Heres what i got from this video, the pro is a chonky beat of a tablet, the ipad air is a good and reliable ipad for everyday use, and the ipad 8 is ipad on a budget
This is by far the best video for Ipad comparison. After watching almost 15-20 videos, I randomly opened this one and I am very happy with the content and info provided. Fantastic video sir! Subscribed!
I just bought an iPad 8 yesterday. It’s definitely the best value and it doesn’t feel like it’s missing anything important. I have to give Apple credit for keeping the price to a reasonable level.
For me it's missing better speakers/display/more storage. I think for 329 they could've upgraded more than just the processor... If they upgraded the processor and did any of the three things I listed I might've even upgraded from my iPad 6
Sinus Lebastian well compared to the iPad 6 it has a larger screen and the Smart Keyboard connector. But it’s definitely a good value at 329 or 299 for education customers.
Thank you for this honest review. Many others seem to be biased, only advertising the 12.9" Pro for note taking, etc.. Not taking into account that especially students do not always need the additional screen space, but a device on which they can read and write on.
This is really why I love your content Rene. You are the only tech reviewer that actually engages in a nuanced discussion and gets that the regular A14 isn't more powerful than the A12z ! Legit it was so irritating to keep hearing people say this without acknowledging the difference in ram and core counts. Keep up the great work !
I had the iPad Air 2 then I bought the 128GB 2020 11" iPad Pro when it came out in March. I'm not unhappy with my choice; I'd still do it! Why not the Air 4? For the same reason I chose the Pro in March, 128GB! For me, 128GB is the sweet spot for pricing vs my needs; 64GB is too little, a non-starter. I kept looking at the Air3 but the old design and the price for the additional storage turned me off... I held out as long as I could. Now that the Air 4 still had the 256GB upsell problem for me. So, I'd still got for the Pro. It's an easy choice for me.
Quite disappointed with the price of new Air. If it was the same as Air 3, I’d surely buy it. But considering the difference in storage, lack of certain features, and the fact that you get AirPods with an iPad pro in Back to school program, the Air is not such a good offer. Still confused what to buy...
Same, and tbh I’m not really as scared that mine won’t be nearly as good as the 2021 because the hardware is already overkill, all it needs is software tweaks
I've just bought the ipad pro 128gb and im still hesitating if I should return it and buy the ipad air 4 256gb... I'm in med school so i will use it just for note taking, lectures, lots of books and pdfs... Should i stay with the pro 128gb (is enough?) or should I buy the Ipad air 4 256 gb?? The only thing that concerns me is the storage. Is 128gb enough for just medical school stuff or do I need more than that??
Just the video I was waiting for! It’s hard to fully understand these devices without seeing them context of one another. And who better to give us that context than Rene?
iPad 8 is great for that, I have an iPad 6 and even though all these new and better iPads and even Samsung tablets are very tempting, it still does everything I want to do, and at a reasonable speed.
Consider getting the 2018 iPad pro instead. It has a better 120Hz display, face id, and still a very powerful processor (you won't notice the difference between the a12x and a14). And you can get it for $50-$100 cheaper. Try getting it on Apple refurbished (basically a new iPad without the same fancy box). Hope this helps
Guys I need a suggestion. I’m considering upgrading to an iPad. This would be my first ever as I’m upgrading from a kindle fire tablet. I’ve been using a kindle since 2002. I mainly use the tablet to play games not video games but simple ones. Browse the web, do online shopping, watch RUclips and stream Hulu, Netflix and Prime movies and occasionally blog. I do have a 128GB iPhone but it’s not even halfway full. Anything below that I find that would fill up too quickly. I have been doing my comparisons and listening to videos like this but to be honest it’s like speaking a foreign language that’s not familiar to me. Right now I don’t know if I should go with a 64gb or 256gb iPad Air or a 32gb or 128gb iPad. I know there’s a big difference when it comes to the price tag. And this is something that I plan to have for several years before upgrading. Which one would you recommend?
You know, any iPad will work, i remember when I want one back then. a iPad 8th generation will do, just get with 128gb, and your set. Best tablet on the market, you won't regret it. If you want a nicer iPad get a iPad Air with a better display, and get one with 256gb, so your iPad last you a while. Up to you if you want cellular. But that's my advice.
8th gen. Will be good for 5 years. Then get another lower cost one. If you got any of the others, you would still have it for the same amount of time but paid way more. Your not a power user and that’s ok.
