The Air screen is better than the regular iPad, and the base M3 Air is pretty much perfect tablet - processor is fast (I can feel it's faster than the M1 and the iPhone's, video is faster) AND it has the Windows ability - basically connect it to a monitor and Bluetooth keyboard and you have a portable PC...
There's no massive difference between M3 8gb and A16 6gb for safari web browser. Only difference is gaming 60 fps on M3 and 30 fps on A16
On Speedometer M3 Air gets 480mph, A16 iPad 11 gets 450 to 500mph.
M1 and A14 gets 350mph, A13 250mph
You can even test this out in the store

Do you mean non oled screens or just the screen on the base model? What about the screen on the M3 iPad? I can't decide between getting a 256 gb IPad 11 A16 or a M3 IPad Air 128 gb. I'm not considering the 256 IPad Air because if I spend that much, I'd probably just get the new Pro when it is released.
the non laminated screens are terrible, they look like smartphone screens looked in 2010.

In microcenter I watched the foundation s3 preview on YouTube side by side iPad 2025 and iPad Air M3. I could not tell a difference.

What am I missing?
get off youtube and see a basic and air at BB and you'll see what I mean.

That M2 Air for $250 was such a great deal it's hard to be objective about this one.

I've set up a few iPads for family. When I touch the screen on the basic iPad, it's like you could feel a 'gap'. I'm not sure how to explain it

I am gaming on my iTab and I immediately felt the difference. The screens are also different, visible when watching movies in dark. Otherwise, as you said, they perform the same.

Quote from CalmHeart3200 :
how much usable space does a 128GB ipad air M3 have out of the box? torn between this and the ipad a16 at $280; is this thing really worth the extra $200 for the average mid-30 year old? FYI, im not a graphic designer, but use alot of adobe pdf reader, download/stream alot of pirated content (videos hosted on ahem "harmful" websites and also my own plex server -4k uhd remuxes), I use microsoft 365 apps (word, one-note, excel, outlook) alot.

After three years of using an iPad Pro for business, I have used only 75GB out of 512GB capacity. I store a lot of PDF documents, a modest amount of photos and no movies. If your use case includes movies, 128GB probably is not sufficient. However, for folks whose use case is strictly work-related, 128GB probably is sufficient.

Pretty much what I'm looking for - a tablet that has video out and a windowing system. Will the iPad A16 do this once iOS26 comes out?

No idea, but I assume Apple would try to differentiate its products somehow and not make it available to the standard iPad line.
