60hz is a disgrace in 2024 for expensive product
If it was 120 no one would buy the pro 😂
@@TheIrcbullyactually no.. 90hz lcd display would have benefited iPad air
@@SAMxIGRIS true
Its called pro motion for a reason (unless they bump the pros to 240 hz)
Edit: hi (: “E! ER! SAN! SU! WU!” Ok but actually a normal person wouldnt care and wouldnt notice unless their eyes have slo motion
@@ITSBROWSINGTIMEit’s just marketing gimmick , they could easily install better 120 oleds in pros and normal IPS lcd 120 in normal iPads and 90 in basic iPad and things will be alright in that way also
It's fine to say that not many people who are not tech enthusiasts care about 120Hz, but that shouldn't give any right to Apple to charge $600+ for a screen that is 60Hz, whereas no other brand does that. It's not expensive to create a higher refresh rate display.
So, by no means I would call it a tiny feature, and cost cutting is not justifiable reason to do it.
120Hz for most of the consumers is irrelevant, on tablets, phones and PCs.
If give the consumer the option 120hz display or better camera, most of the consumer gonna choose the better camera.
And, 120hz doesn't doesnt make a display good, color rendering , viewn angles, are most import.
Most of tech youtuber keep bitching about the 120hz, but apple make iphone 15 (non -pro) and ipad and ipad air for normal joe. They don't care about that.
@@Rresenden for most people even M2 is irrelevant on tablets, even macs...even for tech enthusiast m2 doesnt matter then why use m2
@@Rresenden All Galaxy Tab S9 models feature a refresh rate of up to 120Hz across the board.
I am a tech enthusiast but I wasn’t able to really spot the difference so even i don’t care
@@bartreisender6765play any demanding game, like Call of Duty mobile, and it’s seriously a night and day difference. And once you see it, you can never unsee it. 60hz will seem disgusting after that.
Embarassing thats its not at least 90Hz. We prolly will need the EU to step in (again) to curb Apples level of greed.
Yup! That, or people stop buying them. Speaking with the wallet is probably a good way to get the most profitable company in the world to listen 😊
@@AlexGTech no chance that happens. We're dealing with a level of sheep where McDonalds is the number burger and Biden, whos half dead was elected. No hope
Sticking with my M2 11" Pro.
I also don"t see any reason to switch from my M1 machine, tbh I could not care less if it has oled or whatever, if you want to watch movies properly then get a TV

They need to do at LEAST 90hz…
its a marketing gimmick so you buy the flagship
Honestly i dont care about 120hz. I use my ipad for YT and Netflix.
I’m not that worried about 120hz your eyes getting adjusted to whatever hz. 799 to 999 bump in pro is a bit much for me
I was hoping the iPad Pro bezels would slim down like the Galaxy Tabs. 😢
Atleast there isn't any notch
@@exonorated5092 That’s true! I think after a while I wouldn’t mind it though. If iPados 18 enables Dynamic Island then I’d be super happy with the iPad Pro bezels as is. 😅
@@exonorated5092 Oh so a tiny notch on a tab is bad but not on an iPhone? 😂😂😂 Dynamic island is more intrusive than the tabs notch!
Or offer a lighter color for the bezels, because they are less noticeable with a lighter color.
@1993rufus heck yes, way worse on a phone. I think the macbook 16inch is my threshold for a notch to exist and literally forget it's there
I defer my purchase while waiting for the launch of the "new" ipads. Now that it is out, I would just buy the Ipad Pro M2 vs the Ipad Air M2 because of the promotion display and quad speakers. Right now, the price difference of the two are so slim if not the same. I am not an artist so I don't need the pencil pro. 😀
Smart person! Don't fall into Apple's schemes!!!
ProMotion and faceID are the only reasons I've been choosing the Pro line since the iPad 10.5" way back in the day. Non-proMotion devices have seemed "old" to me for the last 6 years, even when they run the latest-gen Mx chips.
honestly can't understand why they don't look to delight iPad and iPhone customers for once. Surely they'd still be profitable!
