My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: IPad Air M2
Choosing between the standard iPad, iPad Air, and iPad Pro can be a little confusing. If you want the most budget-friendly option, the 10th generation iPad is your best bet. For those looking for top-notch specs, the iPad Pro is the way to go. If you’re somewhere in the middle, the iPad Air is the sweet spot. Currently, the latest 11-inch iPad Air M2 Wifi costs $499 (originally $599) and the Wifi + Cellular version (if you don’t want to rely on Wi-Fi) costs $649 (originally $749) – they’re the same for both models . their lowest prices, according to price tracking tools.
While a $100 discount isn’t a huge amount for such an expensive item, it’s still impressive considering it’s Apple’s flagship product, released less than a year ago. The M2 chip isn’t new, but it’s a powerful processor, especially for a tablet.
The iPad Air will give you around 10 hours of battery life depending on your usage. You get Wi-Fi 6E , Bluetooth 5.3, stereo speakers, Touch ID for login, 12MP wide-angle front camera and 12MP rear camera. However, there is no IP rating for weather protection.
This smaller 11-inch version has a 2,360-by-1,640-pixel resolution on the LCD screen with a 60Hz refresh rate and 500 nits of brightness. Some new features include split screens, topic raising feature, and live text feature. You can read more about the iPad Air M2 in PCMag’s “excellent” review .
A new addition to iPad Air accessories is the ability to use Pencil Pro , but it’s still compatible with the simpler Apple Pencil (though Pencil Pro costs extra money). You can also consider using the Magic Keyboard if you want to use it as a laptop.
