Which iPad are you buying in 2025 and why?
Comment from : @MarkEllisReviews

I just got a M2 Air and it’s brilliant and I sold a 2nd gen Pro Don’t miss the 120hz display at all and the Face ID is nice but no big deal
Comment from : @rep10Y-o9r

In short if you want an ipad just buy it hahaha 😂 Saving up for the mini or pro

you do not talk about storage
Comment from : @yvelainearmstrong9752

My choice was between the iPad 10th generation and the iPad mini 7…I went with the iPad min 7 😊 and I am loving it so much, it’s literally the perfect size!!!!! I know it doesn’t have all the features maybe the iPad 10 has but honestly I don’t need them The display is still nice……I had the Samsung galaxy tab A9 plus!!!!! So this is a huge step up! LOL now the tab A9 plus was an 11” tablet it was nice but eh it wasn’t for me I prefer IPads over android Same with iPhones I prefer apple for my devices all around 😊😊😊😊😊 thanks mark for your videos I wish more people would give the IPad mini 7 a chance because it’s a little champ!!!!!! It’s awesome!!!!!!

"There'll always be something better around the corner!" - absolute banger statement to live in the moment and enjoy the current offering instead of worrying about the next release🙌
Comment from : @22raptor56

Im gonna wait for the new apple launch in a few days See if I can get my hands on a bargain with the discounted older models
Comment from : @polum

What I learned: nothing really matters, nobody cares, and just but the last generation iPad models
Comment from : @aaron1983

I am seriously torn about if I should get AIR M2 or iPad 10 gen, I have to update from my iPad Air 4th gen for storage, I am not a tech head and spend my time playing games like infinity Nikki (open world game) and streaming movies I am just worried an iPad 10 will overheat or lag when I am on games, can you offer your input? Thanks Note I don’t use keyboards or apple pencils so that’s not a concern, I just want some good gaming on data heavy games
Comment from : @jorose343

the iPad mini REALLY IS the best device apple has ever made
Comment from : @ismailsaoud

Wow you showed foreflight in your apple mini!!
Comment from : @rogue8853

I had got a iphone 16 pro a few months ago and before I bought it I watched your videos, they were very helpful and interesting Now I am interested in an ipad and loving your help
Comment from : @sakksfifth1k

You what's funny, i just found a 6th gen ipad in a electronic dumpster, the battery has puffed up, and i reckon it's better to repair it than buying a new one, it would still serve my kids better to reuse old hardware Don't be afraid to buy refurbished or repaired devices
Comment from : @Skovsnegl

I have no money, still want to purchase ipad 11th gen
Comment from : @voiceforjustice2904

They do last! I am just about to replace my ipad air2! By daughter bought it second hand and I’ve had from her for the last 6 years, it must be 10 years old and has been faultless and constant used a lot! Brilliant kit…
Comment from : @philipbarker4420

I found an Ipad air 5 (2022) for 350$ used on ebay Do you think it's a good option? I am a student and I have a MacBook so its be used mostly as a glorified notebook What do you think?
Comment from : @arturomatamoros7421

I have a samsung s7 FE and I've had it for 5 years, but now I'm thinking of changing it for an ipad
Comment from : @nathanlynch9634

My iPad Mini 6 is perfect for on-the-go, my 11-inch iPad Pro (2023) is my everyday workhorse, and my 129-inch iPad Pro (2024) is a powerhouse I love them all!" I buy a new one every year---
Comment from : @thedominatingteacher

Great video - thank you brI still have, and regularly use, the 97" iPad Air 2 (2014) - A1567 brSo it does show these things can last!!!brIt's used mainly for watching You Tube, films downloaded off Netflix etc (particularly when travelling), reading digital newspapers and mags (eg Times Live), and doing some facetime calls, and emails Occasionally I might also use it for meetings to show a PDF of a Powerpoint presentationbrI might do more downloading of pictures and limited editing of those photos using a DSLR, while travelling I feel I should upgrade, as even scrolling through a digital newspaper can be a bit twitchy brRumours are there will soon be an iPad Air with an M4 chip I can hold on for that (providing it's still fine for photo editing using Adobe Lightroom), or buy the M4 iPad pro now - what would you suggest? For films - is the screen significantly better on the Pro than the Air?
Comment from : @sgoody1

I heard the iPad air might have a 90hz refresh rate and with my current iPhone 16 pro and Macbook Pro both having that higher refresh rate, I''m worried going back to a 60hz with the iPad air now, might make me regret not waiting Unfortunately I do need it sooner than later for work related reasons to really halp with productivity
Comment from : @TannerBiggan

