Thank you
Hi, thank you so much cause you helped me buying the right iPad. Two months ago I bought the 11" ipad pro, refurbished from apple and with the m1 chip, and I have to say I'm definitely satisfied. It works pretty well, battery
life is really good, even if with some apps it goes down really fast (solar smash/freeform). Overall, for my
workflow is perfect and I can easilv do
everything I need to. Thanks again😊
Outstanding comparison between the IPad models. This was informative and tremendously helpful.
Thank you.
So glad it was helpful. Thanks for being part of the channel!
I just got the iPad 10th gen with cellular, it was on sale for 1/2 off and a free year of 5G cellular service, so I decided to upgrade from my 1st gen iPad Pro, I’m absolutely love the 10th gen, the cameras are so much better than my old iPad Pro, it’s super fast compared to what I’m used too, and the screen is super bright for me, I also love the metallic blue color as well, it just pops, I just do mainly watching videos and playing games, and look on the internet and some photography and fly my drone with it and it has done everything with no problems at all
I love your use of organized written text to emphasize and display the differences between the options, small detail but is so nice
I'm super grateful for you taking the time to provide feedback!!! Thanks for being part of the channel!
I really appreciate your IPad reviews. I’m still on an iPad Air 1 and would love to update so have been watching your reviews of the latest air, latest base model, and latest mini. Super helpful the way you do your one on ones.
love your videos! Loving the iPad Pro 11 inch. Ordered a casetify MacBook case through your link. I didn't realize they had MacBook cases! Thanks!
Thank you so much for the kind words!!! Glad you're loving the 11 Pro and hope you got a great MacBook case!!! Which design did you choose?
At this point, Apple should just simplify the lineup again, but this time, focus on the Mini, the Air, and the Pro. Thats it. Any features the iPad 10 got (like the Camera shift), move it over to the Mini and Air. Give the Mini an M1 chip while retaining a 60hz refresh rate, while the Air gets M2 and a possible 90hz, and the Pros become the first to have M3 with the ProMotion 120hz.
Also, I got the Air 5 in 256GB plus 5G back in March this year. Easily the best one of the current lineup!!!
iPad mini pro is a must need
Crazy on black friday I got a m2 iPad Pro 256gb cellular, magic keyboard, and apple pencil for just 200$ more than buying the same config m1 iPad Pro by itself. I waited a whole year for it to go on sale, so it blew my mind to see the new one cheaper than the old one.
I've had the Mini 6 since it released I love that thing, it fits perfectly in my Apple ecosystem. Having said that I've always been attracted to the Air 5, I view it as the entry level iPad with an M series chips. I just can't justify buying it. Darn it. 🙂
I think that unless there is a VERY specific advantage you're getting from a new iPad - you're making the smart decision by using what you have!
I have both and in all honesty I stopped using my air 90% of the time
@@andrestyles4 That's exactly what I"m afraid would happen with me.
@@bryans8656 but here’s the thing , the M1 chip hasn’t been put to the test and the iPad mini can’t even download Final Cut Pro , i was honestly thinking about selling both and get the pro for cheap
I got a question how long does the battery last on mini 6
In Spain iPad 10 cost 621$ while iPad Pro 12.9’ cost 1555$, Mini 700$ and Air 825$. Apple got crazy with prices in Spain this yeat
Your reviews are always well done. Very helpful. Thanks.
I’m super grateful for the kind words🙏🏻. Thank you for being part of the channel and community!
I think the price of the iPad 10 is rational.😅 In fact, when iPad 10 was on sale, other iPad series’ prices were going up. But in consideration of the possibility for primary and secondary schools to wholesale the iPad for students to attend online classes (such as Google Classroom) , it is convenient choice for students. 😊
So iPad 10’s price in China is CNY 3,599; You can just cost CNY 3,899 to buy iPad Air 5 (NOT Chinese Edition)in JD or cost CNY 4,599 to buy iPad Pro 2021.
