1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:09,040
welcome back to buy your mom an iPad I'm

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:11,960
Riley murdog and this is the iPad 11th

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:14,920
gen they've made 11 of these things and they' made them so many times they're

4
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:18,760
just like you know what let's just make it look the exact same let's just change

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:26,279
the inside now you may have noticed that recently we unboxed the iPad Air M3 and

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:30,720
you might be looking at that and looking at this and saying to yourself that is

7
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:34,920
the that looks like the exact they look that looks the same not only does this

8
00:00:32,599 --> 00:00:42,039
look similar to the to its direct predecessor the iPad 10th gen but it

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:47,399
looks almost the exact same as the iPad

10
00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:51,079
Air M3 which came out alongside

11
00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:55,680
this just to show you here's that M3

12
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:57,680
iPad Air they uh that's uh that's the

13
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:02,239
same that's the same iPad I guess they're thinking that like you know

14
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:06,159
iPads are basically just so good now that we basically just have to use this

15
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:09,240
this is a good body why fix what ain't broke you know what I mean wait a second

16
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:13,759
you might be thinking if there're the exact same body pretty much maybe it's

17
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:19,200
compatible with the magic keyboard attachment for the iPad Air but actually

18
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:24,960
no the magnets are not in the right spot and also it doesn't have the Pogo pins

19
00:01:21,479 --> 00:01:27,640
that connect but cuz so I guess

20
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:32,240
not however it is compatible with its own magic keyboard folio attachment but

21
00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:36,240
before we talk more about this actual iPad let's see what's in the box here we

22
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,920
got the standard paperwork doesn't come with stickers

23
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:47,200
anymore we've got a 20 W charger and

24
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:51,759
we've got the USBC cable here nice and sleeved which I discovered in the other

25
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:55,600
video is about 1 M long okay before I get distracted by any other tangents

26
00:01:53,399 --> 00:02:02,159
let's take a quick look at the outside of this thing which as far as I can tell

27
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:04,680
is pretty much identical to the iPad

28
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:10,000
10th gen the predecessor here so let's look at them both together on this side

29
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:12,720
we've got the volume up and down buttons

30
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:17,879
on the top we've got those Touch ID power buttons the two speaker grills

31
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:23,000
only one of which actually has speakers in them on this side we've got those

32
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:26,920
Pogo pins so they do have you know they do work with their own accessories just

33
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:32,560
not the other ones use the right accessories the ones that Apple tells

34
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:36,280
you to use okay on the bottom we've got

35
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:40,360
the another two speaker grills and USBC

36
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:43,640
now unlike in the higher end iPads this

37
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:47,480
USBC Port only supports USB 2 speeds up

38
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:49,440
to 480 megabit per second Max so just be

39
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:55,000
aware that's what you're getting with the base model iPad and yeah as we can

40
00:02:52,360 --> 00:03:01,879
see like the design EX on the exterior is very very similar for these one is a

41
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:07,360
different color though so note that but the 11th gen does come in the

42
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:12,480
same colors as the iPad 10th gen they have kind of more colorful colors as

43
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:18,200
opposed to kind of the more muted options for the iPad Air and iPad Pro

44
00:03:15,239 --> 00:03:23,400
because when you are when you have less money you're allowed to have fun with it

45
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,959
because otherwise You' just be sad uh

46
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:31,080
there are some differences between these iPads though which we'll be able to see when we turn them on and oh look at that

47
00:03:28,519 --> 00:03:33,920
it's a word from our sponsor paperlike if you thought that nothing could

48
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:38,360
replace that Sketchbook that you carry around with you think again transform

49
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:43,599
your iPad into the ultimate writing and drawing companion with paper like 2.1 a

50
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:48,319
uniquely designed screen protector that uses proprietary micro bead technology

51
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:52,280
called Nano dots to emulate the stroke resistance of real paper it lets display

52
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:56,599
light shine around and through the screen protector with minimal refraction

53
00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:01,040
so you get optimal picture quality and little to no glare they even have 100

54
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,640
day satisfaction guarantee so if you're not completely satisfied or messed up

55
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:08,400
while putting it on you can get a free replacement or refund pick up a paper

56
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:15,959
light today at the link down in the description now the obvious difference between these two iPads is that the iPad

57
00:04:12,079 --> 00:04:19,359
10th gen runs the A14 chip and the iPad

58
00:04:15,959 --> 00:04:22,680
11th gen has been upgraded to the Apple

59
00:04:19,359 --> 00:04:26,000
A6 processor which is the same one found

60
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:27,600
in the iPhone 15 lineup although there

61
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,039
some of them have the bionic chip but this is the a16 non Bionic so that's

62
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:38,160
obviously going to give us a performance upgrade uh hopefully Labs will tell us

63
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:40,600
uh about that in a minute but Apple also

64
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:45,680
says that you know they're they're the same Hardware wise except for this

65
00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:54,360
screen they say that the iPad 10th gen has a 10.9 in screen and the iPad 11th

66
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:57,080
gen has a 11in screen the same screen

