Apple's 10.9" iPad Air 4 has been handed down a brand new redesign from the iPad Pro. It features flat sides and a flat back, just like the iPhone 12 lineup.
We've also got brand new features like the Touch ID power button.
In this video, I compare EVERYTHING between the 2019 iPad Air 3 vs 2020 iPad Air 4 to figure out just how much was changed and if it's worth upgrading to the new iPad Air.
I also go very in-depth with little details that most people don't notice or look at.

Hi please see my comments
i'd stick to the air 3
I’m lucky I’ve bought an Air 4 because I’m tired of having a iPad 5th generation and I didn’t have to spend all my money on a pro
I’ll take the 5 thanks😊😊😊😊 '
I have a air 3 at the moment, and it’s super good. Just because the new one is out doesn’t mean this one is bad. You can use your air 3 like a new iPad without the home button by swiping up. It does work, so the air 3 is mostly the same.
I just bought air 3 after its price dropped. Worth the money. Air 4 is way too costly just for study purpose. And I'm loving my air 3 💝🔥😍😍
@@erakatt amazon. In india. 😁🙏
@@erakatt obviously bro. It's perfect. 🔥🎉🎉💯
Not for me, I need 4th gen for the Apple Pencil 2
@@nishantgautam7627 How much did it cost?44?
@@abhijeetsahoo1767 i guess its around 40k now I bought for 44k though 4 months back
I have an Air 3 but I have a hard time to justify the upgrade for my use cases. It is not just the iPad but new cases, pencil and/or keyboard cases too. So the total cost is a lot higher than just the iPad itself.
There's no need to upgrade now, maybe in 2024
@@suvtropics Really that’s tooo long I’m updating from iPad Pro 9.7 to iPad Air 4
I have an iPad Air 2
Edit : lol I got the iPad Air 4 any way
Omg I needed this comment. I also have the air 3 and was thinking to upgrade lol
I was going to like the comment but it’s at 69 likes and I couldn’t touch that so😬 sorry
Thank you! Few months back I purchased an Air 2019, I thought about selling it and upgrading, but there’s not much of a difference aside from the redesign.
I love how u guys do the speaker comparison
Me tooo
Me tooo no one else does that
Me too
The iPad works amazingly the box came a little dirty, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA no plastic wrap, but the box was sealed and had everything else in the box along with the wrapping, the iPad itself is gorgeous, I got the yellow 64g game storage is good for me along with Socials and school stuff. No scratches or marks came with the charger and box fast speed, and if you are buying a pen get the 1st gen don’t make the mistake I did !!
The air 4 is cool but I’m staying with my iPad Air 3
I need that headphone jack it's louder than dongles
If you broke just say so lol
@@kelmerbueno5445 lol you're the same guy on that other comment, if you can't afford an iPad just say so lol
And I’m with my air 2
Gonna get iPad Pro M1 11 256 gb 😍.. it’s a huge upgrade 😱
Watching this on my air 3 while the 2020 iPad Pro 12.9 sits in my bag. volume buttons no issue and air 3 works well with Logitech slick folio with pencil holder. only no landscape audio sound though
Thank you!! Been waiting for this comparison ❤️
I love my iPad Air 3 that I purchased Spring 2020 as Apple refurbished. It seems flawless so far and really enjoying it. I have the Logitech combo keyboard cover, no screen protector needed with that. I got the Apple Pencil too as a Father's Day gift. The only disadvantage is the speakers on one end. Sounds great with headphones. My wife and I love headphones listening to classic rock albums with a Y adapter.
I am honestly happy with air 3 it is powerful and can handle task so easily. So i guess there is no need for upgrade.
100% you're right
Yeah it’s also so smooth after 2 years
@@Maciek2846 ya ik true.
@@Maciek2846 yep, it's not troubled me even a little bit ever since I got it in late 2019. Excellent device. Extremely powerful.
