There are some spec downsides, but these are only really apparent if you compare it head-to-head to the even pricier 12.9-inch iPad Pro, particularly the 120Hz refresh rate, known as ProMotion technology, and the ability to sign in via Face ID. For those who can afford it, it is likely to become your go-to device for video calling, reading news, browsing the internet, iOS gaming and some working while on the go. Let’s be clear: the iPad Air 5th Gen won’t replace your laptop or desktop, but the tablet is now much more than a way to watch Netflix while under the covers. Last year, Apple updated the base iPad (9th generation) and the significantly more compact iPad mini (6th generation), too. While Apple’s “What’s a computer?” iPad TV ad from a couple of years ago was widely mocked (and is still strangely irritating, to be fair), the company has continued to improve the iOS tablet experience. In 2022, with a multitude of customisable widgets, Apple Pencil 2 stylus support and the Magic Keyboard you can effectively use the tablet for work, entertainment and creative projects without suffering too many major compromises.

It’s actually pretty shocking to see how far the iPad series has come in recent years.

Stylish and powerful, the iPad Air 5th generation may be the best option for most tablet fans out of the entire 2022 Apple iPad line-up so far. It’s got that legendary Apple quality and, aside from the price point, which can get pretty high if you need the cellular model with 5G or more storage, there’s little to complain about with this latest slate. The newest Apple iPad Air blurs the lines between phone, tablet and laptop more than expected. Apple's latest 5th generation iPad Air packs the same M1 chip found in the Pro model and retains a sleek premium design.
