iPad Air 3 (2019) Unboxing & Review! The Perfect Size By iupdate

Yo, what's going on guys, I'm Sam welcome back to Apple unboxing, we did air pods. Yesterday, the iPad Mini 5 the day before today we're taking a look at the 2019 iPad and 10.5 inch version, which is one of my favorite sized iPads. If not my favorite size, iPad of all time, this device costs 499 buckaroos. So you don't have to save up that long, maybe just a couple of months: salary, but really I think this is a reasonably priced, iPad and I think what you're getting for that package is gonna, be really cool. This also supports the Apple Pencil. It doesn't have a crazy screen, but we'll talk about all the specs once we jump inside so drop a like if you're excited hit subscribe.

If you want to see more, let's go ahead and take this out of the box. So here's a look at the packaging for the 2019 iPad Air. It is nothing special, just the iPad Air moniker on the side, a couple of Apple logos and, of course, a thin layer of plastic covering it off. We go ahead and cut that or tear it or rip it off. There's actually a really handy pull tab on here, just like for the iPad Mini, we can go ahead and then pop the top open.

We're of course resting first and foremost, is the newest iPad Air. Well unwrap that in just a moment but below. There are a couple of things that are worth noting. First, everybody's favorite, Quick, Start, Guide, and then you've also got some other terms and conditions and with the iPad Pro while they are not color matching. You of course do get to Apple stickers right below the Quick Start Guide inside the iPad Air's box is a 12 watt charging adapter, so charging your iPad is going to be relatively quick.12 watts is a pretty standard rate for an iPad, not as fast as the iPad Pro, though that actually has 18 and, of course, a lightning cable, no USB see here just yet and that's what's inside the box, absolutely nothing out of the ordinary at all, so returning it to the iPad Air 3 right here go ahead and peel that plastic off. It's always at this point: ask myself: was it really worth it should, I have paid out this much money and, in this case, I really believe that that answer is going to be? Yes, while it looks like an iPad you've already seen.

The specs inside here are perfect. There's an Apple, a 12 processor we're just gonna, make this thing absolutely lightning, fast, and I'm. Looking forward to trying that out in just a couple of minutes. Now, during the setup process, we come across a couple of the flagship features of this device, aside from the bezels being thin on the left right sides of the display, when you are holding it in portrait mode, you get thicker bezels on the top and bottom of the screen, and what that means is you get touch ID instead of face edit? It is that faster, second-generation touch, ID sensor, it is lightning fast and honestly, using it makes me miss touch ID, a lot more than I thought I would face. I'd is great, but it fails from time to time.

It is definitely not as reliable as touch ID, and it's a little slower. At the same time, I would argue, as Apple claims that it is much more secure. I think the chance of somebody being able to unlock your phone with face. I'd is one in a million where touch ID is in the 1 and 100,000 or one in 50,000 range. It's a much smaller number.

Another really nice feature that I'm. A big fan of that you'll notice during setup is true tone. So that's where the screen automatically adjusts its color temperature based on the ambient light in your environment. Some people love it. Some people hate it.

I personally think it's one of Apple's coolest features that they've ever worked on, so I will definitely be enabling that true tone display and that's pretty much when you get into the device. This is the 2019 iPad Air I still can't believe that we're talking about the iPad Air, we thought this device was dead. We'd actually only heard a rumor that this device was even in the works about a week or two before Apple just went ahead and released it, which is crazy. Usually these devices are rumored for months on end, but that's probably because this device is extremely similar to a device that Apple was already making up until this point, and that was the 10.5-inch iPad Pro from 2017 I think it's important to discuss the differences between the two, because, while there are a lot of similarities, this device could be right for you or depending on what you want to do with your iPad. The older 2017 iPad Pro could actually be a better fit a couple, big things right off the bat.

This has a 60 Hertz display, which means, while it's going to look smooth just like your iPhone, the iPad Pro from 2017 the 10.5 inch model. Just like this one, it has twice the screen refresh rate, so everything on screen is going to be twice as smooth I love that feature. That is probably my favorite Apple feature that they've introduced on a device in the past few years, just because 120 Hertz literally looks to me twice as good as 60 Hertz, so I'm, a big fan of that you don't get that with this, because for 99 Apple could include all those premium features that they were just selling a week before on a 649 dollar device, also different between the 2017 iPad Pro and the 2019 iPad Air is the camera setup. Let's talk about the cameras on this 2019 iPad I've shot a couple of samples, pics and I have to say they are extremely disappointing, and I felt the same way about pictures off of the iPad Mini when I review these devices or do a big comparison, video that I'm working on it's disappointing because Apple usually creates perfect camera systems, for example on the newest iPad pros and even on the 2018 iPhones one could argue they are some of the best cameras I mean on the market, but with these Apple just slapped some ancient cameras inside the 2019 iPad Pro, as well as the 2019 fifth generation iPad Mini. This has a 7 megapixel shooter on the front that is roughly similar to what we had on the 2017 iPad Pro where it gets a lot different is on the back.

