I just wanted something to use to read my textbooks in a comfortable way and draw/annotate diagrams but I guess it would be good for streaming and browsing nonetheless. I couldn’t justify paying so much given my fairly light use so for less than a brand new iPad 9 I bought a used iPad Pro 10.5. Feels like a bargain, for less money, it has thinner bezels - a larger screen in the same chassis, anti reflective coating and important to me - a laminated display!, faster Touch ID 2, and the best part is it outclasses the current Air that costs 3x more in the areas that people choose the Pro for - 120hz and quad speakers - loving both features. Plus a good camera too with OIS and a flash for a torch. Feels like an amazing bargain to enjoy Pro level features for less than the base model!

I just bought my 1st ever iPad and I got the 12.9" Pro. I don't have a laptop, just an iMac so, with the MKB, it bridges the gap to my iPhone perfectly. Yes, I could've got a MacBook Pro for the same price, but MacBooks don't come with touch screens, so I've got the best of both worlds IMO. I use Scrivener on my iMac and the iPad now gives me a portable solution. I also bought the new iPad Air for my wife, along with an Apple Pencil (she has a MacBook Pro), and she's thrilled with it.

I'm glad someone actually produced a video like this. I was pretty confused with all the iPads out there! 👌👏

I feel like 128 gb is the sweet spot for storage on these devices. Like you said, they are masters of upselling. If the Air had a 128 option it’d be good for my needs.

Excellent video Tom. Really comprehensive and accurate piece of work! Video quality seems sharper and brighter than usual, perhaps new lighting used but it really grabs your attention and is crystal clear. Thumbs up all around

I got lost admiring the quality of this video. The lighting is so perfect and consistent. Looks very vivid and gorgeous.

This is the only complete overview of the whole 2022 iPad line I've seen. Thanks for this video. It's helping me decide on what I would like, and might officially pull the trigger on expanding into the iPad market. I, too, am frustrated that the iPad Air only comes in 64 and 256. Give us 128 at a price between the 64 and 256.....and take my money! 64 just seems far too little. Especially for $599. I may be holding out for the next one to see if the iPad Air can come in 128.

6:07 this is one of the perks to being left-handed, I hold my phone and iPads etc the other way as it is more comfortable and more convenient for me.

I just recently bought my iPad 9th gen and I mainly use it for school - like taking down notes and editing. I'm very satisfied with it. I was torn between buying the 9th gen for its budget friendly price or the iPad pro for its M1 chip. However, I realized that I'm mainly using it for school and not really doing some heavy stuff, so I chose 9th gen with 256gb❤️. I watch Netflix on my iPad too from time to time. It's definitely worth it and I love it! 😁

First class review. Clear and concise. Best I have seen for any computer on KZread.

You forgot to mention that for the iPad 9th gen as magic keyboard alternative you can get the Logitech combo touch which has a trackpad, connects through smart connectors, and has way more viewing angles. Basically Logitech folio touch for budget iPad.

Note the extra usb c port on the Magic Keyboard can ONLY be used for charging. You can’t use it to for example connect a external drive or other accessories.

What an essential video to get into apple ecosystem (ipads in this case) Thanks!

Love your humour, Tom. Always makes me chuckle. Thanks for making my day!

My iPad2 died last night unexpectedly after many years of use. Looking at the options in today's video ...I am mega confused as to what to go for. Well done Apple for making the decision really difficult. I will sit on my hands for now.

Honestly, the iPad Mini 6 is the most worthwhile device Apple has made in recent memory. If you don't need more than 64 gigs, absolutely get it. It's exceptionally beautiful and fun to use

Just bought iPad Pro 2020 128GB wifi+cellular for the price of base ipad air 5. I really need the cellular for gaming on the go. Overall im very satisfied with my purchase since i went with a pro model, 120fps is really nice to have.

