“The iPad, not the iPad Air, is the right iPad for most people.”

Just adding onto this comment with quotes from the article:

Not because it’s not great — it is great! It’s just that for $250 less, you can get the base iPad, which is just about as good at every common iPad activity.

Not sure I totally agree with this reasoning. I buy flagship phones not because there aren’t cheaper phones that do the same things, but because I enjoy them from an enthusiast point of view. I wouldn’t argue that they enable workflows I couldn’t do before.

I can’t imagine owning a device without HDR at this point. So much media uses it and it’s great. My only exception is a old Nintendo Switch, so it’s disappointing they lack it for base models still.

At this point, I can’t even imagine a tablet without 120hz, but I may be in the minority.
