You’re much more likely to use an iPad for FaceTime,

though, and unfortunately the differences in this case

are stark. The 10.2in iPad only has a puny 1.2Mp camera

that records video in 720p, while the iPad Air has a 7Mp

camera that can capture at 1080p. If you use FaceTime

a lot, go with the Air.

The iPad Air weighs (slightly) less

Even with all the power and storage Apple has packed

into it, the Wi-Fi-only iPad Air still weighs just 456g.

Meanwhile, the 10.2in iPad weighs 483g. That’s not a

huge difference, but as a person with a nasty habit of

overstuffing his backpack, I can attest that lighter is

usually better.

You can use Apple’s

with both models
