Is the iPad Air 5 really a defective product?
Hello everyone
, I'm Apple Dad. We finally got the iPad Air 5.
Taiwan is a relatively late market,
but now if you
want to buy the Wi-Fi version and the 5G version,
you can buy
it. This time, because I was in a hurry
, I still asked Allen in Central, Hong Kong to
buy this purple iPad Air 5 for
me. Today, in this video,
we
will roughly compare the
speed, running points,
and even There are still many flaws mentioned by many people
. Of course, the most people are asking whether it
is the M1 version compared to the previous iPad Air 4th generation or
the current iPad Pro. Which one is more suitable for you?
Our video today will
discuss it. I mentioned that
you bought a new iPad Air
and then bought the M1 version.
Of course , I hope it can be used for a long time
. At this time, it is recommended that
you protect your iPad well
and choose a better quality protective case
. Today's sponsor
is
ESR, which specializes in protective shell accessories.
They have a variety of styles for you to choose
from. Today's focus is on two of them. The
first is the Youtouch double-sided clip series
. There are many different colors to choose from.
Some More special colors,
such as rose gold cactus green, etc.,
the installation is very simple, the
back plate can be directly aligned with the magnetic structure
, and the iPad Air can be installed directly by placing it on it.
Compared with the original factory, it
has a more buckle design,
not only The protection can be better, and it
can also protect the Apple Pencil
from falling. When it is
opened , the buckle can also be sucked directly to the back.
You can also have different angles to choose from. When you
want to take notes or draw, you can
use the writing mode. You can
use the viewing mode when watching the screen or watching
a series. Another one is the Utouch Qiaopin series of protective cases.
This is a style with an Apple Pencil pen slot.
There are four colors to choose from.
It is also suitable for iPad Air
and The 11-inch iPad Pro
comes with two lens frames,
which can be used according to the style you bought. It is very convenient to install.
There are 16 powerful
magnets between the detachable
back cover and the panel, which can ensure the surface
when you don’t shake it at will.
The cover and the back panel are not easy to separate. There are upgraded anti-drop airbags at all
corners
to protect the iPad. The back case is a PC anti-bending hard case
. The cover is made of skin-friendly PU material
. It can be used with a mobile phone stand, and the
face cover can also be used at different angles.
As mentioned just now, you can use the writing mode when
you
want to take notes or draw pictures. You can
also use the viewing mode when you want to follow a drama. The design of the
pen slot is also ingenious
. There is a hollow at the back. The part
allows you to easily take out the Apple Pencil
and has a round hole when writing,
which
allows you to temporarily store the Apple Pencil . It is a protective and multifunctional device.
I 'll put the link of the official store below
for your reference.
OK, let's first take this iPad
out of the box,
so that
you
can see what accessories you can see inside after opening it.
Basically , there are some
Very simple thing, but they still give you this charger
. Of course, the iPad Air this time is the same as last time. They
use the USB Type-C charging port , but there is still a gap with the iPad Pro.
It still does not support Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4
have manuals and Apple stickers on the inside.
Let 's roughly compare the difference between
the iPad Air 4th generation and the 5th generation. In fact, from the appearance,
if you don't look carefully,
it should be
said that even if you look carefully, you should see
it. I do n't really know the difference.
The most
direct place to judge
is at the bottom of it.
This time, they wrote the iPad Air
in the 5th generation. In the previous 4th generation,
they still only wrote about the
other parts of the iPad,
like the whole body. The
design , the hole for the microphone, the size of the
camera, and the size of the camera. I also checked the arrangement of the magnets behind
it. The number and
arrangement of all the magnets are exactly the same
, which means that they
were used for the iPad Air 4.
Accessories can also be supported
in the 5th generation.
Although the appearance is the same, it
does not
mean that the things inside are the same . We know that this time,
I personally think the biggest difference is of course, except that it uses the M1 processor.
Its front lens
is also Made a very big improvement.
In the 4th generation of the iPad Air,
its front lens is a more general lens.
It uses 7 million pixels
. This time in the 5th generation of the iPad Air,
its front lens uses an ultra-wide angle
and supports
The 12-megapixel lens with
the character centering function
, although you see 12-megapixels
compared to 7-megapixels, there should be an obvious improvement in image quality
, but of course, because it is an ultra-wide-angle lens,
if you are used to the angle of self-portrait If the focal length of the
lens is relatively narrow like the previous one,
in fact, this time when the 12 million pixels are cropped, the image quality will still
have a little more obvious noise and some regression compared to the previous one.
