Can you actually tell the difference between these two screens? Because Apple released a larger M2 iPad Air with an updated chip - but can it really compete with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+.

Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?
Hmmm, I realize now that a more 'Fair' comparison would've been between the M2 Air and the Tab S9 FE+...
Best objective non biased reviews out there.. for me I prefer the Samsung.. both impressive devices but the free S-pen.. faster refresh rate and expandable memory swayed me in that direction. 🙏
Thank you for the kind words - and for adding your perspective. I super appreciate you being part of the community!
usually with samsung, the keyboard case is free when you pre order.
Used to own the whole apple ecosystem, had an 11 inch ipad pro with m1, had to change to windows due to work and realized I was bored of my ipad, yes, really powerful but not much to do unless you were using video or photo editing tools, so things I donˋt use, now I have a galaxy tab s9+ and love it, perfect to use while in a plane, good for casual gamming check emails and all of the things that I like with a better display, 512 gb of storage, awesome pencil an way cheaper, also DEX has saved a ton of times so is my safe to carry device, unlike the ipad.
So you can extend the display of the ipad air on an external display with stage manager? Thats cool, i thought that feature was ipadPRO only, that makes it worth upgrading from ipad air 4 which only mirrors the display. Thanks for the video!
For me i have the tab s8 and the s9 is more fun to use w the s pen in box , micro sd card for expendable memory, open OS, higher level multi tasking, no limitations etc
I have samsung tab s9+ 5G, the best. ❤
Honestly, ill take the s9 cuz of my samsung ecosystem
S-pen you can change the tip of you don't like the feel on the screen. I took advantage and it's awesome. Also screen protectors that feel like paper when you write is usually for artist but feels great for taking notes as well.
I purchased a new 1TB Galaxy Tab S9+ with the slim keyboard for $1,000 before taxes off of someone from EBay. I was going to buy the new iPad Air but once I added it to cart with the keyboard, it came up to $1,600 so I rather save the $600 and go with the 1TB S9+.
Wait, they do the s9+ in 1 TB sizes?? When did that happen. I thought it was only the 14.6 that went up to 1 TB
well, the samsung is second hand, the ipad isnt. Samsung devices tend to lose their value faster than apple devices do.
@@TxnLukelosing their monetary value for mint/barely used products is much more a positive from my pov, can help save you those few hundred bucks each time
they need to put that Snapdragon X in the next Tab S, the GPU and multicore performance difference is insane.
If you want the new Air. Just buy the M2 iPad pro.
That’s exactly what I’m gonna do, I’ll wait a few months for the m2 ipad pro’s to drop
Got the M2 iPad Pro 12.9 for my wife who thought she wanted the Air 13. The mini-LED and Tbolt port were the deciding factors. Same keyboard for both and she already has a Pencil 2 so a no brainer. Crazy part is the price for a 256GB M2 Pro was so close to the Air with 512GB that it made no sense, especially with how you can easily use external storage with Pro models. I bet the M2 Pros go on intermittent sales until supplies run out. They’ll be supported for years, but Apple has to stock making them or the Air sales will stall when I bet they were hoping for big sales.
Not if you want the new pencil 😂😂
Or want decent colours.
I tried both and kept the air. Didnt see the 200 dollar deference except for pro motion.
Great video !
As a futur medical student i want to buy my first tablet. I'm quite interested by the new Ipad air but it will be my first apple device. Is it a problem ? And which tablet offers the best softwares for a med student ? If someone could advice me I will me delighted.
“Don’t try to bend my tablets “
Jerryrigeverything laughing in the corner
definitely!!!
Ipad air 7 is rumored to have a Oled screen too. I hope it's true. Also they should replace the 60 hz by 120 hz for the air.
It'll be interesting to see what Apple does - I wonder if they will wait one more generation.
They’re already talking about the next iPad Air when this one came out weeks ago? Won’t that be in at least 2 years?
@@DrunkDrynasty They have been talking for months about the iPad Air and the iPad Mini which will have an Oled screen by 2026.
