#AIR VIDEO HD REVIEW UPGRADE#
It's not enough on its own to justify an upgrade over another iPad, but it's a nice addition. Most of the time, though, it does exactly what it's meant to do. It works well much of the time, although it can occasionally get slightly confused or move in a distracting way beyond your control. The iPad Air features a new 12 MP (up from 7 MP) ultra-wide front-facing camera that now supports Center Stage, a feature that tracks you as you move around the frame.Ĭenter Stage is a nice feature on tablets mainly because it addresses some of the awkwardness of the side-aligned camera when the tablet is in landscape orientation.
Apple claims it gets up to 10 hours of battery life when surfing the web over Wi-Fi or during video playback.įurther Reading Apple is said to be working on a foldable MacBook/iPad hybrid deviceWe talked about the rear camera, which hasn't changed, but the front camera has. The tablet features a Touch ID fingerprint reader embedded in the top on/off button and stereo speakers in landscape mode, along with two microphones. The Wi-Fi model is imperceptibly lighter at 461 g. It weighs 1.02 lbs, or 462 g in the case of the cellular model. The dimensions are almost exactly the same as the 2020 model, too, at 9.74×7×0.24 inches, or 247.6×178.5×6.1 mm. The refresh rate of the iPad Air still sits at 60 Hz. It's a great screen, though it can't achieve the kind of contrasts or deep blacks you get from the OLED or Mini LED screens seen in other devices, like the largest iPad Pro. Starting at $599, the iPad Air comes in 64GB and 256GB (for $150 more) storage configurations, and it features a 10.9-inch IPS display with a resolution of 2,360×1,640 pixels. Let's start with what hasn't changed since the last model. Those two things are probably not enough to make upgrading from the 2020 model worth it, but thanks to the M1, the 2022 iPad Air is a slam dunk if you have an older iPad or another tablet and you're ready for a step up.
Apart from those changes, the new tablet is very similar to its 2020 predecessor. Further Reading iOS 15.4 and macOS 12.3 are here with Universal Control and moreThe new iPad Air refresh is mainly about two things: the M1 chip and 5G.
