Rated 5 out of 5

iPad upgrade well worth the money

The Apple iPad Air 5th Gen is all it is cracked up to be and more. The clarity of the camera shots is startling compared to my old iPad Air 2. The sound quality is very good. The increased memory means no more deleting of apps in order to update the operating system! The only thing I do not like is that there is no longer a "home" button for switching between programs or apps. Everything is by gestures, which for a person with tremor or any other hand or arm mobility challenge is not ideal. I do love the new Magic Keyboard, which has lights that illuminate the keyboard at night - a true and helpful improvement.

Great as usual

By BRADY O.

Worked as I expected an Apple product to. Adorama was prompt with shipping. The shopping experience was as excellent as I?ve come to expect from them.

Light. Bright. Full Of Might.

The iPad Air 2022 looks similar to the iPad Air 2020 on the outside, but there are plenty of changes inside. Featuring the supercharged M1 chip, 5G connectivity, and a new front-facing camera system, the latest iPad Air model has the specs to demand your attention.

Light. Bright. Full Of Might.

A Beautiful Display.

iPad Air (5th Generation) has a standard 10.9-inch, Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2360 x 1640, a 264 ppi pixel density, and approximately 500 nits of brightness. The screen also features an anti-glare coating.

Specifications

In addition to its robust M1 chip, the iPad Air features 2x the graphics performance of the iPad Air 4. This gives it a 60 percent performance boost over the previous generation. In front, the camera has been upgraded to a 12MP Ultra-Wide camera that supports Centre Stage, which tracks you during FaceTime calls as you move around the room. Physical connections to storage devices and accessories are easy via USB-C, including video output to an external display. Transferring large photos and videos is quicker than ever thanks to 2x speeds over the previous generation. It is available in two storage options: 64GB, 256GB.

Fun At The Speed Of M1.

Everyday Essentials.

In terms of productivity and drawing, the iPad Air 2022 supports the Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) as well as the Magic Keyboard and Smart Keyboard Folio. Take notes, draw, and mark up screenshots and photos. Whenever inspiration strikes, you’ll be ready.

Shoot. Scan. Take Center Stage.

Stream, Share, Download.

When it comes to wireless, the iPad Air supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0. Although, to enable faster data transmission, cellular models that are available with 5G have switched from 4G to 5G. According to Apple, 5G will support sub-6GHz bands, which will provide blanket coverage similar to LTE.

Stream & Share. Pretty Much Anywhere.

Apple Pencil & Magic Keyboard. Everyday Essentials.

iPad Air supports the second-generation Apple Pencil. Draw, take notes, and mark up screenshots and photos. It's easy to use and always ready when inspiration strikes.

Connect to drives, docks, cameras, and more using USB-C, now with up to 2x faster transfer speeds than the previous generation. So transferring large photos and videos is quicker than ever.

iPadOS. Work wonders with ease.
iPadOS is uniquely powerful, easy to use, and designed for the versatility of iPad. Use multiple apps at once, write in any text field with Scribble, and navigate using the power of touch.

And with amazing features in iPadOS 15, you can jot down your thoughts with Quick Note, connect with friends and family using SharePlay, and use Live Text to make a call, send an email, or look up directions with just a tap on the highlighted text in a photo.

Tons of apps. Tons of fun.
Apps from the App Store can transform iPad Air into anything from a math classroom to an animation studio. And apps that come with iPad are more capable than ever. Now with Swift Playgrounds, you can build and submit apps to the App Store right on iPad.

Apple Pencil & Magic Keyboard. Everyday Essentials.

Wide Palette Of Colors.

While Space Grey remains the same, all of the other colors have some subtle tweaks. The iPad Air 5 is available in five colors: Space Grey, Starlight, Rose Gold, Sky Blue, and Purple (which is replacing the Green of last year's model).
