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.
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...

I almost am leaning towards samsung for a tablet.. I have apple devices but also android.. and thing is it almost looks like the fe's are better screenwise and all.. granted I dont think id be doing video calls anyways.. facetime I rarely use... its generally fb messenger.

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

https://www.apple.com/ipad/compar...11-4th-gen

I'll take the one that's 10.2 lbs. That way I can use it for weight training and productivity at the same time.

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.
Edu get you a better deal $549

If Edu Gc makes it total of $549 - $100 it would be too sweet to resist!

What the. really?? That's kind of dumb. I assumed all apps will automatically take advantage.
OK, a positive update on that. Did some more research and it seems that the default setting in Safari on iPadOS is 60fps rendering. Buried deep in the Advanced Feature Flags in Safari is a setting to disable the 60fps max. Once disabling that setting, Safari shows 120Hz on testufo.com.

Problem solved! Smilie

Yes it usually starts in June 4th…. Basically likely $100 credit and 550 so 100 goes towards 119 pencil pro

True but I am still confused if I should go for iPad Pro due to screen and Face ID… but that will not accept newer pencil and also with pencil will cost 780 + tax which in my opinion is too much for an iPad. I would have happily bought 399 m2 at Walmart if it had 128gb