Just buy the 5th Gen 12.9 inch iPad Pro. It’s awesome and should cost about the same?
It's easy for tech enthusiasts to get upset about 60 hz but most people don't care. I had two friends recently who were looking to buy a new phone and I was providing advice and I told them about 120hz and they were like "what's that" so I showed them and they didn't care at all and made their purchasing decision completely ignoring it. I personally wouldn't buy a screen (computer, laptop, tablet, phone etc) that has less than 120hz but some people just do not care at all and for them it makes more sense to get the cheaper product. I personally would buy the iPad Pro for the better screen (120hz but also brighter, deeper blacks, quicker response time etc), better speakers, LiDAR, and extra power for gaming and video editing. Sure it's expensive but after a week of owning it you will forget about the cost and just enjoy it. It also means that you will be happy with it for longer and you will last more years before feeling the need to upgrade. All that said, I won't buy one. I have a 15 Pro Max and an M1 Pro 14" MacBook Pro so I feel like a tablet is just an unnecessary extra device in the middle. Cool, but unnecessary. I was looking at the CPU and GPU benchmarks out of interest and this new M4 iPad is about 40-50% more powerful for single core, multi core and GPU performance than my M1 Pro MBP. That's just crazy. Amazing how fast Apple is pushing the boundaries of performance in fan-less devices.
your friend did not cared for 120hz refresh rate simply because they does not know about it..if they play game with faster FSP requirement they will see the sloppy screen..your friend will probably not know about M1/M2/M4 chip either, nor they will feel the difference unless the use any resource intensive application..
@@bikashdas3146most games do not use ober 60 hrtz on ipad, I have an m1 ipad pro, most games do not use it at all and the ones that do thermal throttle back to 60fps.
@@bikashdas3146 Really? Been playing games like Honkai Star Rail and Wuthering Waves with it and so far it's been a smooth experience for me. 🤔🤷
Due to the current iPadOS bottleneck, I'd say you are right. As an artist, the 13" Air and the Pro Pencil is plenty. The ipad - even the PRO to me will always be a half way house. Most things are finished off when brought into macOS.
This comment may’ve made my decision for me
@@keavs4564 You're welcome mate! Keep up the positive vibes!
the m2 ipad pro is still an option if you want a new ipad air with promotion, miniled hdr screens, thunderbolt, quad speakers.
If it is around the same price as the M2 ipad air, which would you choose?
@@philagon it is around the same price as an m2 air. Considering the pro also comes with an m2. It has everything the new air offers while having features exclusive to pro ipads
At my place, the gap between the air m2 and the pro m2 is at least 250 usd. If the pro m2 drop a little to make the gap closer to 100-150 ish, it would be a no brain move to go for the pro.
@@hphuongsgn even at a 200 dollar gap you are getting way more at least on the 12.9 inch air vs pro. That mini led screen is really worth the extra if youre already spending 800. But in the states you can find them under 900 open box at best buy which definitely gets you way more features with no downsides compared to the “new” airs
The new pro pencil won't work with the old pro!
the Pro devices are for amateurs who think they can be a pro if they just spend more.
Exactly. Unless you are a power user, the Air makes the most sense today for the vast majority of us. Then, again, if money is no object, choosing the top of the line is always defensible. As for software enhancements to come, if the current Air is outmatched we can always update at a reasonable cost. Except for my phone, I use my iPad (it is a Pro 2d generation) , Magic Keyboard and Pencil more than an of my other devices for work and home. It is certainly the device I enjoy using the most. So, my recommendation, if you want to keep costs reasonable to some degree go for the Air 11” with 256K storage and accessorize as much as you can.
I wanted the Pro because of the storage but the air has 1tb now. The cellular models only have eSIM
I am waiting to see comparisons of the new M2 Air versus the M4 Pro. I am looking at the 13 inch models of both with the new Pencil Pro. For now I can't really justify spending another $400 to get the Pro Motion. I am gonna mainly use it for Procreate, CSP, and Procreate Dreams. I do not edit heavy video stuff. For now it seems like the M2 Air 512GB is the one for me unless the M4 IPad Pro can show a ungodly spec difference for someone who does not do video editing. For me the main reason for the IPad Pro is the Pro Motion but at double the price of the M2 Air, not sure it's worth that much.
