Just got mine in the mail today. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxhcEDB3r-OJ3_X5hQzr7k1ZofTQy1ao_U The corners of the box was a little smashed but I think that’s more of the shipping’s fault. iPad was in perfect condition though. I ordered the yellow one thinking it was going to be a bright vibrant color. Instead I looks like more of a Gold color. I personally prefer the gold look. Definitely not disappointed but just a heads up to the ones expecting a brighter cream of yellow.
Ace Moron, Adonit Pixel works just fine on air 2 get your propoganda out of here. You just personally prefer apple pencil. I've used both and I find little-to-no difference...
I like your feature video but at the same time he forgot one major point as well if I got to talk about the front facing iSight camera also getting an upgrade from 1.2 megapixels to five megapixels there are people that do use that camera and I believe that was an important feature you should've included in your video when judging the two otherwise it was very good material
Great video on two amazing products! I'm now off to get me a new iPad Pro 9.7" as this comparison has convinced me to get the superior product! also subbed!
Very good video highlighting all the major points. If you don't mind me asking ... What is the name of the documentary, video clips of which you were playing?
The Pro is great for audio purposes if you want many music apps connected through Audiobus, a DAW, or similar apps without risk of stuttering or extra latency, which is crucial for recording.
Bought the Air 2 a month ago, loaded Real Racing 3 (I use that as a benchmark) and decided that it wasn't running as smoothly as I liked so went to the Apple store the next day and exchanged for the iPad Pro 9.7 The difference in that game is very noticeable and as an added benefit, it runs the Apple Pencil which I got that same day. Love it and I highly recommended the Pro for power users.
I did get Procreate ($5.99) and couldn't be any happier. I had a chance to take a graphics class as the Apple store and the gal strongly recommended Procreate as it works really well with the pencil. I've been constantly sketching since getting this combo. Also, Garageband is awesome and runs so well. You won't regret it. Cheers and HNY!
I dont like how you describes the ipad air 2 as mediocre, it is better than almost all the samsung tablet out there and it can handle without a problem 99% apps of rhe appstore for just 399, how cares about that pencil for 100dlls or stupid keyboard that nobody uses, for 50dll any one can get a keyboard and stylus for same use.
+sakitech still it's only one year and 5 months, roughly one year and half, 7 months away from two years. in your theory, 7 months can also be counted as one year, lol
+sakitech Well I know what you mean. I know it is a very minor thing to notice, but I think it is an exaggeration still. Anyway, you made a great video, and I appreciate your work - keep it up! Have a great day :-)
+BMAN4667 Buddy, get the Air 2 if your truly want an iPad. It also starts at $399, like the mini 4, but it is faster for both CPU and GPU tasks. We're talking about an A8 chip in the mini 4 versus the A8X in the Air 2.
I am a creative professional and this iPad pro or the bigger one DO NOT run the professional apps which I would like to use on the go like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and XD. The only considerable difference in both is the pencil. On the other hand, Microsoft Surface 3, Surface 3 pro and Surface pro 4 can handle ALL the professional desktop apps while still being a tablet. So the surface 3, which doesn't even have the name 'Pro' attached to it, is actually way too 'Pro' when compared to any of the iPad Pros.
SD expansion on android is a limited feature, so I don't get why people make a big deal of it and say how the iPad lacks it etc.. Sure you can use it for media files, but there's also alternatives for expansion for Apple devices too..
+Adam 9812 Yeah, I am using iPad 2 and it's getting slow and battery life is terrible compared to my IPhone 6s... But I just can't justify buying the iPad Pro I don't think... iPad Air 2 is still way good enough for like 200 dollar cheaper!
True but I want a device that will be fast enough for a long time. Right now it seems the devices last 5 years before they are too slow and the air 2 is 2 years old.
Good point, I am not criticizing if anyone wants an iPad Air as opposed to the pro, it was just my choice, it was actually pretty hard to choose between air and pro.
Thanks for all of your information about Apple Ipad pro. I have a MacBook Air and I am a students and all of my textbooks will be ebooks and I wanted something smaller to take to class. Your videos have help a great deal. I really wished that Apple would have given 64gig instead of 32 but it is what it is.Great job
Having an ipad mini 2 or an air or any older one(not older than ipad 3rd generation) is more than good enough and you can get one for a much better price. I have a mini 2 and works well for high demanding tasks. People nowadays are just obsessed with getting the very latest model.
