Upgrading from iPad air M1 to Ipad A16

I wouldn't call going from iPad Air M1 to iPad A16 an "upgrade" (less RAM, less processing power, no laminated display, etc) But if it works for you, it works.

Are any of you an android users?

Actually during last year I ditched iPhone in favour of Android and completely abandoned Windows for Mac :P For me its fine. I'm not using Safari anyway. All I need is browser history sync. If I need to send files I use localSend so yeah, for me that famous synergy is not big deal. Same for tablet.

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

Wait or Hunt it

Honestly you might benefit more from a 12.9-inch M1 or M2 iPad Pro. You get a (still) stunning miniLED display, 120Hz, Face ID, and more performance than your use case would ever call for, all for around the same price as the new iPad Air.

iPad Pro 11 (2nd gen) vs. iPad Air M4

Performance wise the Air will be better, but the display will make the device feel slower than the Pro. I had an iPad Air M1 and I almost never used it due to how unsatisfying it was to look at the 60hz LCD display. I have an OLED monitor on my PC, MiniLED display on my MBP, and a 17 Pro Max, so the

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

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

Ipad pro 13 inch M5 or M4 Air.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with the iPad Air, but if you’ve used an iPad Pro before, you give up a lot going back to an Air even if it’s a newer model with a more performant chip. I enjoyed using my M1 iPad Pro way more than I did using my partner’s M3 iPad Air. I cannot get used to the halved

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
