The M3 iPad Air was just released a few months ago but how does it stack up against the M4 iPad Pro? is it actually worth the price of the M4 pro over the M4 Air?

Which iPad do you think is ACTUALLY worth the money?!
Oled ? Does air have it or not? If no you'll immediately feel the difference
Also for 120hz , you might not feeling the difference immediately but once you used 120hz for say a month , you're never going back to 60hz , that 60hz diffrence will be visible
Sermon???
I love your videos and they give real world experience to the table. The one thing that I don’t like is the fact that you downgrade people who want to use the iPad as his or her main computer. The fact is the iPad Air or the iPad Pro is able to replace a basic users computer needs and yes that involves video editing if they way. The statement of why would you be using the iPad as a video editing computer is as simple as most people cannot afford to buy more than one computer and the iPad can be that 2-1 computer that is used for everything. I use it edit my videos, photos, and write all the time on it. LumaFusion is the video editing app that is best suited for the iPad personally and the choice on how someone decides to use an iPad or MacBook is truly up to them. Maybe you should not put little jabs in putting them down for a money issue. Just saying from a person that cannot afford to have two or three computers.
крутой ролик, наконец то кто то в обзоре айпада поговорил про книги.
I fall in love with ur honesty.
This is the exact trade I'm making right now, sending my 11" M4 Pro back in exchange for the M4 13" Air, I've got the Air and compared them and it's worth it IMO
it depends on what you're doing, I write a lot, and the only thing I need is pro-motion display and that 120 hz refresh rate…so looking at it like that…the iPad Pro 10.5 (second gen) is plenty amazing and much cheaper than either of these
I mainly want to use it for digital art in procreate, and also for gaming. Right now I'm thinking about the air m3 13 inch with 512gb. It costs around 1600 along with the pencil pro. Is it enough or me or should i start thinking about the pro?
Battery life on the air is terrible
this is a real honest review I am waiting for. walang palabok just facts 😂
I almost purchased a 13 Inch 256g M3 air but found a brand new 11 inch 256 m4 pro for the same price at Sam's Club. It was a no brainer. The screen and 4 speakers are a better experience on the M4 Pro compared to the m3 air and at the same price I feel really good. Feeling good about your purchase is part of the deal. I would have settled for an M3 Air, but I'm very happy with the M4 Pro at the same price.
Because you want to be different and get more attention. Idiot.
I’m a crafter I use different apps and need a bigger screen to work with in the go like Canva and Creative Fabrica and I thank you for your honesty it helped me to make my decision
If I wanted a keyboard I’d buy a computer.
Your comparison and stating the obvious facts are just what 99% of us need to hear. Editing on MAC mini is also a great advice. Amazing review. Really helped me chose and save money. Amazing video but even more amazing and spot on advice. Just fantastic 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
I just got the M3 Air, but was considering the pro since I had my eyes set on that, but in all honesty, I think a great poing was made here.
Unless its your work, editing or some power usage, youre spending money on a Pro at the equivalent of a Macbook Pro, which at that point you really have to evaluate if you shouldn't just get a laptop. My PC is pretty powerful so I dont need all of that, and any work that I have, the program doesn't take up much space or power, so the Pro is kind of not needed, and yes Apple needs to stop with this 60hz nonsense in 2025.
For a medical student the air 13 is better for a games and entertainment choose the pro one
So if they were both the same price you would always pick the iPad air ?
All honesty iPad Air should have at least a 90 Hz display. It would be so much easier for me to be like yeah this is the perfect medium ground for people as well as the Mini. You know what the iPhone iPad iPad Air should have 100 Hz and a mini should have 90 Hz.
Thanks man! Great review. This helped me a lot of choosing the right device. I‘ll go with the Ipad Air 13 M3.
I need your advice. I'm undecided between the iPad Air M2 and M3 (the cameras and screen are the same). Do you think it would be a good idea to get an iPad Air M2 instead of an M3 in December 2025?
I’m trying to decide between the air m3 or pro m4, I don’t do video/photo/music editing. I do watch Netflix on my currant pro, of course there is big difference in price.
So glad I found your review. I am trying to decide exactly between the 11” pro and 13” air right now, and one of my main concern is use for preaching. Thank you, helped me decide on the air. Now just gonna wait for Black Friday.
It’s cheaper…sure.
What about note taking .. any diff?.
Sorry but I really do rush things 🤣 I think I'd still want the Pro even though I also want the Air. Maybe I'll video edit in there someday. I don't know. We'll see lmao.
Many thanks Jon! I did what you suggested about 4 months ago, getting iPad Air 13 and also the Mini 7 (fits in my cargo pockets). I am set for at least 4 years. Your advice is spot on… and a blessing!!🙏👏
Currently trialing an iPad mini and an 11” iPad Pro. I’ve owned both the 13” and 11” pro, but never owned a mini. The convenience alone of the iPad mini is worth the compromise. I use my iPhone less since getting the mini. Trying to see how the iPad Pro compares day to day. If that thing sits, it’s going back. Not sponsored, but the MoFT dynamic folio is a game changer. iPad Pro 13 got sold because it sat. Also, let’s go pastor! Working my way up. Haha
I have one of those big iPads from 2015 or 16 that’s like 7 inches or something. What one should I upgrade too
You said it better than anyone on the internet.
Consumers get smaller ipads, producers get bigger ipads.
The only video i needed to see 😂♥️
Laptop replacement 13” screen with the keyboard case….which is better, iPad Pro 13”” or iPad Air 13”???
Hii quick question I’m currently studying Labor Economics and Industrial Relations, and I’m torn between these two tablets. Based on my field of study, which one do you think I should buy?
I have an 11 inch iPad Air M3 but I’m considering swapping it for iPad Pro 13 inch M2. I want the larger screen and I really dislike the finger print unlock on the Air. I can swap out my device and not pay any extra. What are your thoughts?
i just bought the ipad air m3 on amazon, its amazing especially coming from an ipad 8. i got the M3 256 gb for 550 dollars, such a good deal.
I know this comparison isn't about all the iPads, but I would draw everyone's attention to the iPad Mini. It's a solid choice as almost capable of everything that the Air can do, with a £100 cheaper price tag. Another advantage that there is no urge to buy a keyboard as it doesn't want to be a laptop replacement. An Apple Pencil would, however, release it's full potential. If you use it only for note taking, a cheaper 3rd party pencil will do.
Do you perform exorcism?
120HZ >>60HZ
OLED >>IPS
Thank You
I think this is a very fair on your recommendations, the iPad Air fits a good 80-90 percent of a buyers criteria. I myself fit in this category as well. Buy I’m so used to 120hz on my pro iPhones that every time I see a 60hz display, it actually hurts my eyes, I myself want for the Pro model 11 in
The iPad Pro 13 inch covers all the bases Better refresh rate, better screen, also Face ID , don’t want to be the person that gets the cheaper iPad Air and still longs for a pro, will just wait till I can afford what I want , my 2016 iPad still works, although the battery and updates are not what they used to be
Once you go 120Hz, you'll never go back
Please stop doing comparison videos with different size devices