Simply put, get the air 2 if you primarily stream movies or RUclips and do Facebook type stuff on a tablet. Go for the Pro if you see yourself using a tablet for note taking and illustrations/drawing as the pencil/stylus works great. Both models can be easily "sniped" on eBay at a much cheaper price used.
Thanks for this nice video. I have something to ask and I hope you to answer; does the apple pencil work as stylus as that with samsung mobiles like note series? Or it is used only in drawing? My best regards.
Im a little bit on a budget i have enough for the ipad pro but with 32 gb's i don't know if that's enough or ik can buy the air 2 with 128 gb's??? Which one??
RICKY SEKHON Defiantly iPad Mini 4. The iPad Pro is used like a computer and heavy gaming while iPad Mini 4 is much cheaper and I honestly think the iPad Mini 4 would be a better choice. Unless maybe money isn't an issue.
Exremely thorough comparisons. You showed no bias; just facts. As a person with a vision problem the light adjustment capabilities of the Pro is a plus. I have the original iPad which i still use but of course has no expansion capabilities. I have the smaller iPad which is running out of room. I will probably get the Pro because of the light adjustment capabilities. I will give the pen some thought but it is nice to know i can buy it at a later date. Many thanks for this review!
Umm I'd like to comment on what you said about the iPad Air 2's "mediocre" camera. It's actually really good. I've takes some fantastic pictures on it. It defiantly isn't as good as what's offered on the Pro, but it's up there.
Apple are wonderful, the Apple products are simply the best in the world, they cannot be beaten on overall quality, reliability, and value for money 🤓( Apple employee)
I THINK FOR MOST THE AIR 2 WOULD BE FINE, THE PRO IS DECENT IF YOU WANNA USE THE PEN ETC BUT FOR ME THE THE AIR 2..........EVEN NOW IS STILL ONE OF THE BEST TABLETS AROUND
I was thinking of exchanging my 16gb space gray iPad Air 2 for the new 9.7" one but I think I'll just wait for the next one or maybe even the one after that and get a 64gb one :D I love my air 2 tho it's still great :D
Nice comparison, though only thing I picked up was 17 months differences in technology is less than 1.5 years but you made it sound longer by saying its "close to a 2 year gap". Personally I don't think 7 months isn't a close enough gap to state something as almost 2 years instead of 17 months.
Thanks alot for such great review, anyway I still cant decide which one to buy, air 2 is device which is almost 2y old and I wonder if still gonna be that good in next 3-4 years,I heard some rumors saying they gonna increase ram to 3gb on ipad pro 9.7
hello; what i want to know is how will ipad air 2 stand in 3 years from now? does it worth paying 200$more for to buy ipad Pro 9.7 than ipad air 2? its going to be my first tablet and thank you for your reply.
I've got the same question: my 16 gig iPad 2, bought only 4 years ago, is nearly obsolete now, unable to deal with some sites no matter which browser I try. Lots of crashes. I'd buy the air 2 since I do little but watch and read, but will it too be almost unusable in 4 years or less? I may have to splurge and buy the pro just to ensure a longer useful life even though most of the best features will be wasted on me.
I ordered ipad air 2 Yesterday. Im buying this tablet for reading and watching videos. And i think air 2 will be still good after 2-3years for My Needs. Im going to spend that 200$ for cases and keyboard. The performance difference between air 2 and Pro 9.7 doesnt worth the 200$ imo.
+Gaming Nerd Theres the June conference which will unveil new products, iPad Air may get a refresh but its unlikely since they released the smaller iPad Pro. They might decrease the prices though.
Why are you showing the video on both iPads when one has lower brightness? After that you showed the brightness and one was lower than the other. In terms of color I can see a small difference in color but not by much.
No, the pro IS faster to unlock,because of the higher clock speed.think of it this way; my Ford Focus has the same tires as your Ford Taurus, so they must be the same speed,right? The speed is being determined by the chipset, not the sensor. I have been very happy with my air 2, but a combination of dropping it and causing the screen to lose some backlights, and my advancing age (64) means my replacement will be a 12 inch pro.

"The Apple Pencil is a $100 accessory"
You know what else is good?
Paper
Ace you sound like you are an advertiser from Apple bro 😂
Manic Gaming 😂😂😂😂
"Apple Paper is a $600 accessory. Needed to use the Apple Pencil"

agree
Great video on two amazing products! I'm now off to get me a new iPad Pro 9.7" as this comparison has convinced me to get the superior product! also subbed!
