The bottom rung of Apple’s product categories is better than you might think. Yes, the base iPad, iPhone SE, and Mac Mini look old but underneath their skin is some real value. We explore the options and find out which one is the best option.

mac address
lol I have the SE phone, iPad 9, and a refurb iMac. I'm definitely a budget Apple user
Is 32gb that bad nowadays with external drive support?
getting a mac mini means BYODKM(for those who dont know google it) and thats gonna enter the total price to macbook air territory
me watching this knowing fully i'll not buy any Apple product in near future
smallest ipad has lightning and old design : can't get it
new ipad has usb C but that flanky touch ID and 64GB storage and next storage is 256: can't get it
ipad air is cool but again 64 GB : can't get it,
ipad pro has USBC, M2, 2 cameras, flash, face ID, centre stage, 128GB, quad speakers, pencil magnet, 8 GB ram :: yeah lemme get that but $900 for a tablet
soooo lemme get that smallest ipad , 😀
i have an ipad 5th gen 32 gigs. I've used it for like 5 years and I still have 8 gigs left somehow. call me a wizard 🪄🪄🪄🪄
IPAD 9TH GEN BUY IT RN ITS VERY GOOD.
The only thing I wouldn’t buy anymore, is the Watch 3. Just get an SE.
This made me feel stupid for getting a iPad Pro m2, should I sell it and get the old model for way cheaper.
Greenbacks in the thumbnail, smhing my head.
I was burned by a base model 2019 MBP. 128GB hard drive space to go with that awful keyboard.
the music in this actually hurts my ears. it's some kind of weird low frequency beat and its horrific!
i feel like the best thing to do is buy the mid range options on sale. the m1 macbook air is on sale for $800 rn. what a deal!
2:36 well that frame didn’t age well, at least for this exact moment in time. iPad 9 is still sold new at the same time as the M1 iPad Air, same exact price comparison, except the M1 Air IS over twice as fast
Not that this matters if the only thing you’re using an iPad for is content consumption. It’s an excellent portable screen for video and TV streaming services, which are things my iPad Mini 2 (2013) still did just fine in early 2023 before I got rid of it. Only thing the Air has in terms of content consumption is a nicer screen, absolutely the 9 is best for light usage
This was a fantastic idea and loved it. Great stars too.
Update: The mac mini M1 is $469 on their refurb site
I bought an intel mac min 4 months before release of M1 mac mini which was almost 40% cheaper than intel 😢
Such an awesome quality video! Also very helpful!
My friend still has to deal with 32GB storage in his iPad 5th gen
ProTip get a used ipad air or Pro
Cheapest iPad: One speaker is extremely annoying. Only buy it if you don't plan to use speakers (so is air gap, but I guess you can get used to it)
Cheapest iPhone: Battery life is not great, so buy it only if you use your phone 3-4 hours a day
Cheapest Mac: you can buy an external drive for storage, however be careful with 8 gb of ram. If you do more than browsing, you'll probably want 16
what a smooth transition to ads dude haha
Im with my iPhone se 2020 for 3 years now , 3 more left .
Now my ipad air m1 laughing in corner with ipad pros
What about One Drive instead of Google Drive. I have better success w/ One Drive (and MS 365). Only thing google has going for it is it’s assistant and —— that’s it.
When I don't want to upgrade my wallet to wallet air, then i buy the cheapest option
i remember how i had to deal with 8gb storage on my phone. That was horable