Thanks for the great video. I have the air 3 and was wondering about upgrading to the 4. Now I know that when I get more serious in drawing I will want to get the pro. I do notice some latency now in procreate sometimes when I make a line. I've had the air 3 for more than a year and have not used the camera, I use my phone for photos. The speakers bother me a bit on one side but for my use, they are actually good enough. I use my phone for music with Bluetooth earphones anyway.
Got my ipad air 3 today I'm very happy with it
finally someone made this comparison, thanks!!
I bought the iPad air 3 right before the 4 was released. I am actually happy, as I prefer the classic iPad design. It's more visually appealing to me...
Same here, and I bought a keyboad, mouse, and two cases and it was still less than buying the new Air alone 😗😂
I got a contract for air 3 right before air 4 came out 😂😅
Dislike
I did the upgrade and honestly speaking the Air 4 is another world.
Despite being the Air 3 still a modern and gorgeous device, the Air 4 brings all the missing features I was looking for into tablet of that price range, like a USB-C port which also supports hdmi out, 20W fast charge, a real stereo speakers experience, a symmetrical larger display, a modern look, a decent camera and a proper magnetic slot for the pencil.
The Air 3 is a good piece of tech but it's just missing some mandatory stuff for a premium device, gaming and media consumption on the Air 4 are on another level, it's more expensive than its predecessor but I'd say the difference is justified, also because with the A14 it features one of the most powerful mobile SoCs around.
I would say, if you guys feel good with your Air 3 don't do the upgrade since it still rocks, but if you feel like you want something more, you're missing those extra features that would make the difference for you but still you don't wanna spend the big amount of money for the Pro, the Air 4 is the perfect deal.
Literally 100% me too! I got my iPad Air 3 second hand quite late into the year and wasn’t 100% happy with it and I ended up getting the air 4. The air 3 still has the same re-sale value and I sold the Apple Pencil very close to the RRP, so all in all not much money wasted. It’d be a different story if I had bought an random android tablet, they have barely any resale value!!
Are u serious about the HDMI ..??
@@beatricekerthy3747Yes, they are.
Make a video on which iPad you should buy in late 2020 today!! I HAVE BEEN BADLY WAITING FOR IT!!!
Already filmed the script. Working on shooting broll today. Probably going up friday!
@@MaxTechOfficial Please tomorrow! I am badly waiting for it!
@@MaxTechOfficial Could you also make one based on the accessories we have? (like what device we should get if we have Apple Pencil 1st generation and 2nd generation)
IPad Pro 2018; there’s tons of refurbished for the same or cheaper; a14 hard to justify when you have to choose multi core vs single core
Awesome videos dude ! Thanks for speak in a normal speed so people from another countries like me can understand every detail.
u can play it slow on youtube option too lol
@@JimmyWayne7 Ahahahaha, you're so funny
I love your videos. I discovered your videos from another youtuber you are now one of my favourites youtubers Max. Good job ! I am waiting for the "what iPad should you really buy in 2020" !
Should be going up on Friday, Lord-willing :)
The 3 is still a pleasure to use. I am a tablet junkie and recently got a s7plus and iPad Pro 11. It screen is not that far from those for clarity.
My mum recently bought my cousin's old A9-powered iPhone 6s for my youngest sister. I had updated it to the latest iOS 14 version and it is crazy to see how well that 2015 iPhone performs six years later.
My point here is that if the old 2015 chipset like the A9 can still have stellar performance despite using the latest version of iOS, I absolutely see no reason to upgrade to the new iPad Air 4. The iPad Air 4 may have A14 chipset and USB-C port, but the iPad Air 3 has a much bigger battery and the still-relevant headphone jack.
“Apple likes getting rid of headphone jacks.”
Me: Facts
Headphone jack lives matter
@@GamerCalebYT 😂😂
Nice and a very useful review! What about battery life, does Air 4 run longer? And what is pen response time, is Air 4 with pencil v2 better than Air 3 with pencil v1? Thanks again!
