I personally own a 13” iPad Pro M5, and I just bought my mom a new 13” iPad Air M4. I was helping her set it up this evening and played around with it for a few hours afterwards. I’m thoroughly impressed. Before my M5 iPad Pro, I had the M1 version. This is my first time using an iPad Air. I’m suprised how similar the user experience is to my iPad Pro M5. I could barely tell the difference between the two. As I was using my mom’s Air, I began to realize that I could’ve saved $400 and I probably would’ve been perfectly happy with the Air. I didn’t miss the OLED display on my Pro. The only thing I didn’t like about the Air is the Touch ID, it drove me nuts, lol…Face ID is so much more convenient. I did also notice the lower refresh rate when scrolling, which I’ll admit bothered my eyes..i have pro motion on iPhone, iPad, and Mac so my eyes are adjusted to that smoother scrolling.
So yeah, I was just caught off guard at how good the iPad Air M4 is. It’s just as snappy and fast as my iPad Pro. I would highly recommend anyone looking at the Pro to give the Air a test drive. I think a lot of people considering the Pro would be very surprised at how good it is for so much less money. We always say the iPad Pro is overkill. I thought the same thing when using the Air.
