00:005th generation iPad Air in pink is in the house.
00:03And we're also putting this iPad Air side by side the iPad Pro.
00:11Good day, you beautiful people.
00:13Welcome to Issa Does Tech, where we do tech in your life, in style.
00:16In today's video is another pink gadget.
00:18We have the newest iPad Air.
00:20And I'm just honestly gonna get right into it.
00:22Let's unbox.
00:24The new iPad Air and an Apple Pencil.
00:26In true Apple fashion, very minimal branding.
00:29We got the base 64 gig version, Wi-Fi.
00:32And of course, you guys already know what color I got.
00:37We got the iPad.
00:38But of course, we'll see what else is in the box.
00:42Paperwork, power cord, USB-C to C.
00:46And we have a power brick.
00:49And nothing else in the box.
00:54Oh, that's nice and pink.
00:56So you have the Apple logo, Apple Air branding here.
01:00Sleek.
01:01That's one camera on the back.
01:02And it does protrude a little bit.
01:04You have your volume keys on the right side.
01:07And these are very flat sides.
01:09At the bottom, we have speakers, USB-C charging port.
01:13A clean other side.
01:15And then up top, you have the power button that doubles as a fingerprint scanner.
01:19And also more speakers.
01:25Nice.
01:25Okay, before we set this up, let's unbox the Apple Pencil.
01:28So this is the Apple Pencil 2.
01:29And this is the one that's compatible with the new iPad Air.
01:33Yes, the pencil that sticks on magnetically and charges at the same time to your iPad.
01:42That's a lot of paperwork for a pencil.
01:47Yeah, here we go.
01:48The most expensive pencil I've ever bought.
01:56So
02:16yes, my iPad is pink.
02:18I getcha.
02:18This is where I shot that video.
02:21And as you can see, the color is shifting a little bit.
02:23Basically, what's happening is that lights on these types of colors make them seem whiter.
02:31I mean, I'm not gonna lie.
02:32It's not like a hot pink.
02:36But it is pink.
02:40There.
02:41You get the idea.
02:43And in comparison, this is the pink iPhone.
02:49And the same light.
02:51And the pink iPad.
02:54In the same light.
02:55But this thing does come in five other colors.
02:57Joshua got the purple one and this is what that looks like.
03:00And this iPad Air also comes in blue, space gray, and starlight.
03:03Now, this is the base version which retails at $599 US.
03:07And this is the Wi-Fi 64GB variant.
03:10The iPad Air can do 5G and the cellular version starts at $750 US for the 64GB variant.
03:17Now, the thing with these iPads is that they start at $64 and then jump to $256.
03:21I don't know where the $128 went.
03:23I would have loved for a 128GB variant.
03:26But it is no more.
03:28The iPad Air is now even more powerful.
03:31It runs on Apple's M1 chip.
03:33That same chip they've been talking about they put in their MacBooks and on the iPad Pros.
03:38For those of you who use your iPads for online calls,
03:40this tablet features a 12MP front-facing camera and it has center stage.
03:45Yes, that feature which allows you to never exit frame as you move around on your call.
03:51On selfies, you can even do a wider shot though.
03:54I'm not entirely sure why you'd be shooting a lot of your selfies on a tablet.
03:58But the point is you can if you wanted to.
04:01And selfie video allows you to do the same.
04:03So this is footage from the selfie camera 1X.
04:06And this is footage from the selfie camera and this is wide.
04:11It's actually quite a wide scene.
04:14Again, I'd imagine this'd be perfect for group calls.
04:17On that back, that lone camera is a 12MP shooter.
04:1912MP shooter that can shoot 4K video.
04:23And this is how that footage looks.
04:25Up front, that is a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display
04:29that does 500 nits of brightness and up until 60Hz refresh rate.
04:34No, there is no ProMotion on this iPad.
04:36And videos look and sound like this.
04:50So as you saw, I did get an Apple Pencil with my iPad Air.