Lack of 120Hz is a deal breaker for me, especially with the price Apple is charging on for these devices. It looks bad on a cell phone, its more noticeable on a bigger device. I was going to upgrade from my Air 2 this year but I decided to wait until the Air gets at least 90 Hz.
I'm genuinely surprised that they didn’t up it to 120Hz. definitely feels like a chip shot to get us buying the Pro
I don't find 60Hz any issue at all. Frankly, it does not matter to me. I use an iPad for writing, and the 13" Air is a great attraction for me because of its bigger screen. But I am unhappy because of the price and also I need to buy another Apple Pencil Pro. So, it will be the third Apple pencil I am buying, which is really frustrating.
yes. 60Hz at Apples price points on phones and iPads is 100% a deal breaker. to charge a MINIMUM of $929 for a 128GB iPhone 15+ with a 60hz display is pure rip off trash. I see budget phones on android that cost $300-400 with 120hz displays
It’s a deal breaker for me
I’m definitely thinking of getting the iPad air, but as has been said continuing with 60hz is silly in this day an age. There are cheap android tablets that have 90hz displays so it should be no excuse. It’s obvious they’ve done that so people will spend more money on the pro models. It’s the same with the iPhone, they can bring the dynamic island to the 15/15+ but not the 120hz refresh rate? Really?
Its interesting that they marketed Air in school setting but student discount is only available for ipad pro and NOT for air. So essentially after student discount base ipad pro is 899 while air13” with 256 is also 899. They REALLY wanna make you push for that upper model.
Really? In Australia, discount is for all Macs and iPads, even their main accessories
@@BSingh-on4qr You are correct, Just went in the shop to inquire, they said all products should be having a discount. However as of now their website is only showing pro, mac air and pro as discounted but if purchasing in-person, it will be on all products.
60hz on the iPad Air isnt a deslbreaker, but its outrageous that apple still wont provide consumers on what is essentially a 6 year old display tech on its affordable iPad models, and doing everything in their power to make it a bit more worse than the iPad Pro, so that people buy the more expensive option. Its like getting less of the apple experience as you go lower the asking price of the top spec model
Not to mention, the iPad will NEVER become a Macbook replacement, while costing just as much with all accessories combined, due to how much apple nerfs its iPadOS, and IOS 17 has been a terrible experience, with even my M1 iPad pro stuttering while browsing on Safari, and ridiculous battery drain on both the iPhone and iPad.
I had pro motion, I had 60hz iPad, I have 90hz Samsung and… I don’t give a sh… haha. It doesn’t matter to me.
I even settled for an iPad 10th gen. I use the iPad as my main computer. 60hz doesn’t bother me because its not necessary for the work I do. But if money is not an issue, I would also get the iPad Air

Uploading RUclips video n teaching online
@@PranitJoy i create mostly powerpoint presentations and write. I am a preacher and a teacher. I find that all the tools I need works well with an iPad. The Apple Pencil and touch input is a very helpful addition in brainstorming and note-taking too.
I was doing tons of research for the ipad and I was stuck deciding between the air or pro tablets, purely because of the 120Hz refresh rate and face ID. And those seem to be very arbitrary reasons to spend +$300 for the pro compared to the air, but to validate my arbitrary reasons I tried finding out what sort of applications can take advantage of that 120Hz... almost.. NOTHING was useful. Everyone is displaying the difference between 120hz and 60hz for scrolling web pages. While yes, mobile gaming can make use of this refresh rate but personally mobile versions of the top dog games dont cut it for me unless they directly compete with other consoles or pc's. On top of that, I stumbled upon a video that was released *7* years ago, talking about 120Hz on the ipad as a newly released feature. Now, im fuming at how this is even a luxury feature today.
all ipad need is desktop version of chromium based browsers like chrome, brave, edge with all the chrome extension...as many apps are nowdays web apps
after watching the launch event this year I bought an m1 iPad Pro. the iPad air 5's battery has been reported to be worse and the m2 supposedly runs hotter (so an even worse battery?), and the m1 pro works with all the discounted older accessories (and is even bundled with them sometimes) - nothing is even yet using the power of the m1 in iPad land, from what I can see ...