This is crazy. When I read your post I was thinking yes, that’s me. All of it! Except I have an iPad 2 air 32gb for 5 years. Ready to upgrade. I want a pencil, so am I hearing I’ll need an air for the better pencil? 32gb sucks. I have to keep deleting photos.
What I discovered recently is battery life really depends on how bright the screen setting is set to. By lowering brightness to below 50% made a huge difference. It is still way bright enough for me.
No, really different ways of charging. I have a Pencil 1 for first gen Ipad. Pro 12.9 (that I use now with Ipad Mini 5) and Pencil 2 for 2018 Ipad Pro 12.9.
I don't really care about the memory since I'll be using it mainly for school note taking. Ive tried looking for a refurbished 2018 iPad pro and they're still more expensive than the air. And I think there's no audio jack which I use a lot
256gb ipad air is too expensive, i will pick 128gb ipad pro, just $50 you can got better speakers, better performance,120hz refresh rate, camera, it’s worth to paid more $50
Yes, I am able to use those in my 2019 air. Photoshop gets slower though for large photos. Might not be the case with the air 4 anymore, given the 2 gen chip jump.
I am looking at getting an iPad exclusively for note-taking during my college lectures without trying to break my bank. Since all classes are zoom I cannot write on my hp laptop anymore, would the ipad 8 be the best bang for my buck for note taking?
I know that there are a whole of features added to update the ipad air but with it starting at $600 I think is is too expensive and the 11inch pro is a better deal. Especially if you need more than 64gb. With the back to school deal, you get $50 dollars off the pro ipad plus airpods. At 256gb the price difference is only 100 (with the education discount).
I've just bought the ipad pro 128gb and im still hesitating if I should return it and buy the ipad air 4 256gb...

I’m on the fence between iPad pro and the new Air. This is one of the vest videos I’ve watched. Thank you very much for breaking it down in understandable terms. Your video is the best!!!!
Thank you for such an in-depth, concise, well organized comparison. I have had my iPad Air 2 128 gb for six years now and it’s still going strong despite not being able to update anymore. This amazing tablet sold me on Apple products for good! That being said, I want to upgrade and have waited for the new launch to decide and am so glad I did! Your review made me certain that the new iPad Air in 256 gb is the perfect choice for me. I have wanted to get ProCreate for about a year now with the second generation iPencil. The iPad Pro, although absolutely amazing and tempting, seemed like overkill, not to mention the out of my budget price. Thank you so much for the clarity your comparison gave me. I can’t believe after such a great video, many of your comments were about a minuscule screen size misquote. Then again, I’m an artist not a techie...lol

@@Nora-ho2qi I'm a med student as well (Germany). For my lecture stuff (all PDFs) I use a laptop and store everything in Dropbox. Therfore I know how much storage it is: My PDFs from the last 5 years all fit within 10 GB. So you really should be fine with 128 GB in my opinion. But I don't have eBooks though. You should be finde sticking with it. And in the future, there will always be a better buy and the option to sell your current Pro or give it to family.
Best video on this topic across the length and breath of RUclips and internet. I have listened to at least 10 of such so I know what I am talking about. Well done Rene. 👍🏼
So glad I held off on buying the 11” pro. I would have liked to have ProMotion, but aside from that there’s nothing I will really miss in the iPad Air.
Robert Holmes true. Also I prefer the bigger size it feels more like a computer and something you would use to get productive, while the small size feels like a big phone so when you use it I feel like it’s something you would use to play games and things. But I’m not saying you can’t be productive with the iPad 11 inch I’m saying what I think.
I guess that depends on ur needs If u r happy with the A12 and the conventional design then I don't see a need But If u really are into the new design the processor and colours then I guess u could get it
Great video. Since you mentioned USB-C, I would love it if you would do a deep dive into USB-C, especially the dirty secret that is holding it back: you can effectively only have one USB-C device per port. All other devices need to be USB-A. If we are going to transition everything to USB-C, we need hubs that allow multiple devices to plug into a single port, which is just not a thing right now.
I found a few with a data USBc port but they are large. I use a Uni 8 in 1 that is quite small but only has a USBc power port-the others are USBa which works for me right now since all but one of my externals are USBa-but gradually moving to all USBc.
@@TheAwEsOmERaGhAv pro motion dosent mean 120hz it means a variable refresh rate so on ipad pro for example it will be 24hz for movies and saving battery
I was going to get the 32GB iPad 8 during BF but I keep hearing it's not enough to stream Netflix. All I want for is to stream on the plane, browse the internet, and possibly take notes. How many movies will this fit?
