The upgrades aren't exciting enough for you to switch from an M1 iPad Air.
The new iPad Pro pretty much stole the show at the May 7 Apple event. An M4 chip and an OLED display are exciting upgrades. It’s powerful enough to almost seriously compete with a Macbook. The iPad Air, on the other hand, leaves a lot to be desired, especially if you’ve been waiting almost two years to upgrade. What’s new here is a new 13" size. We’ve seen either 11-inch or smaller iPad Airs since their inception in 2013. This is the first iPad Pro-sized iPad Air.
It sports an 8-core CPU with 4 performance and 4 efficiency cores, a 10-core GPU, and a 16-core neural engine, but the latter isn’t capable enough for complex AI tasks. The M1 iPad Air scored 7,252 on the Geekbench CPU test, and the M2 iPad Air maxed out at 9,993. Using it for my daily productivity tasks and streaming YouTube videos was fairly smooth. I didn’t experience any hiccups or stutter, of course. At the end of the day, it’s still an M-series chip, and that’s not a bad thing.