Fed up with Apple’s lack of innovation and Samsung’s lack of customer support. Need to find another brand soon as my upgrade is due in August 2024
someone mentioned there are some nice tablets coming from Chinese brands now, might try one soon
@@AlexGTech oppo and Honor may be
When i bought my M1 Pro I compared it to my budget iPad 5th gen. Especially the usecases RUclipsrs used to show the difference between 60 and 120hz. And I could barely spot any difference to the point I’m not sure if there was any or that I just saw something because i knew there is a technical difference. So for my next buy I won’t care
you will feel the difference of 60hz vs 120hz when you play any fast moving content. If you play game requiring high FPS, your screen will become sloppy at 60Hz.
@@bikashdas3146 for example?
The iPad Air is the hot spot to go!
I chose option 3, bought the 10 gen since it got that price cut to something that actually made sense.
I was gonna upgrade from the 6th gen to the 10th but my budget allowed me to step up to the air 🎉🎉🎉
@@pixelwarrior9235 nice. That’s a solid upgrade
That what I am talking about most people don’t buy the new IPad Air or the new IPad Pro most people still going to buy IPad 10 or IPad 9

Let me say it before Apple Mafia does. Apple Mafia: We don't need 120 hz refresh is fine. Apple Mafia If they get 120 hz refresh rate on everything and Samsung/Android was still trying to sell 60hz refresh rate. Apple Mafia: That's why Apple the best so innovative and the ecosystem and security blah blah blah.... Samsung/Android never works as smooth ( now just imagine Rick James from Shapelle show both hands come to me )
Just gonna keep my M1 11” Pro. It works great.
I would love an iPad Mini Pro though. I doubt Apple will do it. 😢
I think Apple should release a mid range iPhone called the iPhone Air, for example iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Air and then iPhone 16 Pro where the pro would get an M processor that would be my ideal iPhone line up if I was CEO of Apple
Getting a Samsung Tab s9: I’ll just use Google Photos App and Lightroom. Paying almost 850 Euros for 60Hz and LED without a pen is just plain rude.
even galaxy a52 has more multitasking than ipad pro😂
I would go for the Air but since I am drawing with Procreate it seems it will be annoying with 60Hz display.... or?
Good question
When would running 3 apps on screen be useful? I mean you kind of can do that by having 2 apps in Split View and then a floating app that you can hide and bring into view as needed but having 3 apps on screen seems pointless. I don't even do that on my desktop monitor with 38.5" of screen realestate so I can't conceive why I would want such an eyesore on an 11" screen?
Just based on my own usage, but everyone is different:
Whatsapp, Calendar and Zoom meeting.
Notes, Excel/Sheets, RUclips
Ulysses, RUclips, Chrome
@@AlexGTech You do you, but do you really need your calendar when you are in a zoom meeting? Do you need notes AND excel while also watching RUclips? Seems a bit ridiculous. Why not 4 apps? 5? 10? 20 apps on screen!?! WOW! Amazing! So productive! Two is plenty for anyone doing real work and not just fiddling with their toys for fun.
Also don’t forget that you can do PIP if you want a RUclips video on the side while working on other apps and you can do the floating app as well that docks to the left or right side of the screen.
New ipads are way over powered and priced. Buy a samsung tab s9 ultra. Much bigger and beautiful
I went pro for the OLED. When OLED eventually hits the Air I'll trade down even if 60Hz
I'm really curious to see how it performs. 60Hz does feel criminal in 2024
😂Have pro-motion on iPhone 14 Pro. Wouldn’t give 10 cents extra for it!