Very very good points. I was going for ipad Air and then you pointed out the price point is near ipad pro already. Apple is really good with this pricing ladder. For the cellular version of the iPad, I would recommend it. As someone who experiencing losing their ipad before, that cellular version will come handy as having wifi only would not give you a real-time GPS tracking if ever you lose your ipad. So shedding a few more dollars for the cellular version is a good investment. Unless you have iphone (I use Android for phones, I know), then just grab the airtag instead of the cellular version. Again, it really depends on your needs and situation. But for someone who uses android and iPad combos, shedding out a few more dollars on the cellular version would be the best bet

Since I'm using my iPad mostly for drawing and progressively I'll be doing more 3d/ AR I will upgrade for a 12'9" hopefully this year - but my base iPad has been great for the past 4 years and definitely what I'd recommend too for anyone who doesn't have a very specific case use (or bottomless reserves of money 😅)

I got my iPad Pro M1 11 last year and I have been loving it! Really excited for stage manager!⚡️

The next iteration of iPad Pro M1 11” needs a mini LED to set itself further apart from the new iPad Air 5. The value vs premium comparison of the latest Air vs current 11” pro is definitely blurred. Either way, it’s a great pair with a Magic Keyboard or a Logitech Touch (that also has a touchpad and uses the pogo connectors) and the Apple Pencil 2. The base iPad also has a great Logitech keyboard and touchpad option as well!

When I saw the mini I had SO many doubts but when I saw the specks I fell In love and got it and so far It’s AMAZING and the jelly scrolling problem is unnoticeable 7/10

I got myself an iPad pro, 11 inch, 2nd gen (2020,) it’s perfect for me. Face ID, 120 HZ refresh rate, large screen and fast processing. It’s basically like my iPhone, except larger and without the phone.

the best comparison video i have watch so far for ipad. very helpful. thank you!

This is the best comparison video I came across, thank you! Headed to get the iPad mini 6 now :-)

My 12.9 third generation with the A12X still feels very quick. I think most people would have trouble seeing the performance difference between mine and the newer pros, for now at least. As time goes on the performance improvements made will become more noticeable. Plus all of the Magic keyboards for the 5th gen 12.9 will work on my ipad as well. So if you can score a used or refurbished 3rd gen for a decent price I'd say it would be worth considering. I also have the promotion display and Second gen apple pencil support.

Considering battery drainage and reducing eye strain, I would definitely recommend going for a 11” iPad Pro. I am experiencing the use of it and the use is satisfying (especially health-wise). Other than that I recommend this iPad Pro 11” not just because of not wasting (or using) too much money, but also because it takes less space. Price wise I say it’s not just taxes that matter, but also the price of the product itself affects the user’s experience. Not to mention that glass isn’t much of a good thing to use as material, as I definitely would go for titanium (since it’s a very durable, yet a strong metal) over glass with such an expensive price. Apple needs to start thinking more about what to do to reduce or permanently put an end to battery health reduction (especially when cases come to software performance).

I got the 11 inch 2022 iPad Pro because First of all i needed a bit More Storage then 64 gigs of the air and there only was the air 4th gen on the market aswell. And if you consider that the air with 256 gigs costs almost the Same as the pro it just wasnt worth it for me. But i really love That form factor. Nice vid btw 👍

I have the regular iPad 8th gen, and it has everything I need as a college student. I feel like if you have the funds to spend on the pro then go for it, but if you don't then the 9th gen will work just fine.

i got a ipad when i was 6 years old, the ipad 5 32 gb. And its been great for me. But i use editing apps and take up lots of storage. Ive just gotten to the point where its not quite enough for me anymore. So i'm upgrading all the way to a ipad pro 11" thanks for making this, it really helps!

Depends on what you use it for, I have a pro 12.9 for at home, like for a small tv when other people are watching the main tv, or as an extra one when there’s more than 1 sport on, and I have the mini 6, for when I’m travelling and there’s a tv show or cricket on!!!

Purchased a 256gb unit full heartedly knowing I’m not going to fill it up but a year and a half later, I’m already maxing out the storage, but then again it depends on the person that uses it.

After watching your video it certainly clarified some things of the differences that I wasn’t aware of and I think I’ve made the right choice. I’ve now forwarded your video to some of my family and friends who were unsure of the differences. Great video and I’ve subscribed today, thank you 👍 p.s my last iPad was an iPad 3 so only decided yesterday enough was enough 😂. I still think it’s a capable iPad but no money in making apps like KZread compatible for it which is a shame, it’s not the same using the browser as a work around the popular apps 😊

I use my 11in iPad Pro for 98 percent of what I need to do. I splurged for 1TB for the extra storage, and mostly the 16gb of ram. I don’t regret it, I love the portability of the iPad Pro, I always felt silly with carrying a 13-15in laptop around with me.