I bought the iPad Air 3 last year to use for notetaking with Goodnotes 5 (all the other apps in Chrome OS, Android, and Windows didn't compare sadly) mainly for school. I also have been using it alongside my Surface Pro 7 (w/pen to mainly sign stuff) and using it to watch a video or read an article as I write my discussion posts or writing a paper. It's a nice complementary device for me, and this is coming from a Google fan who swore up and down about my Google Pixelbook until my productivity forced me to start using Windows and the iPad. I am liking this iPad for it being my first iPad ever.
After using the ipad air 4 for a few days I realized it was a good decision to upgrade from the air 3. It will take time for me to get used to it the keyboard is way different. I also find myself reaching for the home button to unlock it. Not used to the sleep wake button being the touch id button. I do agree with maxtech on the speakers. The air 3 had better speakers imo. My old air 3 had touchscreen issues. It would be unresponsive most of the times and most of those times after I took it off the charger after a complete charge. Sometimes while i was charging it. I had to do constant hard resets to get the touchscreen to respond on the air 3. In fact i had to have the air 3 replaced because it ended up with a dead pixel on the screen after only having it for 6 months. Took it to the genius bar they replaced it only for the replacement ending up with unresponsive touchscreen as well.
Me watching with a 5 month old iPad Air 3: not today bud.. not today
@prakhar chandrakar don’t have an Apple Pencil but there is three dots that the Apple Pencil can stick to so yes
I have iPad Pro 12.9 inch (4th generation) along with Apple Pencil and Magic keyboard.
It’s fun watching comparison between iPads.
Great review I’m on iPad 6 I use procreate what would be good Pro or Air 3? I did just buy old pencil still have return policy if I upgrade iPad.I love magnetic one.
Got the 4 upgraded from the iPad Pro 9.7! More like a next gen low end pro with the new cpu and higher single core performance and comparable multi core performance. Curious about the upcoming pros with A14x bionic 8 cores coming soon!
I upgraded from the first iPad Air which only had 16gb storage to iPad Air 4. It just arrived in the post yesterday. I’m waiting for my folio case which arrives tomorrow before I set it up.
I jus got an iPad Air 3 for Christmas and I’m in love!
I am on a school where you need an iPad (all the books are in apps only available on IOS) and both of these iPads are overkill as almost everyone here has one of the regular iPads like the 5th and 6th gen. But having the air 4 myself I can confirm it works absolutely fantastic.
The best comparison. Thanks much.
Love your vids!
Getting the air 4 for Christmas. Its my first ipad
Hello, Max Please do Performance & gaming between the two.
Yet another awesome video!
The side bezels on the old Air were so thin compared to the new one, but I like the symmetrical bezels more
Great advice. Thinking of getting the iPad Air 4.
Excellent video! Thank you!
My first iPad, a 2010 model, had the flat edges and I liked that look & preferred its feel. It’s strange to be returning to a design that Apple 🍏’discarded but is now vigorously reviving as something ‘new’, also in the iPhone 12 range... Apple 🍎 could next trial a hexagonally profiled edge-perhaps the best of both worlds?
I’m watching this from my iPad Air 3 and I think that it’s better then the new one. There’s a little changes but those aren’t significant changes, I mean I brought mine in a lot of money I don’t think that I’ll buy this new one for this very little changes but thanks for the review it’s really helped me to compare between them. And think whatever you think the speakers on the air 3 are better.
Great video im getting one for my daughter!
Honestly, if u have the air 3, I wouldn’t. (Like I have, for now) wait till the 2021 pro with mini led hopefully
mini led isn’t that big it’s micro led that’s the game changer
@@onedollasnake oh. Ok
When is it coming out? 😔
@@ming8483 from what I heard, it is coming out maybe in March or April. That is what I heard, I maybe wrong tho. I’m getting that one
Ya me too i am waiting for this new iPad Pro 😢
If you have the air 3 just stay with it for now if you only do work on it or a student, just wait like 4 years then switch
Definitely going to do that, I bought a Logitech keyboard and mouse for my Air 3 and two cases and it was still less than upgrading to the new one
Can you please do a comparison between the 2020 iPad Air 4 and the 2018 iPad Pro 11 inch - trying to decide between these two as they can be found at basically the same price now? Thank you.
you did raise your voice on the ipad air 4 when testing the mic lmao
love your vids!
