iPad Air 4 Review: A 5 star triumph | Trusted Reviews

 

The iPad Air 4 is a huge jump forward for Apple's tablet, bringing down a number of previously Pro-exclusive features to a cheaper price.

Great new design;Overall a huge leap for the Air line;Better accessory support;Very fast

Odd gulf between storage options;Apple Pencil and Keyboard cases are pricey

Apple iPad Air (2020) review

 

What Hi-Fi? Awards 2021 winner. This could be the best choice of iPad for most people

Great picture and sound ; Attractive design ; Excellent user experience

Imperfect front-facing camera ; Touch ID button is awkward ; Not the cheapest tablet around

The latest iPad Air gets more than just a makeover – it’s a brilliant all-rounder and all the tablet most people could ever need

iPad Air 4 (2020) review

 

The iPad Air 4 (2020) is a powerhouse slate that makes it difficult to justify opting for the iPad Pro when this model offers so much for a lower price.

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 for 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...

Apple iPad Air (2020) review: An iPad for all seasons

 

Apple's 2020 iPad Air is a leap forward over the previous generation - and it's all to do with the evolution of the iPad Pro.

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

This iPad costs significantly less than the Pro model and, for many users, it offers significantly better value - although the price can quickly ramp up with accessories. The Air is powerful, desirable, fun and functional - it's an iPad for all seasons.

iPad Air (2020)

 

The iPad Air is a huge improvement on the 2019 variant, but it's also much more expensive.

Apple iPad Air 4th generation (2020) review

 

A bit more pro and a lot more expensive. Is this iPad Air still the iPad for everyone?

Vastly improved design ; Almost unreasonably powerful ; USB-C for charging and accessories

Speaker set-up weird in portrait ; No ProMotion ; Limited storage options

Pointing to iPad’s future rather than its past, this is a meaningful, impressive iPad Air update

Apple iPad Air 2020 (4th Gen) tablet review

  (Rating Hidden)

Apple is asking you to pay a hefty premium over the standard iPad for the iPad Air's few extra features - a larger screen, lightweight design and faster processor are the main benefits. We've put all this and m...

Apple iPad Air 2020 review: This feels like an iPad Pro lite

 

It's not the cheapest, but the new iPad Air is the best tablet for most people.

Fantastic display ; Superb performance ; Supports 2nd-generation Apple Pencil ; Works with Magic Keyboard ; Fast TouchID ; Added functionality thanks to iPadOS 14

No ProMotion display ; Disappointing battery life ; Big step up in price over basic iPad ; Accesories sold separately and pricey

iPad Air (2020) review: Not quite Pro, but the next best thing

 

Apple has made extensive changes for the iPad Air's fourth generation: new design, brand-new CPU, better camera, more options. Do the Pro models need to worry?

Attractive design ; Super-powerful processor ; Supports Pro accessories

Middling battery life ; 60Hz screen

The new Air is an excellent tablet. It's hard to make much of a case now for the iPad Pro; we'd recommend that most people in the market for a luxury tablet save their money and get this instead.

Apple iPad Air (2020) review: The iPad Pro for everyone else

 

The iPad Air is the perfect middle-ground tablet. It's vastly nicer and more capable than the base iPad, but more reasonably priced than the iPad Pro.

Excellent hardware design ; Strong battery life and USB-C ; Wonderful display ; Pro-level performance ; Magic Keyboard support ; Fast fingerprint sensor

Base 64GB of storage ; Expensive upsell to 256GB