I was going to get the iPad 10.2 9th gen (64GB) just for online use and streaming since I got an iMac M1 already so needed something portable. Ended up getting the iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) 64GB like new condition and paid 550usd for it. I can't resist the big, beautiful screen and 120hz. Definitely worth the extra $200+ dollars.

I would like to raise my hand in favour of cellular models, tbh. My story is that I immediately got the Mini because I knew what I was going to use it for. The Mini comes along with me to the gym, cafes, relaxing on the bed, it’s the perfect size, aaand, I stick magnetic plates on the back of my casing, stick some more on my dashboard, and split the screen for music and gps for my drives. I did initially thought I’d just hotspot it everywhere. But, I regretted that since it was noticeably slow when I’m using the gps that I was missing some toll exits. And I had to carry my phone and the Mini too while working out. I use fitness apps, and it’s obviously better to watch them on an iPad than a phone. Note: there are instances when I don’t want want my phone to be around; too many notifications etc, can’t be bothered. So, after some while I started to get irritated. Didn’t think I would, but time proved me wrong. So I changed it to the cellular model, and to me, it really made a difference. But hey, that’s for me. :)

Really fine review, for which I am grateful. I had decided on the mini 6, whose design I love. Thanks for being so down to earth in considering costs, benefits, and user profile. You've seen the David Hockney tablet produced art, I suppose.(?)

Excellent video. I have a 2008 iPad Pro (12.9”, 512GB). It does everything I want it to do(word processing, watching videos, etc.), but I sure like the improved contrast of the new 12.9” Pro screen and the “future proofing” of an M1 or M2 chip. As much as I’m tempted, I think I’ll wait another year.

I just upgraded to the new iPad Air from the 9.7in iPad. I had it for around 4 years and it worked super well. I still have it but the battery is completely useless, unfortunately. It lasts maybe 30mins on a full charge. I may yet get the battery replaced so I can give the iPad to my sibling (they’d appreciate it for youtube/drawing but don’t need a super new iPad for what they want) but I decided to upgrade for myself as I was planning to do so anyway next year. So far, the iPad Air has been great. I’m a student so most of what I use my iPad for is taking notes, and the bigger screen and thinner bezels has been absolutely awesome to write on. It’s the first time I’ve used two apps side by side and actually enjoyed it. On the 9.7in, it was just a little bit too small to feel comfortable. I went for the base 64GB model as my last iPad was 32GB so 64GB is still an upgrade and it’s just been a very sleek and enjoyable experience. I feel like the Air is a perfect upgrade for someone upgrading from an older iPad.

Just bought a 12.9" Pro two days ago. Mainly to replace work notebooks with digital so they're searchable. Currently struggling up the learning curve of the main notetaking apps to see which one suits me best.

Best review ever!!! thank you for simplifying for us.

I saw this video in recommendation and I think I’m gonna get the mini

I really like this guide. But I'd like to know your best recommendation for an ipad that could be used mainly for digital art on apps such as procreate.

I didn't use a tablet before recently having same feeling that it's more of an unnecessary luxury in case you already have phone and laptop. but sincerely now after I got one (Xiaomi (mi) pad 5 more specifically) I just feel like I am using it way more often than I thought... I prefer to watch stuff on it more than on my laptop giving the weight and portability features and the truth is it often happens that the screen is better for media consumptions than for the laptop.. not to mention that you don't have to eventually boot it up it's just more of a pick it up and use it situation (now I know Macbooks don't actually require much of a boot up, but for the rest of us that are usually using windows... :D ) In any case sometimes just for consumption I often feel like I leave my laptop behind for many days if I don't have any specific work on it. So for me having a nice tablet is quite a great deal and a life quality improvement. Speaking of tablets... the Xiaomi pad 5 is still an awesome deal in 2022 and you can find it new with some deals at prices as low as 330$ on some sites. It is an excellent tablet. And I'd seriously be curious to see your comparison of the mi pad 5 against the normal iPad and the iPad Air.

