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've been daily-driving the iPad Air 5th generation since I started in 2023. Apple Pencil 2, logitech combo touch keyboard. Never had any problems. I use it for note-taking, drawing, web browsing and sometimes writing as well, but I'll always finish writing a paper on my main computer just because f

For gaming in general, any iPad running an M1 chip or newer is recommended. This includes the iPad Pro 11" (3rd generation), iPad Pro 12.9" (5th generation), or iPad Air (5th generation). If you want to be more future-proofed, go for something with an M3 or newer, like the iPad Air 7th generation. T

Perfect. The iPad Air 5th Generation is a powerhouse. Perfect for your needs, for drawing, purchase an Apple Pencil 2. With an M1 chip and 8 GB of RAM, it will be supported with software for years to come. Its battery life is very good, lasting a whole day.

Get the iPad Air 5th generation. The M series chips are a major breakthrough in performance and energy efficiency that anything less isn't worth it. It also supports a better apple pencil which is a 2nd gen and magnetic charging with the air5.

The 11th gen iPad (A16)received a refresh last year and is priced at $349. It should continue receiving software updates until around 2031 or 2032. 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
