Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “NEW iPad Air 2022 Unboxing + Review!”.
What’S going on guys, it’s your average consumer and today we’re going to be checking out the brand new ipad air along with a few other things. The ipad air has been recently updated to have even more power, so we’re going to go over everything that you need to know. First, let’s check out what’s inside of here, and we got a couple of extra accessories. So, let’s pop it open all right here we go bang, i’m actually pretty excited uh, because they’ve got a new blue color. They had blue previously with the previous ipad air, but this is a different shade, which i’m all for all right.
So we’ve got a few things: we’ve got the new ipad air, oh new, smart folio. So this is the case that blue is looking good carl, you like that. Yes, let’s go and, of course, the magic keyboard. This is the white version and, of course, the second generation apple pencil. Now, of course, this is very much like the previous version, so a lot of the old accessories will be able to work for it. Let’S pop this off and let’s see oh baby, this is that’s a nice blue.
Oh i like that close. No, it’s somewhat similar. Now we got to pull it out. [ Applause, ] jay, i’m not even going to ask for yours.
I know what happened you fixed your old, your broken iphone, yes, but but it’s it’s not from apples! Oh well, let’s see what that looks. Like jay, oh, i mean it’s more saturated now i got ta go get my install third party uh, oh you’re, right jay. This is a little bit more blue, oh yeah, and carl carl either way i didn’t know they fixed iphones and gave you new shades of color. So congratulations, jay! Yours is one of a kind, but this blue is absolutely awesome.
I like this a lot. This is a very, very nice blue. If you’re curious about what else comes inside of the box come on. You know the deal you guys, we got some paperwork. Do we get blue stickers, though? Do we get like a really nice blue missed opportunities, but you do get a sim ejector tool, some ipad air paperwork and, of course you get a usbc, cable and the power brick. So all the stuff, you would expect from an apple unboxing.
You’Ve got all right here now you might be asking what’s so special about this ipad air. What did apple change honestly, not a lot. We’Ve got a new color, of course, but this thing also has the new m1 chip that apple’s putting in everything at this point. What’S what’s missing the m1 chip? That’S coming j, real, quick, that’s color! Take it easy, but that m1 chip is in almost all of apple’s devices.
Now the ipad air is no different, so we’re looking at huge performance upgrades for this, but what’s interesting, is that the ipad pro their more expensive biggest model that one has the m1 chip as well, so like. What’S the difference between something like this and the ipad pro right? Well, we’re going to talk about that a little bit later and hopefully help you guys make a decision on. Do you want to spend more, or is this all you need we’ll talk about that, but really quick. I want to go over some of the other things that we’ve got.
Of course we got this new smartfolio case. Pretty blue. This is really blue, but man.
This is clean. I like this, and this thing is the same size as like the ipad pro the 11 inch. They both got 11 inch displays, so a lot of it feels the same.
Of course, a big difference is going to be the camera system. As you can see, this has a single one uh. The ipad pro has, i think, the ultra wide camera lens, as well as a flash and lidar scanner, but when it comes to the magic keyboard, this is the exact same magic keyboard that you would use with the ipad pro because they have similar dimensions. They can both use it with no problem.
You’Ll notice that, with this, it still has the large cut out. So you still got that big cut out in case. You were using this with the ipad pro, but the air fits it just fine. You can still use the camera all that good stuff, oh, that combo is kind of nice got white and blue. I like that. That’S clean, but really quick. Let’S just take a quick look at what the ipad air is and what it’s about. It’S got the same design pretty much as the pros and, of course, as last year’s model, you also have that fingerprint scanner up here with touch id in the power button.
This has dual speakers. You’Ve got the single camera in the back uh usb c port. At the bottom, it’s not thunderbolt um, that’s in the pro, but for the most part this is pretty much last year’s, but with a new coat of paint and, of course, that m1 chip, but i’m thinking so far i’ll spend some time with it and i’ll. Let you guys know where i feel like it stands amongst the ipad, lineup and all right guys now, it’s time to give you my thoughts on this guy right here, the new ipad air.
