Here's the compatibility list for Apple's newly announced OSs
I don't get it. I have an iPad Air 4 (A14) and it seems I'm getting updated to 26, but the M1 won't?

72 Hours with the MacBook Neo
I'll be honest I haven't used a Mac for a full year. I was using an iPad Air M2 with a Magic Keyboard. I don't even remember the performance of the MacBook Air M1 to be real with you as that was a longtime ago. I'm just glad I have a Mac again and a full functioning laptop as the iPad was so limitin

Is the 5th Gen iPad Air (M1) still powerful enough today?
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

is the ipad air 4 still a good option?
I have a iPad air 5 with the M1 , 64 GB , it doesn’t have enough storage to run Apple Intelligence, any update you need to delete some apps to be able to download it , if you are not planning to use ICloud Photos forget a 64 GB . Does minor task but it is starting to show it is old, Procreate runs b

Air M1 upgrade to Air M4 isn't worth it.
The iPad still cannot be used as a productivity device for me personally. Very limited Office package, as in no full Word, Excel, PowerPoint,… And for video editing, I have a powerful computer at home, which is definitely faster and easier to use. My iPad Air M1 was mostly for media consumption, gam

Wow Liquid Glass!!
And the most insane thing is that you can’t go back to iPadOS 18. Like I have no problems if anyone like iPadOS 26 with the new windowing system and all, but at least let people who dislike the new update downgrade I don’t see what’s the problem with that. I swear one of the reasons that made me tra

Anyone Else Sell their iPad for a Neo?
I have traded in my iPad Air m1 64gb for MacBook Neo 512 - this is because at times I needed desktop for doing stuff and iPad is just not it, neobook downside tho is lack of Netflix app so I can’t download movies for when I am travelling

I regret buying my iPad Pro
I disagree - iPad is a unique form factor, and I understand if it doesn’t work for everyone. You don’t have to bring it with you, choose the laptop or the tablet for the task. iPad pro’s promotion 120hz is important if you use Apple Pencil, and overall smoother especially if your other devices are 1

Should i buy the current ipad air m3 or wait for m4?
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. I can but a $250 phone and it has over 60Hz. It's the standard across all other companiesIt'ss really the older Samsun

What if Apple let you choose your OS on iPad: iPadOS or macOS based on storage tier?
I would love to run macOS on my iPad. I ended up switching my iPad Pro M2 for my daughter's iPad Air M1, because I never use it, and she does. Given the choice, I use the Mac every time. It can do more, do more at the same time, has a larger screen, and is overall more robust.
