Putting a chip like that in an iPad is like putting a jet engine in a Ford fiesta.
😂😂😂
I actually have a Ford Fiesta with a jet engine and it just flies over the road!
Perhaps now, but wait a few years....
desperate marketing ploy to charge more money per unit sold. wont save apple share price

Love your videos! You’ve become my favourite RUclipsr.
Really like your storytelling approach to reviews.
Quality.
Great Video! Nicely done! Look forward to your in-depth review 🎉
I am just glad the new iPad has no notch. This camera notch on a tablet should never be a trend.
facts🔥
Don't give Tim The Accountant any ideas. He may put notch on everything and in 10 years time remove it again and call it Innovation.
@@eclecticarofacts 😂
all the Apple fence predicted that would happen a notch thanks God they were wrong! but I still don't understand why it exists on MacBooks... don't give me excuses I rather have this thing out!
I have a iPad Pro 12.9 inch 2018, other updated didn’t really impress me enough to feel it was worth it. But this has been really intrigued..
I'm still using my pro from 2018 and it still kicks azz. Don't plan to upgrade unless it brakes. Why spend more when mine does everything i need it to do. For those buying the new one, enjoy 👍
had to replace my 2018 ipad pro after it made my car hit the brake. The sudden stop caused my ipad pro to fly in the air and break when it went through the windshield.....Just kidding...my battery just died permanently
I agree. My 2008 12.9” iPad Pro with 512GB and Wi-Fi/cellular does everything I need it to do. The only downside is that the battery life is a lot shorter than when it was new. A small power bank costing less than $50 solves that problem. An OLED screen would be nice but not worth the price of the upgrade since I already have Pro Motion.
I’m upgrading my 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 as 4gb of ram just isn’t enough anymore. Plus the OLED display is totally worth the upgrade IMO
@@Tommmmmmmmmmmmyea goodnotes crashes a few times for me
I still have my 2018 12.9 iPad Pro. No complaints so far except decreased battery life. The LCD display and Promotion screen makes want to stick to it even more. I would upgrade though if the screen was increased to 14 inch or the rumored 16 inch iPad ultra. The 2024 iPad Pro is still same same to me.
Your videos are always a pleasure! ❤️
Great video from the Tom Hiddleston of tech reviewers! Look forward to the review.
I have always been a big iPad Pro fan and this is a fantastic update across the board. Next level screen matched with blazing performance. What I would like to see is the iPadOS make the big step up it need to keep pace with the hardware.
They should really be adding the option to ship them with MacOS. They basically have the widest array of hardware configurations imaginable when it comes to buying them, so why has that option always been absent? I understand ipadOS has always been one for the average people, but if you've been invested in the ecosystem for years and your paying roughly $3k for an iPad Pro then you deserve MacOS if you want it.
I am really just upgrading for the Apple Pencil pro to be honest. I have lost my Apple Pencil so many times that it’s annoying at this point so the find my feature is what excites me the most. I really wish I could use it on my current iPad Pro but since I can’t I am going with the iPad Air. I never really use pro features and the only real reason I have a pro is because of the 12.9 inch screen and now that I can get that on the iPad Air I think it’s the better deal. I don’t like that I will be giving up Face ID by going to the iPad Air but that’s really my only issue.
Hi great video! I’m a videographer and use fcpx on a baseline M1 MacBook pro, do you know if the air 13 also supports fcpx external drive editing? I’m planning to get a Mac Studio and having the air for quick rough cuts etc
Could you make a battery drain test and compare them to the tab s9 lineup no one is doing those battery drain tests
As a musician I am finally happy to be able to purchase a large "A4" sized tablet for my sheet music and not having to pay the Pro price.
Excellent video. Exactly what I wanted to know.
ipad air being 60 hz is criminal
yep
Pure robbery
Is it still 60 hz?
@@MrSamarsinghair will always be 60 hz cause 120 hz a “pro” feature
It's annoying, but yh it's one of the ways they make it non-pro. I feel like they should at least make it 90hz though
Hi could you test sound of new air 11 inch v old air. To see if there is an improvement
Class!
Waiting impatiently for the new Mini - it’s the form factor that works for me. Hurry up, Tim!
Thanks for the content.
Your videos are so well made.
0:16 It is really genius that Apple made those tablet variants with those ideal size for excellent viewing. For example, the 11" replaces the 10" and the 13" is a new entry into the line up and they are both perfect sizes. 😎💯💪🏿👍🏿 I like how Apple trim down the bezel which make the screen look modern. Thinner bezels look more aesthetically pleasing to the eyes.
