rapid-noclick-resp">iPad Air</a>. Yes, it costs more than the entry-level iPad, and yes, the gulf between it and the iPad Pro has expanded. But no iPad strikes a better balance between price, performance and features. It’s Apple’s “just right” tablet — advanced enough to be a pleasure every day but not eye-wateringly expensive.</p> <p>The new iPad Air <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/ipad-air-2024-review-of-course-this-is-the-ipad-to-get-210019225.html" data-ylk="slk:earned a score of 91;cpos:3;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link rapid-noclick-resp">earned a score of 91</a> in our review. It starts at $599 for an 11-inch model or $799 for a new variant with a 13-inch display. Outside of a higher brightness rating on the 13-inch model (600 nits versus 500 nits), the two are virtually identical, so which one is best simply depends on what screen size you prefer. Most will probably spring for the 11-inch version given that it’s cheaper and much easier to hold. But the added screen real estate on the 13-inch version is great if you typically use your iPad with a keyboard case, or just want more room for movies, games or work.</p> <p>Both models are much pricier than the base iPad, but the Air’s upgrades justify the premium. It runs on Apple’s M2 system-on-a-chip (SoC), which is the same silicon found in last-gen <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/apple-ipad-pro-2022-m2-review-140026198-140026510-140026377-140026181.html" data-ylk="slk:iPad Pros;cpos:4;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link rapid-noclick-resp">iPad Pros</a> and <a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/macbook-air-m2-review-2022-130040098-130040785.html" data-ylk="slk:Macs;cpos:5;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link rapid-noclick-resp">Macs</a>. It’s overkill for web browsing, video streaming and other basic tasks, but it means performance should rarely, if ever, be an issue.</p> <p>It also makes the Air more futureproof, as a growing number of iPadOS features are only accessible with M-series chips or newer A-series silicon.

The M2 Air also has a healthy 8GB of RAM and 128GB of base storage, both of which are double the amount in the standard iPad.</p> <p>The iPad Air’s 60Hz LCD display isn’t as vibrant or smooth in motion as the 120Hz OLED panel on the new iPad Pro — which is a slight disappointment given how much these things cost — but it’s still bright, sharp and relatively accurate. It’s also a step up from the 10th-gen iPad, as it’s fully laminated, which means there’s no visible gap between the display and the front glass.</p> <p>The iPad Air has had virtually the same square-edged design for three generations now, but it remains sturdy, elegant and reasonably comfortable. It still offers a solid 10-ish hours of battery life, a USB-C port and a Touch ID fingerprint scanner built into its power button (but no Face ID). With this latest model, Apple has moved the front-facing camera to the tablet’s long edge, which is a much more natural position for FaceTime calls in landscape mode.</p> <p>Unlike the 10th-gen iPad, the Air works with the <a data-i13n="cpos:11;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/apple-pencil-pro-adds-squeeze-roll-and-haptic-feedback-to-its-bag-of-tricks-144712885.html" data-ylk="slk:Pencil Pro;cpos:11;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link rapid-noclick-resp">Pencil Pro</a>, Apple’s most featured stylus.

It’s only marginally thicker and heavier, while its 11-inch panel is just as sharp and can get just as bright. Battery life comes in at the same 10 hours, and there’s still a USB-C port and Touch ID sensor. The cameras are nearly the same, too, with its selfie cam located on the long edge. Most importantly, it gets you (nearly) all the conveniences of iPadOS for $250 less.</p> <p>This iPad runs on Apple’s A14 Bionic, the same chip used in the <a data-i13n="cpos:6;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:2" href="https://www.engadget.com/apple-iphone-12-12-pro-review-cameras-5g-performance-price-214630744.html" data-ylk="slk:iPhone 12;cpos:6;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:2;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link rapid-noclick-resp">iPhone 12</a>, and includes 4GB of memory. This combo won’t hold up as well as the Air years down the road, but it’s more than quick enough for the everyday things most people do with an iPad, be it streaming Netflix, sending emails, playing Apple Arcade games or even editing photos in Lightroom.</p> <p>The 10th-gen iPad has a worse display than the Air, with no lamination, no support for the wider <a data-i13n="cpos:7;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:2" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCI-P3" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:P3;cpos:7;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:2;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link rapid-noclick-resp">P3</a> color space and no anti-reflective coating to help fight glare. For its new price, though, it’s perfectly solid. A bigger issue might be storage: The base model has a meager 64GB, and stepping up to a 256GB model sets you back another $150.</p> <p>There are other minor downgrades. The USB-C port is technically slower in terms of data transfer speeds, topping out at 480 Mbps instead of 10 Gbps. It supports Wi-Fi 6 but not Wi-Fi 6E. It’s not compatible with the new Apple Pencil Pro, just the lesser <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:8;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:2" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=ebb3a818-66b3-46bf-98e3-16639ad8698a&featureId=editorial-text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=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&signature=AQAAAQJnHs_qdKn5OvdGKgnx1VV5-IkN7LYDvnrLp63s7PJP&gcReferrer=https://www.amazon.com/Apple-MUWA3AM-A-Pencil-USB-C/dp/B0CL7J12YK&refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2Fmobile%2Ftablets%2Fbest-ipads-how-to-pick-the-best-apple-tablet-for-you-150054066.html" class="link rapid-noclick-resp rapid-with-clickid etailiffa-link" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:USB-C Pencil;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:8;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:2;itc:0">USB-C Pencil</a> that lacks pressure sensitivity and ancient <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:9;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:2" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=ebb3a818-66b3-46bf-98e3-16639ad8698a&featureId=editorial-text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL0FwcGxlLVBlbmNpbC0xc3QtR2VuZXJhdGlvbi1BZGFwdGVyL2RwL0IwQkpMRzY5UVI_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiZWJiM2E4MTgtNjZiMy00NmJmLTk4ZTMtMTY2MzlhZDg2OThhIiwib3JpZ2luYWxVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL0FwcGxlLVBlbmNpbC0xc3QtR2VuZXJhdGlvbi1BZGFwdGVyL2RwL0IwQkpMRzY5UVIiLCJkeW5hbWljQ2VudHJhbFRyYWNraW5nSWQiOnRydWUsInNpdGVJZCI6InVzLWVuZ2FkZ2V0IiwicGFnZUlkIjoiMXAtYXV0b2xpbmsiLCJmZWF0dXJlSWQiOiJlZGl0b3JpYWwtdGV4dC1saW5rIn0&signature=AQAAAdvJpxhjqoSlyeGNy-PJb-LHTBXp16SxjirqzaHRzy6_&gcReferrer=https://www.amazon.com/Apple-Pencil-1st-Generation-Adapter/dp/B0BJLG69QR&refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2Fmobile%2Ftablets%2Fbest-ipads-how-to-pick-the-best-apple-tablet-for-you-150054066.html" class="link rapid-noclick-resp rapid-with-clickid etailiffa-link" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:first-gen model;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:9;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:2;itc:0">first-gen model</a>.

