iPad pro 11" Vs iPad Air 13" DONT WASTE MONEY 

Let me know what you think of the video!

This is the comparison video I have been hoping to see. I appreciate you showing the size difference. My iPad mini 5 has been great for the last 5 years but I’d like a wider option for spreadsheets. While I think LiDAR and some of the pro functions would be neat to check out, I’m mostly a causal user. Thanks for helping with the decision making process. I think I’ll probably go with the 11 inch iPad Air. And I was happily surprised to see Best Buy will give me half what I paid for my iPad mini as a trade-in.

this is the most sensible and methodical review for real consumers, talked myself out of buying a $1000 RU-vid machine lol. good video!

Loved this video. Very easy going yet informative. I originally purchased the M4 13” pro but exchanged it for the 13” Air. Biggest adjustment is no promotion but a larger iPad was the most important. Getting used to the 60hz and realizing that I’m enjoying it even more knowing that it’s a better value purchase.

Good stuff. Thanks for the comparison!

There is absolutely no way you only have 4k subs, buddy, your content is pure quality, you just earned a sub, keep up the good work!

This is like one of the best REALISTIC comparison videos! We get used to our devices and we will not compare them side by side except in the store 😅. And to be be honest the pro motion on the the iPad Pro is „too fast“ for me. I actually enjoy the slow swiping part. It gave me a headache in the store when I was swiping on the pro. Thanks for your video 😊

Solid review my guy. I'm considering purchasing the 13" iPad Air.

THIS! This is exactly the comparison I've been looking for! The only factors that have been pulling me towards the Pro are the brightness, and the speakers.But even though I love the Pro much more than the Air, I cannot justify the price difference.

Thank you, you really helped me made my decision. Last time I got the IPad Air and always thought why I didn’t get the ipad pro. Now I am definitely getting the new iPad Pro. I love my old iPad Air but always feel like it not enough for what I use it for and always regret not getting the iPad Pro.

I use my iPad as my notebook (Goodnotes, OneNote). I currently have the iPad Air 4th gen, and I am extremely bent on getting the iPad Air 13". That extra bit of real estate might make note-taking experience a lot better.

100% agree with you. iPad Pro is too expensive. And you can't even do the jobs that you do on Macbooks.

Picked up the 13 inch pro yesterday, its amazing and the keyboard is definitely worth it

Have you gotten a chance to try any cloud gaming? Just wanna know how the M2 chip does, if it’s any better or worse than the IPad Pro 1st gen :)

Thank you. I am trading in a 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 inch and have been struggling to decide whether to get an 11-inch iPad Pro M2, an 11-inch iPad Pro M4, or just go with the Air. I do note taking, occasional gaming, and media consumption (Netflix, Max, Disney+, RU-vid). I think I am sold on the Air! Now I just have to figure out what size!

Love this review.

Torn between 11in pro and 11in Air. Will use for notes as a network engineering major, media consumption, as well as a lot of PdF, excel, and outlook email as I’m also military and plan to do work task on it. Any thoughts? Great video by the way💯

I have M2 11” IPad Pro. Majority of the time I’m taking notes, use it as a planner, movie entertainment and occasional drawing, and Minecraft gaming. Figured the pro is more than what I need or paid for. When I spotted the M2 13” IPad Air, I really liked the screen size and seems a good fit. Wow. But….the masters program I’m going into this fall tells me I be using iMovie for editing videos. I already have M3 MacBook Pro 14” to use for that. I saw the 13” M4 and I’m torn by the price and it’s too much power for me I’d think. Any thoughts?

My God !! This is a great video ! Thank you my friend for your analysis, simple and effective ! From France ;) 🇫🇷

Just sold my 11-inch iPad Pro M1 with the 2nd gen Pencil for $400. Decided to upgrade to the new 13-inch iPad Pro. My main reason wasn't the performance but the screen size. I love the extra space for drawing, and the OLED screen blew my mind! Plus, planning to use it for at least 6 years, so getting the M4 is definitely a better move for future-proofing than the iPad Air M2. Excited for the upgrade! 😄📱🎨

Hello Jon, just i Wonder if ipad 11 pro M4 technology has changed your mind about your most favorite ipad (ipad mini 6)???!!!

amazing content my brother. Subbed

I’m sticking with my first gen iPad Pro 11”. For what I use it for it still does a good job. With prices continuing to increase I’d probably go for an iPad Air when my current iPad stops working.

great comparison that is actually sensible viable compared to other reviews

Excellent review👏

You are one of the very few showing off the 11’ M4 Pro. Thanks brother. I’m determined to switch from ‘18 12.9 to the new 11’ and do my photo and video editing. I have a large 16’ laptop and the 13 Pro is just big, right?

