The iPad is great for me as someone who was using a much older iPad but I was hoping for more features than the 4th gen one. For most people I don’t think the M1 chip will be noticeably better than the 4th gen processor which I have also used. As I was thinking about upgrading before this release, I bought this one and am happy with it overall.

So far early on i’m loving this new very fast slightly bigger screen from my previous model ipad, as this is my very first apple device without a home button that is taking me a bit of getting used too which i am sure i will get used too over time, love the purple colour plus also love as per usual pbtech was cheaper than everywhere else on this new model ipad. Highly recommend buying one

Can’t really fault it The M1chip speed is amazing The weight and grip of it is comfortable Cam is superb. The speakers are impressive I use it for work and play. 10/10 would recommend

The iPad Air 2022 is Apple’s best all-around tablet. It arrives with just enough ‘Pro’ features to make the current 11-inch iPad Pro difficult to recommend, and a decent array of extras to make it a significantly better investment than the base iPad .

Great display, Support for excellent accessories, Seriously powerful internals, Attractive design and array of colours, If you want Apple’s best all-around tablet With many of the features of the iPad Pro and a design that’s far more modern than the basic model, this is the iPad that ticks the most...

Annoying front camera placement, No 128GB storage option, Creaky body, You want to store lots of files offline The storage options here are strange, with only 64GB and 256GB available. The former is isn’t very generous, while the latter brings the price a little too close to that of the iPad Pro.

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...

Great design, Speedy performance, Incredibly versatile

Too close in cost to iPad Pro, Battery life only average, 64GB is too little storage for base model

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.

Excellent performance thanks to Apple M1 processor, Improved front-facing camera, 2nd Gen Apple Pencil stylus support

Still no Face ID, Storage limited to 256GB (and still no 128GB option), Rear camera isn't great, Accessories are expensive

Adding the Apple M1 processor is a big change and at a stroke makes the iPad Air faster and more powerful, allowing demanding apps to run at full...

ProMotion and more storage would have been nice, but this new Air is a top-quality package – not least because of that M1 chip.

Powerful M1 chip, Excellent build quality, Vastly improved front camera, Rich app and hardware ecosystem

Only 64GB entry-level storage, Poor external display support
