Unsurprisingly, the second-generation Apple Pencil that magnetically snaps to the top of the iPad is supported here, too.
That means the two first-party keyboard cases Apple offered for the 2020 Air work fine here. Back cameras on tablets have pretty niche use cases, like scanning documents and trying things in AR, and the Air’s camera is just fine for that, but I wouldn’t let it influence your purchase decision.įinally, the new Air uses the same accessories as the old model. It produces perfectly fine images, but as usual the camera on your phone is probably better in almost any circumstance. It’s a 12-megapixel shooter with a wide-angle lens and no flash. The back camera, too, is identical to the one from the 2020 Air. As usual, Apple provided us with a top-of-the-line model, with 256GB of storage and built-in 5G. Sixty-four gigs is enough for most people, but if you want to store a lot of videos and games or plan on doing a lot of creative work with it, you’re probably better off just getting 256GB from the jump. I wish that the base model came with 128GB, but Apple has to differentiate the iPad Pro somehow. $599 gets you 64GB, and you’ll have to pay another $150 to quadruple that storage to 256GB. Other things that remain unchanged include the price and storage options. Although I definitely enjoy using Apple’s “ProMotion” screens, I can’t say I noticed much of a difference once I sat down and started using the Air.īy subscribing, you are agreeing to Engadget's Terms and Privacy Policy. The main difference between this display and the one on the 11-inch Pro is the latter has the ability to refresh at up to 120Hz, while the iPad Air is stuck at 60Hz. It’s clearly not as nice as the mini-LED display on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, but it’s a far better screen than the one on the basic iPad. It’s just perceptibly smaller than the 11-inch screen on my iPad Pro, and the bezel looks a bit chunky, but it doesn’t change the way I use the tablet. It’s a 10.9-inch “liquid Retina” LCD display with Apple’s True Tone feature for optimizing the screen’s color temperature based on ambient light. The display is also the same as the last-gen edition, but that’s not a bad thing. Touch ID is still built into the top button, and it works just fine although I definitely prefer Face ID. (Apple loaned me a device in a lovely new shade of blue.) Otherwise, it’s exactly the same size and effectively the same weight Apple’s specs page says it is two hundredths of a pound heavier than the old model, not something anyone would notice. From the outside, the only way anyone will know you’re using the 2022 model is if you have one of the new color options introduced this year. The 2020 Air was a total redesign not so this time.
