iPad 10.2: Cheap and good
iPad Mini: For users on-the-go
iPad Air: Half iPad mini due to weight and portability, half pro due to features
iPad Pro: *For rich pros*

For anyone watching the cons, the fingerprint unlock works flawlessly in general. And for other cons, it’s wrong to expect all iPad Pro specs in a lower model. But it’s good to know the difference to decide. I like to watch his videos for a new perspective though.

[DaveCummings]

Great video. I love my M1 Air. I honestly don't miss ProMotion. Somehow, I don't really notice the difference

You can see the battery health on an ipad. Go to settings/privacy/analytics & improvements/analytics data. Look for the most recent “log aggregate” file and open it. Scroll about 3 quarters of the way down there file and you will find an entry called battery capacity percentage. If you can’t see any log aggregate files you will need to turn on the option to share analytics data with Apple. Once this is turned on a log aggregate file will be generated anywhere between 3 and 24 hours after turning sharing on. Once the file has been generated you can turn sharing back off.

That 120hz screen on the Pro must be totally worth it when you have to shoot it in slow motion to see the difference 😂

I bought a Refurbished 2018 iPad Pro in December 2021. Haven’t regretted it; it still holds it own up against all the others, and the “missing” features I would never use anyway (extra cameras, LiDAR, etc.

Price point is its identity. Some people do not want to go as high as 800+ dollars and can go higher than 330 dollars. That is when this iPad shines.

[MaiElizabeth]

iPad Air is to allow people with less money to experience the powerful M1 chip.
Please Don’t expect Pro features on the Air because it will make the price go higher. Especially ProMotion. We Don’t really need that seriously. All we need is a powerful chip and big RAM. That’s enough for me.

If you expect for face ID and ProMotion, just go for the pro. We need powerful iPad with less expensive price tag.

[zkdlynn]

The sole reason I’ll keep the pro ahead is cuz of storage. From my usage perspective that’s a big W for pro. I hope apple upgrades air base version to 128 gb

[thomass.a]

i have the iPad air 5 and touch id work Great for me. love it

[daledevernon]

Touch ID on my iPad Air 4 is brilliant. Haven't had one single problem with it, wish they put touch ID on one of the pro models.

[morten]

It does have "an identity of its own"
It's the the perfect midrange

[djbluegill]

When did Andrew Garfield start doing reviews? You gotta be his doppelgänger lol.

[robinfaigmane]

I’m planning to buy a refurbished iPad Pro 2020 instead of the Air 5. I want the ProMotion, better speakers, and the extra 128GB compared to 64 on the base Air 🥰

[phillipeparigi]

feel like i have to just point here that your apple pencil case have my heart
genius, loved it

[miket.]

I definitely bought the air 5 because of the M1 chip. I definitely expect it to last 5 years at minimum and I caught a great deal!

[Therejectionartist]

If you never had promotion it’s not a negative to not have it on an air, in fact the air display is a positive upgrade on an ipad 2018 6 gen for example, which is what i was using.

[kreytube]

I think you get M1chip and in return losing 60Hz is pretty great. its one of the best chips. even its 8Ram! 
and price? soooo

[RavenAii]

The only reason why I went for the iPad Air 5 256GB Wifi + Cellular, was because of the Blue colour. Lol. I can definitely get the Pro 11, but Silver and Space Gray looks too dull. Also its my first iPad so I don’t really mind all the Pro features, I just want a larger screen than my iPhone to read documents while at work, and watch Netflix or do some drawings while at home. Can you imagine showing a 3D project design to your boss on a 6.7-inch iPhone? For content consuming sure it’s already that big, but it wasn’t enough for my work flow, and carrying a 15.6-inch laptop around the office seems silly, so the 11-inch iPad is so much more practical. Also the Blue iPad look so good with my Blue iPhone, just waiting for Apple to make the Macbook Air colourful, that might be my next buy. 😂

I still use iPad Air 1st gen from 2013. And while it is slow, it works! I am looking to buy a new iPad, and I am expecting it to last good.
