  1. Thanks bro ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  2. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEOOOO!!!!! im so happy right now. I have been looking for someone to test IpadOS 27 on an older generation ipad and you are the first to do it! I have the same ipad as you but I wanted to know if i should get a new one or just keep my M1. Im most likely going to upgrade to the M3 ipad to save some money. Thank you so much for making this video, it helped so much!

  3. Great video I know two things now 1 I will be updating to 27 and 2 I’m keeping my m1 air for a while thank you

  4. You gave much more highly-useful information on your video than the humble title suggested. I am impressed, and very grateful for your insight and for sharing it.

  5. For general tablet usage, M1 is more than capable. 8 gb ram is overkill for iPads in my opinion. The newer iPads mostly have the same everything as the M1 but a newer chipset. If you have a M1 iPad Air with decent enough storage, it's a great machine even today and even after a year or two !
