WEBVTT

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:09.679
another ipad you say really they just can't stop making these

00:00:08.639 --> 00:00:16.560
ipads apple's in an interesting place because they have now essentially

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:18.960
since they released the magic keyboard

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:24.160
folio for the ipad pro they've essentially turned their ipads into

00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:26.880
full-on computers with ipad os there's now this whole new category of like

00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:34.800
relatively cheap machines that you can basically use as your laptop and this is the newest

00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:38.399
entry in that category which is the ipad

00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:41.280
air 2020 edition it's 5.99

00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:43.840
which seems steep for a tablet but like i said

00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:47.360
it's not really just a tablet it's a laptop if you want to use

00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:50.480
the magic keyboard so i'm excited to look at this because

00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:53.600
at their last event they also announced the 8th gen ipad which is more of like

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

00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:02.239
starts at 329 but this one starts at 599 because it

00:01:00.879 --> 00:01:06.240
essentially has a bunch of the cool features of the

00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:10.560
ipad pro but in a cheaper package apparently

00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:15.759
we're gonna find out together let's take a look pretty cool design did

00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:21.280
you see that andy does that make you want to use this ipad

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:22.960
yes wow enthusiasm

00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:27.280
now also i'm scared because this came from dbrand right what

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:31.119
is what is this what is that supposed to be oh

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.759
Techquickie wait oh okay wait this is

00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:36.799
cool i changed my mind right away what's

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:40.720
going on here in loving memory wanik entropy is

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:44.000
unstoppable that's our server that died right or is

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

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:54.159
do we have a wanik right now why not

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:56.479
why not Techquickie nice ShortCircuit

00:01:54.159 --> 00:02:00.079
in the style of like stranger things sort of supernova oh from laszlo this is

00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:06.240
so cool who made this carpal critics yay

00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:10.800
anyways so back to what we were talking about

00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:13.760
the ipad air 2020 um so this

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:17.120
is the 10.9 inch version because that's the only version

00:02:14.959 --> 00:02:20.160
uh unlike the ipad pro which comes in 11 inch and a 12.9 inch

00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:24.400
yeah but apparently it's still compatible with the same keyboard

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

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:32.000
the 12.9 inch ipad pro 2020 along with the

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

00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:39.440
of a look at the physical hardware

00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:42.879
so on the back you'll see there's only one

00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:47.280
camera this is the 12 megapixel wide camera it's the same one that's on

00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:50.959
the previous version of the ipad pro and it also had

00:02:48.160 --> 00:02:55.920
a 10 megapixel i think ultra wide camera as well as the lidar sensor

00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:57.920
whereas this one just has the one

00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:01.280
12 megapixel wide so that's what you're getting for the slightly cheaper price

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:05.599
along with some other things that we'll talk about but this is the first

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:08.879
non-pro ipad to feature this sort of like

00:03:06.239 --> 00:03:12.400
square design here it's kind of like when was the first time they used that

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:16.319
the iphone 5 4. the iphone 4 was the first time we

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

00:03:20.480 --> 00:03:28.159
interesting i guess the ipad air is now sort of like a higher tier

00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:31.840
category than the regular ipad was that always the case what was the case with

00:03:29.519 --> 00:03:34.959
macbooks the macbook was the lowest i guess and then the macbook air yeah that

00:03:33.440 --> 00:03:41.519
makes sense i guess right the basic design is very very similar to

00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:44.000
this ipad pro from 20 whoo

00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:48.799
18 how's the bezels though i'm kind of interested

00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:51.760
oops just settle down

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

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

00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:04.400
see all those at one sandy so this is the ipad pro 2018 ipad pro

00:04:02.799 --> 00:04:07.760
2020 this is the ipad air 2020 so you got a little bit thicker

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

00:04:09.920 --> 00:04:14.879
inch anyways staying on the theme of physical hardware here we got the four speaker

00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:19.040
setup two on each side so that's also borrowed

00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:22.720
from the ipad pro design there's the magnetic pencil mount that i

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

00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:33.919
brought back touch id for the ipad air

00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:37.680
special it got a special deal on the power button

00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:42.880
on the top who do i show that to andy show it to you right there

00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:45.199
can you see that this thing

00:04:42.880 --> 00:04:48.800
that's touch id because especially in the era of masks and whatnot you know

00:04:47.440 --> 00:04:52.240
people need to use their computers without uh without their computer seeing

00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:57.280
their faces and yes i'm calling it a computer watch our other ipad videos

00:04:55.199 --> 00:05:01.120
the debate is over it's a computer now um we also have the smart connector

00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:03.600
on the back these three little dots here which should allow it to be compatible

00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:07.680
with the folio keyboard that i threw on the ground

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:14.240
hey look at that okay so i think it does it is compatible with it

00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:20.160
and then if i want to use it like a laptop

00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:23.520
there we go hola

00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:25.600
mon amigos that's not right

00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:29.680
um unfortunately we don't have the 11 inch size of the

00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:32.320
magic keyboard which i really liked when i reviewed it so i'm just gonna like

00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:36.240
bring that out so like if you'll recall from our other

00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:40.400
ipad content we got this ipad 12.9 inch ipad pro and

00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:45.440
it's got this really cool like levitating design you see that andy

00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:48.639
and the magic keys which are awesome and which i love

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

00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:56.560
um but once you start adding accessories like that

00:05:54.000 --> 00:06:00.080
and your pencil then uh things get uh things get expensive fast

00:05:58.080 --> 00:06:04.639
and also the 599 version is only for the 64 gig

00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:06.080
model so the 256 gig version i think is

