Last day as a Ps4 player

Can confirm here. I play Genshin usually on the PC but I've been busy outside more often so I just play on the iPad Air M1. Its still handling this game pretty nicely without much hiccups/frame drop (I'm not an Apple fan, but holy fuck Apple M chips are insanely well-designed and beefy for mobile st

How Tech Influencers Are Ruining the iPad Experience for Actual Users

I actually disagree with a lot of this. (Although I understand your points) I agree the influencer community seems to be a big factor in apples updates at the moment. But from an iPad usability point of view I’ve owned a functional usable iPad ever since the iPad 2 upgrading every circa 2-3 years an

I feel like these are going to be running ipadOS instead of macOs

And the mobile chip has better performance but fewer cores than the M1. I am still rocking, M1 and M2 airs both for work but I really want a couple of these because battery is going to be great, I recently purchased an M3 iPad Air and it’s battery management is trash compared to my 10th gen iPad.

Apple introduces AppleCare One, streamlining coverage into a single plan with incredible value

Are your devices newer? My iPhone 14 Pro Max is $9.99, M1 iPad Air is $3.99, and Watch series 7 is $3.99, so AppleCare One is actually more expensive.

Is the 5th Gen iPad Air (M1) still powerful enough today?

Is the 5th Gen iPad Air (M1) still powerful enough today? Yes it is I found a used 64GB iPad Air 5 (M1) for the same price as a brand-new, sealed 128GB iPad 11 (A16). Do you think it's worth the trade-off? Do not get a 64 GB iPad in 2026

No new ipad 12th gen.....

Apple has way too many iPad models. iPad Air should be the base iPad at $399. The lineup should be Air, Pro, Mini. I really enjoy my M1 Air but I waited until it dropped to $399. There’s no way I can justify getting it at $599, even the new M4 that just came out… the screen is my biggest gripe and t

Don’t update any iPad with 64 gb or less, or an A14 or below to ipadOS 26!!

I have an iPad Air m1 with 64gb and it’s completely working fine. No lags or issues that’s bothering me

Upgrading from iPad air M1 to Ipad A16

I wouldn't call going from iPad Air M1 to iPad A16 an "upgrade" (less RAM, less processing power, no laminated display, etc) But if it works for you, it works.
