However, Apple provides a breath of freshness as it joins the iPad Air 2022 with a new processor – the M1. It is a better quality front camera and 5G connectivity.

The iPad Air from 2022 and 2020 both have a very similar design and 10.9-inch screens. The latest model has an LED display that supports Apple’s True Tone technology. The manufacturer claims that the screen has been properly calibrated for excellent color reproduction. The viewing comfort on the tablet is absolutely perfect, regardless of the lighting conditions. The tablet also supports the second generation Apple Pencil, and has the same set of USB-C ports, speakers, and TouchID scanner as on the 2020 model. We can also easily connect the Magic Keyboard. The main change in terms of appearance is mainly the new color versions of the tablet.

iPad Air 2022 – Great performance and camera

In terms of performance, the iPad Air 2022 is definitely a huge upgrade. Here we have an eight-core Apple processor based on the Arm – M1 chip. According to Apple, devices with this chip are up to 60% faster than their Bionic predecessors, and let’s add that the iPad Air from 2020 had a Bionic A14 chip.

Therefore, the latest Air version is great for almost every task. On the other hand, with things like browsing the internet, watching movies, or using social media, the difference won’t be noticeable. So if we mainly use the iPad for this, there is no need to update at the moment.

We will primarily use the features of the M1 when we want to use 4K video editing software, play 3D games, augmented reality applications, and multitask. Then the new model will be noticeably faster.

The cameras in the iPad are very high quality and ideal for video calls, for example. The rear camera is of the same quality, while the front camera now has a 12MP ultra-wide unit and uses the Apple Center Stage feature that tracks and tracks the user’s face as they move. Additionally, both iPads record video at up to 4K quality.

iPad Air 2022 – Battery Life

In terms of battery life, little has changed. Both models run about 10 hours. On a single charge, when we surf the internet on it over Wi-Fi. If we use cellular connection, this time is reduced by one hour.

Apple adds a 20W charger to the lineup, which ensures a relatively fast charging.

In addition, we have several improvements at our disposal. The first: 5G connectivity. However, it’s worth noting that this isn’t mmWave 5G, so if anything, we’d be using bands below 6GHz if only they were available in our area. Such a network would certainly be faster than 4G LTE, but it would also be more power consuming.

The second improvement is USB-C which supports external monitors with 6K output (compared to 4K of the previous model). It is difficult to say how many people will take advantage of this opportunity. The port itself transfers photos, videos, and files at up to 10 Gbit/s.

iPad Air 2022 price starts at PLN 3099 for the 64GB Wi-Fi model. We will pay PLN 3899 for the 256 GB version. If we add 5G, the prices go up to PLN 3899 (64 GB) and PLN 4699 (256 GB).
