy and Linus, the later being director and producer and Andy being art director. still props to Jonathan for great writing and impecable hosting.
I was just thinking how this channel is so different from the other channels. The feel, the look, the tone honestly the only thing that is similar is the throw to the sponsor.
I totally agree, it's definitely the LTT channel with the most unique and instantly distinctive aesthetic. It also feels more genuine and progresses "naturally" rather than being a very obviously scripted video. Each video has its own plot and story progression elements, which is awesome if you consider that these are just supposed to be hardware reviews
I don't even use a single Apple product, and I watch every single MAC address video the day it comes out. They're just that well produced
Yeah didnt even realize he was part of the LTT group for awhile. Really good content creator I love all his videos!
I went from an iPad Air 2 to the iPad Pro 11" 2021 last year. It was such a needed upgrade for performance but mainly because I've been using it for school and I love using it as my notebook and textbook. I got the Pro over another Air because the price difference after upgrading was so small and I felt 120 Hz would bring a way better-writing experience. And when turning 120 Hz off, I can definitely tell the difference when writing, it is just not as natural. Also, I wasn't able to go all into using an iPad as my only computer because there were some apps and even websites that only worked on a computer/Chrome for my schooling (Engineering).
What type of computer do you have for engineering? is it a windows or mac?
@@salsaproductions6286 I use a MacBook, I got it before I went to university as I got into iOS programming. I haven’t ran into many issues with programs not working so far. And luckily my university also has VMs through VMware Horizon we can log into and access the programs that aren’t available on macOS but it’s only been a few so far.
Me too upgrading from Air 2 to M1 Pro 11 inch 256 gb 😍
We are upgrading from the same device lol (edit: 2020 iPad Pro 11” because I’m broke.)
Haha i went from Air 2 to iPad Pro 2017
So I've been a pc guy most of my life, and as such, I'm a big fan of the LMG channels. I recently got converted to Mac for video editing and general productivity and this is the first MA video I've clicked on. And I have to say, the delivery in this video is absolutely insane. So glad I clicked. Excellent work👌🏼
Horst is one of the best writers at ltt. We see all the videos and we enjoy all of them, but the amount of work that Horst has with this channel, with the camera angles, the "documentary" alike video and all of the places that he films in just one video it's just amazing.
Good job LTT team!
nice bot
This channel has really come into its own. When I first saw it, I must admit I was skeptical that anyone in the LMG Company could cover Apple products fairly and while being entertaining. This video I think it’s the best of the best, feeling like a friendly conversation about the state of the iPad, with top-notch, clear information, and amazing cinematography. I’m very impressed by the teams work and I’m looking forward to more. I also feel that MAC address participates the least in the Tech arm race, which has plagued the rest of the tech world
They were smart to hire an apple user/fanboy to run the channel too. More people trust it due to that.
Yeah, beats the everending Apple bashing and Intel shilling you find on on other LMG channels
@@poundlandspeedwagonrequiem typical applesheep. They bush Apple on purpose like fake graphs. And they aren't Intel shill. They're more sponsored by AMD than Intel.
Illiterate trollkid
@@poundlandspeedwagonrequiem definitely apple bashing, wouldn't say there's intel shilling beyond what they do for sponsorships.
@@crazybeatrice4555 in which way is there apple bashing in the other LMG Channels? It is just a different focus there. Apple products won’t get recommended as long as Apple behaves like they do in areas like right to repair, open communication and how they treat their buyers. And that is completely fair. This critique is fair and it is important. Probably not so important for you but extremely important for me. I will never buy a Mac because of the problems I see at the moment. The only apple product I use is an IPad and it is great. But I hope never to have to deal with apple a single bit more than necessary.
I love the different point of view(s) that this video presented, it gave what Jonathan is talking about some real texture. As I don't like tablets in general, I wouldn't bother with any of these....but it also made me actually think about wanting to try one which seriously surprised me. Great job, Jonathan, I'm really loving this channel!
As long as you not try in the e or below
Been running my 2018 iPad Pro and was considering upgrading - but I see now it’s not worth it (yet). Thank you for the great video! Superb explanations and very logical rankings.
