I think it should last another 5 years with no issues. Unfortunately, the battery won't. M1 had terrible battery efficiency, so if you buy a used one, you'll probably need a new battery pretty soon. If you manage to find an unused one, it'll probably last but battery life does suck on it. My A14 iPa

Get a refurbished iPad Air instead. Look I know it sounds dumb, but I have used the a16 iPad for exactly 1 year for studying and I have traded it with m1 iPad Air 3 weeks ago. The a16 iPad was great, and pretty fast with everything I was trying to do, BUT the screen was horrible. A non-laminated dis

Apple isn't slow to adapt, just greedy 90Hz+90Hz+. The issue is nowadays 90hz+ is pretty much a standard for that price range,it'ss not like it's a watch or a cheaper tablet buybuy.

Yeah it’s an iPad Air M1 and I bought the 64GB model knowing it wouldn’t be much but I didn’t expect 75% to be system files (cache and crap) plus software.

It's the not the update but the tablet itself. I had a iPad air5 with the same issues. Did it not seem responsive out of the box? Do you have Apple care+?

Don’t know how to break this to you but Fixing a broken digitizer on an iPad Air 4 requires replacing the entire screen assembly (fused LCD and digitizer) because the components are laminated together. This is a high-difficulty repair involving heat to remove adhesive and delicate ribbon cables. You

Yeah, that's how I've used an iPad mini since the original game out. Sadly, the iPad Pro M2 I got to replace my mini has terrible GPS reception. I had lived the idea of a giant GPS screen on the go, better split screen, etc, but the very first time I used it, it was off by around 1.5-2 miles. I look
