if look closely enough
there are still a few key differences which makes ipad pro is still a worthwhile purchase (taking the 256gb variant into account instead of 64gbb), than just a12 vs a14 comparison
-z/x chipset variant optimized better for ipad
-slightly thinner bezel (ala iphone xr to iphone pro)
-camera setup (not as useful or practical to masses, but still...feature is feature nonetheless)
-quad speaker (the air is stereo but single on each side only)
-display brightness at higher nits
-120hz
-6gb ram (potentially bigger in comparison if we're expecting air 4 to ship with 4gb ram)
so ipad air 4 isn't really an iPad Pro killer.
on the surface yes because of a14 and new design.
but there's more to it which makes Pro is a Pro-tier variant
to simplify, anyone want to taste ipad pro and don't mind giving up on pro features without spending too much(at least not nearing ipad pro pricing territory).
get the baseline ipad air.
with or without cellular totally up to you, win-win situation for either.
i just noticed something, does this mean ipad air 4 is the first apple device to comes with 5g support?

iPad Air does not have 5G support.there are still a few key differences which makes ipad pro is still a worthwhile purchase (taking the 256gb variant into account instead of 64gbb), than just a12 vs a14 comparison

Yes, indeed iPad Pro does have the advantage over iPad Air too.
Unless one is ok with 64gb variant, else 256gb iPad Pro is actually a better deal.
