iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) vs iPad Pro: should you upgrade?
If you're buying new, get the iPad Pro. The iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) is no longer sold by Apple.
Excellent, but more power than most people need. iPad Air saves money.
The iPad Pro is 1 year newer, so it will get software updates for longer and holds its value better. If your iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) still works well, there's no rush, but don't buy one new.
