Air is what's left in your pocket buying this.

My iPad 6th gen has not been through a battery replacement program yet, and it is still holding up quite well around 4-5 hours of general using; surfing the internet, reading pdf etc.

The diagonal speakers are a major improvement, giving stereo sound in both landscape and portrait orientation. Stereo speakers on iPads was first introduced in 2012 with the first iPad Mini, with two speakers on the bottom edge (in portrait orientation). This gave stereo sound in the portrait orientation, which was the primary orientation for iPads at the time. The problem was you didn’t get stereo sound in landscape orientation. In 2015, the first iPad Pro came with quad speakers and an official keyboard. This slowly shifted the primary orientation from portrait to landscape. Of course quad speakers work in both orientations, but all of the others iPads still don’t get quad speakers to this day. The landscape speakers in the iPad Air 2020 solved one problem but created the other. Both speakers were on the left (portrait) or bottom (landscape) edge, so no stereo sound for portrait orientation. Stereo sound for both orientations finally come to the iPad Air for this M2 generation. The iPad Pros in fact have 8 speakers in total since 2018, a tweeter and a woofer at each of the 4 corners. If Apple markets the Pros as having 8 speakers, we should get 4 on the Air. Finally, I want to see an X-ray for the 11 inch Air, to see if the diagonal speakers has been implemented there as well. (I don’t think Apple would do this. They are lazy as seen in the 10.9 inch screen size of the Air. It is still 10.9 inch according to the fine prints. It’s not 11.0 inch. They most likely would use the same non-diagonal speakers from the previous generation.)

A bit of correction, iPad Pros have always had 4 speakers, but, since 2018, the two bottom speakers act as woofers, and the two top speakers act as tweeters. No matter the orientation, you’ll always the highs from the top speakers, and you’ll get the mids / low end from the bottom speakers

I think the iPad Pro 13“ was missing a bit compared to this excellent teardown. I like that we got a view inside the pencil but there are just some parts missing that are in here for the Air. Nice work!

Awesome & Thanks :)

Why the sound is so quiet?

Well done. I would rather rebuild my 6 speed 2004 Explorer transmission (which I did). I imagine all the glue is water proofing. My Ultra 2 watch has a "water resistance" rating of 100 meters under ISO standard 22810. I will never go close to that. My 15 Pro Max is rated at 18 meters for 30 minutes. I did test that at Biscayne Bay FL Still works. Never had a doubt on the watch. But yeah - the tear-down is only 1/3 of the job.

Destructive this Assembly anyone?

apple don't repair, they replace.

Air mean the product come with more air inside

There is so much empty space in this one...

That nomenclature is for their impact on our wallets... "Air" is lighter on our wallets than the "Pro", "Mini" has an even smaller impact and The Normal iPad has no impact whatsoever according to Apple!

Uh the battery is rated for 1000 cycles, what do you mean “next time maybe it can last longer than 2 years”? It should last 3 years easily.

Begs the question doesn’t mean raises the question.

It's weird that Ipad air has heavier battery but lesser amount of watt 🤔🤔

i still dont get why people compare a stylus to the Apple pencil. The First is basically needed to operate the device and the latter is an accessory for drawing, not at all the same.

Old school mobile phones and tablets could be operated by finger or stylus. I don't get why you're insisting it's not a stylus just because it's optional? I insist that it's not a "pencil", because it's not an encased stick of graphite and you can't write on paper with it like every other "pencil". Perhaps you should check the dictionary definition of "pencil", you may be shocked!

Replaceable storage would be awesome but seeing as how they still charge exorbitant amounts for slow storage on Macs and iPads, not gonna happen.

Hooray for pull tabs which Moto phones still don't use. Sigh, iPads aren't a part of self-service repair

My iPad Air is from 2015 has never been needed to be repaired nor the battery changed. However battery life is down of course. The usability is going down since it’s only got 128 MB of memory. Maybe I got lucky that nothing broke or maybe I took good care of my equipment😂 My decision on which is going to be my next iPad is still open. But I’m quite certain it’s going to be an.11 inch 512 MB.

iPad batteries have better quality than iPhone batteries

The air being heavier than the pro is such a late-stage Apple move it's almost funny. I remember when every Apple launch felt like Christmas day, now it's just: what old features are they going to pawn off as new and revolutionary this time? Like imagine releasing a "new" keyboard almost 10x the price of a normal one and the major "update" is that it now has a function button row... you know like every other keyboard ever. And of course it's not backwards compatible because they made a tiny size adjustment to justify it. And don't get me started on the pricing ladder that overcharges for basic memory upgrades to the point of criminality. God what a sad company it's become. I was an Apple fanboy for so many years, but at some point enough was enough.

Even the basic polycarbonate white macbook 15yrs ago had twice as many ports as a 2024 MBPro with a "pro" spec chip, and they make a song and dance out of giving you one extra port on the right hand side. They made such a good SoC with the M series and the marketing team's greed managed to ruin it skimping on cheap memory. Later this year they'll raise the M4 chips MBPro to 12GB because it's literally the cheapest memory they can implement now that industry standard is 16GB base, and they'll act like their fanbase should be happy about it 🤦‍♂ Happy to pay Apple base prices at a premium, just don't rip us off on sub par base specs and upgrades!
