Apple iPad Air 1 2013
With a weight below 500 gram, the iPad Air sets a new benchmark for portability. Packed with 10 hours of battery life and trademark Retina Display, iPad Air is a worthy upgrade from previous-generation iPads. Carrying the latest Apple i7 chip, this tablet is very portable yet powerful.
Design-wise, the tablet looks neat with its aluminum unibody and super thin 7.5 mm form factor. Its sleek 9.7 inch display design is not only practical for on-the-go user, but also for those who seek an ergonomic tablet. Your hands will not feel burdened by its weight, which seems to be the problem for most tablets with the same display size. The build quality is solid due to its carefully refined bevels that remove the sharp edge. The new iOS 7 also fits well with the iPad Air. It makes it seem like a whole new experience even for veteran Apple user. With the wide range of accessories, it can even serve as a multipurpose work and entertainment center.
This device is a major upgrade from its predecessors in both hardware and performance. User looking to upgrade their iPad should not think twice in choosing the new iPad Air. And due to the user-friendly iOS, it is a good investment for newcomers alike.

Love is in the air. The fifth generation of Apple's big seller is now available for purchase. Finally, the California-based company unveils a thinner device -- and at a height of a mere 7.5 mm (~0.3 inches), it has certainly earned the name "Air". The new A7 processor, familiar from the iPhone 5s, is at work in the newest iPad as well -- and it even clocks at a higher frequency than in its pocket-sized sibling. How did the iPad Air fare in our test laboratory? Read on to find out...

The iPad Air 2 is thinner and lighter and has new features including the Touch ID fingerprint scanner, new processor, improved cameras and 11ac Wi-Fi. However, most of the changes won't be overly noticeable on a day-to-day basis so unless you want more than 32 GB of storage, we wouldn't blame you for sticking with your iPad Air or going for the older model to save some cash.

With the iPad Air having one round to the Galaxy Tab S's four, the Samsung tablet is the clear winner of this head to head review. Featuring a better display, better camera and noticeably better battery life, the Galaxy Tab S is one of the finest tablets currently available. However, with four of the rounds having resulted in draws and the iPad Air remaining the more secure option, it was a closely fought battle and the Galaxy Tab S's victory isn't too surprising considering how far through its product lifecycle the Apple tablet is.

The iPad Air is the first iPad that doesn't have any obvious room for improvement. Of course Apple will improve it before long, likely with a Touch ID fingerprint sensor and some other unknown upgrades. But we're getting to the point where the iPad doesn't really need anything else. All the most important areas – weight, thickness, screen quality, battery life and performance – are all in great shape. If you want an iPad that you won't need to upgrade for several years, then the iPad Air is a great place to start.

The iPad Air is a fantastic piece of kit. The design, build quality, performance and battery life are all superb. This will suit those wanting a device to browse the web, check emails, view documents and consume multimedia content. But the iPad Air is not going to suit everyone, particularly when it comes down to cost.

It’s too early to say which tablet is the best, as we still need to test performance, battery life and camera quality among other things. It’s clear that the Tab S 10.5 is a strong rival to the iPad Air, but for those who own other Apple products the iPad Air may remain the obvious choice.

Now, with the iPad Mini with Retina Display, you can have the same resolution and performance, so the choice you have to make really comes down to size. If you travel all of the time and want a tablet that you'll barely notice you're carrying, the iPad Mini with Retina Display is the clear choice. If you carry your tablet less often and want the benefits of a larger screen, the iPad Air is the clear winner and it's not actually that much bigger. In terms of size, price and performance the iPad Air is our favourite tablet.

The Xperia Z2 Tablet is definitely a solid rival that could cause some minor concern for Apple, so let's hope the company is innovating hard behind the scenes to launch something that enables us to write a comparison review in the future that can recommend the iPad without a shadow of a doubt, because right now, it's tricky to be completely convinced that Apple's ahead of the game.

First things first: these are two outstanding devices. The iPad Air is the best 10in tablet around for media consumption, communication, games, web browsing and social media. If you want to make your commute more bearable and to surf the web while you watch TV, head for the iPad. But if you can afford it and it makes sense to you to carry only one device that is PC, tablet and laptop, the Surface Pro 3 is a truly stunning achievement.

Overall, while the iPad Air and Surface Pro 3 are both tablets, they're aimed at very different audiences and are therefore difficult to directly compare. The Surface Pro 3 is designed to fit the needs of professionals who would prefer not to carry around both a laptop and a tablet. Perhaps they're creatives, or businesspeople, or even journalists. The iPad Air can cater to those audiences too, but not always entirely, and that's what Microsoft has been trying to point out (it says 96 percent of iPad owners also own a laptop). But the iPad Air is still very powerful, can achieve most day-to-day tasks, and also offers up thousands of tablet-optimised apps for your entertainment, communication, education and productivity.

Which iPad would we recommend? Obviously that depends on your needs. If portability is top priority, the iPad mini 2 remains the best option, although the iPad Air is so much slimmer and lighter than previous 'full-size' iPads that it's close to catching up. The iPad Air can be used one-handed for quite a long time without tiring the arm, which makes it great for reading - although if that's all you want to do with your iPad, you could save some money and just get the old iPad mini (or a Kindle, at that). The A7 processor on the new iPads make them superb games machines, and ideal for photo and video editing, especially for the next few years as such apps get more demanding.

Ultimately it is a matter of personal preference. Both these tablets stand head and shoulders above the rest of the 10in tablet world. They are thin and light, well made, designed and built. They offer great displays and excellent performance, decent cameras and so on. and they are priced the same. The main difference is that the iPad Air runs iOS7 and the Xperia Z2 Tablet runs Google's Android OS. Both have their supporters - which one are you?

The iPad Air is the finest tablet currently available to humanity. But the same was once true of the iPad 4; is this enough of an improvement to warrant an upgrade? The Air has two main advantages over the iPad 4: it's slimmer and lighter, and it's faster. The former is an appealing upgrade, since the iPad 4 can tire the arm when used one-handed, particularly for reading. But the latter won't make much difference for most users right now, since the iPad 4 is already more than powerful enough to deal with current apps. If you're on the iPad 3 or earlier, on the other hand, the Air is a no-brainer: a gossamer-light, gorgeous-looking, Lightning-compatible tablet with a super-fast processor and a decent price tag. Five months on we remain delighted with the iPad Air, its sleek looks and its super-slick performance.

If you're on the iPad 3 or earlier, the iPad Air is a highly appealing buy, and a bit of a bargain, we'd say. But paying the same price all over again a year (or less) after shelling out for the iPad 4 may be less clear-cut, unless you're flush with cash. Do you find your arm aching after using your iPad 4? If you find this annoying, the iPad Air is the answer to your prayers. But for us - and, we'd guess, for most users - arm ache is only an occasional annoyance, and not really worth spending upwards of 400 quid all over again.

There's no doubting that with the iPad Air Apple has made its best tablet so far. It's absolutely beautiful to look at, has a stunningly fast processor, excellent battery life and an amazing touchscreen. While the iPad 4 is far from out-of-date, the power and size on offer here could be compelling enough of a reason to upgrade. For most people, we think the hardest decision is going to be one of size, and whether they should buy the iPad Air or the smaller, but identically specced, iPad Mini with Retina Display. It's a tough call and the incredibly lightness and slim case of the iPad Air may just swing it for the larger tablet: it's something we'd happily carry everywhere. It's our new Ultimate award-winning tablet and the best you can get.

Even though the iPad Air scored an impressive five stars when we reviewed it on release last year, since then the market has moved on and having won four of our nine rounds to the iPad Air’s three, we’ve got to give the best enterprise tablet award out of these two devices to the Samsung Galaxy Note 12.2in. However, with two of the rounds resulting in draws the battle has been a close one and both tablets certainly have merit in the workplace. The Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 offers users a sizeable display, an array of productivity-focused applications and services, a robust battery life and a useful S Pen stylus. But to counter this, the iPad Air boasts a more travel-friendly design, more robust security and is significantly cheaper.

In many respects a triumph, the iPad Air also introduces compromises to hit the low-weight/thin-case targets. Sound quality through the new stereo speaker has deteriorated, and although a matter of taste we found the iPad mini-style case loses the premium feel of preceding generations of iPad. The iOS 7 interface, not popular with every user, cannot be avoided on this device and it suffers some stickiness in app zooming. Ultimately though the iPad Air will suceed by simple nature of its new weight – the lose of almost 200g is so significant to its handling, and means it could encroach on E Ink ebook readers; only with the power and versatility, not to mention gorgeous colour screen, of a real iPad.

But the iPad Air has the larger screen to go with those activities - we'd rather edit movies on a 9.7in screen, and games are more immersive on the larger device. Hopefully we've summarised the strengths and weaknesses of Apple's new iPads effectively, but our last word would be this: if you heart is set on one of the new iPads, is portability or the screen your first priority? The two lines have got closer on both fronts, but the iPad Air remains the best option for a stunning visual experience, while the iPad mini 2 is a great buy if you want to slip a fast, powerful computing device in a handbag or rucksack pocket.

The Apple iPad Air starts at Rs 35,900 for the 16GB, Wi-Fi model and we feel this is a bit too much for what’s on offer. The drastic weight loss and new internals aside, we don’t see why someone would buy the Air instead of the 32GB iPad mini with Retina. Not only are you getting double the capacity but it’s spec-for-spec identical to its larger sibling. We’ve also seen that 16GB is simply not enough for iPad apps and your media files, so there’s another problem. If Apple had fitted a better camera (8MP iSight from the iPhone 5) and Touch ID (from the 5s), then there would be a better distinction between the two tablets and perhaps, the high starting price of the Air could be justified. Overall, if really must have the extra 1.9-inches of the Air, then go for it but we strongly suggest you get the equally well equipped 32GB iPad mini with Retina for the same price.

The drastic weight loss and new internals aside, we don’t see why someone would buy the Air instead of the 32GB iPad mini with Retina. Not only are you getting double the capacity but it’s spec-for-spec identical to its larger sibling. We’ve also seen that 16GB is simply not enough for iPad apps and your media files, so there’s another problem. If Apple had fitted a better camera (8MP iSight from the iPhone 5) and Touch ID (from the 5s), then there would be a better distinction between the two tablets and perhaps, the high starting price of the Air could be justified. Overall, if really must have the extra 1.9-inches of the Air, then go for it but we strongly suggest you get the equally well equipped 32GB iPad mini with Retina for the same price.

