FINALLY, A COMMON SENSE REVIEW! The majority of the reviews I’ve read from other tech geeks nit pick about things I don’t care about or say get the larger size. I am an “average” iPad owner. I just upgraded to an 11 inch Air from an iPad 9th gen. I did it to get rid of the 9 before it depreciates any more. I wanted the M2 chip and 256 gb. storage so I could “future proof” myself from Apple’s confusing marketing shell game. I got $170.00 from Apple on trade-in and ended up with a $44.08 monthly payment on the Apple Card for twelve months. I am very happy with my decision. The Air 11 is faster, the dual speakers are enough for me, and it seems to weigh lighter in my hand. I hope this has been helpful!
Appreciate it, thank you!
exactly my opinion, thank you 🙏
Why didn’t you just get the m2 pro? It’s cheaper at Best Buy and is better
I have a ipad mini 4th generation with 2g of ram and bionic a8 im gonna buy the new air the difference is gonna be huge for me lol
@@angut9065 Yo don’t do it. Get an older pro, it’s a lot better. Trust me. You can get an 11 inch m2 pro at Best Buy for 610 and a 12.9 m2 pro for 810. It’s the m2 air but soo much better
This was my favorite review of alllll the reviews I watched! It was short, sweet, informative, & to the point . . Without being unnecessarily dragged out for 30mins!
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!
Thanks alot! Really helped me decide the iPad for me. Informative review.😊
Thanks for this video! It was very informative. I was thinking about upgrading from an M1 to the M2 iPad Air, but from the information you provided in this video, I’ll hold off for the time being.
You can definitely hold off it isn’t worth the upgrade.
I saw Zoro and clicked. Thanks for the review. This was great. I ordered the blue 13 inch a few days ago. Can’t wait to get it.
I’ve contemplated going to get the 13-inch but still on the fence.
I also saw Zoro and clicked😂😂
I had a M1 iPad Pro which I sold a while back I still have the Magic Keyboard case and pencil I currently have a m3 pro MacBook. I’m missing my iPad but I’m debating getting the air m2 or pro m4 I’m leaning towards air since I have the Magic Keyboard case already. I mostly want it for media and some light work flow on the go. Thoughts ?
Nice review, thanks!
Appreciate this a lot thank you!
I was very confused between 11 and 13 inch ones, and concerned about the 60Hz refresh rate. This review that shows a person actually properly using their ipad (opening apps, playing games) is more helpful than other specs reviews where they just flash their ipads from different angles or just scroll through apps on home screen.
13 a bit big
@@THECARELESSJOURNAL Agreed, 11" is a good size for a tablet.
Im getting an 11" M2 ipad air this Wednesday.
ALSO, the apple pencil pro.
IM SOO EXCITED😩
And this is going to be my first ipad😭
Me too broo what a coincidence 🤯

@@neeraj.exe.08purple star for me I’m getting the pro version
this will be my first Ipad ever too
damn we gonna feel the same way after got it
Just bought this iPad because it was $50 off and I got a $100 Apple gift card back (Student discounts right now). Best thing is they don't even verify if you're a student or not if you order online. I'm going to pick it up at the store Saturday morning and I'm so excited. I'll be buying the Pencil Pro with that gift card. Hopefully this is a good upgrade from the iPad 9th gen
Really helpful dude
I’m happy to help!
I still have the iPad 10.5. Have no plans on trading it in as it still works wonderfully. But I want another iPad for advance drawing and Graphic design. I have a spare iPhone 12 Pro that I can trade in. I am eyeing the iPad 11 inch M2. Is it suitable for Adobe illustrator and Adobe Fresco?
Great review. I really want the Pro but that price is pushing me to the Air especially since all I really do it watch TV and Movies on it. Thanks
thank you soo much for that amazing video 😊
Thanks for supporting and watching it!
