In recent years, Apple has significantly expanded the list of available models of its best (and probably the best in the world) tablet iPad. Just imagine, today on the company's official website you can find four different tablet models. In addition, each of the available models is available in Wi-Fi only or Wi-Fi plus cellular versions. And if you take into account the different colors of the case and the different amount of storage space, then it becomes clear that the choice of iPad models is really very extensive.

If you decide to buy a tablet from Apple, then such a big offer can easily confuse you. Therefore, you need to select some criteria that will help you narrow down the range of models. In our article today, we will talk with you about how to choose the right Apple iPad. Let's get started.

By and large, choosing and buying a tablet from Apple comes down to the following points:

• Decide on a model - choose one of four models.
• Choose the display diagonal - you have the opportunity to choose a model with a screen diagonal of 7.9 inches and up to 12.9 inches.
• Internal storage size - Internal storage sizes range from 32 GB to 256 GB.
• Do you need an additional cellular module or not - all basic versions of the tablet have a Wi-Fi module, but there are also options with an additional 3G or LTE module.
• Choose a case color - Apple tablets are available in silver, space gray, gold and rose gold. In addition, color options may vary depending on the model.
• Performance – Different versions of the Apple iPad have different performance.

At the moment, you can buy the following Apple iPad models:

• iPad Pro 12.9 inch
• iPad Pro 9.7 inch
• iPad (5th generation)
• iPad mini 4

And now let's take a closer look at some points of buying a tablet from Apple.

Which iPad Pro should I choose: 9.7-inch or 12.9-inch?

The iPad Pro is the most powerful tablet from the Cupertino giant. There are two variants in the Pro line, a large one at 12.9 inches and a smaller one at 9.7 inches. Of course, the larger version is very powerful and fully charged, but the smaller model also has its advantages.

So, if you're looking for a big, powerful tablet that's as powerful as a laptop, then you should go for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Although this model was developed more with an eye on the corporate segment, it is also well suited for home use. For example, thanks to the presence of four powerful speakers and a large high-quality display, watching movies on it is a real pleasure. A powerful processor will help you easily perform multiple tasks at the same time.

If you're a bit confused by the large size of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, then take a closer look at the 9.7-inch model. Don't worry, smaller size doesn't mean less performance. Conversely, the 9.7-inch model has a few tricks up its sleeve compared to the 12.9-inch. Firstly, it has the best main camera, which is not much inferior to the cameras in the iPhone. Secondly, the iPad Pro 9.7-inch display supports True Tone technology, thanks to which the color reproduction is much wider compared to the larger model.

It is worth noting that both models support the same set of accessories - a smart keyboard and a special iPen stylus.

iPad 5th generation

The 5th generation Apple iPad replaced the iPad Air 2. True, nothing much has changed in the new model compared to the old one (except for the shortened name). By and large, we have the same iPad Air 2, but with a slightly better processor. So, in the 5th generation iPad, you will find a familiar 8 megapixel camera module, a fingerprint scanner and a 9.7-inch Retina display. But most importantly, the price of the new model is significantly lower than the iPad Air 2. In addition, the new iPad has the same processor as the iPhone 6S, which makes this tablet not only the most affordable tablet from Apple, but also powerful enough to solve everyday tasks. .

iPad mini 4

We consider the iPad mini 4 the strangest model in Apple's line of tablets. In fact, we have a regular iPad Air 2, but with a screen diagonal of 7.9 inches. Of course, if you are looking for the most portable tablet that you can operate with one hand, then iPad mini 4 is your choice. Everything else (display technology, camera, processor) is still the same iPad Air 2. And given that the price of mini is comparable to the price of the 5th generation iPad, then the expediency of buying it is very doubtful.

Buying a refurbished tablet from Apple

Apple directly on the official website offers its customers to buy their officially restored products. Remember that officially restored equipment is repaired by specially trained company specialists. In addition, problem nodes are not restored during the repair process, but are completely replaced with new ones. The company also gives a 1-year warranty on refurbished equipment.

We highly recommend that you look for refurbished iPad Pros. With this purchase, you can save up to 30 percent on the cost of a new model. But we do not recommend that you buy a refurbished iPad Air 2. Due to the complexity of the repair and the high price of spare parts, the price of a refurbished model is not much different from the price of a new one. Plus, by adding about $10 to your iPad Air 2 budget, you can buy a new and better 5th generation iPad.