This is truly the new iPad we've wanted for a long time, at least as far as the design and form factor is concerned. With the iPad Mini, it was clear that Apple's focus would be on improving the portability and use comfort. The only drawback is that the thinner aluminum on the back does not feel as solid as the previous generations. But, without doubt, the best tablet in the market is now even better.

For yet another year Apple has secured its place as king of the 10in tablet space. However, given the fact that the Nexus 10 is over a year old at this point, this isn't really all that surprising. We're amazed that the Nexus 10 managed to stack up as well as it did against Apple's new iPad Air given its age. We can't wait to see what Google has up its sleeve for the next Nexus 10, and, given the ongoing usefulness of its original, it will undoubtedly be impressive.

Summarizing the iPad Air is tricky business. One one hand, Apple has done some great things here, most notably with the physical design. The iPad Air isn't just lighter than its predecessor, it's almost half-a-pound lighter, which is a significant reduction in weight that's both noticeable and appreciated.

In many respects a triumph, the iPad Air also introduces compromises to hit the low-weight/thin-case targets. Sound quality through the mono speaker has deteriorated, and although a matter of taste we found the iPad mini-style case loses the premium feel of preceding generations of iPad.

Make no mistake - Apple has finally nailed the tablet with a great combination of specs, power and a decent OS. It's a joy to hold the iPad Air. From the clever construction to the fast processor to the improved user interface, Apple has found an answer to every criticism we had of the device and then some. You've seen the score, and for those keeping tabs you'll realise this is TechRadar's first five-star tablet. It's a device with almost no flaws - it's not just Apple's best tablet, it's the only tablet you should be considering this Christmas if you're keen on a larger screen.

The display on the iPad Air is no longer the highest resolution panel found on a tablet but it continues to look as good as ever. I have zero complaints with the IPS display as colors and text were sharp and vivid while brightness remained a strong point. The 4:3 aspect ratio will still cause some to gripe compared to 16:9 offerings that are more suited to video and the outdoor performance isn’t anything to write home about. Either way, I suspect this screen will continue to be used in future iPads as there’s simply nothing wrong with it. If you’re looking to pick up a full-sized tablet this holiday season, the iPad should be near the top of your list if Android isn’t a priority for you. In the event you already own an iPad, an upgrade to the Air should be a justifiable investment should you have the third generation tablet or older. If you’re rocking the fourth generation, I would probably stick with it until next year’s model shows up.

Sound quality through the new stereo speaker has deteriorated, and although a matter of taste we found the iPad mini-style case loses the premium feel of preceding generations of iPad. The iOS 7 interface, not popular with every user, cannot be avoided on this device and it suffers some stickiness in app zooming. Ultimately though the iPad Air will suceed by simple nature of its new weight – the lose of almost 200g is so significant to its handling, and means it could encroach on E Ink ebook readers; only with the power and versatility, not to mention gorgeous colour screen, of a real iPad.

Apple has always said that the iPad isn’t intended to replace a laptop, and if you need to run the full version of Microsoft Office then there are many Windows laptops, as well as tablets such as the Microsoft Surface, that will be more suitable. However, the arrival of Apple’s iWork and Microsoft Office Mobile proves that the iPad Air can certainly handle productivity software when it needs to.

It perhaps will come as little surprise that the iPad Air has won in a head-to-head review over its predecessor, the iPad 4, but is it worth the upgrade? We think so. While there's not that much in the way of new specs beyond the upgrade to Apple's 64-bit A7 chip and the firm's iOS 7 operating system, the iPad Air is so much more comfortable to use due to its slim profile and low weight.

I can understand why the fanbois who already own the iPad 4 weren’t tempted to queue overnight to buy the iPad Air, but people like me who have an older iPad may well find the urge to upgrade hard to resist this Christmas.

When Apple unveiled the iPad Air, many dismissed it as simply another rehash with a faster processor. The iPad Air is the best iOS tablet to date – with a sleek design, excellent performance and battery life. But be warned: the 16GB of storage on the entry level model will get used up quickly by large 64-bit apps, so it's worth considering the 32GB option if you're an app junkie.

The iPad was already the best large tablet out there. If it had any deficiencies, it was really in terms of weight and size, and that’s where the iPad Air shines. It’s still got a battery that will last for 10 hours, and now it’s twice as fast as it was before, opening the door for even more apps that can boost personal productivity or just entertain you that much faster. It’s right there in the name: The iPad Air is still an iPad, but it’s lighter and thinner and twice as fast to boot. If you want a tablet you can comfortably hold with one hand, look elsewhere. Otherwise, look no further than the iPad Air.

The iPad Air features an impressively slender form factor and, thanks largely to its A7 processor and optimizations in iOS 7, it still manages to perform twice as fast and deliver just as much battery life as its predecessor. In fact, Apple’s latest tablet, as it exists, is definitely one of the best (if not the best) tablet out there right now. However, I can’t help but feel that it could be even better. Where’s my TouchID? How about a bigger, better camera on this late 2013 tablet? I suppose this opens the opportunity for an iPad Pro, with such premium features. Or just next year’s Air. But I can’t help but want them now.

The iPad Air is the best overall 10-inch tablet you can buy by quite a margin.

The iPad Air is, undoubtedly, the best iPad Apple has produced yet, and by far the most comfortable full-sized tablet we've used. We're not sure the inclusion of a 64-bit chip is worth users getting too excited about yet. While it offered a slight bump in performance, and likely aided the improvement in battery life, the iTunes App Store is still desolate when it comes to 64-bit optimised apps. The only real improvement – besides the slightly better performance and battery life – is its design, and the new-look thin and light tablet makes it worth the upgrade.

At just over 1 pound, not only is the Apple iPad Air lighter than the competition, but it outshines, outperforms and lasts longer than similarly priced tablets. Plus, the Retina display looks as crisp as ever, and you get valuable productivity and content-creation apps for free. Apple's huge tablet app advantage versus Android also shouldn't be overlooked.

Surprise: the iPad Air is the best iPad we've reviewed. In addition, though, it's also the most comfortable 10-inch tablet we've ever tested. Not every manufacturer can produce a thin and light device without also making it feel cheap or flimsy, but Apple nailed it. Factor in a sizable boost in performance and battery life, and the Air is even more compelling.

Calling this the iPad Air could be seen as a gimmick: a marketing ploy designed to invoke the excitement of an all-new product, when in fact so much is carried over from previous iPads. But the truth is that the iPad Air is every bit the dramatic update its name suggests.

Surprise: the iPad Air is the best iPad we've reviewed. In addition, though, it's also the most comfortable 10-inch tablet we've ever tested. Not every manufacturer can produce a thin and light device without also making it feel cheap or flimsy, but Apple nailed it. Factor in a sizable boost in performance and battery life, and the Air is even more compelling.

Apple iPad Air 2 2014
Silver, gold or space grey; the Apple iPad Air 2 looks good in all mentioned color options with its sleek exterior and ever elegant design. The metal chassis with subtle curves feels good in the hand and Apple has always offered two variants, Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi plus cellular. Within that two variants are even more options in terms of capacity and price. Both variants come with 16 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB and price increases accordingly.
Dimensions are consistent between both variants at 23.88 cm x 16.76 cm. Only the weight varies slightly between the two models. There is a 9.7 inch LED-backlit widescreen Retina display with IPS technology packed into the Apple iPad Air 2. The quality is superb with sharp details and amazing colors. The brains of the device ia an A8X chip with 64-bit architecture and a M8 motion coprocessor.
Combined with iOS 8, the device performs buttery smooth with good user experience. There is an 8 MP iSight camera with 2.4 aperture rear camera and a 1.2 mega-pixel FaceTime HD camera. Other features include Apple Pay and Touch ID. The fingerprint sensor is integrated in the home button. A 27.3 Wh lithium-polymer battery gives up to 10 hours of web surfing via WiFi.

Slimmed down. The second generation of the iPad Air got even thinner. The new Apple A8X triple-core processor is a surprise. Not only the additional core makes the iPad the new performance reference, but also the powerful GPU. Many details have been improved, but the battery is smaller. Update 10/26: Measurements for the display and the power consumption
Ironed and strengthened. Even slimmer and faster but just as sophisticated, enduring and elegant as its predecessor. The iPad Air 2 is surrounded by many superlatives and is really the fastest iPad so far. But there are also some smaller drawbacks, and iOS 8.1 is still not working perfectly.

Besides the Touch ID fingerprint feature, the screen assembly and uprated processor are the headline features. New cameras are a bonus too. Overall the Apple iPad Air 2 is the best tablet you can buy, even though it's been discontinued by Apple. Its performance, attention to detail, quality of build and sheer usability still mean it's a great buy.

Each of the iPad Air 2’s new features seem minor on paper, but taken together they all add up to help make it one of the best tablets available – it’s simply a joy to use. If you want the longest possible battery life though or if you want waterproofing then the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet is a better pick despite its inferior screen and camera.

The iPad Pro 9.7 is considerably more expensive than the Air 2 (direct comparisons aren't possible any more, because there are no overlaps between the two devices' storage offerings, but the Pro is £60 more at each point than the Air 2 was at launch), yet there are so many significant improvements that we reckon it's worth it. As usual, however, this depends on your individual needs and tastes.

There are some subtle differences like the Rose Gold option, "Hey Siri" and the camera bump but if you're going to spend £150 on the new iPad Pro instead of the iPad Air 2 it's got to be because you will make use of the better screen, extra processing power, more storage and the way it's setup for productivity. And that's with the additional cost of the Smart Keyboard and/or Apple Pencil. If you're just looking for a decent tablet for pleasure, the iPad Air 2 will suffice.

We can't offer a full verdict on which iPad is better until we've spent more time with the iPad Pro, but we think that the more powerful tablet is going to appeal to a reasonably small number of people who are willing to pay the extra for the additional screen space and more powerful processor. We'll be bringing you a full, in-depth review of the iPad Pro soon and a more detailed comparison between the two flagship Apple tablets will be right here when the iPad Pro launches in November.

