With a 9.7-inch display, it was really thin and light, weighing only 469 grams – over 25% lighter than its respective predecessor, the iPad 4.</p> <div id="div-gpt-ad-author-ad-707308" class="rd3431ae69 rd60c79e15" data-author="seth-guide" data-post-id="707308" data-unit="/1049447/Author" data-placement="content"></div><p>When the iPad Air 2 was announced, a year later in 2014, Apple could deliver a thinner and faster tablet than its predecessor, weighing only 437 grams. The second-generation iPad was sold until March of 2017. Although it was a great tablet, Apple was focusing on the regular model and the Pro at the time.</p> <p>Surprisingly in 2019, the company introduced the third-generation iPad Air, this time with a 10.5-inch Retina display, support for the first-generation Apple Pencil, and an upgraded Apple A12 Bionic chip.</p> <p>With the fourth-generation iPad Air being introduced in October of 2020, Apple finally gave this iPad a fresh look, with a bezel-less design, and a five-color option, while being the first product with the A14 chip and integrating the Touch ID sensor on the Side Button. This iPad generation also lacks the headphone jack and supports the second-generation Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard, previously exclusive to the iPad Pro line.</p> <p>In March of 2022, Apple unveiled its fifth-generation iPad Air. This tablet got new color options, the M1 chip from the iPad Pro and new Macs, as well as a faster USB-C port. The iPad Air 5 is the latest tablet from Apple to add Center Stage support and, alongside the iPad Pro and iPad mini, it finally brings 5G to its Cellular version. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ipad-air-specs">iPad Air Specs</h2> <figure class="wp-block-image alignwide size-large"><img width="2510" height="1408" src="https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2022/03/Screen-Shot-2022-03-08-at-1.16.21-PM.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1000" alt="iPad Air 5" class="wp-image-791310" /></figure> <p>The fifth-generation iPad Air has a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, with a bezel-less design. This iPad comes in five different colors: Space Gray, Pink, Purple, Blue, and Starlight. With the M1 chip, this tablet gets closer to the iPad Pro in power performance.</p> <p>As it did with the previous model, Apple moved the Touch ID from the Home Button to the Side Button. Still, this tablet doesn’t feature a ProMotion display or camera flash.</p> <p>Talking about the camera, it has a 12MP sensor, with ƒ/1.8 aperture, Smart HDR support, 1080p 30fps video recording, video stabilization, and more. The front camera has been revamped with an Ultra-Wide lens with 12MP that supports the Center Stage feature.</p> <p>This iPad comes with 64GB or 256GB storage options and Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + Cellular versions. The fifth-generation iPad Air also has support for the second-generation Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-accessories-magic-keyboard-and-second-generation-apple-pencil">Accessories: Magic Keyboard and second-generation Apple Pencil</h2> <figure class="wp-block-image wp-block-image--obfuscated"><img src="https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/client-mu-plugins/9to5-core/includes/obfuscate-images/images/9to5mac-default.jpg" alt="Site default logo image" loading="lazy" /></figure> <p id="h-this-is-the-first-ipad-aside-from-the-third-generation-ipad-pro-or-newer-to-receive-magic-keyboard-and-second-generation-apple-pencil-support-these-two-accessories-help-this-tablet-feel-more-pro-than-the-ipad-mini-or-even-the-base-model-ipad">Following along with its previous model, the iPad Air 5 works with Magic Keyboard and second-generation Apple Pencil. These two accessories help this tablet feel more “Pro” than the iPad mini or even the base model iPad.</p> <p>The Magic Keyboard is available in black and white and features a great typing experience, a trackpad that opens up new ways to work with iPadOS, a USB‑C port for pass-through charging, and front and back protection. The Magic Keyboard has a floating cantilever design, allowing you to attach the iPad Air magnetically and smoothly adjust it to the perfect viewing angle for you.</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Comfortable backlit keys and a scissor mechanism with 1 mm travel for quiet, responsive typing.</li><li>Designed for Multi‑Touch gestures and the cursor in iPadOS.</li><li>Smooth angle adjustability delivers the perfect viewing angle.</li><li>USB-C port for charging iPad Pro and iPad Air, freeing up the port on the iPad for other accessories.</li><li>Folds into a case to provide front and back protection.</li></ul> <p>The second-generation Apple Pencil delivers pixel-perfect precision and industry-leading low latency, making it great for drawing, sketching, coloring, taking notes, marking up PDFs, and more. It features a flat edge that attaches magnetically for automatic charging and pairing on the iPad Air.