I’m just a regular user for the iPad meaning I just cruise the internet, social media and play a few games on mine. I have an iPad Pro but I want a backup. What is the difference between a Regular iPad and an iPad Air? Is it worth the extra $200+? I do like the space available/memory on the iPad Air but is that the only difference? Please help.
iPad Pro, iPadOS 13

As you can see the iPad Air is bigger and faster
I have an Air 3 which works very well for me. If you are only planning to use the device as a back-up, I don't think you need more than the basic model. If you are careful to keep a working back-up in the cloud or on your computer, I wonder if you actually need a back-up device?
