NEW M4 iPad Pro vs M2 iPad Air - Which iPad Should YOU Buy?

Apple just released the brand new M2

iPad Air and the wait for it M4 chip

iPad Pro which was a shocker so in this

video I'm going to go through the new

features and the specs of both of these

models as well as the pricing to help

you decide whether you should buy the

new air or the new Pro which is

jam-packed with a ton of features that

you might not realize are a really big

deal so let's jump right into it

starting with the new features of the

iPad Air well first of all we thought

this would have a brand new camera bump

design but no it still has the same

exact single camera we don't even have

that iPhone 10 style pill shape and of

course just as expected we don't have a

different display it's the same exact

display technology even though Apple

mentioned the really nice liquid re

display that's the old one but what we

do have is the new 13in size which is an

incredible value at

$800 such a good price while the 11-in

model is 600 same as before the nice

thing though is that this does start

with 128 gigs of storage compared to the

previous iPad Air which started at 64

that's definitely a nice bonus and we do

have the brand new landscape camera

which is going to make it so much better

for Zoom call s and anything else and of

course to finish it off we have the M2

Chip which is basically the same one

from the old iPad Pro so this is

essentially almost like an iPad Pro in

terms of the features and the specs

except that it does not have face ID and

it does not have promotion now with that

said let's get into the new features of

the M4 iPad Pro we have the same 11 and

13 in sizes except that that these

models are super thin 5.3 mm for the

11in and 5.1 mm for the 13in which is

basically the thinnest Apple product

ever and one of the most exciting things

for me is the brand new space black

finish just like Apple's new Macbook

Pros that is going to look incredible

especially since you can match it with

that new magic keyboard which is

actually a big deal in terms of which

one to choose and I'll get into that in

just a minute but the number one

standout difference between both of

these is that this one gets the new OLED

displays compared to traditional LCD but

not only just OLED it's tandem stack

OLED that's two of the same OLED panels

stacked on top of each other to

basically double the brightness this

iPad Air maxes out at about 500 nits of

brightness standard and HDR everything

500 limit while this one goes up to a

th000 knits standard all the time it's

going to be crazy crazy bright and 1,600

nits Peak for HDR content that is

absolutely mindblowing basically

matching the brightness specs of the

MacBook Pros however instead of being

LCD it's OLED so you get perfect blacks

everywhere where it's black it's

completely turned off the contrast and

colors are going to pop like crazy while

LD the display is always on it's going

to be looking gray when you turn off all

the lights such a big difference in

terms of displays but not only that you

have 120 HZ Pro motion technology so

it's going to feel super smooth at the

same time now no matter which iPad Air

or pro model you buy our sponsor ESR has

some of the best iPad accessories you

can get including their shift magnetic

case their digital pencil Pro and their

rebound magnetic keyboard case 360 both

of these cases come with a detachable

magnetic case which always keeps your

iPad protected like when you switch into

portrait mode which both of these cases

support including the shift magnetic

case which comes with this raised screen

view as well as a nine notches so you

could switch between nine different

angles for various use cases like

drawing with their digital pencil Pro

which has a 1.5 mm Precision nib for

smooth drawing as well as two ways to

charge either USBC or place and Go

wireless charging but my favorite is

their rebound keyboard case 360 which is

the perfect replacement for Apple's

overpriced magic keyboard giving you a

quick set magnetic stand with premium

laptop style keys that are back lit as

well as a multi-functional trackpad for

a laptop like experience and it even

comes with a secure magnetic clasp for

the pencil and you can order any of

these ESR iPad EX accessories today

but now let's get into that brand new M4

chip keep mind M4 versus M2 that is

going to be a big difference because we

know the M3 chip in the MacBook Air and

the MacBooks was a pretty decent

difference it wasn't that big of a boost

the M4 takes it to another level with a

brand new design based on tsmc's n3e

node which is supposed to be a lot more

efficient and on top of that you get an

