The entry-level ‌iPad‌, iPad mini, iPad Air, and iPad Pro models are all reportedly due a hardware update in 2024. Here's how the lineup of 2024 could compare to today based on rumors: 2023 The standard iPad has a 10.9-inch screen, as well as an M2 processor. The iPad Pro has the same M2 chip, but still offers better performance overall. It's also slightly larger, with an 11-inch or As for the Pro, unless you are thinking of 12.9" iPad Pro with exclusive XDR display, I think your needs would be better served with the Air. While 9th generation iPad is a great value, it's still stuck on legacy hardware -- Lightning connector (cannot use USB-C accessories and charging cable without an adapter), 1st generation Apple Pencil iPad Pro 11-inch (2021) The smaller version of Apple's two 2021 iPad Pro models has an M1 chip and optional 5G, and adds a smoother refresh-rate ProMotion display, more speakers, faster Mostly, we expect the iPad Air 6 specs to echo the iPad Pro from 2022, and the iPad 11th gen to be kind of lagging behind in tech, as usual. iPad Air 6 (2024) iPad 11th gen (2024) Size, weight. 9.75 x 7.03 x 0.24 inches*. (247.6 x 178.5 x 6.1 mm)*. 9.87 x 6.85 x 0.30 inches*. Yes, you'll see faster charging on the iPad Pro with its USB-C port, but the iPad lasted longer on our web-browsing over Wi-Fi test. The new iPad Pro lasted 10 hours and 16 minutes on this test The iPad Air, which provides a good balance between the regular iPad and the more expensive iPad Pro, will also have its backers. Since there isn't a Product Red iPhone this year, perhaps that It's worth noting that the base model MacBook Air packs a binned M1 chip with a 7-core GPU, whereas the iPad Air packs a full-fledged 8-core GPU. Of course, there's a slight theoretical difference in GPU performance, but it barely translates to real-world use. Both the MacBook Air and the iPad Air deliver more performance than you'll need iPad Pro 12.9-inch: 280.6 x 214.9 x 5.9 mm. iPad Air: Stereo speakers and TouchID in the power button. iPad Pro: Quad speaker system, FaceID in the bezel. All models: 2nd gen Apple Pencil and Another difference between the two iPads is their performance. The latest iPad (10th generation) comes with an A14 Bionic chipset with a 6-core CPU and a 4-core GPU, while the iPad Air (5th generation) features the much more powerful Apple's M1 silicon, which has an 8-core CPU and an 8-core GPU. Hence, the latter is better at video editing or mdZSp.
