If you ’re in the market for a new iPad , the iPad Air and 12.9 - in iPad Pro are atopposite closing of the spectrum . But they ’re both first-class options , and today they ’re at their all - time - low price . Amazon is sellingthe new iPad Air for $ 499andthe 12.9 - in iPad Pro for $ 999 , both $ 100 off their MSRPs and the abject we ’ve ever get wind .
The iPad Air got a redesign in 2020 with a 10.2 - column inch Liquid Retina exhibit , A14 central processing unit , a Touch ID - enabled king button , and a USB - carbon port . At its full cost , it ’s an fantabulous choice over the iPad Pro and is n’t missing much besides a trivial focal ratio and some extra picture element . It even support the secondly - gen Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard . We call it “ a better buy than the iPad Pro for most people and a bighearted step up from the stock iPad ” inour 4.5 - star review .

The 12.9 - column inch iPad Pro is the big tablet Apple do and was just updated in April with a arresting XDR display and M1 mainframe , as well as a Thunderbolt embrasure . It ’s well the most powerful iPad and an overall extraordinary piece of hardware that we called “ doubtlessly the best lozenge Apple has ever made ” inour 4 - star review . If you ’re a baron substance abuser , there ’s really no substitute .
