M4 iPad Air vs A16 iPad 👀

On paper the M4 looks massively more powerful…but for most people the cheaper iPad might actually be the smarter buy

I compared them to see if the upgrade is really worth it

Why is it impossible to have a FaceTime call in PiP mode in this orientation? Even regular iPhones can do this…I hope Apple changes this

[Saran @SaranByte]

Biggest cons so far for me with iPhone Duo - lack of Face ID and software feeling a little janky. The latter can be fixed but not sure if I’ll get used to the lack of Face ID

[Saran @SaranByte]

@_alteredtech @unusual_whales I mean if this is true, it’s not surprising. The 18 Pros are more expensive whilst not bringing anything substantial upgrades wise. Plus most early adopters were waiting for the Duo

Ordered ✅

Glacier is way more saturated than I expected, I love it!

This is likely what will stop me from using the iPhone Duo as my main device, as much as I want to. Still excited to review it though

[Saran @SaranByte]

@_alteredtech @grok I’m surprised it’s getting warm, my M1 Air never got uncomfortably hot

[Saran @SaranByte]

Ngl I somehow found iOS 27 beta 1 to be more stable than beta 3 and now 4 😭 apps still keep crashing on me

[Saran @SaranByte]

A new case really makes your phone feel brand new again

[Saran @SaranByte]

Okay after living with the M5 MacBook Pro for a few days, my most favourite upgrade isn't even the display and speakers (although those are great too), it's the keyboard. I didn't realise how much better it would be.

[Saran @SaranByte]

Replaced my beloved M1 Air at last with the M5 MBP. Honestly, I still have no issues with my Air, but considering the price hikes, I had to upgrade before third parties increased their prices. Will pass down my M1 Air to my brother now

[Saran @SaranByte]

@_alteredtech 🙏🙏🙏

[Saran @SaranByte]

@PattonKieran Still £129 cheaper going refurb, Currys refurb is usually like new anyway

[Saran @SaranByte]

Was planning on upgrading my M1 MBA, and now that the prices have gone up I’ve gone ahead and ordered a refurb M5 MBP because I’m not paying £1999 new 😭

[Saran @SaranByte]

Weird bug I spotted today on my 17PM

[Saran @SaranByte]

Well this was expected, I just hope they still couple price increases with more storage wherever possible, like they did with the recent M5 MacBooks

[AppleTrack @appltrack]

Apple will be raising prices on products due to the skyrocketing costs of memory and storage, says Tim Cook.

It's still unclear what products will be getting more expensive, or when the hikes will take place.

[Saran @SaranByte]

New Siri AI is properly impressive - it’s not perfect ofc, but in terms of on screen awareness and personal context it’s usually spot on. Apple finally delivered 😭

[Saran @SaranByte]

Battery life on my iPhone Air on iOS 27 - pretty good I’d say, only slightly worse than iOS 26 and the phone says it’s still indexing