additional two efficiency cores in the

M4 chip so that's a 10 core compared to

an 8 core with the M2 of course we also

have the 16 core neural engine for AI

with up to 38 Tera flops of npu

performance that's very exciting going

to do a lot of AI features with

everything that Apple showed off in the

new Final Cut and the new log Pro using

all of that Ai and machine learning and

they also mentioned that this has 20%

better thermal performance which is

needed because of that thin design they

even said that the Apple logo is made

out of copper for better heat

dissipation I mean they went all out on

the iPad Pro they also updated the

camera it is still the same 12 megapixel

main camera but they've removed the

ultra wide which is very interesting I

think they just didn't really have much

use for it they also updated it with an

Adaptive true tone flash so when you

scan images or scan documents it takes

multiple photos puts them all together

for a really high quality scan and on

top of that they also doubled the

storage so 256 gigs on the iPad Pro

compared to 128 both models were doubled

compared to the previous models but keep

in mind that if you want to outfit the

iPad Air with the same 256 gigs you have

to pay an extra $100 so in terms of the

11in model this is going to be

$700 compared to

$1,000 so the question is is it worth

spending $300 more for the M4 iPad Pro

in my opinion heck yes spend the extra

300 there are so many features built in

with the M4 chip that's going to help

with resale value and of course

performance you have 120 HZ promotion

you have the tandem OLED the best tablet

display

in the world it is definitely worth it

in my opinion and on top of that you

actually get a couple of new products

you have the apple pencil Pro which is

brand new in only

$129 it's outfitted with a ton of

features including most importantly find

my support so you're not going to lose

it anymore with a squeeze gesture you

can roll it with the gyroscope that is a

must but you might not know this but you

can get this on the iPad Air as well so

in that case that's not really a deal

breaker in terms of which one to choose

but the new magic keyboard is because

that magic keyboard is only available on

the new M4 iPad Pro and that magic

keyboard is basically twice as good as

the current one which is supported by

the iPad Air first of all it has a full

function row it has an aluminum bottom

portion with a trackpad that has haptic

feedback just like their MacBooks the

trackpad is also larger it has a brand

new hinge design so it's even thinner in

my opinion that magic keyboard is so

much better and guess what you can get

it for the same

$299 as the old outdated much worse

magic keyboard which is supported by the

iPad Air so with all of that said here

are my thoughts on which one you should

buy well first of all if you want that

awesome new magic keyboard for a great

price you have to get the iPad Pro and I

would definitely recommend spending the

extra money for all of those features

like the M4 chip the performance the

displays the thinness everything is so

much better with Thunderbolt on the iPad

Pro however the iPad Air actually has

the 13in model don't forget about that

because you can get it for a killer

value only

$800 or $900 if you match the storage to

$256 that means you can save

$400 compared to the 13-in iPad Pro and

for that amount of money if you really

just want the large display with the new

Apple pencil Pro for drawing or whatever

else I would say save the money that's a

huge savings and it's nice that apple is

letting you use that apple pencil Pro

but honestly to me I'm a sucker for new

Apple silicon and new amazing features

like the display I think there's going

to be a world of a difference in terms

of the display quality it's going to be

night and day especially with

reflectivity likely being better on the

iPad Pro and all that contrast with the

tandem OLED that by itself you're going

to experience daily and the promotion

smoothness you're going to experience

daily because think about it this iPad

Air still has a 60 HZ display so even if

you get the new Apple pencil Pro it's

not going to feel as smooth on the iPad

Air as it does on the iPad Pro with 120

HZ promotion so keep that in mind as

well but regardless of all of that if

you are on a budget don't just go all

out and take out a loan to get the iPad

Pro live within your means and if both

of these are too expensive for you well

Apple just reduced the price of their

iPad 10 to only

$349 that's 100 bucks off that is a

great deal if you just need a good

basically 11-in budget iPad that's also

great so hopefully you guys enjoy this
