![]() ![]() The iPad Air 5 (pictured) is nearly the same size and shape as the 11-inch iPad Pro 2021, and they both support key accessories like the Magic Keyboard and 2nd gen Apple Pencil. The main design difference is that the iPad Pro has an 11-inch screen whereas the iPad Air 5 features a (very slightly) smaller 10.9-inch display. The iPad Air 5 and 11-inch iPad Pro 2021 are nearly identical size-wise, as they both measure roughly 9.7 x 7 x 0.2 inches and weigh a little over a pound. Sticking with the default 128GB of storage does drop the iPad Pro’s price to $799, but that’s still $50 more than the iPad Air with 256GB and Wi-Fi. So unless you absolutely need 5G connectivity on your tablet, the $749 iPad Air with Wi-Fi and 256GB seems more enticing than the $899 iPad Pro with the same options. Remember, you can't upgrade storage on an iPad after you buy it, so you're stuck with what you've got - so it's a good idea to pay for at least 256GB of storage to ensure you have plenty of space on your tablet. (Image credit: Apple)Įven 128GB of space can be too little on an iPad, especially if you plan to shoot a lot of high-res photos/videos or download a lot of big games and apps. The new iPad Air 5 (pictured) looks to be as big and beautiful as the 11-inch iPad Pro, but for a bit less cash. The iPad Pro gets pricier from there, up to $2,099 for 2TB and Wi-Fi + Cellular.įor the sake of this price comparison, let's look at what you get for $899: an 11-inch Wi-Fi iPad Pro 2021 with 256GB of storage, or an iPad Air 5 with 256GB of storage and 5G. For $899 (the same price as the top-of-the-line Air 5 with 5G) you can get an 11-inch Pro 2021 with 256GB of storage and Wi-Fi. That's just $100 more than the cheapest iPad Pro 2021, which ships with 128GB of storage for $799. If you want everything, the pricey $899 model packs the upgraded 256GB of storage and 5G connectivity. There will be two $749 models – one with 64GB of storage and 5G, and another with 256GB and Wi-Fi. The iPad Air 5 will go on sale on March 18 with a starting price of $599 for the Wi-Fi model with 64GB of storage. You can also find it on sale for much lower than the regular price on sites like Amazon from time to time.12MP wide (f/1.8), 10-MP ultra-wide (f/2.4) If you're on a tight budget, don't care about having the fastest processor, think 9.7-inches is plenty of screen estate, don't do video calls often, don't need a lot of storage, and dislike True Tone (not everyone has to be a fan), then the iPad (2018) should be fine. Plus, the price is still considerably less than the iPad Pro, even with a maxed out Wi-Fi + Cellular version. The 10.5-inch screen is smaller than the iPad Pro options, but it's still very capable in terms of features and should be good enough for most people. Who should buy the 10.5-inch iPad Air (2019)?Īnyone who is looking to get a powerful but lightweight iPad that isn't too big or too expensive should consider the iPad Air (2019). The iPad Air (2019), however, has an impressive 7MP front camera and can do 1080p HD video. ![]() The iPad (2018) only has a measly 1.2MP front-facing camera and can only do HD video up to 720p. This means you can use Apple's Smart Keyboard, which does not have a battery and can receive updates through the iPad.Īnd finally, while the iPad Air (2019) and iPad (2018) both have the same rear-camera specs, there's a big difference with the front-facing cameras. With the iPad Air (2019), there is now a Smart Connector, making it the first non-Pro iPad to have it. The Smart Connector is a port on the left side of an iPad that provides power and a data connection to certain accessories.
