Answers: Which iPad should I buy in 2022?
- 2022 iPad lineup comparison
- Consumer vs creator iPad spectrum
- Diminishing returns in tech pricing
- Basic iPad vs iPad Air vs iPad Pro
- iPad Mini as a daily driver and e-reader
- Apple Pencil generation 1 vs generation 2
- M1 chip performance in iPads
What it concludes
- The basic iPad gives you the vast majority of the value of having an iPad at the lowest price point of 319 pounds.
- For most people in the middle of the consumer-creator spectrum, you will not notice a speed difference between an A13 processor and an M1 processor.
- The iPad Air is an incremental upgrade in design, pencil charging, and USB-C connectivity over the basic iPad, but costs roughly 80 percent more for a 7 percent value increase.
- The 12.9-inch iPad Pro is unnecessary for most people who already own a MacBook for real work.
- The iPad Mini is the best daily driver for reading books and papers on the go due to its one-handed form factor.
- Unless you need the M1 chip performance or the 120Hz ProMotion display, the basic iPad or iPad Mini are the most sensible purchases for most users.