To me the iPad 9th gen, mini and Pro are the only options worth considering for normal users. The 10th gen is almost double the price of the 9th gen and doesn’t offer much in terms of functionality, the screen is still 60hz, non-laminated, and only supports the 1st gen pencil. The air not having a 90 or 120hz display is also a huge turn off at $500+, might as well get the pro which also has more base storage. I hope they revamp the whole line up in 2024.
I totally agree. First off, the 10th gen is non laminated. Wtf? And 1st gen pencil support? Again, wtf???!!! And for the air, WE WANT 90-120HZ!! also storage options- um.
I have the 10 because I use it for flying and the battery life has ranked the highest. If i was looking for a more laptop replacement I'd get the air, its the best bang for buck imo unless you're a pro user. The mini is actually the least practical imo but the most enjoyable to use if that makes sense. I've always had minis and love using them but at almost no point is it actually more practical overall then a bigger ipad. It's still just an enjoyable experience though
Super appreciate the input!!!
I have the iPad 8 for school, and it is kicking ass. Besides learning how to properly store files I have had no issues
That’s great news! Perfect example of why you should get exactly what works for you - instead of overspending. Good job!
Do you have any tips for people who want a mix of Apple (ipadOs, iOS), Windows, and Samsung (Android)?
❤ the informative video!
Hey excellent videos about iPads, please keep up the good work 🙏🏼👍🏼
Used iPad Pro 2017 model for both my kids until it was dropped multiple times, even slightly bent and finally both cameras stopped working but still the iPad works so smooth.
Upgraded to iPad Air with M1 processor 256gb for my younger kid and also iPad Pro 11” 512gb with M2 processor for another school going kid which are both super powerful and way more sufficient for both kids for probably next 5 years..
Anyway thanks again for all your iPads videos, really good content
your kids are some lucky kids
You didn't have to get so much storage. I'm a teacher and have 256 GB and tbh 128 GB would've been enough, too.
The ipads airs are more than enough for school kids. Overkill even. Don't overspend so much...
jesus christ those are overkill
I got ipad mini 6 from watching your videos it helps me a lot thank you so much
Super glad I was able to help!
your videos are so awesome and so helpful
Got the iPad 10 a little while back, honestly, its worth it. Only drawback I've faced is the use of an adapter for pairing since it uses the lightning apple pencil, and its a constant fear of not losing it since its quite small. But overall its solid for what its showcased for since I primarily use it for notetaking and casual use.
I really appreciate you taking the time to share your actual user experience!!!
I'm thinking of getting one for drawing and playing some games, Would you recommend this over Air 5?
@@ClumsyHumane I would actually recommend the air 5 (if you wouldn't mind paying the extra) because it has the Apple pencil gen 2 as well as the m1 chip. But for casual gaming and drawing the gen 10 is more than capable, it's just that the air 5 has a bit more spec wise. Both are ideally the same with minor differences, if you have the money you should go for the air 5, if not the gen 10 should suffice.
Use a a lightning to usb c charger for the pencil
@@ClumsyHumaneI would recommend a refurbished air 4. Such a great deal
I still have the first gen iPad Pro 12.9 inch from 2015, youtube is the only app that still runs on it because there is only 32 GB storage and iOS alone uses 14 GB. Definitely time for an upgrade but just need to know whats worth it in terms of customisation and if I should do Air or Pro.
What are your thoughts on some of the older iPad Pro versions? (If they can be found?)
Thanks for the informative comparisons. I'm looking to purchase an iPad Pro for viewing photos while I shoot (I'm a photog), and for my clients to view also during a shoot. I use my MacBook while in the studio, but was considering an iPad for on location as I expect it would be easier to hold and lighter. A feature that is very important for me, as I'll be on location, is brightness. Between the Pro 11" and the 12.9", is 12.9 much brighter than the 11". Thanks in advance.
