For the past few years, there's been a giant void left in Apple's iPad lineup. On the low end, the base iPad model has retained the traditional form factor, with a spec bump here and there, and most recently gained Apple Pencil support. The iPad Pro line, however, has taken advantage of the fastest processors, modest display improvements, and Apple's Smart Connector tech for keyboards and sat comfortably at the high-end of the lineup.

The price difference was stark, as well. The iPad starts at $329. The newest iPad Pro models start at $799. There wasn't a device priced in-between the two.
Then, last month, Apple somewhat quietly released a new iPad Mini and a revamped iPad Air. It's the first iPad Air since the iPad Air 2 was released in 2014 and then discontinued in 2017. The third-generation iPad Air mixes some of the high-end iPad Pro features while retaining some of the core iPad features and looks, at a $499 price point.

ZDNet's Matthew Miller recently reviewed the iPad Mini and found it to be outstanding. And for the past two weeks or so, I've been using the new iPad Air.
Instead of complicating Apple's tablet line, the new iPad Air provides some clarity.