Although we've only had hands-on time with the Galaxy Tab S2 it's clear to see that it's a great tablet – even if it has suddenly matched the iPad on screen size, aspect ratio and resolution. The S2 wins on dimensions but it's so close that this is really just bragging rights and both tablets have top-notch specs. Aside from the choice between iOS and Android storage and price are the big differences here with that potentially deal breaking Micro-SD card slot found on Samsung's tablet only.

Battery life, too, remains high. While the actual capacity on the Air 2 is smaller than the original Air, improvements with the motion coprocessor mean the battery life is just as good in real terms. It should last 2 days comfortably, and at least a day under heavy loads. The iPad Air 2 is undoubtedly a quality device. It does have a premium price tag, however, as it will cost you at least £399. You can look at the different options from Vodafone over here.

Overall, the Surface 3 and iPad Air 2 are very different devices, and deciding between the two is all going to depend on what you plan on using your tablet for. It's difficult to beat the iPad Air 2 when it comes to design, portability and its user interface, but there's no split-screen mode, and you won't be able to get full versions of desktop applications to help with your work. That's where the small but powerful Surface 3 comes in, offering full apps, split screen, an excellent keyboard and pen (though they come at an extra cost) and lots of power that'll mean working on presentations, essays, designs and more while out and about has been made possible without needing to lug around a laptop.

If you're looking for a work device first and foremost, the MacBook is the better option. There's a better range of work software on OS X, the hardware keyboard and Force Touch touchpad will be a crucial advantage over a touchscreen, and the extra screen space will be a boon. If you're mostly going to be using email, web surfing and light gaming, the iPad is more appealing.

The iPad Air 2 refines what was hitherto the best tablet on the market. It’s slightly thinner and lighter, with a better camera and a fingerprint reader for more convenient unlocking and app payments. It’s much faster, too, and the screen is subtly improved.

The iPad Air was one of our favourite tablets of 2013 and its follow-up, the iPad Air 2, is even better. However, if you're an iPad Air user and happy, we don't really see too much point in updating just yet. This is for those that have never owned an iPad and those using older iPad hardware like the iPad 4 or iPad 2.

The iPad Air was one of our favourite tablets of 2013 and its follow-up, the iPad Air 2, is even better. However, if you're an iPad Air user and happy, we don't really see too much point in updating just yet. This is for those that have never owned an iPad and those using older iPad hardware like the iPad 4 or iPad 2.

For first time iPad buyers, the iPad Air 2 is the best bet but we'd suggest skipping the 16GB storage variant of the iPad Air 2, since it is quite possible to run out of space soon. If you own an iPad Air, we don't see a reason for you to pick one up just yet. Although, if you are an owner of anything before the iPad Air, we think that if you upgrade, the performance boost will shock you.

In many ways, the iPad Air 2 is the better of the two tablets here. It is the most powerful by far, so is better suited to those planning on playing games or running graphics-intensive apps. Both tablets have excellent screens, though the Tab S's is slightly better, and the same goes for the camera.

So which is best? It all comes down to what you want to do with your tablet. For entertainment, web browsing, email, social networks, games, photography and video, the iPad wins. It's also a lot cheaper than the Surface Pro 3. A lot.

Massgeblich zugelegt hat das Tablet bei der Rechenleistung. Der neue Prozessor A8X ist mit drei Milliarden Transistoren ausgestattet ... Massgeblich aufgewertet hat Apple die Kamera. Diese schiesst nun Fotos mit 8 Megapixel Auflösung und zeichnet Videos in Full-HD auf. Die Kamera ... filmt effektvoll mit Zeitlupe und Zeitraffer. Dafür ist die Vordere Kamera für Selfies mit 1,2 MP eher mager bestückt.

As with most Apple products, the iPad Air 2 is evolution, not revolution. There is very little to fault with this device. If you are dedicated fan of the iPad, the new iPad Air 2 effectively combines design with functionality thanks to the thin profile, improved processing performance, and sharper iSight camera. The abundance of apps included with the iPad Air 2 are also what sets it apart from its predecessors.

The iPad Air 2 is thinner and lighter and has new features including the Touch ID fingerprint scanner, new processor, improved cameras and 11ac Wi-Fi. However, most of the changes won't be overly noticeable on a day-to-day basis so unless you want more than 32 GB of storage, we wouldn't blame you for sticking with your iPad Air or going for the older model to save some cash.

Apple has two new iPads out this year, but only one of them is a significant update to the last generation. Surprisingly, it's the iPad Air 2, which improves on last year's model in both size, weight, and performance. We sit down to discuss in-depth the differences between the current slate of iPads, and show you where GPU improvements are most noticeable.

The iPad Air 2 is impressive and brings a lot of improvement but does so in a mature way. It's not the bold, drastic change its predecessor was. The iPad Air 2 has a Touch ID home button, A8X chipset, higher-res camera and a Gold option. At least those are the changes marked in bold. There are more subtle changes in the iPad Air 2. There's an additional microphone in the place of the mute switch. The FaceTime camera has been updated, the display is now fully laminated and has an anti-reflective layer. All good but quite subtle changes.

Separated by only $100, it’s really tough for us to recommend going with the iPad mini 3 – even though it’s the cheaper of the two models, at $399. It’s even tougher to swallow knowing that it doesn’t see any major improvements, or differences, with its own predecessor. Flipping it around, the $500 cost of the iPad Air 2 makes plenty of sense, since it’s boasting the better internals and performance. At the same time, we have to point out that the iPad Air 2’s larger size makes it more ideal for certain things – such as typing up documents, surfing the web, and watching videos. And best of all, it’s incredibly thin with its construction!

Overall, there’s a lot to go over on the iPad Air 2. While the name suggests that it’s an iterative update in nature, in practice these updates add a lot of compelling hardware to the high-end iPad line. One of the first areas worth looking at here is the design. While not a radical shift from the iPad Air, the differences in design and the even thinner build helps to set the iPad Air 2 apart.

These two couldn’t be any more different on the outside, as one impressively stands out for its premium design and svelte construction – while the other follows a more humble and modest path. Mainly due to that disparity, it makes perfect sense why the iPad Air 2 costs $500, versus the $400 price tag of the Nexus 9. Obviously, the difference in that chunk of change is profound, one that favors Apple’s achievement in producing its tablet.

Our favorite Apple tablet is still the iPad Air 2$499.99 at Best Buy, which has the newer A8X processor for the best possible graphics and gaming experience. But if you find yourself with $300 in your pocket and you want to get in on the iOS app universe, the iPad mini 2 is a terrific buy.

iPads are typically not the most surprising tablets, and this edition is no exception. Iteration is never as exciting as revolution, but this an iteration on a tablet that was already near –if not at– the top of the pile for quality and capability. Again, if you want to save money you won’t be missing too much by opting for last year’s iPad Air over this one (and there’s even something to be said for going the supersized smartphone route if you’re trying to consolidate), but if it’s a true tablet you’re looking for, it’s tough to find one better than this. Apple’s iPad Air 2 is the safe choice for a solid experience.

Buying an iPad Air 2 depends on which iPad you currently own. If you have a first- or second-generation iPad then it’s a no-brainer – the iPad Air 2 is miles better in every respect. It’s also much lighter and faster than the iPad 3 or 4, even if the screen improvements are less marked. The iPad Air 2 is another triumph for Apple. The design and screen have improved in all the right ways, and the new A8X processor is nothing short of astonishing. This is still the best large tablet around.

The extra thinness makes it more portable and more stylish than ever before, the new screen tech makes it even more usable in even more situations, and that extra power means you’re ready for the next generation of processor-intensive apps that dedicated developers are dreaming up right now. The iPad Air was already the best tablet in the world. Apple could have done far less and that would still be the case, but instead the combination of small but significant tweaks means the iPad Air 2 has increased that lead even further.

Apple wanted to make sure its iPad Air 2 would be the best when it comes to a premium class tablet and they packed it full of changes. The tablet is as pretty as ever but thinner and lighter than before with an improved display and the TouchID sensor. It offers a great experience but it did have to sacrifice some battery life and its mute switch in order to get its incredibly small size.

Buying an iPad Air 2 depends on which iPad you currently own. If you have a first- or second-generation iPad then it’s a no-brainer – the iPad Air 2 is miles better in every respect. It’s also much lighter and faster than the iPad 3 or 4, even if the screen improvements are less marked. The iPad Air 2 is another triumph for Apple. The design and screen have improved in all the right ways, and the new A8X processor is nothing short of astonishing. This is still the best large tablet around.

The extra thinness makes it more portable and more stylish than ever before, the new screen tech makes it even more usable in even more situations, and that extra power means you’re ready for the next generation of processor-intensive apps that dedicated developers are dreaming up right now. The iPad Air was already the best tablet in the world. Apple could have done far less and that would still be the case, but instead the combination of small but significant tweaks means the iPad Air 2 has increased that lead even further.

Apple wanted to make sure its iPad Air 2 would be the best when it comes to a premium class tablet and they packed it full of changes. The tablet is as pretty as ever but thinner and lighter than before with an improved display and the TouchID sensor. It offers a great experience but it did have to sacrifice some battery life and its mute switch in order to get its incredibly small size.

The iPad Air 2 is undoubtedly an improvement on last year's model, owing to its A8X chip, new anti-reflective screen and, of course, its slimmer design, which makes the iPad extremely comfortable to use for a tablet of its size. Owners of the iPad Air might want to think twice about upgrading, however, as we're not sure the tweaks and improvements warrant £400 being spent on an upgrade. Those using an older iPad, however, such as the iPad 3, might find it hard to resist.

Existing iPad Air owners won’t find enough here to make the upgrade worthwhile, but for everyone else looking for the best and most powerful tablet, you can't get better than the iPad Air 2. The only downside is that it's becoming increasingly hard to recommend the 16GB version of the iPad, as the operating system and apps become bigger and bigger, plus it now has a good camera you'll likely want to use, all this makes the £479 64GB version a more sensible choice for most users.

