On March 15, the running score data of the iPad Air 5 appeared in Geekbench's database, which uses the M1 full blood chip equipped with 3.2GHz, and the running score data is similar to that of the iPad Pro.
Since both the iPad Air and the iPad Pro are M1 chips, is the cheaper iPad Air more cost-effective? Xiao Lei feels that this is mainly determined by demand, and for most users, Xiao Lei recommends the iPad Pro.
The worst point of the iPad Air is that it started at 64GB (priced at 4399 yuan), and the price of another 256GB model reached 5499 yuan, which is close to the price of the iPad Pro 128GB 6199 yuan. 64GB of storage is not enough, a large mobile game may not be very big just down, but playing may occupy more than a dozen GB of space, not to mention the video App storage video and so on.
128GB is enough for most users, and that's where Apple Chicken Thief comes in, which eliminates 128GB and forces users to buy the expensive 256GB.
The iPad Pro has two more speakers than the iPad Air, and the screen refresh rate has reached 120Hz, which is undoubtedly better for the video experience. The camera specifications are also much higher than the iPad Pro, and Xiao Lei recommends consumers to buy the iPad Pro.
The iPad Air is full of blood M1 chip, the hardware can be equipped with macOS, so will Apple push macOS in the future? Xiao Lei believes that the hope of short-term time is relatively slim. Apple separates these two products, and it can make two copies of the money.
Even if the iPad doesn't support macOS, there will be a large number of users who buy the iPad. In Xiao Lei's view, the use of iPad is still quite different from the MacBook, users can hold the 11-inch iPad in their hands for a long time to watch videos, play games, etc., and users can play iPads with various postures. If the user is using the MacBook, the user has to accommodate the MacBook and use a relatively decent posture. In Xiao Lei's view, the iPad should not use macOS in a short period of time.
