By integrating the M1 SoC into the iPad Air Apple managed to close the gap between the Air and the Pro. Overall performance is superb and should last for many years to come. At the time of writing there were practically no apps that pushed the M1 to its limits.

great design and build quality, fast M1 processor, good IPS display without PWM flickering, very good speakers

60 Hz display, no Wi-FI 6E

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.

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...

Combining desktop-class performance with an elegant design, 5G, and comprehensive accessory support, the new iPad Air is the best iPad for most people all over again.

Beautiful design, Superb processing and graphics power, Cheaper than the iPad Pro

No ProMotion, Lack of battery improvements

Jump to: Design | Screen | Hardware and Performance Speakers | Camera | Software features | Should you buy? Apple quite predictably announced a refresh to the iPad Air line. Why predictably?

Unrivaled performance at this price, Premium build quality, Solid speakers, Supports iPad Pro (11-inch) accessories

64 GB of base storage is a bit stingy, the only other option is a costly jump to 256 GB, Expensive accessories

When I take a few steps back, I think that there are actually two new iPad Air options available here...

Lowest cost M1 chip, Still a great design, The Magic Keyboard is great

64GB base storage is limiting, Single rear camera is outdated, Louder speakers would have been nice at this price

Apple's tock-iest tablet to date is still the best iPad for most people....

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
