Believe it or not, Apple’s 2025 iPad lineup is actually much less confusing than in years past. Although, with four main models—the iPad (11th Gen), iPad Mini 7, M3 iPad Air, and M4 iPad Pro—there is still plenty of nuance to understand to make sure you make the right choice. But the reality is that all iPads handle about 90% of the same tasks, such as web browsing, note-taking, streaming, app ecosystem, and creative and professional work, and they all even have the same design language. It’s that final 10%—the extra power, display technology, better efficiencies, and accessories—that makes the difference.
This guide will break down each iPad’s strengths, who it’s best for, and how to make the best decision for your use cases!

As an iPad Pro first user, I loved the desktop-level experience that Lumafusion brings to the iPad. It has everything most editors would need. Lumafusion has continued to evolve over time, adding features like Multicam editing, external SSD support, speed ramping, keyframing, and so much more. But with Lumafusion’s new v5.2 update, they are bringing one feature I have really wanted!

Everyone has a different definition of what a perfect or dream desk setup for them would be. Some people need five external displays; some only need one. Other people need a mechanical keyboard, while others find the clickiness distracting. I have even seen people consider just a laptop on the move as their ideal setup, while others need a dedicated office space. So I wanted to share some of my ideal desk setup accessories that I have recently added that have helped create my personal perfect M4 Mac mini and M4 iPad Pro desk setup.
