| Heavier than the iPad Pro. Again. Still. |

| I know it's semantics, but Apple has never actually marketed their Air products as lighter than their Pro counterparts. The 11" variant is ~460g. |

| ▲ | crazygringo 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Yeah they should never have tried to copy "Air" from MacBooks, precisely where it meant thinnest/lightest, to the iPad/iPhone line where the products are already thin and light. That has always seemed like a bizarre branding move to me. If they need a mid-tier brand between entry-level and Pro, just call it Plus. The iPad Plus would make a lot more sense. |

| FFS I cannot believe this. I went and looked it up, and you’re 100% right. It’s slight, but it’s real. |
