Which iPad Should I Buy: iPad Air 2 or iPad Pro?

iOS and iPadOS

Hey, I gave my old iPad Air to my parents, and I need to buy a new one. Yes, I know that iPad Pro is a little bit expensive, but I think it is cool and the big screen really attracts me. I think the iPad Air 2 is pretty much like my old iPad Air, but it is much cheaper than iPad Pro. Anyone has bought an iPad Pro or is going to get one?

I use an iPad air 2 myself for writing academic essays and doing serious work. The pro seems to be alright but it seems a bit big for my use case, I still get the split screen view as with the pro so i'm not really all that interested in the pro until IOS takes advantage of it in some other way than a big screen. The Air 2 is very fast for an IOS device.

If you have some useable vision then the pro model will help that much more. In addition, it now boasts stereo speakers, the latest A9 chipset, and a keyboard that can be magnetically attached to the iPad for a seamless experience.

HTH.

Hi there I have the iPad Air 2 , I have thought about the iPad Pro but when you factor in the price and the extra you have to pay for the keyboard it is pretty much the same as an Mac Air which is the better alternative. I think the AiPad Air is the better size and it is fast enough for most people. I think the iPad Pro is aimed at people who design and stuff like that. Although I would like stereo speakers on all iPad's it seems stupid just having the mono speaker.

You should get the iPad Pro
The A9 chip! It's faster