It doesn't matter about 60 hz its nice but it doesn't bother me.
im keeping an open mind, lets see
60 hz on the new IPad Air don’t bother me because IPad 2 was my last iPad I have
people don't seem to realise that the huge power isn't necessarily for right now, its to future-roof the device. That M4 iPad Pro should last 6 or 7 years no problem, meaning it will still be able to handle power intensive apps well into the future.
why should you buy something you might need in the future? and the battery will give up long before they release an ipados which really uses that much power :P
@@misx80you know that you can change the battery ? It’s not that expensive and you don’t buy an iPad to use it for only one year, it’s better to buy something with a lot of power since who knows, maybe it the futur like in 2 years that power will be needed
And that 60 Hz is ridiculous, tbf it’s because of this that I’ll buy the pro and yeah the pro power isn’t needed today but maybe the pro need it for idk what reason, I just hope that thing won’t overheat the iPad which can make it easily bendable
Or you can also buy the air and upgrade it when the next iPad Air is released but you waste more money
Well I don’t know your budget, it’s up to everyone which iPad they want to buy, the pro annoys me because in France it starts at 1219€ (11’), it hurts to buy it so I’ll wait a month tilI decide which to buy
Please do not answer to my comment since I won’t be coming back here.
It’s dumb the used the old Magic Keyboard.
Hi, alex! What do you think is better to buy, ipad air 6 11 inch or ipad pro m2 11 inch? But I’m kinda leaning towards the air because of the landscape camera
I will be making that very comparison when I get them next week. I am leaning towards the Air too
Tbf I don’t think buying the nano texture screen is a good idea, any sane person will buy a screen protector, most of the time a glass screen protector, im afraid it won’t stick and if it does it damages the screen.
Before buying it I would wait few weeks to see if someone tested it to not waste money
Well it’s just what I think now but it can definitely be false
Yeah that was a quick decision for me too, it really reminded me of the 16GB RAM upgrade on the M1 iPad Pro. Zero reason to get it.
60hz on a big screen was unnaceptable in 2018 let alone in 2024.
I still have my ipad pro 12.9" 2nd gen. The first ipad with 120hz. I loved how smooth it was. When you try it on 60hz on that big of a screen it's annoying.
On the iphone mini phone I couldn't care less. On above 10" it is bad / unbearable
M2 when it met the biggest bottleneck ever: 60hz. 60hz in the A15 days, or A16 could be fine. But M2 is MILES LEAGUES LEAPS BOUNDS AND REGIONS ahead of these A chips, it should have a correlate display to utilize it.
This is only a problem if you are playing games rather than using for art. And if you are using it for art the Apple Pencil pro is a great addition and exclusive to all the new iPads.
Here is something most of those videos are not going to tell you.
Buying iPad = always skip a generation.
Iphones= unless you need the camera ( professional photography and videography )and bigger screen due to anatomical issues the only good iPhone right now is the iPhone SE 3.
Do you really need to play res 4 on your phone ?
How many time has this come handy?
alt+tab has been working perfectly for multitasking on windows since 1987 and it kicks iPad "multitasking "up and down the street 37 years later.
iPads are deliberately crippled devices, but hang on - we are getting a calculator app in September 2024. die of shame apple.
After 9 years my iPad Air 2 died. So I bought the new Air today. The Air starts at 719 euros. Basemodel with 128 GB is enough for me. The Pro starts at 1219 euros. For a 256 GB. In all fairness. The gap is way to big to pay for 120HZ screen. As much I would like that. It’s to big of a price difference.
I use it for productivity and movies on an airplane. 60 vs 120 hertz isn’t an issue. Yes, I do appreciate 120 Hz display and I can’t see the difference. But I’d like someone to explain to me how having slightly smoother movement of icons on the screen when you’re switching pages or scrolling is the quality of life improvement?
Once you have Promotion on your iPad you can’t go back to an iPad with a 60hz display, it’s a huge deal breaker for me I would buy the new iPad Air if it had 120HZ promotion
Apple offers cutting-edge technologies, yet seldom integrates them comprehensively into a single product. Instead, they often blend older tech with newer advancements to maintain profitability. For instance, the absence of features like Face ID and OLED across their entire product range is perplexing. Additionally, ensuring uniform adoption of technologies such as M4 and WiFi 7 would enhance user experience, rather than the current practice of tiered integration with last-generation components.
