iPad Pro® vs. iPad Air®: Which One Should You Choose?
Are you ready to step up your note-taking game? Or maybe you’re tired of carrying around multiple notebooks in your backpack? An iPad® could be the perfect solution! But which one should you choose? Let’s break down the differences between the iPad Air® and iPad Pro® to help you decide which is the best fit for your needs.
Performance
iPad Pro®:
The iPad Pro® features the M4 chip with 8GB or 16GB of RAM and storage options from 256GB to 2TB, making it incredibly powerful.
iPad Air®:
Sporting the M2 chip and 8GB of RAM, the Air is no slouch either. It’s a powerhouse for everyday use, with storage options starting at 128GB and maxing out at 1TB. Great for most users who want solid performance without the Pro price tag.
Camera and Audio
iPad Pro®:
It’s got a dual rear camera setup with a 12MP wide and 10MP ultra-wide lens. The 12MP Ultra-Wide front camera with Center Stage keeps you looking sharp on video calls. With a four-speaker audio system, your music and videos will have an immersive sound.
iPad Air®:
The iPad Air® has a single 12MP rear camera, the same front camera, and stereo speakers for your audio needs. This is plenty for many users.
