iPad Air (11-inch, M3, 2024)

It's giving iPad Air M2 to iPad Air M3... little to no difference. iPad Pro M5 is gonna be the same thing as the M4 for the most part.

have to get Goodnotes/Notability with your iPad because how bad optimized default Notes app is To be fair, GoodNotes has horrible input lag when writing to the point that I find it basically unusable. And that's on a 2025 iPad Air with an M3 processor, their writing engine is just that old. Notabili

I have an iPad Air 5th and an iPad Mini 6th. Neither is up-to-date, but neither is really bad. Looking at the current line-up of iPads, there is absolutely nothing I would need of them that my current iPads don't already do. Apple Intelligence? (Expletive) please, I have Macs with local LLMs for tha

A16 battery is better anything M. M chip is powerful and Apple hasn’t made the battery to support it yet. The number one on my list of disappointments about my M3 iPad Air is the battery life.

In the last year, I have tried the iPad Air M3 13”, the iPad A16 and the iPad Pro M5 11”. I returned the A16 and traded in the air. The pro wins. If you love iPad, I would just go for the Pro.

Indeed… I had to off load 16gb of footage from the go3s and it was going to take me over 2 hours to transfer to a iPad Air M3… it’s a joke… I just deleted the footage and sold it…

I have a 12.9 M2 Pro & 13” M4 Pro and got an 11” Air M3 a while back. I wanted something smaller, lighter, portable. Didn’t think much of the specs. I wanted something better than the A16 but not as expensive as a Pro. It was going to be my couch iPad. I was definitely wrong! The first thing I notic

I’m seeing the exact same thing on my 16 Pro and iPad Air M3 ever since they hit OS 26. I get the same symptoms whenever I switch over to the Liquid Glass interface. Even on 26.4.2, the issue persists regardless of Low Power Mode. Meanwhile, my 15 Pro and Mini 7 are still rocking 18.7.8 and have zer
