So then guys today what I want to give you is the 2023 Ultima iPad buyers guide if you're thinking
of getting yourself a brand new iPad in 2023 this is the video to watch because right now
we have a selection of over six different iPads and they're all for different uses for different
people out there and I'm today going to help you choose which iPad is right for you so first of all
I think Festival we'll start with the smallest iPad that is out there and it is this one right
here this is the iPad mini and this one here is the sixth generation iPad mini and let's talk
a little bit more about this iPad and who I think it's really for and why you should maybe consider
buying it so with a screen coming in at 8.9 inches this is the smallest iPad out there hence the name
why it's called the iPad Mini now the iPad Mini came out in 2021 and it was one of the last iPads
to get this kind of new sort of form factor design was very similar was started out with the iPad Pro
back in 2018 now this iPad mini is a fantastic device and as you can see here a lot of people
could actually hold it with just one hand just like what I'm doing right here and it comes in
some great colors as well and there are lots of good options for that I particularly love this
iPad mini and I'm going to be honest with you this iPad is actually my main primary driver iPad that
I actually use I'm absolutely in love with iPad minis mainly because they're so small and Dinky
and this is easy to take around I use them helping me with my video editing to read scripts from and
also they're just great to take on say for example a plane for example I recently went to the USA and
this was basically a great sort of iPad to take on the plane especially if you're like in sort of
sort of Coach class economy class and you just basically need something small on that little
table that they give you this iPad is more than enough for that the other great thing about this
iPad as well it does have some extra features as well including center stage on the top here
and there's camera right at the middle and also at the bottom as well you do actually have a USB
C Port what is really really cool it is just a standard USB 3.0 Port so speeds of USB 3.0 it's
not Thunderbolt 4 but it is still pretty cool and also as you can see here you've got two speakers
on the bottom and you've also got two speakers on the very top and this basically gives you the full
kind of sort of stereo sort of speaker sound experience what is pretty cool out there you
may have also noticed there is a touch ID button on the very top of the iPad mini and this is to
unlock the actual iPad so that is pretty cool too we also do have a sort of a standard 12 megapixel
camera Snapper on the back just a single camera and also like I said we do have that Center Stage
or it's also a 12 megapixel camera on this too the main thing when I say this iPad is for I would
actually say this is kind of stuff the general use kind of iPad it is powered by the latest sort
of a15 chipset out there what's really cool it's the same sort of chips that was in the air sort of
iPhone 13 Ranger and also in the sort of the lower spec iPhone 14 range and it is a great chipset
and it will be for many years to come the battery Olympus is pretty good so as you can imagine with
an iPhone unlike the iPhone 13 if you have one of them with the a15 chipset you can imagine what the
battery life is like that and sort of out you can imagine with this with a slightly bigger screen
and a slightly bigger battery too you're going to probably get around the same sort of battery life
there is also a cellular option for the iPad Mini what comes with 5G capability too but basically
I would say that most apps in fact I'd say 99 of apps out there work absolutely fine on this
iPad mini and it's also compatible with the apple pencil 2. so basically the second generation apple
pencil can work with this and it can magnetize to the side of the iPad Mini what is pretty pretty
cool the mini comes in two sizes of storage as well so you do have the 64 gigabyte storage
option and this starts at 499 US Dollars and then also you do have the 256 gigabyte option and this
starts at 649 US dollars but what I would say is don't let the price throw you off especially if
this iPad's been out now for over a year in 2022 and into 2023 becoming up to two years now I would
actually say you could pick up this iPad Mini of some very good deals I've actually seen this iPad
Mini at 399 US dollars for the 64 gigabyte option what is pretty cool pricing to be honest and also
if you do get a refurbished one you can also pick them up at quite cheap prices too so yeah do look
out for that and yeah do definitely consider the iPad Mini so with it out of the way guys let's
move on to the next iPad and that iPad is the ninth generation iPad now we'll be talking about
the 10th generation iPad in just a moment I want to talk about the ninth generation iPad because
Apple still sells this this is the model that came out in 2021 just like the iPad mini and this is
powered by an a13 chipset inside it this is the same sort of chipset that we had in the likes of
say the iPhone 11 and the 11 Pro Max at the time in the 11 Pro so yeah it's still quite a cool
