If you plan on keeping your next iPad for a long time, you should think about investing in a newer model.

Apple didn't announce this when it confirmed the iPad Air 3 but the device is in line for four plus years of software support.

That means four years of new features, bug fixes, enhancements, and very important security patches.

So while you might be tempted to go with an older, cheaper iPad model like the iPad Air 2, note that support for that device and other models will end much sooner.

The iPad Air 3 was upgraded to Apple's iPadOS 13 update while the iPad Air and iPad Air 2 were left behind on iOS 12.

It will also get upgraded to the company's upcoming iPadOS 14 operating system later this year while some older iPad models won't.

The iPad Air 3's new hardware also ensures you'll get the latest and greatest software features from Apple. Older devices typically don't get the full version of iOS due to hardware limitations.

And that will indeed be the case with iPadOS 14.
