1
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:09,679
another ipad you say really they just can't stop making these

2
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:16,560
ipads apple's in an interesting place because they have now essentially

3
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:18,960
since they released the magic keyboard

4
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:24,160
folio for the ipad pro they've essentially turned their ipads into

5
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:26,880
full-on computers with ipad os there's now this whole new category of like

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:34,800
relatively cheap machines that you can basically use as your laptop and this is the newest

7
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:38,399
entry in that category which is the ipad

8
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:41,280
air 2020 edition it's 5.99

9
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:43,840
which seems steep for a tablet but like i said

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:47,360
it's not really just a tablet it's a laptop if you want to use

11
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,480
the magic keyboard so i'm excited to look at this because

12
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:53,600
at their last event they also announced the 8th gen ipad which is more of like

13
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:58,320
your traditional you know looking ipad with the big bezels on the top and bottom and that

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:02,239
starts at 329 but this one starts at 599 because it

15
00:01:00,879 --> 00:01:06,240
essentially has a bunch of the cool features of the

16
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:10,560
ipad pro but in a cheaper package apparently

17
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:15,759
we're gonna find out together let's take a look pretty cool design did

18
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:21,280
you see that andy does that make you want to use this ipad

19
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,960
yes wow enthusiasm

20
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:27,280
now also i'm scared because this came from dbrand right what

21
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:31,119
is what is this what is that supposed to be oh

22
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,759
Techquickie wait oh okay wait this is

23
00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:36,799
cool i changed my mind right away what's

24
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,720
going on here in loving memory wanik entropy is

25
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,000
unstoppable that's our server that died right or is

26
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:50,960
it still uh we have there's another wanik i don't know those server stuff that's Anthony is

27
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:54,159
do we have a wanik right now why not

28
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:56,479
why not Techquickie nice ShortCircuit

29
00:01:54,159 --> 00:02:00,079
in the style of like stranger things sort of supernova oh from laszlo this is

30
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:06,240
so cool who made this carpal critics yay

31
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:10,800
anyways so back to what we were talking about

32
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:13,760
the ipad air 2020 um so this

33
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:17,120
is the 10.9 inch version because that's the only version

34
00:02:14,959 --> 00:02:20,160
uh unlike the ipad pro which comes in 11 inch and a 12.9 inch

35
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:24,400
yeah but apparently it's still compatible with the same keyboard

36
00:02:22,239 --> 00:02:27,920
attachments as the ipad pro so i've got our old 11 inch ipad pro and i've got

37
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:32,000
the 12.9 inch ipad pro 2020 along with the

38
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:36,879
magic keyboard so we're gonna see how that goes but first let's take a little bit

39
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:39,440
of a look at the physical hardware

40
00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:42,879
so on the back you'll see there's only one

41
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:47,280
camera this is the 12 megapixel wide camera it's the same one that's on

42
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:50,959
the previous version of the ipad pro and it also had

43
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:55,920
a 10 megapixel i think ultra wide camera as well as the lidar sensor

44
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,920
whereas this one just has the one

45
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:01,280
12 megapixel wide so that's what you're getting for the slightly cheaper price

46
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,599
along with some other things that we'll talk about but this is the first

47
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,879
non-pro ipad to feature this sort of like

48
00:03:06,239 --> 00:03:12,400
square design here it's kind of like when was the first time they used that

49
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:16,319
the iphone 5 4. the iphone 4 was the first time we

50
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:22,000
kind of saw that now like this is the design language they're using for the ipad air so i guess like this is

51
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:28,159
interesting i guess the ipad air is now sort of like a higher tier

52
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:31,840
category than the regular ipad was that always the case what was the case with

53
00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:34,959
macbooks the macbook was the lowest i guess and then the macbook air yeah that

54
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:41,519
makes sense i guess right the basic design is very very similar to

55
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:44,000
this ipad pro from 20 whoo

56
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:48,799
18 how's the bezels though i'm kind of interested

57
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:51,760
oops just settle down

58
00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:54,239
oh they're right the bezels okay so the bezels are a little bit thicker on the

59
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:59,760
ipad air and i believe that they'll probably be thicker than the ipad pro too can you

60
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:04,400
see all those at one sandy so this is the ipad pro 2018 ipad pro

61
00:04:02,799 --> 00:04:07,760
2020 this is the ipad air 2020 so you got a little bit thicker

62
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,640
bezels even though it's still 11 inch well that's why it's 10.9 instead of 11

63
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,879
inch anyways staying on the theme of physical hardware here we got the four speaker

64
00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:19,040
setup two on each side so that's also borrowed

65
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,720
from the ipad pro design there's the magnetic pencil mount that i

66
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:28,080
was talking about but the other big difference here is the lack of face id they actually

67
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:33,919
brought back touch id for the ipad air

68
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:37,680
special it got a special deal on the power button

69
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:42,880
on the top who do i show that to andy show it to you right there

70
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:45,199
can you see that this thing

71
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:48,800
that's touch id because especially in the era of masks and whatnot you know

72
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,240
people need to use their computers without uh without their computer seeing

73
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:57,280
their faces and yes i'm calling it a computer watch our other ipad videos

74
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:01,120
the debate is over it's a computer now um we also have the smart connector

75
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:03,600
on the back these three little dots here which should allow it to be compatible

76
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:07,680
with the folio keyboard that i threw on the ground

77
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:14,240
hey look at that okay so i think it does it is compatible with it

78
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:20,160
and then if i want to use it like a laptop

79
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:23,520
there we go hola

80
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:25,600
mon amigos that's not right

81
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:29,680
um unfortunately we don't have the 11 inch size of the

82
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:32,320
magic keyboard which i really liked when i reviewed it so i'm just gonna like

