Which one are you picking up: iPad Air or iPad Pro? 🤔

I’m getting the iPad Pro w/ 1TB. I traded in my 3rd Gen iPad Pro this morning at the Apple Store. It was only 2 hr after end of the Apple presentation this morning and when I tried to order online it gave me a 3 - 4 wk delivery. I’ll hope they have some army the store on the 15th.

Didn’t think I was gonna do it, but I updated my M1 iPad Air for the new 13-inch iPad Air with 256GB. I got $310 trade-in credit, so my new iPad is “only” $662 after tax.

I actually went from an 11” M2 iPad Pro to a 13” iPad Air - I am totally okay with the Liquid Retina Display, and the M2 was overkill anyway, so I opted for the extra screen real estate and saved some coin

[mariagonzalezc.]

I have a MacBook Pro but never owned an iPad and for college I need also to take notes more in hand so I’m thinking of going with the new iPad Air 🥰

[kimpoloza]

I've got an old iPad Pro 12.9" (2nd Gen) with a cracked screen and dodgy touchscreen so I'm thinking of getting the new M4 iPad Pro 13" with one 1TB and the nano screen for drawing. Should be a nice solid upgrade after all this time!

[Fernie]

Thanks for your detailed videos. Much appreciated man!

[DevilCruz]

Great video as always Brandon…I trust your opinion over any other Apple YouTuber. How you managed to do a live stream earlier today and still managed to put out this video is beyond me!!! I have an iPad mini 6 to trade in for $250 and I think you convinced me to get the 11 inch Pro over the Air even though I don’t need all the features. More bang for the buck with my trade in I guess . Just wish they had more Pro colors.

Awesome video Brandon! Thanks so much.

I got the base 13” iPad Pro in space black! And the new Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil pro! So excited!

The nano tech display is pretty cool to be built into it already but the fact it’s only for 1TB & 2TB only, I can get myself a 512GB & just get a paperlike screen protector & be pretty much the same & save that few extra hundred bucks

[joshuakolton]

Honestly I’m not sure why you’d need an iPad instead of a Mac unless your workflow was mostly drawing or touch sensitive. For the price of an iPad and accessories you might as well get a MacBook Air.

Great review. Can help explain what is difference between 3x digital zoom and 3x video zoom? Thks

[platothepug]

I’m excited to get the 13” iPad Pro to replace my 2019 iPad Pro. I’m sure the performance difference would be a lot more noticeable. I use my current one everyday for work and play so I’m excited for the upgrade!

[jmzimmerman]

The new M4 chip is gonna be crazy fast. Imagine it in a Mac though

[SirBobbyK]

After sticking with my 1st gen iPad Pro I can finally upgrade 🎉

[DJMasterchief]

All I wanted was a bigger battery. I have the M1 mini-led 12.9 iPad Pro and wanted the new OLED model. But I have to wait and see if the battery is any better. I have to basically keep my iPad plugged in all day….

[Frnziko]

Is the new Magic Keyboard lighter than the old one?

[Crayonwayne]

I am still using iPad Pro 11” 2020 which only has a A12 chips. Can’t decide which one to upgrade to 😅 should I go for the Pro 11 or Air 11?

[mikebedford]

Great content, thanks. Still baffles me that it’s still so easy to lose the Apple Pencil! Why not integrate it somehow with the new iPad Pro keyboard setup?

[jacobbio]

I’m keeping my budget at $800

Not sure between getting a new iPad Air 13in with the M2

Or

Getting a refurbished iPad Pro 12.9in which has the Face ID, and promotion display… but it’s like 3 years old
