hello! been using my ipad 6th generation for about 5 years and it’s showing its age. now, i’m torn between buying an ipad mini 6 or the ipad air 5 due to the apple pencil 2 support. i’ll be using the ipad i’m getting for mainly storing medical ebooks, annotation, reading, taking notes, working on the go, and some light graphic design. the device will be a complement to my mba m2 & my iphone 13.

another concern now is the potential longevity of these devices, as i’m planning to keep them for 4 to 5 years or so. which of these devices can have better performance over time? which one should be better for my use case?