Choice of storage and wireless modules

The minimum amount of information storage in Apple tablets is 32 GB. We do not recommend that you buy tablets with this amount of storage. In a tablet with 32 GB, you will very often have to puzzle over what you can keep from files and what you need to delete. If models with 128 GB of storage are too expensive for you, then buy the 64 GB version. We believe that today this is the minimum amount that you should have enough for all occasions.

The Wi-Fi module is responsible for wireless connection in all iPad tablets. If your usage pattern is to always have Wi-Fi to access the internet, then you don't have to shell out extra money for a 3G or LTE module. But if you want to always have access to the Internet, no matter where you are, then you absolutely need to buy models with an additional cellular access module.

Results

If you decide to buy an Apple iPad, then you will definitely face the problem of choosing a fairly large number of models. In our material, we tried to give you guidelines that will help narrow the circle of candidates for purchase and choose a really good model. If you ask about our preferences, then we can recommend that you turn your attention to the iPad Pro series - these are the most powerful tablets with a fairly large diagonal (9.7 and 12.9 inches). But we consider the iPad 5th generation to be the most successful purchase. Today it is the most balanced model at a very attractive price. We hope that our tips will help you successfully buy a brand new iPad.

The main trump card of the new model is a relatively affordable price. In Russia, the iPad Retina 2017 will cost from 24,890 rubles for a model with 32 gigabytes of memory and a Wi-Fi module. The upper price bar of 41,890 rubles is set for a model with a cellular module and 128 gigabytes of memory.

The nearest alternative among the 9.7-inch iPad Pro will cost almost 45 thousand (32 GB, Wi-Fi). The iPad mini 4 model with a cellular module and 128 gigabytes of memory will cost 2 thousand rubles less than the iPad Retina 2017 with the same characteristics, but when choosing a compact tablet, the user will receive a less powerful processor and a smaller screen.

Of course, for the sake of such an attractive price, the tablet lost a number of technologies used in the iPad Pro. However, it is possible that such a device - quite powerful, but simplified in terms of details - will take root as a tablet for the workplace or family use. Just like the iPhone SE, the new iPad Retina 2017 combines the components and features of different generations of the tablet - let's figure out how.

Tablet Apple iPad 32GB Wi-Fi Space Gray (MP2F2RU/A)

When choosing an apple gadget, many cannot decide whether to choose the very iPad that friends recommend to them, consult on the forums, or rely on personal preferences. Making a choice is really not easy, because each apple tablet is unique in its own way. In the official sale today you can find all versions of Apple tablets, with the exception of its very first model.

iPad 1

You should not buy such a tablet, even if it is used. The only amendment is that you can buy it either at the lowest possible price, or for small children, so as not to be sorry. Causes:
The inability to update the software not only to iOS 7, but even to iOS 6. The maximum possible operating system on the first iPad is iOS 5.1.1.
Due to the small amount of RAM, the first apple tablet slows down quite a lot. Perhaps if you never use other devices, this may not be noticed. But if you try to work at least a little on newer and improved models, the feeling of braking of the first will be extremely noticeable.
Many great apps may not run on the first generation iPad due to various reasons.

iPad 2

If you remember that the second iPad was on official sale for three whole years, then we can say with confidence that this is a very successful product from Apple.

But today it is recommended to buy a second tablet from Apple only in rare cases - for a gift to children as the very first gadget, or if there is not enough money to buy a more newfangled model. You should consider a list of positive and negative qualities of this product.

Advantages:

• Compared to the first iPad, this model has more RAM, a better processor, and fixed deficiencies. The tablet itself is much lighter, there is a camera, albeit of poor quality. But almost nothing slows down and you can even chat on Skype.
• One of the decisive factors is the low price.
• Despite the imperfections of the screen, many applications look and work as they should.

Disadvantages:

• In comparison with the third apple device, we have too low screen quality. Then the understanding comes that the second is clearly outdated.
• It is important to know that this model will not last long on the market, so you should take into account the fact that it will be problematic or completely unrealistic to sell it later. Given the release of more and more new models, Apple is likely to remove the device from sale very soon.
• This tablet can also install modern iOS 7 and even iOS 8, but their performance is not guaranteed.

third generation of gadgets

Officially, this version of the tablet was sold for less than a year and was discontinued. This model is not worth buying, even a completely new one, because there really is a much better iPad. True, if a fairly cheap used model is offered for purchase, this will be the best option. New and high-quality Retina screen, good camera, very powerful processor. In general, the characteristics are very similar to the next generation of apple devices, and one can hope that Apple will continue to support the third iPad. The only thing is that it gets very hot, but not critical.