Take that, mix it with a sturdy design that still looks amazing, and finish it with an improvement to the display that is very impressive, and you have the iPad Air 2, a brilliant tablet, but one that is becoming harder and harder to upgrade to, especially if you’re already an owner of a previous model. If you take notes on the tablet and want something as fast as you, this is a product you’ll want to have, and if you want an amazing tablet, this too is the tablet you’ll want to check out. Highly recommended.

Every year Apple has to tread a fine line, by trying to offer consumers enough of an upgrade over last year’s product without over-promising one year only to under deliver the next. The 4th generation iPad was a misstep in this regards and the Air 2 is sort of in the same boat.

All in all, this is one quick tablet, all set for some great game playing if you like that sort of thing. It also makes for a silk-smooth interface and the power to take on production duties from the more serious apps out there. The best iPad upgrade yet? Undoubtedly. Lighter with improved screen tech, makes it even easier to use as a reading slate. The perennial storage gripes aside, it’s one helluva tablet computer.

The iPad has stiffer competition than ever this year (especially from Samsung) and the iPad isn't the no-brainer buy that it once was. And though it isn't dramatically better than last year's Air, I'd still brand the iPad Air 2 as the best iPad – and the best tablet, period – you can buy today. It had a tough act to follow, but it still manages to steal the show.

Apple certainly hits it on the mark with the iPad Air 2, seeing that it receives all the incremental upgrades we’d commonly expect to find on any successive device. It’s thinner, lighter, and more powerful than ever before, while still being treated to an even better camera and enhanced platform experience, but we’re not inclined to say that it’s a huge leap forward. Rather, it’s more like a single step forward, which might not sound as compelling, but it’s still some of the best tablet offerings around.

Make no mistake: these are two evenly matched tablets, and it is unlikely you will be disappointed with either of them. If you have no strong leanings toward Android or iOS, you should base your decision on price and storage. If you want to save pennies the Nexus 9 is measurably cheaper. But if you need more than 32GB of storage - and many will - then the iPad Air 2 is your only choice. (See also: Nexus 7 vs Nexus 9 comparison.)

The iPad Air 2 is definitively the best tablet on the market right now, which is why it replaces its predecessor on our A-List. But with prices as they are right now, it isn't the best value. That status now belongs to the original iPad Air, which Apple, inexplicably, is currently offering in its 32GB guise for only £359.

The new iPad Air 2 is also even thinner than before. The iPad Air was already thin and Apple is proud to have made it even thinner: “incredible in just one year” the company said. It's 18% thinner, which is pretty impressive given that the iPad Air was already remarkably thin. We do have to wonder whether thinner is necessarily what is best for the iPad though, in the wake of bendgate will people be afraid that thinner means more flimsy?

It's 18% thinner, which is pretty impressive given that the iPad Air was already remarkably thin. We do have to wonder whether thinner is necessarily what is best for the iPad though, in the wake of bendgate will people be afraid that thinner means more flimsy?

There’s little to suggest the new iPad Air won’t be every bit as good as its predecessor, and better besides – it’s certainly slimmer, it seems more powerful and it does more stuff, which by current metrics suggests this is the best tablet money will soon be able to buy.

That might sound harsh, but you can't help feeling that the if you already own an iPad, then there's little here. The design is incrementally slimmer, there's a boost in the power, but it's not going to dramatically redefine the iPad experience. The addition of TouchID makes sense for some, but for those who share the iPad with kids, might not be able to make use of it.

This year, Apple has revived a product label that was already thought dead and has fit some new hardware into an old case. The newly created tablet positions itself between the entry-level iPad and the Pro models and faces the high-end competition from Android in terms of its price. Our test will show whether this is a recipe for success.

The iPad Air is a fantastic tablet. The screen and power make it feel like an iPad Pro, but for a seriously good price. The perfect do-anything device for most people.

The MacBook Air's decent battery life, sharp screen, strong sound and elegant gold colorway make it a solid entry-level laptop for Apple fans. If only its processor had a little more kick to it, it would be a lot easier to recommend the Air.

The latest Air is much like the iPad Pro in all but name. So if you can live without the FaceID, uniform bezels and Type-C port offered by the current Pro, then this 10.5-inch iPad is a compelling offering. Especially considering its sub-£500 price point.

The iPad Air 2019 isn’t the most innovative Apple-slate on the market, but by getting all the basics right it easily earns a place as one of the year’s best tablets and is an ideal option for most buyers.

The iPad Air is a fantastic device for content consumption, playing games and running a host of different apps from the App Store. It has swift performance and the display is a treat. The battery life and touch response is good too. The sound output from the tablet is good. However, it doesn’t have stereo separation when watching movies and it does not support the second-gen Apple Pencil.

And there's the new iPad Mini, which is basically this device, but with an 8-inch screen instead. That will be less useful for productivity just in terms of the physical screen size (and there's no smart keyboard equivalent), but it's a hell of a mix of speed and portability. This remains our favourite, though, because it feels like it's a a size that can do anything, without weighing you down, and that's future-proof.

The new iPad Air (2019) has serious horsepower hidden behind its laminated screen and uses Apple’s excellent Smart Keyboard for proper 2-in-1 for productivity. Its traditional design and first-gen Apple Pencil compatibility make it look dated, but it doubles the performance of the entry-level iPad 9.7. The ‘Air’ revival is a potential Back to School winner this year.

Yes. But I will attach a few caveats. Get it only if you want the iPad Air as a premium tablet on which you can occasionally do basic work. As long as you know the iPad Air’s shortcomings, you will feel your half-a-lakh is well spent. The display is amazing and the slick performance boggles my mind -- a Windows laptop at this price may not deliver such smooth and dependable performance. Plus, you don’t need to always carry a charger.

Given the feature set of the Air, that price makes it the most attractive iPad for most people. The Pro is significantly more expensive and the extra features are only really relevant for a small number of people. But the £160 extra over the standard iPad gets you a better and larger screen, a significant boost in power and therefore longevity, smart keyboard compatibility, and an extra 32GB of storage. If you can afford it, it's a total no-brainer.

The iPad Air is a collection of compromises, and in almost every area there's another tablet out there that's better: the iPad 9.7in is cheaper, the iPad mini more portable, the iPad Pro 11in more future-proofed for very demanding apps. But as an all-round package this is vastly appealing and quite possibly the best (or at least best-value) Apple has to offer.

If Apple were still selling the aging iPad Air 2 brand new for a significantly discounted price, we’d probably recommend that over this newer one. However, that’s not the case. In reality, the new iPad Air (2019) takes up that vacant spot long held by the iPad Air 2 at the moderate $500 price range. After years of Apple trying to sell consumers on upgrading to its more expensive iPad Pro tablets, the new iPad Air’s arrival is a sign of relief.

Apple iPad Air 4 2020
The iPad Air 2020 is a mid-range tablet released by Apple. It features the A14 Bionic processor with a 5nm architecture. Apple claims it is 40% faster than the previous generation and saves more power. The A14 Bionic also includes a second-generation machine-learning accelerator in the CPU, which increases the speed of machine-learning calculations by 10 times. The combination of a brand-new neural network engine, CPU machine-learning accelerator and high-performance GPU brings a powerful upgrade to image recognition, natural language learning, and action-analysis functions on the device. Apart from this, the iPad Air is similar to the iPad Pro 11. It includes a 7-megapixel front-facing FaceTime HD camera, and retains a 12MP rear camera, plus the iPad Pro’s USB-C interface and four-speaker configuration. The new generation of the iPad Air also supports Apple's second-generation Pencil that can be attached to the top for charging. The new iPad Air also retains fingerprint recognition which is built into the power button. Of course, most iPad Pro accessories (including Magic Keyboard) are also supported. As for the design, the iPad Air has a new slim and lightweight design. In fact, it weighs only 1 pound and is 6.1 mm thick. The aluminium chassis features flat, rounded edges that wrap around the Retina display – it is the same overhauled design used on the new iPad Pro. The iPad Air this time offers a total of five colours, in addition to the traditional dark grey and silver the colour options rose gold, blue, and green are available.
The new iPad Air is designed to be environmentally friendly to support Apple's plan of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. The iPad Air features a 100% recycled aluminium body, and the solder on the motherboard uses 100% recycled tin. The magnets in the new iPad Air speakers also use 100% recycled rare earth elements. The wood-fibre packaging is made of recycled materials or comes from forests that are managed responsibly. The new full-screen design employs a larger 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, which brings a brilliant visual experience, with 3.8 million pixels and advanced technology, including full-plane lamination, P3 wide colour gamut support, original-colour display and anti-reflection coating, which delivers an excellent visual experience. The Apple iPad Air 4 has two storage configurations, 64 GB and 256 GB. In addition to the WiFi version, they also have an LTE version at a higher price tag. The iPad Air 2020 supports WiFi 6, and Apple claims that its battery life can reach 10 hours. Conclusively, the Apple iPad Air 4 (2020) is one of the most eye-catching products. In addition to major design changes, it also released the world's first 5nm mobile chip and is thus a step ahead of the iPad Pro and the iPhone. It is suitable for most users who require a tablet for entertainment or work, since it is a very reliable and stable device.

With the 4th generation of the iPad Air, the design has been revised. This brings it visually closer to the iPad Pro, with which it now shares accessories. In addition, Apple's latest A14 processor is at work in the tablet. This review will tell you what other innovations are available and whether it is worthwhile to change over.

The positives crush the negatives, however. The iPad Air (2020) is the tablet you want to buy if you’re not sure exactly what you’ll want to use it for. Perhaps it’ll become your media slate, your casual gaming companion, a portable laptop replacement, a second screen for your Mac, a canvas for art, or all these things and more. It won’t excel at any of these in isolation, but it can fill every role with competence and confidence. Rather than being an awkward middle child, the iPad Air (2020) is the iPad that anyone could buy and find something to love.

If you want the ultimate iPad experience, Apple would probably point you in the direction of its Pro range. But the iPad Air 4 (2020) is all the iPad most people will ever need. It’s such a solid and capable all-rounder, that very few will feel the need to spend the extra for the iPad Pro. The design is superb, the user experience is tough to beat and both sound and picture quality are on point. It’s an excellent tablet, and even with a slight price increase, we still feel it’s worth every penny.