chipset inside there and again just like the iPad Mini I would say 99 of apps can still work on this
iPad this iPad comes in at a 10.2 inch display so it's slightly larger than the iPad mini but it's
not as big as the other iPads I'm going to talk about in just a moment now with this iPad it is
kind of the old design language of iPads so this is very similar to sort of the iPad Air Design
that came way back up like in 2012 or so where we do actually have sort of the home button at the
bottom and this one does have Touch ID in it and the sort of 10.2 image we've had to the last sort
of three or so sort of generation on this sort of start of iPad it is definitely a great iPad to get
like I said before guys it can actually like power like most apps out there and I would say this is
definitely the best budget iPad especially at the 64 gigabyte option comes in at 329 US dollars but
yet again just like the iPad Mini especially that has been more than the year since it's come out
you can get some good deals out there to actually get this less than 300 so it's pretty cool on that
one and it is such a great iPad like I said before though guys it is the old sort of design language
but you can use some accessories with it you can also just get sort of the keyboard sort of phone
video accessory to work with it but you can't actually get like say a magic keyboard to work
with it with a track pad but having said that you could Bluetooth up a mouse to it and use
that and that will work absolutely fine too if you really really wanted to do that so there's
no problems there as this iPad does have the old design language you do actually still have
a lightning port on the very very bottom and you see user speeds of USB 2.0 there's also just two
speakers at the bottom there's no sort of stereo speakers at the top as well as you don't get that
remember this is the budget line iPad but one sort of secret feature it's got a special feature
I'm actually going to call it now it's not that special but I think it's special and it actually
has an headphone Port this is the only iPad and the whole range of Apple cells right now what
still has a 3.5 headphone Port so if you do have a traditional sort of wider sort of headphones this
iPad will work no problems with that no adapters or anything like that is needed you can just plug
it in here and charge at the same time at the bottom but I would definitely say this iPad is
still worth getting in 2023 it even though it's now coming up to sort of two years old or it's
about 18 months old it's still a great iPad and it will be for many years and it's definitely a great
iPad especially it's because of its budget sort of pricing and again you can use the first generation
apple pencil with it too now the next iPad I want to show you is the iPad 10th Generation now this
iPad is one of the last iPads to come out in 2022 and it'll be a mainstream iPad to sell in 2023.
now this iPad you may have noticed it is very different from the live generation where Apple
still sell and the main reason is it uses that brand new sort of body language of like the iPad
Pro that came out in 2018 but you may have also noticed that this looks very similar to the iPad
Air and you're not wrong there it does have a 10.9 inch display it's a 60 hertz display at that as
well so there's no sort of pro motion built into it and but there are some sort of extra features
that you should know about compared to ninth generation one of the main differences is that
you do have a USB C port at the very bottom but I must have to tell you this now it it's actually
USB 2.0 so it's the same sort of speed as you get with the ninth generation the only difference is
it's USB instead of lightning you're not going to get any sort of any power differences the battery
won't charge any quick or anything like that it's exactly the same in that respect but you
do actually do get stereo speakers as you can see here too at the bottom and then after at the top
you get two right here too what is pretty cool you may have also noticed as well that you do have a
home button at the top and this is the touch ID sort of home button very similar to like what I
showed you with the iPad Mini you get your volume rockers and things like this but one of the other
cool things about this iPad you may have noticed is that you also get the accessory port on the
side right here and this works with the brand new magic trackpads or the magic keyboard folio
and this came out at the same time as the 10th generation iPad there's an exactly what you can
buy what you can see here and it's pretty cool if you do want to use sort of a trackpad and a
keyboard at the same time also the great thing as well is that you can just use it as sort of a
flip out stand without using the keyboard as well at the same time what's pretty cool but the great
thing I would say though main thing about this iPad it has got a large display it has got the
newer sort of design language and also at the same time one of the other cool things this is the only
iPad at the range at the moment making this video that it does actually have the sort of Center
Stage camera on the landscape orientation where my finger is tapping right here it's not actually