@@VladGamingTechWorld All the other youtubers always have the most blatant, most expensive ipad, but most people can't afford to buy such expensive devices. That's why I think it's great that there's someone who shows the ipad that more people can buy. so thanks🙏
@@Maurel. Totally agree with you. Almost all the iPad Air reviews were on 13 inch models, was nice to see @vladgamingtechworld used the 11 inch
Hey bro 👋, I too purchased the same model in starlight colour. I have a question for you. While playing music on the iPad, do you hear sound coming out of all the 4 speakers ? Or only 2 ? I noticed it's coming out of 2 only and I saw on RUclips videos, people were saying , since it is a stereo speakers, only 2 will work. Can you check yours and confirm me please ?
Only 2 works in air
Unfortunately, according to Apple’s specs, there are only 2 speakers on the air. The iPad Pro on the other hand is the device with 4 working stereo speakers.
Hard time finding screen guard because most sellers r reselling the air 5th gen screen guard but camera placement being different won’t work. Will last year’s pro screen guard fit this?
Amazon has them
Wow great review. 👌
Thanks so much!
I ended up upgrading from the 2017 10.5 inch pro model. I had that thing for seven years so I ended up going with 256 because I plan on keeping this iPad for that amount of time as well. I got a 3rd party pencil because I have no need for the pro pencil. Plus I just got one for my mini 6 and it was 120.00, I’m set. Excited to see how you use yours for future content.
I wish I went with the 256GB. I plan on going back to upgrade the storage.
Which pencil you are using?
@@dibyendumaiti6229 ESR brand. 20.00 on Amazon
What wallpaper is in the thumbnail?
Nice review. I went with the M1 Air 256gb on sale for $529. Did not think the difference in the two chips would be that noticeable.
It’s not. That was a good choice!
Can I ask what screen protector are you using, it looks like Paperlike but I know at present they don’t make one for the new front camera position.
Yes it’s paper like. I ended up using the 10.9 one for the 10th gen iPad on my new iPad Air
@@VladGamingTechWorld Ah right, thanks
great review! i just bought one and i love it :) im just having trouble finding a screen protector. Can you use the m4 ipad 11 screen protectors?
Hi, Thanks for the kind words. As for screen protector I decided to put on the paper like for the 10.9 inch iPad 10th generation on since it had the same cut out for the camera screen seeing as that iPad already had the landscape camera orientation.
@VladGamingTechWorld thank you ill try that 😊😊😊
What colour version is that? I might get an M2 air but not sure what colour to get.
Blue.
Does Your ipad m2 air all speaker working ?
Check it first pls because i recently bought ipad m2 air. Initially i didn't notice then i put my ear neaby all 4 speaker then i knew only 3 speaker are working. Thats why iam you
Is it normal or i have to replace it pls guide me?
There should not be four speakers in your M2 iPad Air. Only the Pros have four speakers.
Wow beautiful setup
Thanks so much!
Hi great review. What was the marvel drawing app you were using ?
Its an app called drawing desk
Watching this on my base 13” iPad Air!
Do you like it? I´m thinking about buying it, but I´m not so sure about the speakers
How’s the 13 inch iPad Air treating you?
@@user_es1 I like it. I had a 2018 11” pro which I traded in for the CPU boost. Speakers are fine but the 60hz display took getting used to coming from a pro.
@@VladGamingTechWorld enjoying the bigger size! Bought it for a cpu upgrade from a 2018 pro
@@user_es1do not
Ipad pro m1 and m2 better and faster then new air
New sub great video! What do you think of upgrading from the Ipad pro 12.9' - 2020 (A12Z chip) to the M2 Air 13' - 2024!?
If you want the new pencil and the faster chip go for it otherwise you're losing Face ID, 120hz on the screen, and the quad speakers.
Yesterday, I commented and asked a question. Can you pls reply ? I saw u replied to all other comments except mine. I don’t know what’s the problem. Why no one is answering whether 2 speakers are working or 4 speakers!
