It’s taken me a long time to appreciate The iPad has changed a lot in the past few years. Its physical form is pretty much the same. But its software has evolved to support more desktop-like functions. It runs on insanely powerful chips. It works with a keyboard and mouse. These things still don’t make it a great work tool, but at least it’s getting better at being one. For years I brought my laptop with me on vacations for fear of having to file something urgent for work; in the summer of 2019 I carried just an iPad. (Everything was fine!) This year, a fellow tech writer went as far as naming the iPad the “ So if someone asked me now, “Should I get an iPad?” I would say yes. The question is which one, because there are a lot of them, and if you’re looking to splurge on a high-end model, the differences between the 2020 iPad Air and the Variations on a Theme The new iPad Air launched last month. It starts at $599 for a model with 64 gigabytes of internal storage, and $749 for 256 GB. If you opt to buy an iPad Air with both Wi-Fi and cellular capabilities, it will cost $130 more for either storage configuration. The Air has a 10.9-inch “Liquid Retina” display, which is Apple’s name for a super-high-resolution liquid crystal display. It’s marketed as having an edge-to-edge display, because the iPad’s bezels have shrunk over the years, though they’re still at least half an inch wide. The body of the iPad Air is made of 100 percent recycled aluminum, and Apple has added a coup...

Much of the new iPad Air from Apple is a known quantity. The design, screen, speakers, rear camera, and fingerprint scanner are all carried over from the 2020 model. The updated front-facing camera with Apple’s Center Stage feature can be found across the entire iPad line. It’s compatible with all the same cases, keyboard, and stylus accessories as before. And the M1 chip inside the new Air is lifted right from What’s new is that you can get that combination of features in a tablet that starts at $599. That’s now the lowest price you can get access to Apple’s impressive M1 processor, undercutting even the value-driven (and screenless) Mac Mini. You also have the option of 5G for slightly faster-than-LTE cellular speeds. Oh, and there are a couple of new colors this time around, including the fetching blue of my review unit. New processor and 5G aside, the iPad Air remains the iPad for those looking for a nicer tablet than the base model, but don’t necessarily want to spend the cost or need all the bells and whistles of the iPad Pro. It’s got a modern design, more performance than most people will know what to do with in a tablet, and an excellent screen that works equally well in portrait or landscape orientation. It’s not the iPad I’d recommend wholly replacing a laptop with, though it can work for certain laptop-like tasks when paired with an optional keyboard case. It’s the nicer iPad for those looking to do iPad things, like reading, watching video, playing games, taki...

OS: iPadOS 14 CPU: A14 Bionic Storage: 64GB, 256GB Display: 10.9-inch (2360 x 1640 pixels) Liquid Retina Rear cameras: 12MP wide (f/1.8) Video: Up to 4K at up to 60 fps Front camera: 7MP TrueDepth Wireless: Wi-Fi 6, optional 4G LTE Battery: 28.6 watt-hour Battery life: 10:29 (tested) Size: 9.7 x 7 x 0.24 inches Weight: 1 pound Price: $599 The $599 Apple iPad Air (2020) occupies a pricing tier between the $329 10.2-inch Not only does the 10.9-inch iPad Air 4 impress with its flat-edge design (which has the cool color options of the iPhone 12 in the shell of the 11-inch iPad Pro), but its Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) and Magic Keyboard support mean it's more capable of replacing your laptop (provided you spend more for those accessories). It's also got speedy A14 Bionic performance and USB-C charging, two upgrades I wish the normal iPad could get. This iPad Air (2020) review will explain how the tablet's only real downsides are comparative issues you might not notice otherwise. Its screen is bright and colorful, but competitors shine brighter and produce more color. Oh, and its long battery life is outpaced by two of its competitors — which include the normal iPad. That said, this model was replaced — and Apple no longer sells it. Our iPad Air (2020) review: Release date and price The iPad Air 4 came out on Friday, Oct. 23, 2020. It starts at $599 for the 64GB configuration, and you can upgrade to 256GB for $150 — which brings you to $749. LTE cellular connectivity costs $130 more...