Genuine question and i've been back and forth between Samsung and apple tablets, i need the apps on iOS but i think Samsung tablets are just better. I'm gonna study computers, games, so i need art apps like procreate but nomad sculpt is also a necessary app but it's 20 bucks on IOS (from what i've heard) also i think it's kinda hard to operate on IOS as a loyal android user, so any help? (i have up to 1,300 JOD to spend) keep in mind i need to multi task, draw, and take notes (NOTE: i want to use good notes but also a pen (s pen or apple pencil) i'm really torn)
My iPad Pro (old model) is literally bent, curved, it fell from 6 feet.. a nod due to my stupidity..it fell..twice, and I’m not even kidding. Now it’s the first iPad curved screen. Still works
I want a new one
Great review
Apple need to add "Handle With Care" note 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Or "Only fold along the long side".
Honestly i like the 4:3 ratio more because it scales better in most apps i use and i like how noticeable more responsive the ipad on very demanding tasks but not being able to 🦜 is a red flag and dealbreaker , got m1 anyways and i dont regret it
Edit: you said it 13:15 , apple maiking separate app verision for mac/ipad/iphone is definitely cool
Most people only use the iPad for games and watching media...
@@lbeetech without CZcams vandached or Instagram ++? Or even emulators? iPads are the worse for media and games , in a fact there's not a single media app that scales correctly with the 3:4 ratio (CZcams have so much black lines , Instagram have more than half of the screen as filler , Reddit have existence crisis if it should run like PC or mobile)
Native games are very good but most people interested in emulators which work very horrible like when I want to play god of war I play with my 6 years old note 8 (Snapdragon) instead of the M1 iPad and still get better fps in the same resolution
@jozimastar95 What are they for then? I've never figured that out. It just seems like a netbook, something to surf the internet with.
@@lbeetech I don’t know either , I use mine to manage big files and art/animations and I like how the apps are almost always active so don’t waste time refreshing unlike s9 which sometimes mess it up
have a jet ski in miami and never get near inlets unless u are really experienced
Great sir but my question:- sir where are you from
Honestly get the m2 12.9 pro if u want an Air. Its simply better
That's definitely an excellent option (especially if you can even get close in price)
I've used both extensively. Would say that if you're a student and looking for a 'one for all' solution, tab s9+ with the keyboard is better for you. You can do all your work, consume media, play/stream games and dabble in digital art. Its the better all rounder.
If you're a digital artist / creator, definitely go for the iPad air. the S9 lagged a lot for me in demanding apps, experienced stutters when selecting tools, palm rejection wasn't as good and the s-pen periodically did weird things. no issues with any of that with the iPad. Android fans might argue that the s9 is equally good when it comes to creating but in my experience, its not true. all those little niggles do become a huge bother when you're in the zone and made me resent using it so picked up the 2024 iPad air instead.
Lee - thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to share your extensive experience with both. I think you provided a very balanced and helpful perspective. I appreciate you for being part of the channel!
Aspect ratio wise, the closer it is to 1 (i.e. 1:1), the higher the viewing area for the same diagonal length. Simple calculation will tell, A = d² x l x w / sqrt( l² + w²). 1 x 1/sqrt(1+1) = 0.707, 4 x 3 /sqrt 25 = 0.48, As the aspect ratio grows longer, the denominator grows faster. Of course, usability and practicality is a factor, but nowadays phone is just about the same area as a Samsung Note III, despite having a longer diagonal
But of course the dimensions of the content don’t change unless you crop it. So for video we’re pretty much limited by width.
@@TechGearTalk actually it will, depending if you scale the longer or shorter side of the video frame
Hello,in your opinion, which one is better ipad air 13 or ipad pro m1 12.9?
I am not creator or anything I'm just a student so i will be using it for note taking,studying,media consumption and some gaming
what will be better 120hz but with m1,bluetooth 5 (idon't care a lot about the other difference)or m2 and BT 5.3 but 60hz?
