I use an M1 iPad Air for work and travel, using google drive for work and my iCloud storage for personal the 64 gig version is more than enough! Great experience!
Honestly they're all pretty amazing...trust me if you used computers from 20 years ago, anything out right now is IMPRESSIVE.. it all comes down to needs and your budget.
I ordered the 64g (in the blue that I wanted ) but at last minute I switched to 256g ( in space gray) because of the per cost benefit. Also my current over 5-year old 32g iPad battery has to be plugged at all times. My biggest gripe with Apple is that they didn’t have 128g option this time around. I think current smart phones have a standard of 128g so definitely agree with you.
I bought 64gb blue 💙. 256gb varient was way out off my budget. I mainly use it for note writing and content watching so 64gb is enough for me, but in future I will definitely buy larger storage varient. I am an Android user I didn't knew IOS apps are so big in size in compare to Android ones.

Hi@@kunalkumarnfs12 My iPad Air 5 64gb Blue is almost a year old and I don't have any cracks on the back of my iPad. I've dropped it couple of times yet there is not damage (I am using case tho) so don't worry. It is a great machine for students I take notes on iPad daily. I often download shows and big size games but still I have never used more than half of my storage so if your tight on budget than don't worry 64gb is not much but it's enough. I love the blue colour of my iPad and purple is also a great option. Black, Grey, White, Gold are boring colors go for something spicy. 😂
“Business gotta Business”, now that is one of the most brilliant observations I have heard. Not only is it brilliant, it just makes so much sense. It does go a long way to explain to me at least, some of the reasons why Apple makes the choices it does.
The thing about adding a micro SSD slot is that Apple, never one to compromise one of their profit centers, has a pretty good gig going with their iCloud subscription revenue I suspect. They purposely hobble these machines in that area so we are all forced to accept the monthly fees for convenient storage. Just my 2 cents …
Yeah, it's so easy to start paying for storage, especially if you're deep in the ecosystem. I've got 200gb to keep my files in the cloud for like $3/month

I was so close to buying the IPad Air 5 with 256gb of storage. I paid a little extra for the IPad Pro 11 with 128gb . For that was the sweet spot . Great review as usual
I went with cellular/wifi iPad Air 5 256gb for $900 yeah I know ouch $$ but like the cellular data option when traveling and no WiFi and iPhone battery is low and personal hotspot isn’t an option either.
I still think the M1 iPad pro is worth getting over the Air 5. You get double the storage, the 120hz screen, and 4 times the data transfer speed the squad speakers all these features are worth the £200/$200 IMO.
@@elodietrempe3967 No because your changing the user experience. 120 hz makes a big difference so do speakers. $200 is nothing over the years you will keep the device.