Thanks for the great review, I have made up my mind and will definitely go for the iPad Pro as I am an amateur photographer.
Very good video highlighting all the major points.
If you don't mind me asking ... What is the name of the documentary, video clips of which you were playing?
This was the most explanatory video ever I came across regarding iPad comparisons...thumbs up!!!
Great video. Although I wish you had done a speaker test for both iPads. Just saying.
Nick Williams j
Thanx for the video bro! I've been waiting for a comparison of the Air 2 and iPad pro 9.7 inch. Definitely sharing the video.
9.7 pro and iphone SE : 2 gig ram!!!! and 12 megapixel camera.
I cant understand why better camera has priority over more ram in a tablet!!
This speaker demonstrates phenomenal expertise in technology. Totally amazing!
Thanks for addressing the issues that are important to those who are not sure which device is best for them.
I have the air 2 with 128gb, if I change it I would go for sure with the pro 12.9
Hands down the most helpful vid i have found. Thanks sakitech.
Sakitech, you have the best intro ever! I love it! Anyways I bought the Apple ipad released 2017 so yeah but nice vid!
The quality of your videos are awesome. 😳👍🏻
The Pro is great for audio purposes if you want many music apps connected through Audiobus, a DAW, or similar apps without risk of stuttering or extra latency, which is crucial for recording.
Awesome comparison and most helpful~!
10:05 I'd really love to see a review of this iPad Air Pro
Bought the Air 2 a month ago, loaded Real Racing 3 (I use that as a benchmark) and decided that it wasn't running as smoothly as I liked so went to the Apple store the next day and exchanged for the iPad Pro 9.7

@ツBubblez no shit how would he know how good it is
Great comparison! You saved me from needlessly buying a iPad Pro.my Air2 is still great!
Best comparison on RUclips, thank you!
18 months is not close to a two year gap. Half a years difference is a lot in tech
+Asger Petersen Not as much as you think. Don't get over excited by the hype of tech growth.
+sakitech still it's only one year and 5 months, roughly one year and half, 7 months away from two years. in your theory, 7 months can also be counted as one year, lol
+sakitech Well I know what you mean. I know it is a very minor thing to notice, but I think it is an exaggeration still. Anyway, you made a great video, and I appreciate your work - keep it up! Have a great day :-)
yeah 1,5years differend and still the same dull ios for pro ipads. not upgrading my air2. apple always needs 3 years to change something.
Thank you for reviewing the iPad as an iPad not comparing it to a laptop!
are those three dots necessary to be able to use a keyboard?
and is 32 gb enough for taking notes at school?
At 10:46 you had the prices the wrong way around xD
+Cameron Bell Nice catch. But I was saved since they look exactly alike.
+sakitech Is The iPad mini 4 still worth it after ipad pro 9.7 release plz answer me l
+BMAN4667 Buddy, get the Air 2 if your truly want an iPad. It also starts at $399, like the mini 4, but it is faster for both CPU and GPU tasks. We're talking about an A8 chip in the mini 4 versus the A8X in the Air 2.
No problem
yes he is right he did put it the wrong way
Can you read a book or texts on the beach on the Pro better much than on the Air 2 or is the difference minimal?
This's the best review out there. Thanks
Can a iPad Pro screen protector fit on a iPad Air 2
I have that exact same iPad Air and I really need a case because it cracked and I just got it but my sister cracked it.
I am a creative professional and this iPad pro or the bigger one DO NOT run the professional apps which I would like to use on the go like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and XD. The only considerable difference in both is the pencil. On the other hand, Microsoft Surface 3, Surface 3 pro and Surface pro 4 can handle ALL the professional desktop apps while still being a tablet. So the surface 3, which doesn't even have the name 'Pro' attached to it, is actually way too 'Pro' when compared to any of the iPad Pros.
SD expansion on android is a limited feature, so I don't get why people make a big deal of it and say how the iPad lacks it etc.. Sure you can use it for media files, but there's also alternatives for expansion for Apple devices too..
nice review!! made my choice clear now....ipad air2
Awesome review, very well put together review with all aspects covered...
Thanks for a great informative video that laid out everything plain as day so even I could follow haha.
Great comparison video. I enjoyed it very much and I purchased the iPad Pro 9.7!