I have glaxy s21ultra, so will i miss the high refresh rate on the air in studying and gaming or the m2 Make it more snappy and not that crucial?
buy tablet s9 ultra at same price of 13 inch air and you won't regret for sure
S9 ultra is more comparable to iPad Pro M4 13 inches, they are priced similarly..but the S9+ is around $999 which is slightly more expensive than the Air, but its worth it because u get the Spen included (u mentioned notetaking so u must be dropping 79 or 129 dollars on a pencil), dynamic amoled display, 2 cameras, and it will be integrated better with your s21 ultra.. Also personally i find samsung's spen better for notetaking as its a softer tip.. I have the tab S9 FE and I absolutely love the Spen...
get a Samsung tablet. It'll be much better for you.
You guys make a really good point, i guess you are right. Thank you
I didn't try to bend my ipad mini but it happened and it was in a case and it was never sat on. Apple blew me off. These companies need to do better.
I'm ready for the Samsung tab S10 ultra with a Snapdragon x elite chip
you mean S8 gen 3 chip
sadly, X Elite might be too early for the S10.
Everyone, I know the x elite won't be in there, just wishful thinking LOL
I vote for the S9 series
Thanks for another enjoyable and balanced review. My son's birthday was on 5/19 (he's 43!) and I gifted him my 10th gen iPad. Some might consider that a self-serving act of kindness since I just purchased the M1 iPad Air 5 at Walmart for $399US, but we're both happy 🙂
The screen, dex, s-pen and expandable storage on the s9 line is the win for me.
It's a no brainer if you are not locked into the apple ecosystem.
The difference between US and Indian pricing is quite different, almost 100$ for most iPads. 😢
most of the time us pricing didnt include tax..meanwhile in india(i guess) the tax is already included on the pricing..
Buy a samsung then
Check € and $ prices. Cheapest 13" Pro I believe is $1299 which translates to 1196,70€, but it is 1579€. That is more than $400.
And yeah some states in the US have to pay tax which I believe is 5-9%, still crazy difference, but it's the same for all products these days. Almost.
If the Galaxy Tab S9+ (actually any Galaxy Tab for that matter) had the aspect ratio of an iPad I'd take the Tab any day over the iPad. I use my tablet for digital art, and the more square shape works better - for me. I wouldn't turn either down if someone wanted to give me one lol - but because of the aspect ratio, i prefer the iPad. Wouldn't it be amazing if Samsung brought out a tablet with an aspect ration like the iPad? I'd buy that.
Would you compare ipad air 13 and s9 ultra? Thank you
I did an iPad Pro 13 comparison with the S9 Ultra because it was a more appropriate comparison: czcams.com/video/QBFXPWWxRY8/video.html I hope that helps.
Love and support from India
Ipad m4 is incredible. M2 is also really decent for anyone below prosumer (being on their tablet too often) or actual professionals.
Get the M2 Pro. Its better
I’m sorry apple but at yall prices everything should be OLED at 120 hz
You should compare recently lunch ipad air 13 to ipad pro 13 and previous year ipad pro 12.9 so we can see the gap between air and pro model price gap between them its worth to upgrade or which one to buy according to price point 🙏🏻
Good idea. Working on it!
this is the best ipad by far. no issues and i love no fan noise and no more heating issues. if your picky and want more bell whistles and hype get the pro. i design and this machine can handle every level of it. great review it helped me get this ipad from your past videos on ipads! big thanks !
As a student which ipad is best to buy as my first purchase
nothing apple
Great review. Samsung is very tempting device. Still hoping for new Pixel Tab Gen 2
Where did he get those paint brush wallpapers in the thumbnail?
I created them. Should I make a pack?
@@TechGearTalkdefinitely, looks incredible
@@TechGearTalk how can I download it?
No Procreate or Artstudio Pro on Tab S9 makes it an immediate non-option for me.
Glad to hear that you're taking your app requirements into account - super important.
@@TechGearTalk For general purpose utility and productivity or content consumption pretty much any tablet over the past 5 years is probably sufficient for most users. For me to spend $800+ on one though there needs to be something a lot more specific than just being an elegant messaging, Netflix and CZcams slab. I buy Macs for Logic Pro and iPads for Procreate, but I have a PC for gaming. The software dictates the platform.
