Comparing iPad models

I just bought an iPad Air 14th generation 64 gig and with taxes it came to a little over $500. Should I have bought the iPad latest generation instead? Which is better?

Hi gllj05, thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.


Considering the iPad Air 4th Gen was released in 2020 it is likely to be supported for a few years yet as the most recent Apple security update still supports the iPad Air 2 which was released in 2014.


Therefore, it really comes down to price, functionality and personal preference e.g. FaceID vs TouchID and the following link will help with the comparison:

Nevertheless, it's a great iPad.


Hope this helps.
