first off, your videos DO NOT suck. Second, this video is just what I needed. I have been on the fence with wondering if I need the iPad to simplify what I want to do for videos, thumbnails and even logo designs. I think this has made it a bit more clear. If you’re open to more iPad videos, could you maybe showcase if it would be worth it in those areas? Keep killing it 🤘🏽

Always appreciate your perspective on Apple products! It’s so nice to hear from someone who uses lots of creative apps and isn’t locked into the Apple ecosystem🙌 I haven’t heard a single other review mention improvements to something like Google meets functionality. Great video

It's so cool watching you edit photos on Lightroom and on the photoshop Sara.

I always end up smiling (and learning) when I watch your videos, Sara. These days that's a rare combination!

FINALLY someone mentions that. The idle battery drain in these M1 iPads is bad. I was actually disappointed that they put the M1 in the new iPad air this year. My old iPad Mini 5 lasts for weeks. You can just pick it up and use any time. My M1 iPad Pro dies after a few days of idling. Everytime I pick it up it's almost empty.
Thanks for your vids. Love the channel

Your videos aren't bad, they are breathtakingly well taken and great. Watching your review videos always shows me how many new things I can learn. You've got this!

[DirtyTesla]

Hey Sara. I know it was just a 2 second comment in the beginning but I have felt the same way... not that I am of your channel's size or caliber, but the past 2-3 months I have uploaded far less than I used to just because I dunno. I felt like my videos were bad, people weren't enjoying them, I was not providing good enough information or enough entertainment. I cannot say I've fixed my mindset or give you any helpful advice unfortunately but I can say I watch most of your videos and really enjoy them. Quality and information seems as good or better than ever so keep it up :)

I was using only my iPad Pro until the pandemic hit. I'm a teacher and want to see the whole class on one screen. Also, break out rooms are hard from an iPad. So, I got an iMac. But I still use my 2017 iPad all the time. Now, I'm saving up for the 2022 iPad Pro.

dude your studio setup is dope. i also love your glasses.

We may be the only two people who enjoy using the Apple Keyboard Folio. I miss the trackpad option, but enjoy the fabric and feel and slim profile of the Keyboard Folio. My Air 4 does not creak or have any other quality issues. Sadly seems to be trending in that direction.

Woah. WOAH, THERE! THE EXCITEMENT IT’S OVERFLOWING! THE ENERGY! I LOVE IT!✨✨✨
And yes I actually was brought in by the thumbnail lettering, I really liked the simplicity 😂

[SethEssington]

I’m watching this on my iPad Air 5. Great video!

I literally switched to using my iPhone for my courses during college back in the day. It was different, amazing, lighter than a laptop, and kept all my course work with me when I needed it. Mobile Me/iCloud was all I needed to download and print what I did on my phone in class.

[BaconBePropane]

I basically grew out of the 64 gb iPad Air 4th edition. My next iPad will be a Pro model because of Pro Motion, but I would go to 256 gb.

I love your videos, Sara!

[andreiandy]

Hey Sara, great review! The volume switching from landscape to portrait is tripping me as well lol. As for the quality of the videos, don’t worry about it, you make amazing content! Thank for showing us how you make your thumbnails, awesome job!

[rodneybrown]

And yes… I got the WiFi/Cellular Model…. I swapped my sim and having cellular on the fly is damn handy….even though I get 40GB via my hotspot on any of my phones lol

[zinnoorz.]

The iPad Air is like a Toyota Camry, it's definitely not the most exciting or innovative piece of hardware but it's super reliable and will get you through your day with no problems it's pretty fast too
Good to see you in many videos ✌🏻😊❤️

[jeremiahrex]

Been waiting for this to come out and I think you have a more interesting take on it. This iPad seems more about a reinforcing the strategy of positioning iPads more as computers, not just tablets. I plan to use my iPad Air 5th gen as a "light" computer. It's not replacing my windows gaming desktop or my work Windows laptop, but it provides a portable alternative for simpler tasks. This video gives me perspective on something much closer to my use case.

[Coffeebibber]

I’m glad you mentioned the build quality. I heard about the creaking, but I didn’t hear any of the big time YouTube reviewers mention it. I’m glad you did, that’s the kind of stuff I’m looking for. Thanks.

[ArthurLarin]

Thanks Sarah, this was a super enjoyable video. I know it’s way easier said than done, but you really have NO reason to doubt your work. Keep creating from the heart.
