The Better Purchase: Apple iPad Air M2 or OLED iPad Pro?
- Apple iPad Air M2 could be a better purchase than OLED iPad Pro due to its aggressive pricing.
- Though OLED display is definitely a better choice for viewing, the price difference doesn’t make it appealing as iPad Air M2.
- The M2 iPad Air features a Liquid Retina display with True Tone and P3 wide color support that is impressive.
- The M2 packs the same chip technology that previously powered the “Pro” models which are more than enough for most users.
- iPadOS brings near identical features on both the iPad models making it difficult to perceive the extra power of the OLED iPad Pro.
- The Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil are also compatible with the affordable iPad Air M2, making it a capable productivity machine.
- Battery life is similar for both iPad Air M2 and OLED iPad Pro with a claimed 10 hours of web browsing and video playback.
- The price gap between iPad Air and OLED iPad Pro is significant, with the OLED display and a slight performance bump on the Pro models justifying the extra cost for some users.
- For most users, the affordable Apple iPad Air M2 with excellent features, beautiful display, and exceptional performance offers incredible value.
- The best Apple iPad for you depends on your specific needs and budget, but if you can live without the bells and whistles of the Pro models, the M2 iPad Air is an excellent choice.