iPad 4 (aka iPad with Retina Display)

One of the latest tablets with a 9.7-inch screen is the fourth iPad. It takes into account and corrects absolutely all the shortcomings of previous models. It is perfectly compatible with the iOS 8 operating system, which allows you to install and enjoy playing all modern games and use the most popular applications, of which there are a huge number in the App Store. But against the backdrop of fresh Mini and Air gadgets, buying a fourth apple tablet is worth it only if the price is low. A slight difference to the fourth generation model is the new slim Lightning charger.

Air first series

If financial opportunities allow, then you should definitely pay attention to the latest tablets from Apple. In 2014, the world was amazed by the gadget with the Air index, and in 2015 the second generation Air came out. The tablet series features more powerful hardware, although the screen remains the same as in the previous generation of apple devices.

iPad Air 2

The second Air is considered the most powerful version of 2015 in the line of all Apple products. With its huge power reserve, it is possible to install not only the coolest programs from the App Store on the tablet, but also a variety of games that it can easily handle. The only catch is that the cost of such a gadget is commensurate with its quality and novelty.

iPad Mini (first 7.9" tablet)

Apple's first mini tablet is famous for its minimal size and weight, and has only one drawback - the lack of a retina screen. In general, in other technical parameters, it is very similar to the second iPad.

It is not expensive, has good characteristics and is quite suitable as the first mobile device for a child. True, many applications can significantly slow down and load poorly.

Many were in no hurry to buy such a device, because they knew that a more powerful and improved version of a tiny tablet would most likely be released very soon. And they weren't wrong. In 2013, Apple introduced the Mini tablet with Retina Display to the world.

Mini with Retina Display

A great tablet that has the same technical stuff as the Air-device, but at the same time much thinner, smaller and lighter.

It really deserves the "best tablet" award! Its powerful filling together with a seven-inch retina screen gives an incredible feeling of lightness, speed and high quality of the product.

Mini 3

In the wake of the popularity of the iPad mini, its third version was very disappointing. It differs from the second generation gadget only in the Touch ID function, which means that even in terms of power it is very inferior to Air 2. Will there be a similar situation with
Mini 4 is still unknown. The question of choice is only in the cost of tablets: does it make sense to overpay big money for Touch ID?

Choose between Wi-Fi and Celluar tablets (3G, 4G, LTE)

It is necessary to consider the most important points that you should pay attention to when choosing an iPad:

• Cost - Wi-Fi models are much cheaper.
• The presence of a cellular module in the LTE model allows you to access the Internet using cellular systems. It is enough just to install a SIM card on the tablet.
• The presence of a GPS module in the LTE model.

If you plan to repeatedly work with GPS, you should purchase a gadget with a 3G function. It is also necessary to take into account several nuances:

• When using the device most of the time at home, it makes no sense to choose an LTE model.
• If you want to use the tablet on the way to work and back, you should look at models with a cellular module.
• With an active lifestyle, constant trips and travels, an apple tablet with GPS is suitable.
• If you live in remote villages where there is no need for GPS, and you have never heard of 3G, you should save money and choose an iPad with Wi-Fi.

In general, the choice depends specifically on the situation. For example, if the phone has enough features, there is no need to purchase a tablet with a cellular module.

The choice between gadgets with 16/32/64/128 gigabytes of memory

When choosing between the quality and power of gadgets and the amount of their internal memory, everyone chooses what he needs specifically, depending on the situation and the purpose of the tablet from Apple.

16 gigabytes

It should be understood that 16 gigabytes is the total capacity of the tablet. In fact, the user is left with no more than 13 gigabytes, and when using the GPS program, 12 at all. That is how much remains to install various applications.
If we consider that on average a good application from the App Store weighs about 100 megabytes, and games and all 500. That is why, in most cases, you will have to make a difficult choice between the most necessary and entertaining and gaming applications to install them on a tablet with 16 gigabytes. A particular problem in the choice of priorities is in families in which the tablet is used by several different people.

32 gigabytes

One of the most optimal models is 32 gigabytes. Such a volume allows, in addition to the most necessary, to pump up half as much and other variety. The average person does not need to keep a lot of games and applications on their device. Moreover, new, more “necessary” or interesting ones constantly appear. On such a tablet, you can install several games for children, download a lot of books of different genres into iBooks, download a huge amount of music for any “taste and color”. Therefore, an ordinary person is quite enough and 32 gigabytes of memory. If you plan to spend less money, and do not plan to litter the tablet with "just in case" applications and useless games in large numbers, you should take a closer look at these versions.

