Hi all. I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but none of the posts I've read here or on Reddit address my use case, so I'll ask myself 
I'm looking to buy an iPad , however, I'm not sure if I need the air or the a16 is sufficient for my needs.
I n moving to apple from android for better accessibility (vision) support and after a demo in the apple store the text scaling and zoom features do seem much better.
However, I'm conscious that the m chips of future may receive more updates, additional features and benefits supported for longer. Plus I understand the m series is has more ai. Capability and more RAM which may be useful for interpretation of text, voice/speech functions etc in future and any other new accessibility features may not be rolled out on older hardware.
I'm not sure how much, if at LL, I'd use itconnecfed to a monitor via usbc, but I understand the air has additional usb c capabitids and may be better when "docked"
TLDR though the better screen may be helpful, I don't think I need the additional power for my general use, but it may be helpful in terms of accessibility.
Any advice appreciated.
