Thank you for this. I was a little concerned when the Air 4 came out with the same design as my beloved ipad pro 2018. This cleared a lot of stuff up!

What about the refurbished 2017 iPad Pro that’s about $150-200 cheaper?

This is exactly what I needed! They were both the same price so I went with the Air 4 at the last minute. I couldn't justify spending $600 on something almost 3 years old. I was also worried about the battery after 2 to 3 years of owning it, the battery would be 5 to 6 years old. I feel like I would be chained to the power outlet. I'm also not a power user, just media and web surfing.

She considered an iPad Air but wanted the additional memory available with the Pro, the 4 speakers with the Pro, the screen refresh rate with the Pro, the slightly greater screen brightness with the Pro, and the face recognition on the Pro.

This is the type of content that will get you the views :) Thank you for this video!

Great video Noah !

I have the iPad Pro 2020 and im really glad I chose it 😍

Finally the video I wanted to see.

I haven't had an iPad since it first came out. But the Air 4 is a gorgeous piece of technology. The A14 is the latest and greatest that will last for years to come. Gaming is smooth as butter. Carrying it around feels like a feather. Holding the flat edges feels like an expensive portal to the internet world.

Would buying a refurbished iPad Pro as opposed to a used one make any difference when debating whether to buy the Pro or the Air 4? (The refurbished pro is cheaper than a brand new Air 4)

Great video! Noah, Really having a hard time deciding between an iPad Air (4) 64gb with the magic keyboard and pencil or the new Pro 11” and wait/save for the extras. Wait for it to ship and wait for the pencil and keyboard as I save for a few months to get those accessories. Or get the 64 air. My budget is very tight, but I’ll get the education discount. The difference between the 256 air and 128 pro is like $50. But the 64 air would give me room for those necessary accessories and no waiting. I sold my MacBook Air laptop to make this happen. I have a desktop iMac I rarely use. Main use for iPad will be writing papers, web browsing, email, bit of zoom, media consumption and streaming, reading, editing photos, note taking and light drawing. Playing some games. It will be my first iPad in many years and I’m really excited. What would you do? Is 64gb enough? I should also mention I have a ton of iCloud storage. 1 terabyte.

Much awaited 🔥

My ipad air is coming today!!! Cant wait!!

My take on this is if you like the colors and want an extra year of support go for the Air, otherwise, pick up the 2018 iPad Pro, it's a much better value even though it's used but the Air is not that bad either. If you have a lower budget I would choose something like the iPad 8th generation or the iPad Air 3 from last year.

i feel like color choice is kinda irrelevant since you’ll most likely be using a case on your ipad (unless it’s one of those cases that show the color of the ipad) but that’s my personal take, otherwise iPad pro would be the way to go

Where would you recommend getting a 2018 pro?

Just one thing missing, will the old smartkeyboard folio work on the ipad air?

a case that raises only the corners of the ipad pro 11 will work on the ipad 4?

I just bought an apple certified refurbished 2018 pro and I can’t wait to receive it in the mail 😍

I like the thicker bezels! Extra ease to hold > extra screen real estate between these for me

bro i have a doubt iam interested in buying the ipad pro 2nd gen will it last for at least 3 years without any lag

Thanks! This video helped me

Is there already a way to get the battery status of an iPad without having to connect it to a Mac?

I want the air 4 simply for the chip and software support, and I can buy it new

The flash light is actually more useful than the back facing camera for my usage.

According to apple when you buy a refurbished iPad from them they put in a new battery, is that not true since you said the air will perform better in terms of battery life?

Which should i choose -🙏 Ipad air 4 or ipad pro 11inch a12z ???

I completely lucked out this August and got a brand new IPad Pro 11 2018 64GB from Best Buy Canada. It also came with a Speck Folio case and Toucan Glass screen protector. Aside from using a leftover BestBuy gift card.the price was $799CDN, plus tax, which is like $6 US😬 This review confirms, that on par, the 2018 is better than the Air 4 save, perhaps future iPad OS support, and some raw single processor tasks (A14 vs A12X)

Between the Ipad pro 12.9 inch generation and ipad pro 11 inch 2018, which one is better

Do you think the ipad pro 11 2018 will fit the case of ipad air 4? The camera position is the same isn't?

