How the new iPad Air 5 (2022) differs from the old iPad Air 4 (2020)

Features of iPad Air 5 and iPad Air 4

Apple has already managed to please its fans with some of its new products. So the spring started with the presentation of the iPad Air 5. Although externally it is difficult to call the device original, but the functionality will also impress. Incredible performance, fantastic front-facing camera, the colours of the casing interested even those who do not belong to the fans of “Apple” products.

Visuals

The design of the iPad Air 5 is the same as that of its predecessor iPad Air 4. The difference is present only in the choice of colour design. A wide range of 5 unique colours provides the ability to choose the option that will suit most to the taste of the user.

In terms of dimensions, the fifth generation device is identical to the fourth generation device. In fact, it has exactly the same body. Thanks to this, the new tablet can be used with accessories suitable for the previous model. There is a slight difference in weight. The version with only Wi-Fi is 3 grams heavier. The model with Wi-Fi and Cellular is lighter by 2 grams.

Visual differences between iPad Air 5 and iPad Air 4

Screen and processor specifications

The new iPad Air 5 (2022) has a screen diagonal of 10.9 inches. It is characterized by a resolution of 2360 x 1640 and brightness of 500 nits. A plus is the presence of support for True Tone. At the same time this version lacks 120 Hz, and ProMotion technology is also not observed. Similar properties endowed the Pro version, which will cost more.

The main difference between the fifth generation and the fourth is the Apple M1 processor system, which operates in conjunction with 8GB of RAM. Internal storage provides a base 64GB, while the more expensive version includes 256GB, as is typically the case with Apple tech. The iPad Air 4 ran with 4GB of RAM and was powered by Apple’s A14 Bionic processor.

The improved “stuffing” ensures that the tablet can be exploited to the max. So you can install games with more power, while leaving a lot of tabs open. In addition, image processing will be smooth and fast. Users who work with graphics editors and exploit the tablet to the max will appreciate this.

More benefits

Unlike the iPad Air 5 Pro, the base model in the lineup doesn’t get Thunderbolt. Even so, you can transfer data at decent speeds via USB-C. What’s more, compared to its predecessor, the figure has doubled.

The runtime is the same, as is the layout of the stereo speakers. There is support for 5G, which is now a much sought-after feature. You can connect to top-of-the-range keyboards if you wish.

The front camera is characterised by 12MP. There is a tool to centre who is currently broadcasting in the frame. Distinctive colour reproduction, accurate details and lines and a ‘live’ image are what users of the upcoming iPad Air 5 (2022) will get, unlike those who still intend to use their iPad Air 4 (2020) with a 7 megapixel front-facing camera.