4:3 aspect ratio still not appealing for most peoples specially for watching Movies (Netflix,disney plus) playing games
they need changed to regular 16:10 .
@@NPC2358 Very true, this is also the reason I didn't order the 13 inch version(11 inch one is slightly wider). But I am not sure how I feel about a rather big portable device with a 16:10 or even 16:9 aspect ratio, could it be hard to hold?
My M1 Air is on the way out and I’m curious if I can replace it with the M4 Pro. I guess I’ll have more of an answer after WWDC
I've been holding on to my 11 inch 2018 ipad pro. Just ordered the 13 inch ipad last night 😁
Same here..yet I'll still hold on to mine for a couple more years, it's still excellent and does the job..hope you'll enjoy yours
Me same, 13” ordered, 2018 11” pro still going strong
i'm wondering, if you can charge the apple pencil 2 loose from an ipad, will it work on the new ones ?
Thanks a lot! I was planning on getting an M2 Air 13-inch for university (business), not too heavy! But the iPad Pro 11-inch is so appealing. Which one would you recommend?
I have the 6th gen 12.9 inch, I thought it’d be too big but I like it way more than the 11 inch (especially cuz I have the Magic Keyboard with it)
Hardware wise all that seems to be missing is making the Magic Keyboard a USB hub which connects to iPad Pro and/or double thunderbolt ports on the iPad Pro
I have a 2018 12.9 iPad Pro.... with the Magic Keyboard.... and Pencil... but I got a Quest 3 so I now "iPad" in VR.... I used my iPad alot before I got into VR computing.... now I can do youtube, socials and media consumption in VR... and extend my Mac monitor... so will be skipping for now until a 15 inch iPad comes around....
Yep, the Quest 3 truly is the definitive content consumption/ exercise machine lol. Tablets are a waste of time as long as you're okay wearing such a device. What's worse about iPad is all this macbook power in the chip, locked away because of ipadOS
I currently have a 4th generation IPad Air definitely thinking of upgrading to the Pro.
Is the camera spec the same between pro and air?
yup. thinking of updating my 11 M1 but i hate it when i have to change all the accessories. even my 2nd gen apple pencil wo’nt work with AirM2 if I choose that one. 😢
Thomas, which application is this at the fifty-three second mark, that turns handwriting into elegant fonts?
I believe it's called Good Notes. It can make the handwriting look elegant. There are helpful RUclips videos on it.
The nano texture display doesn't look as vibrant and clear as the regular one. But that's the trade-off for minimum glare
Most people want screen protectors anyway. Those come in matte finish. Not sure who is going to pay for nano texture.
I’m looking to buy my first iPad for drawing.. that price is only available in USA and England?
Because in my country the current versions are twice the actual price.. but in a few months I’ll going to Cracov and Praga, Vienna.. do you in could find that price there?
Aren’t the bezels any thinner on the pro’s??
3d modelling/animation could eat up those specs in an instant. This is the best thing for artists since no need to separate workstations from their edc. I'm still interested to see warthunder mobile in rtx graphics reaching 120hz if it can run it.
Can I use the gen2 pencil on the new iPad air or do I need the Apple Pencil pro?
Rocking the iPad Pro 2018. Battery is reduced so looking to replace. Likely go for the air as don’t need the power of the pro.
Curious as to how much better the screen, speakers, and hz rate is on the Pro compared to the Air.
I don't mind paying the extra for the Pro, if there is a noticeable difference.
I don't need more power, but I do travel on average 9 months out of the year and mainly will use to consume content/read docs and edit a couple photos here an there in lightroom.
I like I said, I don't need the extra power of the Pro, but if the better screen and speakers are noticeably better will make me more than willing to pay for the pro.
I have the 10.9 inch ipad air5 version with 64 space on storage, is it worth upgrading to the 13 inch ipad pro ??
Would love to see a few efficiency cores ditched for a few extra gpu cores. There’s no need for the most part for all of that cpu power but you could definitely use more gpu power.
I feel like one reason they may have made it lighter because alot of people was complaining about how heavy it was with the magic keyboard
I dislike how nano texture seems to dim the double OLED display, it makes me worried if it will ruin the color accuracy. I'll have to see it for myself at the store and compare the screens, one with nano texture and other one just the OLED screen.
it does seem to wash out contrast quite a bit, huh?
