I’ve been using the new M2 iPad Air as my go to tablet and it got me thinking why would anyone buy the new M4 iPad Pro over an M2 iPad Air. The M2 iPad Air has a lot going for it, but who is the iPad for and what exactly are you getting when you buy an M2 iPad Air?

I love my brand new iPad Air M2 13”. I wanted the 11” but since I hand down my iPads to my hubby, he insisted on the 13”! I also got the 256 gb. I’ve had ipad pros and my 6 year old pro compared, I have no complaints with the M2 Air!

@jerrymildredpetersen3177 2 месяца назад

First time viewer here. Good stuff! Loved the “ran out of ink” explanation for the washed out colors on the cases. 😂 Finally a 13” iPad that doesn’t crush the bank. My only wish is that it used the new Magic Keyboard. I need to buy one anyway since I’m coming from an 11” M1 air, so a better one would make the crazy cost a little easier to swallow. One thing I’ve noticed that I haven’t seen in any reviews is that the pencil magnets seem much stronger. Probably because there are two now that straddle the camera. And it’s about time they put that camera in the right place.

I just got the pro and my dad now has the 13” air for an early Father’s Day gift (he’s 75 and wanted to have a bigger on screen keyboard when he has to type anything 🤷🏻‍♀️). The screen is great and it just seems so much like mine I really started to wonder. However, I’m a visual artist and animator so I figured I would benefit from the differences. I’ll be using it mostly with my sketchboard pro and apple pencil but you are definitely tempting me with the Magic Keyboard. Maybe this is the time I will make that leap. And this time I went with the magnetic “paper type” screen protector instead to see if I liked it and so far I’m pleased. There always seem to be subtle differences in the paper/matte screen protectors but my last one was applied day one and never had to replace-not sure why I don’t go through them as often as many others but I’m interested to see if I enjoy having the ability to remove for impactful viewing. 🐬

my iPad Air air M2 is facing heating and battery drain issues. I have a previous ipad 9 it runs way more in terms of battery. In Air whenever I used 3-4 apps it heats up quickly especially in the case of freeform app. I tried playing a few games and the battery drains very fast and heats up like I can't even hold it up. Tried resetting it and other force restart but nothing works. Should have waited for the reviews as there are threads on reddit facing similar problems. Is anyone else facing the same?

And my time with the iPad Air M2 11 inch not only did the screen for my liking completely suck but also the only 60hz display was making me nauseous. Other than that the iPad Air is amazing. The only reason I chose the iPad Pro was the promotion 120 hz display. For example, I was using my phone 10 times more than I was the iPad Air due to nausea of the terrible screen

@OGUfohunter Месяц назад

@@Rinnara21 I finally bit the bullet and bought the new 13 inch iPad M2 in starlight. It's a nice bit of kit with a huge screen and I'll keep it but being honest my OnePlus pad is better. The OnePlus pad seems to have a better display and it definitely has better speakers with quad speakers. It also has 144hz motion compared to 60 with the air. It also costs half the price of the iPad. Having said that the iPad is good but if I was you I'd buy a really good refurbished iPad Pro with the M1 chip instead of this Air. You'd probably get one for the same money as the new air and you'll get a much better display, quad speakers and also this will get the Apple intelligence update as well later this year. By all accounts iPads with the M1 chip onwards will get the update but not all phones will strangely. I just bought a new iPhone 15 plus not long ago and annoyingly that will not get the Ai update. The 15 pro and Pro max will get it but no other iPhones. 👍

I have the iPad Air 11” M2. It’s all you say it is, not worth the extra $$$ for a pro (IMO). I use it to stream content and some online service tools related to my line of work. My old Air 2 was more than capable, but a replacement battery was needed and not worth the cost. I do not agree with the screen protector at all. One small scratch on my Air 2 in ten years, without a screen protector. As to the apple keyboard ? Why ? I got a TypeCase keyboard. Can swivel it and well over half the cost of the one with the fruit on it. … WHERE THE F%$# IS THE DOLPHIN EMOJI !

@sbam936 Месяц назад

I upgraded from an iPad Air 2 as well and also never used a screen protector on it with only 1 scratch. But I did have a case that when not using covered the screen. One valuable lesson I learned from my air 2 is to upgrade the storage … I had upgraded to 64 gig storage on my air 2 and that’s the only reason it was able to last me for 10 years. I only recently started to hit the storage limit so with that in mind I got the 256gig option on the M2 Air. I do wonder if I should have gone with 512, but 256 is X 4 storage my last iPad.
