iPad Air 11-inch (2024)
Now with Apple’s M2 on board and more storage to start
> From £599 > FROM apple.com/uk > FEATURES 11-inch Liquid Retina display (2360x1640) with True Tone, Apple M2 chip, 128GB storage (256GB/512GB/1TB available), Wi-Fi 6E (aka 802.11ax Wi-Fi), Bluetooth 5.3, 1x USB-C (USB 3) port, Landscape 12MP Ultra Wide front camera, 12MP Wide rear camera, Touch ID, support for Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C)
The 12MP Ultra Wide front camera is now positioned on the landscape side which works better for video calls.
The Magic Keyboard makes the iPad Air more Mac-like, but we’d like to see macOS and iPadOS fully merge.
The addition of the M2 chip gives the iPad Air even more oomph
While the new iPad Pro packs some incredible new hardware into its super-slim innards, its high spec and high price mean it’s overkill for many – the new iPad Air, then, is the Apple tablet most of us will want. Last updated in March 2022, the new iPad Air now comes in two sizes: 11-inch and a new 13-inch, with prices starting at £599 for the former and the £799 for the latter. Both models now come with 128GB of storage to start (twice as much as before).
