iPad or iPad Air?

I posted this over in the mavicpilots forum but haven't gotten a reply yet; figured I'd try here too.

I'm currently using a 9th gen iPad to fly with. Unfortunately, it's "only" a 32Gb version, and I keep running out of space...which slows down the 3 apps I fly with (Go4, DD, Litchi).

So I'm looking around and I see a 5th gen iPad Air 64Gb version for a reasonable price; seems to have a better processor and screen resolution.

Would the ipad air be an upgrade? I know very little about apple products (this ipad is the only apple device I've ever used), but I have researched the heck out of it. Any advice would be great!

The latest Air is a pretty significant upgrade from the standard iPads, but I would definitely make contact with your software vendors to make sure it is supported. It may work, but you may not get support.

Thanks; it does indeed look like an upgrade (except it's not any brighter). Checking the supported devices list is a great idea!
