Is the iPad Air's Display Actually Larger Than the Regular iPad's?

Question

I’ve been under the impression that the marketing of the iPad Air states that it has a display that is bigger than the iPad. Is that true?

Answer 1

Though apple promoted the iPad Air, its display is not bigger as compared to the normal iPad. Both of these, in essence, have the same screen size. Even though the screen size of the iPad Air was claimed to be 11 inches, in actuality, it is 10.86 inches, which is rounded to 10.9 inches for ease of communication. A 10.9-inch display is likewise advertised for the regular iPad. Therefore, in a practical sense, the display of both models is identical.

I know "DON'T BE FOOLED" is a meme for you, but the display sizes being the same between the 10th gen iPad and the iPad Air is something I think a LOT of people could easily be fooled by just by looking at the specs, so thank you for pointing that out!
