Apple hasn’t done much to change the way its newest iPad Air looks and feels. That’s no bad thing because there’s little to fault its design. The 100% recycled aluminium body has flat sides that many love and it feels solid and every bit like a premium device should. It’s also thin, compact, and light. The only change in terms of design is colours. There are still five colours to choose from – Space Grey, Starlight, Purple, Pink, Blue – but the hues have been updated.
The 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display is unchanged. So we have a resolution of 2360 x 1640 pixels, P3 wide colour support, and True Tone technology. I know many were hoping for a ProMotion display but Apple is reserving that for its “Pro” iPads.
And as for features, the new iPad Air also supports Apple’s second-generation Apple Pencil, Smart Connector to use with the Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad and the Smart Keyboard Folio. The rear-facing camera is also the same 12-megapixel unit with an f/1.8 aperture and Smart HDR 3 technology.
One of the few major updates is the front-facing camera. It’s now a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera unit with a 122° field of view that supports Apple’s Centre Stage feature. That said, like its predecessor, there’s still no Face ID. Instead, there’s Apple’s good old Touch ID integrated into the top button.
