2019 iPad Air REVIEW – NOT Pro Enough

And another one what's going on guys Carl here back with another episode a more Apple refresh time today we are taking a look at the good old iPad air 3 the 2019 iPad air which was announced of course in the same time as the iPad Mini video and just like the mini I thought

The iPad air was kind of near the end I didn't think that they would upgrade it because we did get the iPad pros last year but Apple does not forget and we have this interestingly placed iPad to add to the slightly confusing lineup I

Was lucky enough to use mine before the actual release date but here is my actual model that has just come so that is perfect as I can share what is inside we of course have a lightning to USB unlike the iPad pros this still uses

Lightning that isn't a problem but obviously we're hoping to see Apple just evolve into all things USB see we of course have user manuals and the charging brick and that is all you get inside of the box and we will start this

Puppy up pressing the on button in the corner and you can see right off of the bat the one thing that I kind of miss using an iPhone 10 s 10 s max the new iPad pros is touch ID there something is still very satisfying you can see that

We do have it on the bottom and we do have the same design as the old iPad pros so while this guys setting up let's kind of talk about the weird placement and pricing of this guy start to add 500 bucks 499 dollars for 64 gigs and Wi-Fi

If you choose to get the basic iPad which I think should be called the iPad air that starts at three hundred and twenty nine dollars stepping up to the 11 inch iPad pro that is $700 and of course you have these smaller brethren

The iPad Mini which kind of slots in the back here we'll just call that the small tablets I'll even throw my iphone over to that side and I guess what you get for this guy is these same internals that you find in the iPad

Mini we've got the 8 12 Bionic chip perches actually I guess found in my iPhone 10s mats as well so performance is on point it is one of the best mobile chipsets that you can get so performance with this guy whether you are rocking a

Bit a fortnight whether you are multitasking whether you are crunching hundreds of photos in Lightroom and this guy handles it without a problem and that's really good that's what you really want but it is becoming a bit of

An older chipset and the thing that I still don't understand like we saw in the iPad Mini is the actual design I wish that Apple updated these to maybe look similar to the iPad pro I get you have to keep them different in separate

Because you're paying more money for the pro and now you can essentially see the full spectrum and sadly once you start using the iPad pro it is like you have been getting the best of the best you've tried the real caviar you've flown first

Class you've had a taste of the good life and once you do it is hard to go back to anything else that isn't the pro and that's very sad because that just shows how good the iPad pro is and a lot of people say you can fully replace your

Laptop I still don't think you can especially if you're a dedicated video editor but for most people sure the iPad pro can be your primary device no problem it's got the gen 2 Apple pencil that snaps to the top and just like the

Use of this guy this thing is awesome and unfortunately with the iPad air 3 still find it hard to keep up with a name you are still using the Gen 1 Apple pencil still has the same accuracy but you do have to plug it into the bottom

To charge which still no matter what this looks weird but now when you're done using it just unfortunately like the iPad pro I cannot place this guy on top you gotta get a separate case or just put it in your pocket so you don't

Lose it but on the flip side if you haven't used an iPad pro and the iPad air 3 is the first tablet that you've ever used you will be completely fine with this guy and that's how good I pads are compared to any other

Public that's on the market and yes I get they are expensive but they are that much better than the competition the machining the build the experience the form factor of iPads I think Apple has just nailed it it's something that I

Don't think others can compete with or at least I think so and in no way is Apple sponsoring for me they're not giving me a thousands of dollars to say good things about the iPod it's just facts and I got to give them props but I

Can rag on them for this large large bezel which has to be improved the side bezels and even the bottom chin I can give to you but just that is what's annoying and it does seem dated especially now in 2019 stoked about the

Chipset happy to see good old touch ID again and not too thrilled about the design kind of sums up my review of the iPad air 3 if you have the extra cookies and the extra Bank spend that money on the iPad pro even the smaller iPad pro
