So glad I stuck w the iPad Air 5 i needed / wanted an upgrade. The screen size is perfect im so happyits not too big not too small just perfect. I was actually impressed with the size the next thing about the air that I absolutely love is the weight it’s not that heavy that’s important to me because some of the other iPads are a little heavy. I know that sounds ridiculous but when you’re holding it and using it for a duration your hands will tire. I’m a woman so it’s significant to me & adding a case makes it even more heavier.
Basically this iPad is a workhorse you have the best of both worlds you’re not missing out on anything of significance that the pro versions may offer in my own personal opinion and with the accessories you can make it an actual laptop. So happy with this purchase its actually the perfect fit for me bc of its versatility. You can easily use portable or setting up a small home workstation. Just perfection.
I talk to my wife who is in long term care for an hour every day on Facetime. The air centerstage feature is as good as the tracking implimentation on a Google nest Hub. What really impressed me today was the camera capability that kept adjusting the white balance of the screen that I was transmitting so my face was not blacked out even when the room lights were not turned on. Then when it approached sunset and the room was getting darker, the camera was providing a very acceptable picture quality, In fact the room in the picture was brighter than the room in real life.. After 3 Facetime sessions over 3 days I notice I use the Air for my Facetime Chat not the 12.9 Pro.
I equiped my Air with a ZUGU case. I knew that the case had a pocket for storing the Apple Pencil, but a Suprise and Delight feature of the case was a mounting clip that stores the Aple Pencil in the position so it can wireless recharge from the iPad with the case open or closed, and it is readily accessable.
As you can see from the pictures the Air is not all that much larger than the Mini but the screen area is considerably larger because of the minimezed bezels. I don't plan to use the Air with a keyboard, I still have the 12.9 Pro for that. The Air is going to become my portable tablet not my laptop wanabe.

My favorite Internet connected device by far!
My latest upgrade was just made to this IPad Air, 5th edition. I had hoped to wait until after the New Year to update to a new model — old one was still working well enough… But, darn it all if Amazon didn’t take 8O.$ off the price and neatly offer their deal as an early, Black-Friday option. I checked the Apple web site and other well known retail spots, and all had the same- much higher- retail price - So I pounced!
The order came to my door about 4 hours after ordered- was turned on, updated, and in use soon after that.
This is absolutely the quickest connecting IPad I have used… one of the lightest, and definitely the fastest web surfing tablet I have touched. I like the visual design with no home button and narrower bezels, but was unsure how use would actually be without the dedicated button onboard. I had recently set up an accessibility optioned home button on my IPhone - so after checking the settings on the new IPad, found I could do the same thing. If you are unsure about not having the home button, or concerned an older family member might not have a good experience without the familiar setup, you can make one using the accessibility settings and place it anywhere on the screen you like. Everything else on this IPad Air is a major improvement. Do not hesitate to pay a smidge more for the Air as the tablet itself is well made, beautiful and good enough to replace a laptop when paired with a keyboard and mouse. I do not use the pencil so cannot comment on that, but if you take the time to read about tricks and tips in the new operating system-this one is ready to use for a good long while. Merry Christmas to myself, and no regrets… Absolutely a great buy, a great product, and an overall good order and delivery experience. (be sure to get a case for your new IPad… makes a difference in experience and longevity for sure…) 😎
