If you didn’t have an iPad Pro next to the air over time you wouldn’t know the difference. I have an air and am totally fine with it. This feels like an advert for iPad Pro.

[Cyballistic]

Whoever approved that speaker comparison to go live on this video needs to question their judgement lol

[RenevKerkhof]

how do you mean you have to reach around to use finger id.??? you also have a left hand you can use???

[mmaano]

You can use multiple fingers to reach the touch id you know 😂

[gwenc]

How....are you accidentally pressing the touch ID button? You only have to rest your finger on it....this really feels like you're stretching to find differences worth anything even close to $400.

[gnkstudios]

I love my m2 air and I can’t imagine spending 400$ extra for the pro.everything max mentions is actually never noticeable to the average user. Pro motion the Touch ID all that stuff is so minor it’s just for early adopters or people with extra money to spend.

[GuillaumeLEFAND]

Advantage for the iPad Air : Touch ID which allows all members of the family to easily unlock the iPad without a code ... Multi users matters for such kind of device, I don't understand why you never mention it in your videos ...

[sanjayhowell]

Honestly the only worthy advantage I see with the pro is being a little more future proof but other than that I think the air is a much better value per dollar

[IamClk]

I went into the store and compared the two. I ended up with the 13 inch Pro. I use my iPad strictly as a tablet so when I saw how thin the Pro was it was a no brainer. Also the screen is amazing. Could I have been happy with the Air too? Yes, but I decided to treat myself. YOLO lol. I’m definitely not upgrading for the next 6 years though 😂

I bought the M4 iPad Pro 11 and returned it for the M2 iPad Air 11. yeah, it’s a nice screen, but functionally, they feel exactly the same and I’m happier with the $500-700. iPadOS won’t even let you take full advantage of the M4 hardware - Even if you’re somehow pushing the iPad ‘to the max’ with video editing, a similarly priced MacBook Air will perform way better for exports and file management with just the M3, and you get all the advantages of running macOS. This is for people who want to spend $1000 on an overpowered Netflix machine that feels exactly the same as the last five years of iPad releases. If you really want pro-motion, or maybe even the 13in mini LED, Just buy a used M1 or M2 iPad Pro and it’ll feel exactly the same. The only advantage I see on the new pros versus the old is the updated pen, but that market has to be so tiny for anyone that would actually take advantage of the new pen features it’s probably not worth it otherwise.

[Soussdagoose]

The designs are literally the same and the colors have barely any differences - especially with a case. Design is moot. Only reason to get Pro is the screen. 📺

[ruschein]

37.4 is only 2.2% faster than 36.6! Also, huh, what do you mean you have to reach around the device to activate TouchID? Why not register an additional finger on your left hand?

[bemacbe]

In Speedometer Web Browsing, the Air scored 36.6 vs the 37.4 for the m4 Pro. That gives a difference of 2% not 40%, right?!

[Stormbrise]

Yes this is just an advertisement to buy the IPad Pro. I have had mine since 2020. I do not think I even need a new iPad yet. Yeah the battery is getting weaker, but why create e-waste when my current iPad does what I need it to do.

[jozmujr]

it's just an ipad not something new that would do thing any other ipad can't. if you want to save money but the ipad pro m1 or m2 or any one with storage you need and that's it.the ipad won't replace no pc or laptop. it's an amazing product but m4 dosent worth all that money.

[ruschein]

I use my 13" M4 iPad Pro every day and for me the killer feature is the reduced weight. Everything else is nice to have. I had a 12.9" M1 iPad Pro and the only thing that really bugged me and prevented me from using it every day was the weight. The thinness is also nice because it is more enjoyable to hold it in my hand. Unlike my previous device, I now mostly hold it with a single hand.

[rhite]

I have the new M4 13 inch iPad Pro, and all the features mentioned in this video including Apple Pencil features are reasons why I absolutely love the upgrade. I came from the 12.9 M2 iPad Pro with magic keyboard and I'm loving the upgrade.

[arondyte]

I cannot stress how much of a gamechanger the 1000nits SDR brightness is for me. No longer does my iPad lose to Ceiling Office lights when watching content.

Having already an old keyboard, the new air saves extra money for a keyboard. The speed of the M2s sufficient for most tasks and the memory is the same. For normals, it might be a good deal to take the air.