Don't let this show go away. It's definitely your best content at the time. Great content, script and production.
I'm always pleasantly surprised at the production quality of this channel. It's a joy to watch these videos.
As usual, Andy and Jon, you two kill it.
Part of the emerging group. I have two. Mini 6 and the M1 12.9. The former for note taking and daily business related functions. The latter for content consumption when I want to give my 13 PM a rest (Or my eyes). I only unsheathe my MBP for Final Cut stuff.
Neither are good at everything, but both are very good at something.
Definitely an ‘A’ tier video. Absolutely perfect as I too have a (Apple refurbished) 2018 iPad Prom 11” and was thinking of updating but having seen this vid and the usage scenario then I’ll be keeping it. It was actually the best tech purchase that I ever made with this now being my only device (having replaced my MacBook).
Great vid and Nicole’s input was great. Many thanks 🙏. Subbed 👍👏🏻
As a non apple user with no interest in getting an iPad, I still found this video very interesting and well produced. I really enjoyed the pacing and video style
When I first saw this channel I thought it was independent and was pleasantly surprised when I found out it was part of LMG.
The videos you produce are very clean and visually appealing, you have truly capture the aesthetics of Apple in your videos. Also Jonathon produces some of the best LMG videos due to his creativity and ingenuity, at the same time keeping it all so sleek.
Take note that Linus is the director n producer of this episode. I think MA is the start of a new ground for the LMG as a whole in terms of creativity. I see this as a sign of more good yet different things to come.
most MA videos: apple aesthetic, buyer focused, and informing their apple audience very well.
I mean, apple products are expensive, so they need to inform the viewers very well before pulling the trigger
then there's the mac-flavored LMG video: "SUCK IT APPLE!!! *TOUCH SCREEN MACBOOK MOTHADUCKAZ!!!* "
"We tried it, BECAUSE WE CAN!!! So you don't have to, because the touch experience on mac os SUX!!!"
What is lmg
@@bensondentalassociates8690 Linus media group, the parent company of LTT, ShortCircuit, MacAddress and all the others.
It's also nice that Linus gives him enough freedom to create videos that are a bit different from the ones in the other channels.
The tier system is a great way to explain where things exist and empowers people to make the decision if they really want to/need to upgrade. Obviously, it's a bit of a rough guess - but I think it is a great idea.
I think this is a great example of the uniqueness of this channel. Great job team!
I’ve actually been considering an iPad for a while, so this video came at a perfect time.
Same here been really considering the mini since I can't find anything comparable to it
@@Alex-re3qm why get a mini
I read this as “I’ve actually considered being an iPad for a while” 😅
same here, been thinking of getting the m1 pro for a while but then came the iPad air with a reasonable price
Highly recommend it
I like this interview style, relating it to actual end users instead of relying on benchmarks.
I ended up going with the 256gb 5th gen Air over the 128gb 11" Pro. At the end of the day both offered Apple Pencil 2 and Magic Keyboard support in the same size, so it came down to ProMotion/refresh rate versus price and storage. My iPad is very much a secondary device, so I just don't need those extra features. It's actually replacing a much-loved Lenovo Yoga 900 which was my daily driver laptop during grad school, but gradually became relegated to a casual web browsing and youtube/twitch in bed device as I got an employer-provided laptop for work and upgraded my gaming desktop. Now that work travel is picking back up again, I needed a light device with good battery life which I could bring along with my work laptop for personal use. The new Air really fits that niche perfectly--for light web browsing, social media, video streaming, etc, it's more than sufficient and I rarely notice the lower refresh rate. I might feel differently if I were in a creative profession and using my iPad as a primary work device, but I feel like the Air really does everything I need it to and will for several years.
I am really enjoying your videos. As a newbie, this helps so much. You are quite different then the other videos I have seen. Keep up the good work! you talk about things that I dont see in other videos. great explanations.
I’m honestly thrilled with my 2018 iPad Pro. The fact 4 years have gone by and it still performs like a champ. The only thing that could get me to upgrade at this point is if the battery starts losing life. Makes the initial investment feel like an investment.
