Oct 18, 2022 · There’s no future proof for iPad, just buy what you need now. New hardware new feature new OS version will make old iPad outdated before ram does. 8gb with virtual memory swap is enough for iPad Pro, even Macbook Air m2 still has 8gb ram as base Virtual memory swap (ipadOS 16)

Nov 28, 2020 · Air is very slightly thinner and lighter than the iPad 8. Air has Bluetooth 5 vs 4.2 on the iPad 8. Air has a 7 MP front camera vs 1.2 on the iPad 8. And as you’ve mentioned, Air is available in 64/256 as opposed to 32/128 on the iPad 8. Bottom line is that athough they will be very similar in day to day use, there is really no *advantage* to ...

May 31, 2015 · That said, the iPad 8 is a huge upgrade over the iPad 5, esp. if you decide you want an external keyboard +/- Pencil. IMO for general usage (excluding games and heavy content creation): A9 + 2 GB RAM in iPad 5th gen is showing its age, but is still pretty usable.

Jan 27, 2019 · Hello, I have decided to buy iPad for main purposes as educational / reading books / making notes so I can exclude games / taking pictures & videos and such. Not planning to install huge amount of apps as well, just the ones concerning the purposes I …

Jan 19, 2011 · I don't know if Apple changed the charging circuit on the iPad 8th gen but the 7th gen was actually capable of pulling 15W from USB-C charger. iPad Pros (except 9.7) and Air 3 are capable of using up to 30W, though. Great when one needs a quick top-up.

Oct 22, 2016 · Interesting point about current iPad 8 display repairability for education, but I'm not sure that'll hold Apple back if they can simplify their supply line and cut costs by reusing Air 3 components. Plus, the iPad 8 refresh was relatively minor so a spring refresh might still be possible. @Mokiwi

Nov 3, 2007 · - iPad 8 and Mini have same A12 chip - iPad 8 has less storage (Mini is 64GB) - iPad 8 screen is bigger but a downgrade - Mini is such a great little e-reader For us it feels like going from Mini5 to iPad8 is a costly downgrade so I'm considering an Air for her instead. Its obviously expensive but its modern enough that it should last her a ...

May 28, 2020 · An online review (below) noticed an 8% improvement in sRGB coverage with their tested iPad 7 achieving 105% (higher is better) over their tested iPad 8 sRGB coverage of 97%. Meanwhile their maximum brightness assessment measured their iPad 8 at 484 Nits over their iPad 7 which peaked at 450 Nits, a 7.6% difference.

Sep 20, 2020 · I also have the 6th generation iPad and I’ve been pondering just like you if an upgrade to the 8th gen would be worth it. As you mention the cost would be fairly minimal. Watching these announcements we get all excited and because the A12 is still a very fast chip, and the extra RAM and the slightly bigger screen, well, it all feels so nice ...

Dec 12, 2007 · I'm gonna go with 8 GB, mainly because of the cost, and also because I'm not a heavy iPad user. I really just want the OLED display, lighter weight, and landscape camera, etc. However, if the memory weren't tied to storage, I would have considered 16 GB.