It's a great coverage of the current iPads, so the video is a very useful.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for being part of the channel!
A NOTE TO ALL VIEWERS: This is one of the most informative and thorough channels on CZcams to provide information about Apple products! Anyone in the market for Apple machines would benefit tremendously from viewing Tech Gear Talk content during the purchase decision making process!
Thank you very much for the kind words 🙏🏻
Yeah you're right
I got my first iPad, which is iPad Air 5 and used it for four months. I loved it especially when I used it for digital art and notetaking in college classes.
Hey 64gb is enough for that ? I am so confused whether to get the 64gb with an external ssd or directly get the 256 gb by spending 14k more bucks . Pls help
@@timotilego6400if its for college or work, i think 64gb will do, but if you can afford the extra space go for it if you think it’s necessary
Really good review, thanks 👍
Center Stage is the feature on the camera that allows users to remain in the center of the camera. Stage Manager is the feature that allows users multi app use along with the ability to use an external display without the bars on the side of the extra screen.
Correct.
I have iPad mini 2022, iPad Pro 11 2018 & iPad Pro 12.9 2022 and the least I use is 12.9 coz of the HUGENESS of it! I just want to try it that’s why I bought it. And the itch of just buying 😂. Though my workaround now is to use a pocket & portable laptop stand while on the go and tall stand on the office coz my main use is just a portable 2nd monitor for 12.9.
The best one for me is iPad 11 pro! Even my 2018 still rocks!
Rocking the same lineup 😂
i always like your review, humble
Thank you for the kind word and support.
I’ve been using a 12.9 inch Pro since 2015, I would never go back, I’d only ever go forwards to an even bigger iPad Pro
Great information-rich video. I bought the iPad Air 5.😊
Ty for the kind words and congrats on the iPad Air 5!
Hey 64gb is enough for that ? I am so confused whether to get the 64gb with an external ssd or directly get the 256 gb by spending 14k more bucks . Pls help
@@timotilego6400 For me it is completely sufficient. However, if you back up a lot of files, you should opt for more storage.
I have an old IPad 8 and was wanting to upgrade, I mostly use this IPad for gaming what IPad would you suggest for gaming and media consumption?
What are your thoughts should i wait for thr newest ipad or buy now?
I have the IPad 9 and it’s fine with me! Thought about getting the newest newest iPad but really my daughter uses the iPad more than me. I prefer my m2 MacBook over anything for work related/web stuff
Good move! I would definitely keep the older iPad for as long as it continues to serve your (and your daughter’s) needs.
Well done tricking me into watching a sponsored ad in the video. Smooth transition.
Have you heard any rumours of the 2023 year iPads? I’m looking to replace my 2017 10.5” iPad Pro
thanku so so much i was looking for a video which can help me to select which i pad i should buy its none other but IPAD AIR
So glad the video was helpful. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Thanks for guidance 😊
Love your videos man keep up the good work ❤
Thanks Amir!
Hey Tech Gear! Been watching alot of your videos on the M2 IPad Pro and Mac Minis! You’re reviews on them have made me decide on a IPad Pro + Mac Mini combo but I wanted to ask your thoughts on what should I invest more money on?
I want the IPad Pro to be able to do some gaming, media consumption, and 1080p video editing for YT. The Mac Mini would be used for any serious video editing that is limited on the IPad.
Would you suggest getting the 1 TB model of the IPad Pro since it has 16GB of ram or would you invest that $400 on getting the base model of the M2 Pro Mac Mini?
Regardless I am getting both. Its just a matter of what would be the specs! Both are around $2500 combined
Thanks for being part of the channel! I would get 16GB of RAM on a Mac Mini before I got it on the iPad Pro. I hope that helps.
@@TechGearTalk my bad for not being clear!
The Question was to invest the $400 on the 16GB 1TB model of the IPad Pro + M2 Mac Min 16 GB 512GB combo or invest the $400 into getting the base $1199 model of the M2 Pro Mac Mini + IPad Pro 512GB 8GB combo?