I had the 2016 original iPad Pro until just now that I decided to go to the iPad Air 5. I feel like this video exaggerates too much because even with the original iPad Pro performance wasn’t extremely horrible
Same. I have the 2018 Pro as well. Nothing I've seen from other iPads compels me to upgrade so far, apart from as you said, the battery. I don't use it for casual browsing or watching movies/youtube tho, it's mostly just for illustration.
Same, I love the 2018 iPad Pro it honestly doesn’t feel like a 4 year old device, still feels smoother than the iPad Air 5 thanks to the 120hz refresh rate., thinking about selling mine before the battery starts to degrade but other than it is fantastic.
@@EddyGraphic A12X and M1 doesn't really far of the gap of performance if you're not comparing it
I love my 2018 iPad Pro. I don’t have any lag problems.
Love love love the narrative approach you took with this video. Walking someone through the Olympic buying process that is Apple’s iPad lineup like a personal Genius is the treatment everyone wants, that they get with just sharing this video. Keep up the amazing work!
This video was perfect for me, being someone who is looking at buying an Ipad for the first time. I appreciate the detail in which these devices have been explained, and I also compliment you guys on the elegant style of the video as well. Thanks =).
I haven't seen tech videos in years. But your channel has such innovative ideas I love it keep it up
Currently on a 10.5” iPad Pro which I’ve been using for 3 years, the new Air would be the perfect upgrade for me if I were to, but the lack of ProMotion is something I’m not sure about. I’ll probably hang onto this iPad though until iPadOS support is dropped as upgrading isn’t much of a priority right now for me, I’d rather upgrade my phone first
Same. I’m not going to the Air since I’ll lose out on 120hz and no quad-speakers. Dealbreaker for me
I’m in the same exact boat as you
And keep the headhone jack!
10.5 iPad Pro is underrated. Quad speakers, pro motion display, optical stabilization on camera
@@jakateka understand that but I don’t mind as I moved to wireless headphones before I upgraded to it
Fascinating approach to this. I honestly never expected a CZcams video to help me understand all of these nuances - I’m on a B tier 2020 iPad Pro 12.9 and I think I’ll stick with it for now, and get my first Apple Silicon as a Mac mini to replace my Intel MBP.
I love this channel and all the info it provides. Jonathan, you are amazing! Now if I could just figure out how the hell to determine which model of iPad Air I have... I really wish Apple would use a more conventional naming process for not only iPads but all their devices.
I was planning to upgrade my 2018 iPad pro. Thank you for this video!
My experience on the 2018 iPad Pro is very different than shown in this video… totally smooth all the time and I’ve never noticed things going out of memory (do agree with the tier it was put in tho)
Yeah, she should've stated if the storage was bloated or not, cause that could've contributed to the slowdowns.
Yeah same I still got my 2018 one and I’ve never experienced any of these issues. It really depends on exactly what you use it for and how much you bloat the device. Do even if the 2018 is still pretty good for the age; I feel this review is a little more dramatic than in most peoples experiences
I still use the 2nd gen 12.9” iPad Pro. I’ve had no need to upgrade as it can still do everything that I need it to do. It doesn’t feel slow and still performing, the only thing that’s making it look outdated is the large bezels. I did however purchase a 6th gen iPad Mini, I’ve always loved the iPad Mini for it’s size and portability.
I got the 2018 iPad Pro when it was released and I’ve been using it ever since. It still works perfectly. I’d really like to have Thunderbolt, but it’s not enough of a reason for me to upgrade to the new iPad Pro. Awesome video as always!
Solid story, nicely made. Thanks guys! 💜
This happened to me recently with a 2016 iPad Pro, but something that you might be ignoring is that Apple DOES 100 limit performance when the internal battery health is below 80% My Pro constantly reloaded and several apps crashed constantly, but I went to Apple for a battery replacement (replaced the whole iPad but it was fairly affordable since that was the only thing that was wrong with mine) and the performance was 100% restored. Old iPads aren't necessarily slow, but Apple does seem to muck around their RAM management when the batteries are degraded.
How can one tell the battery health on their iPad? The option to view it like you can on an iPhone does not exist that I can see. I’m still rocking my 10.5 iPad Pro but the 64gb of storage is getting to be limiting and it’s definitely showing its age when running the same apps compared to my iPhone 12 Pro max.