Right? It almost looked like an ancient LCD screen from 2009, However That may have just been the diffusion of the rooms lighting reflecting. In person it's likely a lot cleaner looking. In low lighting it especially wouldn't be noticeable
@@smittyvanjagermanjenson182 That's why I'm holding off on purchasing an iPad, I want to see it in person first with my own eyes at the Apple store. It may just be the video recording or the lighting in the room. I want to make sure that the nano-texture glass doesn't dim the OLED screen too much, I like the colors and deep blacks. I know its purpose is to reduce glare but I want to make sure when I see the OLED screen with nano-texture it looks great in-person.
@@smittyvanjagermanjenson182 I've got a matte paper-textured screen protector on my 12.9" M1 and the effect is the exact same. Blacks are less deep in bright lighting conditions, but you get the advantages of not having reflections on your screen. In normal lighting conditions, or in dimly lit rooms, the screen still looks amazing. That said, I wouldn't go for the nano textured screen from factory having the option to apply one of these screen protectors for much less with the same results
Nice video
Still using the 2020 Air. Only reason to get something different would be if I wanted the larger screen. I would opt for the 13” Air or a refurbished Pro with the M1 or M2 chip.
Will the ipad air 6 support apple pencil 2?
Finally bought the M2 12.9" IPad Pro last year and no way can justify "upgrading" to the M4
Are we likely to need the full fat m4 chip with 16gb ram or will the binned version with 8 gb be plenty?
Well if your some kind of Professional content creator/ graphic artist with a deep understanding of pushing an iPad to its limits to create, then yes the 16gb.
If you're a regular person that consumes content and doesn't do anything very demanding, then 8gb.
I know have an iPad Air from 2019. Should I get the new air or the new pro?
my issue with ipad is that its a mobile OS essentially designed for phones - yes they've expanded and tweaked it BUT it's extremely limiting in some aspects. I'd consider the Air if it had a desktop mode or was able to run desk top apps (similar to how mac os can run certain ios apps). i use tablets mostly for watching media content...sometimes I switch to it if I'm reading and want a bigger screen over my phone or if I want to play a game that has more detail -- but when I want to get some real work done using MS office, or even use my 3D printer, or use specific software I am having to switch back to my laptop.
At the moment I just use a cheap tablet and have the M1 MacBook air - I was looking to upgrade to either the M3 MacBook but I'm tempted by the iPad air 13 (it's a cheaper option, still has the M2 BUT the OS is a concern)
They put a desktop chip into a tablet but then use a mobile OS - the only logic behind this is because the moment they put macOS on an iPad the MacBook sales will plummet (so naturally apple wont do this).
It's now got to a point where we are carrying so many devices around with us - watch, tablet, phone, laptop...now vr headsets. At least Apple have moved over to usb-c so we don't have a host of cables too.
it's wishful thinking but at the WWDC it would be nice for them to announce a way to use desktop apps on an M chip ipad
Can someone please tell me if I should get the nano texture glass if I only use my iPad for writing and notes for work. I would use it inside but I do religiously use paper like and I’m wondering that screen can replace the paper like ???
i want to see a battery test between the old pro's and the new pro's or at least, a comparison between the 11" and 13".
edit: also minimum brightness, lots of this new panel tech tests (tandem oled), and a deep dive into this new pen because it might be what makes people want an M2 Air or M4 Pro. I think the display stuff with like contrast, min/max brightness, etc. will push people over to the Pro but I'd really love to see it all tested.
OMG !!! It’s iPad time 😊
no one is talking about the bezel difference in pro and air 13 inch model
could you tell about that in the comments itself?
Pls
Epic hardware but it’s same question. When is the OS going to catchup? Really hope iOS 18 does because I would use this over a laptop any day.
Yep
can we use apple pencil 2nd gen for this new ipad air model?
Ordered the 11' Pro cellular this morning, just found out that it now only supports e- Sim here in the UK. That wasn't made clear in the advertising, luckily my carrier provides e-Sims.
Also it doesn’t ship with charger anymore if I’m not mistaken
Why is the iPad Air now the heavier bulkier model?
honestly i had regrets when i bought the first M series chip iPad pro. it was the 12.9 size and i thought i would be able to maximize its use. 3 years later of daily use, i found out its an overkill on the tasks i do with it. i will be sticking with it for i found no sense of upgrading to this M4. my M1 can still do the tasks i require from the tablet. even after 3 years of using my 12.9 inch M1 iPad pro, i still look for my MacBook Pro for more professional desktop tasks as the iPad is so limited.
Will the new Magic Keyboard work with the 4th Gen iPad Pros or just the new models? I hope it will; but, it probably won’t
Just new model because they need to realign the magnet for the sake of thinness
You want the 16gb of ram so that you can run the constant os updates they do each year. If I had it my way I’d stay at the original os and on get security updates. tech reviewers can choose the latest thing I don’t care I don’t need the extra features. I would stay at the same is and have a smooth seamless experience and not have to worry about the os using up all the ram.