👍This was a awesome vid. Thanks for making it. Very well done and very informative. It helped me make my decision on the one to purchase👏🙋
As a casual user who doesn't need the pencil or keyboard I cannot sell what concrete gains I really make by upgrading from my Air 2?
The air 2 is good enough, and fast enough where you don't need to upgrade, but I'm upgrading from a regular 2, so I think I'll choose the pro :P
+Adam 9812 Yeah, I am using iPad 2 and it's getting slow and battery life is terrible compared to my IPhone 6s... But I just can't justify buying the iPad Pro I don't think... iPad Air 2 is still way good enough for like 200 dollar cheaper!
True but I want a device that will be fast enough for a long time. Right now it seems the devices last 5 years before they are too slow and the air 2 is 2 years old.
I understand but it is only 1.5yrs old. I think that Ram more than processor will be the future issue. That could of compromised on 3gb of Ram.
Good point, I am not criticizing if anyone wants an iPad Air as opposed to the pro, it was just my choice, it was actually pretty hard to choose between air and pro.
thanks for your video, really helped me out a lot !
I’m watching on iPad Air 2 😂
Iospug 87 same
Same
LOL.. Same
Iospug 87 me too
Ditto
You had the screen spec half wrong - reflectivity has increased by 40% and the color spectrum has been up 25% in Hollywood standard same as 5k IMac
+Zi jie Lim anti reflectivility
Just picked up an new Air 2 64 gb wifi/cellular for $325 off craigslist. The pro is way overpriced for what it offers. Very happy with Air 2!
Nobody here cares!
+Stirling Studios I care. You don't speak for everybody.
+Stirling Studios and nobody cares about u
+Patrick Ambrose I care about that, as I think about getting an Air 2.
Stirling Studios bet you just jealous cuz u stuck with an iPad 2
Did anyone notice the Apple Pencil move at 6:56
Yeah, lol was tripping me out...luckily it came on again to confirm it was moving!
Illuminati
Magnets were connecting to certain parts ;)
Mediocre? Really? 7:55 I'm not saying it's an exceptionally good camera. But it can still hold on its own in today's standard.
Thanks for all of your information about Apple Ipad pro. I have a MacBook Air and I am a students and all of my textbooks will be ebooks and I wanted something smaller to take to class. Your videos have help a great deal. I really wished that Apple would have given 64gig instead of 32 but it is what it is.Great job
there is actually has 4 changes speakers camera now protrudes and has a led flash and smart connector
iPad Pro 9.7" records 4K video, but how to watch that video on my 60" 4K TV? I don't think the latest Apple TV supports 4K?
Now 2018. Have Air 2. Very pleased with it. Great 👍 machine. Thank you. ☘️🙂🌲
Having an ipad mini 2 or an air or any older one(not older than ipad 3rd generation) is more than good enough and you can get one for a much better price. I have a mini 2 and works well for high demanding tasks. People nowadays are just obsessed with getting the very latest model.

Go for the Pro if you see yourself using a tablet for note taking and illustrations/drawing as the pencil/stylus works great. Both models can be easily "sniped" on eBay at a much cheaper price used.
I want to do some typing, and some light video editing for my channel, never 4K files, which one should I get?
what stands are you using for the iPad
Very detailed. Great work!
Very well made comparison video , cheers .
Thanks for this nice video. I have something to ask and I hope you to answer; does the apple pencil work as stylus as that with samsung mobiles like note series? Or it is used only in drawing?
My best regards.
+Hayder Edrees It does work as a stylus.
But it doesnt have air command and the perks of the note line i think
Im a little bit on a budget i have enough for the ipad pro but with 32 gb's i don't know if that's enough or ik can buy the air 2 with 128 gb's??? Which one??
ian Van desteene well just think do u want better one of the one with more space get the one with more space if your gonna download alot of stuff
Is the air 2 still considerably good for drawing ?
i can not decide what to buy ;;;; pro or air2 both models have distinctive strong points. money? or performance????
at 0:53 you said the Pro would be on the left side throughtout the whole video but at 11:27 the Pro was on the right
Ipad pro or ipad mini 4 ( mostly usage is media or web browsing)
RICKY SEKHON Defiantly iPad Mini 4. The iPad Pro is used like a computer and heavy gaming while iPad Mini 4 is much cheaper and I honestly think the iPad Mini 4 would be a better choice. Unless maybe money isn't an issue.

Great narrative! Smooth and pleasant to listen!
