I Built the CHEAPEST Apple Intelligence Ecosystem! 

I think the m1 iPad Pro would be the move. I’m about to release a video today comparing it to the m4. Also wanted to thank you for your awesome comment. You’re one of the RU-vidrs who inspired me to start my channel.

Last year in September I bought a base line brand new in the box M1 Mac Mini for the equivalent of $331. It's probably the best value item I have ever bought.

I purchased the M1 Air 5 shortly after the new M2 Air was released, and got it at a terrific price. It's an excellent device.

I think Apple are being incredibly slow in their release of apple intelligence. It is a bit frustrating. Especially knowing they are releasing better photo editing processes. Great video Buddy. Love your channel.

thanks for this video. Very informative. based on the use cases you covered, the M4 Mac mini fits me perfectly.

I have apple intelligence on my iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air! 15 pro max, M1 iPad Pro, M1 MacBook Air

When it's finally released, I'll be getting the M4 Mac mini

That is the price but the Mac Mini is missing the peripherals so that is not is the final price. Plus you don’t need high end peripherals for the Mac Mini depending on what are you doing with it. It base on each case scenario.

personally i think using the iPad pro with the m1 chip is better it has face id and everything it's fast enough and also you can use it as a screen paired with the m1 mac mini that's kinda all you need

Curious if you are sticking with the Surface Pro 11? Would love to see an update on how your Snapdragon Windows vs. Mac sojourn is faring :D. Great video, thank you!

Only my 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro supports it, but that’s fine. And I’m glad it’s the one, because I want to keep using a few more years. I don’t really care if my iPhone SE3 supports it. iPad is likely to be what I upgrade to support Apple AI, but probably not until 2025, when current (or older) supported Air or Pro models get cheaper. M2 iPad Air likely choice.

What would be a good laptop I can get for scripting and computer science ? Budgets would be 1,5k and under

Gary I would love to hear your thoughts on if a person can only afford one device (say up to $1000) that supports Apple Intelligence should they focus on a iPhone or a Mac? Put another way how will AI (likely) be more useful for the average person, mobile and always with you or aiding a higher level computing? I just bought a M1 Mini with 16 GB of RAM off eBay for $175! My plan is to use as a hold over (to replace my 2018 Mini) until the Mini gets the M4.

I have a 2015 MacBook Air and phone 14 and a ten gen iPad. I’m so ready for a feature I don’t really want or see myself use. I’m gonna wait till it’s all mainline then I guess I’ll have the option. Though I can update my phone yearly that’ll be the first to get AI for me I guess.

I’m probably going to be buying a new iPad Air or a new 11-inch iPad Pro M4 (256 gb). But we’ll see. The renewed ones have great prices. Sadly I don’t live in the US and shipping an iPad Air renewed for example maybe close to the price of a new iPad Pro M4 base model. I will keep looking for deals! Maybe there is a way! Thanks for this video. Always watching your cheapest and/or best Apple ecosystem videos.

I've already got the m2 macbook air, m2 ipad pro and I'm looking to upgrade my iPhone 14 to the 16 Pro, so I'm ready for the AI even though I don't think its important.

The price on the iPad is not bad I thought it’d be more

Love ur videos they are very helpful

I only have my iphone that can run apple ai due to buying a macbook pro about 3 months because the m chip launched at somepoint I am going to get a macbook pro.

you're channel It's the best.

My Apple AI is telling me to use the $1600 to buy Apple stocks instead of the minimal ecosystem if everyone else need to buy M series devices 😀.

Make the cheapest apple ecosystem period no need for software support just apple

This is what I was waiting for lol

Pretty good idk why they don't have APPLE INTELLIGENCE on non pro 15 series dunno why Btw awesome vid bro Love your work

I have an m1 iPad Air and a m1 MacBook Air so I think I’m good for now need a new phone currently got a 12 pro and my 2019 27 inch 5K imac

Wait you tell me I lost 1000 bucks on my m1 iMac lol.

*My iPhone 15 is now useless.* 😭😭

Nice video

While supplies last….WALLY WORLD is selling the Brand New base iPad Air 5 M1 for $399 and New base M1 MBAs for $649….as of July 2024…..

Just say no to AI

Cries in European Union

M1 Mini sucks for various reasons, got for the M2 Mini

Ip 16 plus, Ipad Air M2. No Max! Waste money! M1 ipad air waste money, front camera stupid placement, ipad 10 better. Ipad Pro waste money! Ipad Air M2 can do all. Trade old get new. Don’t keep unused items! Battery life important 60hz ENOUGH!!! Mac mini? Buy windows Mini PC with add ram, and 2k 100hz monitor or external monitor are better. Even cheaper below 400usd compare to mac mini.

I have yet to find out what AI is good for. I could tell you horror stories about relying on ChatGPT; it's ripe with crap and bulls%^&*.. Siri has always been, is, and continues to be, a complete joke that can't sort out the simplest of instructions or requests. So... NO. NOT ON YOUR LIFE. I sure will NOT be buying a new phone that costs twice what a Mac Mini costs, while simultaneously delivering a tiny fraction of the capability. I will NOT be downgrading my 2017 10.5" iPad Pro to an M1 iPad Air that has 2 fewer speakers, half the display refresh and half the I/O speed.
