https://www.engadget.com/the-new-ipad-air-comes-in-two-sizes-including-a-13-inch-model-141005701.html">iPad Air[/url] lineups. Both have significant hardware updates, but somehow the iPad Pro now weighs less than all of its Air equivalents.</p>
<p>The 11-inch iPad Pro is 0.98 pounds (444 grams for the Wi-Fi model and 446 grams with cellular), while the same size version of the iPad Air is 1.02 pounds (462 grams with no difference between the Wi-Fi and cellular models). </p>
<span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>The weight difference is more evident in the 13-inch tablets — the iPad Air comes in that size for the first time. The 13-inch iPad Pro starts at 1.28 pounds (or 579 grams) for the Wi-Fi model, with the cellular version coming in three grams heavier. Meanwhile, though the Wi-Fi and LTE variants of the 13-inch iPad Air are only one gram apart, they both weigh 1.36 pounds, which is noticeably heavier than the iPad Pro.</p>
<p>Apple says the latest iPad Pro is the thinnest product it has made, with a switch to dual OLED panels helping make the tablet more slender than ever. On the flip side, that makes the name of the iPad Air a little janky at this point. </p>
<p>Sure, it's just a name and it doesn't matter that much. But at 1.03 pounds, the original Air was <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="
https://www.engadget.com/2013-10-29-ipad-air-review.html">nearly half a pound lighter than the iPad 4[/url]. The latest model is essentially the same weight, but it's now heavier
and chonkier than the iPad Pro, making Apple's premium tablets literally lighter than Air.</p>