@@WilliamSteppan use coconut battery on windows or macos, connect your ios devices and it will tell
@@xudumusics8148 thanks, I’ll check that out!
do they give you a refurbished device for the replacement ?
@@WilliamSteppan I used iMazing (free version) to check my iPad's battery health (2017 iPad Pro). I had it replaced (they don't change the battery actually, but you get a new one of the same model for 100 dollars) and it's snappy again. I feel I'll be using it for at least 1 or 2 more years.
I work in freelance and still have a 6th gen iPad, been waiting for a chance to upgrade. I don’t have my toes too dipped into the ecosystem so I wouldn’t be using features like AppleTV integration or air play, mainly just for art and productivity. The Air sounds like a good compromise.
I have a 2019 ipad air because it always seems like I buy mine right before apple releases a new one. this video was helpful. now i know which options i have to upgrade too. thank you for the list
This channel is so charming. Keep up the great work LMG!
I definitely think her iPad would work better if she reset it and fresh installed iOS. Sometimes after a while, iOS is just bogged down with stuff and needs a refresh. It’s worked a lot for me. I don’t have a 2018 iPad Pro so I wouldn’t know if that would help with those issues she had, but I have a 2017, and it’s pretty laggy. Definitely wanting an 11 inch when it gets mini-LED or something
I've stuck solidly with the Mini lineup for the more comfortable holding experience than the larger models. Even with more performance available now in the Air, the 2021 Mini still feels more worth it for the price than the Air, mainly due to iPadOS itself being limited. This leads to the following question being asked:
*What worth is it to have best-in-class processing power of you can't use it?*
Actually what worth is it to even have last-gen processing?? Most people out there would be fine with a PC from the 90s - word processing, some videos, some email….I personally started my journey with an IPhone 6S, back then with iOS 9 it was super snappy, and did basically the same stuff my current iPhone 13 does - make phone calls, receive msgs, send emails. But the hype and race to have cutting edge stuff is real, for social status, for showing off, for short lived shot of dopamine….
I wanted a mini myself, but I don’t think it’s going to age well with only 4gb of RAM. Heck, my almost 5 year old 10.5 Pro has that amount. I think I’m going to go with the Air 5 simply because it having double the RAM and planning to keep the device for many years.
I have the mini 6, I switched to it after owning a 2018 12.9” pro. I can easily recommend the tablet. It feels snappier than the pro and the 60hz screen doesn’t really bother me. I haven’t noticed any jelly scroll.
The 12.9” pro was nice while I was in college and trying to use it as my soul device for note taking, word processing and productivity. However when I graduated I found the tablet to be too big to comfortably use for content consumption and walking around the house with it or using it comfortably in portrait mode on the couch. That’s why I ultimately switched to the mini 6.
@@Xpuc I think you’re majorly underestimating how powerful a PC from the 90s are.
Jo Seph GD - I had the iPad Mini 4 for five years and it was a great device. The portability factor and ease of use of the iPad Mini is awesome, and the new iPad Mini 6 is an amazing tablet.
I recently transitioned from the iPad Mini 4 to a new iPad Air 4 a couple weeks ago. I wanted a larger screen this time, and saved some $$ going for the the previous Gen Ipad Air over the Air 5, and it's still a big advancement in power over the Mini 4. We buy what meets our needs and works for us.
I really enjoyed this vid! Loved the tiers, which made it easier to compare the models.
Thank you for this. Really interesting and useful to know! I have a 2018 iPad Pro that I purchased as used over a year ago and it’s holding up very very well…
It’s really hard to overstate how happy I am with my 2018 iPad Pro 12.9”. I bought it right after it came out and despite being 3.5 years old, it still feels plenty fast, looks just as modern as the newest iPads, and still works great with the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil and magic keyboard accessories (both of which I love). Yeah, it could definitely use a new battery, but I’m still amazed that the iPad has stood up to the test of time over these years.
i have the same ipad but 11inch and ur right
I have the 2018 iPad Pro 12.9, and absolutely love it. I use it for everything from writing reports to browsing the internet, to watching videos, school, etc. I have been tempted to upgrade, but have taken a step back. I want to wait to see what the 2022 iPad Pro lineup brings to the table. If it’s minimal to that of the M1 powered iPad Pro lineup, I will continue to hold off. If the update is big, I will look into upgrading.