</p> <p>The Magic Keyboard costs $299 but you can find it at a lower price at the <a href="https://amzn.to/3oNExvo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amazon store here</a>. The Apple Pencil (2nd gen) costs $129 but you can find it at a lower price at the <a href="https://amzn.to/3oLR1n9" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amazon store here</a>.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ipados-15-features">iPadOS 15 features</h2> <figure class="wp-block-image wp-block-image--obfuscated"><img src="https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/client-mu-plugins/9to5-core/includes/obfuscate-images/images/9to5mac-default.jpg" alt="Site default logo image" loading="lazy" /></figure> <p>The fifth-generation iPad Air features iPadOS 15. Previewed during the WWDC21 keynote, the operating system brings a redesigned Home Screen with widgets and App Library support.</p> <p>On iPadOS 15, FaceTime group calls can finally appear in a grid, so it’s easier to see everyone. It’s also possible to share your screen, listen to Apple Music songs together, or watch Apple TV+, HBO Max, Disney+, and others while in a call.</p> <p>In the productivity section, Apple, unfortunately, didn’t bring all the features pro users wanted to take full advantage of their new M1 iPad Pro, even though Apple made it easier to rely on multitasking features.</p> <p>There’s a new multitasking menu on the top of the screen. When you click there, it’s possible to see what configurations you can use on Split View or just go to Slide Over with just a tap.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image wp-block-image--obfuscated"><img src="https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/client-mu-plugins/9to5-core/includes/obfuscate-images/images/9to5mac-default.jpg" alt="Site default logo image" loading="lazy" /></figure> <p>The experience with an external keyboard allows users to get more done with all-new keyboard shortcuts and a redesign of the menu bar.</p> <p>With Universal Control, which will later be available on the Mac, it’ll be possible to arrange the devices together and use the same mouse and keyboard on multiple Apple devices.</p> <p>With the Quick Note feature, users can use the Apple Pencil to add a quick note. They just need to slide the pencil through the bottom right corner to the center of the screen and start writing.</p> <p><a href="https://9to5mac.com/guides/ipados-15/">Learn more about iOS 15 here</a>.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ipados-15-1-features">iPadOS 15.1 features</h3> <figure class="wp-block-image wp-block-image--obfuscated"><img src="https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/client-mu-plugins/9to5-core/includes/obfuscate-images/images/9to5mac-default.jpg" alt="Site default logo image" loading="lazy" /></figure> <p>One month after releasing iPadOS 15, <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2021/10/26/ios-15-1-now-available-heres-why-you-should-update/">Apple released iPadOS 15.1</a> More notable, the company finally brought SharePlay support for the iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.

This update foregoes new features in favor of under-the-hood bug fixes and improvements. One of the most notable changes here is a fix for a Safari vulnerability that may have been leaking your browsing history and Google ID data to the websites you visited.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ipados-15-4-features">iPadOS 15.4 features</h3> <figure class="wp-block-image alignwide size-large"><img width="1920" height="1077" src="https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2022/01/iOS-15.4-Beta-1-Universal-Control-02.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1000" alt="" class="wp-image-784302" /></figure> <p>iPadOS 15.4 finally brings one of the most important features expected from iPadOS 15 and that got delayed: Universal Control.

I still think anyone looking to get a new iPad for school and productivity would probably be better off with an iPad Pro, especially if you’re going to get the pencil and the keyboard. An Air 4 with a keyboard and pencil is about $200 less than what it would be for a Pro with the keyboard and pencil. And so you must decide whether the extra features you get with the iPad Pro are worth the extra $200. If not, then the Air 4 is a great steal.</p></blockquote> <p>As soon as we review the newest iPad Air 5, we’ll update this section.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-deals">Deals</h2> <p>Over at <em>9to5Toys</em>, you can find the best deals on the <a href="https://9to5toys.com/guides/apple/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">iPad Air</a> and other Apple products.
