Yeah Apple revised the price for the Air M2 to RM2,499, that’s RM300 difference with the new mini RM2,199 price.

So it’s just which form factor one will want from an iPad since most specs are identical (except new mini has True Tone flash, while Air has keyboard support)

Weight of mini vs 11inch Air:
293g vs 462g

A17 Pro vs M2 benchmark:
93 vs 99 cpu benchmark
95 vs 98 gpu benchmark

A17 pro is more efficient in battery life, probably why Apple chose this for the mini
97 vs 92 battery efficiency

You can technically have a main iPhone as your primary phone, and still able to pick up calls using your iPad as your secondary device.

But do read about its limitation

WhatsApp has been on beta on iPad since last year.
Meta just taking their time lol.
The only way now is through the web or some third party option

That’s cheap, I got my Pencil 2 from switch at 299 previously for my iPad Pro but I found out I hardly utilize it…