Would a iPad pro 9.7 case work with iPad air 2 ?
I have a Air 2 and I love it runs great and it gives me all of the productivity apps I need, plus it does 85% of the things the pro does...
Nice comparison ! but in 10:48 .... you must change text betwen both models :)
Apple are wonderful, the Apple products are simply the best in the world, they cannot be beaten on overall quality, reliability, and value for money 🤓( Apple employee)
Did your boss forced you to type this?
Aldrick Espinosa ☺️of course not, the Master would never force us to do anything........
+Ben Powe If you work there can you please send me an iPhone 6S plus PLEASSEEE
it's been my dream phone ever since...
.?
Aldrick Espinosa of course, we wouldn't want you buying that Samsung s7 💥🖱💥😱
Is this review done by James Woods?
I THINK FOR MOST THE AIR 2 WOULD BE FINE, THE PRO IS DECENT IF YOU WANNA USE THE PEN ETC BUT FOR ME THE THE AIR 2..........EVEN NOW IS STILL ONE OF THE BEST TABLETS AROUND
I was thinking of exchanging my 16gb space gray iPad Air 2 for the new 9.7" one but I think I'll just wait for the next one or maybe even the one after that and get a 64gb one :D I love my air 2 tho it's still great :D
At somewhere around 7:32, No was Ne in the words
2 changes? Should be 3, connector, speakers and flash
which one should I buy, pro 9.7 or air 2?
Is this Gold or RoseGold? The color is nice.
Does the iPad Air work with the Apple ear pods,(wireless)?
Calvin Monroe I think anything with bluetooth should
Can i use the apple pencil with my ipad air 2??
Just got my iPad Air 2 128g with case/Apple care for $250 it works perfectly great condition
Thank you for clarifying this. It is extremely helpful.
Nice comparison, though only thing I picked up was 17 months differences in technology is less than 1.5 years but you made it sound longer by saying its "close to a 2 year gap". Personally I don't think 7 months isn't a close enough gap to state something as almost 2 years instead of 17 months.
Excellent, Professional and fact driven
People use the front facing camera for FaceTime video calls so the 9.7 pro is a huge win in this category
where do you place the pencil when not using?
+Dada wont it bend the $100 stick? I suppose you can stick it in the charging port while carring it around.
+Dada got to agree! a tradie can place it on his ear, so long they dont scride any concrete by mistake.
Thanks alot for such great review, anyway I still cant decide which one to buy, air 2 is device which is almost 2y old and I wonder if still gonna be that good in next 3-4 years,I heard some rumors saying they gonna increase ram to 3gb on ipad pro 9.7
I am a producer with air 2 and adonit pixel. barely a difference.
Are they the same size
great video and detail explanation
hello; what i want to know is how will ipad air 2 stand in 3 years from now? does it worth paying 200$more for to buy ipad Pro 9.7 than ipad air 2? its going to be my first tablet and thank you for your reply.

Great presentation!
when you put up the list about improvements on iPad Pro you forgot to type about much better screen in the term off brightness
After watching this i think I'll be waiting for a 4k display iPad
and save $4k
i'm going to buy ipad air 2 128gb cellular is it fine?
Great video... as usual. Many thanks
Good job, I did a unboxing of the iPad Pro love it.
Im gonna buy ipad pro at june is there will a new iPad products
Comming
+Gaming Nerd Theres the June conference which will unveil new products, iPad Air may get a refresh but its unlikely since they released the smaller iPad Pro. They might decrease the prices though.
Thanks, lots of info in a compact time space.
Why are you showing the video on both iPads when one has lower brightness? After that you showed the brightness and one was lower than the other. In terms of color I can see a small difference in color but not by much.
Actually the iPad Air 2 and iPad Pro have the exact same speed for fingerprint cos they have the same sensor
This really pissed me off, if you're going to guarantee a correct review, please make it correct
Tony's Tech ipad pro 9.7 have inbuilt recorder?
No, the pro IS faster to unlock,because of the higher clock speed.think of it this way; my Ford Focus has the same tires as your Ford Taurus, so they must be the same speed,right? The speed is being determined by the chipset, not the sensor. I have been very happy with my air 2, but a combination of dropping it and causing the screen to lose some backlights, and my advancing age (64) means my replacement will be a 12 inch pro.
It's THREE design changes you forgot about flash
And The Protruding camera lens
You forgot the Flash :D but very good video:)