I would love to see an iPad Mini with OLED screen. As much as I use my current Pro, I can’t justify replacing the keyboard and pencil just to get that OLED screen so I can wait to replace that. However the iPad I use the most (by far!!) is my Mini 6, and I would love that to see an update! Something with a bit more horsepower for gaming, but I doubt I could say no if they did come out with an OLED model at almost any price.
Just a shame that it will also need a new pencil as I’ve become so accustomed to swapping the pencil between devices to sign or mark up documents now!
XDR finally on 11 inch.... and its OLED :)
Good for people who liked the smaller form factor but it's $200 more than the MiniLED version.
very excited for that
@@fightnight14the 11 inch is the same price
Fingerprint bullcrap…
I wouldn't even consider upgrading but I want to use FCPX on my iPad. I have the 2018 with the new design but lacks the M1 of course.
guys i own an imac from 2017 which works pretty good but i need a portable device so what should i get between the ipad pro 13 inch and the macbook air 15 inch? considering i own an imac
Get the macbook air. It will serve you better... The ipad will frustrate you, i tried using it as a computer and gave up
So if I was going to get the iPad Air 5 for $649 I should just get the same Air 6 since it’s only $699 right?? It seems silly to go backwards since it’s basically the same price

Should I get an ipad 10 or ipad air with M2 ?
I just want to use it as a second monitor for my mac. Ipad 10 is cheaper by 20k but I’m worried about how long it will be supported.
Please give your suggestions
iPad 10 will be supported all the way to 2028 maybe
iPad Air m2 same as the MacBook Air m2
@@tayhome2023I just need an ipad to extend my macbook pro . Should I go for 11or 13 inch ipad air m2
My old iPad 8 still watches RUclips fine… 😂
If you have a 2018 Pro but you’re not a power user, would the new Air be a better upgrade?
Don't upgrade or get a used M1 pro for 120hz
iPad @ £350 for me, in fact typing from mine right now. Love it!
Never personally had iPad, had many iPhones, Apple Watch, AirPods Pro, MacBook and iMac and even some iPod.
I’m thinking of getting either the 11inch Air or 256GB 10th generation iPad with USBC Apple Pencil ✏️
I really like the silver version and have already ordered it.
Can someone help me. If I’m wanting to use a device for work - word email excel etc would you buy a MacBook Air or go for one of these with a keyboard?
Commenting here because I have the same question and hope someone answers! I would also like to start doing some light video editing, so I suspect it will come down to the best specs for my limited budget.
macbooks will have less restrictions, adding a keyboard is expensive here. just go with macbook for any serious work unless that serious work includes design/art
Went for the nano-texture screen and then cancelled my order and purchased the regular glass. I almost exclusively use my iPad indoors and for watching media, emails, photos, and PDFs, etc. Want to experience the full depth of the tandem OLED!
The biggest problem of iPad is iPadOS not the hardware. Imagine how wonderful if M4 iPad can running macOS.
Already ordered😂 stay golden
I had planned to buy the pro for my Auslan ( Australian Sign Language) Studies and future interpreting online. I was impressed by the pros audio and microphones but when I went to purchase they recommended the Air instead for my needs and said that it would be more than sufficient and that the pro would have more power and capacity than I would know how to use, do you think will work okay for what I need?
nano texture make it look GREY
Did anybody else notice that this one got rid of one whole camera that was on the last generation. As well as a quality microphone as they call it, the new one comes with four the old one came with five.
I ordered the 1tb 13" Pro with new Keyboard in black with the new Pencil too. The OLED screen and pencil with Rotation (as an artist/calligrapher) are very appealing and the form/weight, lighter than a decent sketch Pad and laptop to carry around was enough.
4:45 omitting wide-angle lens is dealbreaker for me. shooting and Viewing a WA photo on a tablet screen is satisfying
i'm very tempted to trade in my current ipad air for the 13-inch ipad air, but i just don't want to buy another pencil pro (i believe the current apple pencil can't be used in the new ipad air?)
cant wait for the JerryRigEverything bend test on a 13" ipad thinner than the ipod nano
If you could flip the keyboard all the way around to use it like a real notepad would be great. Especially as the ditched the Smart Keyboard Folio that could do exactly that.
I 'due' an iPad Prp upgrade but nothing here is tempting me. Will wait for the next one.