64 gigabytes

This amount of memory is enough for any user of an apple gadget. Although some may not be enough. Most often, so much memory is needed for those people who store a large list of games, love to listen to music and therefore download a lot of tracks on the tablet, and sometimes prefer to watch movies on the road.

The disadvantages of versions with 64 gigabytes are a couple of facts:

• psychological pressure from the fact that there is an iPad model that is slightly more expensive, but has more memory.
• in the absence of a laptop and the constant use of a tablet, 64 gigabytes may not be enough.

Therefore, if the Apple tablet is the main and constantly used gadget, you should lean towards choosing 128 gigabytes.

128 gigabytes

The best option is a device with as much memory as possible. It takes a lot of effort to fill that much memory to the maximum. If you have enough money, you should buy such a model. It is also suitable for those who like to download almost every game in the App Store, and then store them even after multiple victories; and fans of watching different films and series in huge numbers; and those who want to make the tablet a global replacement for the computer. Therefore, if the user only wants to occasionally read a book, play a couple of games and sit on social networks, 128 gigabytes is a waste of money.

It is very easy to get confused in the iPad lineup. Even if we discard the very old devices, there will be almost a dozen iPads of different sizes, with different display diagonals, different capacities for different tasks.

A significant update of the line at the end of the year made its own adjustments, it's time to see which models are worth buying and which ones are best avoided.

current models

iPad Pro 2018 ()

A truly top model with many new features and capabilities. Cool screen with minimal bezels, new Type-C port, support for updated accessories.

All this makes the professional model interesting and attractive to buyers. Upsets only the price of the tablet. According to Apple, this iPad is more powerful than 92% of modern laptops, well, after all, it costs more than 92% of modern laptops.

If you can complete all your work tasks on this tablet, then you can easily move into a new post-PC era. For the rest, it's just an expensive cool Apple tablet.

For whom: for those who can replace their laptop or simply can afford to buy an iPad from $1000. This iPad is suitable to replace any model from the oldest to last year.

iPad Pro 10.5″ ()

The model, which was advertised and promoted last year, literally turned into a pumpkin. The 2017 tablet then seemed like a technological peak, the founder of a new lineup of 10.5-inch tablets.

In fact, the only evolutionary innovation of this tablet is the display with double the screen refresh rate. Otherwise, it is now an outdated device with support for legacy accessories.

The price is only 10-15 thousand cheaper than the new model of 2018, but the number of chips in the latter rolls over. It’s better to pay extra and use new equipment, purchasing accessories for several years in advance.

For whom: you can take it on the secondary market from those who decide to switch to a new generation and give last year's device at a nice price. Upgrading to iPad Pro 10.5″ is better from any “non-professional” tablet in order to get a large number of chips and innovations.

iPad 2018 ()

Great tablet at a great price. You can find such an iPad for 20 thousand, which is very unusual for Apple technology today. Yes, the device does not have an updated display, multiple speakers and the most powerful processor, but for most tasks and content consumption, this tablet will do just fine.

Don't forget that it also supports the first generation Apple Pencil.

It will be possible to use the device for watching videos, reading news, games, entertainment for children, mail, and even some work tasks.

For whom: for those who need to update their old iPad 2/3/4/Air.

iPad mini 4 ()

The last miniature tablet was released back in 2015. Since that moment, the device has not received even minor updates, which makes the presence of the iPad mini 4 in the current Apple lineup look very strange.

Now such devices can compete with the iPhone Plus or Max, Apple understands this and simply sells old devices.

For whom: if you still haven’t bought an iPad mini 4, then now it’s definitely not worth it.

Models discontinued

iPad 2017()

Immediately after the appearance of the device, it literally brought down the secondary market of tablets, knocking down price tags from greedy resellers. At that time, 23-25 ​​thousand for a new iPad seemed unbelievable.

A year later, the model received a minor, but very significant update. The filling of the iPad 2018 has become better and the tablet has learned to recognize the branded stylus at the same cost.

Now it is very difficult to find a new iPad in 2017 for sale, and it is not necessary to do this. The difference with the current generation of a couple of thousand is not worth it.