@Mashi654 No it has 2 speakers. For me I have a Tech website if your spending so much that extra $200 is worth it especially the screen. Now the 12.9 inch pro is a LOT of money and you comes with drawbacks like how huge it is the Pro 11 inch doesn't
You’re wrong about speed of storage impact. It’s maybe one of the most important thing in any device. Apple specifically makes their storage drive faster and increases single threaded performance, because of the features that they use to compensate lack of RAM. Adding more RAM is helpful but responsiveness of your device very much depends on speed of main storage. For Apple it’s maybe better to have users complaining about lack of SD card slot, than implementing it and dealing with their devices getting slower and users don’t understanding why. I personally bought iPad pro because of ProMotion and FaceID, and I really love this thing. Sorry if my English isn’t perfect, it’s not my native language.
Full thunderbolt support was the reason I finally upgraded from my iPad Pro 10.5 and OG iPad Pro so no full thunderbolt us worth the extra for me as I can use it with my docks and my older Thunderbolt Display. Good you can use Air with the new display though so be interesting to see if it would work with the older one as well.
@@TheEverydayDad I think most people don’t buy the 2TB 5G version of the M1 iPad like I have too (I am actually ok with MacBook base model as prefer iPad nowadays). Both my own dad and I watch your videos from the U.K. and we both agree 90% of people are best with the base model or the middle products you often recommend. As you also often say unless you know why you need something you probably don’t 😂 Dad generations love the everyday dad!
@@bobdrums the iPad Pro M1 does yep. If you get the keyboard case you need the Apple thunderbolt 2 to three adapter. There is even a MagSafe to USB C converter via ELECJET you can get from Amazon so it charges the iPad via the keyboard case when in use. I love it and just hoping now the Air works with the new studio display we might finally get proper 16:9 extended display support!
Definitely the best value iPad for me. I have terabytes of cloud storage, so I have no need for internal storage. I also don’t care enough about the pro features to pay $200 more. My old iPad lasted 8+ years, so I’m sure the Air 5 should last at least as long for me.
@@iidentifyasjeffbezos games are not the main storage demanding apps on my iPad, even as I game sometimes. If you are going to use the iPad for safari, youtube and documents you don’t need an M1 at all… just go for the base model. But if you really need an M1, then u eventually are going to need storage.
I’m divided between getting new iPad Air M1 or the 11” iPad Pro M1. I’m divided because of the 120 hertz display, the transfer speed from the thunderbolt 4 and the fact that I don’t think I can go back to Touch ID, I’ve had Face ID since I got my iPhone X in November 2017. I do a lot of zoom calls and projects and assignments in my academic life, what would you recommend for me?
If you’re fine with an used iPad Pro, then you can always find good deals on eBay. Just bought a used iPad Pro 11inch 256gb for $650. It has light scratches but is on overall decent condition. I’m able to get apple care for mine so if I want to replace the screen or the battery, it’ll be a brand new Pro again. If you think about it, apple put 64GB instead of 128gb for the Air because they want us to spend the extra $200 for a brand new Pro. Just like how with fast food, the Large will always seem to be a “cheaper” deal but in reality, we end up spending more.
I have an iPad Pro 2017 with Touch ID and iPhone 11, I prefer the Touch ID any time. With Face ID I need to move my phone to detect my face every time, and with mask I’m using passcode. I hope apple reintroduce touch id on next iPhone.
My iPad 6 mini only has 64 GB. My old mini has 64 GB as well. It worked fine. only had to upgrade because the battery died on one and it wouldn’t upgrade to the current OS on another. I’ve saved money by sticking to the lowest storage
Other than the different CPU, there really isn’t any significant difference in specs between the 4th and 5th generation iPad Air. I’ll upgrade when there is a meaningful total improvement.
I've yet to see any apps that actually make full use of the M1 chip in the iPads. It won't be any faster in the real world than an A12X or A14 chip from last gen. Even things like video rendering are barely faster on M1, despite benchmarks suggesting it should be like 2x faster.
@@the_wiki9408 Key word..."yet". As M1 (and successor SoCs) make their way to ALL of Apple's iPads and iPhones, Devs will be able to add/unlock functionality and performance tweaks months or even years after you bought them.
I think this is the right choice. I picked up the 11" iPad Pro with 128GB and the M1 chip from last year and even that felt like a mistake from the previous non-M1 iPad Pro. IMO, the M1 is powerful, true; but nothing you do on an iPad will require you to need the M1 chip, ON AN IPAD PRO. The iPad Air certainly doesn't need it. Apple could have given us a 128GB/M1 iPad Air and chose not to do that. If you need to upgrade, go with the 256GB iPad Air from last year, or the iPad Pro, 4th gen (128GB). Do not buy an M1 iPad under any circumstance.
64 gigs is a no go for me, so I’d have to pay extra for more storage, at that point it’s only $50 cheaper for the pro. Idk why this is even an option, but might make sense when they update the pro and increase the price
They do it so you'll go ahead and buy the pro which costs them about $1 more to make. They know a lot of people will not want 64gb and will bump it up to 256 (there is a reason they don't offer a 128gb option) and then realize just what you said - the pro is only $50 more for a higher refresh screen and it has the exact amount of storage they want (128gb).
@@adityagurav2271 You cannot run apps off an external storage drive, plus who wants to carry around an external storage drive hanging from their tablet? No thanks.
You’re comparing the 128GB version of the Pro with the 256GB Air. If you even need the iPad Pro, 128GB should also be insufficient. The price difference of 256GB versions is $150.
@@rorywalters1614 not really convinced. 128 is doable (pro or not), 64 is not. 256 is great, but for a $50 difference it’s the only selling point of the air. I’d rather have a much better machine with 128 than pay a tiny bit less for a worse machine with 256.
Great review, but Apple doesn't want to add that little SD slot because it forces (a small percentage of buyers) to purchase the overly priced 128GB and 256GB versions of the iPad. Unfortunately.
I'm waiting for them to finally put DaVinci resolve on the iPad... That would be amazing... They can keep the final cut to the more professional market but at least let us use DaVinci on the iPad...

