Apple iPad Air (5th generation) review: Spec-tock-ular
Apple’s strategy of slapping powerful chips into affordable hardware isn’t a new one, but it’s really kicked it up a notch with the iPad Air (5th generation). Adding laptop-tier silicon to the iPad Pro line was one thing, but a beefy M1 processor in Apple’s lightweight, sub-flagship tablet surely makes it a no-brainer, right? The iPad Air 5 debuted at Apple’s Peek Performance event on March 8, 2022, alongside the iPhone SE (2022) and the Mac Studio. If the previous iPad Air was a long-overdue “tick,” this is definitively the inevitable “tock” model.
It’s a smidgen heavier (1-2g depending on the model) and the color options have changed, but the size, ports/buttons, display, rear camera, and speakers are all identical to the iPad Air (4th generation) — check out our in-depth look at the iPad Air 4 for more on those features, as we’ll be skipping over some of the familiar stuff in this review. It’s also compatible with the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) and the Magic Keyboard case, as well as other existing iPad Air accessories. The game-changing M1 chipset should require no introduction at this point, but the trickle-down effect of Apple’s silicon strategy means that the 2022 iPad Air — just like the iPad Pro (5th generation) before it — packs MacBook-caliber power, albeit with some subtle architecture tweaks. The iPad Air (5th generation) color options are Space Gray, Pink, Purple, Blue, and Starlight.
All of the good stuff from the iPad Air (4th generation) applies here: the quality construction from glass and recycled aluminum, reasonably-sized bezels that give you just enough room to grip it without obscuring the edges of the display, and Touch ID for biometrics.
The fingerprint reader is baked into the power button, and while the two-step unlock (rest finger and push down) is cumbersome, it’s rapid and accurate. The iPad Air (5th generation) has a USB-C port for external storage access and accessory support. It’s a solid little shooter, delivering pleasing color accuracy and enough detail in decent lighting, though it struggles in dim conditions.
What’s perhaps more exciting is the addition of Center Stage — another “Pro” feature trickling down that follows faces around the room, zooming and panning to keep them in shot. The iPad Air handily dealt with intensive games like Genshin Impact, with the frame rate hovering around the 50-55 mark on average at max settings.
Benchmarks only cement how much of a beast this thing is, with numbers that trounce the Tab S8 series’ Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 implementation and handily best Windows hybrids too.
The chip’s efficiency is a boon for battery life, though the iPad Air (5th generation) largely sticks to the ~10-hour mark we saw on its predecessor when drained from 100% to zero.
Apple also snuck faster charging into the latest model, though the included charger only hits 20W of power. If you’ve got a 30W USB PD PPS charger, you can refill from empty to full in just over two hours as opposed to two and a half.
iPadOS still awkwardly straddles the line between iOS and macOS, landing much closer to its walled-off, mobile roots than the more open Mac software platform, but for all its quirks (seriously, why aren’t the widgets interactive?) Yes, you could stick within those means if you only use a few apps and are fastidious with your iCloud management (or by regularly plugging in an external drive), but the point is you shouldn’t have to.
128GB is the standard for any other tablet maker operating in this price bracket, and there’s no excuse for Apple not to have solved a problem that was already well overdue a fix with the previous generation iPad Air. It might be running at Goku-esque power levels, but the lagging animations mean it doesn’t look or feel as smooth as it should when flitting between apps and navigating the UI. The Magic Keyboard ($299) and Apple Pencil (2nd generation) ($129) really unlock the iPad Air’s potential, but you’re looking at an extra $400+ being taken out of your bank account. Center Stage is one of the fifth-gen iPad Air’s key upgrades, but it’s not unique (the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 series has an identical feature), and Apple’s insistence on placing the front camera on the portrait bezel still makes it look like you’re staring off into space during video calls.
Apple’s software support is guaranteed to keep it fresh and stable, but it’s the overkill M1 chip and healthy supply of RAM that ensures it’s future-proofed for many, many years to come. Sure, it didn’t have an M1 chip, but the A14 Bionic was already far ahead of the pack in 2020, and remains competitive with the very best mobile silicon today. Meanwhile, the same gripes we had with the 4th generation Air are all present and accounted for, and the grumbles over the 64GB base storage and 60Hz refresh rate have only gotten louder with the passage of time.
Likewise, if you only want to stream movies and play a handful of games, the base model is a steal, and its screen, design, and feature set are enough of a bump over the regular iPad to justify the extra spend. But even with all that bleeding edge raw power, the iPad Air (5th gen) feels oddly outdated at times — a tablet that received a massive boost in an area it already excelled in, while neglecting its legacy flaws. The iPad Air is still possibly the easiest product to recommend from Apple’s entire, behemoth ecosystem. If you can live with or work around the paltry storage, the price differences between the base models (either Wi-Fi or cellular) will save you a nice chunk of change. Sure, you’re getting half the storage with the Pro compared to the maxed-out Air, but 128GB is a nice sweet spot.
The Galaxy Tab S8 gets closer than ever to challenging Apple’s tablet dominance with faster charging, but it’s hampered by Android’s poor optimization for larger screens, not-so-stellar battery life, and is eons behind on raw performance. The iPad Air (5th generation) is still uncontested as the best sub-flagship tablet you can buy, and possibly the easiest product to recommend from Apple’s entire, behemoth ecosystem.
iPad (5th generation)
Its introductory price in the United States was the lowest ever for an iPad, with the media noting that the lower price might be an effort to encourage wider adoption of the tablet in the education sector, as well as for businesses needing inexpensive tablets for undemanding uses. Matt Kapko of CIO wrote that Apple’s introductory pricing of $329 in the United States for the iPad, a $70 price reduction versus the iPad Air 2, appeared to be designed to fend off the encroachment of Google’s Chromebook laptops in the education sector and to foster wider adoption in customer-facing terminals.
Kapko also wrote that the device is designed to appeal to businesses that require inexpensive tablets for undemanding use, including as kiosks, checkout terminals, and hospitality screens. The fifth generation iPad shares most design elements with the iPad Air, with a 9.7-inch (25 cm) screen,[1] 7.5mm thickness,[16][6] and differences such as the lack of the physical mute switch, smaller microphone holes and only a single row of speaker holes.
[12] Despite its use of the Apple A9 processor and accompanying M9 motion co-processor, introduced with the iPhone 6S in 2015, the iPad does not feature support for always-on “Hey Siri” voice input, a feature advertised as being made possible by low-power processing in the then-new chips. At the time of its original release, the iPad shipped with iOS 10, a version of Apple’s mobile operating system. Touch ID and Apple Pay let the user purchase items from websites or from within apps. Dieter Bohn of The Verge wrote that “it is a thin, fast tablet”, and praised the screen for being “very good”, despite not having “the fancy True Tone display that the iPad Pro does, nor does it have some of the things that made the screen on the iPad Air 2 so nice: lamination and anti-reflectivity”.
Segan also praised performance compared to the prior iPad models, and also praised improved Wi-Fi performance, writing that it is “quite impressive” with “double the Wi-Fi speeds on the new iPad than I did on the Air 2”.
[26] Jeff Benjamin of 9to5Mac wrote that “Sure, it lacks the gorgeous laminated, anti-reflective display of the iPad Air 2, and sure it’s not as svelte in either thickness or weight. But then it’s not supposed to be exciting, […] Apple’s latest tablet is an iterative update designed to appeal to a specific subset of consumers”. [28] Chris Velazco of Engadget praised battery life, describing it as “one of the best iPads we’ve tested”, but also criticized the lack of anti-reflection on the display, calling it “another cost-saving measure that I wish Apple had reconsidered”.
