iPad A16 (Brand New) or iPad Air M4 (Used - Like New)
Air M4 100% Better in every way, aside from the price. Much faster, with more RAM, so will last far longer and can run the "AAA" games Apple is advertising if you want. Support for the better Apple Pencil Better (laminated) display Will likely support more features as the OS updates go on, whilst th

Ipad Air or Ipad A16 or macbook neo
iPads are excellent for study. Use OneNote through Office 365 to take your notes and then you can access them easily whilst you’re in your Microsoft computer at home. If money isn’t a factor, the m4 air is the recommendation, especially if you get the Apple pencil pro. However, the iPad A16 with the

Apple pencil broke, what can I get?
Make sure it’s compatible with whatever Apple tablet you have as well. I got the new iPad A16 chip but had to go back to the 1st gen pencil for pressure sensitivity.

Is the air really really worth the extra money?
No, you can take notes perfectly well on an A16 iPad. I did for many years. Now I have the Air and realistically it's about the same. I never noticed the non-laminated screen unless I was specifically looking for the air gap. I did once. OK, it's there, no big deal. Same OS, same apps. Not worth the

I feel like I’m going round in circles here. 😂
I would go for the A16 iPad or a refurbished m1 or m2 iPad Air. The A16 isn’t a bad chip but getting into the M chips will let that iPad work flawlessly for a long time. Plus the airs have better compatibility with the Apple pencils I believe.

M1 iPad Air or A16 iPad?
If it's the 256GB M1 Air, and you are fine buying a used iPad without warranty, then the Air is the better product It has a more powerful processor, it has more RAM, it has a laminated display, and it uses Pencil 2 (or some very good $30 clones) that charge magnetically on the side The iPad 11 (A16)

Best entry level iPad for teens
Easy- the A16 iPad 128gb currently at its lowest price at $274. You can add an Apple Pencil to the order. It’s also on sale at its lowest price for $49. Unlike Android or Windows devices, there’s no bad (cheap, malfunctioning) Apple device, just ones with less features. https://www.amazon.com/Apple-

I'm looking for an Ipad I can use with Procreate for some art- Very overwhelmed with all the options as someone who's never used any apple products before, help?
Firstly I would avoid 64GB models and aim for at least 128 as you will find storage an issue. You’ll loose 30GB easy to iPadOS and system data. If you can stretch to £300 you can get the base model iPad for around that price often on sale, it’ll be called 2025 iPad, iPad A16 or iPad 11th gen. It wou

What are the best iPads widely used by students right now?
An iPad with Apple Pencil USB-C or Apple Pencil Pro The Apple Pencil Pro is so nice to use, with the pressure sensitivity. Also, iPad Air and Pro have laminated screens, so you don't hear a tapping sound when you use the apple pencil But I use an iPad A16 with Apple Pencil USB-C and it works just fi