at the portrait top but it's a center stage 12 megapixel and on the back as well we do also
have a 12 megapixel camera right up here what is pretty cool too but overall apart from that guys
it is like I said very similar to the iPad Air and talk about the iPad air that is what I want
to talk about next of all but what I will just tell you though guys that this iPad does come in
at 449 US Dollars just in the USA at the moment so that's about 120 dollars more than the ninth
generation but I would actually say that if you just want to get an iPad which just goes and just
works you're not going to be bothered about sort of that folio case I'd actually consider the ninth
generation over this one but if you desperately want that new body language and the cheapest way
to do it then yeah get get this 10th Generation instead but let's move over then to the iPad Air
now apart from the background you probably can't actually tell the difference between this iPad
and also the tev generation iPad and yeah to be honest you won't be wrong it is exactly the same
design language it's also a 10.9 inch display that's iPads it's exactly the same as the 10th
Generation the main differences though with this iPad here is all to do with the chipset what's
underneath the hood this has an M1 chipset what is far faster than the a15 the a13 and the A14
chips that I spoke about in the previous iPads this isn't a completely different League of its
own with more multi-cores inside it this is basically the best iPad you can get out there
if you kind of want to have the best speed but also you don't mind sacrificing like I'm on the
best display for example it is a great iPad for that the main reasons why I love this iPad so
much is because of those reasons but I also do love it that it does work with the normal magic
keyboard out there but also works with the iPad Pro what I'll talk about a little bit further on
but like like I said before though guys the main sort of difference is is that it does work with
that and the main reason is because you've got the accessory Port down here and it doesn't work
with the folio sort of keyboard magic keyboard that is out there again I would actually say
this has got Center Stage it's at the portrait at the very top whereas the 10th Generation had
it on the side so it's still got that that's one of the big difference is the camera on the back
is exactly the same and also that Center Stage camera even though it's on the side is exactly
the same too there's no differences there also you do have a USB 3.0 Port this time so that is faster
very similar to like the iPad Mini so it's faster than the 10th generation iPad but you also do have
those stereo speakers at the bottom and also at the top as you can see right here and again you do
have the touch ID button to unlock the iPad if you want to do that you've got your volume rockers as
well and just like all the iPads they've all got 5G compatibility so there is a cellular option for
them this fifth generation iPad Air comes in at 599 US dollars so that's about 100 fifty dollars
more than the 10th generation iPad the likes that the main thing you're getting for that is that USB
Freeport and also mainly the M1 chipset that is the main difference and also you can use it with
the new sort of traditional magic keyboard and that's not a bad price for what it is especially
in the bump up in specs you're getting there also is a 256 gigabyte option what does actually cost
um you know I think it's um 750 dollars well it's still pretty cool and again because this iPad Air
has been out now since around about March 2022 and now coming to 2023 you can start to pick up
some good deals on this in fact just very recently I did actually see one of these iPad Airs going up
for 529 US dollars for the 64 gigabyte option well it's pretty good deal for this iPad or considering
there are some great colors on this iPad so I do absolutely love this purple color on this iPad so
I do really like that too so you do get some more options with that also but if this isn't enough
for you and you want to go up to the next sort of spec that the iPad Pro range is just for you
so let's talk about that next now again forgive me if you think you've seen this iPad already
with the 10th generation iPad and also the iPad Air because yes again yeah the design language
is exactly the same and again this one is an 11 inch iPad that I'm holding here I drove the 12.9
inch two it was a little bit big to hold in this video you can see here there's almost the size of
my head so yeah it's quite a large eyebrows I'm holding the 11th inch model so just 0.1 inches
bigger than the 11th or the 10.9 inch iPad that you get with the sort of iPad Air and also the
10th generation iPad so there's really hardly anything in it the bezels are ever so slightly
smoother just to accommodate that ever so sort of slightly larger display now with both of the iPad
Pros under the hood they're very very similar so they do have that brand new M2 chipset that's come
at the end of 2022 and this is an enhancement on the M1 chipset but the main differences between
I would say sort of the M1 and the M2 do is basically you are getting about a 20 sort of
