@@wongtongthongbongI hope so! I’m especially excited about the new ipad pencil pro, I like to draw and write on my ipad; and having to charge the 1st gen pencil is really annoying
thanks for uncluttering my mind , perfectly said ipad air 2024 is best VFM compared with ipad pro 2024 , pro is a over kill...ipad air with new pencil pro support and new features same as ipad pro is great...for OLED and PRO MOTION need not to choose pro models...i am choosing ipad air 128 gb i have a laptop 128 gb is enough for me
I preordered my Air M2, I was planning on getting an Air last year or the year before but couldn’t justify the price with so little storage and missing features. This year, the Air is essentially last gen’s Pro lineup just toned down a bit. Love the higher storage and landscape camera.
Absolutely.. this really is gong to be the year of the iPad Air when it comes to tablets .. Apple increasing the price on iPad Pros significantly is going to make a huge difference!
Making them any thinner will leave no room for you to hold the iPad! As it is, it’s almost impossible to keep your fingers off the screen! Thanks to accidental finger rejection tech, that those touches don’t get registered!
Raav, do you think there is a big difference between the 120hz display on the ipad pro's versus the 60hz on the Air, if your into note taking and such 🤔 The 60hz is the only "issue" that withholds me from going with the new Air M2.
For things like note taking or watching content, it doesn’t make a huge difference! Yes, 120hz will be a bit smoother .. but iPadOS is well optimised so you really don’t notice it that much on an iPad that you do on an iPhone!
i agree with you and just received my Air with 256 gb. The pro looks like a great device but too expensive for me, especially since I would have had to buy a new Magic Keyboard. The one I have is compatible with the M2 Air. I like the new Pencil Pro, but Apple now has too many pencil models that differ in compatibility. Finally, the reason I got the new Air was for the M2 chip and what I perceive is coming in new AI features. I just felt I would be needing the extra horsepower down the road.
I just want something that doesn’t break easily, im thinking about getting the ipad 10 bc its cheaper but i saw that it breaks way too easily, Should i get this ipad??? Pls respond
Well.. it doesn’t break easily .. I mean yes, you need to use a case if you are travelling with it. I know, with the bigger size iPads you need to be bit more careful .. but with 11 inch size ones, you will be fine
Is it worth it to update from an IPad 8? It still works but i am really looking forward to having a bigger screen to use it more conveniently in school. What do you think?
iPad 10 is really good .. and quite sufficient for most things you need at school.. however, if you can stretch your budget, with the iPad Air, you get a far superior processor and double the RAM which means, the iPad is gong to last longer!
Never owned an iPad before and debating whether or not to buy this iPad Air or just not buy one at all. I’ve been considering on buying one for a while just for regular use, but the question is if I really NEED it, which I don’t. Probably just for the sake of having it.
@@rakeshgupta8 I did, but then I returned it the next day. It might just be worth waiting for the 11th gen iPad since it’s due for an upgrade this year or next year
@@rakeshgupta8 no, this is the iPad Air 6th Gen (11/13-inch). Eventually they’ll release the regular iPad 11th Gen. in 2022, they released the 10th gen
Everything is the same besides Promotion. M2 iPad Pro supports 120Hz refresh rate whereas both the m1 and m2 iPad Air models support the standard 60Hz refresh rate!
Hmm .. Mini 3 .. I bet the software support and even some Apps support must have stopped on that iPad! If you want a bigger screen iPad, you can go for the iPad 10th generation! That model has got an amazing discounted price and it will be powerful enough for all your tasks! If you can extend your budget a bit, then you will not go wrong with the M2 iPad Air. The M2 processor is very powerful and the iPad Air will last you a very long time time 😊
I’m planning to buy and I too thought iPad Air 11” is best for me. I’m buying to play Call of Duty mobile game and for editing videos. I’m just wondering since this has 60HZ refresh rate, should I buy this or 120HZ pro ? Does refresh rate matter in gaming ? What do you think ?
Now that you mention it, it makes me curious too about the frame rate for gaming because I doubt the games run at more than 60 FPS even if you get promotion.
You can choose higher frame rate setting on COD to get that smoother gameplay! 120Hz does help in gaming, epically those that support it … but are you willing to fork out 1000$ for it?? Coz for that money, you can get an iPad Air M2 as well as a full blow PlayStation 5 as well 😊
@@FRISS54 I heard that there’s a PC version of COD mobile, but never tried it. Thought of buying M2 iPad Air and play on it. I’m already playing the game since 2.5 years, but I use only 2 fingers to play. Just wanted to play on iPad to improve my gameplay. I heard iPhone 14 plus or iPhone 15 which is not a pro has 60HZ and can handle the game easily. Need to find out more and decide.
@@JasonLewis42 yes but people play on iPhones which are not pro iPhones and has 60Hz refresh rate. Heard it can handle the game, but have to find out more about it.
