iPad Air (5th Gen)

Of course it’s worth it , my m1 iPad Air is on fire on ios26 , 1000% the best this device has ever been, still an overpowered beast of a device and ios26 could not have been any more perfect for my fairly basic everyday usage ,have used developer beta since first AI previews dropped for usa only so

I’d go for the iPad Air 13” M3 256GB WiFi + Cellular ($750). It’s the newest/most future-proof with M3 chip, great for school apps, note-taking (full Apple Pencil Pro support), and multitasking with your 70GB+ stuff. Bigger screen than your current Air 5, 256GB solves storage, cellular adds flexibil

The Air 5. Nicer screen and M1. The M series chips are the future, I think. More and more features are available only to the M chips. (Unless you’re a clumsy fruit and have a habit of dropping iPads, in which case the A16 iPad has a much cheaper to replace screen.)

Listening to Zollotech the other day (like his style) he held a poll there was 19000 voters and 75% have upgra

That's a solid deal. I had the same model and the M1 is pretty fast with plenty of memory for multitasking.

If you don’t care as much about long term Apple support, the iPad Air 5th generation is still a great option. It offers strong performance with the M1 c

I bought the iPad Air 5 (the M1 Air) with 256 GB to take notes or do homework for engineering school. Maybe the 120 hz display would make a difference in writing or drawing fast, but I find 60 hz a relatively smooth experience overall, despite having a 120 hz iPhone at all times. I got the iPad Air

Hi everyone, I know there are so many posts on these topics and I've done a lot of research, but I'd be grateful for your opinions to help me decide which model is best to buy as my first iPad. I often see comparisons between the A16 and Air 5 M3, but rarely between the A16 and older Air models. Fac

The iPad A16 is fine for drawing if you want to buy a new (and not used) iPad. I have been in a similar situation and I can tell you this: If you are comfortable with buying refurbished/used, you can get the iPad air 5th gen for the same price (or even cheaper sometimes), which has a much better pro

I have 2.5 years m1 ipad air 5 user , not something you hear off in M chip devices but i have see a few posts about white spots ,people said it was mainly on their older ipad air device, de lamination was what they said caused this , but mainly under ipad air 5 , in fact maybe heard 1 iPad Air 5 dev
