What is the best iPad to buy?
When choosing the best iPad to buy, it comes down to finding one that balances screen size, performance and budget. If you’re a content creator or you want an iPad with the most performance, the iPad Pro should be the option to start with. If portability is your main concern, then you should start by looking at an iPad Mini. The iPad Air fits in the middle by having the same screen size as the Pro but is more powerful than the Mini. When looking for a new iPad, consider the chip it has. The latest iPad Pros are powered by the M5 chip, the iPad Airs are powered by the M3 and M4 chips depending on the model, and the iPad Minis are powered by the A17 Pro chip.
How long do iPads typically last?
According to Apple1, iPad batteries are designed to retain 80 percent of their original capacity at 1000 complete charge cycles, depending on how they're regularly used and charged. To maximize the lifespan of your iPad, be sure to regularly clean them regularly to remove dust and avoid overworking them to the point where it overheats. Reducing the time that your iPad spends fully charged reduces the wear on your battery. On certain iPad models you can choose to limit charging at 80 percent. If you want to make sure your purchase is protected, we offer extended warranty options for tech.

What is the difference between the iPad Pro and the iPad Air?
The iPad Pro is designed with professionals and creatives in mind. It has faster processors than the iPad Air and a better Ultra Retina XDR display, compared to the iPad Air’s Liquid Retina display. The Air delivers highly capable performance at a lower price point than the Pro. It’s a better option for students and casual users who don’t need the higher performance or the upgraded display. For security, the iPad Pro uses Face ID while the Air uses Touch ID. The iPad Pro has a minimum of 256 GB of storage while the Air has a minimum of 128 GB. Both models are easy to carry in a casual backpack, student backpack or a business backpack along with items like notebooks, headphones and writing supplies.
