Which iPad is Right for You?

When it comes to tablets it’s hard to beat the Apple iPad. However, choosing the right iPad for you can be tricky considering Apple has four different iPad models with new releases and upgrades almost every year, it can be overwhelming trying to figure out which one is best for your needs. Luckily, TekReplay is here to help you dive into all of your options. 

Each model has its pros and cons but it all comes down to what you’re planning on using it for. On one end of the spectrum is the classic iPad which is a great choice for everyday things like streaming video, reading e-books, and playing casual games. On the other end is the iPad Pro. It’s the most expensive and the most powerful and perfect for content creators who need to run pro-level photo and video editing applications. Lying in the middle is the iPad Air with more power than the traditional iPad but at a lower price than the Pro. Last but not least, there’s the iPad mini which is the winner for portability. 

It all comes down to your individual needs, but whatever your budget or requirements we can help find the right iPad for you! 

Best Value

Apple’s basic level model, commonly and lovingly known as simply the “iPad” provides plenty of bang for your buck so to speak. When you take into account the number of high-quality applications and services available for the iPad Operating System you can’t go wrong. Not to mention the classic iPad is usually the most affordable compared to the other iPad models. 

If you’re looking for an Apple tablet for scrolling mindlessly through social media or watching movies on the couch without shelling out a bunch of cash, the classic iPad is the perfect choice for you. It’s available with WiFi or cellular and plenty of different storage options to choose from to find one that fits your needs and budget. 

Peak Performance

The iPad Pro is the superior choice for power users and it even delivers the type of performance you may expect from a laptop. If you’re someone who is always drawn to the latest and greatest, the iPad Pro tablet may be the one for you. 

The Pro outpaces all other iPads in power and performance. The screen produces vibrant images with better contrast that comes in handy when you’re editing video and photos. It also has a fast refresh rate which makes the animations in things like games to scrolling around the internet look smoother and faster. Not to mention an incredible camera and impressive battery life, two important factors that we’re often asked about! 

The iPad Pro also supports the Smart Keyboard and the Apple pencil which can turn your tablet into a laptop and a drawing pad, respectively. 

If you're a content creator who is searching for something powerful and portable there’s nothing better than the iPad Pro or maybe you just love having the biggest and best. Available in multiple screen sizes, multiple memory options, and WiFi and cellular compatibility, there are  endless options for your iPad Pro.  

Crowd Pleaser 

If you’re looking for the power of the Pro with more portability the Apple iPad Air may be the tablet for you. With high-speedperformance and its smaller size, it is the ideal tablet for getting work (or schoolwork) done. You won’t have any issues running demanding photo and video editing apps with the Air. It also connects with accessories like the Apple Smart Keyboard cover. 

So why not just go with the Pro? While the Pro is more powerful on paper the Air can handle almost as much plus it’s more portable and typically cheaper! If you’re looking for a little more power than the classic iPad but don’t need the bells and whistles of the iPad Pro (and want to save some cash) the iPad Air is the perfect choice. 

High powered enough for work, and light enough for travel and play. The iPad Air is the crowd favorite. 

Most Portable 

If you’re living a jet-setter lifestyle and need a tablet that goes anywhere, the iPad mini is for you. It’s the ideal travel companion. 

This 7.9-inch tablet has a bright sharp display, perfect for reading e-books. Not to mention the fast processing power that makes web browsing and watching movies smooth and stutter-free. The best part is that it weighs under a pound making it easy to hold for long periods. 

The iPad mini is the most portable Apple tablet available and it packs a punch for being so small. We highly recommend this one for an on-the-go individual who wants something that they can store in their purse or pocket conveniently.