2 speakers
How good is this for watching stuff compared to the tab s9+?
Well the S9+ comes with an OLED screen which does look better than that of the one on the M2 iPad Air as that screen is LED, but the one on the M2 iPad Air does still look amazing.
Should i buy
Air 13 inches
Or m4 pro 11 inch
For study online classes games Netflix
If your focus is on study and netflix then go with 11 inch pro model because it has oled ,120 hz and its easy to carry. If you are on budget constraints go with the air model. Games will pretty much same on both the devices. I had an m2 13 inch pro model which i cannot hold for too long mostly i watched netflix using the case which i used as stand. For games 13inch becomes a burden.
Hi will Apple Pencil 2nd generation work with this iPad? Thanks!
no😞
No it will not. Only the Apple Pencil USB-C and Apple Pencil Pro
Very nice review! Can you give more details about gaming? Do you face heat issues? Could you play Genshin on max settings without getting hot or have performance issues? Thank you in advance!
Hi, so I am currently working on that video now and it’ll be posted this upcoming Sunday!
@@VladGamingTechWorld I watched your gaming vid. Great information. I think a video explaining how to connect iPad to big monitors, how to mouse/keyboard or connect a controller could help too. I guess some of that is simplistic but honestly for people new to trying to game on iPads it would be so helpful
ITS BEAUTIFUL
Thanks!
what is the battery life
Hi. How much is the max FPS count in PUBG mobile for iPad air 11 inch?
Hi that’s a great question. I am currently working on this video and it’ll be posted on Sunday! It will be my testing of several games.
It comes with 60hz panel so bro it will only give 60
@@kmrumair8403 i don’t think so
Where did you get the case from at 5:25 and whats the name/link?
ZryXal New iPad 10th Generation Case 10.9 Inch 2022 with Pencil Holder, Smart iPad Case with Soft TPU Back. I got it off of Amazon. The 11inch iPad fits perfectly in it
@@VladGamingTechWorld Thank you so much!
Hello dear sir
Which app did you use for drawing lessons?
I’m using the app called drawing desk
I went with the blue too but commented because Kaiju No.8 is 🔥
Such a good anime!
Which is better to get? Ipad pro m2 2022 or this one??
In my opinion, I believe the iPad Pro M2 especially if you’re getting the 12.9 as it comes with the mini-led screen as well as pro motion. What’s great is the fact that you can get that iPad Pro for cheaper now so it’s definitely worth the value.
I’ve just bought the Air 6, coming from an Air 5. I wouldn’t have bothered upgrading but I’ve almost filled the 64gb storage so need more! Gone with the purple M2 11” Air. Don’t need the bigger size for what I use my iPad for.
The 64GB of storage was brutal
@@VladGamingTechWorld my iPad Air 2 this was my biggest problem. So when I finally upgraded to the new M2 iPad Air I went with 256 gig of storage. Honestly I half think I should have gone with 512. If you plan to run your device to the ground you can never have enough storage and file sizes are only getting larger and larger.
i just bought the m2 13 inch , i needed a bigger size. but honestly yeah there is only minimal difference from the last generations , even the ipad air gen 4 is good asf
Honestly, the air 5 still rocks, it’s a beast with 4k video, never had any issues, though i am not a big gamer, but this air 6 is for newcomers, not those who have the previous generation, unless it’s the 13 inch model, which is tempting, but probably too bulky to carry around and use on the go.
I couldn’t agree more. There is no need to upgrade if you’re someone already on the iPad Air 5th generation. The new M2 iPad Air’s only have a few slight changes such as a new chip with the M2, the camera now in landscape orientation, Bluetooth 5.3 and WiFi 6E.
@@VladGamingTechWorld M2 iPad Air Model I hope has the same longevity as the iPad 2 and iPad Air 2 did. For both those models, Ram was what helped them last as long as they did so I think the M1 and M2 with 8 gigs both will stand the test of time.
