    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

    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).

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

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 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.

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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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 KZread 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..

    @@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 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.

    I have a 10.5inch 2nd gen iPad pro (2017), and even now I still don’t have a need to upgrade it, and I use mine everyday. Its still really good and gets the job done

    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

    even though i'm not really an apple product user and thus not really a target demographic of these videos i really enjoy these for their writing and presentation style. aside from informational ofc. excellent addition to an already great LTT family