The 2022 line up will probably use the newly revealed M2 chip with the same mini LED display if I was you I’d get the M1 when it’s available on apple refurbished certified
@@oo0024 when do you think it will be available?
@@oo0024 I have a 12.9 2021 1TB and I think this will be around for another 5 years. Processing power is the least of my worries. Mini-LED, quad speakers and pro-motion are the winners here.
This video was really helpful for me, so thank you.
Just got the Air, I love it! It is very snappy. And, I love the purple! I look forward to exploring the possibilities!
The 2018 ipad pro is clearly one of the best ipads ever made! Personally, since i have never even used all of the 4GBs of ram on my iphone Xs, this amount of ram isn’t bothering me. So i would definitely choose 2018 Pro rather than the M1 air. And i find it incredible that a 4 year old device can still be that competitive
talking about that, I have an iPad 6th gen! and for the tasks that I do (browsing web, and browsing a bit more web, and a little bit more web and notion) I don't think I will need an upgrade even in 3 more years! the only thing that bothers me is the sound quality but having 3.5mm jack is bliss to use KZs.. battery is good but charging suck although i only charge at night...
@@manjindersinghsaini911 my brother also has this ipad and i see him playing on it all day with his friends online games like minecraft, pubg and more and all of them run really good. Also i wouldnt say the sound is not good
@@andreas_karam its good but compared to even cheap android tablets like tab A7 (4 speakers), it definitely lacks surround sound support and clarity at Max loundness that they are giving, however, latest iPads and even android tabs have got so much bass and fuller sound compared to this one. Its definitely usable but not enjoyable in music or any CZcams video in general. Probably because it's single speaker vs 4 on others.
@@manjindersinghsaini911 yeah i agree, but my other brother’s ipad 8th gen has such good speakers and the are also only 2! No cap they are incredibly good for being only a pair.
@@oo0024 depending on the usage, you couldn't be more wrong... Even the heaviest of games on iOS today only utilise about 1.3Gig at Max graphics.. with how nicely they optimise apps, I think for casual users, iPad 2018 can easily last even 2 years beyond after even apple ends software update support for it.. websites in general are not becoming heavier, 95% of the websites and online applications are just as demanding as they were in say, 2015.. and it's probably gonna stay this for net 4-5 years.. besides most apps on average utilise RAM on the basis of how much is available, so even 2GB ram iPad is gonna have no problem anytime soon (3 years).. for testing, you can pick up any 1GB ram iPad or iPhone 6, anything that worked on it at time of launch works pretty much the same.. only newer games require better specs, you will be just fine multitasking upto 4 apps like twitch CZcams or Twitter.. and even more with lighter apps. CPUs are getting more power with time, but resources demanding apps are very few, old apps even with updates run just as smooth as they did 6 years ago.. and will keep on running..
omg just what i need! i have the 2018 ipad pro and i use it everyday professionally as a digital illustrator. Thinking about upgrading it but after i watch this video idt its worth the upgrade. I'm just going to wait for the next ipad pro. Great video!!
What a tough job to rank that crazy lineup. Awesome job by the way 😀👍
I have an 11” M1 iPad Pro that I’ve opened for about a year and it’s been phenomenal! The screen alone is worth the minor upgrade from the Air because it also adds 64GB of memory.
That's incorrect. Depending on which model of iPad Pro you have, you either have 8 GB or 16 GB memory.
@@greggmacdonald9644 storage memory not RAM.., base Air is 64 base Pro is 128. Even if I wasn’t specific no iPad 64gb of RAM. I’m not the one who is incorrect ;)
@@MarbsMusic Good try, but you're still incorrect. I will explain: Memory and Storage space are two different things, but they are measured in the same units, which is where I think your confusion is coming from. The iPad Pro's storage varies from 128 GB to 2 TB. Memory is 8 GB on the 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB models, and memory is 16 GB on the 1 TB and 2 TB models. This might seem like a pedantic distinction, but it really isn't.
