🆚 Comparison Snapshot

💡 Who Is It For?

• Students and professionals wanting pro-level performance without Pro pricing.
• Creatives who use apps like Procreate, Affinity Photo, or LumaFusion — the M2 handles them effortlessly.
• Users upgrading from older iPads (e.g., 4th-gen Air or iPad 7/8) — big leap in speed, display, and features.

⚠️ Things to Note

• No ProMotion (120Hz refresh rate) — unlike iPad Pro.
• No LiDAR scanner (so no advanced AR or Night mode portrait depth effects).
• Still uses LCD, not OLED — so contrast and black levels aren’t as deep as the 12.9" Pro.
