On October 18, Apple officially released iPad 10. This tablet has increased by 1,100 yuan compared to the previous generation iPad 9. Its starting price has reached 3,599 yuan. This price is indeed much more expensive than the iPad 9. It has made changes in appearance and configuration, but this also means that there will be no more iPads at a price of 2,000 yuan.
Speaking of the price of 3599 yuan, everyone will definitely think of iPad Air5. The positioning and configuration of this tablet are much higher than that of the digital series, and the starting price is 4399 yuan. If you are a student user, it is 3999 yuan. So which one is more worth buying, iPad 10 or iPad Air5? Let’s analyze it below.
1, appearance design
In terms of appearance design, the two tablets have many similarities. The iPad 10 abandoned the previous large bezels and round HOME buttons, but instead used a full-screen design. The 10.9-inch screen looks more comfortable, and the screen-to-body ratio is much improved compared to the iPad 9. The overall body adopts a metal integrated body, and the middle frame is designed with a right angle, which looks more intense. The thickness of the whole machine is 7 mm and the weight is about 477 grams, which is still relatively light and thin.
iPad Air5 also has a large 10.9-inch screen, and is also designed with a full screen. The back cover is a metal body and the middle frame is also designed with right angles. It is like a mold made of the same mold as the iPad 10. However, the body thickness of the iPad Air5 is 6.1 mm and weighs only about 461 grams. It is lighter and thinner than the iPad 10. Both tablets are equipped with symmetrical speakers and top fingerprint recognition.
2, display quality
iPad 10 and iPad Air5 have great differences in the screen quality. iPad 10 uses a 10.9-inch Liquid retina display, an LED backlit multi-touch display, IPS technology, a resolution of 2360*1640 pixels, 264ppi, 500 nits of brightness and anti-grey stains and anti-fingerprint coating, which has almost no changes compared to iPad 9, and it is still a partial-fitting screen. In addition, it only supports Apple Pencil first generation, which means that it cannot support wireless charging. The front of the
iPad Air5 is also a 10.9-inch Liquid retinal display with resolution and pixel density of and , which is exactly the same as the iPad 10. However, it supports P3 wide color gamut display and original color display, which is theoretically clearer than the iPad 10. It also has a full-laminated display and anti-reflective coating. More importantly, it supports the Apple Pencil 2 generation, which can be adsorbed onto the iPad.
3, core performance
In terms of core performance, iPad 10 is upgraded to Apple A14 chip, which has a 6-core CPU and a 4-core GPU, and a 16-core neural network engine. It is the same chip as iPhone12 series. In the Geekbench5 database, the single-core score reached 1658 points and the multi-core score was 4612 points. The overall performance is even better than the Snapdragon 8+ in Android phones. The performance advantages of
iPad Air5 are more obvious. It is equipped with Apple M1 chip, which can rival PC-level performance. In the Geekbench5 database, its single-core score is 1,710 points and multi-core score is as high as 7,270 points. It is directly comparable to its own iPad Pro. There are few competitors in the mobile terminal, and it is equipped with 8GB of running memory, which is 4GB more than iPad 10. It can also be competent for playing games or high-hard office work. It is a PC-level productivity tool.
4, photo experience
iPad 10 has also been improved in photography. It has been upgraded to a front 12-megapixel lens, and the rear 12-megapixel lens is also added. 4K video and 1080P/240FPS slow-motion video shooting are added. There is no problem with recording life in daily life. For example, videos and video conferencing are also clearer. There is not much difference between the front and rear lenses of iPad Air5 and the iPad 10.
At the end, the positioning of
iPad 10 and iPad Air5 is obviously different. iPad 10 has improved the Apple A14 chip, and its performance is more powerful. There are no problems with daily use and office work. Then there are 12-megapixel front and rear lenses, etc. The disadvantage is that it only supports the first generation of Apple Pencil.
If you have a sufficient budget, it is more appropriate to choose iPad Air5 because it is equipped with a more powerful Apple M1 chip and supports Apple Pencil 2 generation and second-control keyboard. The price is not much different than that of iPad 10. It is also a PC-level productivity tool.
