Now featuring an all-screen design, the Space Gray 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 256GB 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.

This is my first Air, and it is just wonderful. I appreciate the larger viewing area (from my previous 9.7 iPad) and better sound. The faster processing time means this will become both a work and play tablet. I can read for longer periods of time without my hands getting tired from holding it. And I do love the Sky Blue color. One other plus is that B&H shipped it very quickly.

I decided to buy the iPad Air after getting back pain from reading with my laptop. It’s a nice machine but still too expensive for what it does along the measly 64gb storage capacity. Plus it’s made in China .

I finally traded in my 8-year-old iPad for this one. It’s perfect for watching movies at my desk but also for wirelessly tethering to my camera.

I wasn’t sure if it was time for my daughter to upgrade from iPad Air 2, but after she started using this iPad, it was like night and day. No lag, no waiting, and FAST operation, even with multiple apps open simultaneously. This device reminds me of the design of iPhone 4S. The unit feels sturdy and solid in your hands. The screen refresh rate in this model is 60Hz, not 120 like in iPad Pro, but the fast processor more than makes up for it. By the way, the screen is gorgeous 🙂 This was a good upgrade and money well spent, especially when using the PayBoo card from B&H.

This device is amazing. I needed a secondary device to my computer that i can take almost anywhere without losing too much functionality and this is just perfect. Price is a little steep, specially if you plan on buying any accesories, but if you like the iPad Pro’s design this is the one.

I upgraded to this from an old iPad 2 from however long that has been. I am thrilled with this. Funny how many things can get improved over the course of seven years! B/H delivery prompt as usual. Never disappointed.

Our new 4th generation 64GB iPad air is a great compromise between the iPad Pro and the standard iPad. It has enough storage for a family images and apps situation. It has a faster processor and is speedier than the standard iPad and the price falls in the middle ground.

Having had almost every iPad except the iPad 1, this is the best I’ve ever had. Big screen, fast Processor, nice feeling the hand. I love mine so this one went to a friend in Ecuador. thanks for the quick ship and easy time in the on-line store.

The display is phenomenal, if you are considering it, just do it. I have been an android user for years and so happy I waited for this gen before dipping into Apple iOS. The experience is wonderful! However, sidecar to macbook took some serious trouble shooting– even with the latest M1 macbook and the latest iOS on iPad, there was still a bug I had to work around. Otherwise flawless!

It’s great, but I still never use it. No complaints really. I just don’t use it like I expected to, so I guess it isn’t as life-changing as it’s touted to be.

So far so good. there have been no problems.

This is a powerhouse of a device, and for a price that’s comparable to that of a lovely mid-ranged laptop. It’s a shame they couldn’t put an OLED screen in here though. You start to get used to the crazy color contrast you get with those things. Regardless, this is one of the best devices Apple has released in the past decade, and for what I’d consider to be a fair price. (Accessories on the other hand are stupid expensive. Looks like the razor and blades tactic. Everything else you can get from a third party, you should.)

Love this new model. Spec is perfect mix of performance and cost.

The new iPad Air is sleek and features a large screen. Apps run much more quickly than on my 5-year old iPad Pro. While this is a nice tablet PC, after several days of use the the touch screen stopped working. It took several hours of research and frustration to get it working again. Except for the touch screen issue, I’m happy with my new iPad Air and hope to use it productively for many years.

This is my fourth IPad, I have owned and the best one yet! I wanted a larger screen for surfing the web, shopping and gaming and this does the job! I added the Apple Pencil which works well and I’m still thinking about adding the magic keyboard. Nothing negative to say…love Apple!