Bought my iPad Air two weeks ago expecting the new one will feature an a15 chip, damn Apple included the the M1 in it for the same price. Now I’m in rage with Apple.
Thank you. But here in Sri Lanka, we don’t have Apple stores. Instead we have authorized 3rd party resellers. And the major downside is we pay 40% more for Apple products due to tax. I bought iPad Air 4 in my currency enrichment for 700US$.
Love the video. Thanks a lot. Just wanted to say that in my opinion, there is no excuse for 64GB of storage in 2022 considering the fact that iPad air is not a cheap tablet. Cloud storage should not be an excuse as well for the low storage.
I still have a 2nd gen iPad pro 12.9 with 256gb. It still runs like new with 281 battery cycles and I seldom use more than 50gb storage. I use my iPad far more than iPhone or MacBook. The only reason for me to stay with the 12.9 size is because it’s easier for me to read small text at default settings. Some apps don’t allow you to adjust text size.
I bought the iPad Air and returned it for the iPad Pro 11”. I hated touch control. Promotion display, four speakers, Face ID and 128g storage make it well worth the extra $200. The pro screen is 100 nits brighter which helps.
If you need more storage than 64GB, the iPad Pro can make more sense. The Air will cost $749 for 256gb and the Pro is $799 for 128GB plus you get ProMotion, Face ID and multiple cameras (that you won’t use, lol).
64gb is value for money but need to considering its a m1 chip mean a massively you can use the tablet with none issue for at least 5 year .. mean the app and game will get huge stroage increase .. so i will consider at least a 128gb for future proof or maybe 256gb
*For Digital Artists (especially those who would be buying their first Ipad) just go with the Ipad Pro.* That Ipad Pro would be a long time investment so don't save up that extra $200 upgrade from the Air
Please could you do a comparison video between the MacBook Air and iPad Air. I’m a student and I mainly need something for doing PowerPoint presentations, Microsoft word, browsing the internet, Netflix and browsing the web
as a student i think you should definitely make sure you get a laptop first, and if you have money left over then get the ipad. ipados is basically just ios on an ipad, so a macbook would definitely work better for things like powerpoint and word. but if you like taking handwritten notes then an ipad is better in that regard
I use an iPad Pro (A12Z chip) but I do like this new iPad Air M1. The colors are gorgeous. Especially Starlight and Purple! But I won’t upgrade to this Air. My next iPad will also be a Pro. Probably next year with the announcement of the iPad Pro 6th gen. Great video as always.
Bought an iPad 9th Gen with 1st gen Apple pen! Best Buy for note taking and watching movies! And this is after watching your honest review for an iPad 9th gen.
It's NOT a personal decision: the biggest difference is the storeage size. So yes, if you truly are not planning on doing much with it, then you don't need > 64GB. Maybe can get by with 32GB. You say no problem: use the cloud. But what if your connectivity is bad, or non-existent? Like you are off-grid? Or travelling? The reason that the M1 was used by Apple in the iPad was because it was CHEAPER for Apple to do it. Volumes of scale. It mean't they could use the SAME chip in lots of their systems. But OK, you said that, more or less. The big advantage for an iPad in the M1/M2 is their energy efficiency.
Storage speed does matter. One of the reasons most Android flagships killed the SD card slot is because if there’s an option for it, idiots are gonna put all their crap onto the slow ass SD card and complain their phones being slow. Most phone users don’t know what’s the difference between NVMe, UFS and eMMC, they only look at how large the storage is. Even if there is the option, what you can do with that SD card would be highly limited by the system or Apps.
I really appreciate your opinion on this video. I think a lot of people haven’t been considering some of the points you made as well as how each iPad is great for different needs. Most people just say to upgrade and that’s it. Thanks for the video!
I wouldn't buy a 64 gb, so consider this -> if you have to decide between the 256 gb iPad Air 5th Gen or the iPad Pro 3rd Gen .. I would pick the iPad Pro 3rd Gen because it has better camera modular, much much better quad speaker system (you need to hear it to believe how better it is), Promotion screen , 500 nits display which is slightly better than the iPad Air ,slightly larger screen real estate & overall a better looking device. what could you really do with an M1 chip in the iPad Air when your display is stupid 60hz ? it's gonna be choppy compared to 120 hz no matter what.
only one point for consideration, size matters? yes > iPad Air no > iPad Pro why not mini, because of Air is the perfect sizes to view and amends documents.
not really, idk why people are comparing the air 256gb to the pro 128gb. If you’re using well over 64gb already, then it might be better to have 256gb just in case you do need the storage in the future. Otherwise if you’re not using well over then you can find some way to optimize storage or use cloud space.
@@xeon3081 I absolutely agree. I'd rather spend less for double the storage than a 128gb iPad pro provides, over a fancy pro motion that i will never notice.

I was looking at tablets recently for notes and light work in college and with this it's impossible to ignore even as a android user, the start of 64gb really sucks as I know I'll fill that up easy but the 256gb model feels like i won't unless i try, but to make it usable without monitoring storage constantly i may have to go to 256gb
It sounds bad, but in reality all of your videos and photos are stored in iCloud, and take up basically no space on your iPad. Bulk majority of apps take up little to no space. Notes will take up literally no space. You could have 100,000 note files without taking up even 1gb.
@@nickjacobsss thank you for saying that. I assumed the iOS update is going to take 6GB and the system data might use about 10GB and so on. that's about 16GB without doing much of anything, huh?
64GB of storage for a tablet this powerful, seems like buying a Porsche with a 5 gallon gas tank. It's just not enough, especially for a device you should be able to run for years. If it was even 96GB it might be OK, but 64GB is just sad. Honestly if you do so little on your iPad that 64GB is plenty, you should probably be buying the base iPad, as you surely aren't making use of M1 chip.
I am a Mac fanboy. I have only owned Macs since 1990, and used Apple computers since about 1978. For personal reasons, I like 8 inch screens. Bigger and more legible than an iPhone Plus. Smaller and handier than a 10 inch iPad. I have a last generation iPad 10 inch ($329). I have used it for literal minutes over the past years, and keep it parked next to my computer desk. My latest tablet purchase was an Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8 ($59.99) in 2021. (I have also owned Samsung Tab 3 (2013) and the original Kindle Fire ($34.99)) I watch videos. I browse the Internet. I read. That's what I need. Anything work related or that requires typing beyond a few paragraphs, I use an actual computer.
@@etaka Exactly. Since I do take a lot of photos and shoot videos regularly I tend to upgrade my iPhone every second year or so and can definitely tell a difference in video quality over the years.