At least 90Hz.. once you've tried a high refresh panel,going back is hard...now you can buy a 200€ tablet with a 90Hz panel
I recently gave my mother my iPad Pro m1. I got the mini when it came out to take to work, night shift, and now it goes everywhere with me. So I was thinking about getting the iPad Pro M2 12.9 for the screen size an editing. Plus it supports my Apple Pencil 2.
I really wanted the 11” pro since it finally got the screen upgrade we wanted but not liking the price update.
I decided to get the iPad Air 5th gen M1 because it is on sale for $399 brand new on Amazon
I would totally buy the air with the m2 if it had pro motion. Yeah 120hz is a deal breaker. I’m going to sell my iPad Pro gen 1 for around $80 and it has pro motion
60 hz is ridiculous. Should be 120
3k for whole ipad with keyboard and pencil for good specs… while Lenovo legion pro i7 and i9 can get for same price… like.. yeah
A good condition 2nd hand M2 iPad Pro is a better choice than a new M2 Air (if you can find one)
An M2 should be more capable than the samsung tablet running a Dex like Apple feature which will never exist.
as a 165hz desktop user... 60hz on an iPad (lol) is just fine, totally acceptable.
Pro motion should not be a pro thing in 2024 when every other phone company basic models have 120 hz
It’s alright if you haven’t used a ProMotion display on your iPad before, but obviously far less than desirable
As FPT said - get rid of the Air and put it’s features into regular iPad at that price. Keep the Pro and mini. Problem solved from product overlap.
I was all set to the 13 Air until i turned off ProMotion on my 2020 for a while and couldn’t stand it.
I still have my iPad Pro m1 2021 so I went on and got the new iPad Air and I love it
Why
My only problem with the iPad Air 13'' is the price. For the same price you can get a refurbished 12.9 M2 Pro and even though I'm not a fan of refurbished tech in this case you get so much more for your money. Better speakers, better display, 120Hz & miniLED and I also personally prefer the design of the pro better.
Perfect .. I ve got same opinion about promotion on Air… I mean it’s really cheap trick by Apple
Lack of 120hz would bother meafter getting used to it on my surface pro... even if iPad os was actually useful in any way, shape or form to me professionally😂 I'd love to be able to slap windows on to that hardware ..i guess I'll have to wait and see what qualcoms new chips will showcase this year
Ever since the 120 Hz display, I can’t go back. I’m selling my M2 iPad 11 inch and I already bought the 13 Pro! I think it’s finally light enough.
Screen might be stuck at 60hz but at least it doesn’t suffer from pwm like the pro certainly will.
Would the iPad Air with the M2 be good for photo editing? I’m doing a lot of research and it seems like photo editing will be great. Video would be more for the pro, but strictly photo editing, the Air should handle. Am I right?
I haven’t gotten why iPads exist ….why can’t they discontinue the iPads & concentrate on the MacBooks & give all features iPads has to MacBooks & raise prices abit
Great point, I think they still sell really well and until consumers start speaking with their wallets (e.g not buying the 60Hz tech) they will continue to do 'just enough' to push them
Me I do speak with my wallets to buy apple products…hope they listen to customer wants
The 120hz vs 60hz …I think it’s time Apple gave 120 hz cause if small phone companies can offer 120hz apple upsale on pro & me not as much as a pro person but need it on non pro…
No, Alex that's just your opinion
iPad Pro M4 is wayyyyyyyy better
ProMotion is not dealbreaker for me, but variable refresh rate is big miss for battery life when you consuming content. And OLED is thing too. Will stick with my Tab S8+ even that OLED sucks in brightness
Thanks Alex.
Even if the iPad 10th gen with 256gb is selling for $500, for just $100 more, you can get an M2 iPad Air with 128gb. Fantastic value imo.
I have a 120hz AMOLED display phone that i use at 60hz. I don't care about the higher refresh rate tbh.