HARDCORE iPad user here. I use my iPads for musician work (sheet music) and mobile presentations (keynote). Laptops won’t cut it there: touchscreen needed + keyboards get in the way. 12’9 is perfect size for sheet music. It can replace 100s of A4/ Letter size pages… and you can have them nicely organized on your iPad. Switching to iPads was a game changer for me. Smaller 11 inch (10’9) or even 10’2 can still be ok for sheet music… if you can keep your notation close or have a good eyesight. It is a bit smaller than the standard A4/ Letter size page of music though. I can’t comment if iPad Mini is usable at all, because I don’t own it. I love the Mini-LED on the 12’9 iPad Pro. The so called „blooming” issue is exaggerated. AMAZING screen (I want a 27 inch desktop version). With that being said, I use my smaller iPads 10’2-11 inch more often for media consumption around the house. They’re more comfortable to carry around.

There is a $12 adapter to charge the gen 1 pencil with a normal lightning cable. And it charges QUICKLY. Just 15 mins to almost full.15 secs for a full 15 min use. You can find it on Amazon worldwide. Just a little tip.

I got the base iPad the day before the new Air got announced, which almost made me question my decision. But I pushed through and I am honestly fine with it. I don't think I need the extra "bells and whistles" that the other versions offer, and I think it can work well as a backup for my laptop and bring it in cases where I don't want to bring my laptop. I also didn't get the cellular version coz I have a pocket wifi and a phone I can tether the data from. What I kind of not like was the fact that it was, ironically, too big for me. I initially wanted the mini, but I got the iPad because of the price. Not a big issue, I just thought that sometimes it felt big and clunky. I guess it really goes down to what you really need it for and you have to see it in person first before you decide. At least next time I would know how to choose, but that would take a long time for me to replace this one.

I’m leaning towards the 12.9” for multitasking and the fact that it’s about the same side as an 8.5” x 11” sheet of paper. I’m also leaning towards the bigger pro because I’ll be using the Combo Touch Logitech keyboard for essays too. However, my classmate next to me uses the iPad Pro 11” just fine while taking notes so I might just save some money by getting that one. Money isn’t a deciding factor to me so, what do you guys think?

Totally love the 12.9, had the 2015 and now use the 2018, for the exact reasons you stated.

So I wanted a iPad Mini, but my dad said it’s small and not as fast as other iPads, so he got me an iPad Air which i love so much. I recommend to get the iPad Air out of all of them.

Well detailed both on the performance comparison and option recommendations

I really had a hard time choosing between the ipad air 5 256gb and the ipad pro 128gb but I chose the former at the end. I valued the storage more than the little spec advantage that the pro offers than the air 5 (though they are close already due to the new M1 chip). My phone has a 128gb storage and it's just not enough for me, what more for an ipad. So I think it's just a matter of preference, but I say the new ipad air 5 is really worth it :)) update: I've switched to ipad air... still the superior tablet

Obviously Apple users would choose the iPad but none Apple users have often bought iPads but I feel like this series could be a turning point (I just bought the S8+, I didn't get the S8 because I wanted the headphones and the nicer screen)

Even the people I know who swear by their Pixels and Galaxy S/Notes choose an iPad, this has to be the Apple product which has the most universal appeal across the board. Samsung can make lovely hardware, but when you have an abandoned tablet platform (there used to be sm android tablets a decade ago) with no one caring to optimise mobile apps for it and tons of class leading apps like Adobe Suite, Procreate and Notability missing… Plus people keep their iPads far longer than phones, and Apple has proven they can do 8 years of day one OS updates to hardware from 2014, I seriously don’t blame people for voting with their wallets and not feeling like they need to get an Android tablet just because they have an Android phone.

First time watching your video and I love it. This video really made my mind clear on which ipad to buy. I am definitely going to watch your videos more for tech advice. Thank you.

Trust me unless you are a professional...the best options is the mini and air...the regular iPad has less feature and the pro models are damn expensive I'm a 2020 A12z 12.9 iPad pro user..i skipped the M1 because the A12z chip is still blazing fast for me

I will buy pro 11 inch 2022 simply because of 120hz display

I got a used iPad Pro 10.5 for less than the cost of a new iPad 9. Slimmer bezels, larger display in the same form, a less reflective and importantly LAMINATED display, 120hz ProMotion, quad speakers, better camera, faster Touch ID 2 like on iPhones 6s and up. Zero complaints, especially given I’m enjoying Pro only features like 120hz and quad speakers for cheaper than the base iPad 9.

