I struggle to decide M2 Pro vs. M2 Air. NEVER MIND, 11-Pro is better if you can find a better price.

Same chip so performance is the same.

11" M2 IPad Pro is better in many other things over 11" M2 Air. at the same price point.


Pro has better screen (120Hz screen)
Thunder Bolt 4! vs UBC-C regular on the M2 Air
UltraWide Camera vs. removed on the M2 Air
Pen 2 compatibility about the same weight.
FACE ID vs. Touch ID
5 Microphones vs 2
4 Speakers vs 2
re-use your magic accessories
1.04 ls vs. 10.2 lbs
ProRes, and ProRes RAW
ProRes encode and decode engine
NO Apple Pencil Pro support on M2 iPad Pro


Same storage size at 128GB too.

I don't need Pen v3's features since I'm no artist...

Is that the only thing? Pen V3 and new MagicKeyboard? I don't buy gear just to use the new acces

thanks for the better link! Desktop browser will show all 3 columns where I posted the original comment. I had the first column for M4 for another comparison but on mobile it only showed me firsts 2 columns.

If you have a better deal than 5% off, then post it.

This is a brand new item and it hasn't even been released yet, so any discount off of the retail price can be considered a deal.

As others have noted, the previous 11" iPad Pro is a better buy at the moment if somebody can get it for a good price, but all of those are likely to be gone pretty soon.

I'm a bit disappointed with the ProMotion on the iPad Pro M2 -- unlike my iPhone, not many apps use the high refresh rate mode. Things look clearly better when scrolling on my iPhone 13 PM than same site on iPad Pro M2. Even Apple's own Safari browser doesn't support ProMotion!

I am struggling to decide too.

I use my current iPad (7th Gen) mostly for browsing, watching movies, video calls, and light gaming like Solitaire, etc. I am trying to decide whether to upgrade to the Pro M2 or the Air M2. I like the Pro because it has a better screen but I like that the Air has the camera on the landscape side. Is the screen going to be that much better on the Pro? If so, I might go that route.

What the. really?? That's kind of dumb. I assumed all apps will automatically take advantage.

I am wavering....

I see the 64GB M1 Air for $399 at Wallmart. Then it's just $150 more to get M2 Air with better camera position, new chip and extra storage at 128GB and new pencil support lol. (Apple EDU M2 Air is $55). Seems like a worthy upgrade to M2 more for just $150

I also have to decide which ipad to trade in

12.9" iPad Pro Gen 9 year old!!! for $105 trade-in - still decent but battery is like 3 hours max. fine for bathroom use lol

ipad 7th gen like yours but with just 32GB storage $105 - speaker is horrible and not loud enough to use in bathroom while I am taking a shower/bath. Yes, I entertain myself with netflix and youtube while I shower! Smilie

ipad Mini 6 - probably keep this since I did pay for 5G also. $265 - I am trying to use this more since it's so light.

ipad Pro 12.9 2018 $285 - heavy af, I hate taking this out of the house so it's just at home most of the time but then I have macbooks if I'm home.


Then Pro is just $899 at Apple Edu website

I don't use Zoom on my iPads so the camera position actually does not bother me at all.


I am really just looking for a shiny new object...