Of course,
its convenience is to let
When you are in the video, the
support character is centered.
I think this
is a relatively practical choice.
Then I am testing the speaker.
I think it sounds like
I can't hear the difference at all,
so if you want to upgrade the speaker
I don't think it's necessary.
Another
thing that many people mentioned is that this time
, they have a flaw in the assembly quality of the iPad Air 5.
This is also the place where I said that I would unpack this one.
Many audiences asked me to test the
key test.
In fact, there are also many people abroad who have talked about
this . The flaws they talked about are not the same.
Some people say that you have to move it with your hand to fold it. Sometimes, you can
hear the sound of it having a card. In addition, when you press the back panel with your hand, you
can
hear the
sound of it hitting the motherboard inside it. According to their foreign forums, it is mostly in the blue one. An iPad Air 5
I bought is purple. Personally,
I do n't really
feel the difference
in
assembly quality. Of course, at the same time,
we have to ask ourselves honestly. We have raised this point
in a forum.
This doesn't
affect the normal use of this gap,
or when they say a defect , would you fold your iPad like this before
or forcefully press your back panel?
If you're not such a person
, it's because you hear it . If you
only do this kind of test ,
will this really affect your daily use
, but of course if you are very demanding on assembly quality,
then
you may try to avoid buying the blue one
or you are buying When I took it apart on site to
see if there was this problem, I personally think that whether there is this problem
or not, it will not affect my willingness
to buy it . I want to ask if
there is a need to upgrade the 4th generation and the 5th generation,
or which one should I buy
. Of course, compared with the A14,
the M1 should theoretically have a big improvement.
In the running score, we are in the single core. I saw that the 4th generation of the
old A14 iPad Air was around 1500 points, and
then in the multi-core part
it was around 4200-4300.
This time , the M1 reached
1600-1700 in the single-core part and then
7200 in the multi-core part.
Between 7300 and 7300
,
there is a nearly 2 times improvement in the image processing benchmark.
We also tested the SSD read speed
, and the difference is about 2 to 3 times. But
if you don't usually say it, it is possible If you
plug in an external hard drive, read files,
or transfer files,
is there any difference in actual use
? Let ’s talk about the speed at which we open the app.
We test the speed of some games,
such as Roblox
, and we
choose different games. When
I opened it, I
didn't see a noticeable difference.
Basically, they were all the same speed , and I
didn't say which one was faster than which one. In addition, we also tested the
Genshin Impact on the iPad . We can see
that when it is read in the Genshin Impact
When you really want to enter the game, there
will be a small gap
, but the total gap is about 1 to 2 seconds,
so I don't think it's a big difference.
Also , many people care about this hot spot.
Of course, the A14 processor is famous for generating heat,
but the M1 is basically an upgraded version of the
A14. At this point,
I especially play Genshin for 15 minutes and
then
compare the temperature difference before and after
it . A room temperature
of about 23-24 degrees
I did a test in a room.
At the beginning, both of them
were between 23 and 24 degrees
. After playing Genshin for 15 minutes, the
A14 version has a slightly higher temperature
, which is around
34 degrees and 34 degrees.
This is not special in terms of feel It
's very hot. What about
the M1? Its temperature is about 29 degrees,
which is very strange
because we saw that many people tested
3DMark and tested this
Benchmark score.
If they push it to the limit in the most extreme way
The temperature difference between the two is that the
M1 is relatively higher than the A14,
but why
is it that the M1 is lower after 15 minutes
of actual use , such as playing
Genshin Impact, so I think this really needs to be
used above. It depends on what app you
use, what software you use, and what game you play.
I think there will be a gap in this comparison. I
think this part of the running score is for reference only
, because if you want to use
your machine to the extreme and top
You shouldn't buy an iPad Air
for this kind of
use , so let's talk about the
method I use more, such as
video output to make videos, etc.
Then I will use iMovie on both devices.
Because this is a native software,
we use iMovie
and I input a 10-minute video
and then add a blue filter
on it. At the same time, these two units will output the same
video and the same file in this case at the same time.
