iPad Air 6th Generation 11" M2 vs iPad Pro 4th Generation 11" M2

iPad Air 6th Generation 11" M2
iPad Pro 4th Generation 11" M2

Verdict: The iPad Pro 4th‑Gen edges out the iPad Air 6th‑Gen in display refresh (120 Hz vs 60 Hz per RTINGS) and offers up to 1 TB storage, making it superior for graphics‑intensive tasks (per Apple). However, the Air delivers comparable M2 performance (Geekbench) at a lower entry price, and its lighter chassis benefits on‑the‑go use. For most users, the Air provides sufficient power, but creators who need ProMotion and extra storage will benefit from the Pro.

Winner: iPad Pro 4th Generation 11" M2

iPad Air 6th Generation 11" M2: 7/10

iPad Pro 4th Generation 11" M2: 8.5/10