04:54And that's because I intend to try digitizing my planning.
04:58I've been seeing people with cute and organized digital planners on TikTok.
05:02And I want to try doing that instead of my usual very, very messy notes and multiple notebooks.
05:07Honestly, I don't have an iPad, nor have I integrated it in my everyday workflow or in general life.
05:14The last time I had an iPad, which I actually used, I was in law school, which was quite a while back.
05:19If I'm honest, I feel like this is still a little too big for me.
05:22And after having unboxed the Pink Mini last time, I still feel like that's the perfect size.
05:27You guys know I'm a fan of tinier but powerful gadgets.
05:31Since I have smaller devices anyway, the iPad Mini just seems like the perfect in-between device.
05:36My 14-inch MacBook Pro, which I edit on, and my smaller iPhone 13 Mini or Galaxy Z Flip 3.
05:44This thing feels like just the right size to casually carry around.
05:47But I'm giving this a chance, you guys.
05:49I'm excited to put it to use because I want to see how I can multitask on this.
05:52If games are a thing on iPads, I want to see if it can fit my editing, writing, creative workflow.
05:58After all, they say that's a two times faster USB-C port, too.
06:02Like I said, I want to get to digital journaling on this.
06:05Though lol, I have a long way to go because I've seen how cute and organized digital planners can be.
06:13Either way, it's been a fun 24 hours of playing with this thing.
06:16And I'm even planning on adding a paper-like screen protector on this
06:19to make my writing even more enjoyable.
06:22But yeah, those are my personal sentiments with this new iPad.
06:25But I digress.
06:26Let's look at this thing side by side with the iPad Pro.
06:30So here we have the iPad Air 5, which we just unboxed.
06:34And here we have the iPad Pro 11-inches M1 chip.
06:39Both of them have M1 chips, actually.
06:41And as you can see, they're almost the exact same size.
06:44And well, the Magic Keyboard fits both these iPads.
06:49Of course, we see the difference in cameras.
06:51And this is also a thing that you will notice when you put the Magic Keyboard on the iPad Air.
06:58The cutout for the camera is bigger than this tiny one camera.
07:02Right side, we have the volume buttons.
07:04It's quite identical.
07:07At the bottom, same thing.
07:08Both USB-C ports.
07:11And you have speakers.
07:12And these two iPads are almost as thick as each other.
07:17Up top, as you can see, they look very similar.
07:19But if you notice this button, the power button, bigger on the iPad Air.
07:24This is also because this serves as the fingerprint scanner for the iPad Air.
07:28Meanwhile, the iPad Pro does not have fingerprint unlock.
07:31The iPad Pro does face unlock.
07:33Meanwhile, the iPad Air does not have face unlock.
07:35And it relies on the fingerprint scanner.
07:38Which, by the way, is positioned that way.
07:39So you can unlock on portrait orientation or landscape orientation.
07:44Both screens are looking very similar in size.
07:47Except the iPad Pro is just a teeny bit bigger.
07:50Of course, the iPad Pro has ProMotion.
07:53And the Air does not.
07:54Because these two iPads are powered by the same M1 chip,
07:57a lot of people have been asking about which one they should get.
08:00Or what actually is the difference between the two.
08:03Most specifically, because the third generation iPad Pro 11 inches
08:06is basically the same size as this.
08:08It can get a little confusing.
08:10But it's mostly that the iPad Pros have won more and better cameras on it.
08:15It has less color.
08:15So the iPad Air and its five colors definitely win in that department.
08:19The iPad Pro has a slightly bigger screen.
08:22But the iPad Pro also has ProMotion, which the iPad Air does not.
08:26And finally, the iPad Pro has better storage options.
08:30With the maximum being at 2TB.
08:33And most importantly, they have a 128GB variant.
08:38And that is it for today's video.
08:40Let me know what you guys think about the new iPad Air.
08:42I'd also love some recommendations on digital planning.
08:46So let me know in the comment section below.