@@youreapwhatusow3211 Battery life is the area that you sacrifice with a used device - it doesn’t bother me personally as I use it at home ymmv depending on your needs. I gain far more from these features rather than paying more for a new low end device. There are tons of people who are paying hundreds more for the new iPad Pro for the high end features like 120hz and quad speakers that aren’t even on the $600 iPad Air - so it’s incredible that I can actively enjoy these Pro features for $200. I could even pay for a battery replacement if battery mattered to me and it would be close in total price to the iPad 9 with the qualities of a $1000 iPad Pro.

i did the exact same thing as you and zero regrets. the pro-motion, quad speakers, headphone jack and 4:3 aspect ratio are the features i appreciate the most and luckily mine has little battery degradation. its nice to have the pro features for less than a base ipad price!

Written June 3, 2022 The important thing is which iPad you need for you daily life and consider the pros/cons of both. For example, I bought an iPad mini 5 as my first iPad in 256gb storage because I wanted to use it solely as a gaming/movie/media hub so, out of my 37 ps1-ps4 games on it, I’ve used 133gb total with plenty storage left for movies. The iPad Air + other iPads have a obvious advantage being larger but that also presents cons like faster uncomfortable holding the longer you hold it. The Mini 6 is extremely comfortable to hold for most of the day in your hands via is rounded sides and nearly same height in all directions but suffers if you truly need a bigger screen All do the same thing on IpadOS so a bigger screen don’t really matter unless you use it in a creative job. All both are portable but if you need a bigger screen, hook a USBC in the iPad mini to a tv or computer and boom, you got yourself a iPad Air Edit: also a magnetic keyboard for any non mini iPad is nearly 400$ and it’s not very stable

Really useful & accessible presentation. Thanks 😊

I'm getting the iPad mini 6, I've been drawing in my phone that has a small screen like 2.4 inches by 4.8 inches of usuable screen. It's old but I'm so used to the small screen I felt like delving into a bigger iPad would be wonky for me.

Thank you for pointing out out the "blurry" area between the 256 GB Air 5 and the 128 GB 11" iPad Pro. You recommend sticking with 64 GB. Do you believe 64GB will be sufficient throughout the supported life of the M1 iPads?

No it’s not unless you just stick with the browser all day Which is why having the only other option be a $150 upsell so egregious I think if you can, get a deal from Best Buy. Or Amazon. If you use your iPad a lot then 64gb is so anemic and limiting

@@AugustSchunk I made the mistake of getting 64 GB iPad Pro couple of years ago. I could get by but constantly hated myself. Now when Apple releases something I ignore the 64GB option as if the higher tier one is my only option and if that’s too expensive I won’t buy at all. Like this year I simply decided not buying anything rather than a 64GB one, it’s that painful

It's easy. Need something compact - mini. Need something fullsize - any iPad Pro 11" (fullsize on a budget - Air 64GB+WiFi, any other iPad Air is not worth the money). On a budget - iPad 9. Want something really 'Pro' - iPad Pro 12.9".

Really good video. Nice and clear. Super useful. Thanks!

Apple really needs to consolidate this line up because eventually they have to put 120Hz in mini and air. At that point no one is going to buy Pro 🤨.

At that point iPad Pro might have even better specs Maybe 240hz display? Multiple usb c ports ? Wireless charging and reverse charging (Charge your iPhone using your ipad... I mean you can already do that but if it was wireless it would be better) Front facing lidar camera (for AR) Personally I would love to have usb c video IN 12.9 inch is large enough to use it as a small monitor , you could use it with a Mac mini to turn your iPad into a Mac (There’s already a company that does an adapter for that “Luna display”, but it would be better if it was already on the iPad)

My mum has pro. She loves it. If folks can afford it, I say get it. It’s the flagship of the ipads, just like the watches and phones have flagship versions to them. It all depends on the need and use of the individual.

Bought an iPad pro 11" with a smart folio and 2nd gen apple pencil for me and my gf, about a year ago and tbh it was a genuine great purchase, we dont regret anything. battery life still amazing, no cracks, use it nightly for hulu or media consumption and let alone we use it for drawing daily. Still a beast. Apples come a very long way!

Will get iPad pro M-2 11 inch simply because i play heavy games and already used to 120hz display. But for most people even the base model is great enough
