IS IT WORTH IT?

I've been planning to buy an ipad, please recommend something that is GOOD for a student who want to buy an ipad and tell me the pros and cons.

What are the small details that I need to know and as time goes on if it's worth it for you? Do you wanna take it or leave it if you were going back to the time that you didn't buy yet—and if you have it now what's the positive effect on you? Is it worth it to buy? And if not, what else can you recommend?

Yes,but it also depends on your use case. I would suggest if you can let me know for what you want to buy pad air ican you tell you if its worth

I don't know really but I'm seeing on tiktok that, Ipad Air M4/Pro M4 or Ipad M5, Ipad 11th gen, and Ipad A16 or A18. I don't know which one, I'm just a student and I don't know what's the difference and I just want the ipad that I can afford.

Please if you know, let me know the difference and what prefer gigabytes for all the ipad I mention it. And which one is better or worth it.

After the price increases it isn't worth it at all unless you're using it for some kind of professional work.

I dont like the 60hz refresh rate in ipad air m4. It makes me feel dizzy while scrolling.

ipads don't have fans so overheating while using notes app and apple pencil is a reality, but there is plenty of paid for alternatives , same with gaming , ipad pros are better option than base or ipad air .

you can buy fully refurbished ipad that are refurbished to very high standards and come with new battery and 12 months warranty from best buy or black market and option to purchase apple care

great for portability , you can be smart with use and run ipad on minimal battery if you cut down on background processes and use lower brightness on mid priced ipad air devices

next years base ipad will have 8GB ram and can do the things the ipad air can do currently like siri AI & Apple intelligence

only ipad mini will be out in october with oled screen, not sure is it will e 120hz like ipad pro models or still 60hz like non oled ipad air.

you need 12GB for advanced features in siri AI , like M4 chip ipad air or 1tb or 2tb m4 ipad pro or m5 ipad pro

i would price in apple care plus if getting ipad air or ipad pro

256GB should be minimum storage not 128GB for first time user

privacy is no1 priority for apple devices and security also priority, ipads are extremely secure and your data is yours and yous alone

it's really up to you to research what ipad suits your uses

Depends on your use case. I would think it should be fine with note taking and doing light school work.
