The physical dimension is similar to the 11-inch iPad Pro but the bezels are slightly thicker since it's a 10.9-inch vs 11-inch display in the same body. Actually it looks similar to the iPad Pros with the flat sides. Things includedĭesign of the iPad Air 5 looks good. The refurbished section on Apple's website is only available in selected countries. Refurbished models could be returned units from customers during the return period, or could be repaired units. That's unless you want to get a specific colour that only exists with the iPad Air 5, or you urgently need a tablet but there's no stocks for the refurbished models. I do not recommend the iPad Air 5 when the refurbished 11-inch iPad Pro (2020) is available. Heck, it doesn't even matter if the iPad Air 5 is using M100 processor because the drawing performance is similar. The M1 processor and 8GB RAM may be substantial upgrades over the iPad Pro 2020, but they don't make any difference when it comes to drawing performance, except you can create more layers in Procreate, e.g. The refurbished 11-inch iPad Pro 2020 is also called 11-inch iPad Pro (2nd generation) and can be identified by the square module camera. It's clear that the refurbished 11-inch iPad Pro 2020 provides more value for your money as you can get more storage capacity, 120Hz refresh rate and the 4-way speakers. The refurbished 11-inch iPad Pro 2020 with 256GB storage is even cheaper than the iPad Air 5. The refurbished 11-inch M1 iPad Pro 2020 with 128GB and 256GB storage are US $609, $689. If you upgrade to the 256GB model, it's US $749. The base model US $599 iPad Air 5 with 64GB is tight on storage capacity. The iPad Air 5 is a good tablet but it's not worth the money when compared to the refurbished 11-inch M1 iPad Pro (2021). This review is not complete without comparing the iPad Air 5 to other options. Prices for models with 64GB and 256GB storage capacity are US $599 and $749 respectively.īelow's the table comparing the iPad Air 5 with the 11-inch iPad Pros from 20. The tablet is available in five colours: Space Gray, Pink, Purple, Blue and Starlight.
The processor has been upgraded from A14 to M1, the same processor found in the M1 iPad Pro (2021) ( review), Macbook Air 2020, 13-inch Macbook Pro 2020 and Mac Mini 2020. The iPad Air 5 was launched in March 2022 and has several upgrades to the previous iPad Air 4 ( review) from 2020.
It's a good tablet but there are options that provide better value for your money