I need to upgrade my video editing device. Was almost sold on the iPad Pro until this one came out. Would you recommend this iPad Air for solely video editing?
What if someone was to go out and buy this device and wanted to know the best way to integrate it into a primary Google/Android home system? Or the reverse, integrate a Google/Android device into a primarily Apple environment. There are just too many RUclips channels saying the same thing, you know the "buy this stuff and you'll be happy and it will help me get rich" line. Right now everyone is saying "buy this new and shiny thing" but not many seem interested in "after the sale" support...
The problem with that is you aren't gonna be able to use the full 64gb, 20% of that already small storage will be use by ipad OS and with every ipad update it will only get smaller.

I have a ipad Pro Gen1 12 inch. I am always confused with the new IPad Air. Never know if it's more powerful than the Pro last gens or not. I am afraid to move from Pro to Air and miss something important...
iPad Air clearly is the best choice in Apple's iPad lineup, but you definitely need more than 64 measly GB (which is not even what you really can use) to install more than 2,5 apps and not everyone is comfortable loading their stuff to the cloud. So the base Air is not an option I'm afraid unless you just want to browse the web and read your mails. Also I'm not so sure that Apple is going to offer prolonged update support, what reason would you have to buy a new tablet, when the hardware itself is still sufficient 5 years from now, this is a double-edged sword.
I held off on getting a new iPad, until now. I bought the blue in 256 for future proofing. I currently have a 2017 10.5 pro model. I keep mine for years so 😀. I’m excited to get this.

Objectively, the M1 has been a game-changer...iPhone 14 will likely sport an M1-variant. Take that, Android (Samsung) Fan Bois!...and...with the upcoming Mac Pro desktop and it's next-gen M-series SoC, Apple will be setting off Code Browns at AMD and Intel. Granted, it will be crazy expensive for the average Jane or Joe Mac user....but over a shorter and shorter time span, Apple will indeed migrate those processor more broadly "downward" as prices drop.
It's really sad how I used to be an Android fan boy, complaining a thousand things about Apple, until Samsung became Apple itself and now Apple offers powerful and sometimes affordable devices, specially since the creation of the M1. "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
.... The problem is.. what are you doing with that power? Unless you edit 4k videos its doing nothing. You still cant multitask like DEX. You dont have sd card slots, You dont have a real file manager or an easy way to use apks and other non apple approved formats. You cant use xbox game pass, stadia, geforce now, etc. Console level games... I can go on and on but yes.. the chip is powerful. Hopefully you finally get a calculator app soon ...
@@jd2161 DeX is just f*cking over-rated. A glorified software skin which just supports native and Microsoft apps, what am I even supposed to do with that? SD cards?

File manager, I agree, Apks, I don't give a f*ck about, xbox game pass can also be used on iPadOS, so can stadia one safari, geforce now depends on NVIDIA. I can also go on and on about the app compatibility and half baked applications and features of android which sometimes don't even matter, and oh f*cking boot loops, I have had them like a 100 times on android.

BTW I love the Blue color I got, it Puts me in a better mood just looking at it.
Like your videos but I have to disagree on this one. Getting M1 without the storage is like getting ProRes without the Thunderbolt, pointless. But iCloud doesn’t fix the issue when the iPad you start with is too small to fit one memory card’s capacity, cloud storage is slow and won’t even display raw file preview.
I have to agree if photo or video is something you’re going to use it a lot for. I use 64gb memory cards, haven’t gone all in the cloud yet but if I did I’d therefore want at least 128gb so I could dump a full memory card plus some extra and still have some wiggle room while it slowly fed the data up to the cloud. But 64gb is plenty for a lot of people. Apple I feel still wants you and I to look at the Pros
Question: if you have a Macbook Pro, but only have the money for an iPad pro or an iPhone, which of the two would you go for to make the best possible ecosystem for productivity? I already have a Samsung S10 and a standard iPad that is reaching the end of its life, and I don't know what to go for.
So ipad air 5 vs iPad mini 6, which one will be better for regular days, because I just bought an iPad mini 6, thinking should I go exchange an iPad air 5 in 15 days….
I just bought a iPad Mini. Would it be better to get the new air or just keep the mini. I like the size of the mini. That’s why I decided to get that, but they just updated the air out of nowhere. Opinions?
1st things about ipads: choose your form factor. You have mini, "normal" (gen 9, air, 11" pro, and 12.9". Well, as you can see, you really on have to choose between different models if your prefer the mid size. If you prefer the smaller one there's only one (amazing) option. Personally I don't really like the mini form factor, but if you like it I you shouldn't regret your purchase!
I use an M1 iPad Air for work and travel, using google drive for work and my iCloud storage for personal the 64 gig version is more than enough! Great experience!
Honestly they're all pretty amazing...trust me if you used computers from 20 years ago, anything out right now is IMPRESSIVE.. it all comes down to needs and your budget.
I ordered the 64g (in the blue that I wanted ) but at last minute I switched to 256g ( in space gray) because of the per cost benefit.