Great video!!! , after seeing a lot of videos about comparison, but the question is ; if I produce some reels, short videos, and a little photo edition, what iPad can u recommend, because I always see if im consumer iPad AIR and if i a producer then the pro, what do you think? THANKS!

Even I believe that purchasing maxed out machines, when you’re not going to use half of the those features or capabilities, doesn’t make sense. iPad 11” is something I’d go for.

Great to see & hear grounded comparisions between the various models. As much as I love new tech I can't justify $1000 when my Ipad M1 pro is still in pristine condition & more than capable of handling anytghing I throw at it.

I just got an iPad Pro m4 13”. It’s expensive, over the top and limited my software. But I already have a great desktop and use an iPad many hours every day for work. Nothing taxing but I appreciate an iPad that can work as a laptop and although unnecessary, having a really device to use makes me happy

Nicely done. Thanks.

I am in the same dilemma 11 Pro vs 13 Air, currently with 11' Pro 2020. But an important thing no one discusses, is sustainability of the investment. I use my iPads minimum 4-5 years and M2 is already 2-years old. So, I am worried how long this iPad Air will be supported with updates and whether after another 2 years it will become slow and clunky. As well as the base 128GB after a few years of use. M4 definitely has more years to live fresh and juicy. Glad to see other opinions.

I’ve got a 9th gen iPad that still works perfectly fine for me. The main reason I want to upgrade now is so my phone and iPad could use the same charger. 😂

I plan on getting the 13" device since I plan on using it for notetaking for college and studying for my actuarial exams. I like using two notebooks at once right now with paper/pencil, so I'm hoping the 13" size will allow me to do the same with split-screen.

As digital artwork (Painting/illustration)Did you prefer iPad Pro 11 M4 or iPad Air M2?

I traded a 2020 MacBook Pro I rarely used and my iPad 9th gen, to just use one device. I decided on the 13in air and can’t wait for it to come in.

I mainly use my iPad for drawing in Fresco and for Photoshop use, I would like to stay in the $1000 price range. Would you recommend the 11in iPad Pro or 13 inch Air?

I'm a heavy GoodNotes user - I mostly use my iPad Air 4 for note-taking for studying, classes and work. I owned the iPad Air 3 prior as my first iPad, but I passed it down to my brother since the first Apple Pencil is a pain.. 😂 Currently eyeing on that 13" iPad Air, that screen estate is enticing and I'd like to not have my hand feel uncomfortable when writing at the far right edge of the screen. 😬

This is the video i was looking for. I cant decide between these two (In 256gb theres no big price difference). I really want bigger screen but pro 13inch its just too expensive. I have in plan to draw and take notes a lot so i would like bigger screen more (air 13inch) but the main thing why i cant decide is that my hands are sweaty a lot almost all the time😅😅 so in everyday use touch id on air wouldnt work as good as it should and it would be frustrating. Face ID would resolve this problem but i would have a bit smaller screen. So i would like to hear some advice from you what do you think would be better? Should I still get the air 13inch? Thanks in advance!

Bought the 11 Pro. This is my 6th iPad going back to iPad 1. I wanted to experience the OLED display and hated the position of the FT camera on the last. Pretty amazing edition of the product. I think Apple hit a home run.

what would it be more worthy, to buy the ipad pro M2 in 11" or the ipad air 6 13"?? they almost have the exact price, but the pro one is better than the air, talking about the screen. despite this, im looking for a bigger ipad than 11" and i cannot afford the ipad pro M2 in 13". what would u recommend me? is the ipad air 13" worthy or for that price or it would be better to buy the pro M2 in 11"? (ty for the review, i was needing it since apple released the new ipads)

Honestly the biggest mistake is comparing them side by side which no one will do unless they go to an Apple Store. They each target a different market. I think the Air is great for most people. For me personally, I already had an older 10.5'' iPad Pro, it would have been a loss of pro motion and quad speaker sound. I was very disappointed with the 2 stereo speaker sound on the iPad Air 13 M2. A lot of people do like larger screens so it's good that it's now available on the Air. But again based on portability and just sitting around using it, I would recommend the 11''. If saving money is your only goal then it's a no brainer get the air. If you want a bit better and have the ability to spend more and future proof yourself then you cannot go wrong with the iPad Pro. This same discussion happens between the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro.

You need to review the difference between the iPad Pro M2 (2022) and the iPad Air M2 (2024). I am struggling to pick one! It would be my first iPad too.

