And we'd argue it represents the best value overall of all the modern iPad range. On the whole, though, the iPad Air is still a very capable machine. Plus, while the Air has the same f/1.8 12MP wide rear camera as the ‌Pro, it lacks the latter's 2.4 10MP Ultra Wide sensor and a LiDAR scanner. That's a step down from the Pro, which remains the speedier machine for photo editing as a result. On the downside, storage is only 64GB or 256GB and RAM just 8GB. There's a great 12MP ultra-wide front-facing camera with a 122º field of view, and the same Centre Stage tech for tracking your movements on Zoom calls. It has a fast Apple M1 processor, and also supports 5G. It's super-light at just 461g, and super-thin at just 6.1mm. But the 10.9-inch iPad Air 2022, launched in March, gives it a run for its money, and at a much lower price. The iPad Pro makes number one on our list, as it's the best iPad overall for photographers and photos editors.
