iPad 8th generation vs iPad Air 3 - Storage or Style?

Now that Apple's new iPad 8th generation packs the A12 Bionic... the baseline device has become more similar to the last-gen iPad Air 3. In this video, I go over every different aspect between this two tablets as well as highlight some commonalities as well in order to help you decide which is right for you!

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO COMPARES THIS <<3

Given the same price i would pick the air 3 any given day just for the laminated display and thinner profile and slimmer bezels. Im actually keeping my eyes open for deals on the air 3 now that the air 4 is out

32gb in 2020 is ridiculous. It's not enough

[spiffy]

I’m watching this because I just bought the air 3 like a month ago and I don’t wanna regret it

[Moldfingers]

The ONLY positive I can think of for a non-laminated display is repairability. If the glass breaks but the digitizer part is still good. You can easily replace just the glass for much cheaper.

The sales of iPad 2020 must boost incredibly if the fucking screen is improved with no air gap
The reason why people are struggling between air 3 or 8 is the screen only
I believe people is watching those comparison in order to persuade themselves iPad 8 is enough for them lol

I'm getting the 8th gen 128GB as my first Apple device. The 64GB Air 3 is a bit expensive in my part of the world where it costs $150 more than the 128GB iPad 8. True Tone, the laminated display and the wider colour gamut do not justify the considerable gap in price + storage FOR ME. So, as long as the 8 has the same A12 chip with a beautiful screen - air gap and all - and it comes with a faster charger I'm fine. Nice video, I'm a new subscriber.

I got the ipad air 3 open box for $419 two weeks ago and I regret nothing. I would have been happy either way but I think that the air 3 was the way to go for me. Laminated Display and slimmer bezels ftw

Finally a video comparison of this two.

128gb iPad 8th here in our country has the same price now with the base iPad Air 3 (64gb) both brand new. Laminated display plus slimmer bezel and body convinced me to purchase the Air.

I loved the fact you listened to your subscribers and got what we wanted from the poll.. video liked without watching

I was going to buy an iPad 8 128GB for 469€ in Germany, because 32GB is to less. Then I saw an open box iPad Air 3 64GB on Amazon Warehouse for 439€ and did buy it. My girlfriend will use it for note taking and she has some trouble to look at a screen for a long period, so with True Tone it should be easier and the laminated screen is definitely a plus !

Let me help you guys. You should go for the Air if you have a good deal and here's why:
1. Air 3 has laminated display which is a big advantage when using a pen.
2. Air 3 has 7mp front cam and the regular ipad has a 1.2mp potato.
3. Air 3 is a bit lighter
4. Air 3 supports bluetooth 5 while the regular Ipad only has 4.2
These are important factors atleast for me. 1.2mp is not capable of transmitting 1080p image during video calls.

This video cemented my choice to get the 8th gen ipad. I am a 2nd year med student and this will be my first apple gadget skl

funny how i purchased the ipad air 3 after apple announced the ipad 8th and air 4. the laminated display and slimmer bezels makes the ipad air a better investment for me, and i chose the air 3 over air 4 because most of my devices (iphone, airpods) still use lightning cable, apple pencil gen 1 is cheaper and i don't need it as much as i'm a graduating student, and the i personally don't like how they moved touch id to the lock button. loving my ipad air 3 and i'm so happy with my purchase!

Either choice Apple will provide updates and support for nearly a decade. And both chips are advanced enough to deliver enough performance for that decade. It’s awesome.

[felipebechstedt]

i have my ipad air 3 for 1 year now, and zero regrets, it's perfect, and i use for professional design work

[DudeWithCoffee]

thanks for this review. I'm pretty tight in budget, so i decided to have a used ipad air 3 for lightroom/photoshop use, reading ebooks and university stuffs. That true tone feature is something i really need.

[shanachallenor]

Just scored a new Air 3 with 256gb for only $100 more than new 8th gen 128gb. Winning! Thanks for your review as I had no idea!!

[IanNubbit]

I just want to put in the reason I will never buy a standard iPad, ever since I’ve used a laminated display, I CAN NOT go back. I also have a 256GB air 3 and it’s become my main computer and sold my MacBook recently

Prediction: iPad 2021 will look like the iPad Air 3
