FIRST TEST APPLE iPA D PRO (M4)

The alternative: Apple iPad Air (M2)

Words Dan Grabham

from £599 /go.stuff.tv/iPadAirM2

With the further powering up of the iPad Air via Apple’s M2 chip, this is now essentially an iPad Pro just without a few extras such as Face ID support. But it also shares a lot with the 10th-gen base-level iPad, including Touch ID. Once again Apple’s tablet range makes sense, with a classic ‘good, better, best’ arrangement.

Much has been made of the Pro’s skinniness, but this Air isn’t far behind at 6.1mm. Both 11in and 13in versions are heavier, but not by a great deal: the 13in model weighs a mere 38g more than its Pro equivalent.