I really like the wallpapers on the iPads ! What are their names ?
I’m currently rockin the 11 inch M1 Pro, but I’m wanting the 12.9 inch pro badly for video editing. I haven’t pulled the trigger bc I know the new ones are right around the corner 👀
Unless there are significant improvements, I would even look at M1 12.9
The new ipads are delayed to 2024 but if you are patient enough then yes you can wait
Bro you have to tell me where you got those 2D wallpapers . I love them and I need them .
I have the iPad mini 2 and still use it. But its kinda outdated and I want a new one.
I cant decide If I want to buy the iPad mini 6 or the iPad air 5. I only use my iPad to watch videos and series on so I guess Im kinda wasting money for not fully using the iPad to its max.
So can someone confince which iPad would be better for watching videos and series? Maybe Im also gonna use it for school If it comes in handy.
I’m confused as hell with all these!
I’ve been using a 13 year old iMac and it seems to be on its last leg.
I never get on it other than to pay bills every 2 weeks. I usually scroll and search on my iPhone.
I was considering another iMac or MacBook but then was thinking why not a iPad.
Verizon is giving away a free iPhone 15pro, a free iPad 9th gen 64gb, and a free Apple Watch SE. only thing that I’m debating is do I really need the monthly service on each device, or just go buy a cheap iPad and use Wi-Fi only. The 9th gen seems to be the one to get for my needs. Mostly just to pay bills and surf a bit. Also I’m debating on the 256 just to be safe
Should I get mini 6 or air 4. I want it 1st hand.
what do u think abt the ipad air 4 compared to the 5?
great job as always! very helpful
Thank you so much!
I have the Ipad Pro 11" 2020 and I use it everyday! The only thing I don't like about it is the slow charging time. I use it every day as a teacher - so I'm a "medium" user I'd say. The batterylife is still at 96%!!! I will keep it until it is dead. 100% worth it's money!
I have an iPad Pro 12.9” 1st generation and it doesn’t tell me what my battery life is like but I’ve had it for around 7 years and it’s still holding strong. I use it all day and it can still keep a charge for over 6 hours of streaming. iPad pros are simply built different.
Do I have to buy the keyboard from the apple site ?
iPad Air 5 (64gb/cellular) perfect for college.
Especially when paired with a Magic Keyboard.
very powerful combo!
And the blue colour is so clean
Hey 64gb is enough for that ? I am so confused whether to get the 64gb with an external ssd or directly get the 256 gb by spending 14k more bucks . Pls help
@@timotilego6400 in college we mainly use online portals for projects so the extra storage makes no difference. In addition I use Google docs/sheets which is online too. The 5g is great when campus WiFi is slow, many times in the semester people ask if my WiFi is working because they can’t connect and I get to explain I’m on cellular, subtle flex lol
When is the student discount gonna start?
Hi one question! Is the camera quality of an ipad and an iphone the same? Could you please specify it?
Hi. The iPhone cameras are better. Hope that helps.
For the iPad 10th gen couldn’t you just use a lightning to usb c to charge the pencil instead of buying an adapter
You would need a female lightning cable - but yes. It’s someone did even with previous generations.
I have a 10 year old Ipad and was thinking of replacing it. I see Apple is still doing the memory upgrade thing, $150? Why? Lets move on from this memory upgrade/upsale already. Add in some real value for my $150.
I miss your Canon camera videos tbh; they were the most explanatory id ever come across.
I know based on analytics they might've not done or do as well as the Apple/Samsung products, but damn man that was some serious high quality content.
You're still killing it with this style of content though man its inspiring to see how far you've come.
What about me please some advices i want an iPad to use for my college and for editing too ?,
love your videos
I appreciate you!