I'm also buying my first apple device - iPad Air 5. Cheers🥂
I was so close to buying the IPad Air 5 with 256gb of storage. I paid a little extra for the IPad Pro 11 with 128gb . For that was the sweet spot . Great review as usual
That’s exactly what apple wanted. Climb up the price ladder
I went with cellular/wifi iPad Air 5 256gb for $900 yeah I know ouch $$ but like the cellular data option when traveling and no WiFi and iPhone battery is low and personal hotspot isn’t an option either.
I still think the M1 iPad pro is worth getting over the Air 5.
You get double the storage, the 120hz screen, and 4 times the data transfer speed the squad speakers all these features are worth the £200/$200 IMO.
But if you dont need all that shouldnt it be better to keep the 200$
@@elodietrempe3967 No because your changing the user experience. 120 hz makes a big difference so do speakers. $200 is nothing over the years you will keep the device.
@@jd2161 nah, we broke
@@jd2161 but u have to understand that a lot of people buys iPads either as their secondary or even tertiary device. They don’t need the best of the best iPads unlike phones and computers

Now the 12.9 inch pro is a LOT of money and you comes with drawbacks like how huge it is the Pro 11 inch doesn't
You’re wrong about speed of storage impact. It’s maybe one of the most important thing in any device. Apple specifically makes their storage drive faster and increases single threaded performance, because of the features that they use to compensate lack of RAM. Adding more RAM is helpful but responsiveness of your device very much depends on speed of main storage.
For Apple it’s maybe better to have users complaining about lack of SD card slot, than implementing it and dealing with their devices getting slower and users don’t understanding why.
I personally bought iPad pro because of ProMotion and FaceID, and I really love this thing.
Sorry if my English isn’t perfect, it’s not my native language.

I get it, but I always find it funny that you make a comment about 64 gb not being enough, when my phone only had 32. Lol
I"m still rocking my iPad Air 2. The iPad Air 5 is on the way!
Full thunderbolt support was the reason I finally upgraded from my iPad Pro 10.5 and OG iPad Pro so no full thunderbolt us worth the extra for me as I can use it with my docks and my older Thunderbolt Display. Good you can use Air with the new display though so be interesting to see if it would work with the older one as well.
Thats a valid point, there are very real reasons to get other devices if they have the features you need.
@@TheEverydayDad I think most people don’t buy the 2TB 5G version of the M1 iPad like I have too (I am actually ok with MacBook base model as prefer iPad nowadays). Both my own dad and I watch your videos from the U.K. and we both agree 90% of people are best with the base model or the middle products you often recommend. As you also often say unless you know why you need something you probably don’t 😂 Dad generations love the everyday dad!
Does that work with the old Apple Thunderbolt Display?
@@bobdrums the iPad Pro M1 does yep. If you get the keyboard case you need the Apple thunderbolt 2 to three adapter. There is even a MagSafe to USB C converter via ELECJET you can get from Amazon so it charges the iPad via the keyboard case when in use. I love it and just hoping now the Air works with the new studio display we might finally get proper 16:9 extended display support!
Definitely the best value iPad for me. I have terabytes of cloud storage, so I have no need for internal storage. I also don’t care enough about the pro features to pay $200 more. My old iPad lasted 8+ years, so I’m sure the Air 5 should last at least as long for me.

