The sides of the iPad Air and iPad Pro are square, which is very important for accessories, as we’ll see later in this post. The camera module is more prominent on the iPad Pro than on the iPad Air, as it has more advanced camera technology.

Of course, colours are something we give a lot of importance to when choosing an iPad: The iPad Pro is available in Space Grey and Silver. The iPad Air comes in five beautiful colours: Space Grey, Star White, Pink, Purple and Blue. We know it's going to be hard to choose.