@@greggmacdonald9644 I truly understand, my point was the price factor difference. Most people considering between an Air and a Pro aren't looking for the 16GB RAM version, they are more worried about their storage. If you watched the video he noted that both the Air 5 and the 11" Pro with less than 1TB of storage had 8GB. Thus my point was the price difference between the 2 base models, EACH with 8GB, was around ~$200. For that you got a better screen and 128GB rather than 64GB of storage (memory not RAM). I do thank you for your explanation though. I'm quite sure there are many who do not understand the difference.
For most consumers it actually is a pedantic difference because usually only professionals need or care about 16Gb of RAM on a tablet. Most just care how much storage... especially those looking to purchase an Air. Just speaking from experience, sale figures and many "reviews", I could be wrong though...
the screen adds memory?
After having Pro Motion and mini led on the 12.9 inch m1 iPad Pro I can’t settle for less in any display. That’s the must have bare minimum standard for me now.
Great video, I’m in a similar boot to Nicole and have been thinking of upgrading. This video has given me all the information that I need so thank you
For my use, my 2015 ipad pro 12.9 original still serves me well. It still works as second monitor through sidecar, capable of taking hand written notes while able to multitask on browser.
I just upgraded from the 3rd gen iPad air to the 5th gen 12.9" iPad pro. It's a great upgrade but I can't recommend it for most people. Having an M1 in the iPad air is awesome but I can't help think the A15 would have been a better SOC for the iPad air. It'd still be a performance improvement while being more power efficient than M1.
The Mini 6 is the best for me. Enough processing power but still portable.
Bought the mini 6 in November and I'm honestly in love with it. My phone usage has dropped to less than half of what it used to be, since I bought the mini. It's the ipad to go for if you want an authentic tablet experience.
I bought the 2017 (2nd Generation) 12.9” iPad Pro a few months after release and it’s still a delight to use. The first gen pencil is annoying, but otherwise the things I use the iPad for (annotating PDFs, reading books, sketching diagrams) it handles like a champ. Every year an iPad with more compute resources comes out but still the only thing even getting me thinking about upgrading is the second gen pencil and the magic keyboard. Almost 5 years later it’s one of the best tech purchases I’ve ever made.
This is a must watch video for anyone shopping for an iPad. Thank you so much for doing this.
The main issue now is the gap between the 11 and 12 inch iPad pro imo. The defining feature of the 12 (miniLED) isn't on the 11, so other than performance, an iPad pro 11" bought in 2022 is going to be more or less the same as the 2018 for most users. This is particularly true given some of the limitations of iPadOS allocating resources to applications.
The software I just don't feel is there to justify the need for M1 power, there absolutely are pro pieces of software, but the restrictions of the OS mean anyone outside of strictly freelance creative roles will run into compatibility or workflow issues.
Google have made real strides to make chromeOS more competent, allowing full Linux and android apps to be run, introducing steam, the ability to easily dual boot windows or other OSs, etc. I just don't think apple can keep resting on their laurels with ipadOS while Google and Microsoft are closing the gap.
@@nshinata9244 nope, I wanted the 11 inch for the size, traded my 12.9inch for it with my brother
@@nshinata9244 That is not true, a lot of people including myself prefer the more portable and lighter size. Maybe if I never left my house it wouldn't matter and would prefer the larger screen.
I actually did go for the 11 inch because of the size
Its funny, I just updated my old iPad 6 to the new iPad Air with the M1. I didn't break it down in a tier list, but I knew going from the A10 in my old iPad to the new M1 would be a huge upgrade for my uses, but if my old one had been slightly newer that choice might of been a lot harder with out this sort of list.
Are you still satisfied with your purchase now? Because I have an iPad 6 and thinking of upgrading to this M1 Air.
@@Marcus5800 I am! In my use case (a few specific games mostly) it is massively faster, and the screen bump in size and quality are also both very noticeable. I've even been really happy with the Logitech case/keybaord combo thing I picked up as well. The battery life is fine, but not mind boggling, but again, I think that goes to my use being a lot of games, so I love having more power, and I'm forcing the system to use all of it.
