Apple’s long-running tablet range is yet to put a foot wrong when it comes to picture performance, and the latest Air continues that trend. The main benefit of the 13in Air is the option of a larger screen without having to cough up for a pricey iPad Pro.
The bigger display is an ideal canvas for movie watching. There’s no escaping that this is a sizeable handheld device, and yet the slender frame (just 6.1mm thick), ensures it doesn’t become unwieldy.
The 13in Liquid Retina display features a resolution of 2732 x 2048, a pixel density of 264ppi, and support for all the main HDR formats. Dolby Atmos is supported via the built-in stereo speakers, as well as over wired and wireless headphones. Apple’s Spatial Audio system is also accessible to those with AirPods and Beats headphones, and Bluetooth audio is via the AAC codec.
