Proposed split

Hi, I'd like to propose splitting the comparison since it is too long in proportion to the other sections. Itsquietuptown tc 10:28, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

  • Support, it would be more accessible to have a brief comparison in text with and keep the complex tables for a dedicated article, which could be linked to with a section hatnote. NemesisAT (talk) 09:14, 5 April 2021 (UTC)


– To further distinguish iPad articles, I'm proposing to move the following articles. In addition, the iPad and the iPad Air article will be used as a page for the comparison of the models in those lines (similar to the current iPad Pro article). That's all.
EDIT: In addition, to provide consistency with all Apple device articles, I'm proposing to rename these:

  • Oppose moves. The page for the iPad family should be at the base title IPad, and you seem to be unaware of the prior consensus that the 2017 iPad should be disambiguated by year. O.N.R. (talk) 05:26, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
Ah, sorry about the 2017 thing. However, I still stand by moving the iPad page to a new iPad family, especially since there is a new line of vanilla iPads. I also think that the iPad Air should still be moved to the iPad Air (first generation) and then use the older iPad Air and iPad page similar to how the iPad Pro page's current use. This article has become way too long and messy; some parts haven't been updated, others compare models from other lines to another model from another line, etc. The new iPad family page will basically be like the current Mac page.

  • Oppose per the above editor's reasoning. Herbfur (talk) 05:31, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
  • Oppose. It’s going to result in a redirect to the new article in any case. I think the proposed name is worse, too. Simplicity is best here. Take, for instance, Metal Gear or Star Wars; neither take readers to what they specifically refer to (the first Metal Gear game, or what is now known as Episode IV: A New Hope), but instead function to facilitate people finding what they want quicker. Changing it to iPad family would also obfuscate search tools, like browsers search bars with auto-retrieved Wikipedia results. ImaginesTigers (talk) 14:33, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
  • Oppose. SuliMinecraft (talk) 16:39, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

THe "Highest supported operating system" for iPad Air 2 should be "12.5.3" no "12.5.1" as in the article. Thingos (talk) 14:46, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

 Done: Btw, your request should be for iPad Air not iPad Air 2. iPad Air 2 and newer support iPadOS 15. Anyway, I have updated the table. Paper9oll (🔔📝) 16:14, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