Great video
Always a unique style that I find very refreshing
Watching on my iPad Air from back in middle school.
Still great 8 years later!
I wish I could see actually which iPad model is in which tier (especially older ones). Because I don't know which processor is in my iPad, and I think it is fun to compare. I had to google which one it was.
3:03 ok uh, clearly I'm out of touch and have no idea but, what does Nicole do with the lid of her cup? Snaps a thing off and slips it back into a slot on the lid? Do Starbucks' cold lids have a little removable cap now? I'm very confused
That looks like a sticker/tape that prevents the drink from spilling. Just like how Jonathan is removing the stopper from his drink at the same time.
@@swifire I see :v interesting
Nice video concept tier list wise 👌
As for me, I wanted to have a companion for my 2012 MacBook pro. I purchased the iPad 7th Generation and surprisingly I found myself using the iPad on its own instead of a companion for my macbook. Since I don't need the extra power of the Air nor the flagship qualities of the pro, I am planning on upgrading to the iPad 9th gen for more storage mainly. Heck I even used it as my linux "box" with iSH as well! So many cool and unique ways of using a device like this! I also wanted to mention that your videos rock!
I’ve been stuck with 10.5 since its release and, in my opinion, Apple actually didn’t introduce any other device to replace it since then at least for quick sketches, handwritten note taking and some CZcams, all improvements in 2018, 2020 and 2021 were minor
I used to have the q0.5 and upgraded to the 2018 iPad Pro - the 10.5 was GREAT! And looks great, I only switched because my screen had a problem.
@@Amelia-uw7nw white spot issue isn't it? I have it too
@@mohdasyraafsyahmi3250 Hey! it wasn't that, it just was a bit unresponsive in the middle at times which got annoying! Now my 2018 one is bent though (because its the 4g one) :(
@@Amelia-uw7nw yeah I heard about the bendgate issue on 2018 iPad pro. I have the 10.5 inch and currently having the white spot issue which is quite severe. I bought it used and plan on selling it
Weird, with 60 Hz I would have never thought anyone would want the iPad Air going from iPad Pro 2017-2018.
Thanks for making this tier list!
I needed it because i want to get a iPad which can run some games but isn‘t as big as a computer!
A very nice video. I like the mellow style and the little fun they have in between cuts. I personally am an IT professional and almost exclusively use an ipad for my personal stuff. It‘s great - quick, power efficient and quiet albeit expensive if you add the keyboard
4:05 we all know reddit's video player is broken
I mean, if I'm spending $1500 on an iPad Pro, at that point I'd be better off just spending $500 more on a 14 inch Macbook Pro instead. (which I did, and I love it to death. I hardly touch iPads anymore with how good this thing is.)
Man, I really hope we get major overhauls to iPadOS, or sideloading, or both, then I'd have an excuse to use this thing.
How would side loading make your purchase more justified?
@@arandomhumanbeing2464 after Your bankruptcy because of these price tag you can't spend extra money for software like movies or programs so piracy is the only option so side load is very important
@@nshinata9244 ohhh, so you want Apple to allow side loading so you can *steal* the hard work of a developer? Sounds about right.
@@arandomhumanbeing2464 developers become greedy especially with (subscriptions plans) like its not one buy time only like microsoft office so you can't own one thing even after spending money
So yeah my cracked version will be paid from one rich guy with his monthly/yearly subscription or company that their employees work with this program not immoral if u ask me until they make (normal ppl subscription or one buy time )
@@arandomhumanbeing2464 When I paid over $1000 for the device, I deserve full control over that device, especially when it has the guts of a Mac, but does less than a Mac and is more expensive than a Mac. A lot of big tech critics and hardcore Apple users are begging for the M1 iPads to gain the ability to dualboot macOS because of this.
So unless iPadOS gets sideloading soon, I don't see myself ever getting these expensive ass iPads. It's like what Jonathan said: Cheap iPad is best iPad.
Also unrelated side tangent: Why the hell is the vanilla iPad the only iPad with a headphone jack?! The other iPads aren't water resistant or very thin so why the hell do they not have headphone jacks especially with how much Apple's been advertising it as a laptop replacement, yet the much cheaper M1 Macbook Airs have headphone jacks and are thinner than the iPads!