I have never bought an iPad... and it looks like I never will lol. Not unless it's the M5 on MacOS in about 5 years from now.
What's the spec of the M5? (j/k)
I considered getting a base iPad with the price drop the storage options are not the best.
Is the Magic Keyboard backlit ?
Yes!
Had an iPad Pro M1 then moved to a Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. Love it, keyboard not so much. REALLY DISLIKE the aspect RATIO on the iPads now for media consumption
To sum it up if I’m getting my first iPad for drawing/leisure purposes, should I go for the new Pro/new Air or I should stick to buying the M2 Pro? Anyone that can advise is much appreciated as I’m a tech idiot lol
Which is the best to buy iPad Air 2024 or iPad Pro 2022 ?
Is it just me or has the iPad mini also had a price drop in the UK? (After it going up a few years ago).
I still use my 10 year old iPad Air 2 everyday but I can’t justify paying 1200€ for the new pro maybe that will change after the wwdc in June or when the price drops next year
I was at my local bestbuy a few hours ago comparing all models side by side.. im impressed with the pro’s brightness and performance,I feel like it was smoking the iPad airs lol. And this is coming from an iPad Air 2 user, yes iPad Air 2 still works where I am watching and responding to this video..but no more updates from Apple of course..Yes planning to upgrade but as I was inside, took my time looking at the comparison and the price tags. Of course, I want the pro iPads either one but can’t justify the price of the m4 pro 13 inch even though I got $50 discount for being a my best buy member…I know what my needs are, and keep reminding myself not to break the bank and just use the price difference i save up to maybe buy some AAPL positions lol..initially before the press release, been eyeing the 13inch iPad Air m2 but I’ll probably go with the m2 11 inch iPad Air, it’s the best bang for the buck for the latest release and iPad lineup.. 10th gen is a few years old and it’s a steal but it’s a few years old now, a few more years and updates will be stopped so I’d rather go with the latest release..my daughter has iPad mini and it’s fast for her needs..I am only going to use it for music sheets, making music, and consuming movies and games once in while, portability is important too so I have another week maybe to convince myself to pull the trigger lol…Thank you so much for the video God Bless..from 🇺🇸

I’ve got a question for you. I’m considering buying the iPad Pro, but I want to put a matte screen protector on it. Should I opt for the nano-textured glass or standard? Budget is not an issue.
I’d save the money on the nano-textured glass and go with the standard screen. The screen protector would make the nano glass redundant.
If u plan on getting a 1TB or 2TB then yeah get the nano textured if not then don’t tbh
i have a nano-texture like screen protector on my iphone, don't waste your money and get the regular oled, its cheaper and in case you get tired of the washed out color contrasts you can always take that thing off
Specced a replacement for my 12.9 m1 iPad Pro 2 TB with the keyboard and pencil. Just short of 3k I mean SERIOUSLY
APPLE
Is pro motion really that important? Which is more important. Pro motion or OLED?
Pro motion makes the pixels of the screen refresh faster, meaning smoother scrolling, gaming, and also playback for 120hz recorded video is possible. Whereas the Air and base ipads are 60hz (still fairly smooth)
OLED provides the deepest blacks possible, making colors more vibrant. Oled also gets fairly bright compared to LCD, making it more useful when using outdoors or very bright conditions. With an LCD panel, blacks are still black, but it looks more like an extra dark gray instead of pitch black
Ultimately the choice is yours for what you'd find more valuable day to day. In my opinion most average consumers today would be fine with a base model ipad, unless they desired the larger screen, then I'd recommend the new iPad Air 13" for them.
I'd only recommend the pro model for wealthy designers that have been working in the Apple ecosystem for years
Such thick bezels for a 2024 model
I have finally decided to get an 11-inch iPad Air with 1TB of storage. Previously, I planned on getting an iPad Pro because only the iPad Pro models then had more than 256 GB of memory.
My current iPad Pro is an 8-year-old 10.5 inch with 256 GB of memory so the model I plan to get has three improvements:
1) faster chip
2) bigger display
3) four times the memory
Of course, if money were no object, I would get the new iPad Pro but with limited financial resources the one I chose represents the best value for money that suits my needs.
Of course, the marginal increase in performance with the M4 iPad Pro is substantial, but to me simply doesn’t justify the marginal increase in price after doing a cost benefit analysis. The marginal gain in utility for what I mostly use my iPad for - editing videos using iMovies - doesn’t justify the marginal cost.
As a matter of fact, to keep costs down, I’m not getting the cellular feature not the pencil nor keyboard.
Hmm but you’ll be downgrading from 120Hz
