You didn’t mention reason #4 with the extra $230 you actually get 64GB more storage!

[Danielxm]

I have the 4th gen air and it still performs perfectly for almost 2 years of daily use

[Artur]

Thank you for your review, i was so sure to buy the Air 5 until i came to the store and reconsidered, at the end finished with buying the new iPad Pro 2022, and with this review you confirmed that my choice was right! Thank you, keep your work, its very helpfull.

I was going to buy the 11” M1 on sale for $699. But Best Buy has the 12.9” M1 open box excellent condition for $719!! Even if I notice the blooming effect, I can’t complain when I am saving $400.

Great video by the way. Thanks for sharing.

[mistakek]

Depends on where you are. It's an extra $400 here in Australia. $999 vs $1399. For my use case I don't need the extra features.

[TheMachines]

Folks don't be overly concerned about the read and write speeds. We are talking a micro second difference in real life. Fast 3d games will be better on m2. But here's the thing. The m2 doesn't play the type of games that would take advantage. The only real difference is the 120hz display. This is the only reason to get the pro. Nothing else will be a great difference in every day scarios.

[jpracing]

120hz is worth £200 alone so yes. Makes the whole IPad feel faster.

[Matt-xmbj]

M1 iPad Pro is probably the best you can get if it's on sale.

[TangoSuckaa]

I just ordered the air. I feel like I’ve made a huge mistake but I’m only going to be using it for watching movies and some document editing so I think even getting the air over the standard iPad is slight overkill

[jl]

No, not Cancel. The iPad Air has all it needs to be the middle level iPad. For the average user who wants a decent price and good iPad. The pro is a little overpriced for a average user who does not use the extra features. With me, I’ve never taken a single picture/video with my iPad. It stays home most of the time so whatever you can afford should work great

[Utd_YT]

I just got a brand new iPad Air, and I have to say, I’ve been pretty happy with it.

[jperrocks]

The Air 5 if my dream iPad. I love the pink, it fits my use case (college I didn’t get enough storage on my air 4, and there’s some damage to the sides), and I feel personally I don’t need more than a M1 chip and that’s just to insure update and stuff being I’m in the M series chip.

[unloosedhades]

It just hits me with these videos
Ipad 10 vs Ipad Air 5: Spend the extra money and go with the Air
Ipad Pro vs Ipad Air 5: Go with the pro, or spend less with the Ipad 10

[ZackM]

I still really think in the near future the Air is going to replace the 11in pro… or at least it should because the lineup is getting too convoluted

[erikwestre]

Definitely not worth it, if you can get the M1 Air for the old price, as I did. The speakers is pretty much the only downside. The lack of Pro Motion is not a big sacrifice. And the rest of the Pro stuff is just bullshit. Using any tablet as a ‘desktop-pc’ is just stupid. If you intend to use a pad as a replacement for a Macbook Pro, or a real stationary desktop pc, then you’re really sacrificing almost everything. Even a mid-range Windows PC is better than the M2 IPad Pro.

[mikeb.]

I currently use 2 iPads for work. M1 Pro and a 6th Gen regular iPad. The 6th gen is still kicking, but it's definitely running on the slower and laggy side. Especially compared to the M1 Pro. I was thinking of getting an iPad mini to replace it. What are your thoughts?

[fshtank]

#4 The media consumption on the iPad Pro makes it also worth it. I’ve had one since 2017 (and now the M1) and I probably wont go back.

[PDSeverus]

I agree with all that is said in favour of iPad Pro - I just don't like the idea of Face ID.If IPad Pro had both face and touch id I would have bought the pro😊

[taniacruz]

Don’t cancel it just add more storage to the base model or please add the colours to the pro, then they’ll have me hooked.
