M1 iPad Air or A16 iPad?

If you care about the warranty and new battery then the iPad A16, otherwise the iPad Air is a good deal with those risks

Which is better for me, an A16 or an Air M1?

The M1 iPad is obviously more powerful than the a16 iPad. However if you’re buying 2nd hand, the battery health might not be in the best condition. And you’ll have to make sure you buy the 256gb iPad, because 64gb won’t be enough. If you find one in good condition for a good price, go for it. The a1

Is the air really really worth the extra money?

No, you can take notes perfectly well on an A16 iPad. I did for many years. Now I have the Air and realistically it's about the same. I never noticed the non-laminated screen unless I was specifically looking for the air gap. I did once. OK, it's there, no big deal. Same OS, same apps. Not worth the

I want to buy a tablet solely for studying, is an iPad worth it?

You would be fine with the current A16 iPad, which you can find for around $300 if you shop around. It may be even less expensive after they announce the new iPads in October. This will get you through dental school. If you buy an older iPad it won’t make it 6 years. Battery life deteriorates over t

iPad A16 or IPad Air

The air has a more powerful chip compared to the a16, and a laminated screen that is less reflective. My use case is the same as yours, I went for the a16 which is perfect. The screen is reflective on a low brightness setting, but only in areas with lots of light. The Air is more powerful, but if yo

I gotta be honest with me. ipad battery sucks battery went from 80% to 2% in 3hs 22 mins in my brand new ipad air m3

Using my a16 iPad I only lose like 5% battery life per hour streaming my ps4 with a ps4 controller and Apple Pencil synched during. I’m not sure why yours would drain that bad is it just Netflix’s fault? I don’t notice it with Hulu… Emulating psp and playing Persona 1 with said controller it still d

iPad A16

I use an A16 and running iPadOS 26 DB 6, no issues so far based on my usage. No battery drain as well.

iPad A16 has insane battery backup

That really depends on your use case. If you are like me who only needs it for business related stuff and not creative work (video editing or content creation). This is great. iPad is snappy and performed well with multiple apps open. The only reason I would ever want m3 or higher would be the scree

But malaking help siya once may dent/allied health major subjects na for notes, PDFs, and transes. If kaya