Honestly in my opinion, I LOVE the Air 3. My finger's more comfortable with the touch ID on the home button. I also love the big screen and the headphone jack
Still using my ipad air 3 and ipad pro 10.5 hands down best ipad!
So helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for this comparison! Been waiting for this since iPad Air 4 came out. I bought a refurbished iPad Air 3 last spring from Apple, the old Apple pencil and the Logitech Combo Touch with trackpad! Very happy with Air 3 setup I have and I paid less for all three items I have than a 256GB Air 4 cost.
Yes, it was really worth upgrading. 2 years later and I do not miss one-sided audio or the Pencil sticking out the side of the iPad ready to be broken. Air 4 is still a powerhouse portable mini computer and with Magic Keyboard, it goes everywhere.
Thanks for an excellent video. Very informative.
I just got an iPad Air 4, and it fits my needs perfectly! It’s amazing. I’m a photographer, so I use it to edit photos in lightroom. I’m also a professional copywriter. I do a lot of content consumption and web browsing in safari. And I take part time classes as a student. I needed to read, write, edit photos, use email, do an occasional zoom meeting, and watch streamed content. Play games. The iPad Air 4 crushes all this. It’s insanely fast, much faster than my old MacBook Air laptop and even faster than my desktop iMac. I can’t believe how good it is, and with the magic keyboard it’s basically become my laptop. It’s a beautiful device. I’m so happy with the air 4!
I don't have either and I'm looking to buy one for university notes and digital art, should I go for the ipad air 4?
I have an air 3 I got it this summer I am very happy with it:)
Same here
@@tonysmith8035 hmm won't it easily bend? I mean yeah I'll put a case but I found someone with a case but still has a bend on it, I mean I wanna get this for my brother for study purposes so I'm kinda nervous about durability even with case put on
@@mcmovinup4991 I switch my cases almost daily and never had an issue with it bending it's very durable. I hope that helps.
Yeah me too!
Same, I bought an iPad Air 3, Logitech Combo Touch and Apple Pencil 1 in Summer 2020. One of the best purchases I’ve ever made. Definitely don’t need to upgrade to Air 4. This has basically replaced my laptop now and is fantastic for productivity.
Great vid! 👍 👍👍 very informative! 👍👍👍
I just get the ipad air 3 from xmas and i was rlly happy
as someone who isnt a regular viewer, i thought you were promoting the air 4 at first but then you sounded like you were promoting the air 3. thats when i realise that you weren’t promoting anything but you’re just enthusiastic. nice unbiased review👍
you guys are fast, i havent even finished watching the video yet
WORTH THE UPGRADE. Anyone knows what song he used to compare the speakers?
I have an air 3 but it kinda gets warm pretty fast now should i change?
is the ipad air 4 worth it if ur upgrading from the ipad air 1st gen?
Watching in my ipad air 3. It works so fine. No need to upgrade if you’re using Air 3. I cant get rid of the headphone jack since im a streamer.3.5 ports are so useful
USB c hubs exists . The 4 is way better .
@@kelmerbueno5445 no need for hubs.. if that jack is what you all need. Soon, maybe upgrading. Lol
Trust me .. you’ll love a hub lol .
@@kelmerbueno5445 i bought Anker hubs for my macbook m1 and yeahhh. Its so useful. But my Ipad air is still lighting? So i think il just leave it as is🤪
I went from Original iPad Air 1st Gen to the iPad Air 4. Big jump since the old one is worn out, and my desktop and laptop are also worn out. Getting iPad Air 4 in the mail.
Still running air 2 for about 6 years now upgrading to air 4 in a couple of days
Nice
Nice explanation. Subscribed!
I have the Mini 5. Does it apply to...
I guess I don’t need the upgrade. The speaker thing on 3 has always bothered me. But at least I have a headphone jack
iPad air 3 still holds its value for money.