Love all your videos. Il loved the tier graph. Could you publish it somewhere or something. Thank you so much and keep the good work
This is a great video!! Very helpful & enjoyable to watch! I will dftly check out the list. Thanks! :)
I really hope Macaddress catches on for the general Apple community, not just in the LMG community. Apple fans really need a big and straightforward voice to aide their product choices.
I have a 2020 iPad Pro and I was fiening to get the newer one. This video helped me save 500 bucks, THANK YOU!
Loved that intro with the piano.
I love the iPad Pro 2021. Got the 11” 512 gb…I do design work and music production mainly and occasionally consume content and play games. It is so far near perfect for my needs. I only dreamt of this a decade ago. Now, that dream is literally within the grasp of my hands. I have no complaints…sure it can be and should always push to improve…but that’s with anything in life. Love the iPad Pro with the M1 now…Thank you Steve Jobs!
this video is so helpful. helped me decide to upgrade my 3rd gen ipad air to the 10th gen ipad.
I upgraded from a 1st gen air to a 2021 11 inch pro last month. The air had just come out, but for the extra storage on the base model and better refresh rate display, the pro was worth it (especially as I think it was on sale at Amazon at the time.) I love it. Beyond belief. Coming from the iPad I have it’s such a pleasurable experience. Now all we need is a few desktop apps to be supported and we’ll be golden
Thanks for your input and information 😊
I have an iPad Air 4 that is really used like a laptop me and what I do on a daily. I definitely don’t plan on upgrading but this was such a well done video.
Looking to get my wife a new ipad. Randomly found this channel recommended for information on apple products. About 15 secs into the video I said to my self... this has really good LTT level production and quality with good editing. Then I started to recognize a lotta LTT set pieces.... should of figured. Keep up the good work!
So new to the channel, but honestly I loved that you guys went in depth with real world usage from her point of view. On paper isn’t everything when you’re actually using it
This being said, I have a 2018 iPad Pro the larger model, and I’ve had issues in the past with performance when viewing large or just multi-page PDF’s, but ONLY when opening or viewing them through files.
It’s a little annoying because I like using the native files app for some of its obvious benefits when it comes to file organization and editing.
Would the newest air or any M1 iPads run any smoother?
Thank you again!
Really really well written. Great job, Jonathan and team.
This video is incredibly well made in all aspects!
Best Ipad overview ever ! :) Thx
Sounds very legit! Not ;)
Love the channel. Any chance of doing a follow up with the tier list and real world usage of those models? Im sure a lot of those lower tier ipads woukd still be perfectly fine for youtube, twitch, communication, , studying, browsing insta etc, if we set aside the requirement of adhd usage of doing 3 things at once.
This channel has character. I'm loving what Jonathan is doing here
I'm using the A14 iPad Air, absolutely love the device. Great video!
What a great idea, my 2020 iPad hasn’t skipped a beat yet
Great content!
I think Apple will find this video very useful, I wonder if they already have reached out based on previous videos.
I LOVED those pin and contact processor cushions on Nicole's Sofa ❤️👐🏻
I had recently got an a13 iPad and as a started to watch more videos about iPads I kept seeing the iPad Pros and M1 chips mentioned which made me a bit regretful about buying this one but watching this videos made me feel a lot safer that i bought this one
Finally got around to check out MA. Really like your videos !
Still using my 2017 iPad pro 😎
All things considered it's still holding strong with my illustration work, but I can definitely see the cracks in it's performance when getting to higher layer numbers.
Good stuff. Has me thinking about the new iPad Air.
i love this channel, man
Fantastic hack! I did everything you showed here and it worked! Thanks a lot!
EASILY the most helpful iPad video I have seen !!!!!!!!!
S Tier material here, very eye-opening perspective on performance for the average user! Thank you for your insights!
I upgraded to the ipad air 5 from air2 which was over 7 years old at this point!! The performance is mind blowing!!
I wholeheartedly agree with this list, I have a 2018 iPad Pro and I have very rarely actually needed *more* performance, and I 3d sculpt on it and I can get like 10 million polygons with it still working very well, and when I need any more power I just go to my desktop.