67
00:04:54,360 --> 00:05:01,080
size as the iPad Air 11 in cuz there's also a

68
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:03,960
13in but I am trying for the life of me

69
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:10,360
to see any kind of difference here and the bezels look the same the size of the

70
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,639
actual body is oh nope it's the same I

71
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:15,080
thought for a second I was tripping but nope it's the exact same what are we

72
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:20,560
what are we talking about what are we smoking here Apple in terms of the

73
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:23,039
displays being .1 in different there's

74
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:26,680
the difference in chips giving an upgrade we're going to look at our

75
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:30,240
Benchmark data from Labs in a second but the more interesting thing to me is the

76
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:37,080
fact that apple has dropped the price again for the base

77
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:39,400
model iPad they upped the price to 450

78
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:46,120
bucks for the iPad 10th gen for the 11th gen they've dropped the

79
00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:49,880
price back down to 350 bucks and doubled

80
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:55,160
the starting storage from 64 gigs to 128

81
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:57,960
gigs so as I said in the iPad Air M3

82
00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:02,520
video you know I give Apple a lot of crap over on TechLink for their whole

83
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:08,199
ecosystem thing antitrust you know they're fighting against regulation

84
00:06:05,479 --> 00:06:13,960
trying to keep their closed garden stuff going on W Garden but when it comes to

85
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:17,639
their budget low tier products they're

86
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:19,199
doing some okay stuff Kudos again all

87
00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:24,120
right let's look at the performance numbers so like I said this has the

88
00:06:21,039 --> 00:06:28,000
Apple a16 in it it actually has one

89
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:31,880
fewer CPU core than the A14 which had

90
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:35,000
six cores this thing has a five core CPU

91
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:37,360
but it has six gigs of memory to the

92
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:43,280
iPad 10th gen's 4 gigs of memory so we got two more gigs of memory one fewer

93
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:45,560
CPU core but despite that we're getting

94
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:50,639
better performance here than on the A14 in geekbench single and multi-core we

95
00:06:47,479 --> 00:06:53,599
got 22 and 23% better respectively and

96
00:06:50,639 --> 00:07:01,199
there actually wasn't enough RAM to run our normal 3D Mark steel Nomad light uh

97
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:04,039
GPU test so Labs ran Bay instead and we

98
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:11,240
saw a 22% performance boost there as well more GPU power more fun in our 3D

99
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:17,919
Mark Wildlife extreme stress test we got a 25% increase in performance and one

100
00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:21,120
interesting note is that the abased uh

101
00:07:17,919 --> 00:07:23,639
Apple chips seem to throttle less than

102
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:27,599
the M series chips in the iPads and maybe that's because there's just less

103
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:32,960
power going on in in general but one thing for your mom to note

104
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:39,680
and for our battery life test we got about the same amount of battery life

105
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:42,360
for both iPads A14 and a16 versions got

106
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:47,280
around 9 hours all right but numbers are one thing what is it like to use I mean

107
00:07:44,919 --> 00:07:52,240
you know this is kind of the question every time you you start looking at the

108
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:57,000
mid to low tier iPads as opposed to like the iPad Pro the iPad Pro exists as this

109
00:07:54,639 --> 00:08:00,000
kind of Showcase of all of the most advanced stuff that Apple can fit into a

110
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:04,479
tablet and here it's more about like what's the

111
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:08,520
bare minimum we can do without getting complaints from people turns out the

112
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:16,570
bare minimum is still actually really good I mean like I'll show you I'll show

113
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:24,199
you it's good you know like it's it's

114
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:30,240
this is a $350 tablet it's the base model iPad things look nice and sharp

115
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:36,080
the speakers sound pretty good you know like actually I want to compare them

116
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,080
directly to the air M3

117
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:41,719
speakers okay I think is that louder I don't even

118
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:48,220
know they sound a bit

119
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:57,160
different okay so the iPad Air M3 speakers have a

120
00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:01,820
little bit more body to them there's a little bit more base to them these sound

121
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:04,399
like I tiny little bit more

122
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:11,160
tiny and I'm and I'm hearing like a little bit of distortion at that at a

123
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:14,880
little bit more Distortion at the max volume than I hear over here both of

124
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:21,399
them aren't you know they could be better but again tablets pretty good

125
00:09:18,959 --> 00:09:24,279
speakers for tablets the fact that I just recently tested this out and we're

126
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:29,160
like those speakers are pretty good and then I played this one and I was like oh those are pretty good I actually had to

127
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:33,839
put them side by side to tell that there was the difference maybe I'm dumb all

128
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:39,600
right while I have them right next to each other I will say that the displays

129
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:46,440
for both of these iPads the iPad Air M3 and the iPad uh a16 spec-wise are about

130
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:52,200
the same uh they're both same resolution LCD 60 HZ

131
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,040
IPS and they're both rated for 500 nits

132
00:09:52,200 --> 00:10:00,720
of brightness but our Labs team actually found that the this iPad Air M3 could

133
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:04,320
achieve 540 nits uh so I mean kudos to

134
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:07,560
this guy the 13-in iPad Air M3 can

135
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:09,040
actually do 600 nits uh apparently but

