The iPad Air costs more, but...
You’re getting a lot more for a device that’s roughly
the same physical size.
The seventh-generation iPad starts at £349,
while the iPad Air starts at £479. If you just want an
inexpensive tablet, the regular iPad will do fine – more
than fine, in fact. But if you want a device that comes
close to the speeds of some older iPad Pros, has more
storage space, comes with a better FaceTime camera,
and can tackle more intensive app apps, you’ll want to
spend that extra cash.
On the bright side, prices have already gone down a
bit for the iPad Air now that it’s been out for a while –
you can typically find it selling for £459 at John Lewis- fave.co/2RAaIPS. The regular iPad has also been
discounted since launch and at the time of writing is
available for £329 at John Lewis – fave.co/2IyrTMW.
