Apple refreshes the iPad Air with a 2022 model.
Much like the new iPhone SE, the iPad Air 2022 5G has very minimal yet substantial upgrades. The main thing that’s new here is the new Apple M1 processor, the same chip found on the iPad Pro and some MacBooks.
Apple has also upgraded the front camera, which now sharper with its 12-megapixel resolution and comes with an ultra-wide lens. The wider field-of-view compliments the Center Stage feature, which ensures you’re in the frame when you move by automatically panning the shot.
The 2022 model is also the first from the series to have 5G connectivity. The USB Type-c port was also upgraded with up to 2x faster speeds. It also lets you connect with different accessories like external drives, cameras, and even displays with up to 6K resolution.