If I buy the Pro from 2018 instead of the Air is it true that it will slow down faster over time because it doesn't get updates or is that bs?

Pretty much just 120hz vs better CPU and longevity. Great vid!

I have a hearing deficit so I cannot use the air. I do currently have the 10.5 iPad Pro, how’s that hold up against the iPad Air? I can’t seem to find anything on it.

Does anyone knows if the ipad air 4 case can fit the ipad pro 11 2018? Im using the pro 2018 but nowadays ipad air 4 cases are easier to find because its new to the market. Usually they sell the pro 11 inch 2020 to be used for 2018 but i dont really like it because of the camera difference :(

There is something i would love to see, a comparison between the quality of the mics of each ipad (recording audio), but thank you a lot for the video, i'm still thinking if i buy an ipad pro 2018 or the new air 4 but i'm sure i will be fine and find out what to do in a few days 🙄

Does the iPad Pro 11 inch 2018 case fit the iPad Air 4 generation?

Also, what's that tune you were playing for the sound test? It's stuck in my head!

The air does have antenna bands if you buy the cellular model.

Coming from iPad Pro 9.6 2016 shall I upgrade to iPad Pro 2020 or iPad air4?

Thanks you guys

@Noah Herman : you should clean the screen of your tablets for making the video. But still a pleasure to hear your comments :)

You really read my mind 🤯

Can you compare the ipad pro with M1 vs the ipad air (new) Please compare and contrast. Do i need a separate keyboard? Tell me about cases also. Thanks. Alot ..

Can you put a link for the 2018 ipad plz

Noah, would you make the same recommendations for these two devices in Mar 2023? I'm looking to buy an iPad used and am considering the iPad 9, ipad air 4, and the Pro 1st gen. I see them in good condition going for about 4-450 usd. I'm living outside of the US so pricing is much higher here as second hand devices are harder to come by. The 9th is basically new (still has apple guarantee 8mths) and I think the air 4 is about a year old.

Pro - 120hz screen, flash (if u even care about that), slight graphical improvement, Face ID, better speakers Air - possibly longer support from Apple (iPadOS updates), different colors, worse display (although still great), Honestly I say the pro is a better choice as u can find them for similar prices

I actually don’t think that the Air will get supported much longer. The A14 obviously has a better single core performance than the A12X, but that one is just used for small tasks like opening apps. The A12X still has a slightly better multi core performance. So I think it would be the case as with the iPad Air 2, which got supported for 8 years. So yes, the iPad Pro 2018 is a much better choice.

where can i get a ipad pro 2018? because it isn’t on the apple website

Should i stick with my ipad pro 11 2018? I legit just got it for my bday last april. Or should i just get this one again and maybe sell the old one;/

I was gonna buy the 2020 11inch iPad Pro but I upgraded from the 2014 iPad Air 2 to the 2020 iPad Air 4. It’s a huge upgrade for me.

So the pro’s case is compatible with the air 5&4 ? So if I just buy an old gen ipad pro case ( like the 2018 ipad pro )it would be the same ? Cuz I couldn’t find cool cases & accessories when I search “case for ipad air 5 or 4” 😢 can I use the old ipad pro case ?

Hello! ) Does anyone knows? Do cases for iPad Air 4 fits on iPad Pro 11 2018? The thickness on Air 4 is on 2mm thicker. Does it matter for buttons and so on? Thank you 💛💙

Love my 2018 iPad Pro.

Very tough choice indeed between the two, but if you managed to find a well used 2018 pro definitely go for that. Although bare in mind that over 1000 days of usage is bound to have some wear and tear in the parts and component, battery capacity, switches, buttons, face ID not working etc.
