The iPad Air 2 came out 8 years ago it got 8 years of updates from iOS 8 to iPadOS 15 that’s crazy

[jayhol]

I upgraded from my ipad air 1 to the ipad air 4. The air 1 was just slow and didn’t get any new updates. So I upgraded to the 2020 air and not the 2022 model cuz it is too expensive. The 2020 still performs like it’s new and in combination with apple pencil 2. Awesome workflow for writing notes and drawing things. And I have the full apple eco system with the 2019 macbook air, iphone 13 pro and apple watch S4. So everything works ald updates seamlessly. Even the universal control with the mac and ipad. Awesome feature!

great review man, i like this straight-to-the-point, simpler format VS tech reviewers that flood us with specs. I bought an iPad Pro 12.9 last month but I'm thinking about going back to the smaller size because, as you said, cheaper iPads essentially can do the same and the 12.9 while gorgeous is massive (I'm not sure I'll enjoy carrying it around campus)

I reaaally appreciate you comparing the sizes of each iPad against each other and compared to piece of paper. That’s what I’ve been missing in all iPad reviews/ comparisons so far. Thank you 🎉

I would say air is the better option. The M1 chip is useful in zoom calls...it helps displaying multiple screen

[fvmiller]

Thank you! I really appreciate you getting straight to the point. Ive just discovered your videos and they are super clear for someone like me who rarely updates their tech.

I just got my first iPad, 2 weeks ago. I got the iPad 9th Generation. Mainly use for watching movies and Adobe apps. This is such a great review!

[noahhogue]

I think the best device is an iPad Air 4 with the new design Apple Pencil 2 and Magic Keyboard support and is a really good bargain on the used or refurbished market

[mythologia]

I upgraded a few months ago from the ipad pro 2017 to the newer ipad pro and i couldnt be happier! I debated getting the ipad mini instead but as a student the bigger screen size and the baseline storage of the ipad pro made it the better choice for me. With how much I use the ipad for school as well as playing genshin, I gotta say it was fully worth the upgrade and I dont regret it at all :) I've been debating getting the magic keyboard but so far am fine using a bluetooth one i already had from logitech

Using the M1 IPad Air for school, but also still rocking my older 2019 Mini Gen 5 - they last forever, but you notice the slower they get in contrast to the M1 chip set of the new devices.

[Juhsentuh]

I got my iPad mini 5 in 2019 and I’m rocking this thing until it’s not supported any longer. Mainly because of the size. Love the mini. I’m happy about the mini redesign it just wasn’t enough for me to shell out hundreds of dollars for a minor upgrade. I’m hoping OLED comes to the iPad mini in the next facelift of the model.

Still using my 2018 11in iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil. Pretty cool that I've been using it for over four years now, it's gotten me through a lot of assignments!

[BvrgGbln]

I have a Gen 7 iPad and its ok. I still use it. I got it brand new. My favorite iPad though is my Gen 6 iPad mini. I love it so so so much. My iPad was great for school but now that I am out of school having a 5G iPad mini is awesome for work and everything back up to my iPad and my MacBook Pro which is so nice. I am a social worker so I do alot of work on the go and various casework so the mini fits my lifestyle.

[safoan]

That was a really good in-depth breakdown. Kudos man!! Really saved me a lot of money.

Thank you, for this excellent review of Apple's current iPad line-up. Normally for most people, I agree it is best to check Apple's refurbished web site for an older model to save money. However, for new models it is hard to beat the pricing on Apple's Educational web site because, most products are sold at about a 10 percent discount. When asked, which is the best iPad model to buy, I just say that, it depends on your design perferance ... like the newer design pick-up an iPad Air. Yet, if like myself you prefer the older classic design with a home button, lighting connector, and headphone jack then, pick-up the basic iPad version. Also, as a student would only suggest the wifi only versions (because on campus wifi should be everywhere). But, as a professional, I always buy the basic iPad model with max RAM and the cell data option (smile...smile).

[naimranizam]

im using the ipad air 3 from 2020 till today. amazing ipad, with laminated display, headphone jack.. love it.

Do you plan on updating video when new iPad 10th gen and new iPad Pro come out ? Love the video <3 <3

[AMOisnothere]

So, I'm considering buying an ipad for long term usage. For the next 6-7 years, if not more. My current laptop has being used since 2013 I want to primarily use it for college, art, and writing. There are other things I want to do like content creation and writing programing texts. So, would an ipad pro 11 inches worth it. I'm talking about the 2021 version. Thanks for reading😀

[cherluv]

What would you recommend for a student who prioritizes battery life, graphics (for genshin impact and general viewing experience), notetaking, compatible with microsoft 360, editing, general comfortability, laptop replacement, longetivity (I plan to use this till it becomes an heirloom).

I have a lot of options, mostly second hand. iPad Pro 10.5 vs iPad Air 3rd Gen vs iPad (9th Gen). The iPad Pro 10.5 is wildly cheaper than both of these, while the other two is midranged but still fit within the budget. What do you recommend?

[sharoncoote]

Best Ipad comparative review I've heard. Thanks!