I got my iPad ninth generation for Christmas in 2023 and I love it it’s buttery smooth and had great battery life and the screen is the right size to watch YouTube and TV shows I like to watch
Comment from : @kellieannmorris9377

I have the 2015 ipad pro its still going strong
Comment from : @brianmosse

Had my iPad 7 years 😂 still solid for day to day use But is struggling on bigger projects now
Comment from : @phillblake6829

Thankyou❤❤❤❤
Comment from : @kathleensteeves488

I have a IPad XR (10 generation) and it works great I don’t need anything fancy and I hate face recognition What was important to me was that I could plug in headphones I can still do upgrade if I want but don’t I get tired of trying to figure out what they changed I like the size of it
Comment from : @marthadueck6461

Buying an IPad isn’t straightforward There’s so many different types and options to choose between There’s also the fact that the updates limits the ability of the hardware performance towards software updates Therefore after a number of years the over priced iPad is useless
Comment from : @davidward8578

Watching on my m2 iPad Air 13 inch 😂
Comment from : @quendelferguson2802

Which iPad mini do you recommend?
Comment from : @HamiltonWard

I’m very hesitating should I wait for iPad 11th or just buy 10th right now(I don’t want spend more than 450 dollars anyway) How do you think how much will cost the iPad 11th after release?
Comment from : @martiiik995

I got the iPad Air 4 (2020) a few months agobrI needed an iPad for streaming, taking notes from time to time, and work a Little bit because I don’t have and I don’t need a computerbrI am absolutly happy with my purchase I got it for 400€ reconditioned It allowed me to take a few accessories asside like a Apple Pencil 2, a case (nimin, 30€ on Amazon ) and a magnetic keyboard (hou, on Amazon for 100€)brFor people that don’t need a iPad Pro for drawing or photo/video editing It’s powerfull enought to do everything most people need and still has the look of the neewest iPads !
Comment from : @irisgap5005

I need an apple to do video's in landscape mode I can not do it on my Android phone Dumb
Comment from : @DebbieSparrow

went for the Air 256gb thx
Comment from : @dbgfwbe1497

Mark I bought an iPad mini I love it! I bought it based off of your recommendations I couldn't be happier😮!
Comment from : @andrewdrittler5307

I still don’t get it There’s nothing ”pro” about an industry standard 120hz refresh rate I’d like to get a new iPad because they are really, really good and the software support is great, but iPad Pro is too expensive to get a decent display
Comment from : @JohnJohnson-jm8ku

I think i plan to upgrade my 129 inch 2020 iPad Pro with the new m4 11 inch iPad Pro I plan to use this device entirely for university And YouTube, while keeping my MacBook at home You think it is a good idea because it is also 400 bucks cheaper than the 13 inch Do you think i am wrong?
Comment from : @Mickthetechnerd

I have the first iPad Pro, I believe 2015, 129 The battery is starting to fail at holding a charge, and Apple just stopped it from getting the new updates I was thinking of the mini
Comment from : @SuperFliss

5:20 didn't you mean to say "still the best Ipad mini"?
Comment from : @hassaanrauf4349

Great Video thanks Subscribed! I have had my iPad Air for 11 years! Does not hold any battery life anymore and most apps won't work with itTime for upgrading Was thinking Pro because I want to use it to edit photos on Lightroom and not sure the Air could handle that or could it?
Comment from : @florencequinn7720

Hello Mark Ellis, nearly my birthday and I will be getting an Ipad! I like the look of 2 The Ipad mini A17 pro or the Ipad air 11inch I would like an Ipad to do planning and homework etc I am leaning towards the A17 model because it would be easy to do all that on there however the bezzles on there seem quite big do you think they get in the way? Which one should I get?
Comment from : @TrendsetterTrio

ConclusionbrU just need an Ipad get the base modelbrSize and easy to carry around go for MinibrBetter chip get an Air or Pro depending on budget and usage
Comment from : @psysya

I bought an iPad Air 11 inch after the battery on my iPad Pro began to falter after about eight years I am delighted with my purchase I certainly cannot imagine that I would need the additional facilities of the more expensive model Because I am relatively house bound I have no need for anything other than normal connectivity The screen is a delight and it works very quickly I am have just discovered your channel and have subscribed and I will be interested to see what you come up with next I would add that I also recently purchased an iPhone 15 which I am equally happy with At my age (77) I have no deed to keep up with the very latest technology
Comment from : @martinbradshaw7877

Bought a new ipad mini and its so great and the portability and functionality are both beyond what i could ask for I dont do much gaming but do read, and work off of it and its superb, couldnt recommend it enough
Comment from : @TheGrim101

