2024 M2 iPad Air - DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE!..(Honest Review 3 Weeks Later)

I’ve been using the new M2 iPad Air as my go to tablet and it got me thinking why would anyone buy the new M4 iPad Pro over an M2 iPad Air. The M2 iPad Air has a lot going for it, but who is the iPad for and what exactly are you getting when you buy an M2 iPad Air?

I got The M2 iPad Air 13-inch this week. And I love it. I’m just happy there’s a 13-inch version outside the iPad Pro. 🐬

The air is such an underrated iPad! And I agree although I'm a 120hz snob, when I use a tablet I don't scroll nearly as much as I do on a phone and it's just not as important for this form factor! 🐬

I love my brand new iPad Air M2 13”. I wanted the 11” but since I hand down my iPads to my hubby, he insisted on the 13”! I also got the 256 gb. I’ve had ipad pros and my 6 year old pro compared, I have no complaints with the M2 Air!

My mother got the new M2 iPad Air last week, and she loves it.

It is faster than the last one. Same tech. Nothing changes. Could buy a 5yr old iPad and not even notice the difference if you dont game and video edit.

First time viewer here. Good stuff! Loved the “ran out of ink” explanation for the washed out colors on the cases. 😂 Finally a 13” iPad that doesn’t crush the bank. My only wish is that it used the new Magic Keyboard. I need to buy one anyway since I’m coming from an 11” M1 air, so a better one would make the crazy cost a little easier to swallow.

One thing I’ve noticed that I haven’t seen in any reviews is that the pencil magnets seem much stronger. Probably because there are two now that straddle the camera. And it’s about time they put that camera in the right place.

Thank you so much I was deciding whether I should get the iPad Air or not. Love you videos keep it up. 🐬

Thanks for making this review and not going for benchmarking stuff most of us dont really care about

I just got the pro and my dad now has the 13” air for an early Father’s Day gift (he’s 75 and wanted to have a bigger on screen keyboard when he has to type anything 🤷🏻‍♀️). The screen is great and it just seems so much like mine I really started to wonder. However, I’m a visual artist and animator so I figured I would benefit from the differences. I’ll be using it mostly with my sketchboard pro and apple pencil but you are definitely tempting me with the Magic Keyboard. Maybe this is the time I will make that leap. And this time I went with the magnetic “paper type” screen protector instead to see if I liked it and so far I’m pleased. There always seem to be subtle differences in the paper/matte screen protectors but my last one was applied day one and never had to replace-not sure why I don’t go through them as often as many others but I’m interested to see if I enjoy having the ability to remove for impactful viewing. 🐬

🐬 I bought an 11 inch air this weekend and it’s amazing

[stroeherj]

my BIG thin between the two is just the refresh rate. I really wish the air was at least 120hz

I have iPad 10 which I found as a steal for only 150$. It works great, and it does all my needs except better gaming performance and the Mac Ventura iPad feature which are both on the air m2. I thought about upgrading to it, but I think I will wait until the next generation of iPad airs, possibly an m4 or m5 air

[waitinglose]

Apple should offer a "neon air" line with vibrant colors like we had in the 2000s.

I can get the 256 Air for $650USD through work, the 128 is $550. $100 difference doesn't seem like much when you get double the storage.

[NarendraMnr]

Just get a prior or even prior iPad pro instead of Air anytime of the day with the only exception being you need the new Air for Pencil Pro. Price is similar

[rubenr]

Thanks for the review. Though, finally bought an iPad Pro M2 instead because the Air has no ProMotion Display (120Hz) and feels laggy for me despite having the same processor.

[MannyRataul]

Paperlike screen protector will also destroy the tip of your apple pencil FYI

[Adamtendo_player_]

Good review, I plan on getting the iPad Air M2 hopefully next month and I’m looking forward to it as I’m not ready for the Pro just yet snd the Air will be a huge upgrade from my 9th generation iPad.