Now this is a device that i feel like is really geared towards the average consumer. It’S got a ton of similarities to the ipad pro, but it doesn’t give you all the belts and whistles of the ipad pro, but it gives you the power now. What exactly do i mean by that? Well, this thing has the m1 chip, so any apps or anything that you would throw at it chances are it’s going to no no chances are. It is going to be able to handle all of that, and it’s going to be useful for years and years and years and what i mean by it doesn’t come with all the bells and whistles of the ipad pro is that it doesn’t have the pro motion Display uh the quad speakers, the screen isn’t quite as bright 500 nits compared to 600 nits. Now i personally feel like a lot of the features that this thing is missing. Compared to the pro are things that i think tech enthusiasts would come to enjoy like the promotion display.
I’M telling you it’s absolutely an awesome feature, but is it a feature that everyone’s willing to pay extra money? For? I don’t think so. I kid you not. Over the weekend my dad gave me a call, told me he’s looking for an ipad to buy, wanted my recommendation on which one he should get and his biggest requirement was that he wanted something that was future proof.
This is a man who is still rocking the ipad too. Yes, he he’s like yeah, it’s a it’s getting a little bit old, it’s not being able to download all the apps these days. So i need an upgrade.
Shame on me for not upgrading him like years ago, but that was his biggest requirement and kudos to apple for making products that can last that long and honestly, that’s what the m1 is all about with this chip, i can foresee him using this ipad for a Really, really long time now will my dad notice the pro motion display. Probably not, is he gon na notice that this thing has stereo speakers instead of quad speakers, probably not, and while this might not have face id, it still does have touch id. So if you want to get into the tablet, you can still do that pay for things.
You still have a nice secure way. I really enjoy touch ids, so i’m not mad at this not having face id, i think touch id is still an awesome option. Now when it comes to the ipad lineup, where exactly does the air fall? This one, i kind of view as the true base model ipad.
If you go for anything else, you’re kind of looking for something in that realm. If you go for the standard ipad you’re like listen, i want an ipad, but i don’t really want to spend a lot of money on it. So you get the basic ipad, that’s where you spend the least amount of money you go for the mini.
If you know you want a small tablet, you want a small ipad. Obviously the pros, if you’re enthusiasts you’ve got special needs. You want the best of the best, but this is kind of what everyone’s looking at as a starting point. And unless you have like a particular need, then you kind of look at the other ones in the lineup. But i feel like the air is where it all really begins. It can handle all the things that the pro can do. Just minus some of those few touches that just upped the experience a little bit and considering the air and the pro have a starting price difference of 200 bucks. I think a lot of people will opt for this, since it’s just the more affordable option, although i will say i do think it sucks that the base model comes in at 64 gigs. What are we doing? 64 gigs is definitely not enough.
I think 128 would have been ideal, but you know this is a tablet, so you might not be loading a ton of different apps on here. So i still think that this is the better option for the folks who want a powerful ipad, but don’t care about all the little extra features that make the pro pro so do i recommend the air? Absolutely. We know this thing is a powerful tablet.
It’S got the power, it’s got a good looking display and the speakers sound good, so the overall just experience using it is definitely where should be, and i think the only other difference what the cameras i mean. Who cares? Am i right like really that about wraps up this video guys? Hopefully you enjoyed it if you did be the cool guy girl that gives this video a thumbs up? Uh one thing: oh, i guess we didn’t talk about battery but 10 hour battery life ipad batteries are always solid. So don’t even worry about that.
It’S good stuff, uh and i’ll catch you guys in the next one. Until then, it’s your average consumer. I want to know what you guys think. Would you like? Do you guys just want the best of the best or do you want what works and you can live without having certain features, let me know with a comment down below i’ll catch. You guys in the next one till then it’s your average consumer.
I mean this thing is blue. That’S all you really need to know right, just buy it off of the color .