Why comparing to the old one ? The new iPad M4 comes with amoled
This is the new iPad Air. It came out last week. I compared the M4 iPad Pro to the Tabs S9 Ultra here: czcams.com/video/QBFXPWWxRY8/video.htmlsi=nxrNFCjFEvZ2Y6b4
@@TechGearTalk My bad haven’t seen that you’ve already done it ☺️
I’m on my m2 iPad Air now 11 inch and it’s great
Thanks awesome - congrats!!! Thank you for sharing and for being part of the channel!
Watching on my m2 air 13 and I love it
Instagram isnt Optimized -.-
Correct - hence “essentially”
Clearly Apple bias didn't even mention the S9 price include a S-pen , with Ipad you need to buy a Pencil which will add to the cost.
Thank you so much for watching. Just a heads up - that is mentioned twice in the video. Once in the stylus section and once in the final thoughts. Hope that helps clear up the facts for you. Have an amazing day.
Do you recomend the samsung tab s8+ in 2024? :)
I'm still rocking the tab s8 ultra and it's a beast of a tablet in 2024
@@themoviebay thanks! I have the tab s6 and tab s8+ is on sale here in sweden for 500$ so I think I should bye it
Have a tab s8 plus here going strong but I am really unhappy with the lack of Third party magnetic cases made for Samsung tabs
@@HATCH5T Yeah I search for a cheap case but its was not much. Much more for the Ultra
iPad software is superior. All the apps scale correctly. Nuff said.
9:52 I think you labelled these wrong
You're absolutely right! Great catch!
No question Samsung Tab S9+ is better.
Samsung better software
Video/audio difference at 10:00 isn’t even even close. iPad wins that one!!
DUUUUUDE! I finally got who you remind me of! You look just like Ross from Friends! (after some testosterone shots - David Shwimmer has none)
Yo this made me laugh so hard. You win comment of the day 🤣😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👊🏻
There is no comparison; it's a very simple choice:
For entertainment, like watching videos and doing basic tasks, go for Samsung.
For productivity, such as digital art, photo/video editing, and note-taking, go for the iPad.
Yo Ipad all day bro!
Better samsung cause included pen why wastes money on pen not included get the ultra for 1200 now price dropping 1300 for apple no pen ultra 14 inch with pen
Getting an S Pen is really nice.
Apple Ipad win

Apple will take another 2 more generation of iPad than Apple will come up with 4 speakers than call it their latest innovations!
For now they are reserving that for the iPad Pro
ipad air>>>>
Naah
The iPad pro with OLED and better refresh rate and better chip is the best
Compared to the air is full and mid standards
I wish I could willingly bring myself to buy a Samsung peofuct. I’m sure they’re make good phones and tablets. I’ll just never know. I’m sure they’re a better deal, I’d just rather spend an extra few hundred on the m4 pro 13
Damn that samsung tablet is really overpriced
In the end, it's all about the ecosystem and the tablet optimized apps... iPad wins.
If you are in that ecosystem.
S9 ultra is a waste in gaming blurry graphics cz Android runs games in lower resolution and puttin that thing in 14 inch means blurry as fk
WRONG
?
What game did u play? I have a tab s8 plus everything looks nice
Genshin runs at 800p and pubg in 720p maybe u only played this game Android devices that's why u never noticed
In iPhone any pro max device i have 13 pro max genshin runs on 1600p
I couldn't care less for the Galaxy Tab, prefeering the iPad Air...
It's important to get the tablet that fits your needs and wants.
I heard Samsung tab s10 ultra will be lunched January 25
Apple ipad line up priceing is nut shell
If you go for ipad air 6 13 inch few extra buck you get ipad pro m2 120 hz oled lol
💀💀💀
Sir I have ipad air 4 running smooth
should i buy ipad air 6 13 inch model or wait for 2 more years for next gen ipad or Samsung tab 10 series 😂😂😂
I like the low weight of ipad air 4 should i sell it online get air 6 13 inch model 🥹🥹
If it works well for you, keep it. Resale value for Ipads isnt great.
