TL;DR: I ran 6 quantized LLMs on Russet which uses Apple's first-party MLX framework on an iPhone 17 Pro and iPad Pro M5, both with 12GB RAM. LFM2.5 1.2B at 4-bit hits 124 tokens/sec on iPad and 70 tokens/sec on iPhone. iPad Pro is 1.2x–2.2x faster depending on model and prompt length, with the gap

I have an M1 air. And an M5 iPad Pro. Almost the same as you. I don’t see a reason to upgrade the M1 air just yet. Apple Silicon is hard to beat. Cuz on my battle station I run a Dell XPS with an i7, a Chromebook with a Ryzen 3 7000 and the M1 Air. I do similar things with all of them. And different

And 120 FPS is absolutely unplayable on even M5 iPads, it lags like crazy so it’s more like 80 FPS in reality avg. with wicks down to 70. I posted about this extensively before and tested/owned every M series iPad specifically for Genshin - 120 FPS is unfortunately literally just a gimmick, only 60

IPad Air is never getting oled screen, you have a choice between oled in pro or 60hz in iPad Air , the difference is in £€$ hard cash . M5 iPad Pro & m4 iPad Air both have 12GB it’s a simple choice to pay a lot more for premium oled screen or ipad Air IPad Air is mid price because it doesn’t have ol

Pitaka MagEZ Case 2 protects it on 3 unprotected sides (the bottom in landscape mode is exposed to give room for the Magic Keyboard hinge). I didn't like the yellow color and couldn't find the black one on Amazon, so I got a similar case by Spigen that also has a holder for the Apple Pencil to preve

I just bought a brand new iPad Pro M5 13inch directly from Apple late December. While it hasn’t crashed yet from turning pages, there’s times where the app’s crashed when I’m switching scores by going into my library or set list. This fear of crashing is the reason I’ve been refusing to switch to di

I have the Logitech combo touch for my 13” M5 iPad Pro and I think it’s great. Seems durable. Has an Apple pen cutout. Keyboard detaches while the iPad itself still has a back cover with a kick stand. Feels nice. Keys feel good and trackpad actually is usable. I honestly like it better than the Appl

I think is a problem of ipados 26. Any app which does not use Apple API lags with the pencil, except for iPad pro m5. I tested many apps with my iPad air, and this is consistent. At a local store, I tried ipad mini, air, a16 and pro, and only the pro does not lag with notability, goodnotes and other

This is what I’ve been using. When I purchased, it was one of the first paper-like screen protectors on tempered glass vice film, so now there may be a lot more options available. But I’ve had zero complaints with it, and it’s super durable. I just replaced one that was on my iPad for a year, and I