Fortunately, the iPad Air delivers the goods. The design and form factor is great, the display is excellent, and the performance is superb. The old adage “you get what you pay for” holds water here. And I would argue that for a device that you are likely going to keep around and use for a couple of years (more than, say, a phone), it makes sense to get the best you can afford now so that you don’t have to upgrade as early.

When relatives and friends ask me what tablet to buy, I'm telling them to get the iPad Air 4. It's not only faster and more stylish than the normal iPad, but the Magic Keyboard support means the iPad Air is finally a laptop beater. If its battery life was longer, or its display were brighter, Apple might have made the best tablet ever.

It's not only faster and more stylish than the normal iPad, but the Magic Keyboard support means the iPad Air is finally a laptop beater. If its battery life was longer, or its display were brighter, Apple might have made the best tablet ever.

The iPad Air for 2020 is a phenomenally well-made tablet that improves upon the last-gen version in a variety of ways, solving issues with that tablet’s dated design and accessories. The jump in price will make this a tougher sell for some, but the iPad Air for 2020 is so impressive that you may have trouble choosing between it and the iPad Pro.

The iPad Air (2020) looks modern and offers a lot of power and functionality. It's very similar to the 11-inch iPad Pro, and will actually be the more sensible option for many people. If you don't need a high-refresh-rate HDR screen, better speakers and cameras, LiDAR scanner, or higher storage options, the new iPad Air will do just fine. It has a newer processor plus the same style, USB Type-C port, and compatibility with the Magic Keyboard and Pencil 2. Rumours suggest that the iPad Pro lineup is about to get a major refresh with Mini-LED or OLED screens, 5G, and an even more powerful processor, which will return some order to Apple's hierarchy.

The iPad Air 4 definitely has it's place in Apple's iPad lineup thanks to its new modern design and support for the Magic Keyboard case. For $599, it's actually been a pretty great deal for what you get, and if you want the full package, it's priced at $1000 with the case and Apple Pencil 2. However, the new M1 MacBook Air for $999 is so good that it makes the iPad Air 4 a tough buy for a few different reasons. In this video, I review the iPad Air and compare it to the M1 MacBook Air in terms of everything from portability and design to performance and app support.

Fortunately, the iPad Air delivers the goods. The design and form factor is great, the display is excellent, and the performance is superb. The old adage “you get what you pay for” holds water here. And I would argue that for a device that you are likely going to keep around and use for a couple of years (more than, say, a phone), it makes sense to get the best you can afford now so that you don’t have to upgrade as early.

What stands out about the 2020 iPad Air is how well-rounded it is. Yes, there are still people for whom the iPad Pro will be a better fit – those whose go-to apps benefit significantly from ProMotion, for example, or a larger display, or who want more storage and are willing to pay handsomely for it – but I suspect the new iPad Air will quash tablet upgraditis for most people. As a result, though it may be $100 more than the old Air, this new 4th generation iPad Air feels like it offers the best of all worlds. Affordable, powerful, beautifully designed and constructed, and increasingly able to do the things that once would have almost certainly demanded a “full” laptop to achieve. Even if that doesn’t make it the device for you, as a teaser of what Apple Silicon will do for Mac, you should be excited.

The iPad Air finally has a solid identity with its fourth-generation model—this time as an affordable alternative to the iPad Pro. While you miss out on features like the 120hz ProMotion display, quad speakers, FaceID, Ultra-wide-angle camera, and LIDAR, the 4th-generation iPad Air comes with colorful back panel options, a newer A14 Bionic processor, and a more palatable price.

The iPad Air 2020 is a huge glow up for Apple’s mid-range tablet, ditching the ageing design for something more industrial and modern. The new design brings it into line with the iPad Pro range, and with a near-identical full-screen display and dimensions to the iPad Pro 11, it can be hard to tell the two apart.

What tie iPad Air 2020 has going for it is a good display for content consumption and gaming. The quad speakers add to the immersion and the battery life is good too. iOS has matured to allow for decent multitasking and if you have a keyboard dock, you can even get some productivity work like typing documents, making spreadsheets and more done. It supports iPad Pro peripherals, which is nice. It may not have the dual-camera setup of the Pro, nor the LiDAR sensor or the 120Hz display. But it makes the right compromises to entice an existing iPad user to upgrade to the Air without worrying about the hefty price tag of the Pro. The only downside is that it still isn't the best replacement for what you can do on Windows or macOS.

Yes, if you are looking for a versatile, powerful portable computing device. In fact, if you are bored of the laptop and not really tied to that form factor then maybe you should consider that iPad Air which is most probably more powerful than most laptops out there now. Here is a device you can carry to the cafe, on the plane and back to office, and still be capable of tackling anything you will encounter in these scenarios. While I said you have to be mindful of the price, the full combo is not costing you more than what similarly specced laptops. Go ahead and own this if you have been itching to upgrade your iPad, or just moving away from traditional laptops.

It even makes the iPad Pro 11-inch a tough sell, as the only real benefit is the faster display (among other smaller differences like the addition of LiDAR).

All iPads, right now, can do similar things. They all support Pencil sketching, keyboards and trackpads and all current models have pretty new processors. So the redesigned iPad Air, starting at $599 (£579, AU$899), is either one of two things: a fancier everyday iPad for you, or a cheaper iPad Pro. And the price, based on how you configure and deck it out in accessories, can vary widely.

And the iPad Air epitomizes that niceness with its new design. Chances are if you’re buying an iPad, you’re going to keep it for many years, and so spending more on a nicer product is going to pay off more in the long run than it would for, say, a phone that might only last you two or three.

What's most confusing about the iPad Air is how it fits into Apple's tablet lineup. It's more powerful than the current iPad Pro despite not being a 'Pro' tier device, but lacks a LiDAR sensor for improved augmented reality AR apps and a 120Hz ProMotion display. Essentially, the new Air is Apple's no-frills, cheaper high-end tablet offering.

With the iPad Air (2020), Apple brings its mid-range tablet closer to parity with the premium iPad Pro. No longer a larger version of the entry-level iPad, the iPad Air was redesigned with slimmer bezels and outfitted with the new A14 Bionic CPU. Now with a larger 10.9-inch panel and support for the Magic Keyboard, the Air borrows the best features of the iPad Pro while omitting niche extras to keep the cost down.

Apple's new 4th gen iPad Air borrows the flat edges and USB-C charging port of the iPad Pro, and even packs a powerful A14 processor as well. This is an excellent tablet, and it's compatible with Apple's Pencil 2 stylus and Magic Keyboard , complete with trackpad. With these accessories, Apple is clearly positioning the iPad Air as a laptop replacement, and while the iPadOS software has greatly improved, it's still not quite up to the task. Plus it's expensive, getting the 256GB iPad Air will cost you $750, and the Magic Keyboard is another $300. Still, for folks looking for a powerful and sleek tablet, and Air is a great choice for almost everyone.

This iPad costs significantly less than the Pro model and, for many users, it offers significantly better value - although the price can quickly ramp up with accessories. The Air is powerful, desirable, fun and functional - it's an iPad for all seasons.

The iPad Air 2020 is a phenomenally well-made tablet that improves upon the last-gen version in a variety of ways, solving issues with that tablet’s dated design and accessories. The jump in price will make this a tougher sell for some, but the iPad Air for 2020 is so impressive that you may have trouble choosing between it and the iPad Pro.

All iPads, right now, can do similar things. They all support Pencil sketching, keyboards and trackpads and all current models have pretty new processors. So the redesigned iPad Air, starting at $599 (£579, AU$899), is either one of two things: a fancier everyday iPad for you, or a cheaper iPad Pro. And the price, based on how you configure and deck it out in accessories, can vary widely.

When relatives and friends ask me what tablet to buy, I'm telling them to get the iPad Air 4. It's not only faster and more stylish than the normal iPad, but the Magic Keyboard support means the iPad Air is finally a laptop beater. If its battery life was longer, or its display were brighter, Apple might have made the best tablet ever.

The iPad Air (2020) offers a great screen, supremely powerful processor, premium design and great Apple Pencil support… it's simply excellent. It's a shame the price has crept up, but it's still the tablet to beat.

The new iPad Air might feel like a minor update from last year’s model, but it’s improved enough that its features and specs are now mostly on par with the pricier iPad Pro. It’s not just the best iPad for most people -- it’s arguably even Apple’s best tablet for the money.

And the iPad Air epitomizes that niceness with its new design. Chances are if you’re buying an iPad, you’re going to keep it for many years, and so spending more on a nicer product is going to pay off more in the long run than it would for, say, a phone that might only last you two or three.

What's most confusing about the iPad Air is how it fits into Apple's tablet lineup. It's more powerful than the current iPad Pro despite not being a 'Pro' tier device, but lacks a LiDAR sensor for improved augmented reality AR apps and a 120Hz ProMotion display. Essentially, the new Air is Apple's no-frills, cheaper high-end tablet offering.

I know, it's not common for us to review anything other than the flagship, but I decided to buy this because I wanted to do an experiment in perspective. See, I've been an avid iPad user for years, and I've spent thousands of dollars getting the best one, but during that process, Apple has slowly been their least expensive models better. I wanted to see if I could survive with the most bare bones inexpensive variant Apple makes, and see if it's really worth paying more to go Pro. I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and this is our review.

Apple surprised everybody by putting their fast M1 chip, that we already know from their MacBook Air and iPad Pro, into the brand-new iPad Air. Find out in our review who will benefit from this upgrade, and whether or not the more expensive iPad Pro is still worth the premium.
Source: Expert Reviews

I’ve seen others wondering where the iPad Air 5 (2022) fits into the iPad range, especially since the iPad Pro 11in is so similar and more capable. I think, however, that it’s more appropriate to flip that question and ask what the point of the smaller iPad Pro is, now that the Air has inherited its M1 processor. If you don’t mind missing out on the Pro’s 120Hz display, its Face ID camera and its slightly superior audio system, the iPad Air delivers a very similar overall experience and performance for a lot less cash. Moreover, what you’re getting here is a laptop alternative that’s as powerful as a MacBook Air but one that costs as much as £300 less. The smaller screen and 64GB base storage might give you pause, but there’s no denying that 2022’s iPad Air packs in an awful lot in for your money.

