The thing I'm most curious about is how battery life is effected with the change to the M1.

[imperfectxennial]

The blue on the 5 looks so much better than the blue on the 4

[slim]

I have an iPad Air 4. I see no need for anymore power. It’s plenty fast. I’m going to wait and see what the refreshed iPad Pro 11 inch looks like.

[tonigee]

I have the iPad Air 4 Cellular + Wi-Fi 256gb version. Got it on sale at best buy for $549, after seeing that there really isn’t that big of a difference between both models I’m just gonna stick with my air 4. I also love my Sky Blue Air color more then the updated blue, and it matches my sierra blue iPhone 13 pro max.

[jalloham]

kinda disappointed u didn't show the actual day to day use fastness difference or sth that shows the difference between the A14 and M1 chip

[rosamariarodriguez]

I have both upgraded from iPad Air 4 64GB to iPad Air 5 256GB both cellular. I needed more storage even with the iCloud when it came to streaming it was slow/lagging, now its more Amazing power with 5G . Magic keyboard and APPLE pencil ✏️ prefer it than laptop.

Did you notice any real world app performance difference? Benchmarks don’t tell the whole story.

[addsimpson]

Interesting to see the benchmark difference. I'd love to see what that means for day to day use. Which apps load faster? Which games play better? Is there much difference in battery life?

I've noticed the Air 4 is reduced in a few places so it would be good to know what extra performance users will miss out on with the cheaper Air 4, in day to day use.

[fatibr]

But the selfie on the air 4 is clearly better than the 5’s

[Expressionistix]

I think big changes to iPad software is coming and the cross-devices M1 processor is an indication. I don’t think it will be a touch based Mac OS but definitely something heavier that needs more ram and a faster CPU. Think about it - 8 gigs of ram and an M1 cpu - that’s a base model mac mini or MacBook Air.

I went with refurbished ipad 4 to save a bundle

[paulromero]

It’s nice to know that when Apple releases a new product in states how much faster it is it’s like it supposed to mean something. Or it’s supposed to do something that can achieve that difference or notice any difference. But when you don’t offer any software to match anything that you show that it’s for and it’s just a regular iPad and serves no purpose. But if anyone buys this they don’t care they’re being deceived or that they’re buying the same thing twice

[AntonioRamirez-fcqd]

I’d just recently bought two 4th generation iPad Air. I’m planning on getting the pro for my next iPad. Just like my iPhone and MacBook Pro models only.

[hilal]

I currently dont have an ipad. I want to buy ipad just to take lecture notes. Which one should I get? 4 or 5?

[dankbrad]

Volume buttons on my iPad Air 5 are backwards. Contacted apple support and they say this is a new “feature”. Absolutely infuriating.

[egpmh]

Still use my Air 2, works just as well as these so probably won't get either

[rendylouis]

I had a heart attack when you flipped the iPad at 1:15 🥲

I Honestly Love The iPad Air 5 Wallpaper Blue So I Used It For My iPad 9

[Balbanegra]

I chose gen 4 because for almost the same price I got 256gb instead of 64gb with the gen 5
