How to pre-order the new iPad Air 5

Share

iPad Air announced with new colors.Apple

The latest announcement to come out of the March Apple release event is the upgraded iPad Air, which will now feature Apple’s powerful M1 chip, the same chip on the iPad Pro. That’s quite a considerable upgrade compared to the A14 chip it used to come with. And with the new M1 chip, it’s up to 60% more powerful. As such, the new iPad Air is a beast and should handle most tasks pretty easily, including gaming, machine learning, and productivity tasks. Besides that, it also comes with a new 12MP wide-angle camera that supports Center Stage, a nice little upgrade that is outshined by the impressive CPU upgrade, but nonetheless an excellent addition.

Other than that, it remains relatively similar to the previous iPad Air with a 10.9-inch HD Retina display that’s surprisingly powerful. There’s also 5G and a remarkably long battery life for those circumstances where you can’t easily gain access to power. It has a USB-C port, which will be appreciated by most users, and it has the same accessories that you’d expect, such as the second-gen Apple Pencil, the Apple magic keyboard, and the carrying folio.

Prices start at $599 and go up to $899 depending on the options you pick, as well as two versions to choose from: wireless and wireless + cellular. Pre-orders start on March 11, with the first shipments starting on March 18.
