No stereo sound in portrait mode
Camera could be better

Unimpressive battery life
IPadOS still doesn't multitask as well as Mac/Windows
No battery life improvement

Difficult decision between iPad Air 4
2018 iPad Pro

Touch ID on the power button takes some getting used to
IOS ecosystem means you don't get Stadia
XCloud and more
64GB isn't enough base storage
Cellular and higher storage upgrades are expensive
IPadOS still has some multi-tasking foibles
Still no Face ID
Only two speakers
The cost adds up with accessories meant to make it a laptop replacement
Summary
The new iPad Air might feel like a minor update from last year's model
But it's improved enough that its features and specs are now mos

Attractive design, Super-powerful processor, Supports Pro accessories
Middling battery life, 60Hz screen
The iPad Air (2020) is a significant step forward - especially compared to its direct predecessor, which is just over a year old.The gap between the Air and Pro models is shrinking, but remains noticeable in certain areas. Still, if you're thinking about...
Vastly improved design, Almost unreasonably powerful, USB-C for charging and accessories
Speaker set-up weird in portrait, No ProMotion, Limited storage options
We started this review by saying last year's iPad Air was the best iPad for most people. The fourth-generation iPad Air makes an even stronger argument. Sure, it's more expensive and, yes, the weird audio output in portrait is a pity. But the mix of refi...

Sleek design in great colours,Detailed screen,So fast and slick,Apple Pencil 2 support,Impressive spatial audio,
Mediocre cameras, No 120Hz or OLED screen, Screen only medium brightness, Notable price jump from previous version,
The iPad Air (2020) offers a great screen, supremely powerful processor, premium design and great Apple Pencil support… it's simply excellent. It's a shame the price has crept up, but it's still the tablet to beat.Reasons to buy+Sleek design in great colo...

All-screen design, Lots of power, Adventurous color choices
64GB storage is limited, Higher price than last-gen, Selfie camera could be better
The iPad Air 2020 is a phenomenally well-made tablet that improves upon the last-gen version in a variety of ways, solving issues with that tablet's dated design and accessories. The jump in price will make this a tougher sell for some, but the iPad Air f...

Excellent performance,USB-C forward-looking,Touch ID button works well,Trackpad support means true laptop replacement,Variety of colours
Lack of Face ID can annoy,No 128GB option,Accessories expensive,No rear camera flash
We're calling it now - unless you want the higher storage, ProMotion higher refresh, or dual cameras, you're just as well getting the iPad Air as the iPad Pro 11. The iPad Air has so much to offer and belies its position in the range. Aside from the rapid...
The two iPads are unusually similar; the iPad Pro is only the higher quality device in a few areas. However, we suspect that Apple will update the iPad Pro soon and that this will create a stronger distinction. In every way that matters the iPad Air trump...

New design, Touch ID integrated with power button, A14 Bionic processor
Higher entry price, no Face ID
The lines have been drawn a little clearer this year, with Apple clearly separating the iPad and iPad Air stables. If you want a straightforward device for watching Netflix, playing games, surfing the web, converting into a makeshift laptop or using as a...

Awkward speaker placement, Mini has higher pixel density,
It might not instantly appear so, but the iPad Air is the pick of the current iPad range. It is more affordable than the Pros and only a little more expensive than the much smaller Mini, and while it does command a fair premium over the entry-level iPad...