Just get an m2 pro…thats what i did. Yeah, they’re a bit expensive but they’re powerful as hell and much more “future proof”. The fact that Apple hasn’t yet taken advantage of its full capability tells you everything you need to know. I think thats a good strategy when it comes to technology, period. Look for the device that has more power than necessary. It will remain relevant for longer.
Most consumers don't have the extra to shell out for features they may never use. Sure it's more powerful but what good is all that fluff if say a student got it and only used it for note-taking or school work? Of course it varies person to person but I'm pretty sure Apple products have long time support even if they stop making a ipad model. My Air 4 still gets all the updates that comes out and I've had it for 2 years
Can you make a video about old ipad which is still worth buying like ipad 7th or mini 4
(My budget is super low)
Good idea - let me see what I can do!
I recently purchased an iPad Air to replace my Mini 6 (was missing the larger size). Can’t bring myself to sell it though lol.
Appreciate you being part of the channel!
Hey I’m debating whether the air or the mini as a student I have a MacBook already which would you recommend?
@@cristianguido3635 I would recommend the Air if you’re a student, the iPad Mini for the more casual user.
Does anyone know how to find the wallpapers at the thumbnail?
Thank you for the comparing all iPad.
I really hope it was helpful!
Where do you get your wallpapers
unrelated but what's that "green paper" u use to see through devices called?
where do you get those coll wallpapers??? i never happen to find them
So may I ask which one is better for PUBG on a budget like price for the 10
I am a student and a beginner. I want to learn how to illustrate, so my main software is 'Procreate'.
I saw this video but I am still unable to understand which model will be the most efficient for me?
Omg same I'm so confused rn
What is the wallpaper that you used
Would it not fix the storage issue if you just upgrade your iCloud storage?
No
Hey which game is shown at 6:18 ? Looks graphic intensive & console quality almost. :D
It’s starwars: Jedi fallen order. Xbox gamepass. Hope that helps.
@@TechGearTalk Thanks a bunch. Love your content. So informative & succinct.
anyone recommend the ipad for following use?
main: im a nerd here so currently on my phone (iphone 8 plus, 64gb, bought it back in 2018) i have alot of pdfs, notes and documents for stuff like tabletop rpgs. other stuff like audiobooks, pictures are there too but mainly what i use my phone is rpg related stuff with groups i run for. pref mini due to weight but i can work with larger if i buy one of those tablet covers with built in keyboard. use social media apps, video, rpg aids and music. the only video game on there is a digital board game that i rarely play so video games for tablet is at lowest priority. edit: to add for pictures its primarily screen shots or specific saved images from pdfs, rarely use phone cam to take pictures.
so with that what would be the ideal ipad? for celluar options is it recommended or nah? if recommend does it require a known phone plane or i can go cheap/simple for it like cricket for exm?
I am confused between 4th air and 5th ?? Also 64gb will be good ?? 256gb is quite pricey
5th gen has the m1 chip
I’m trying to hop in to the Apple eco system I have the phone MacBook and watch but a s tab 7 which I’m happy with what’s the equivalent iPad that matches up with s tab 7 lcd 11 in tablet?
My preference gaming I should go for iphone or ipad be honest bro
Okay I'm super confused now I'm a student can someone tell be is air the best ?? For students?
Thanks for the tip. I found the base iPad 9 for $250 on Amazon.
So glad I could help. Great deal! Thank you for being part of the community!

Hi, as long as the app you're using for illustrations works - any iPad would work. If you want a larger display, I would even look at used, older 12.9" iPad Pro. Hope that helps.

I appreciate the support 🙏🏻
ipad 8th is still working fine and its still doing the job really well and its still greate device for me
Excellent! Keep it for as long as possible.
wallpaper link?
0:54 what do you call that green paper thing
Confused between 10th and air. Majority use is multimedia only. Pls suggest.
I would save my money and get the 10. No need to upgrade.
I'd say air, preferably 4th Gen. It has some benefits like laminated displays and such.
