Apple says half its users choose the bigger screen size when it comes to iPad

For the first time in Apple's iPad Air history, there are two variants for the lightweight iPad: an 11-inch and a 13-inch one. During the iPad Pro and Air launch event today, on May 7, Apple announced the new big 13-inch iPad Air.

Apple says users want a big screen

During the presentation, Apple's iPad Product Design Director, Melody Kuna, explained the justifications behind bringing a bigger version of the Air along with the small 11-inch one.

She says during the event that users love the portability of the 11-inch version. Basically, the 11-inch iPad Air is perfect for simple and quick tasks like writing down a couple of notes while working on a bigger project.



On top of that, thanks to the larger display, you get more space for using multiple apps with Split View.

As it goes with phones, there will always be the people who'd swear by a compact phone while others want more screen (just like me).

Understandably it's a wonderful move by Apple to provide an option for people who'd like a larger screen on an iPad Air and who don't really need all the high-end ultra-fancy features of an iPad Pro for that. Now, you can choose what fits your needs better, be it a compact 11-inch Air or a huge 13-inch one.
