Its small size means the iPad Mini is lighter and more portable, all while offering a larger display than your phone. If the standard iPad is the "best" iPad, the iPad Mini is the "perfect" iPad, at least subjectively. Otherwise, I highly recommend the latest iPad Mini. Unless you need the iPad Air's computer-grade performance, you wouldn't regret buying the standard iPad for $330. At nearly twice the price of the standard iPad, however, I'd find it difficult to look you in the eyes and say you should buy the iPad Air instead. The first alternative that comes to mind is the $600 iPad Air. You can read my review of the 2022 iPad Air here. While that may be true, the verdict is still out, as Apple's M1 processor is still current and I haven't seen how long it can last before it starts to feel sluggish, which likely won't be for at least two or three years. There's also the argument that the iPad wouldn't stay as snappy and powerful as long as the iPad Air, as more demanding apps and operating system updates are released.
The real performance difference would become apparent with power-hungry tasks, like editing high-resolution videos on your iPad versus the iPad Air. With that said, there's little perceivable difference between the standard iPad and iPad Air when opening and running apps and games. To compare, the 2022 iPad Air scored 1,721 for single-core performance, and 7,333 for multi-core performance, which is right in line with our results for the M1-equipped 13-inch MacBook Pro and the 2021 iPad Pro. The iPad scored 1,330 for single-core, and 3,470 for multi-core. It's an older processor compared to the A15 Bionic in the iPhone 13 series, and it's not as powerful as the computer-grade M1 processor in the iPad Air, but it's still perfectly capable to run every app and game you throw at it.īenchmark scores using the Geekbench 5 app show that the iPad Air is more powerful, especially for tasks that use more than one of the M1 processor's eight cores. The 2021 iPad runs on the A13 Bionic processor from the iPhone 11 series. Apple's standard iPad runs on the company's mobile processors found in iPhones.