The iPad Air (2022) continues to be the sweet spot in Apple’s tablet collection, offering more similarities to the premium iPad Pro 11 than ever without a dramatic price increase. It does practically everything you’ll need from an iPad, and the M1 chip will continue to deliver high performance for some time to come.

The iPad Air (5th generation) gives you the most bang for your buck of any tablet to date. Apple’s software support is guaranteed to keep it fresh and stable, but it’s the overkill M1 chip and healthy supply of RAM that ensures it’s future-proofed for many, many years to come. Of course, aside from 5G support, this was fundamentally true of the last-gen iPad Air. Sure, it didn’t have an M1 chip, but the A14 Bionic was already far ahead of the pack in 2020, and remains competitive with the very best mobile silicon today. Meanwhile, the same gripes we had with the 4th generation Air are all present and accounted for, and the grumbles over the 64GB base storage and 60Hz refresh rate have only gotten louder with the passage of time. The iPad Air is in a weird spot, then. It’s still a fantastic gateway into the iPad ecosystem that offers just enough flexibility to function as an “iPad Pro Lite” for work and play. Likewise, if you only want to stream movies and play a handful of games, the base model is a steal, and its screen, design, and feature set are enough of a bump over the regular iPad to justify the extra spend. But even with all that bleeding edge raw power, the iPad Air (5th gen) feels oddly outdated at times — a tablet that received a massive boost in an area it already excelled in, while neglecting its legacy flaws.

While the iPad Air 5th Generation is undeniably an improvement over the iPad Air 4, its key upgrades are to its processor and front-facing camera. Those upgrades are each great in their own right, but for us what really matters are the picture and sound performance, and in these areas it’s pretty much business as usual. There’s nothing wrong with that, though, as the iPad Air is supremely talented in these areas and more or less untouchable by other tablets in its price range. There’s an argument that the standard iPad is the better performance-per-pound proposition for the pure content consumer, but the new Air is the model to go for if you can afford it.

There’s nothing wrong with that, though, as the iPad Air is supremely talented in these areas and more or less untouchable by other tablets in its price range. There’s an argument that the standard iPad is the better performance-per-pound proposition for the pure content consumer, but the new Air is the model to go for if you can afford it.

There’s a big conundrum if you go buying the iPad Air 2022 in the market. It starts at ₹54,900 (WiFi) for the 64GB model and ₹68,900 (WiFi) for the 256GB option. This brings it really close to the 11-inch iPad Pro (WiFI) with 128GB storage which is an overall better product than the iPad Air 2022 at just 3,000 INR markup. Of course, this doesn’t involve the additional cost of accessories like Apple Pencil or Magic Keyboard but if you have the budget go ahead and get the 11-inch iPad Pro.

In short, the 2022 version of the iPad Air is the best of its kind to date. It’s very close to being as good as the somewhat more expensive iPad Pro, and if you’re already an Apple user and used to navigating the company’s ecosystem of apps and services, the iPad Air is actually the most obvious choice if you’re looking for a tablet right now. All the more frustrating, then, that Apple hasn’t gone all the way as far as the screen is concerned. It’s quite obvious that the sleek, slim and lightning-fast iPad Air deserves a Mini-LED screen. Let’s hope it comes with the next update.

In fact, the addition of the touch interface (good luck finding that on a MacBook Air or Pro) and Apple Pencil support brings its own set of benefits to power users, including general ease of use on the move and better stylus support – benefits which many notebooks at this price will struggle to match. Round that off with supreme portability, great design, and extraordinary battery life, and we think we can go out on a limb and say that if you are in the market for a powerful notebook that you can carry around, and are not tied down to specific desktop or platform apps, then the iPad Air (5th generation) is perhaps one of the best options you can get for around Rs 50,000.

As far as direct competition goes, the iPad Air (5th generation) slots in behind the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 ($699) and Lenovo Tab P12 Pro ($699), but ahead of the Galaxy Tab S7 FE ($529), unless you’re looking at the underpowered 5G model of the latter (which we don’t recommend). The Galaxy Tab S8 gets closer than ever to challenging Apple’s tablet dominance with faster charging, but it’s hampered by Android’s poor optimization for larger screens, not-so-stellar battery life, and is eons behind on raw performance.The iPad Air (5th generation) is still uncontested as the best sub-flagship tablet you can buy, and possibly the easiest product to recommend from Apple’s entire, behemoth ecosystem. If you’re rocking any pre-2020 iPad and don’t want to go Pro, this is the one to get. Let’s just hope the next Air gets to “tick” off some of those persistent caveats.

The iPad as a tablet has little competition. Apple may not be the number one player but no one blends the hardware and software in a tablet as seamlessly. But that’s been par for the course. The M1-powered iPad Air could usher in a new era of dominance for Apple as it brings a ridiculous amount of power to a tablet. And that too for Rs 54,900. Look if you think that the iPad Air is expensive then it’s absolutely fine. But then don’t forget that this is Apple — a company that gives the best of the experience at a top dollar. The iPad Air gives you that experience because of the M1 chip and then some more. It looks effortlessly stylish, is future-proof in terms of software updates and if you shell out extra cash, it will prove to be an absolutely capable laptop replacement. The iPad Pro is meant for the ‘pros’ who don’t want to settle for anything than the best. The iPad Air is meant for the majority of people who want an experience close to the best but aren’t willing to pay too much. The iPad Air will be most people's chosen one.

The iPad Air (2022) is yet another fantastic Apple device to be powered by the capable M1 SoC. This new iPad has very few changes compared to its predecessor but even these little things make it better to use, at the same price. The iPad Air (2022) is an excellent media consumption device and can also handle some gaming. With the Apple M1 SoC, the iPad Air (2022) is now on par with the 11-inch iPad Pro (2021) (Review) in terms of performance, while having a significantly lower price. As a result, the iPad Air (2022) will appeal to those who are looking for good performance but who don't necessarily want to spend a premium for the Pro models. While Apple's accessories are expensive, some of them such as the Magic Keyboard definitely help improve the capabilities of the iPad Air (2022). Based on my experience, the iPad Air (2022) might just be able to replace your laptop, as long as you're okay with adjusting your workflow to iPad apps.

The M1 iPad Air is a big leap forward for the mid-range iPad. It has the same processor as the best iPad Pro, access to the same apps and accessories, and it's cheaper without missing key features. You may miss things like FaceID and the four-speaker system, but that's all confetti over what's already an excellent tablet. The issue isn't whether the iPad Air is a great tablet, though—it's whether it has the software chops to back up all that hardware. In many cases, for things like knocking out a few emails or taking notes for class, the Air shines as a working tool. But it still can't do everything a laptop can, and you may not realize it until you've already made the jump. Certain web apps, for instance, may not work on your iPad, so you'll want a desktop or laptop nearby for when those cracks start to show. (Filling out the forms my doctor uses is a horrendous process for that very reason.) That said, the M1 iPad Air is still plenty powerful for most tasks. It may not be able to do serious development work, but it's capable of executing most tasks with ease thanks to that snappy M1 chip.

The Apple iPad Air 5 aka Air 2022 refresh is something that I’d definitely recommend to every other person looking to buy a premium tablet. Not only does it come with the portability of a tablet but, carries the performance of a laptop. I mean, of course, I would not go so far as to say that it replaces your laptop. However, there is way too much power in this iPad than you would even require. No Android offering comes remotely close to beating the Apple iPad Air 2022 in this price range. My only complain would be with the base model coming with only 64GB of ROM. The price gap between the base model and the 256GB variant is nuts. Honestly, what you are paying for is the processor and 5G connectivity. Apart from that, everything else is the same as you would see in the iPad Air 4. The iPad Air 5 is the perfect tablet for everyone because of the monstrous versatility that it offers. Seamless performance? HUGE Check. Fantastic gaming? BIG Check. Brilliant display? Check. Great battery life? Check. Good cameras? Check.

Stuck at home over the past couple of years, I have been slowly weaned away from my iPad, which otherwise is the device I carry everywhere for everything from recruitment drives to conferences and even international trips. Now, I have the luxury of sitting in front of the MacBook all the time for work. But as me and others slowly stumble back into a routine that has some semblance of the lives we left behind, the need for a portable device that is also powerful and versatile is slowly returning to our lives. This is where the new iPad Air powered by Apple’s M1 processor could make a serious impact.

To be honest, the iPad Air 5th Gen is simply unnecessary for those considering to spend extra over the base iPad. At the same time, it is inadequate for those wanting to save some money over the 11-inch iPad Pro. This iPad Air is designed to sit perfectly in between, tempting prospective buyers of the standard 10.1-inch iPad to upgrade for the “Pro-like” experiences. For basic “iPad things”, this iPad Air is an overkill and you could be content with the standard iPad, or even the iPad Mini. That doesn’t mean the iPad Air 5th Gen is useless. In my two weeks with this iPad, I enjoyed the finer experience of its immersive display, good speakers, great video call camera, slick performance, and a beautifully polished iPadOS experience. This is an iPad for iPad enthusiasts who want to keep an eye on the budget. If you just want a good iPad without the bells and whistles of the Pro models, I can't think of anything better than the iPad Air 5th Gen.

At this point, you might be thinking, “Right, why don’t get I just get the regular iPad then?” With prices starting at S$499, that’s certainly an enticing option if you want to save money. However, the regular iPad has a markedly less powerful processor (A13 Bionic), its design is quite dated, the display isn’t as nice, its speakers are only on one side, and it doesn’t work with the latest accessories. It really is a basic tablet and the iPad Air provides a much better experience. To put it in another way, I think people would regret more if they settled for a regular iPad when they could have gotten the iPad Air rather than spending the extra outright on an iPad Air. So yes, the new iPad Air is by no means an affordable tablet. But it makes a strong case for itself as being the best tablet for most people. The design and form factor can hardly be faulted, the display is great, and the performance is utterly peerless. Battery life could be better but that’s my only real complaint.

The iPad Air (2022) is one hell of a machine which puts mid-range Android tablets to shame. It is fluid, powerful and, at the asked price, comes out as a more exciting package than even the iPad Pro. There is a chance that a lot of users might not be able to make full use of the M1 chip but, even then, the iPad Air is a great investment because you are likely to use it for a good number of years without any performance-related issues. The only problem for me is 64GB storage on the base model. I don't think it will be enough on a device like this. But, if that's not an issue, then the iPad Air gives you an iPad Pro-like performance for less. That’s a sweet deal.

