After updating the iPad Pro earlier this year, Apple last night updated the iPad Air with a completely new design and the 8th generation iPad with a new processor. The company's entire iPad lineup (except the iPad Mini) is now updated for 2020, and if you're wondering what the differences are between each of these devices, we've got you covered.
iPad Air 4th Gen vs iPad 8th Gen: Which Should You Buy?
We'll take a look at the various features and hardware differences between the three iPads. And to make things easier to follow, we're dividing this article into the following sections:
Until last night, the iPad Pro was the best-looking iPad on offer. It has thin bezels all around, an all-screen display and flat edges that harken back to the days of the iPhone 4 (in a good way). The iPad Pro comes with an aluminum body, a dual rear camera with a third LiDAR sensor and four speakers plus a USB Type-C port.
Now the 4th generation iPad Air has some of the same design elements. You get an all-screen display here too, along with flat edges, the same as the iPad Pro. There is a single rear camera, which is why it looks like the last generation iPad Pro from the back. By the way, the iPad Air is available in more colors than the Pro. In addition to Silver and Space Gray in the Pro, the Air is also available in Rose Gold, Green and Sky Blue. Color options for the 4th generation iPad Air | Image: Apple