mini is exactly what it sounds like: the small iPad. Apple updated it in late October of 2024 with a new chip and support for the Apple Pencil Pro, and it's still the shortest and lightest iPad in the current lineup by some distance. As before, it has an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display that’s easier to use with one hand.</p> <p>We gave the <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:3" href="https://www.engadget.com/mobile/tablets/ipad-mini-7-review-safe-boring-and-everything-i-want-in-a-small-tablet-130039378.html" data-ylk="slk:iPad mini a review score of 83;cpos:2;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:3;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link rapid-noclick-resp">iPad mini a review score of 83</a>. Its design follows closely after that of the iPad Air: squared-off edges, thin bezels, no Home button, a Touch ID sensor in the power button, stereo speakers, decent cameras and a USB-C port. Its display is technically sharper, but otherwise gives you the same max brightness, lamination, anti-reflective coating and wide color gamut. It doesn’t have a “Smart Connector” to hook up Apple-made keyboards, but it does work with the new Apple Pencil Pro introduced in May of 2024, as well as the less expensive USB-C Apple Pencil. The Pencil Pro is a step up over the older second-generation Apple Pencil the prior mini used, with haptic feedback, a gyroscope and a “squeeze” feature for opening up a brush palette.</p> <p>The mini runs on Apple’s A17 Pro chip, the same as the one in last year’s iPhone 15 Pro series. While this chip isn’t quite as powerful as the M2 in the iPad Air, it’s more than capable enough to handle what most people will want to do with this iPad. Importantly, it’s also powerful enough for Apple Intelligence. That might not be something that compels people to upgrade, but this year’s iPad mini is definitely more futureproof than its predecessor.</p> <p>The mini has an MSRP of $499 for the 128GB model — Apple finally saw fit to double the base storage, which makes the cheapest model easier to recommend than before. If you specifically want a smaller tablet — whether it’s to easily stuff in a bag, use with one hand or treat like a high-end e-reader — this is the only one Apple sells, and the best option in its size range. </p> </div><div class="flex flex-col rounded-lg bg-marshmallow p-5 @xl/p:flex-row dark:bg-batcave clear-right mb-5"><div class="flex-1 border-solid border-dirty-seagull