Hey there! I have a question, for uni. and watching movie-shows yt etc. Which one should i buy; ipad air m2 11" or ipad pro m2 11" (all of them with pencil tho) ? In my country the ipad pro m2 11" is 5k more than new ipad air so which one is better for long term? New ipad is 2 years younger and it will be get more updated that's the two reason im stuck with it: m2 pro price and update stuff... 🤷🏻‍♀️ and also is it big enough 11"? I want to buy the 13" but the price diff is literally 10k its so much tho. I would like to state that the iPad I bought can be updated for at least 6-7 years and that I want to use it for a very long time without lag or other problems.

Really good review❤

Which one should I pick, I don't own a MacBook and will use it as a notebook, for watching movies and, a bit of editing too ?

Thanks for video...I think the iPad 11 is the best option for anyone who need to read, write, take notes, (in-academia) do observations in field work/hospitals...I conclude this after yachting your video..plz let me know if I am correct.

Thanks for your videos.. I’m going to purchase one of these devices Saturday. Still not sure which one.. I’m leaving iPad Pro.. I think the 13” may be too huge hmm I dunno tho.. I’ll see when I get to the Apple Store

How will the Pencil Pro perform on the Air compared to the Pro? I'm doing note-taking + math work, no drawing.

What is the difference between the iPad Pro four speakers and the iPad Air landscape speakers? I like the iPad Pro that I have with four speakers, because I listen to RU-vid music and lectures?

I liked the idea of investing in the macbook air as compared to these expensive ipads. You could do much more with the macbooks.

Which ipad should I buy 13 inch ipad air m2 or 11 inch ipad pro m4 for digital art and animation?????? And it will my primary device also Pls reply ❤❤❤❤

I had an iPad Pro from work until last year. To be honest, it was a €1000+ PDF annotator that I used to watch RU-vid on from time to time. For any "real" work, I have to switch back to my Mac anyway. I would sometimes like to have an iPad again, but the iPad Pro is just not worth €1000+ to me to watch a video on the train every now and then. I would have really loved a green version of the iPad Air, but the blue version doesn't look bad either. Either way, I'd rather wait for WWDC before I buy anything to see if they finally improve iPadOS.

This is the best review, I've watched like 20 videos on M2air/M4pro. Picked the ipad air, cellular, 13" 128gb. I'm not sure if I should've got at least 256gb.

quick question does only one speaker play up top and two on the bottom? for the ipad air 13 inch

The iPad is incredible, I am a graphic designer and I like to draw a lot, I use Photoshop, Adobe Fresco, Illustrator, among others. But these programs require a lot of RAM and for what the iPad offers in RAM, it makes me back away. The most convenient for artists who use the iPad as their main and portable tool to work would be the 16 RAM iPads, but the price is very high lol. Great Video! 😀 Blessings✨

I actually just returned my 13in iPad Pro 😅. I’m going to the the 11in instead plus it also has the oled display. The reduction in size should definitely be more comfortable plus I already have a 16in MacBook Pro M2 and don’t need another large device in my backpack weighing me down.

what would u suggest for someone who has a m1pro macbook pro and a not a lot of budget

I’m a student and as of next year I’d be allowed to take notes on a tablet Do you think I should go for the 13 inch m2 IPad Air with Magic Keyboard and pencil or should I go for a m3 MacBook Air?

I got the Air in purple last week, 11 inch. Upgraded from a 9th Gen ipad. (My 13 yr old daughter happily accepted it.)

Maybe good idea to wait until clear what Features iPadOS 18 brings us , maybe then the M4 makes the difference. Also as alternative to take iPad Pro 2022 into account , to save money before choose the Air 2024. In the Moment my iPad Pro 10.5 is still enough. I take never the newest Models but I choose the Pro. Was worth the Money to spent for over six years of use.Nice devices with Long Support.

Maybe a good question would be: Do you need any of these new iPads at all? That would shorten the whole video to 5 seconds.

You helped me return to reality. Now I can make the best choice for my purposes. Thanks👍🏽

Hi. Thanks for your video. I have some questions. I haven’t find the answer yet…May be you know…What about eye fatigue between the Air or the Pro (Oled)? Is one display better for the eyes? What is the good distance to keep between eyes and 11’ iPad Air and 11´ iPad Pro? This may be relevant for those of us watching movies in bed with an iPad.. Thanks😉

i'm a college student and i wan an iPad for digital art and note making and also for making animations. so for me 13 inch iPad air and 11 inch Ipad pro are around of same cost Can you suggest me which i should get ?

Hello. What is the size in height and width of the 11-inch and 13-inch screen? I can't find that information. Thanks in advance.

If i had 1299$ i would go for macbook coming with M3 chip 😂 btw nice video. Got information about these two ✌️

Very useful 🤝

Does the pencil work better for standard display or nano display ?

Can you read books with a 13 inch tablet ? How easy or difficult is it because 13 inch seems better for videos and 11 inch is better for reading and portability. What if we need both…do we have to decide one thing over the other ?