The iPad Air remains the sweet spot in Apple’s collection; it sports an industrial design that looks great and feels good in the hand, offers iPad Pro-level productivity with the inclusion of a desktop-level M1 chipset and full compatibility with the premium Magic Keyboard – something that can’t be said of any other non-Pro iPad. The Apple Pencil 2 support remains solid too, making for a capable tablet for students, gamers and even creatives that feel they won’t make use of the ProMotion display on offer from the (near-identical but more expensive) iPad Pro 11. There are also the added benefits of 5G connectivity and Apple’s Center Stage camera tech, bringing the iPad Air in line with the rest of Apple’s tablet collection.iPadOS 15 is another strong point, offering not only a large library of apps fully optimised for the 10.9in display but smart features like split-screen multitasking, dictation and even the ability to copy and paste text from within images, making for a capable tablet that’ll do practically anything you need without complaint.

After years of reviewing iPads, my perspective on them changed this year when my teenager started using one as their primary school computer. If you have a focused workflow—like taking notes, filling out forms, and/or sketching—the iPad is a better option than a traditional laptop because it keeps you focused. iPadOS unlocks access to the tablet-optimized creativity apps you can't get on Android devices, including those within the Adobe Creative Suite. It's the best platform for single-task computing. If you primarily want a tablet for consuming content, the base model iPad is your best choice. The 12.9-inch iPad Pro remains a luxury option—unless it's the primary tool with which you make serious money, it's not necessary. The 2022 iPad Air gives you many of the same features of the iPad Pro, including an M1 processor and second-gen Apple Pencil support, for a much more attainable price. For everyday creators and students with a tablet-focused workflow, the iPad Air is your best option, and our Editors' Choice winner.

After years of reviewing iPads, my perspective on them changed this year when my teenager started using one as their primary school computer. If you have a focused workflow—like taking notes, filling out forms, and/or sketching—the iPad is a better option than a traditional laptop because it keeps you focused. iPadOS unlocks access to the tablet-optimized creativity apps you can't get on Android devices, including those within the Adobe Creative Suite. It's the best platform for single-task computing. If you primarily want a tablet for consuming content, the base model iPad is your best choice. The 12.9-inch iPad Pro remains a luxury option—unless it's the primary tool with which you make serious money, it's not necessary. The 2022 iPad Air gives you many of the same features of the iPad Pro, including an M1 processor and second-gen Apple Pencil support, for a much more attainable price. For everyday creators and students with a tablet-focused workflow, the iPad Air is your best option, and our Editors' Choice winner.

The iPad Air 2022 is an outstanding tablet and an excellent choice if you’re looking to upgrade an ageing device. It’s fast, looks stunning, and can do just about everything the even pricier iPad Pro can. But as an upgrade to an already fantastic tablet, it misses the mark in a few ways. Areas I’d hoped would be refreshed (screen tech, storage options and front camera placement) have remained the same, while features that were great already – notably performance – have received all the attention. Still, this remains my go-to recommendation for anyone looking for a tablet that’s for more than just casual web browsing and emails.

At this point, you might be thinking, “Right, why don’t get I just get the regular iPad then?” With prices starting at S$499, that’s certainly an enticing option if you want to save money. However, the regular iPad has a markedly less powerful processor (A13 Bionic), its design is quite dated, the display isn’t as nice, its speakers are only on one side, and it doesn’t work with the latest accessories. It really is a basic tablet and the iPad Air provides a much better experience. To put it in another way, I think people would regret more if they settled for a regular iPad when they could have gotten the iPad Air rather than spending the extra outright on an iPad Air. So yes, the new iPad Air is by no means an affordable tablet. But it makes a strong case for itself as being the best tablet for most people. The design and form factor can hardly be faulted, the display is great, and the performance is utterly peerless. Battery life could be better but that’s my only real complaint.

Yes. You won’t feel short-changed if you go for the iPad Air 5 instead of an iPad Pro, provided you aren’t coming from a ProMotion-equipped iPad, but you’d almost certainly regret buying the basic, less-capable iPad just to save a little money.

The 5th gen iPad Air is Apple’s 2022 refresh of their midrange 10.9” tablet. The new model brings the Apple M1 processor, optional 5G, Center Stage support and updated USB-C speeds. The Air starts at $599 and it has a wide gamut P3 IPS display with Apple Pencil 2 support, fairly slim bezels, Touch ID in the side power button, stereo speakers and a 20 watt charger in the box. It’s compatible with accessories like keyboards, cases and docks same as the last gen model. For those looking for an iPad with a high quality display, future-proof processor and optional 5G that won’t break the bank, the Air is the sweet spot.

So, should you buy the iPad Air 5? To be fair – yeah, it is very hard to recommend the iPad Pro over it. You basically get all of the power of the Pro and access to the same accessories – the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard. Still, if you are considering an iPad as your serious work machine, the big screen of the iPad Pro 12.9-inch definitely gives you more real estate to play with. But I feel the main comparisons will be drawn between the iPad Air (2022) and iPad Pro 11 (2021). They basically have the same specs, but the iPad Pro 11 has 120 Hz ProMotion display, and there are slightly different storage options. Let’s ponder that a bit – what storage options we have with the iPad Air 5 and which one you should probably go with.

I’ve seen others wondering where the iPad Air 5 (2022) fits into the iPad range, especially since the iPad Pro 11in is so similar and more capable. I think, however, that it’s more appropriate to flip that question and ask what the point of the smaller iPad Pro is, now that the Air has inherited its M1 processor. If you don’t mind missing out on the Pro’s 120Hz display, its Face ID camera and its slightly superior audio system, the iPad Air delivers a very similar overall experience and performance for a lot less cash. Moreover, what you’re getting here is a laptop alternative that’s as powerful as a MacBook Air but one that costs as much as £300 less. The smaller screen and 64GB base storage might give you pause, but there’s no denying that 2022’s iPad Air packs in an awful lot in for your money.

The iPad Air has everything the last generation offered, but supplements this with future-focused 5G support, and a better chip. It’s a genuine improvement to Apple’s most versatile tablet and gives developers a platform to support even more demanding applications in future. Overall, it's an excellent tablet that reinforces the Air’s position as the reference standard that defines the mid-range expectation of what tablets can do.

The fact that there's an Apple M1 inside this thing, the same chipset that's in the excellent MacBook Air and Mac mini, makes the limitations of iPadOS all the more frustrating. I can't help but think about how macOS runs so smoothly on Apple Silicon, and how it doesn't demand the same workflow adjustments I always have to go through when I try to switch wholesale from a Mac laptop to an iPad. I'm not saying macOS on the iPad Air would be completely smooth sailing. It's definitely designed with a keyboard and a mouse or trackpad in mind, after all. Thing is, though, I see an increasing number of people using their iPad with a keyboard too, especially since Apple's official Magic Keyboard for its tablets has gotten so good. The size means that yes, it's more cramped to type on than a MacBook keyboard, sure, but not by that much, and already I'm hitting a decent accuracy rate. I can't see it happening, of course. Apple benefits from there being separation between iPad and Mac, and has already shown its vision of cross-compatibility by virtue of being able to run iOS and iPadOS apps on macOS machines.

However, as is usual with Apple products, you will likely pay way more than the base retail price to get the full experience. The $599 model of the iPad Air 5 (2022) comes in just 64GB of storage, which is really low in 2022 standards. The next (and only) option up is 256GB, whose price jumps to $749. Then you may want a keyboard or Apple Pencil to take advantage of the awesome capabilities of the iPad Air. Adding both will run your cost closer to $1,000. There are third-party options for keyboards, but not the Apple Pencil. Despite that, I still think the iPad Air 5 (2022) is worth it. I have long said Apple’s best products — the one product that in my opinion deserves the hype — is the iPad Pro. This iPad Air, with M1, is basically giving you iPad Pro-level performance for less. And that’s an absolute win.

Two years ago, the iPad Air wowed us, and the 2022 model repeats the feat: it's an impressively versatile and capable tablet. The powerful new M1 chip is welcome, and the extra punch will be appreciated by digital artists and gamers especially, even if it doesn't offer a clear everyday benefit in the way improved battery life would. The iPad Air 2022 is also now dangerously close in price to the iPad Pro, which has seen discounts since its launch last year, and it’s harder to pin down the Air’s place in the iPad lineup as a result. But this is a great tablet for a spot of word processing, digital sketching, gaming, messaging and more. It’s all the things that make Apple’s iPad great, in a stylish design with some attractive color options.

It might not look it, but the latest iPad Air has had quite the update with new features, even faster performance and now 5G connectivity that make it the ideal companion to work, play and to enjoy your content. We see the iPad Air as “the middle iPad” because it offers a lot more power than the entry level iPad but is far more affordable than the iPad Pro. Since its upgrade last year, with the new all screen design, the iPad Air has a lot more in common now with the iPad Pro than the entry level iPad. And with the addition of Apple’s M1 processor, the iPad Air has gone from the middle iPad to an upper iPad that’s closer to the iPad Pro than ever before. Sure, it doesn’t have Face ID, a larger Liquid Retina XDR display and mini-LED backlight of the iPad Pro.

Apple's iPad Air is the best iPad for most people; it’s significantly better than the basic $329 iPad and is nearly identical to the 11-inch iPad Pro that costs $200 more than the Air. If you want a bigger or smaller screen, the iPad mini and 12.9-inch iPad Pro are still great options. But for anyone who wants a premium tablet that’s about as future proof as it gets, the iPad Air is the way to go.