136
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:14,560
we don't have that one in studio so we can't verify it the other difference

137
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:20,040
with the displays is this this one has an anti-reflective coating and this one

138
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:22,360
does not which you can see actually when

139
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:27,640
we look at one of our studio lights here you can see that the reflection on the

140
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:30,279
M3 is a lot darker than the one on the

141
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:34,839
the the base model iPad so there you go science so other than that creature

142
00:10:32,519 --> 00:10:39,079
comfort of the anti-reflective coding I mean you're dealing with a user

143
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:43,120
experience here in terms of like you know the display at least that is very

144
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:50,120
very similar between this $350 iPad and that $600 iPad Air M3 but

145
00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:54,920
what about the cameras let's look at that so on paper Apple says that the

146
00:10:52,600 --> 00:11:00,079
hardware here is pretty much the same as the hardware in the other one so let's

147
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:05,760
let's check it out yeah

148
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:07,560
okay that is a photo I mean it looks

149
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:13,040
pretty good and which is exactly what I said about the other one that's a 12

150
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:20,680
megapixel Apple software processed camera what about the selfie

151
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:25,399
mode oh that's way better okay you know what I didn't I didn't uh call it out as

152
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:30,600
much in the previous video because I it didn't I was just so taken back by how

153
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:35,560
insane I looked but the processing seems a little strong on this one I know it's

154
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:39,720
like just a 12 me megapixel camera but I'm always kind of surprised that the

155
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:44,720
processing and the overall quality on selfie cameras seems to be like much

156
00:11:42,519 --> 00:11:48,160
worse than the C the quality on the back camera I feel like these days most

157
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:51,959
people are using their selfie cameras a little bit more than their back cameras

158
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:56,320
I don't know I don't know but you know it's fine it's a tablet camera is it

159
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:59,959
good for FaceTiming your grandma it's going to be good okay chill I was

160
00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:06,160
thinking about this whole buy your mom an iPhone thing because a in the last

161
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:10,040
video I did on the iPad 10th gen I made a big joke about how I was going to buy

162
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:15,320
your mom and iPad and don't worry it's already happened you like it's in the

163
00:12:12,519 --> 00:12:20,920
past forget about it but B uh the whole Tim Cook buy your mom and iPhone thing

164
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:24,639
came about because Android and iOS

165
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:27,120
didn't support the kind of like uh Rich

166
00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:31,360
messaging features that were required in order for you to send a high quality

167
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:35,839
photos and stuff this guy was saying I can't send my mom you know good photos

168
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:41,959
or she can't send them me and Tim Cook in all of his wisdom replied buy your

169
00:12:39,079 --> 00:12:41,959
mom an

170
00:12:43,639 --> 00:12:51,000
iPhone but there's another thing where I'm going to give kudos to Apple uh

171
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:56,320
they're going to support encryption now even on RCS after they added RCS support

172
00:12:53,959 --> 00:13:02,320
a while back and now just regular messaging between Android and iOS

173
00:13:00,079 --> 00:13:06,399
devices is going to be pretty good I'm not actually sure about the whether

174
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:10,760
that's fixed the like Ultra compressed image problem with the messages but

175
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:14,839
maybe the whole buy your mom and iPad buy your mom and iPhone thing is invalid

176
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:21,480
at this point so as much as I've criticized Apple in the past for kind of

177
00:13:19,079 --> 00:13:25,959
inching the iPad closer and closer towards you know like a full computer

178
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:34,000
experience only to kind of pull back at the last second uh they seem to be

179
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:37,199
earnestly trying to give product options

180
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,120
to their consumers that make sense in

181
00:13:37,199 --> 00:13:44,519
terms of price to Performance would it be nice to have an iPad that cost less

182
00:13:41,199 --> 00:13:47,399
than $350 for sure but them just taking

183
00:13:44,519 --> 00:13:50,920
the price down by 100 bucks and doubling the storage are things that they should

184
00:13:49,279 --> 00:13:54,320
have done a while back they shouldn't have never hiked the price to begin with

185
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:59,680
but the fact that they're doing it now along with the $600 Mac Mini and you

186
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:05,720
know the iPad Air M3 is like more expensive but it's still pretty decent I

187
00:14:02,519 --> 00:14:07,160
I I I it feels weird for me to say that

188
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:12,800
I like what apple is doing in this segment but I do and this right here is

189
00:14:10,079 --> 00:14:17,800
a midcycle refresh we got basically the same Hardware as before with new

190
00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:22,279
internals and I'm excited to see what they do when they do a more substantial

191
00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:26,240
upgrade because I want iPads to get weird again let's add features that

192
00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:32,519
don't belong there at all okay guys let's get wacky Tim let's get wack

193
00:14:29,839 --> 00:14:36,480
wild and you should go wild on that subscribe button to this channel short

194
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:40,880
circuit hey thanks for watching if you're looking for something else to watch now uh and you were confused about

195
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:46,079
all these references that I was making to the iPad Air M3 watch my short

196
00:14:43,399 --> 00:14:48,800
circuit on it it'll all make sense I promise
