I’m using it for CAD… But like my 2016 iPad Pro had a worse chip and 1/3 the RAM than the A16 iPad, right? And it was fine for everything I used it for until the past year or two

The Air also features better color reproduction and an anti-reflective coating on the screen, which may help sell it. The biggest thing to note is that a Pro is good for 7-9 years, an Air for 6-8 years (it's a Pro minus 1 year of tech), and a base is good for 4-6 years.

I mean 4-6 years is pretty good for half the price. But a lot of people have been pretty convincing that the Air is worth it. But I’m really pissed that my Pencil isn’t compatible with it

I was about to ask, if you already have a pencil and you use it, that pretty much answers the question (get the basic one, upgrade in 2030)
