iPad Air 4
AppleInsider is supported by its audience and may earn commission as an Amazon Associate and affiliate partner on qualifying purchases. The case appears to be the same size as the 11-inch iPad Pro, but the bezels are slightly thicker due to display technology differences. It is capped at 60Hz like previous generations, but most users may not notice unless they come from the iPad Pro or use the Apple Pencil extensively. It also has full lamination, p3 wide color, True Tone, and an anti-reflective coating.
The laminated display means that content appears close to the screen, so it feels more natural when writing with the Pencil. With the move to a nearly edgeless display, it was inevitable the iPad Air would need to transition from the old home-button Touch ID sensor. The Touch ID sensor sits on the top-right edge of the device while in portrait mode. The smaller sensor is just as accurate and secure as the original Touch ID, and Apple claims it was a feat of engineering to get it to work within the top button. The updated model moves to an A14 Bionic processor, the same chip that powers the iPhone 12.
USB-C support allows the new tablet to connect a wider variety of external desktop accessories, such as drives, displays, cameras, and multi-port adapters. The versatile USB-C allows users to carry fewer cables and easily move accessories between devices. Available in green, sky blue, rose gold, silver, and space gray color variants
The tablet has an edge-to-edge display but lacks ProMotion, which gives the iPad Pro a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. ProMotion allows for more responsive Apple Pencil drawing, low latency, and a variable refresh rate for smoother content viewing and lower power consumption. USB-C is a more versatile connection, opening the door to many desktop and power-user accessories. The screen goes nearly edge-to-edge with a Liquid Retina display, complete with curved corners.
It feels much quicker than its previous generation, and we managed to zip around the UI and our favorite apps without issue. So the device has fewer functional cores than the 2018 iPad Pro, but it makes up for it with a faster clock speed. It will suffer slightly on multi-core intensive tasks, such as editing massive 40MP RAW photos or exporting a Dolby Vision HDR movie in iMovie. It isn’t as expensive as the iPad Pro line, but it has a newer processor and supports the much-improved second-generation Apple Pencil.
If you’re looking to connect flash drives or other external storage, this is the cheapest iPad with that feature. Its A12X Bionic processor still wins in multi-core performance and graphics power over this model.
Depending on your use-case, it may be more worth it to lose those features and a tiny bit of performance for those extra benefits.”

The iPad Air features a 10.9-inch edge-to-edge display with a 2360×1640 resolution, 3.8 million pixels, and a design that’s similar to the iPad Pro with an aluminum chassis that has flat, rounded edges that wrap around the fully laminated display. True Tone support is included for adjusting the display to match the ambient lighting, as is P3 wide color, 500 nits brightness, and 1.8 percent reflectivity. The M1 chip features an 8-core CPU and an 8-core GPU, along with 8GB RAM and a 16-core Neural Engine.
The iPad Air ships with a 20W USB-C adapter for charging purposes.

[6] iOS 7 introduced a major aesthetic redesign of the operating system, departing from skeuomorphic elements such as green felt in Game Center, wood in Newsstand, and leather in Calendar, in favor of flat, colorful design. Jonathan Ive, the designer of iOS 7’s new elements, described the update as “bringing order to complexity”, highlighting features such as refined typography, new icons, translucency, layering, physics, and gyroscope-driven parallaxing as some of the major changes.
It can act as a hotspot with some carriers, sharing its Internet connection over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or USB, and also access the Apple App Store, a digital application distribution platform for iOS.
[8] The iPad Air can optionally sync content and other data with a Mac or Windows computer using iTunes.
[10] Apple also began giving away its iLife (iPhoto, iMovie, Garageband) and iWork (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) apps with the device. In June 2019, Apple announced that it would drop support for the iPad Air with the release of iPadOS 13 in September 2019.
[15] The new front-facing camera is capable of video in 720p HD, includes face detection, and backside illumination. The A7 present in the iPad Air is slightly different however, in that it does not use a PoP design which stacks the RAM on top of the SoC. [18] It also features a metal heat spreader to compensate for the slightly faster clock speed and to provide better thermal management. Apple also sells a “camera connection kit” with an SD card reader, but it can only be used to transfer photos and videos. Apple’s ability to handle many different bands in one device allowed it to offer, for the first time, a single iPad variant which supports all the cellular bands and technologies deployed by all the major North American wireless providers at the time of the device’s introduction. The audio playback of the iPad Air is in stereo with two speakers located on either side of the Lightning connector.
Shimpi further states that the Air “hits a balance of features, design and ergonomics that I don’t think we’ve ever seen in the iPad. “[22] UK Editor-in-Chief of TechRadar, Patrick Goss, gave the iPad Air a positive review, giving praise to the A7 chip and camera upgrades, as well as the crisp and colorful display.
He concludes by stating: “It’s hard to put into words how much Apple has improved the iPad, offering a stunning level of detail and power with a build quality that’s unrivalled. “[23] Christina Bonnington of Wired awarded the Air a rating of 8 out of 10, calling the performance “outstanding” and noting that high-definition video streams and gaming animations are “smooth and stutter free.”
[24] Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Wozniak criticized the focus on decreasing size and weight rather than increasing storage space and stated that he did not want an iPad Air as it did not fit his personal needs. [25][26] Dave Smith of the International Business Times wrote that while the device was nice, it did not bring anything new to the iPad. Smith strongly criticized the lack of a fingerprint reader, and noted that the updates, such as the increased speed and the decreased size and weight, were only slight improvements.
iPad Air (4th generation)
It is available in five colors: Space Gray, Silver, Rose Gold, Green, and Sky Blue. There are 11.9 billion transistors inside of the Apple A14 Bionic SoC, which allows for higher efficiency in terms of both power and performance.
The display is laminated and has an anti-reflective coating, as well as featuring wide color and True Tone. The port is capable of transferring up to 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s), allowing for fast connections to cameras and external storage, as well as support for monitors with up to 4K resolution.
Apple’s fourth-generation iPad Air has drawn criticism for being more expensive than its predecessor. In general, though, the iPad Air 4 has been widely praised by consumers and tech reviewers alike, with Henry T. Casey of Tom’s Guide saying it is “the best tablet for most people” and “one of the best iPads ever,”[12] and with James Peckham of TechRadar calling it “a phenomenally well-made tablet.
“[13] PCMag.com included the iPad Air (4th generation) in its Best Tech Products of the Year list in 2020 and awarded it their Editors’ Choice for high-end tablets.
