Should I get iPad Air 2022?
The 2022 iPad Air gives you many of the same features of the iPad Pro, including an M1 processor and second-gen Apple Pencil support, for a much more attainable price. For everyday creators and students with a tablet-focused workflow, the iPad Air is your best option, and our Editors' Choice winner.
What generation is the newest iPad Air 2022?
Apple in March 2022 updated the iPad Air with a fifth-generation model that features an M1 chip that brings it closer in design to the iPad Pro.
What is the difference between the iPad Air 2020 and 2022?
The biggest difference between the two tablets comes down to what's inside. The iPad Air 4 (2020) has an Apple A14 Bionic chip, while the iPad Air 5 (2022) has an Apple M1 chip, the same custom-designed chip used in Apple's latest Macs and in iPad Pros.
Are iPad Air 2020 and 2022 the same size?
Both are 247.6 mm in height, 178.5 mm in width and have a thickness of 6.1 mm – although the new iPad Air is ever-so-slightly heavier. Both have a 10.9-inch LED-backlit display, the same build materials and receive power via a USB-C port. The 2022 model has five colours: Space Grey, Starlight, Pink, Purple and Blue.

The Apple iPad through time: Over a decade of iPad revisited
Apple's 2022 iPad Air (A$929) is the epitome of a mobile tablet, with a nearly perfect balance of features and performance. The company's M1 chip is impressively powerful, and support for the second-generation Apple Pencil makes the new Air a better creative tool than its predecessor. While battery life could be better, it's not bad, so that's a relatively minor complaint. If you're looking for a do-it-all tablet with top-notch accessories, the 2022 iPad Air is the best choice in Apple's tablet lineup—and a better bet than any Android tablet—earning it our Editors' Choice award.
The Perfect Form
Apple currently sells five different iPads, including the A$499 iPad, the $749 iPad mini, the $929 iPad Air we're reviewing here, the $799 11-inch iPad Pro, and the $1,649 12.9-inch iPad Pro. The three to pay attention to are the $499 model (which is best for a general audience), this one (the ideal iPad for creators), and the 12.9-inch Pro (the top choice for pros).