increase in speed but comparing it to say like the iPad Air looks out right now with the M1 chipset
you're going to be getting that 20 increase but also at the same time the main sort of difference
is is that you get a pro motion display so this display here is sort of an LCD sort of display
and this is the same sort of screens that I use and all the other iPads that I have shown you and
the 11 inch has that the main difference is though with it being a pro motion display it goes up to
120 hertz so 120 sort of reframes per second or refreshes per second on that on this display so
it's really really cool to have that the 12.9 inch model that is slightly different it doesn't have
this sort of LCD sort of display it actually has a mini LED display with this Retina Display built
into it so colors are a little bit more sharper a little more brighter and also the blacks as well
a little bit more deeper too so it is definitely a superior screen but it's only available in the
12.9 inch iPad Pro you cannot get it in the 11 inch unfortunately some other main differences
this though with the iPad Pros is that you do get the USB port at the bottom but this is actually a
thunderbolt 3 port instead or actually it's a thunderbolt 4 or actually I'll correct myself
there with the M2 chipset you get stereo speakers well a little bit more crisper than the likes of
what you got in the 10th generation iPad and then also the iPad Air so that's really really cool the
other main differences compared to the other iPads it does have a center stage camera at the very top
but the main thing is this also has sort of face ID in it you don't actually have Touch ID on this
iPad so you can unlock it just by looking at the actual camera what is pretty cool there you like I
said at the top you do have those stereo speakers and you still do have the home button but it's not
a touch fingerprint one the other main differences I say at the back has got to do with the cameras
you do actually have two cameras here you have a wide and an ultra wide camera lens very similar to
like what you get with an iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 sort of plus range and the ones before that you
get two cameras of wide and Ultra wide and they're both sort of 12 megapixel cameras on that and also
you also get the lidar Sensor 2 was also bolts in the back here so that's really really good
if you want to do sort of some bits and pieces for AR with your iPad it definitely is a pro
device again it does work with the apple pencil 2 what is really really cool it can magnetize to
the side and also again it can work with the magic keyboard now the magic keyboard is pretty cool as
you can see here just magnetizes onto it and you get the full keyboard and you also get the track
pad there too it's a really really good to kind of work on this a bit like a sort of a laptop if
you want to do that you do also have a USB port on the side so charge the iPad if you want to do that
what I find is really really useful so that is a great accessory what you can get for the iPad Pro
so I am really really impressed with it you do get both of these models so I think the actual
11 inch one starts in at 799 US Dollars and that will give you the 11 inch model and then you can
also get the 12.9 inch model at 1099 US Dollars well it's quite a good price for it too especially
that the prices have not changed since the M1 iPad Pro so exactly the same price is storage
sizes go right up to 256 gigabytes and then they go up to 512 gigabytes and then you've also got
one and two terabytes and I also just forgot to mention the base storage on this one is actually
128 gigabytes where all the other previous iPads only actually start at 64 gigabytes as a sort of
the base sort of storage inside there and the storage inside this also is a little bit more
quicker to access compared to the other iPads too but overall there is a great iPad lineup
this year and I would actually say that this iPad Pro definitely is worth getting if you're
thinking of getting sort of a sort of a laptop sort of substitute and you're definitely going
to be using the uses of say like the apple pencil and you're definitely going to be doing some good
editing on it for sort of different things like with photos and videos and all sorts like that
it's definitely worth getting this iPad on that manner if not I would actually say it probably
might be worth getting one of the lower spec iPads I have shown you like the air attempt gen or even
like the mini or even the 9th gen if you just want to do sort of streaming and things like that the
iPad Pro is not really going to be better for that for you so yeah I wouldn't be buying it for that
reason there is also the option of the M1 sort of iPad Pros out there too and you can pick them up a
little bit more cheaper than this and they're just as good too but Apple don't officially sell those
anymore apart from being in the refurb store so you can't buy new from Apple but there are
some still lingering around you can pick up some good deals on well guys there we have it that is
the full iPad range for 2023 and it's quite a good lineup this year with also all six models and I'd
