13-Inch M2 iPad Air Review: The ULTIMATE iPad?

Are you an iPad Air or iPad Pro kinda person 🤔

“The camera system you won’t use.” love it 🤣

The only reason I’ve bought ipad pro’s in the past is because of the larger 13 inch screen. Now that the iPad Air has a 13 inch screen, I’ll never need to buy the pro version in the future.

The M2 iPad Air makes a pretty great secondary monitor, as well. Plus, you can still use it to perform iPad duties. Good option, for sure.

Crackin video, as always, Mark.

I am still on the fence about which iPad to get because I really want to wait for the next iPad mini. At the same time, when I went to the Apple Store, I kind of fell in love with the new 11-inch iPad Air model. For the longest time, I was wondering why they couldn't put the Final Cut app on the iPad mini. However, after having hands-on experience with the iPad Air, I realized that the mini would be too small to even interact with Final Cut on it to begin with. So, I think I'm going to end up getting the 11-inch iPad Air. It's still small enough where it's not as gigantic as the 13-inch model and it's not nearly as expensive as the iPad Pros. This video really helped. Thank you.

Just got one and so far so good.

Great video. Think I’m going to buy an iPad Air 13” it looks incredible and I’ll save a bit too.

Completely agree about the iPad Mini. There is something about the size and form about it that makes it such a pleasant device to use. I still own the original iPad mini and it still works! Of course it is stuck on iOS 9 I believe, but I LOVE being able to run some older games on it such as Flappy Bird and Zuma’s Revenge.

It's nice that you are giving the other ipads a fair chance instead of only favoring the pro.

Nice comparison; thx! How about the 2 M2 iPads? The new Air and the 6th gen Pro?

Great review! What about the sound in both iPad, do they sound the same or there is a different.

I'm using a 2021 M1 Ipad Pro 12.9 and still have a 2018 Ipad Pro 12.9 (had/has battery issues)--and def. not ready for an update but am watching the Air 12.9 because its now in the ballgame for future update--I need 512 storage (also use multiple external drives/photographer) and also want the magic keyboard since I tend to use in my lap (and Pencil since I use that daily but not for drawing except very basic sketches). I've now subbed to you and will watch--and check back after WWDC also since I feel the updates I want will come via software rather than hardware.

Great video just subscribed 😅❤ cheers buddy

Are you able to up date to the latest iPad iso? Cos am unable to lack of storage

Bought the iPad Air over the Pro to be able to use my Magic Keyboard. I did not need a new iPad given what I do with it but wanted an M series device to be able to take advantage of the coming AI features. I always go for at least 256 Gb storage. I do not know why but I do. It is a step up over my old iPads, very quick etc. I also went for the new Pencil Pro, another improved device. With iPads, I go for the 11” (I do have a Mini, although I could easily give it up), which is the most versatile in my opinion. Simply a great tablet for work and home. I use it 80% of the time. Just a great device.

Mark, I've not seen one review of the new camera position when using the iPad in the portrait position, could you show us how FaceTime looks . Cheers

For me it needs to be the size of the iPad mini, hopping for the iPad 7 soon. I use my iPad Pro 12.9 for movie

Loving my iPad Air M2!

My dilemma is now is choosing if I have a need to upgrade from my iPad Air 4th Gen to new iPad Air 13inch. I really like my 3 year old iPad Air and the only reason I will benefit is a bigger screen, in past I downsized from iPad Pro 12,9 first gen to my now iPad Air 4th gen and the reason was because my old iPad Pro 12,9 did bent little in the middle I’m so confused what should I do now 🤔
