The iPad Air 2022 is ideal for consuming and creating content thanks to its killer combo of power, portability and battery life, and its $599 starting price is within reach for many people. 

This model is the first to get an injection of Apple silicon in the form of an M1 chip, and it delivers a performance increase that brings the iPad Air 2022 up to be almost on par with the iPad Pro.While the iPad Air still can’t replace a Pro, the difference in power is now much smaller than it once was. So if you’re eyeing a Pro but would much rather pay Air prices, odds are you can get away with just getting this iPad.

With its great screen, long battery life, solid camera and speakers and great App Store the latest iPad Air is an almost perfect tablet. This is arguably the best tablet for most people, and one of the best iPads on top of that.
