So we just had the announcement of the brand new ipad air with the surprise announcement
m1 chipset going inside it however we do have two other ipads out there we'll have an m1 chipset
inside it and these are the ipad pro models and specifically the 11 inch ipad pro is very
similar now to the ipad air or is it well today i want to do a comparison of both of these models
especially there was only a 200 price difference between both of them and i want to discuss
what you'll be getting on one model over the other well without further ado let's begin with
the comparison so as we can see here on the left hand side we've got the ipad air m1 2022 model
and then on the right side we've got the ipad pro 11 inch with the m1 chipset what came out in 2021
so let's begin with them with the comparison and first of all we'll start with the display type so
both of these actual ipads have got the exact same screen technology in the sense of that they both
have liquid retina displays in that led technology only the ipad pro 12.9 inch has the mini led
but the 11 inch doesn't have this so both of them have very very similar technology inside them but
they're moving on to the actual screen sizes they're also very similar as well just 0.1 of
an inch smaller for the ipad m1 and the ipad pro 11 inch of course is 11 inches so there's hardly
anything in it here you probably won't really even notice the difference between both these models
if you actually use them and swap between them so really there's no big gain in getting the
ipad pro 11 inch over the ipad air if you simply just want a larger screen moving that onto the
screen resolution things are a bit different here the aspect ratio for the ipad air m1
is one by four point three nine by one whereas the ipad pro 11 m1 is 1.43 by one but the actual
resolutions are very similar to each other because they're so similar in screen size but the ipad air
m1 has a resolution of 2360 by 1 640 whereas the ipad pro 11 inch has a 2360 by 1668 so it's just
accommodate that 0.1 inch but moving on to pixels per inch they are identical so for the ipad air
m1 and also the ipad pro 11 m1 they both have 264 pixels per inch so no differences there but the
actual display refresh rate there is a difference and this is where we start seeing the differences
between the ipad air and the ipad pro so with the ipad air m1 you have the standard 60 hertz refresh
rate so this basic means the screen refresh itself 60 times a second but the ipad pro 11 inch has a
pro motion 120 hertz refresh rate and it can flick between 60 and 120 hertz it doesn't actually have
the ability to do the full pro motion and drop all the way down to say like 10 hertz or anything
it can only flick between the two and it decides how to do that but it's good to know that the ipad
pro does have a faster refresh rate than the ipad air for display protection though it is identical
again they both have a gorilla glass 6 protection glass on top so there's no differences here and
then for the processors and cpu they are now identical they didn't used to be the ipad air is
the first ipad air to get an m series chip inside and it's the m1 before that we've always had an a
series so it's identical in the amount of cores that we get so this is four efficiency cores
four performance cores to give you eight gpu cpu cores and then you have 8 gpu cores as well inside
both of these ipads with that m1 chipset for ram amounts there is a bit of a difference depending
on what model you pick especially with the ipad pro for the ipad air no matter what storage you
pick what model you pick you will always get eight gigs of ram and to be honest that is more than
enough for literally 99 of people's cases but the ipad pro 11 inch if you pick the higher top two
tiers of storage you actually get 16 gigabytes of ram and that's what i'll talk about next here in
the storage amounts so with the ipad air what you actually get is you get 64 gigabytes of storage
or 256 gigabytes of storage as your options but then for the ipad pro 11 inch there's lots of
storage options you can choose 128 gigabytes 256 gigabytes 512 gigabytes and this will give you the
8 gigabytes of ram option but if you choose the one terabyte or two terabyte option of storage in
the ipad pro 11 inch you will actually get that 16 gigabytes of ram instead then for operating system
both of these ipads run the latest version what is apple ios 15 and i think it's 15.4 at the time
of making this video so yeah both of these ipads will probably get many updates for the next five
to six years with no problems whatsoever so just quickly while we're doing these comparisons i want
to talk about the channel giveaway that we're doing right now and it is for this it is for an
iphone 13 pro max in silver white and i'm going to be giving this away to one lucky subscriber
when we get over 350 000 subscribers and it's not that far away and all i want to know from you guys
in the comments below is are you gonna be buying any of that new apple tech that's
just been announced are you gonna be buying any other apple tech or other type of technology
in 2022 write it down in the comments below and as i said when we go over 350 000 subscribers
i'll be announcing who the winner is by doing a video on this channel so that means if you are new
here and you want to enter into this giveaway make sure that you hit the subscribe button and also
the notification bell to be in your chance on this iphone 13 pro max on this international giveaway
but i will just quickly mention as well guys there are a lot of spammers a lot of scammers out there