3 years??? Ha, I’m currently typing on a 5th Gen from 2017, still 65-70 full strength original battery, decent speeds, maybe lags 5-10 of the time, and synchs perfectly with my new IPhone 16, and the software works perfectly I did recently buy a 10th Gen, but haven’t even opened the box yet, was maybe considering returning it, but probably won’t
Comment from : @TheNewMediaoftheDawn

I’m an apple fanboy and even I’m underwhelmed by Apple Intelligence so far Notification summaries are often wrong and missing important context, image playground is kinda cool I guess but underwhelming too I haven’t used writing tools The ads for Apple intelligence are awful
Comment from : @Devyn89

I’m watching this on a 2020 iPad 8th generation Still works great for me I use this for reading the newspaper and comic books and for watching YouTube videos With Mark’s advice I recently added the Logitech Combo case Made it feel like a new machine No plans to upgrade yet thanks!😊
Comment from : @arnharchik

I’m still using my 2017 iPad Pro in 2025
Comment from : @se7enity648

Me and my partner have the 2018/2020 iPad Pro 11 inch With both of these apparently getting iPadOS 19, I cannot see the point in getting a replacement for either I was thinking of the mini but it’s really not worth it I’ll wait and see
Comment from : @moonbaby6134

If they add a laminated and anti-reflective coating on the base iPad, I would consider it What I really want with all models is better battery life
Comment from : @Amy-gr3xc

At 73 I can’t help but laugh at how things have changed ! brI am pretty sure what I have will do me until I kick the bucket but it’s like a kid in a toy shop ! brI haven’t grown out of that mind set of having the best ! 😂
Comment from : @hotchihuahua1546

if i wasn’t such a tech nerd, i would just get and stay with the iPad mini but no…i have an 11” M4 iPad Pro with the magic keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro…becauseno reason i did however downgrade my iPhone 16 Pro Max to the iPhone 16 Plus…that blue color is killer BUT…i may just go back to the boring iPhone 16 Pro Max again because i miss 120hz 🤦🏻‍♂️
Comment from : @AnthonyNeedsTech

Just go and buy it :) capitalism is screaming so hard
Comment from : @dannymarga

Well thought through video with sound sensible advice
Comment from : @watchcommander2012

I bought the 10th generation iPadIt’s fantastic!And I use it most of the times as my main computer😊
Comment from : @TheTigia

What is your main phone these days?
Comment from : @TdrMotoo

Thank you!! This was really helpful and finally made a decision and it’ll arrive this week!
Comment from : @MsEsRA-o7d

I have the iPad 9th generation I’ve had it since it first came out and it still serves me well That being said, I do love hearing about newer iPads I like to be in the know for when the time comes to eventually replace my 9th gen (which I do not feel a need to) or even buy a secondary iPad to conserve the 9th gen’s battery a bit by having another tablet to lighten the load (if I did do that I’d likely get a Mini for content consumption and such, continuing to use my 9th gen for writing as I prefer having larger screens for digital notetaking) In any case, as a user of a now discontinued model of iPad… I can definitely say these tablets last a while The iPad 9th gen is still getting the latest iPadOS updates (albeit without the Apple Intelligence features) and it doesn’t feel very slow and sluggish despite the 60 hertz screen All in all, while I have no need to watch these buying guides currently, I really enjoy these types of videos I enjoy hearing about new tech and potentially planning ahead should the need arise Thanks for making such an enjoyable guide
Comment from : @trevinodude

The mini needed thinner boarders 😅
Comment from : @seanbrown8920

I had a strong bias towards iPad Pro from watching all the reviews saying iPad Air is a better value , iPad OS is still not there, pro motion is good but 1000 is just a waster of money bla bla I went to Apple Store saw the pro and it just hit me I’m not even poor to worry about the costs(not being a prick, just genuine thought) so just bought a iPad Pro 129 with nano Tex display Influence is a strong tool! Pick what’s right for you because value is subjective and a pragmatic approach is quintessential
Comment from : @Forced_democracy

My iPad pro’s usb c port has failed due to supposed corrosion It is only 2 years old and Apple simply said it must have some water damage (it hasn’t as I take good care of it and no liquid has ever come near it)brbrThere was no option to replace the port and was simply told to buy a new one at £1500 a time I had planned to move exclusively to my iPad but I am no longer going to risk a single port device that is not replaceable if it fails and which doesn’t have wireless charging
Comment from : @mellifluousfable

I’ll be upgrading my IPad 2018 next year I use it for everything including video editing Its A10 Fusion chip does struggle a little running LumaFusion now I could go for the cheapest ipad which I guess is still lightning quick compared to what I’m using now but I’ve got my eyes on the 11” iPad Air Hopefully that will last 6 years also!
Comment from : @MarcusTDM

I bought the mini Great iPad
Comment from : @arthurstrout5394

I got the Air3 in 2018, still rocking it, still works very well Maybe the battery isn't the best but still gets me thru a day at uni I’m thinking about buying a new one this upcoming year, so thank you for this video Mark!!
Comment from : @adamfedor1589

I upgraded from the 2019 5th Gen iPad Mini to the 7th Gen on its release day Including the trade-in, it actually cost me slightly less than its predecessor It’s the size that works for me - anything bigger would spend its life in a drawer - and really complements my Product Red iPhone 13 MinibrbrThanks, as always for the contentbrbrHappy New Year!