I’m divided between getting new iPad Air M1 or the 11” iPad Pro M1. I’m divided because of the 120 hertz display, the transfer speed from the thunderbolt 4 and the fact that I don’t think I can go back to Touch ID, I’ve had Face ID since I got my iPhone X in November 2017. I do a lot of zoom calls and projects and assignments in my academic life, what would you recommend for me?
You can just pick up a good like new pro from Amazon for 200 bucks off anyways Might as well go for the pro if you can get a discount
Get the iPad Pro, the 256gb iPad Air is $750 while the 128gb iPad Pro is $800, and you get more features, def worth getting over the iPad Air 5
If you’re fine with an used iPad Pro, then you can always find good deals on eBay. Just bought a used iPad Pro 11inch 256gb for $650. It has light scratches but is on overall decent condition.
I’m able to get apple care for mine so if I want to replace the screen or the battery, it’ll be a brand new Pro again.
If you think about it, apple put 64GB instead of 128gb for the Air because they want us to spend the extra $200 for a brand new Pro. Just like how with fast food, the Large will always seem to be a “cheaper” deal but in reality, we end up spending more.
I have an iPad Pro 2017 with Touch ID and iPhone 11, I prefer the Touch ID any time. With Face ID I need to move my phone to detect my face every time, and with mask I’m using passcode. I hope apple reintroduce touch id on next iPhone.
Obviously the iPad pro.
Not even a hard decision.
My iPad 6 mini only has 64 GB. My old mini has 64 GB as well. It worked fine. only had to upgrade because the battery died on one and it wouldn’t upgrade to the current OS on another. I’ve saved money by sticking to the lowest storage
Other than the different CPU, there really isn’t any significant difference in specs between the 4th and 5th generation iPad Air. I’ll upgrade when there is a meaningful total improvement.
It is a huge improvement over my OG iPad Air.... and a compelling reason to upgrade.....but yea, not so much from the Air 2
I've yet to see any apps that actually make full use of the M1 chip in the iPads. It won't be any faster in the real world than an A12X or A14 chip from last gen. Even things like video rendering are barely faster on M1, despite benchmarks suggesting it should be like 2x faster.
@@the_wiki9408 Key word..."yet". As M1 (and successor SoCs) make their way to ALL of Apple's iPads and iPhones, Devs will be able to add/unlock functionality and performance tweaks months or even years after you bought them.
I think this is the right choice. I picked up the 11" iPad Pro with 128GB and the M1 chip from last year and even that felt like a mistake from the previous non-M1 iPad Pro.
IMO, the M1 is powerful, true; but nothing you do on an iPad will require you to need the M1 chip, ON AN IPAD PRO. The iPad Air certainly doesn't need it. Apple could have given us a 128GB/M1 iPad Air and chose not to do that. If you need to upgrade, go with the 256GB iPad Air from last year, or the iPad Pro, 4th gen (128GB). Do not buy an M1 iPad under any circumstance.
@@goobfilmcast4239 The iPad 10.2 9th gen just launched with an A13. So I don't see that happening for 5+ years.
64 gigs is a no go for me, so I’d have to pay extra for more storage, at that point it’s only $50 cheaper for the pro. Idk why this is even an option, but might make sense when they update the pro and increase the price
They do it so you'll go ahead and buy the pro which costs them about $1 more to make. They know a lot of people will not want 64gb and will bump it up to 256 (there is a reason they don't offer a 128gb option) and then realize just what you said - the pro is only $50 more for a higher refresh screen and it has the exact amount of storage they want (128gb).
Buy external storage drive.
@@adityagurav2271 You cannot run apps off an external storage drive, plus who wants to carry around an external storage drive hanging from their tablet? No thanks.
You’re comparing the 128GB version of the Pro with the 256GB Air. If you even need the iPad Pro, 128GB should also be insufficient. The price difference of 256GB versions is $150.
@@rorywalters1614 not really convinced. 128 is doable (pro or not), 64 is not. 256 is great, but for a $50 difference it’s the only selling point of the air. I’d rather have a much better machine with 128 than pay a tiny bit less for a worse machine with 256.
Great review, but Apple doesn't want to add that little SD slot because it forces (a small percentage of buyers) to purchase the overly priced 128GB and 256GB versions of the iPad. Unfortunately.
I'm waiting for them to finally put DaVinci resolve on the iPad...
That would be amazing...