TKO593 probably not even, iPad Pros don’t get yearly upgrades, they are a 18 month upgrade cycle which means a new iPad Pro not likely until like March of 2022 and will likely release with a new A15X or A15Z chip There probably won’t be like a A14X chip, just like there wasn’t ever a A13X chip either
@@bryanmiller476 but The ipad Air 4 now has a better chipset than the ipad pro ...isn't that gonna cannibalize the sales of the PRO....so I figured apple would update their PRO again early next year or this year ......is my speculation a long shot 😅

I’m in the sweet spot, iPad mini 5 with 64gb storage. Thumb typing over keyboard given the size. Processor is on point, price was perfect and storage is sufficient. Great video though, of all apple centric tech bloggers, your information seems the most researched and genuine.
Was exactly waiting for this kind of video! I have an opurtunity of my provider to buy at 499 a iPad pro 2020 or a iPhone 11 pro 64gb. Which one would you choose? I am a android user but I am planing to switch to apple.
I dont own an iPad but I want to get one , should I buy the iPad Pro 2020 or wait for the next one as there are some quite rumours about it , please help !
The Air is the sweet spot for me, even with its price increase this year. The Pro is nice, but I think it's overkill for my needs.
Actually with that money u can purchase ipad pro 2018 with A12x still have equal power compared to ipad air but u have face id, 120hz screen,..

The Air is the perfect option, I think. Best in terms of costs and what you get for it. They upped their game on this one.

The iPad Pro, although absolutely amazing and tempting, seemed like overkill, not to mention the out of my budget price. Thank you so much for the clarity your comparison gave me. I can’t believe after such a great video, many of your comments were about a minuscule screen size misquote. Then again, I’m an artist not a techie...lol
Jody Malone You can Update the Air 2 to iPad OS 14. But it‘s got a reduced feature-set. Still considering upgrading from my Air 2 to the 4.
TXY 007 Thank you for that info! Still looking to upgrade also but keeping this workhorse for some applications so your tip is helpful!
Jody Malone You‘re welcome! I will also keeping my Air 2 as a secondary device then. It might be the best tech product I ever bought so far.
I've just bought the ipad pro 128gb and im still hesitating if I should return it and buy the ipad air 4 256gb... I'm in med school so i will use it just for note taking, lectures, lots of books and pdfs... Should i stay with the pro 128gb (is enough?) or should I buy the Ipad air 4 256 gb??
The only thing that concerns me is the storage. Is 128gb enough for just medical school stuff or do I need more than that??
@@Nora-ho2qi I'm a med student as well (Germany). For my lecture stuff (all PDFs) I use a laptop and store everything in Dropbox. Therfore I know how much storage it is: My PDFs from the last 5 years all fit within 10 GB. So you really should be fine with 128 GB in my opinion. But I don't have eBooks though. You should be finde sticking with it. And in the future, there will always be a better buy and the option to sell your current Pro or give it to family.
I have to ask for educational purposes is the iPad air better or the pro? I kinda really need to know!!!
Hi Rene ,Which iPad Pro screen size would you recommend ? Thanks
Ofcourse the 11 inch is best .
Best video on this topic across the length and breath of RUclips and internet. I have listened to at least 10 of such so I know what I am talking about. Well done Rene. 👍🏼
I never used an ipad. I am looking to buy one. I will also probably need a laptop 3 yrs from now..which one should I buy now?
So glad I held off on buying the 11” pro. I would have liked to have ProMotion, but aside from that there’s nothing I will really miss in the iPad Air.
Go try it, When I turn off pro motion on the Ipad, it looks bad
New iPad Pros incoming shortly?
if i buy the ipad 4 with cellular , can i get good quality phone calls as i get with iphone 11? please reply
Any idea is to when the ipad pro with a14x is gonna drop?
On an iPad 8th gen, is it worth paying for 128g version? 🤔
Nice review, well laid out and informative. Thanks
Great video. I ordered my new Air 4 and subscribed. You made it simple and clear.
I will keep my 2020 12.9 inch iPad Pro, that is the one to get.
Robert Holmes true. Also I prefer the bigger size it feels more like a computer and something you would use to get productive, while the small size feels like a big phone so when you use it I feel like it’s something you would use to play games and things. But I’m not saying you can’t be productive with the iPad 11 inch I’m saying what I think.
If money is not an issue, then yeah but that's why he goes over the cost/benefit because it is for most people.
0:26 10.8 inch
I have the iPad Air 3, is it worth it to upgrade to the 4th one?
