Hey IFC, I have been playing IF on my personal phone and I am now starting to realize the bad effects the game has on my battery. I have an IPhone 13 Pro. What IPad/Tablet do you guys recommend so I can fly without the fear of hurting my phone. Price range up to $800 :)
I have an iPad 7th gen and it gets pretty hot during takeoff and landing, especially if I’m at a large 3d airport with lots of other users. However when I’m cruising with low power mode on sitting on a charger it runs great. I like to leave my device on the charger only on cruise and let it use some battery on takeoff and landing.
I personally recently purchased the iPad A13 Chip from Apple for a relatively cheap price. It packs a great punch with the A13 processing chip. Perfect for games like Infinite Flight.
I’d suggest a standard iPad (9th gen). Plenty powerful for a $350 USD (if im not mistaken) device. It utilizes the A13 SoC, which is a little out of date (for reference the A15 is the current on the A-line of SoCs), but still powerful enough to run IF for a good number of years to come
I would recommend you to look for something like iPad mini 6th generation.I’ve been using different models of iPad mini since 2015.)
Now I’m on iPad mini 5th.
I play on the latest iPad Air. Runs perfectly no faults at all. I’ve done many ultra long hauls no problem with max graphics, 60fps, and brightness up. The thing is a beast and is overall the best performing iPad within your budget. Some of the other options that were mentioned above are great if you don’t want to spend at the top of your budget.