You bought the iPad Air 4 ? If so they just dropped the price by $100. You can probably get the price adjustment.
Bring it back to the store. Apple allows two week exchange policy
This is your fault
Thank you. But here in Sri Lanka, we don’t have Apple stores. Instead we have authorized 3rd party resellers. And the major downside is we pay 40% more for Apple products due to tax. I bought iPad Air 4 in my currency enrichment for 700US$.
100%, preordered mine in purple the day preorders went live.
Love the video. Thanks a lot. Just wanted to say that in my opinion, there is no excuse for 64GB of storage in 2022 considering the fact that iPad air is not a cheap tablet. Cloud storage should not be an excuse as well for the low storage.
I still have a 2nd gen iPad pro 12.9 with 256gb. It still runs like new with 281 battery cycles and I seldom use more than 50gb storage. I use my iPad far more than iPhone or MacBook. The only reason for me to stay with the 12.9 size is because it’s easier for me to read small text at default settings. Some apps don’t allow you to adjust text size.
How are you so specific about the battery cycle?
I bought the iPad Air and returned it for the iPad Pro 11”. I hated touch control. Promotion display, four speakers, Face ID and 128g storage make it well worth the extra $200. The pro screen is 100 nits brighter which helps.
If you need more storage than 64GB, the iPad Pro can make more sense. The Air will cost $749 for 256gb and the Pro is $799 for 128GB plus you get ProMotion, Face ID and multiple cameras (that you won’t use, lol).
64gb is value for money but need to considering its a m1 chip mean a massively you can use the tablet with none issue for at least 5 year .. mean the app and game will get huge stroage increase .. so i will consider at least a 128gb for future proof or maybe 256gb
I was gonna buy it but I wanted more space so I just went for the iPad Pro 11 inch
I did the same.
Me too...
I just bought a used iPad pro 11 for cheaper than a new iPad air
I’m going to assume the Mini 7 when it releases sometime in 2023 will also get the M1 chip
*For Digital Artists (especially those who would be buying their first Ipad) just go with the Ipad Pro.*
That Ipad Pro would be a long time investment so don't save up that extra $200 upgrade from the Air
The next iPad Pro will 100% have to make huge steps up from the current
Please could you do a comparison video between the MacBook Air and iPad Air. I’m a student and I mainly need something for doing PowerPoint presentations, Microsoft word, browsing the internet, Netflix and browsing the web
Tbh.. same at this point its looking more like samsung dex is better than ipad for productivity
as a student i think you should definitely make sure you get a laptop first, and if you have money left over then get the ipad. ipados is basically just ios on an ipad, so a macbook would definitely work better for things like powerpoint and word. but if you like taking handwritten notes then an ipad is better in that regard
If you know exactly what your tablet will be used for and you don’t need much storage 64 gb is enough.
I use an iPad Pro (A12Z chip) but I do like this new iPad Air M1. The colors are gorgeous. Especially Starlight and Purple! But I won’t upgrade to this Air. My next iPad will also be a Pro. Probably next year with the announcement of the iPad Pro 6th gen. Great video as always.
Apple gives you the best value tech for your money. I’m still rockin’ a 1st Gen, 9.7” iPad Pro. It’s six years old and still going strong.
When the base iPhone SE has more storage than the iPad Air, there's a problem. I wish Apple would just quit with the storage gouging...
Bought an iPad 9th Gen with 1st gen Apple pen! Best Buy for note taking and watching movies! And this is after watching your honest review for an iPad 9th gen.
It's NOT a personal decision: the biggest difference is the storeage size.
So yes, if you truly are not planning on doing much with it, then you don't need > 64GB.
Maybe can get by with 32GB.
You say no problem: use the cloud.
But what if your connectivity is bad, or non-existent?
Like you are off-grid?
Or travelling?
The reason that the M1 was used by Apple in the iPad was because it was CHEAPER for Apple to do it.
Volumes of scale.
It mean't they could use the SAME chip in lots of their systems.
But OK, you said that, more or less.
The big advantage for an iPad in the M1/M2 is their energy efficiency.
Solid points made. Still, I wonder how much storage does one get, once out of box and the normal set-up is completed - with the 64GB model.
Storage speed does matter. One of the reasons most Android flagships killed the SD card slot is because if there’s an option for it, idiots are gonna put all their crap onto the slow ass SD card and complain their phones being slow. Most phone users don’t know what’s the difference between NVMe, UFS and eMMC, they only look at how large the storage is. Even if there is the option, what you can do with that SD card would be highly limited by the system or Apps.
I really appreciate your opinion on this video. I think a lot of people haven’t been considering some of the points you made as well as how each iPad is great for different needs. Most people just say to upgrade and that’s it. Thanks for the video!
I wouldn't buy a 64 gb, so consider this -> if you have to decide between the 256 gb iPad Air 5th Gen or the iPad Pro 3rd Gen .. I would pick the iPad Pro 3rd Gen because it has better camera modular, much much better quad speaker system (you need to hear it to believe how better it is), Promotion screen , 500 nits display which is slightly better than the iPad Air ,slightly larger screen real estate & overall a better looking device. what could you really do with an M1 chip in the iPad Air when your display is stupid 60hz ? it's gonna be choppy compared to 120 hz no matter what.
I can't wait for that accessories video that you make for the iPad Air 5!
The iPad Pro 11 price is 25% more, but adding storage to 256 now the price is 6% more.
amazingly, i still only use 32gb on a chomebook and i am absolutely satisfied as i do everything in the cloud
This new air is already on sale at Walmart for $559. Might make it more appealing for some.
only one point for consideration,
size matters?
yes > iPad Air
no > iPad Pro
why not mini, because of Air is the perfect sizes to view and amends documents.
I think I will wait to see what the new 11 inch pro will be like in June when it comes out. With the M2 chip
Better wait for the M3 chip!!!
finally going to grab an ipad great entry price for someone who just needs basic tablet functions
Apple products would be 10x better if they are all available with 128gb 🌝
i loved my air, but the battery was so bad ;( im happy with my pro now though but im really looking into the mini as an extra tablet
This is waste of money with the space provided . Spend the same money (few dollar extra ) and get iPad Pro 11" which better option for long run.
not really, idk why people are comparing the air 256gb to the pro 128gb. If you’re using well over 64gb already, then it might be better to have 256gb just in case you do need the storage in the future. Otherwise if you’re not using well over then you can find some way to optimize storage or use cloud space.

I was looking at tablets recently for notes and light work in college and with this it's impossible to ignore even as a android user, the start of 64gb really sucks as I know I'll fill that up easy but the 256gb model feels like i won't unless i try, but to make it usable without monitoring storage constantly i may have to go to 256gb
It sounds bad, but in reality all of your videos and photos are stored in iCloud, and take up basically no space on your iPad. Bulk majority of apps take up little to no space. Notes will take up literally no space. You could have 100,000 note files without taking up even 1gb.

64GB of storage for a tablet this powerful, seems like buying a Porsche with a 5 gallon gas tank. It's just not enough, especially for a device you should be able to run for years. If it was even 96GB it might be OK, but 64GB is just sad. Honestly if you do so little on your iPad that 64GB is plenty, you should probably be buying the base iPad, as you surely aren't making use of M1 chip.

They know their sheep will still buy because many are too simple minded to understand how little 64 gb is today
Bought one too can’t wait to arrive
Tbh - most people could easily be happy with an old iPad. I have the first iPad mini and it does 98% of everything I need from an iPad.
I am a Mac fanboy. I have only owned Macs since 1990, and used Apple computers since about 1978.
For personal reasons, I like 8 inch screens. Bigger and more legible than an iPhone Plus. Smaller and handier than a 10 inch iPad. I have a last generation iPad 10 inch ($329). I have used it for literal minutes over the past years, and keep it parked next to my computer desk.
My latest tablet purchase was an Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8 ($59.99) in 2021. (I have also owned Samsung Tab 3 (2013) and the original Kindle Fire ($34.99)) I watch videos. I browse the Internet. I read. That's what I need. Anything work related or that requires typing beyond a few paragraphs, I use an actual computer.
@@etaka Exactly. Since I do take a lot of photos and shoot videos regularly I tend to upgrade my iPhone every second year or so and can definitely tell a difference in video quality over the years.