M2 13 inch air would be the one I would go for now. But I’m waiting on WWDC before I make any purchase
Me! Because of that I bought the M1 iPad Pro today! Cheaper than the new iPad Air 13" and much better...
At this point, the iPad Pro is useless unless it runs macOS.
The chip was just in a Pro device with 0-120 Hz screen so why not on the Brand new heaviest Air ever?? I don't think Apple will ever make the IPad a true MacBook replacement and thi
En miss out on the MacBook Pro sales...if you need a IPad Pro you must have a MacBook pro
couldn't agree more, 90Hz would have been bad but at least people would go 'oh well, it's not a Pro' but 60Hz... yeah that 'Hurts' 😂
I do care. Can't use anything less than 120hz.
I wonder how the nano textured display is going to look with a paper like? I'm thinking if you're using paper like for textured feedback with the pencil, stay away from the nano textured display.
100% what I am thinking too. Whilst the paperlike will give you the paper feel, I'd probbaly avoid adding a matte protector on top of a matte screen. Maybe I am wrong, but logically it's probably not going to be a good move
For me the new pencil functions trump 120hz any day! I’m switching to a 13” Air just for the pencil pro!🤷🏾♂️
The faceid matters more I think but I think it’s just splitting hairs especially for 99% of people that just want a tablet. There’s a reason those old android tablets sold.
oh yeah forgot to mention that!
The lack of promotion in the air is the only thing that is keeping me on the fence. I want to use it for gaming and had it had pro motion it would have been a no brainer as to which one I would buy even though I want that OLED display. But since I’m not getting that either on the air I’m leaning toward pro even though I don’t need that much power.
Really struggling to understand that move by Apple. I will reserve judgement until I use it in real work scenarios, but feels like 90Hz at least would have been a better move for long term usage
The iPad Air really caught my eye, I think that the price is awesome for what they’re offering except for the 60hz display. It does make a difference for me but if I was in the market for a new iPad I’d still get it. Right now I’ve got the iPad 10th gen and I’m super happy with it, the new price of the 10 at least makes the whole iPad line have some sense at least 😂
Hey man ✋✋, can you please help me regarding this. I’m confused between 11” iPad Air M2 and 11” iPad Pro M4. I’m planning to buy for editing videos and gaming especially COD mobile and maybe other high end games. My question is , does the iPad Air M2 chip with 60 HZ refresh rate can handle the game ? Or will there be slowness in the game ? Anyone who is aware, pls help me out to decide.
I am curious about that too and keeping an open mind about it, but on Wednesday I pick it up and this will be one of the first things I test 🥰
@@AlexGTech sure, thanks. I'll wait for your video :)
Buy the ipad pro m2 instead much worth it
I will be testing that out and seeing how they both compare... should be interesting

I’m using Air 4 (2020) & really really considered upgrading to the Air M2. But that makes me think, wouldn’t that be the same as upgrading to the M2 Pro from 2022, performance wise? It just doesn’t sound smart to me.
What would be the advantage of getting an iPad air 13" or even 11" over last Gen iPad Pro 11/13 with promotion and mini led? Surely the prices will drop and last gen PRO would be better.
I will be testing that very aspect as I still have the previous gen. Looking forward to seeing how that 60Hz compares. Gut feel is that the M2 iPad Pro will look (and feel) better but keeping an open mind for now
Seeing a lot of people not caring about a $699 device not having at least 90hz, make this daylight robbery possible
well most people just dont need 120hz and why would I I'm just taking notes drawing and watching youtube and netflix so I don't really see why I would need 120 fps but yeah it would be cool
Im now thinking of selling the 11" IPad pro m2 that i just got as a present for the 13" Ipad air. Do you think its a good idea?
Unless you would like to have a bigger screen, you will miss the quad speaker and the 120hz screen.
Apple mantra « no compromise » never has been so wrong.
I bought the M2 pro last year, but not for the so called pro features, but for the larger screen..So the 13inch new Air would now be my choice if I was in the market for an iPad.