Is this the latest iPad Air ? I went to the store at Apple Orchard the guy was telling me entire world no one has it except Tim Cook right now and refuses to explain the features of the different iPads to me 🙃 I guess this person here is Tim Cook 🤷🏻♀️
Hey there! I have a question, for uni. and watching movie-shows yt etc. Which one should i buy; ipad air m2 11" or ipad pro m2 11" (all of them with pencil tho) ? In my country the ipad pro m2 11" is 5k more than new ipad air so which one is better for long term? New ipad is 2 years younger and it will be get more updated that's the two reason im stuck with it: m2 pro price and update stuff... 🤷🏻♀️
I love this iPad. I just upgraded from my iPad Gen 6 (yes, I know), but I’m in love. I have the 11 inch one which is all I need. I didn’t want the 13 inch because I already have my MacBook Air 15 inch for a bigger size. But overall, I’m satisfied enough.
Thanks for your insight. I am more inclined into buying the iPad Air 13" because I also read that it offers a better bass boost performance through its landscape speakers. Too bad it only comes with 2 speakers as opposed to 4 for the iPad Pro. It would be nice to offer us your opinion as to its audio performance. Also, I would appreciate any feedback with regard to its new keyboard. Cheers again.
Is the air 2024 enough for media consumption Netflix, RUclips and music that’s all I want it for? I know the pro ha anti glare I think for outdoors this iPad Air doesn’t have it but it’s no biggie
Even the Air has anti glare coating but you will still see glare .. especially if you apply screen protector! Coming to 12.9 inch iPad .. you do get a more immersive viewing experience especially when watching films but it is expensive and needs to be handled with a bit more care! I compared both the big and small sizes in my old iPad Pro videos .. you can check that and see if it helps!
I have not been owning any laptop and iPad before and I am thinking on using it on stock trading and note taking or other literature review, but seems refresh rate and OLED screen does not worth a few more hundred bucks..... Any suggestion please?
Nope, it’s certainly not worth the extra 400$!! I am going to get the OLED screen pro and compare it with the standard Pro and even the iPad Air later this week.. so you can check my channel for these updates! Coming to refresh rate, iPadOS as is very smooth unlike other tablet operating systems .. so unless you are a digital artist, you don’t really gain much with promotion!
Lots of people are asking about Pro Motion and OLED screen… I currently have all these iPad versions and in day to day usage .. it doesn’t make that huge difference.. I will make a video soon about it! 😊
No not me. I'll buy the Ipad Pro M2. You can now get the Ipad Pro M2 at the same price of Air M2. It has promotion, quad speakers and USB C Thurderbolt.
Nice choice.. but you need to get it quick .. since they are discontinued, even resellers will run out of stock! Also, due to that huge price increase on the M4 iPad Pros, the M2 models here in the UK, haven’t gone down in price that much!
@@Askiaban don’t think the software support will be any less on the M2 iPad Pro compared to M2 iPad Air because the processor configuration is exactly the same!
@@gian.zagada702 It depends, what's the use you will give the iPad? If it's just for watching YT and Netflix and talking notes, and planning and all of that go to the 11". If you want to draw and do some work in it (with the M2 chip it's capable of video and image editing, and Excel and all of that), buy the 13". I think it's a shame it only has a 60Hz refresh rate, like it's not even 90Hz. My 170€ Xiaomi had 90Hz. This is insane. The iPad Air could have at least 90Hz. 60Hz ruins the experience.
iPad Air has got only 60Hz displays but still .. iPadOS is pretty smooth and you don’t notice this soo much as you do on a phone! I have both and honestly, it’s really not that big of a deal!
60Hz is perfectly fine for note taking. I am working on a video where I will compare both 60Hz and 120Hz along with OLED and LCD screens as well .. will post it very soon 😊
the air m2 doesn’t worth 600$ , and it’s a scam. The pro m2 is now 700$ from original 800$, what you get extra? 120 hz, 2 camera, Lidar , 4 speakers , fast usb c …. All this worth much more than 100$
I don't see the purpose of the new Air. The iPad 10th is the best bang for the buck and does all most users need and there is the new Pro with a nice OLED display for people who want to spend more to have a very nice display. The Air isn't really air anymore compared to the new Pro and they may even discontinue this line later on.
Well… fair point .. but if you look at it this way .. M series chips are more powerful and will last longer .. more importantly, if you followed iPads from the beginning, more RAM always equates to more years of software support! iPad Air has twice the RAM of iPad 10.. you then get Pro Apple Pencil support, stage manager support, and a better Magic Keyboard support .. and then double storage. All these do add value .. but again, for content consumption, I feel iPad 10 is the best option!
I hope not because I love the air series. It has better power and everything than the base models and cost less than the pros. Does an average user need the pro models? Not really. I think the air with its powerful features are the best bang for the buck.
I agree. The 12.9” iPad Air is the way for 85% of people to go. Plus it works with our existing Magic Keyboards. I do admit though that the new iPad Pro set up is pretty cool and slick, and if I end up with the budget to get it and the Keyboard, I would.