But if you have cash to burn, are determined to use an iPad as your main mobile computer or just want the most technically impressive iPad possible, this is it.</p> <p>We gave the new iPad Pro a <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:4" href="https://www.engadget.com/ipad-pro-2024-review-so-very-nice-and-so-very-expensive-210012937.html" data-ylk="slk:score of 84;cpos:3;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:4;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link rapid-noclick-resp">score of 84</a> in our review. Like the iPad Air, it comes in 11- and 13-inch models: The former starts at $999, while the latter starts at $1,299. That’s prohibitively expensive for most people, but for the money you get a number of premium, if inessential, upgrades over Apple’s other tablets.</p> <p>The most significant of these is the Pro’s “tandem OLED” panel. Compared to the LCD screen on the iPad Air, this produces richer colors and deeper, more uniform black tones. Gaming and scrolling web pages look more fluid thanks to its faster 120Hz refresh rate. It can also get significantly brighter, reaching up to 1,000 nits in SDR and up to 1,600 nits with HDR highlights.</p> <p>This is where the “tandem” part comes in. Essentially, Apple is stacking two OLED panels on top of one another to improve peak brightness, which is often a (relative) weakness of traditional OLED displays. It’s <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:4" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3moprE5S3Qc&t=240s" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:a breakthrough;cpos:4;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:4;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link rapid-noclick-resp">a breakthrough</a>, but all you really need to know is that this screen is an absolute delight — one of the best we’ve seen on any consumer device, let alone a tablet. For watching movies or editing media, you really can’t do better. This same display tech is used on both the 11- and 13-inch iPad Pro, unlike previous models, so which one is best merely comes down to personal preference.</p> <p>The Pro’s design is broadly similar to that of the iPad Air, but slightly thinner and lighter. The difference isn’t huge on paper, but the Pro’s slimmed-down frames make them just that little bit easier to hold. This is particularly meaningful with the 13-inch model.</p> <p>The other headline upgrade is <a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:4" href="https://www.engadget.com/apples-m4-chip-arrives-with-a-big-focus-on-ai-142448428.html" data-ylk="slk:Apple’s new M4 SoC;cpos:5;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:4;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link rapid-noclick-resp">Apple’s new M4 SoC</a>, which is only available with the new Pros at the moment. If the M2 is overkill for the vast majority of casual and pro-level iPad tasks, then the M4 is mega-kill; it easily chewed through just about anything we threw at it. But it should be even more futureproof, and it may save a few seconds here and there if your work involves high-res media editing, heavy use of machine learning and the like.</p> <p>Beyond that, the base iPad Pro has 256GB of storage, which is twice as much as the iPad Air. It also supports more advanced features like hardware-accelerated ray tracing on its GPU, which could aid lighting in future games, and a faster neural engine, which should help with the AI features Apple has planned for the months and years ahead.</p> <p>If you <em>really</em> want to max things out, note that the 1TB and 2TB configurations have twice as much RAM (16GB) and use a technically more powerful version of the M4 with an extra performance core unlocked. Jumping to one of those SKUs costs a <em>minimum </em>of $1,599, though — and that’s before you add any accessories. Those looking to use the iPad Pro as a (very expensive) media consumption device don’t need this; if you work with memory-hungry apps or need the absolute best, just note it’ll cost you.</p> <p>The iPad Pro is the only iPad with Face ID, which remains a bit more convenient than reaching for a fingerprint scanner. It’s the only one with a Thunderbolt USB-C port, which is technically faster for transferring large files. It sounds more robust than the Air, with four built-in speakers instead of two. Its camera system isn't that different, but it includes a flash for more easily scanning documents, and it can record video in <a data-i13n="cpos:6;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:4" href="https://support.apple.com/en-us/109041" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Apple's ProRes;cpos:6;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:4;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link rapid-noclick-resp">Apple's ProRes</a> format.

It also supports the Pencil Pro stylus (but not the second-gen Pencil).</p> <p>If most of these features sound niche to you, well, yeah, that’s the idea. Unless you're willing to pay for that terrific OLED screen, the iPad Air gets close enough for a much more palatable price. And though the iPad Pro is a class-leading tablet, it is ultimately still an iPad. Certain creative professionals can use it just fine as a laptop replacement, but for most, iPadOS still makes multitasking and other computer-y tasks more convoluted than they’d be on a MacBook. Judging by the features Apple added in iPadOS 18, that’s not changing anytime soon.

A more powerful iPad Pro will feel fast for a longer time than an entry-level iPad, but each model should remain at least serviceable until Apple stops updating it, at minimum.</p><div></div><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=whats-the-difference-between-the-ipad-and-the-ipad-air>What’s the difference between the iPad and the iPad Air?</h3><p>Compared to the 10th-gen iPad, the iPad Air runs on a stronger M2 chip (instead of the A14 Bionic) and has twice as much RAM (8GB) and default storage (128GB). It’s also available in two sizes, 11 and 13 inches, whereas the 10th-gen iPad doesn't offer the larger screen option. The M-series SoC gives the Air better long-term performance, plus access to certain iPadOS features such as <a data-i13n="cpos:9;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/ipad-os-16-public-beta-preview-193037237.html" data-ylk="slk:Stage Manager;cpos:9;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Stage Manager</a>.

The latter means there’s no “air gap” between the display and the glass covering it, so it feels more like you’re directly touching what’s on screen instead of interacting with an image below the glass. The Air also works with the newer Pencil Pro stylus and a more comfortable Magic Keyboard, and its USB-C port supports faster data transfer speeds. It technically supports <a data-i13n="cpos:11;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/best-mesh-wifi-system-130028701.html" data-ylk="slk:faster Wi-Fi 6E;cpos:11;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">faster Wi-Fi 6E</a> and Bluetooth 5.3 connections as well; the lower-cost iPad uses Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.</p><p>Starting at $349, the 10th-gen iPad is $250 less expensive than the iPad Air. It has a similarly elegant design with flat edges, thin bezels, USB-C port, and a Touch ID reader. Battery life is rated at the same 10 hours, and both devices have their front-facing camera on their long edge, which is a more natural position for video calls.