For whom: there is no particular point in buying this device, pay attention to the updated tablet.

iPad Pro 12.9″

This device has always looked a little strange. A huge tablet the size of a small laptop on the outside and a banal iPhone inside.

Unfortunately, Apple did not want to come up with exclusive features or modes of operation for the iPad Pro 12.9″, stretching the interface to a large display.

It’s better to carry an ultrabook with you and have a full-fledged working tool instead of a mobile OS on a big crane.

For whom: only for those who need a device to watch videos and consume content, but 9.7 inches seems small.

iPad Pro 9.7″ ()

A good proshka in a classic case. Here is a screen with True Tone, and a cool sound, and filling on the level. There is even support for Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil.

The device is a direct competitor to last year's iPad Pro 10.5″. The difference between the devices is minimal, but the price tag can differ almost twice.

For whom: for those who need to replace any old iPad or upgrade from regular to Pro.

iPad mini 3/iPad Air 2

Released in the fall of 2014, tablets can now be considered the last more or less current generation, which should be considered when buying.

Devices can be updated to iOS 12, they have Touch ID and a filling that pulls the system and most applications. Software features like Picture In Picture or SplitScreen also work.

Such devices can be found on the secondary market and bought, for example, as a news reader for parents, for video calls with grandmothers, or as a cartoon player for children.

Finally decided to purchase an Apple tablet? Few can argue with the fact that this company knows a lot about high-quality and functional gadgets. When you first study the range of tablets, it turns out that Apple has an extremely large number of them. Let's try to figure out which iPad is better to buy by examining the three main lines of tablets, comparing their technical characteristics, capabilities, as well as advantages and disadvantages.

Design

Most gadgets manufactured by Apple are made in approximately the same style. They are characterized by lightness, elegance and conciseness. Each model has thin bezels around the display, a minimum thickness, and a reliable metal case. As for the color scheme and design, then, as a rule, this is a combination of white and silver shades or deep black with a recognizable manufacturer's logo on the rear panel.

In terms of parameters and weight, tablet models differ significantly - it is recommended that you take this into account, especially if you plan to use the device outside the home.

iPad mini

iPad mini (2nd, 3rd, and 4th generations) weighs approximately 300g depending on the specific version. These models are ideal for gaming, as the devices are comfortable, comfortable in the hands, and fingers can quickly and freely touch any part of the display. Good iPad, small and compact, inexpensive, easy to carry around. But working with various programs causes some difficulties - the text, buttons and other elements are significantly reduced in size.

iPad Air, Air 2

iPad Air and Air 2 weigh up to 478 g. The presented models are the "golden mean" in terms of performance between the smallest and largest tablets from Apple. The display is quite large, but still comfortable during gameplay, although a lot depends on the specific game. In some applications, you have to actively change the location of the fingers, and with the Air parameters it is already more difficult, and the difference is 100 g. This is the best tablet for working with programs, thanks to a user-friendly interface and the right ratio of display size and image resolution.

iPad Pro

The iPad Pro is Apple's largest tablet, weighing over 700g. There is a lighter version at around 400g, which is considered the best iPad of 2016. Pro can replace a laptop, since an ordinary user will have enough of its functionality and dimensions with a vengeance, but it will not be suitable for games. It is not so easy to constantly wear and hold this model in your hands, which means that working with it is most convenient in a stationary position and with a keyboard (typing is also complicated by a large-format display). Pro is suitable for watching movies, images, creating presentations, etc., since a large high-quality screen is its main advantage, which is confirmed by numerous user reviews.

Price-quality ratio

In terms of value for money, the larger the tablet, the more expensive it is. The mini tablet is the most affordable, followed by the Air and the highest priced is the Pro lineup. It is worth noting that the difference in price between mini and Air is not so high (up to 10,000 rubles), and the cost of mini and Pro is already noticeably different. To understand which iPad is better, it is very important to determine for what purpose you are buying the gadget. The price tag is also influenced by other properties, such as the amount of internal memory and cellular support. The cheapest device is usually 16 GB and no LTE, 3G.

Performance

According to this criterion, the iPad Pro is definitely in the top of the best iPads. The tablet is equipped with the most powerful A9X processor, which makes it almost 2 times faster and more productive than the Air 2. The mini range demonstrates the lowest power ratings. Compared to Air, the performance is not much different, but the processing of graphic data in a larger model is much faster. Is it worth buying an iPad mini in this case - the processing speed does not mean that the mini is slow and does not perform its functions, it just is not designed for such high loads as the Pro (for example, the Pro supports 4K video format).