Their output time The difference is
about
5 minutes and 36 seconds
on the M1 machine, and 6 minutes and 16 seconds on the A14 iPad 4,
so the difference is about 40 seconds.
Personally, I don't think it is that
obvious . If you look at the difference in their running points,
you will feel as if there should be a
bigger difference,
but
I didn't feel such a big difference in the video output.
I think both of them are below the acceptable range.
In other use cases, whether it
's the brightness of the screen or the color of the screen,
I can feel a little difference between the two, but
it's hard to say which one is better
. Also, because
they both use 60Hz screens,
they are using Apple Pencil
. In this case, there is no difference
between the two,
so in this case, I think there is
really not a big difference
in the experience of use except for its front lens and
the processor inside it . In actual use, how do I
recommend it to everyone? Which one is worth upgrading compared
to which model you are using now? Or which one should you buy
? Let's talk about the first one.
Is
an
iPad Air 5
worth a drop compared to an iPad Air 4 to buy an iPad Air 4
? I think with the current price difference, the price difference
I see on the market is not
the case. With such a gap,
I personally recommend
buying the M1 version of the iPad Air 5
because I think the processor itself has better performance, so it
can support software updates for more years,
or you may use some more professional ones later.
Of course, the app
is a higher and more efficient processor.
In this regard, the support will be better.
In addition, the front and center
lens
is up to you.
I personally think it is more convenient to have this lens.
Generally speaking, if you take an iPad for self-photography,
really There should be very few people who pursue this selfie picture quality very much,
but
with the addition of this ultra-wide-angle lens, you can use
it in any situation. I think it can be used in a wider range
, so I think it is worth doing such an upgrade. If
you are going to buy it now,
I would recommend buying the iPad Air 5
, but conversely,
if you have the iPad Air 4
A14 version, is
it worth the upgrade
? I personally don't think it is necessary.
Of course, I also think that people who use iPad Air 4 in
general
may not have such high requirements for performance.
You may not use it for editing, and
you may not use it
to do some heavy work.
In this case I think
no matter which one you use
, there is not much difference in feeling, because
if you really have some
heavy work to use on it, I
would suggest you instead,
maybe you buy a Mac, it will be more suitable for you.
So ? If you still have the
old iPad Air 4,
I don’t think there is a need to upgrade.
Another question that many people will ask
is that the iPad Air 5
also has the M1 version,
compared to the current iPad Pro
. The M1 is also used.
How do you choose between the
two? Actually, I have a
video to talk about these in more detail.
I think in the end, it depends on what you really need, because of
course, it is also the M1 processor,
and you have to think that
you are in it. What are
you using and do you need more memory
because if you don't need more memory today
then of course you buy the 64GB version
which is a very worthwhile option
but if you need it today
the storage file is There are
a lot of them. This is when you are a main work machine.
Then you may want to buy 128 or 256. At
this time, the price gap between the two
becomes very small. At
this time, I may recommend
you to go. I bought the iPad Pro
because it is apart from the M1 processor,
whether it is the specifications of the screen, the speaker, or the
rear lens.
Overall , it
is still one step higher than the iPad Air,
and now it's actually about the iPad Pro
because It's been out for a while and
there are a lot of places like Costco
or you go out and find a dealer selling
it yourself it has a better price for you to buy
them The gap between the
two
makes it difficult for me to recommend the iPad Air if you want to buy a high capacity
, but if you really go, it's
fair to say that you really want to say what your needs
are . If you answer some E-mails
or use it for children in class, 64GB is
actually enough for you to use.
At this time, I
think its price is a very high CP value choice
. For me, this
is the time I
buy this one .
The reason for the iPad Air 5 is
because the
children will use it in class. At this time,
I feel that buying an iPad Pro at that level
is a bit of a problem. Because of this price trap
, I accidentally spend more.
I don't need to
spend the money. At that moment, you will feel
as if you bought something that is more worthwhile,
but in the end, if you will not use those
extras , better screens, etc., then in
fact, it will cost more money,
you might as well save it Going to buy some accessories to buy some leather cases
or to buy an Apple Pencil
may still be a more practical choice.
OK,
this is an unboxing of the iPad Air,
and then I will share with you which one
I recommend to buy
and the actual use. Some of the above experience
, if you have any questions,
please leave a message below
OK, then today's video will be here first
I'm Apple Daddy
, see you in the next video Bye