64gb is still a TONNE of storage for me. Most likely because all I use the storage is for games
The problem with that is you aren't gonna be able to use the full 64gb, 20% of that already small storage will be use by ipad OS and with every ipad update it will only get smaller.
Got the 256GB always settled for the 32GB 64GB decided to leap to 256GB.

iPad Air clearly is the best choice in Apple's iPad lineup, but you definitely need more than 64 measly GB (which is not even what you really can use) to install more than 2,5 apps and not everyone is comfortable loading their stuff to the cloud. So the base Air is not an option I'm afraid unless you just want to browse the web and read your mails. Also I'm not so sure that Apple is going to offer prolonged update support, what reason would you have to buy a new tablet, when the hardware itself is still sufficient 5 years from now, this is a double-edged sword.
I love your shirt !! I want one 😂
Best Buy currently has it on sale for $499
Finally the iPad Air is relevant again.
I held off on getting a new iPad, until now. I bought the blue in 256 for future proofing. I currently have a 2017 10.5 pro model. I keep mine for years so 😀. I’m excited to get this.

64GB on iPad air is not enough buy the 256GB instead. At this point base 128GB for 50$ more iPad pro is a very good option.
Objectively, the M1 has been a game-changer...iPhone 14 will likely sport an M1-variant. Take that, Android (Samsung) Fan Bois!...and...with the upcoming Mac Pro desktop and it's next-gen M-series SoC, Apple will be setting off Code Browns at AMD and Intel. Granted, it will be crazy expensive for the average Jane or Joe Mac user....but over a shorter and shorter time span, Apple will indeed migrate those processor more broadly "downward" as prices drop.
It's really sad how I used to be an Android fan boy, complaining a thousand things about Apple, until Samsung became Apple itself and now Apple offers powerful and sometimes affordable devices, specially since the creation of the M1. "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
.... The problem is.. what are you doing with that power? Unless you edit 4k videos its doing nothing. You still cant multitask like DEX. You dont have sd card slots, You dont have a real file manager or an easy way to use apks and other non apple approved formats. You cant use xbox game pass, stadia, geforce now, etc. Console level games...
I can go on and on but yes.. the chip is powerful. Hopefully you finally get a calculator app soon ...
@@jd2161 DeX is just f*cking over-rated. A glorified software skin which just supports native and Microsoft apps, what am I even supposed to do with that? SD cards?

File manager, I agree, Apks, I don't give a f*ck about, xbox game pass can also be used on iPadOS, so can stadia one safari, geforce now depends on NVIDIA.

I bought the air gen 5 256 gig because I broke my 11 inch 2018 pro and the air gen 5 fits in the same keyboard folio that my 2018 pro had. It was $807 out the door and the new pro 11 inch with the same storage amount plus the new keyboard folio I would have had to buy would have been around $1150. BTW I love the Blue color I got, it Puts me in a better mood just looking at it.
I totally love your T-shirts.
Like your videos but I have to disagree on this one. Getting M1 without the storage is like getting ProRes without the Thunderbolt, pointless. But iCloud doesn’t fix the issue when the iPad you start with is too small to fit one memory card’s capacity, cloud storage is slow and won’t even display raw file preview.
I have to agree if photo or video is something you’re going to use it a lot for. I use 64gb memory cards, haven’t gone all in the cloud yet but if I did I’d therefore want at least 128gb so I could dump a full memory card plus some extra and still have some wiggle room while it slowly fed the data up to the cloud. But 64gb is plenty for a lot of people. Apple I feel still wants you and I to look at the Pros
Question: if you have a Macbook Pro, but only have the money for an iPad pro or an iPhone, which of the two would you go for to make the best possible ecosystem for productivity? I already have a Samsung S10 and a standard iPad that is reaching the end of its life, and I don't know what to go for.
what did u go for?
So ipad air 5 vs iPad mini 6, which one will be better for regular days, because I just bought an iPad mini 6, thinking should I go exchange an iPad air 5 in 15 days….
I just got the air 4 just to extend the display to the m1 max 16 inch MacBook Pro that broke the bank.
Planning to switch to ipad from my old laptop, should i do it?gonna use it in college
I just bought a iPad Mini. Would it be better to get the new air or just keep the mini. I like the size of the mini. That’s why I decided to get that, but they just updated the air out of nowhere. Opinions?
1st things about ipads: choose your form factor. You have mini, "normal" (gen 9, air, 11" pro, and 12.9". Well, as you can see, you really on have to choose between different models if your prefer the mid size. If you prefer the smaller one there's only one (amazing) option. Personally I don't really like the mini form factor, but if you like it I you shouldn't regret your purchase!
I just sold my mini 6 and ordered the new air 5 haha. I found the mini’s screen too small. Not much bigger than my iPhone 13 pro max!
Too bad cloud storage doesn’t help you with games which a lot of big ones have 8+ gigs each at this point.
I’m so lucky to have skipped iPad Mini 6. Now I can use the money I saved for this iPad