00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:09.440
7.49 so that's slightly less of a good deal man this

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

00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:20.080
students maybe use that as your your laptop you know another big change

00:06:16.880 --> 00:06:20.560
is usbc you're seeing a theme here these

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

00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.280
i was excited to see this thing because one of the biggest downsides to the ipad

00:06:28.880 --> 00:06:33.280
pro was its price you know it started the 11

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:39.680
inch model starts at 800 bucks this is 64 gigs of storage

00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:42.800
for 5.99 if you got a family and they're like

00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:45.840
we're apple till we die dude and they have to get an apple product

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

00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:54.639
at what else was in the box right yeah when the box is just you know

00:06:52.400 --> 00:07:00.960
your papers your your whatsies and your doozies and you know your normal things

00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:03.599
are there stickers in there you're right there

00:07:01.520 --> 00:07:08.080
john jonah wanted me to say specifically mention the sp the stickers

00:07:06.400 --> 00:07:13.520
and you got two so you could put one sticker one place and another sticker

00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:17.520
anywhere else multiple places thanks apple

00:07:14.080 --> 00:07:19.599
you got a USB-C power adapter

00:07:17.520 --> 00:07:23.280
because as i said it's got usb-c and a usb-c to see

00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:28.240
power cord okay i've talked a lot about the outside of this thing

00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:29.440
it's time to go inside but before we do

00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:32.720
that gotta talk about our sponsor private

00:07:31.599 --> 00:07:36.960
internet access private internet access is a vpn that

00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:40.160
lets you access services and websites as if you were in a different country they

00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:43.440
encrypt all your internet traffic and they use a safe protected ip

00:07:41.919 --> 00:07:47.919
you can connect up to five devices at once because they got clients for

00:07:45.039 --> 00:07:52.400
Windows macOS Android iOS and Linux and if you sign up for a one-year plan

00:07:49.440 --> 00:07:55.599
at 39.95 you get three months free at our link in the video description so

00:07:54.400 --> 00:07:59.120
check it out hey there we go ipad os it's a computer

00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:05.520
hey it's not just a tablet anymore although it's kind of funny because

00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:09.599
ipads are really some of the only tablets worth buying in the market

00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:13.440
right now because Android tablets have just samsung's making some okay ones

00:08:11.599 --> 00:08:16.400
still but like the rest of the entire Android tablet market has just fallen

00:08:15.440 --> 00:08:21.520
off completely and the last few remaining tablets that are worth buying are now like basically

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

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

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

00:08:32.800 --> 00:08:38.640
usually have it like around here so okay here we go we're gonna map my

00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:43.120
fingerprint it works about what holy crap

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

00:08:45.760 --> 00:08:51.920
i gotta say this is this is one of the more annoying uh

00:08:48.880 --> 00:08:54.720
fingerprint mapping things i've done

00:08:51.920 --> 00:08:57.120
it did let's let's lock it are you ready for this

00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:03.440
that's pretty quick let's pray that's pretty quick john now

00:09:00.560 --> 00:09:07.279
the question is why did they include touch id

00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:08.000
instead of face id because they got

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

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

00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:22.480
whatever they i don't know what do they use dot projectors lidar project

00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:25.040
solely in uh you know and include all those fancy sensors in the bar so now

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

00:09:27.760 --> 00:09:33.279
people prefer to face id anyways because when you're just kind of like hello

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

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

00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:46.720
interesting features that apple has added to iOS 14 or ipad

00:09:42.880 --> 00:09:48.880
os 14 i guess is this uh pencil support

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

00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:55.760
pencil and it'll translate it into text something that you know Windows had a

00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:59.040
long time ago but when apple does it it's a big

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

00:10:02.160 --> 00:10:08.480
on Linus tech tips which i am going to

00:10:06.160 --> 00:10:08.480
write

00:10:11.760 --> 00:10:16.000
be sure to subscribe so now you might have been watching this whole thing and

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

00:10:20.160 --> 00:10:25.440
chip than the one in the ipad pro last generation well not even last

00:10:23.760 --> 00:10:29.680
generation was just earlier this year there's an a12z bionic in the last

00:10:28.160 --> 00:10:33.600
version and this one has the a14 bionic which is the same chip that's

00:10:32.560 --> 00:10:37.920
found in the new iphone 12 and iphone 12 pros even

00:10:36.160 --> 00:10:42.720
though this is a cheaper product in some like canned benchmarks it might

00:10:40.160 --> 00:10:47.760
even outperform the ipad pro from earlier this year as i said it's got 64

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:50.880
gigs of storage at the base level 5.99 it's got four gigs of RAM though i think

00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:55.680
you got two more gigs of RAM in the uh ipad pro and the display in

00:10:53.760 --> 00:11:01.760
addition to having these larger bezels it is only 60 hertz instead of the pro

00:10:58.880 --> 00:11:08.959
motion 120 hertz that you'll find on the ipad pro which is where'd the big

00:11:05.839 --> 00:11:11.600
where'd the unicorn one go oh it was

00:11:08.959 --> 00:11:17.680
disguised i thought this was my laptop let's turn it up you gotta turn up crab

00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:17.680
rave

00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:27.120
you can have a crab rave with that well guys there you have it it's a new ipad

00:11:25.839 --> 00:11:32.640
and if you were thinking about getting the ipad pro but you were like it's a little steep

00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:34.000
then uh consider this one after

00:11:32.640 --> 00:11:38.240
you watch our full review that's going to come out on linustechtips.com

00:11:35.920 --> 00:11:43.360
wait lionstechdesk.com is the is the forum right yeah
