Product Information

Grade A: Refurbished item in Very Good condition, with some slight blemishes but, overall, close to pristine. See full details for more information. Essentially, what this means is that the iPad Air is just as good a laptop replacement as its more powerful siblings. If you can find the software to replace your Mac/Windows apps in the App Store, it’s a great do-it-all machine and it eats 4K video-editing tasks for breakfast. If that sounds reasonable, bear in mind that to turn the iPad Air into the ultraportable, do-it-all laptop it deserves to be, you need to budget extra for a keyboard case and, if you want an official Apple keyboard, you’re going to have to be prepared to fork out a fair amount. The display has rounded corners. When measured diagonally as a rectangle, the iPad Air screen is 10.86 inches. Actual viewable area is less.

Subject to availability. Although the iPad Air still has the same size 9.7in screen as used in all full-size iPads since the original, the reduction in the size of the case means that it looks bigger. That’s no bad thing, as the screen is the most important thing about a tablet.

Two years ago, I dubbed the Apple iPad Air (2022)’s predecessor an “iPad Pro in all but name”, and it’s a comment I still stand by today. At the time, there wasn’t much to separate the iPad Air from the smallest 11in iPad Pro; it did much the same stuff, with only a few inconsequential features missing.

Your Perfect Travel Companion If you don’t mind missing out on the Pro’s 120Hz display, its Face ID camera and its slightly superior audio system, the iPad Air delivers a very similar overall experience and performance for a lot less cash. Good (Grade B): A few signs of wear-and-tear show that it’s clearly seen a fair bit of use, but overall it’s in good shape. There might be a few surface marks, but it’s still aesthetically sound. Functionality isn’t affected in the slightest, though - everything works perfectly!

Gyroscopic Sensor, Accelerometer / G-Sensor, Barometer, Ambient Light Sensor / Light Sensor, Finger Print Sensor, Digital compass I’ve seen others wondering where the iPad Air 5 (2022) fits into the iPad range, especially since the iPad Pro 11in is so similar and more capable. I think, however, that it’s more appropriate to flip that question and ask what the point of the smaller iPad Pro is, now that the Air has inherited its M1 processor. Grade B: Refurbished item in Good condition, with a few visible signs of wear-and-tear but, overall, in good shape. See full details for more information. With the Apple M1 chip inside, the performance of the iPad Air (2022) is significantly better than the previous model across both graphics and productivity tasks. I’m yet to receive the Tab S8 in for review, so can’t yet put up comparison benchmarks but, based on results we’ve seen from other Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 devices, I don’t expect the speeds to overhaul those of the iPad Air (2022).

Very Good (Grade A): Very well looked after and, as such, close to pristine. You might notice some slight blemishes on close inspection but, by and large, the product is in great condition. Functionality isn’t affected in the slightest, though - everything works perfectly! Apple has kept the same 2,048×1,536 Retina resolution, originally introduced with the iPad 3. Although this is no longer the pinnacle of screen resolution, with some Android competition hitting 2,560×1,600 or even 4K resolutions, it’s almost to the point where that doesn’t matter. On a screen this size, held at an average tablet viewing distance, it’s tough to spot any differences in day-to-day use. As Apple says regarding its Retina buzzword, it’s a resolution at which you can no longer see the individual pixels. As a result, everything looks incredibly sharp and detailed. Sometimes all you need is a chip upgrade - Apple's 2022 refresh to their iPad Air lineup brings the much-discussed and celebrated Apple M1 SoC that brings a wealth of performance improvements all around that puts this new Air nearly at the same level of speed as their superior offering from the previous year, the Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (2021). The new chip is so good, in fact, that the 2022 iPad Air even stays relatively competitive when compared against the other M1-based Macs such as the 2021 MacBook Pro and the 2020 Mac Mini. On top of that, it also comes with the 5G support for an additional price. No Major Design Changes Still, if you need the performance, there’s loads on tap here. Below is a selection of benchmark results, all of which show the iPad Air 5 ahead of both its predecessor and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 by a significant margin. It’s also not far behind the M1 12.9in iPad Pro and the M1 Mac mini. Two years on and it’s very much the same story, except that the latest iteration – the 5th generation iPad Air – is arguably closer in specifications and capabilities to the 11in iPad Pro than ever before.Although the processing power has been massively improved by around 60%, the battery maintains its respectable 9-10 hours of runtime on a full charge. This, of course, is primarily with daily tasks, and more demanding apps such as games and streaming services might reduce this by a few hours. The sound quality, also, has not changed much since the 2020 model. The tablet creates an atmospheric soundscape with its true stereo speakers and is fully compatible with the AirPods 3, the AirPods Max and the AirPods Pro 2. iPad Air (2022)