83
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:36,240
bring that out so like if you'll recall from our other

84
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:40,400
ipad content we got this ipad 12.9 inch ipad pro and

85
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:45,440
it's got this really cool like levitating design you see that andy

86
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:48,639
and the magic keys which are awesome and which i love

87
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:53,360
so you can get like a 11 inch size of this to use with the ipad air as well

88
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:56,560
um but once you start adding accessories like that

89
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,080
and your pencil then uh things get uh things get expensive fast

90
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:04,639
and also the 599 version is only for the 64 gig

91
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,080
model so the 256 gig version i think is

92
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:09,440
7.49 so that's slightly less of a good deal man this

93
00:06:07,919 --> 00:06:13,120
thing's heavy i forgot how heavy it is this thing's a lot lighter a lot lighter

94
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:20,080
students maybe use that as your your laptop you know another big change

95
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,560
is usbc you're seeing a theme here these

96
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:26,880
are all ipad pro features that they've now ported over to the ipad air which is why

97
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:29,280
i was excited to see this thing because one of the biggest downsides to the ipad

98
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,280
pro was its price you know it started the 11

99
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:39,680
inch model starts at 800 bucks this is 64 gigs of storage

100
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:42,800
for 5.99 if you got a family and they're like

101
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,840
we're apple till we die dude and they have to get an apple product

102
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:49,840
they have to get like an ipad then you know it's an option i didn't even look

103
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:54,639
at what else was in the box right yeah when the box is just you know

104
00:06:52,400 --> 00:07:00,960
your papers your your whatsies and your doozies and you know your normal things

105
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:03,599
are there stickers in there you're right there

106
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:08,080
john jonah wanted me to say specifically mention the sp the stickers

107
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:13,520
and you got two so you could put one sticker one place and another sticker

108
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:17,520
anywhere else multiple places thanks apple

109
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:19,599
you got a USB-C power adapter

110
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:23,280
because as i said it's got usb-c and a usb-c to see

111
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:28,240
power cord okay i've talked a lot about the outside of this thing

112
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:29,440
it's time to go inside but before we do

113
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,720
that gotta talk about our sponsor private

114
00:07:31,599 --> 00:07:36,960
internet access private internet access is a vpn that

115
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:40,160
lets you access services and websites as if you were in a different country they

116
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,440
encrypt all your internet traffic and they use a safe protected ip

117
00:07:41,919 --> 00:07:47,919
you can connect up to five devices at once because they got clients for

118
00:07:45,039 --> 00:07:52,400
Windows macOS Android iOS and Linux and if you sign up for a one-year plan

119
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:55,599
at 39.95 you get three months free at our link in the video description so

120
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,120
check it out hey there we go ipad os it's a computer

121
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:05,520
hey it's not just a tablet anymore although it's kind of funny because

122
00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:09,599
ipads are really some of the only tablets worth buying in the market

123
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:13,440
right now because Android tablets have just samsung's making some okay ones

124
00:08:11,599 --> 00:08:16,400
still but like the rest of the entire Android tablet market has just fallen

125
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:21,520
off completely and the last few remaining tablets that are worth buying are now like basically

126
00:08:20,479 --> 00:08:27,039
full on computers what happened to tablets we didn't want tablets this whole time we just wanted

127
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:31,199
a different type of computer hey let's uh let's set up the touch id why not

128
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:34,880
start by placing your finger or thumb on the top button so okay so i'm gonna

129
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:38,640
usually have it like around here so okay here we go we're gonna map my

130
00:08:36,399 --> 00:08:43,120
fingerprint it works about what holy crap

131
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,440
it's getting mad at me because i'm not doing it right wow this takes a while eh

132
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:51,920
i gotta say this is this is one of the more annoying uh

133
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:54,720
fingerprint mapping things i've done

134
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:57,120
it did let's let's lock it are you ready for this

135
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:03,440
that's pretty quick let's pray that's pretty quick john now

136
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:07,279
the question is why did they include touch id

137
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,000
instead of face id because they got

138
00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:12,560
these big fat bezels you'd think they could fit it on and i already figured out the answer so

139
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:16,959
you don't have to tell me it's price it's probably more expensive to have those fancy you know infrared or

140
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:22,480
whatever they i don't know what do they use dot projectors lidar project

141
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:25,040
solely in uh you know and include all those fancy sensors in the bar so now

142
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:30,000
you got you you save a little bit of money and you get your touch id which like a lot of

143
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:33,279
people prefer to face id anyways because when you're just kind of like hello

144
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,000
hi and it doesn't recognize you it's very frustrating well now that i'm in

145
00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:40,640
here i don't really know what there is for me to do well one of the

146
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:46,720
interesting features that apple has added to iOS 14 or ipad

147
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:48,880
os 14 i guess is this uh pencil support

148
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:52,640
for just writing in any field where you can type you can now just write with a

149
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:55,760
pencil and it'll translate it into text something that you know Windows had a

150
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:59,040
long time ago but when apple does it it's a big

151
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:06,160
freaking deal that's one of the cool things but i guess we'll have to look at that when we do the full review

152
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:08,480
on Linus tech tips which i am going to

153
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,480
write

154
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,000
be sure to subscribe so now you might have been watching this whole thing and

155
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:22,000
being like what do you mean it's computer what are you talking about well this actually has a more powerful

156
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:25,440
chip than the one in the ipad pro last generation well not even last

157
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:29,680
generation was just earlier this year there's an a12z bionic in the last

158
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:33,600
version and this one has the a14 bionic which is the same chip that's

159
00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:37,920
found in the new iphone 12 and iphone 12 pros even

160
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:42,720
though this is a cheaper product in some like canned benchmarks it might

161
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:47,760
even outperform the ipad pro from earlier this year as i said it's got 64

162