Comment from : @Snowsea-gs4wu

For people who want to know a bit more information about the future significant iPad-related product and upgrade Here’s all the rumors and leaks so farbr- iPad mini with 85-87” normal OLED (not Tandem OLED like this year’s iPad Pro) display are coming in 2026 An increase in size from 83” in the current modelbr- iPad Air with OLED display (also normal OLED display) are also coming in 2026 but some leakers suggest that only 11” model is coming in 2026 and 13” in 2027br- iPad Pro just got a redesign this year so it will stay like that for sometimes Only a spec dump from now on Maybe Nano-Texture display will become available for all configurations? Who knowsbr- iPad 11th Gen is coming early 2025 and it might not even support Apple Intelligencebr- Last but not least, a 20” foldable ‘iPad Pro’ is coming in 2028 Some say it’s a MacBook but I’ll assumed it’s an iPad for the sake of this comment brbrOther than those iPad’s Here’s an additional MacBook rumors for some of you guys that are choosing between an iPad or MacBook br- MacBook Pro with Tandem OLED display are coming 2026 with a total redesign Thinner, lighter, and no notch Same philosophy as this year’s iPad Probr- MacBook Air with normal OLED display are coming 2028 The reason it’s so late to party is because Apple wants to keep the price down And so far there has been no rumor about a redesign, meaning the massive notch will still be therebrbrNote: Next year iPad Air and possibly iPad 11th will get a new Magic Keyboard It probably won’t have a metal top part like the one that comes with this year’s iPad Pro but it will definitely have a functions row I only hopes that Apple just improves the Magic Keyboard Folio It is hand downs the best iPad Magic Keyboard ever in my humble opinion
Comment from : @kearsargeyt8848

If Paperlike improves the functionality of a touch display in terms of writing, and takes nothing away, I wonder why manufacturers of screen devices on which writing can happen don't make the screens with that Paperlike quality

Comment from : @ErdemAltunhan

I just bought a new iPad Air this week as a late xmas prezzie to myself, to replace my old 1st gen iPad Air from 2013brI mainly use mine as a multimedia and internet browsing device It just feels more "comfy" to use than a laptopbrWas iextremely/i tempted by that iPad Pro screen but can't justify the price difference
Comment from : @OffensiveMark

I love the mini Light, way to fast for anything I do and the battery life is great

im waiting for the M5 iPad Pro

It’s not 2025
Comment from : @agent2099_

Great summary of what’s out there I’m very happy with my 10th Gen iPad It’s perfect for sitting at the kitchen table and watching YouTube, responding to emails, or even paying bills I don’t need Apple Intelligence on my iPad (I’ll use my phone or MacBook Air if I need that) Get an iPad 10 if you need an iPad
Comment from : @toddhumphrey7961

I have the Ipad pro 6th gen 129 inch for almost a year as a gift and was thinking about downgrading it to the mini because it is so big

Mark, great review, 1st vid of yours, just subscribed! Have you heard of people having eye problems with the 2024 Oled screen? I have had a lot of eye surgeries and they strain easily so I’m concerned about that Though I only hear it is an amazing Screen!

I sold my mini 6 and decided to go for the iPad Air 11” M2 I have no regrets
Comment from : @Matthew-jq7ld

iPad Air the best all rounder
Comment from : @terrym3837

No special reason I bought a Ipad Pro just because I wanted it It strained my budget but I am happy with it I did not get the pencil or keyboard and its still amazing to use I went from a Ipad air 2 to a Ipad Pro with a M4 chip
Comment from : @chivachava3899

Best advice either cheapest iPad or iPad mini Save your money for iPad Air or iPad Pro, buying MacBook Air or Mac Mini instead
Comment from : @sunflash9

Very nice video
Comment from : @murtazachaudhary3339

I’ve brought the 11 inch M4 iPad Pro on the end of last May! Wonderful iPad, especially coming from a first generation Pro from 2016! The M4 is an oversized processor for iPad OS, but who knows what Apple has in store for the future?
