Those who get a 64 GB iPad shold be aware of this first: The 5th gen iPad Air will get Apple Intelligence. Which means that iPadOS + Apple Intelligence uses around 25 GB storage. on top of that you should reserve around 15 GB as the system area where iPadOS and the apps do their work. So you really

The iPad Air 5th gen would be enough, especially if you’re just planning on taking notes on it. It also has support for the Apple Pencil 2 (not pro) which charges much more conveniently (than the usbc Apple Pencil) via magnet on the iPad.

The latest iPadOS 26.1 update is not good on my iPad Air 5th generation tablet. I continue to have problems with Apple's Safari App that started after I updated this same iPad to iPadOS 26.0.1. The problem here is Apple's Safari App continues to not be able to load any websites including email accou

I bought my Air M1 5th gen in March 2023 and it has around 86% SoH left. I don’t remember the amount of cycles out of my head. The battery life is not far from awful tbh… Sometimes I get around 7 hours of usage and sometimes it burns through 8% of battery in 10 minutes of photo editing (Apple Photos

There’s certified refurbished iPads on the apple website. Any of them would honestly do you good but if it’s quality you want I’d look for anything above the M1. In my opinion the iPad Air 5th gen is the best and since it’s older it’s significantly cheaper. Just make sure you get enough storage. Lea

This is an iPadOS issue since I did not have any issues with Apple's free Safari (web browser) app especially the issue with Apple's free Safari (web browser) app not loading any websites including any email accounts at all until I upgraded my iPad Air 5th generation tablet to iPadOS 26.0.1 that is

I use PC it’s also high end and sometimes the server splits when I use my alt which I am using my iPhone 8. I would love to use my iPad Air (5th generation) but sky crashes at the TCG logo, I’ve asked the discord twice before being told to go to the in game support and not much has changed since. It

If your main priority is extended display support for studies (notes on iPad + lecture on external screen), both the Apple 11" iPad Wi‑Fi (A16) and the Apple 11" iPad Air Wi‑Fi + Cellular (M1) only mirror the display — they don’t offer a true extended desktop where you use the external screen as a s

Would you recommend getting the M1 iPad Air today? It is $379 today. I want to upgrade my iPad Pro 2017 that no longer updates, and the M1 Air seems like the perfect value today!

It’s M1 iPad Air (5th generation). One quick trick I use to differentiate between some iPad and iPhone models and generations is colors except for black, white or grey and even those may differ slightly. iPad comes in bright colors and iPad Airs comes in slightly muted ones, 6th gen is even fainter
