What's up everyone?! I hope this long-term review of the iPad 8 and the iPad Air 4 was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?

Would love to know what you think. Which iPad is a better value for you? Does the iPad 8 do everything you need? Is the Air 4 a better fit? Or do you plan on getting an iPad Pro? 😱

Bro, I bought the IPad Air 4 on the basis of your videos and so far it has been an amazing experience. A small request though, could you make a video on how to utilise the air 4 fully as a student? Would be really grateful 👍🏻😁

[officialWWM]

I bought the Air 4 and I still love it. I bought the iPad 8 for my 9 year old son and that’s been great for him.

I’d like to thank you for the amazingly comprehensive videos. Since the apple products here are insanely expensive, I spent a lot of time studying which IPad I should buy, since IPad Pro was out of the table for me, and I need to say that your videos helped me a lot while I was at it. Bought the IPad Air 4 Sky Blue 64 gigs and I’m totally in love with it. It’s exactly what I need for study, drawing, taking notes… everything! You really helped me buying nice so I wouldn’t need to buy twice xD Thank you!

Did you know that we love watching your videos even if we weren't interested in the content?, and now I'm gonna get the iPad 8

[bobjones]

I’ve only been watching you for a few days now.. and I would really love to tell you THANK YOU! I know some people don’t appreciate it, honestly man the amount of effort you go to in order to explain simply the specs of so many products goes a really long way for me! You speak clearly, offer amazing and vivid imagery, and provide a personal overview/experience instead of just the benchmarks that all reviewers do. Honestly mate, please keep up the hard work and know that every single day that you continue to review products and make these videos that you are positively impacting people’s lives!!! Subscribed and recommended + Well done! (BTW, I recommend increasing length of videos to average of 15 mins - you don’t need to keep it as short as entertainment videos because this is an educational video and will still retain views). All the best!

Bought the iPad Air 4 64GB last month. I thought 64GB ain't enough but I still have 30GB left. I'm using it as a note taking device along with my M1 MBA. I realized that 64 gigs is enough since my iPad is streaming/companion device anyway. Using this for my Physician license exam next month. Thank you for helping me with my purchase decision! I would rather add 40-60 USD for a better display even with a lower storage.

I bought the iPad 8th gen, and it’s working amazing! I love it, and honestly, I don’t really mind the non-laminated display.

[Aremdaunnabi]

I bought my iPad Air 4 yesterday. It arrives tomorrow. I’ve seen almost all of your videos about this iPad. I’m so excited as it is the very first time that I will have an iPad. Many of your videos helped me chose this one over the iPad Pro, so thank you very much 💓🤧

[randaranatunga]

This is gonna be interesting
What I’m gonna say is that the the Ipad 8 is great value when you’re looking for something without pro features and just an everyday ipad experience

[woodcider]

I use my iPad camera a lot for scanning PDFs. I’ve been able to avoid buying textbooks scanning pages in the library.

Watching this video on my iPad 8th generation 128 GB
👍👍👍😄😄😄. I use my iPad for Online Classes, Binge Watching, Social Media, Gaming and etc. No Note Taking. I am very satisfied with my experience and I love ❤️ My iPad . My 1st Apple Product.

[quartercast]

As the iPad 8 will probably be shelved first, it may be harder to get replacement parts in the future . I feel the iPad Air 4 is more future proof.

[RDHORIZON]

Just bought the iPad Air 4 with the folio touch keyboard on your recommendation, 100% the best purchase i have made hands down! Awesome videos packed with awesome info every time 👍🏼

[LauraJayneRobinson]

I had an iPad 8 and upgraded to a air 4, my mam was very pleased getting the 8 and it does her everyday tasks mainly internet browsing and reading books.

[WHITE_RAPTOR]

I bought iPad Air 4 after watching your videos and I LOVED IT 😍
I’m spending around 8 - 10 hours daily on it for my studies. Note making and learning experience is flawless. My productivity and fun in learning has increased 10x.
I bought an Apple Pencil alternative for 1/4 of original one’s price and it’s also working butter smooth.

[MattHalpain]

I use a 6th gen. iPad with Apple Pencil. I would like the iPad Air for the laminated display. But I don't plan on upgrading from my 6th gen. iPad until it is no longer supported. I will probably go for the base iPad 8 or later base iPad in the future. As I can't justify my hobby digital drawing on iPad with an iPad Pro of iPad Air.

I’m using the amfilm papered glass screen protector, it’s better like $10 on Amazon. It’s clear it don’t distort display, but do need to turn up touchscreen settings. I used icarez and Bersem paper feel. They were noticeable didn’t have a clear display view when watching vids or movies. So had removed to have a flawless display. Ran across amfilm papered glass screen protector love that it is flawless to install and view my movies and videos can’t tell a screen protector is on it . Just when you install you do it using the hinge method of installing screen protector.
Clean screen as directions advise
Alignment of screen protector and
use a couple of tape that come with installation kit to place on one side of tablet like hinge of a book cover
Make sure to give fina wipe of screen paying close attention of leaving No lint behind
Peel of sticky side down film off
Now let screen protector lay flat like closing a book cover
Smooth out bubbles before removing top film and tape used to hinge screen protector.

I followed the directions it came with needed to replace did use the hinge method flawless install

[hellreza]

I didn't know about the screen thing, good to know that replacing the screen will cost more. thank you.

I’ve never seen a tech review video where the YTer asks main questions like “Tech Gear Talk” does.

I love it and IMO it makes him a better reviewer as it makes him unbaise and more informative.
