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

Vault has become hell

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

iPad Air M1 in 2025, still at its peak.

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!

Can anyone tell what iPad this is just from this picture alone? (I ask because I thought Apple stopped writing iPad Air on the back) which gen is this?

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

My son wants to play Minecraft and I’m ignorant.

The cheapest iPad with that much ram would be the iPad Air 5th generation. Even refurbished that’s $259. Not quite sure I want to pay that for my 6 year old to have a tablet, but thank you for that insight.

Using iPad for choir

I just switched to using an iPad back in January. Second-hand iPad Air 5th Gen (10.9") from eBay for $400. Going one generation older dropped the cost significantly. Comparison of models link. You don't want 3rd Gen or earlier because those lose bezel space to having a physical button at the bottom.

Looking for an ipad for gaming

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

Help needed to buy an iPad. As an android user, I'm lost.

The cheapest iPad on Apple’s site (11th gen), which is $349 (you can use the education discount to get it for $329), is more than enough then. You can go down to the 10th generation iPad, iPad Air 5 (the M1 iPad Air), or an iPad Pro 11 inch 3rd gen/iPad Pro 12.9 inch 5th gen (the iPad pros with the

You can go on Apples website and compare the two if you really wanna dive deeper. The ipad I’m referring to is iPad Air 5th generation. I see it going for $270 on eBay certified refurbished. Which to me is a steal

Suggestions needed while buying iPad

An iPad Air 5th generation is so much better than what your looking for and go for 320 usd. But has M1 chip, laminated glass and stereo speakers. And expensive design
