Hi Everyone, I am currently using an iPad Air 2 (Since the day it was released) and I think I am due an upgrade. The battery life has taken a sudden dive and also a very overheating issues etc so now is the time to say goodbye. I mostly use my iPad to play games from the App Store, a few emails for work, internet browsing when I don't want to use my phone and require a bigger screen etc. Which iPad would be best for me at that moment or are there any rumours about a refresh? Thanks

Just saw a YouTube video on this so can answer that not like an expert but with some Confidence. 😉 If You want to Play your games at 60FPS iPad Air is good the latest version. But If You wanna play your games at 140 FPS or something without any stuttering or lag. you should buy only the iPad Pro for its Beast Performance !!

Thankyou for your reply. I am currently looking at the iPad Pro 11" on the apple website and trying to convince myself to not go overboard and purchase the more expensive 12.9" model 😂 . I have looked at the new iPad Air but don't think it would be much of an upgrade would it?

The 11" iPad Pro would be no doubt a solid update. Either one 2018 or 2020 you cannot go wrong with either of them. However from your iPad Air-2 even iPad Air (2019) would not be a bad upgrade either. Just google some direct comparison between the iPad Air 2 vs iPad Air (2019) There are lot of things actually Processor, Display, True Tone, RAM Etc...

Sounds like a great choice- enjoy. My wife has one too and is very happy with it. She uses a Zugu case which seems nice quality.
