Fuck I thought I was sure about buying the 2018 pro instead of the m1 air because of Promotion and FaceID but I didnt realize the Pro only has 4GB of RAM. I do plan on using it just for note taking, browsing the web and content consumption, so I don't know if that would matter. I thought the 60hz display on the air would make writing with the pencil feel laggy.
I own an iPad Pro 2018 and the iPad Air 5 would definitively be a downgrade. You lose the better speakers, you lose Face ID, you lose 0.1“ of display, you lose 120 Hz and you pay more for a processor that you might not need at all. 2018 Pro all the way for me. Why not pick up an iPad Pro 11“ 2018 if you just want a smaller one?
I went with the 12.9” M1 Pro since I use mine more like a laptop than a tablet and it always lives in the keyboard case.
If I used mine more like a laptop, I definitely would choose the larger form factor myself

I’m in the same boat! I think I might still go with the iPad Pro 2018 though.

But i feel that the 2018 is too old now + it stell sells for 400$ refurbished and the air costs 500$
So what is the better to buy in 2023
I am also looking to pick up a new iPad but I wanna wait for ipados 16 to see if it brings any new functionality.
Worth waiting for sure!
Apple's tablets are really impressive overall.
Yes! It’s surprising how long they are able to last and perform at a high level. Makes the investment worth it