Aaaeeee tu jaaaa re
iPad air 3 is a budget iPad, once you have it, theres no need to buy an air 4
I wish someone would talk about the different apple pencils and which iPad Air is worth getting taking the pencils into consideration, for students. 🙏🏻😅
iPad Air 4 I think is better for students! And the iPad Air 4 has better speakers so it will be easier to hear. I been using iPad Air 4 as an student and I been loving it.
I'm curious, does anyone else prefer the design of the Logitech Folio Touch keyboard? I've got the Combo Touch for my Air 3 and purchased the Folio for the iPad Pro I've ordered. Strongly prefer the looks to the Magic keyboard case, love the feel, quite like the keyboard, love the function keys, and love how I can fold the keyboard back and out of the way for when I want to watch video!
I think I will stay with my air 3:) thanks for the sharing.
Just the screen is a major upgrade . You’ll love the 4
7:28 The IPad Air Dancing to the beat 😂
I got the IPad 7th generation during lockdown and I’m thinking of getting iPad Air 4! What do you think I should do?.
I prefer the iPad Air 4 for both cameras back and front!
I was thinking of 8 or air 3 but ended up buying the air 3... I was concerned about the storage but turns out that I didn’t even use half the storage on my iPad air 3 64
Same! 😂😁
is it worth it to get ipad air 3 with 26gb but costs more 200 or the ipad air 4 with 64gb
Please compare between pro 2018 and Air 4.
The thing i didn't like on my ipad air 3 is the bezels are to thin in portrait mode. I had constant problem when proper hold even with palm detection. I like they made a step back like were ipad air 2. I will go to the 4 later
iPad Air 3 o iPad Pro 2da generación cual me recomiendan mas? La quiero para editar en luma fusión, dibujar de vez en cuando con apple pensil y editar fotos. Gracias
Watching this on my air 3, waiting for 120hz air 5 a16 bionic
Samee
I want to buy myself IPad Air for university, for taking notes, editing etc. I was thinking of buying IPad 3 but then the pen is really what stops me. I really like thin pens, it's more convenient to use and write. So which one should I choose?
I have an air 2 and i wanna upgrade but idk i want to do the 4 but its quite expensive... and should i up to 3?
I upgraded to the Air 4 from an Air 2, I'm so happy I did it's an awesome device
Me toooo
Waiting for mine to get here
I bought the air 4 with cellular and I absolutely love it
I can get myself a ipad air 3 with apple pencil for 349 euros. Is it worth it?
Thnk you 🙂
It will be Great if you compare the Air 2 vs Air 4
Despite the bezels the air 3 is still a looker...sleek and hella thin. Also the A12 is still a performer. The only deciding factor for me i think would be screen size. I could actually skip both and get an ipad 7 but i like the laminated display on the air 3
My iPad Air 3 watching this: don’t you dare get my evil twin
And thx btw this video was helpful
Hello, there are so many iPad models it’s confusing. Why would I purchase one over the other? No one really talks about what lifestyle would be better served by each type of iPad. Can you do a video breakdown of air, pro, mini, even the budget friendly one they recently took out for around $350. No one has really done this the way you all break stuff down for your viewers, I’ve been looking. Thank you ahead of time if you decide to do so.

Good video again but I’m honestly not really convinced by the latest iPad designs. It’s also a bit annoying there’s no headphone jack anymore. The quality seems alright but for me no reason to upgrade from an air 3.

Max tech when is the IPAD PRO coming out? Should I buy right now?
If you are looking at the iPad Pro, then I would suggest waiting, as the next model is coming within 6 months with potentially huge improvement
What if in the home button we can unlock our iPad without pressing it and just laying your finger
Maybe in software update in settings (we can turn it off if you want) or if it is hardware based on new models with
I think the iPad Air 4 can do that
In case I don't have any ipad before, which one you guys prefer me to buy? I mean when you choose the air 3rd gen some of the stuff like pencil could not be used in the next ipad series.