sadly some of them are even impersonating me telling you to watch at them or to telegram them
ignore them completely this is not me at all like i said i'll be announcing that winner over 350
000 subscribers and it'll be done via video on this channel without further ado guys let's put
this down and let's go back down to the comparison moving on to the battery size and there is an
actual slight difference here but hardly noticeable the ipad air m1 has a battery
size of 7606 milliamps whereas the ipad pro 11 inch m1 has a battery size of 7538 milliamp
it does mean the ipad air has a slightly bigger battery but it's probably by about one percent
and to be fair if you did a battery drain test on both of these ipads it would literally probably be
neck and neck or maybe the ipad air might last probably like an extra minute longer to
the ipad pro but if you had background apps running in the background on the ipad air
i didn't have as many running on say the ipad pro then obviously the ipad pro would probably
win the battery test it really depends there isn't going to be much difference on this at all
but for wired and wireless charging both of these ipads do not have wireless charging abilities
whatsoever however the ipad air m1 does allow for usbc 20 watt charging whereas the ipad pro 11
inch has the original 18 watt charging but again not much difference as you're gonna see here in
charging speeds with this going on to the actual weight again not many differences here either
so you can see that the ipod air m1 weighs in at 461 grams whereas the ipad pro 11 inch m1
weighs in at 468 grams we're talking seven grams here what is hardly nothing really
you wouldn't really notice the difference if you held both of these in your hand
then for water resistance unfortunately neither of the ipads have any water resistance and any ipad
ever in history up to the state hasn't had any water resistance but then for the ports what we
do now have with the ipad air m1 we have usbc like we had before but it is now a thunderbolt 4 port
just like what we get with the ipad pro 11 inch m1 so exactly the same type of port now at the bottom
both of these ipads though do not have a headphone port anymore they've taken that away
completely moving on though for stereo speakers both of these ipads have this inside them so it's
really good to see and then also for the first time the ipad air m1 does have the ability to
have 5g capability this is the first ipad to do this the last ipad could do 4g and a few other
generations before that but the ipad pro also has 5g capability as well so no differences here both
the ipads again have the same bluetooth technology so bluetooth 5.0 but then coming onto the rear of
the ipad and talking about the cameras there is a bit of a difference here so the ipad air
m1 has the exact same camera setup as it did before on the last ipad so it has a 12 megapixel
wide camera lens just a single one and that can record up to 4k video whereas the ipad pro 11
inch m1 has a 12 megapixel wide camera and also has a 10 megapixel ultra wide camera inside it
as well and can record up to 4k video and as an additional it also has that lidar sensor something
similar to what we have in the iphone 12 and also the iphone 13. and this actually helps in some of
the photography things that you want to do and also for ar abilities flicking around now to the
front of the ipad for the selfie camera so both of these ipads have a single lens on the front
and they are both identical now they both have a 12 megapixel camera they both support center
stage and it's the first for the ipad air and then also they both support 4k recording as well for
pricing them so this is where things change a fair bit so the ipad air m1 starts at 599 us dollars
and that is with a base model of 64 gigabytes but the ipad pro 11 inch gives you double that amount
of storage at 128 gigabytes for 799 us dollars so we're literally talking 200 for the differences
between both of these ipads moving on to colors and really the ipad wins hands down here
we have the new graphite color we have the starlight we've got pink we've got blue we've
got the brand new purple as well and then with the ipad pro we've only got silver and space grey but
they do look more professional on a pro model so overall then what ipad model will you be buying
out of these two that are available so as you can see the ipad air offers quite a lot for the same
price as the last generation ipad air except for you now get 5g capability and you also get that
m1 chipset inside it and also a thunderbolt 4 port as well but the thing is with the ipad pro
you do get things like pro motion you also get an ever so slightly larger display and you also
get those dual cameras on the back and also you get face id to unlock instead of touch id
so yeah there are some differences there and also the fact as well the starting model for the ipad
air is a 64 gigabyte model whereas the ipad pro it starts at 128 gigabyte model so really to be
honest when you're actually seeing the differences here you are getting something very very like for
like in what you're getting so if you pick the ipad at the base model it probably is worth that
price whereas the ipad pro if you pick the base model the 11 inch one it's also worth around about
the same price if you did actually change it so for example to 256 gigabyte storage on the ipad
air and also change the ipad pro 11 inch to 256 gigabytes that actually is still the 200 price
difference between both the models you actually are literally like i said getting like for like in
priceless and what you're getting in features so really it is down to you on your choice well with
