Base on report, Apple has introduced new versions of the iPad Air and the iPad mini, plus it’s removed one of the iPad Pros. This leaves the lineup ranging from $329 to $999 for the just the base models, but it’s also made the buying decision a little more involved. AppleInsider explains how to balance getting the most features for your budget.

The last time Apple updated its iPads, it was easy. The company introduced the new iPad Pros, and if you were in the market for the most powerful, most expensive models, you had your answer. And equally if you didn’t need that power, or for some reason had other things to spend a thousand bucks on, you still had the iPad.

Strictly speaking you also had the iPad mini, but until the 2019 refresh, that was last updated in 2015. The smaller physical size was still good, though less compelling if you had an iPhone XS Max, but otherwise the specifications were so far behind the regular iPad that it wasn’t worth considering. It even looked as if there might never be an update to the iPad mini.

Now there has been a sizable update, though, and it’s come alongside a new iPad Air, so suddenly everything is different. Everything is substantially harder, too, as each available model has advantages and disadvantages over the other.

That said, Apple seemed to lose its knack for positioning MacBook models at specific price and specification points, but it’s back on track for the iPad. Whatever your budget and whatever your needs, there is now an iPad that fits in the sweet spot for you —if you compare them carefully.

Price conscious
If you just need an iPad and any will do, or if you have to buy very many of them for your work or school, the regular iPad, the sixth generation, is the cheapest at $329 for a 32GB Wi-Fi-only model.

You will be able to get it cheaper through education discounts, or if your company participates in an Employee Purchase Plan, but the saving will be in the order of a very few bucks. You will also at times be able to find this iPad in Apple’s refurb store but while always a good buy, you can never predict what models will be available, plus you can never get them in bulk.

Pricing is the regular iPad’s sole advantage, however. The screen is smaller than on all other iPads bar the mini, for instance, and it is also the slowest iPad in the range. When it’s your first iPad or you’re updating from a much older one, that speed won’t be an issue but it is marked when you use any other current model.
