Now featuring an all-screen design, the Sky Blue Apple iPad Air has a 10.9″ Liquid Retina Display with a 2360 x 1640 resolution at 264 pixels per inch (ppi). The Liquid Retina Display still has all the features you expect, such as P3 wide color gamut coverage, True Tone, anti-reflective and fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coatings, 500 nits of brightness, and support for the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil (sold separately). The screen isn’t the only thing that got improved. The iPad Air now houses the A14 Bionic chip, providing the performance boost you need to handle 4K video editing, play immersive games, and more. There is also 64GB of storage capacity.
The iPad Air now features a 12MP rear camera, the same one found on the iPad Pro. The rear camera can be used to capture high-res photos and 4K videos. The iPad Air also has a 7MP FaceTime HD camera as well as stereo speakers when in landscape mode. For connectivity, the iPad Air features dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.0. You still get Touch ID with the iPad Air. It is now integrated into the top button. Touch ID uses your fingerprint to provide a safe and secure way to unlock your iPad Air as well as log into apps and use Apple Pay. Apple has replaced the Lightning connector with a USB Type-C port on the iPad Air, allowing for additional features and broader compatibility with other devices.
This iPad Air comes preloaded with iOS. Please check your device settings for the latest available update.

If you are on the fence and thinking whether or not to upgrade from an older iPad, I would strongly recommend to upgrade. Switching to this iPad from an iPad 5 was pure joy: beautifully fast processor, gorgeous screen, fast battery charging, and an attractive new design. I have nothing but good things to say about this iPad. Life’s too short to wait for a slow CPU. Buy it. You will like it. I can almost guarantee it 🙂

Bigger screen, better screen, faster, it’s a wonderful device. Minus – earphones, earbuds are not included. There is no way to plug in older apple earbuds. The power connector is new, so old chargers don’t work. How about more continuity Apple?

My wife got this after her really old iPad’s screen cracked into dozens of pieces falling on the floor. This 4th gen looks and feels great. We were especially pleased with B&H shipping. Apple was backed up 10 days or more; B&H got it to us day after next – 2 days.

It seems like with every generation of iPad Air Apple takes small steps in the right direction of manufacturing the perfect tablet.

Coming from a 2017 iPad Pro 10.9. This iPad Air a good book reader and email checker. I needed a lot more from it, especially the flash light feature. I have poor vision and depend on the flash light to give me the extra light I need at times to walk about in the evenings around the house. Or to fix things that are in shadows. The other thing I didn’t like was no physical home button. I truly miss that. The virtual home button feature is a godsend but it gets often in the way of what I need to do onscreen so I am continuously relocating it. I cant use Siri because I can’t talk so I depend on the home button for navigation. Then there was the USB-C port for charging. Had to buy adaptors and new charging cords because my lightning ones don’t fit. I ended up giving it to my husband as a replacement for his 2014 iPad. He uses it to read and play solitaire in bed before dozing off. He too is annoyed by the lack of a physical Home button. My elderly neighbor got the exact same model to replace her 2015 ipad and she absolutely loves it. It’s a great device at a good price if you don’t need the features of an iPad or iPad Pro. Hers is paired with her iWatch and she uses her iPad Air to track her blood glucose and other health issues.

I was looking to upgrade to the latest iPad Mini but since it is not being released for a while, I decided to go with the latest iPad Air since I was having issues with my older mini. While I like the smaller size of the mini, I am adjusting well to the Air. It is much faster and I shouldn’t have to worry about running out of memory any time soon. It hasn’t taken long to get used to the lack of a home button, the new swipe patterns and the touch ID. Overall I am pleased with the upgrade.

I buy this iPad replacing my iPad 7 gen, Just something to surf the web and social media on and play the occasional game. The speakers on this thing are INCREDIBLE. So loud and full of depth, it’s great to stream music off of. Recommend this for the regular user, and with it’s new A14 Bionic processor, this thing can handle some serious multitasking for you. If you’re could not buy an iPad Pro, I recommend you consider this as an option instead, unless video editing is something you’re planning to do constantly. This iPad It has served me well so far.

I recently purchased some equipment from B&H and was amazed at the efficiency of the transaction. The sales staff was amazing and the ease of the transaction was outstanding. I would recommend B&H.

I have a MAC, but this iPad has basically replaced my daily use of a desktop. I live in the Apps, doing emails, social sites, shopping, play music, watch videos. The power of the new chips means everything I do is snappy. I can have multiple apps open, multiple tabs in a browser open, and it all works effortlessly. The productivity on the iPad is incredible compared to the Android tablets. You can do actual work, the same as you were doing on a desktop computer. Battery life is good at a day between charges, and I’m actively using it all day.

I called B&H immediately when my Apple iPad Air arrived. It came just in time before Christmas. Two days before Christmas I told our granddaughter that we will not be able to Facetime with you because the iPad that I ordered would not arrived till after Christmas. Our granddaughter ws so disappointed. On Christmas day and wife and I were able to Facetime with our granddaughter. She was so overjoyed to see us that see started crying. You guys came through for us and we will never forget that you did for us. We are so appreciative.

Upgraded from iPad Air 2nd Gen that was showing it’s age. Migration process needs improvement. Most stuff carried over but process got hung up when it came to previously installed Apps and Photos. Had to reinstall Apps individually, transfer Photos through cable and reorganize Photo Albums because they didn’t transfer. Setbacks aside, I’m excited to work with this iPad going forward.

A noticeable upgrade from my older Air2. All the features I needed.

The IPad arrived a day earlier than anticipated, always a good thing. It started and downloaded all apps and files from the older iPad we replaced. It is another marvel to join the Apple ecosphere of an I watch, iPhone, Mac, Apple TV, and the apple apps. Great stuff.

This has to be the best iPad that I’ve ever had compared to my old one which is slow. The processer