I probably wait for Black Friday or later but when Im thinking on getting the iPad Pro 13 inch with pro pencil and Logitech combo touch keyboard cover

I ended up getting the air 128gb in 11”. I wanted the pro but the cost difference is not worth it for what I’m going to do.

The thing is, there might not be a new one for a couple of years, so the last generation iPad Pro might still be a good value-except Apple has done it again with the new pro pencil. Can only be used on Air and Pro 2024 models.

Where did you get the wallpaper in the iPad Air?

According to the price, I like the 13-inch iPad Air, but still think its screen refresh rate is too low, considering that this year is 2024!

If apple added a touchscreen option macbook or air it would be a no brainer. If apple allowed macos to run on tablets that might balance things. Seems to me that apple is not willing to port macos to ipad or touchscreen to macbook to preserve a market for both.

I’m also confused about getting which one - 11 inch pro vs air. I am worried if the pro motion might really be evident since I have a 14 pro with the pro motion! Testing it out at the store made me feel like the pro motion is evident! But it could be a placebo effect! 😂 Since it’s my first iPad, want to be really happy with what I get!

i have the air 3rd gen(2019), i think this time i will go with the pro 11''. I have a windows laptop and i will wait to buy the mac mini m4(will be really cheap compared to macbooks).

The Pro has thinner benzels than Air 13"?

Was waiting for the new iPad 11 pro to come out, but OLED give me migraines. Not sure about PWM, perhaps also an issue. Bummed :(

I don’t care if I won’t take full advantage of the iPad Pro 13 in i have the M1 iPad Pro in. I love it I use it everyday over my iPhone when I’m home. The oled display itself is worth a upgrade OLED is king

Sir ipad pro 11 m2 or ipad air 13 (notes taking)

I am waiting till wwdc to get an iPad if pros get significant upgrade then getting air m2 but if they don’t I’m looking at the mini or switching over to android and galaxy tab

im an artist so only way for me to go is the 13 with 256 or more. been running into a lot of layer limitations with my 4th gen pro and yeah i could buy an air or whatever but if im gonna spend a lot of money i might as well wait and then spend more to get the best of the best.

Why would you not take the Air 11 inch?

iPad Pro all the way. Far superior in every way and no need to upgrade for a long time. The OLED display alone is worth every extra penny spent.

So the iPad Air is bigger than the iPad Pro?

Sir please reply Should i buy I pad pro m2 2022 11 inch Or i pad air 13 inches For online classes and for note making stuff

Excellence described

After watching your review, i think im gonna stick with my m2 12 inch ipad pro for three years more.

Does it have wi-fi ?

I got the iPad Air m2 because my m1 iPad Air doesn’t support the new Apple Pencil pro, and I do art. I got it and then realized it doesn’t work with the new keyboard, doesn’t have the new display, chip, everything (I oversaw the comparison site… gj me). And now I realized that the speakers are the same as well. Coming from the iPad Air m1 feels like nothing has changed at all, and as a cherry on top, the new pencil so far with its new functions is only supported in the notes app. Apps like procreate or ibisPaint don’t support any new feature yet. So in a sense, don’t be like me and inform yourself properly or you end up almost crying because of your own stupidity…

I bought the 256 11" pro. it's my first ipad.

As an Air 5 owner, the iPad Air is the sweet spot in the lineup. You get a laminated display, Apple Pencil 2 support, and for all intents and purposes the same CPU power as the Pro. I would say the only reason to go with the budget iPad is if you don't plan to do any drawing at all. I got the Gen 6 iPad for my first iPad in grad school for note-taking and the Apple Pencil 1 on a non-laminated display was really just not a pleasant note-taking experience. Until they get rid of that air gap, I don't see myself going back to that budget model. It's really hard to justify the iPad Pro, especially now with Macs running on the same chips with a superior OS. One consideration is if you can find a prior iPad Pro model, say the M1, on certified refurbished. That is a situation where I could go for it as then you get a premium device at a similar price point as the Air. At the end of the day though, it is still an iPad running an OS that is never pushing the chip.

I feel like the ipad pro still don't give a full M4 chip performance, since its still IOS

If only the iPad Air had 120hz the decision would be simple. For that amount of money still being 60hz is concerning. I have an iPhone with 120hz and an m2 mac but its only 60hz I use it on a 100hz monitor anyway. The few times I need to use 120hz I'm happy its there. But I'm just a student who uses 120hz for gaming and that's it lol. Is it worth it for notes app.

Buy any of these its a waste of money, my take is to buy a proper laptop for productivity.

You are not right that there is no world where an iPad should cost that much money... you've clearly never been to Apple-land. xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I want an updated mini, where the fuck is the mini pro

The education store is a little cheaper.
