iPad Air iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) vs. 13 inch iPad Air M3

Hello Everyone,

I am in need of help. I have a 2018 12.9 iPad Pro 64 GB which I used to use daily as a media device in my house. Watching videos, social media scrolling, emailing, and light duty games, excel/word document stuff. Etc. I only bought the iPad Pro for the screen size. Recently, it is getting slower, with about 61 of the 64GB being full always, and the battery lasts at best, 2-3 hours per day if I'm on it a lot.

My thought is to upgrade, but I don't know if I will be ok having the 13 inch iPad Air. I'm asking because I heard it does not have Pro Motion, and that the screen is significantly less bright and crisp. I don't know. I don't use it for heavy pro tasks. And the iPad Pro I have has gotten so slow, I find myself using my M2 15 inch MacBook Air so much at home just to do that scrolling, while sitting at the TV. I would love to get back to the iPad.

Does anyone have an insight? Or anything? I'm really confused on what to do, and thanks again! 🙂

Eight years is a good run for the original battery and regular use. You could replace the battery. You could clear the drive space and offload things you don't really need or use. You could upgrade to an M series as you mentioned.

I would forget the M3 and go for an M4. Once you use Pro Motion with the OLED screen everything else looks just, meh.

Do you mean forget the iPad air m3? My suggestion is to go for the IPP M4 of which there seems to be discounts.