The iPad Air has a flat back and squarer edges than the standard model The Air fits a 10.9-inch, 2,360-by-1,640 screen into the same body size as the 10.2-inch iPad by reducing the bezels. All iPads have 264ppi screens, so as they get larger, you just get more real estate; this screen, therefore, gives you just about as much surface area as the 11-inch iPad Pro. It's laminated with an anti-reflective coating that makes it much less reflective, and more pleasantly usable, than the standard iPad's screen; it also has Apple's wide color gamut, which I've never really personally noticed. See It (Opens in a new window) The top and bottom of the tablet have powerful stereo speakers, which give real, two-channel stereo sound in landscape mode; on the lower-cost iPad, the speakers are only at the bottom. On the top of the tablet, there's a really cool innovation in the form of a power button that doubles as a fingerprint sensor. This means the Air doesn't have to have a big bezel for a physical Home button, but it can also use a fingerprint sensor so you don't have to futz around with trying to face-unlock the tablet when you're wearing a mask. Unleash the Power The new iPad Air uses an Apple A14 processor with 4GB of RAM and either 64GB or 256GB of storage. It's the fastest iPad available, and benchmarks faster than any Android device, as well. Here are the numbers: Our iPad Air scored 639,962 on the Antutu benchmark; 595 on Basemark Web; 1,572 single-core and 3,931 multi-core on...

For the last five days, I've been testing the iPad Air, replacing my iPad Pro -- which is normally within arms reach at all times -- with the new Air. Outside of display differences (both in size and quality), I haven't missed my iPad Pro one bit. And heck, I imagine with another week of use, I won't even miss my Pro's 12.9-inch screen. Jason Cipriani/ZDNet A few years ago it felt as if Apple had all but forgotten about the iPad Air. But in 2020 we saw a fresh new design come to the fourth generation iPad Air. Just 18 months later, Apple has once again updated the iPad Air. Only instead of a complete design overhaul for the fifth-generation Air, this year's update focuses on performance. Also: That means the outside of this year's iPad Air looks identical to the 2020 model, save for new colors. The iPad Air now comes in space gray, pink, purple, blue and starlight. The best tablets (aren't all iPads) Choosing the best tablet can be tricky. Yes, the top picks include the Apple iPad and iPad Pro, but we also love the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, Microsoft Surface Go 3, and others. Read now The iPad Air still has a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display that reaches nearly edge-to-edge. There's a new 12-megapixel ultra wide FaceTime camera centered at the top of the screen. Also: After Apple released the ninth-generation iPad, the iPad Air was the only tablet left in the lineup that lacked Apple's Center Stage feature for the FaceTime camera. The new iPad Air gains Center Stage, whi...

OS: iPadOS 15.4 CPU: M1 RAM: 8GB Storage: 64GB, 256GB Display: 10.9-inch (2360 x 1640 pixels) Liquid Retina Front and rear cameras: 12MP wide (f/1.8) Video: Up to 4K at up to 60 fps Wireless: Wi-Fi 6, optional 5G Battery: 10 hours 9 minutes (tested) Size: 9.7 x 7 x 0.24 inches Weight: 1 pound Price: $599 I'm a big fan of Apple's new iPad Air ($599 to start). I thought its predecessor, the However, it's not a revolution: Apple has kept the basic form and function of the previous iteration. And in terms of everyday use, the changes may seem subtle. But the upgraded M1 chip powering this fifth iteration of the iPad Air marks a notable step forward. Thanks to the addition of M1, the iPad Air 2022 is almost on par with the iPad Pro. That isn't to say the Air is now a Pro replacement, but the gap in power is considerably smaller. This, along with its relatively affordable $599 starting price, could make this new iPad Air more compelling than the iPad Pro for budget-minded shoppers who still want the There's no price bump this year from Apple, as the new iPad Air costs the same as the 2020 model when it launched. The standard We reviewed the blue iPad Air featuring Wi-Fi + Cellular connectivity and 256GB of storage. Our unit also came with a number of accessories, including the Magic Keyboard ($299) and Apple Pencil 2 ($129), which are sold separately.
