Looking to buy a new iPad for my soon to be 9 year old daughter. She currently has an iPad mini 4 (I think) which she’s had for over 5 years. She’s never off the thing, using it to chat to friends, stream films/tv and TikTok/YouTube, so I don’t mind the purchase as she’ll use it a lot. Plus, in school this year they’ll be doing some ‘computer’ stuff and have some homework assignments to do. School use a combination of Microsoft enabled desktops and iMacs.
Things seem to have moved on since we got her the Mini. Price wise, plus there is a seemingly never ending plethora of models available. Choice seems to be between iPad Air and iPad Pro 2021 (she wants a bigger screen), both of which attract eye watering prices.
I’m trying to future proof my purchase somewhat (as best you can). Am I just best getting the Pro given the new chip is akin to what is used in iMacs? She also wants to be able to use a keyboard/pen which her current iPad Mini does not allow and the new magic keyboard looks good (these will either will be from her grandparents or from Santa looking at the prices).
Any advice appreciated.
