Do you have an iPad or are you one of those Android tablet users? I'd love to know how you're getting on with them!

i personally love the 10 because I didn't want to buy a pencil 2nd gen and I use the front facing camera a lot. My ipad does not replace my macbook. Almost everyone using air to pro don't even need it. The air is still the best overall ipad but the 10 at this point is actually underrated as a middle class non laptop replacement tablet.

Thank you for this video. Very informative and well done

Hi there, great vid! Im going to university next year and i really cant choose whether i want to buy an ipad or a laptop. I already have a laptop, but its not really suited anymore for usage outside of constantly being charged at home. I feel like having 2 laptops is a bit overkill so thats why im looking for an ipad. Now im doubting between the ipad air and the ipad pro 11inch. I’ll be using it for studying, gaming, browsing and watching content. The ipad air 256gb is only 50$ cheaper than the 128gb ipad pro. Which one should i choose?

[car_tar]

Personally for me there are 3 options the mini the basic and the pro the mini for pilots the basic for if your on a budget and the pro if you have the money and personally it’s gotta be the 13 inch

Ipad 6 mini Generations 6 is with me and Apple ultra watch when i go out. I leaf my phone at home and bring only 3 device. Ultra watch, ipad mini and airpots pro

[lukewalsh]

I’m looking at the IPad Pro 11 inch, 2022 because of the longevity and the price, it’s €950 for the 128gb and 8gb ram, where the air is €750 for 64gb and 8gb of ram.

Great video, pretty much sums it up, but let me ask you; should I buy the Air or the 10th ? Basically Im a freelance online teacher and I work daily on Zoom for hours. I really like the 10th cam position, but the specs are better on Air for the long run (maybe, idk). And also it would be my first Ipad 😅 with already having an Iphone..
Would love to hear your opinion ✌🏼

Which one is the best for a small business I am wanting to use it for checkout and vendor events as well as editing photos for my website

The 10th gen iPad has Touch ID not Face ID

[chop]

Only if the Mini had 120Hz plus Face ID. Until then ……

Honestly what game were you playing at 5:57 ? I’ve seen it before and forgot the name

[zachhotchkiss]

The two iPad Pros have completely different screens! The 11 inch has an lcd while the 12.9 has mini led. I’m not sure how you did any research if you don’t know this.

[joshjhoward]

Have you noticed any flickering when watching HDR content on the M2 iPad Pro 12.9? I feel like there might be something wrong with the backlights on the XDR display, it seems to lag a bit when a scene switches from a dark scene to a light scene suddenly

[beautyneytiri]

a laptop from apple though... never.
if i would ever buy a laptop it would definitely be a windows one, and an iphone... also never.
the ipad is the only apple product that makes sense for me.

[beautyneytiri]

''you need a laptop'' though ?
well i found out that especially as you can connect a mouse and keyboard, it's so much better than a laptop.

You said the 10 and the air have the same screen. I dk about specs, but the air has a laminated screen and the 10 doesn’t not 💩

[CoolBlueVR]

I want to get the ipad air and i want to get the mini for my brother

MacBooks are literally overpriced junks. I would rather take a $500 Windows laptop over a $5k MacBook any day of the week thank you.
