Apple iPad Air 13-inch (2024) – Bigger, faster, and the best bet for your big-tablet dreams

Apple iPad Air 13 inch puts the big screen within reach

Huge screen ; Formidable power ; Excellent battery life

No longer the lightest iPad ; No wireless charging ; No camera updates

If you’re looking for big-screen iPad fun but your budget doesn’t stretch to Apple’s latest wall-busting Pro tablets, the iPad Air 13-inch (2024) has you covered. It’s an attractive and very portable slab that’s ready for just about anything. Artists...

Hands on: iPad Air 13-inch (2024): You no longer need to go Pro

Pro-level features and an expansive screen size

13-inch is very expansive ; M2 chip provides plenty of power ; Front-facing camera is now in the right spot

No major design changes ; No FaceID here, just TouchID ; No ProMotion display

There is a lot to like with Apple's pair of new iPad Airs, especially the larger 13-inch that simply provides more room to get work done, play in a virtual world, or even stream content. Both are shaping up to be powerful tablets that can easily handle...

Apple’s new iPad Air now comes in a larger 13-inch model with a landscape camera

It's a refresh to the iPad Air, packing in performance upgrades thanks to M2, and other refinements across the board .

Apple iPad Air (M2) review: Sandwiched in the middle

In my review of the last-generation iPad Air, I called it the iPad most people should buy. Is that still true for the newest version? #apple #ipadair #m2

Excellent performance ; Nice expansive display ; Repositioned front-facing camera ; Supports Apple Pencil Pro ; More storage as standard ; Good battery life

Display capped at 60Hz ; No Face ID ; Pricey ; Accessories sold separately ; Accessories are expensive ; iPadOS quirks and limitations

The TL;DR version: It's a great tablet, but I'd recommend it only if you need a 13-inch iPad on the cheap or if you use an Apple Pencil often. Most people will probably be better off with the basic iPad. You can find the iPad Air on Amazon , Lazada ,...

Apple Ipad Air M2 2024

Apple's lightweight tablet comes equipped with a faster processor, but it's the bigger screen that steals the spotlight.

M2 chip offers a performance boost. Front-facing camera moved to landscape mode. Bigger, brighter display. Double the base storage. 5G connectivity. Supports Apple Pencil Pro.

Heavier than the iPad Pro. Expensive with accessories. Not compatible with the new Magic Keyboard Case. Battery life remains the same. iPadOS continues to feel limiting and frustrating.

Apple iPad Air (M2, 2024) review: new junior iPad is no slouch

The most powerful iPad Air yet is here – and it's chomping at the heels of the iPad Pro now.

Cheaper option ; Powerful M2 chip ; Great new folio case functionality ; Supports Apple Pencil Pro

Doesn't have the iPad Pro power ; No nano-glass option

For non-artists, the new iPad Air (M2, 2024) is the sweet spot for you between cost and functionality. Powerful enough and not as eye-watering on the price front. Lots of bells and whistles including the features that come with the new iPad Pencil Pro....

Apple iPad Air 2024 Review: Productivity Leap

With various upgrades, Apple is making the iPad Air 2024 a better laptop alternative. In the nextpit test, you can see how good the tablet is.

Great price-performance level (in the basic model) ; Great display despite technical compromises ; Finally support for the Magic Keyboard ; Good endurance despite a larger display

Not compatible with older Apple Pencils with magnetic charging ; Display and memory upgrade very expensive ; iPadOS still cumbersome to work with ; USB-C port without Thunderbolt

The basic version of the iPad Air 2024 is currently the Apple device with the best price-performance ratio. The M2 is so well integrated into the 11-inch Air with 128 GB of storage space at a price of $599 that it surpasses the performance of the...

iPad Air 2024 hands-on review: A literal big deal

M2 power and a 13-inch model make the iPad Air enticing

Familiar elegant design ; Landscape webcam ; New 13-inch model ; Fast M2 chip

No OLED option ; No Face ID

The iPad Air 2024 might appear indistinguishable from its predecessor but the inclusion of an M2 chip, a landscape-oriented front camera and a 13-inch model could make it the best in the Air lineup.