Assuming the iPad won't take a leap into Mac-land, right now all the iPads are capable and useful, and all have been updated enough in 2021 or 2022 to feel good enough. I love how the iPad is a relatively lower-priced versatile computer in Apple's lineup, but it all depends on what you're looking to get out of it. I'd still recommend the basic iPad for a lot of people, but this iPad Air is a solid step up, and the one I'd probably want to buy the most. But keep in mind: The 64GB $599 model doesn't have enough storage. You'll need the 256GB model, which is $750. Apple's entry-level iPad, meanwhile, costs $329 for 64GB of storage and $479 for 256GB. You're paying nearly double the price for the entry-level Air. Is the extra $270 worth it for you? Maybe. Is it worth it to pay another $200 to get the entry-level 11-inch iPad Pro, which has 128GB of storage (more acceptable) and better cameras, 120Hz display, even better speakers, lidar and Face ID? Probably not. I wouldn't pay up for the Pro at this point… not until Apple finalizes its plans for that model later this year.

If you don't need the scale of the iPad Pro, but want something more exciting than the 9th Gen iPad, the 2022 iPad Air's addition of an M1 processor helps future-proof it when it comes to running those ever-increasing power-hungry apps. If you own the 2020 model then there's little upgrade appeal, but for everyone else this is a super iPad.

By now, you probably have the gist of this review: The new iPad Air is a modest upgrade over the previous generation. That’s true, but it’s also damning the Air with faint praise. To be clear, it’s an excellent tablet. It’s extremely fast, has a lovely screen, runs a massive ecosystem of quality apps and will be a capable device for years to come. If I sound unenthusiastic, it’s because this was always true. It was definitely time for Apple to update the iPad Air, but the company got so much right with the 2020 edition that this new device is a logical improvement to a formula that was already working. As such, anyone who bought the 2020 Air or one of the last few iPad Pros won’t find a ton new or different here. But compared to the 2019 Air, or any base-level iPad from the last few years, the new model is a massive upgrade. Overall, I think the iPad Air is the best iPad for most people: It’s significantly better than the basic $329 iPad and is nearly identical to the 11-inch iPad Pro that costs $200 more than the Air.

When it's all said and done, you're looking at $599 for the 64GB iPad Air, $129 for the Apple Pencil and $299 for the Magic Keyboard. That's $1,027 to buy everything you'd need to convert the iPad Air into a 2-in-1 device, with just 64GB of storage. For some that's sure to be enough space, but not for everyone. The base storage model should be 128GB, and it's unfortunate that's not the case. But, really, the base storage is my only gripe with this year's edition of the iPad Air. It's as powerful as the iPad Pro, but costs hundreds of dollars less -- even when you max out the storage -- with a display that's on par with the 11-inch iPad Pro. If you're in the market for an iPad, and the base model and iPad Mini aren't enough for you, the iPad Air is where your search should begin, and most likely, end. The more Apple pays attention to the iPad Air, the less the 11-inch iPad Pro makes sense to me.

The new Air catches up where it needed to – Centre Stage; 5G – and blazes ahead with that unexpected M1. It’s powerful, smart, sleek and great to use. If your onboard storage needs are relatively low – with you streaming, having the system intelligently offload games, and saving files to the cloud – the 64GB model represents good value. Where things become more complicated is when you opt for 256GB. At that point, you’re 30 quid away from the 11in iPad Pro – albeit with half the storage. But the Pro nets you ProMotion, Thunderbolt, a LiDAR and four-speaker audio. At that point, we’d go Pro. At 64GB, though – or if you prize storage over all else and go for that 256GB model – the Air won’t disappoint. It’s a top-notch tablet, supported by an ecosystem that makes it highly versatile for an increasingly wide range of users.

The new iPad Air is an F1 car disguised as a nice mid-range saloon. It's a practical, portable tablet with a great screen and speakers, hiding a processor that's capable of meeting even pro needs. Few people who buy the iPad Air will ever push the M1 hard, but it's not like Apple has raised the price here – it'll do all the basic jobs perfectly, and then if ever get more ambitious, you'll know it can handle it. It's a bit of a shame that the screen is still 60Hz, because certainly the processor can handle 120Hz, and it's a more pleasant experience even outside of using Apple Pencil. And it'd be nice to have stronger camera performance indoors. But I don't consider these dealbreakers – for the majority of people, this is the best tablet on the market.

When I take a few steps back, I think that there are actually two viable new iPad Air options available here. There’s the base 64GB model for people looking for an upgrade over their existing entry-level iPad. Then, beyond that, there is the 256GB model for people really looking to take the plunge and use an iPad as their main computer, but aren’t interested in shelling out the extra cash for a Pro. If you’re looking to upgrade your current iPad and usually spend some time reading and browsing the web, then the standard storage configuration will be enough. You’ll love this iPad’s more modern design compared to the Home button clad models like the 10.2-inch iPad. If you want to save a few bucks and don't care about speed or the modern hardware design, then the $429 standard iPad is still a great tablet. The other iPad Air here is for a completely different customer -- someone who’s looking for the larger 256GB model that’s aimed at creators. These people will likely buy an Apple Pencil or the Magic Keyboard and truly use this as a competitor to the MacBook Air.

Apple's iPad Air is the best iPad for most people; it’s significantly better than the basic $329 iPad and is nearly identical to the 11-inch iPad Pro that costs $200 more than the Air. If you want a bigger or smaller screen, the iPad mini and 12.9-inch iPad Pro are still great options. But for anyone who wants a premium tablet that’s about as future proof as it gets, the iPad Air is the way to go.

Assuming the iPad won't take a leap into Mac-land, right now all the iPads are capable and useful, and all have been updated enough in 2021 or 2022 to feel good enough. I love how the iPad is a relatively lower-priced versatile computer in Apple's lineup, but it all depends on what you're looking to get out of it. I'd still recommend the basic iPad for a lot of people, but this iPad Air is a solid step up, and the one I'd probably want to buy the most. But keep in mind: The 64GB $599 model doesn't have enough storage. You'll need the 256GB model, which is $750. Apple's entry-level iPad, meanwhile, costs $329 for 64GB of storage and $479 for 256GB. You're paying nearly double the price for the entry-level Air. Is the extra $270 worth it for you? Maybe. Is it worth it to pay another $200 to get the entry-level 11-inch iPad Pro, which has 128GB of storage (more acceptable) and better cameras, 120Hz display, even better speakers, lidar and Face ID? Probably not. I wouldn't pay up for the Pro at this point… not until Apple finalizes its plans for that model later this year.

If you don't need the scale of the iPad Pro, but want something more exciting than the 9th Gen iPad, the 2022 iPad Air's addition of an M1 processor helps future-proof it when it comes to running those ever-increasing power-hungry apps. If you own the 2020 model then there's little upgrade appeal, but for everyone else this is a super iPad.

“The 2022 iPad Air is one of the best premium tablets you can buy, now with enough power to be as good at content creation as general-purpose browsing and TV-watching,” says The Guardian. “If you’re in the market for a new tablet, basically for any reason, the new iPad Air should be your go-to,” opines Popular Science.

The new iPad Air outshines its predecessor thanks to its powerful M1 chip, 12MP front camera with Center Stage and 5G connectivity. It sets a new standard for ultra-thin tablets and is one of the best tablets of 2022.

By now, you probably have the gist of this review: The new iPad Air is a modest upgrade over the previous generation. That’s true, but it’s also damning the Air with faint praise. To be clear, it’s an excellent tablet. It’s extremely fast, has a lovely screen, runs a massive ecosystem of quality apps and will be a capable device for years to come. If I sound unenthusiastic, it’s because this was always true. It was definitely time for Apple to update the iPad Air, but the company got so much right with the 2020 edition that this new device is a logical improvement to a formula that was already working. As such, anyone who bought the 2020 Air or one of the last few iPad Pros won’t find a ton new or different here. But compared to the 2019 Air, or any base-level iPad from the last few years, the new model is a massive upgrade. Overall, I think the iPad Air is the best iPad for most people: It’s significantly better than the basic $329 iPad and is nearly identical to the 11-inch iPad Pro that costs $200 more than the Air.

When it's all said and done, you're looking at $599 for the 64GB iPad Air, $129 for the Apple Pencil and $299 for the Magic Keyboard. That's $1,027 to buy everything you'd need to convert the iPad Air into a 2-in-1 device, with just 64GB of storage. For some that's sure to be enough space, but not for everyone. The base storage model should be 128GB, and it's unfortunate that's not the case. But, really, the base storage is my only gripe with this year's edition of the iPad Air. It's as powerful as the iPad Pro, but costs hundreds of dollars less -- even when you max out the storage -- with a display that's on par with the 11-inch iPad Pro. If you're in the market for an iPad, and the base model and iPad Mini aren't enough for you, the iPad Air is where your search should begin, and most likely, end. The more Apple pays attention to the iPad Air, the less the 11-inch iPad Pro makes sense to me.

The new Air catches up where it needed to – Centre Stage; 5G – and blazes ahead with that unexpected M1. It’s powerful, smart, sleek and great to use. If your onboard storage needs are relatively low – with you streaming, having the system intelligently offload games, and saving files to the cloud – the 64GB model represents good value. Where things become more complicated is when you opt for 256GB. At that point, you’re 30 quid away from the 11in iPad Pro – albeit with half the storage. But the Pro nets you ProMotion, Thunderbolt, a LiDAR and four-speaker audio. At that point, we’d go Pro. At 64GB, though – or if you prize storage over all else and go for that 256GB model – the Air won’t disappoint. It’s a top-notch tablet, supported by an ecosystem that makes it highly versatile for an increasingly wide range of users.

The new iPad Air is an F1 car disguised as a nice mid-range saloon. It's a practical, portable tablet with a great screen and speakers, hiding a processor that's capable of meeting even pro needs. Few people who buy the iPad Air will ever push the M1 hard, but it's not like Apple has raised the price here – it'll do all the basic jobs perfectly, and then if ever get more ambitious, you'll know it can handle it. It's a bit of a shame that the screen is still 60Hz, because certainly the processor can handle 120Hz, and it's a more pleasant experience even outside of using Apple Pencil.

Should you buy the iPad Air 5? To be fair — yeah, it is very hard to recommend the iPad Pro over it. You basically get all of the power of the Pro and access to the same accessories — the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard. Still, if you are considering an iPad as your serious work machine, the big screen of the iPad Pro 12.9-inch definitely gives you more real estate to play with. But I feel the main comparisons will be drawn between the iPad Air (2022) and iPad Pro 11 (2021). They basically have the same specs, but the iPad Pro 11 has 120 Hz ProMotion display, and there are slightly different storage options.
