iPad Air: All you need to know
In 2021 we saw Apple introduce a new iPad mini (6th gen), iPad Pro with M1, and a new iPad (9th gen), but the iPad Air was untouched… until March 2022 when Apple introduced the iPad Air (5th gen).
The new iPad Air is equipped with an M1 Chip, which is identical to the 2021 iPad Pro. This chip has an upgraded 12MP Ultra Wide front cam with Center Stage support (compared to the 7MP FaceTime cam on the older model). It also supports 5G on cellular models. The new iPad Air’s color finishes are slightly different than the previous generation. Space grey is now joined by purple, starlight and blue. Other than the colors, chip, and camera, the design and other features haven’t changed—it still has a 10.9-inch display.
