it seems like only the chip upgraded, the rest no difference.

I remember when apple first launched ipad with M1, most reviewer said it is an overkill chip for just a tablet.. nowadays, even macbook with M1 chip also still running smoothly.. i don’t think we have to worry about m1 vs m2 vs m3, to be honest. Rather, consideration should be made on other features like storage and other features/ accessories. If you think you’d want a device for real work, get a macbook instead. Trust me, I tried (2 times in fact) but no, can’t really work with ipad. Many youtubers also had the same verdict.

Apple AI is must unless your phone already has it, it will only get better and better until no competition …

I can’t stand the ultra glaring iPad 10/11 display (can use it as mirror) , plus it can never stream YouTube in 4k or hdr…hence have to drop it…

Of course if you don’t mind and only for very casual use then. A16 will be biggest bang for bucks..

iPad A16 is a good choice for one who has really tight budget i think and it is good to buy for kids for education purpose or elderly for entertainment purpose.

for one who has better budget:

ipad pro 256 gb - rm4319.
ipad air 256gb - RM 2969.

the extra rm1k++ paid for what the upgrades in pro is actually more worth it...

🔹 Performance & Hardware
M4 Chip 🆕 – More powerful than the M3, with better efficiency and AI processing.
Better thermal management – iPad Pro uses a superior cooling system for sustained performance.

🔹 Display
Ultra Retina XDR Display 🆕 – Tandem OLED (11” & 13”), better contrast & brightness.
Higher Brightness – Up to 1600 nits (HDR) vs. iPad Air’s 600 nits.
ProMotion (120Hz refresh rate) – Smoother scrolling & animations vs. iPad Air’s 60Hz.
Better Color Accuracy – More precise colors for creative work.
True HDR support – Superior HDR experience for video & editing.

🔹 Design & Build
Thinner & Lighter – The iPad Pro is the thinnest iPad ever.

🔹 Camera & Audio
Better Rear Camera – 12MP with LiDAR Scanner for AR & 3D scanning (iPad Air lacks LiDAR).
Better Microphones – Studio-quality 4-mic array vs. iPad Air’s standard mics.
4 Speakers vs. 2 Speakers – iPad Pro has richer, louder sound.

🔹 Accessories & Connectivity
Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) – iPad Pro’s port is much faster (up to 40Gbps) vs. iPad Air’s standard USB-C (10Gbps).

🔹 Battery & Software Features
Better AI & Machine Learning Performance – M4’s Neural Engine is more advanced for AI-driven apps.

Yeah, ayam casual user only.
Most ayam use it for my cycling app. Watch Netflix & YouTube. A16 to M2, not much a far jump in price. It's doable.
Yes ayam agree with you A16 it's the best bang with 128gb/6gb.

In what sense is an M4 necessary? Is it not for its OLED screen or gaming capabilities? Everything an M4 can do, an M1 can do effortlessly. The limitations of iOS are extremely apparent, even if they were to replace the M4 with an M5 or M10. With iOS, there are only so many things you can do.…

Just saw that news too.. bummer.. apple too rushing to keep up with AI trend, but being the perfectionist they are, failed to deliver in time.. while on the other platforms, AI are progressing so fast we can’t barely catch up with the news