I didn't know Michael B Jordan was that great doing tech reviews!
Is good base modle of ipad air 11 inches 128gb?
The base model of the M2 iPad Air comes with 128GB of storage.
After watching this video I bought the same iPad you recommended ❤❤❤.
Thanks buddy for making this quality content ❤❤.
Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Glad to hear I could help you with your decision making. Appreciate the support!
I have macbook air m1 and iphone 15pm i need to know how do i stream live on youtube , tiktok and other platforms please
Hello! Please help me decide between the 256GB iPad Air 5th Gen or the 128 GB M2 iPad Air. It will be my first iPad. Thank you! 😊
I find the 128gb base model to be good enough for my needs with the M2 iPad Air. You can’t go wrong with either but I rather the newest one as it will be provided more future updates as it’s brand new whereas the M1 Air has been out for some time.
I am a engineering student i used a android phone
If i buy an ipad is their will any problems of data sharing?
It will be 1st apple products but i am confused which should i get
My preference are
1.Note taking
2.PDF reading
3.Multimeadia consumption
4.Gaming(A little bit not hard core gamers)
5.Watching netflix and Amazon prime
So Which should be preferable the air or the pro model
As i am student my budget is limited
Sob Which should and what size and what storage should i buy for next 4 years to be used?
what screen protector are you using?
Paper like
can you compare it to the 11 m4
Can you do a video on desk setup??
I’m actually in the process of getting the parts to make a video in the upcoming weeks!
@@VladGamingTechWorld thank you I was planning to buy a monitor for iPad Air M2 and I’m clueless
Is the display 120 hz or 90?
Sadly it’s 60hz 😔
Hi guys! I come from a 2018 12.9 iPad Pro. I'm a teacher and I really think that a new pro would be too expensive for my usage. Do you think an M2 air might do the job? My friends recently gave me a gift card to use in an Apple Store, that's why I'm thinking to buy a new one rather than a used iPad.
The M2 Air will most definitely handle anything you throw at it.
@@VladGamingTechWorld Thanks man!
Can we connect two controller at a time for multiplayer games ?
I’ve never tried connecting two controllers before.
Can you please try and let me know just wanted to be double sure before buying additional one
@@vishalsingh-jn5mi Yes you can connect two controllers just make sure the game supports 2 player
Thank you so much 😊
Do you own a mini as well and which do you prefer to take with you in public
I no longer have the mini but my girlfriend has one. I like both of them a lot. I prefer the iPad Air for its size, performance and just the bigger size for gaming and consuming content. But nothing beats the portability of the mini it’s honestly so easy to bring around anywhere
What do you think is better, iPad Air M2 2024 or iPad Pro M2 2022?
iPad Pro M2
Where i can find this zoro wallpaper?
I got it from an app called wallcraft from the App Store.
Can you pls upload codm graphic option in ipad air 2024 pls in community post
It’s gonna be something like very high with max frame rates and yes even an iPhone 11 can play in 50 fps with this setting so this device is gonna run with 60 fps. Will update you when I get my iPad this Friday and yes I am a codm player
My next video has to do with gaming. Make sure you subscribe as it’s already in the works.
Soo Ipad air m2 or the Xiaomi 6s pro?
I’m still working on getting my hands on the Xiaomi 6s pro. I’m extremely eager to test and review that tablet.
Can you share your wallpaper it’s really cool.
I got it from an app called wall craft
@@VladGamingTechWorldWallcraft is awesome 👍🏻
I need the wallpaper in the thumbnail!!
I got it from an app called wallcraft.
@@VladGamingTechWorld Thankyou🙏🏻
Very beautiful
Thank you!
I really want one in purple.
The purple color does look nice in my opinion
Yesss that's the one I just bought ❤❤
Dog is very cute
Thanks I’ll let her know
I see Zoro, I click.
Who wouldn’t lol
Does it break easily??
