iPad Air

Is the 5th Gen iPad Air (M1) still powerful enough today? Yes it is I found a used 64GB iPad Air 5 (M1) for the same price as a brand-new, sealed 128GB iPad 11 (A16). Do you think it's worth the trade-off? Do not get a 64 GB iPad in 2026

The M1 iPad is obviously more powerful than the a16 iPad. However if you’re buying 2nd hand, the battery health might not be in the best condition. And you’ll have to make sure you buy the 256gb iPad, because 64gb won’t be enough. If you find one in good condition for a good price, go for it. The a1

this shit was the reason I sold my iPad Air 5 lol. Great device, M1 was so fast even up to point of sale but I could not deal with 64GB constantly

I’m having absolutely no issues on my M1 iPad Air. Although i do have less storage at 64GB so maybe it’s somehow related that the amount of apps you have affects it?

Honestly, get any iPad with an M chip in it. The general consensus seems to be that iPadOS isn’t even really capable of using the full power of it, and I’ve found that to be true. My iPad Air 5 with the M1 has never shown any signs of slowing down and I am consistently multitasking. My recommendatio

The only future-proofing you’ll be doing by getting more storage on an iPad would be for local AI or to hold more games on it. I used a 9.7” iPad Pro (the first small pro iPads) with 128 GB of storage for 5 years before I decided to upgrade to an M1 iPad version just because I wanted to do so. The o

I would say either an iPad with at least 256GB of storage, usb c port & support for either Apple Pencil 2 or Apple Pencil Pro So I would suggest either iPad Air (5th (M1), 6th (M2), 7th (m3) & 8th (m4)) or an iPad Pro (5th (M1), 6th (m2), 7th (M4) & 8th (M5)) I would strongly recommend m4 iPad Pro w

Maybe get a used last model Air that has 256gb storage. Really any of the M series chips is enough. That default 128gb gets pretty full when you start adding apps for art. If you have the money for new the M4 Air gets 12gb of RAM which will make it feel more responsive longer. I'm still on an M1 Air

Of course the new iPad Air with the M4 will work better and be faster than the 5th gen Air M1. And it will have a lot longer lifespan. More powerful processor and 50% boost in RAM is why How much would you get for your 5th gen if you sold it on eBay? How much does a battery replacement cost? How man

For digital art, the iPad Air line with the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen will be better than the USB-C Pencil, because it has pressure sensitivity. However, you said you could get an adapter for your current pencil… does that mean you have the 1st generation Lightning pencil with pressure sensitivity? If so