I guess that depends on ur needs
If u r happy with the A12 and the conventional design then I don't see a need
But
If u really are into the new design the processor and colours then I guess u could get it
Hey! Would you suggest 64 GB iPad Air 4? My primary requirement is note taking. It is going to be strictly for education purpose and may be, Netflix.
at 1:47 u showed that air is 10.8 inch but it is 10.9 inch and also
u showed; ipad 8 is 10.5 inch but its 10.2
Ipad air is 10.9 inch display 😊
Yes, he made a mistake.
Where the heck is ipad mini? Are they gonna release it this year.?
U can get 2 iPad 8s with the price of the air.
Just get the pro. The name says it all.
Easier said than done for others
Yup. Name says it all, it's for pros. If you're not one, it's probably overkill and not worth the extra cash.
Always enjoy your reviews!
Great video. Since you mentioned USB-C, I would love it if you would do a deep dive into USB-C, especially the dirty secret that is holding it back: you can effectively only have one USB-C device per port. All other devices need to be USB-A. If we are going to transition everything to USB-C, we need hubs that allow multiple devices to plug into a single port, which is just not a thing right now.
I found a few with a data USBc port but they are large. I use a Uni 8 in 1 that is quite small but only has a USBc power port-the others are USBa which works for me right now since all but one of my externals are USBa-but gradually moving to all USBc.
Thanks, Rene. This I was a very helpful video
Best comparison I have found so far. Thank you for helping me make the best decision for me.
Great video. A 'nit' - At the top of the video - Choosing 'among' them, not 'between' them.
Amazingly detailed video Rene, love your work, keep it up!!!
When will new ipad pro launch..?.?.?.
I just wished they laminated the screen on the iPad 8 but the video is great! Just subscribed!
5:43 I would choose password or pin code.
Will there be a M1 ipad air?
Rene ... Excellent and informative video thank you! So underrated.
I wanted pro motion on iPad Air 4😞
Yeah 60hz pro motion would be pretty cool but they wanted more ways to keep the ipad pro selling
Anthony Plays what is 60hz promotion bruh
@@TheAwEsOmERaGhAv pro motion dosent mean 120hz it means a variable refresh rate so on ipad pro for example it will be 24hz for movies and saving battery
Anthony Plays 60 to 24 doesnt make much of difference when compared to 120 to 24
@@TheAwEsOmERaGhAv true
Can iPad air handle non 3D video editing?
Good enough?
Love this slower, more like actually having a conversation with you style :)
I hated it I immediately put it on 1.75x speed lol
I was going to get the 32GB iPad 8 during BF but I keep hearing it's not enough to stream Netflix. All I want for is to stream on the plane, browse the internet, and possibly take notes. How many movies will this fit?
When do you think the A14x ipad pro is gonna drop ....
Late 2021
TKO593 probably not even, iPad Pros don’t get yearly upgrades, they are a 18 month upgrade cycle which means a new iPad Pro not likely until like March of 2022 and will likely release with a new A15X or A15Z chip
There probably won’t be like a A14X chip, just like there wasn’t ever a A13X chip either
@@bryanmiller476 but The ipad Air 4 now has a better chipset than the ipad pro ...isn't that gonna cannibalize the sales of the PRO....so I figured apple would update their PRO again early next year or this year ......is my speculation a long shot 😅
@@bryanmiller476 but they didnt put am A13 chip in the new air instead they put the new A14 which makes it seem like apples doing the same thing they did with the A11 chip so a new one will probably come out in 2021
Can I upgrade my old iPad to a new iPad by Apple Officially?
@Ken88 at my local Apple store?
I’m in the sweet spot, iPad mini 5 with 64gb storage. Thumb typing over keyboard given the size. Processor is on point, price was perfect and storage is sufficient. Great video though, of all apple centric tech bloggers, your information seems the most researched and genuine.
Was exactly waiting for this kind of video!
I have an opurtunity of my provider to buy at 499 a iPad pro 2020 or a iPhone 11 pro 64gb.
Which one would you choose?
I am a android user but I am planing to switch to apple.
iPad pro 2020!
The iPad Pro is a much better choice A12Z is more than enough.
I dont own an iPad but I want to get one , should I buy the iPad Pro 2020 or wait for the next one as there are some quite rumours about it , please help !
Ken88 when do you think it’ll be coming out ,, as I plan on using the student discount which I think ends on the 12 of October
@@InSaNeZiX March probably
Dr. Death by that time the student discount will be over :(
Really digging the transitions 👌🏻
5G support for ipad/air/pro?
Excellent breakdown! 👊
