iPad Web Browser + YouTube: iPad Pro or iPad Airs?

[shenfrey]

Pretty much as the title suggests. I’m no pro so could be an obvious answer there. But I know there’s other things in there, higher refresh rate and a better display.

So what do you think? Literally just a browser and media consumption tablet, no work or drawing.

Cheapest air, save money and you can upgrade with less loss. You still got the 2018 Pro though? so no need for the air i think as that is a sidegrade and not an upgrade from the 2018 iPad Pro.

I don’t unfortunately, it was given away (good cause, trust me!) and so I’m now looking for another. Wasn’t sure how good the airs were compared to the pro.

If it were me with your use case, I'd get an Air.

With your use scenario, you may want to consider a discounted 2020 iPP. You'll get a better screen than the Air 4 and better speakers than the 2020 Air, and you'll probably pay a similar price with the 2020's being discounted.

for the price difference, go with the Pro. more RAM , more storage, better speakers, m1 processor, better camera and promotion...I'm sure I am missing some other stuff but for the $200 difference I'd go with the pro.... I tried a 2020 air, didnt like the speakers when held in portrait mode , sound all sounded like it was coming from left side of screen since the speakers aren't centered on the top and bottom.

with that said, if I had a 2018 11", I would have been disappointed with the 2021, but I came from a 10.5 so pretty decent upgrade but still an iPad.

The difference is very much incremental.
