The OLED screen is incredible. I bought it specifically for that and am not disappointed.

I use the 10th Generation iPad with a $20 pencil & a $40 keyboard case. It does everything I need & is a good travel companion.

Sir here is your new Ferrari, we have also filled it up with high octane gas. By the way.... you can only drive it here in the dealership parking lot.

I agree, 100%! Another option is iPad Mini 6 + 13" MBA. I love the portability of the iPad Mini and it does everything I need. It's the perfect tablet for me as I travel for work.

I love my M4. Everyone should just get what is right for them and in their budget.

I like the video and the insight you provided. I was wondering something though: who then should pick up the M2 iPad Air? I work overseas teaching English and my 7th gen iPad has been a great help in and out of the classroom. Would it be a good time for me to upgrade to that iPad or to the 10th gen?

Hi Craig, I want an Ipad mostly for reading alone. I actually compared the new pro to the previous air models and was amazed at how easy it was on my eyes when reading on the new pro especially when slowly scrolling. Is this something you have experienced or heard from others? Is this a valid factor for spending a lot more?

[Absorbing]

Always love your logic, keep it coming..Cheers ✌

[solidgalaxy]

Thank you, bro.

You put my mind at ease, man

[gxionu]

I totally agree with you. I was expecting a lot from WWDC, but it ended up with big disappointment. The M4 chip on iPad is totally wasted.

I come from iPad Air 2 and upgrade with M4, for me it’s expensive, the only thing I keep it is because Best Buy have promotion of 24 months no interest, I only use it for construction work and normal things around the house. Tomorrow is my last day to be able to return, do you think I should do it?

[paulb]

I don’t expect that!! Great video, what a surprise.

[ayocam]

I got the new iPad Pro 11 inch. I had a M1 12.9 inch iPad but it was so cumbersom and awkward for it being a portable device. I couldn’t use it in my lap nor hold it for long periods without fatigue. The new 11 inch with the oled is amazing. Probably the last iPad I’ll keep until 7 years from now. That 10th generation got me very concerned with the workload the thing can do

Just got the 11 inch M4 iPad Pro 256GB model.
One store got one in return and it was sold with full warranty in the original box and condition is as new.

Saved me 220$ and still got what is basically a new device with full warranty.

Owning the M1 iPad Pro was thinking abt upgrading to the M4 but I’m hesitating. The OS s way too much limited but i kinda like the old « saw the iPad M4 in store ». Is it a bad idea?

[realrk]

I’m got the m2 air 11” at $600 with the pencil as part of the student discount. I had the pro added to my cart but realised I don’t have and will not have the use case for that in the next 2-3 years so the air it is. Thanks for knocking some sense into us! YouTubers in general have the tendency to show/use the best and we often forget that we are not all video/photo editors, animators or artists. All of whom can still use the M2 Air. The only worthy upgrade is the oled display which is not worth the $400.

I upgraded to the iPad M4 Pro and it is my new on move laptop. I use a lot of the Adobe Suite, live in Illustrator, and Photoshop. I will KEEP it!!!

[truthteller]

I still have my 2018 12.9 iPad Pro and contemplating about upgrading due to my poor battery life and cracked screen not sure if I should get the M2 pro or M4 the air isn’t really on my radar as I feel it’ll be a downgrade due to the 60Hz 😅