You get an average 8 megapixel sensor on the back of this 2019 iPad Air, but you were able to shoot 4k video and get a 12 megapixel shooter on an iPad, the same size that came out almost two years ago, which is always weird to be moving forward, but also get less features at the same time. I'm, not a famine Apple does that, and I wanted to share those two big features: a worse screen and a worse camera system for a hundred and fifty dollars less on this new iPad. Now, where does it shine? Where is it better than the 2017 10.5-inch iPad Pro? Well, of course, that is going to be on what is internal? You have the a12 processor in here. It's insane. It's the aa-12 Bionic chip.

You get the same one in the iPad Mini 5 and the 2018 iPhones. It is ridiculously fast, and it's going to last you years inside this device. Apple was not the fastest in the game for processors for a really long time and then a few years ago that flipped they have the fastest processors, at least as far as mobile goes on the market and that shines in every way on this iPad. It doesn't feel to me, like a $499 tablet to me. This feels just as quick as my 2018 iPad Pro that I paid $300 more for that has an 8, 12 X Bionic, in that you have an 8 12 in this, but in day to day use you're not really going to notice a difference between the two.

It's just when push comes to shove yeah, so the faster processor can do more than the slower processor, but fast and slow. When you're talking about a 12 and a 12x, it's still fast. You know that is important to highlight, though, because if you are looking at that older 2017 iPad Pro you want that screen. You want that better camera system, it does have a slower processor. It is I, think rocking the a10 fusion ship, which again well, it's not slow.

There is a pretty big difference between that and the a12 chip. Also, before moving on to anything else, I know: I already talked about touch ID, but just take a look. Take a minute. Take a hot breath. A breather you've had a rough day at work.

The kids are driving you nuts look at this touch. I'd sensor, look at it, it's just so good. This is what I miss it is actually instantaneous. Part of me wants to say that this is the fastest touch. I'd sensor I've ever used I could just be saying that, because it's new, but it is off the screen- is off I've had totally not in use right now, one scan, and I'm in instantaneously I, just I, can't even believe it.

It's so good, and that's just adds to the value of this along with the headphone jack. If you care about the headphone jack, that is still here, that's not on the newest iPad Pro, but any I have had other than the iPad pros in 2019 does have a headphone jack. So if you really care about that- and you want to listen to music that way- that is here now a couple of other tidbits about the screen here. In addition to it being true tone, you do get a laminated display, I believe the iPad Air 2 for sure had a laminated screen. It might have been one of the first iPads to do that, but you couldn't really get a good I pad in recent history for under seven or eight hundred dollars with a laminated display.

Now you can for $4.99 or even 399, with the iPad Mini 5, it's gorgeous. It looks incredible. You can't see an air gap. There is none you're, just directly touching the content itself, and it feels incredible. Also, here you get the wider P 3, color gamut, so colors do look really great, like they should, and actually I just found one other change while looking around the device, because I definitely thought it had stereo speakers, but it doesn't another big difference between this 10.5 inch. iPad air and the 10.5-inch iPad Pro from 2017 is stereo audio. You get two nice speakers down below at the bottom of the device, but there's just nothing to the top again.

Apple wanted to cut costs here, while all D, wise I would say these speakers sound better than a 499. Our tablet should but quantity, wise, I do think there should be stereo on this device either way. You're going to be happy with the audio quality. This is not their Pro iPad. The pro iPad has the hundred twenty Hertz screen that you can buy right now.

It's got the edge to edge design. It's got really great cameras. Furthermore, it's got stereo speakers. Furthermore, it's got Apple Pencil to support. If you want all that this iPad is not for you.

This is that mid-range iPad when you want the iPad Pro, but don't want to spend that much, but you also want something better than that budget. Three hundred and twenty-nine dollars, and that's what this does, and I think it's going to fill that spot really well, even if it does only have support for the Apple Pencil. One last thing I want to touch on is Apple Pencil. One support like Apple I, get. Why you did it I know why this iPad doesn't support the second generation Apple Pencil I'm also frustrated, because I literally had to go out and buy another Apple Pencil just to make this video and to do like my review of this, because it doesn't work with the second-generation version that I have it's better.

This is an iPad pencil from 2015 or 2016, and it still works with the newest iPad in 2019, like I'm saying it should work with all iPads, but the better version doesn't work with the new s9 pannier. That doesn't make sense in my mind. Hopefully it doesn't make sense in yours either because it shouldn't, even with my sarcasm, I'm legitimately, hyped, to review this device, because I have missed more than I thought. This 10.5-inch screen size for me, the thin bezels touch ID. This is an incredible device and I think this is gonna, be a perfect value for a lot of people for $4.99. That's what the first every iPad retailed for stayed like that for a while and then in recent history, Apple started jacking the prices of where a lot of people may have just wanted this design, this traditional iPad design, but with thinner, bezels and a 10.5-inch screen for cheap, quote, unquote now put $500 is cheap, but I think it's going to get the job done and I think you're going to enjoy using this $499 tablet along the way. That's all I have for you on this 2019 iPad Air I hope you guys enjoyed this unboxing I hope you found it valuable if you did drop like down below and, of course, hit subscribe.