Apple iPad mini 2, 3, 4

iPad mini 2, 3, 4 are the smallest, they are characterized by compact dimensions and small thickness. Tablets are made in several variations, and the difference lies in the amount of memory (16, 32, 64, 128 GB), as well as cellular support (nano sim is used). Which iPad to buy depends on how much data you're going to store and whether or not you need those wireless networks. A SIM card slot can be present in any generation of mini - it is very important to choose the right model (should be marked + Cellular). Cellular devices work with 3G and LTE.

The 2nd and 3rd generations run on the A7 processor, and mini 4 is already many times more powerful thanks to the A8 chip. Also in the newest version, the amount of RAM has been increased from 1 to 2 GB and the camera performance has been improved - 8 megapixels compared to the previous 5 megapixels. The display of all models is almost the same and is 7.9 inches with a resolution of 2048 by 1536 pixels with excellent viewing angles. There is support for the most common book formats. Battery characteristics for all generations are almost the same - in the average activity mode, gadgets work for 10 hours without charging.

Apple iPad Air and Air 2

The Air line represents the combination of performance and compactness. It's better to take the second generation iPad, because, as is the case with any model range in the Apple product range, each new model is somehow better than the previous one. The first generation Air operates on the basis of the A7 processor chip (by the way, in its gadgets, Apple uses processors exclusively of its own production, which makes the "stuffing" more reliable). In the second generation, there is already a more powerful chip - A8X, and the amount of RAM in both devices is the same and equal to 2 GB. The user can choose from several variations with an internal drive of 16, 32, 64, 128 GB. The characteristics of the displays are no different - you have at your disposal an almost ten-inch screen (9.7) with a resolution of 2048 by 1536 pixels. It is worth noting that the Air has the same display resolution as the mini, but due to the difference in diagonals, the image on these models looks larger. A feature of gadgets is the use of Retina technology in the manufacture of displays.

Some variations of the Air also support 4G and 3G. They are marked +Cellular (have a cellular phone connection) and are equipped with slots for nano SIM cards. Unlike mini, both Air models are equipped with both rear and front cameras. The main camera of the Air 2 has a higher resolution - 8 megapixels instead of 5 megapixels, and the front ones have the same parameters - 1.2 megapixels. These good tablets use a 10-hour battery life with little user activity.

Apple iPad Pro

If you are going to take the iPad of the presented model, please note that it is available in two main versions, which differ in the diagonal of the display, as well as in some technical characteristics. The large-format good Pro tablet is equipped with a nearly thirteen-inch display (12.9), and the second device, like the Air, is presented with a 10-inch (9.7) screen. The screen resolution depends on its size. So, for 12.9 inches, a resolution of 2732 by 2048 pixels is set, and for 9.7 - 2048 by 1536. The large display is made using Retina technology. Most of the parameters in this line are the same. This concerns, first of all, performance: both tablets work thanks to the A9X processor chip with 2 GB of RAM. In addition, you can choose a model suitable for the amount of internal memory, giving preference to 32, 64, 128, 256 GB. As you can see, there is no 16 GB version. Surely the reason is that this tablet replaces a laptop, and a 16-gigabit drive would not be enough in this case. Both tablets (versions with a SIM card + Cellular) support 4G (LTE).

Fans of photography and video shooting are advised to pay attention to the technical parameters of the main camera of a ten-inch tablet - its resolution is 12 megapixels, while the "older" model is equipped with 8 megapixels. There are also differences between the front cameras - 5 and 1.2 megapixels, respectively. It should be said that in version 12.9 the camera (in particular, the rear one) is not so important, since the process of shooting with such a large tablet does not seem comfortable. Battery properties remain unchanged - 10 hours of operation in a not too active mode. Of course, the larger version of the Pro tablet requires more power, so it has more battery capacity. Finally, the design of these models should be noted. Unlike other lines of the best Apple tablets, during the development of Pro, the creators decided to deviate a little from the classics in design, and presented the tablets in silver, dark silver, gold and pink with a golden sheen.

Summarize

Having understood the features of gadgets, their strengths and weaknesses, now you have probably already decided for yourself which iPad to choose - mini or air. Each model range is aimed at a buyer with certain requirements and financial capabilities. To find out which iPad is the best and will suit you 100%, the main thing is to determine the tasks for which the tablet is purchased, as well as the conditions for its operation.