No it does not. If you’re someone who takes good care of their belongings then you have nothing to worry about
No it does not
Which will be good brother ,ipad air 6 or samsung s9plus ,i am very confused 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳
The iPad Air 6 will be better for performance, but the S9 Plus is a better buy as it comes with a higher refresh rate, better screen with OLED, S-PEN for free and its water resistant
@@VladGamingTechWorld during student offer ipad air is 54k pencil pro is free during student discount,and 15k is diff b/w price in ipad air and samsung
Just got 1 yesterday 11” 256gb
Let me know how your experience with this tablet goes!
@@VladGamingTechWorld my first tablet and very useful can bring here and there 😀
What exactly is a refresh rate?
The refresh rate on the iPad Airs are 60hz
I want the Zoro's wallpaper
You can get it from the app called wallcraft.
Where can I download wallpapers for my iPad ? I've got the iPad 10th gen ??.......( I saw Zoro and yes I clicked xD)......
I got it off an app called wallcraft which has some amazing wallpapers
The M1 chip in my iPad is complete overkill for iPadOS let alone an M2 and higher. 😂
I agree!
The new M2 Ipad air or the older M2 iPad Pro?
Older M2 pro
The older m2 pro especially if it’s the 12.9 inch as it’ll have the same performance but it’ll have mini-led, pro motion and more.
m2 ipad pro or m2 ipad air?
In my opinion, I would say the m2 iPad Pro as it comes with Pro Motion and if you’re going to get the 12.9 model then even better as that model comes with the Mini-LED screen
Bro
I have the exact same ps5 controllers
I already have the iPad but when I saw the Zoro wallpaper I had to click on it
Haha thanks!
Only if you have an iPad with an A12 it’s a good upgrade!
I guess it depends on what you’re trying to do with your new iPad. For example, if you have the iPad 10th Generation and are looking to get into editing whether photo or video then this would definitely be a good upgrade.
@@VladGamingTechWorld oh nothing crazy just renewing my drivers defense course online and yet it couldn’t properly handle one of the pages so I took my brothers $200 dell laptop and did it with flying colors.
(Tried on 3 different browsers btw)
I bought the iPad Air m2 128gb, it's my first iPad, and I use it for taking notes, studying and for leisure activities. in conclusion I am VERY disappointed with the battery. Using ONLY RUclips I consumed 53% of the battery in 2 hours and 43 minutes (I timed the time) which for me is unacceptable from a device like this. I'm already forced to leave the house with a power bank...
I am doing a long-term review of this iPad in a few weeks and this is one of my cons when it comes to this iPad so far. It is definitely disappointing to say the least.
@@VladGamingTechWorld Thanks for your reply, I will subscribe to your channel 👍
There’s a lot of stuff you can do to prolong battery life, off the top off my head, disable location services, app background refresh, auto updates, push notifications, bluetooth, turn off live wallpapers, put screen timeout at 2 mins, and don’t use full screen brightness. If you’re watching videos non stop on full screen brightness with all those settings turned on, you will be lucky to get 5-6 hours.
Thanks for sharing the experience! I wanted to get it for this September but your comment makes me doubt the choice, what other tablet would you recommend me to get as I’m a student too and I’ll use it about 5-8h a day for taking notes and studying
Whose random hand is that? It needs lotion
🤣😭
Ok the only thing i wanna kno is, r u taken? Does ur dog like other dogs cuz mine do lol
I am taken.
I am too so get in the back of the line! 😎

Love to hear it!
13" is too large for a tablet.
I believe you’d get used to it.
60hz
And I have promotion turn off on my iPad Pro 2017 still don’t see the difference
@@Ghostlynotme445 Yeah, it´s difficult to see the difference in daily use. I´d prefer better speakers.
Ngl u was disappointed about the 60hz but for some reason u wouldn’t even tell unless u put it side by side
Unfortunately, yes 60hz.

and the "pro" is still starting at 256gb
