I'm curious about the new iPad Air they announced, with an A14. This thing is more powerful than the iPad Pro 11-inch now, priced a little lower. I wonder what the advantage is of the current Pro over this one?
For that matter, this new entry level has the same A12 as the 11-inch Pro as well, so seems like the Pro, which is in the mid of its cycle is already outdated? Or is there more to the Pro?
- occamrazor 6y agoThe iPad 11 Pro has: - variable refresh rate display (ProMotion) - a second Ultrawide rear camera - four speakers instead of two - FaceID instead of TouchID, whch brings Portrait mode for the front camera too - a higher max flash capacity On the other hand, it costs 200$ more and the processor is likely to be slower. There are very few reasons to prefer the 11 Pro to the Air 2020. Maybe a company which already has many of them and has to buy some new ones. My guess is that Apple will launch a new iPad pro in Spring, with a new A14X processor.
- zuhsetaqi 6y agoTo be fair the 120 Hz refresh rate display is a huge benefit for everyone using the Apple Pencil. Do we know how much RAM the air will have? I would guess it’ll come with 4GB which would give it another big advantage. Those 2 differences are worth 200$ if you can take advantage of it. Also if you need more than 256 GB storage the Air also doesn’t fit you
- hellofunk 6y agoLooks like the Pro is still 8-cores vs this new Air's 6-cores, so that is not a trivial difference, even if the cores are a little slower.
