![]() ![]() You can add multiple fingers, so it's easier to share the iPad with someone (if that's your style) or make sure you have the most comfortable finger to use for regardless of which position your iPad is in. Simply rest your finger on the button to open up your iPad Air whenever you need it. Touch ID is back in the Sleep/Wake button, and it's just as speedy as ever. ![]() Same design as before, but that's not a bad thing It's light enough to carry around with ease without making your laptop bag or backpack feel heavy, but the nearly 11-inch display is big enough for work, gaming, watching movies, and more. 02 pounds to be precise - it's still that perfect blend between portability and size. Although the new iPad Air is ever so slightly heavier than the previous model. The iPad Air 5 doesn't leave you wondering if you've accidentally used a time machine to travel back in time the same way the iPad (2021) does, and the usability of the device from a physical standpoint is still top-notch. While the design remains the same, and after the significant redesign last time, that's hardly a surprise it still feels and looks modern. Just by looking at the iPad Air 5 next to an iPad Air 4, you likely wouldn't be able to tell the difference. You'll find the same rounded corners on its 10.9-inch Liquid Retina Display, the USB-C port at the bottom, two-speaker audio, Smart connector for accessories is in the same spot, and the list goes on. These are certainly factors worth considering if you plan to use an iPad as your main computing device, hooked up to various accessories.The iPad Air 5 has a lot in common with the 4th-generation model the design is the same. That being said, the iPad Air is faster, offers a speedier USB-C port, and also has extra versatility thanks to the Smart Connector. If you plan to use your iPad at home most of the time, the iPad Air will offer more screen real estate in a slightly less portable design.

IPad mini 6 is also ideally suited to keen readers with its pixel-dense display. Otherwise, the camera hardware is the same so keen iPad photographers should take note. It features a quad-LED True Tone flash on the back whereas the Air does not have an LED flash at all. If you don't need the added power of M1, the only real downside is the smaller canvas though this may actually be a boon to those that need to prioritize portability.Ĭuriously, the iPad mini 6 beats the iPad Air 5 in one very niche aspect: the LED flash. It matches up to the iPad Air 5 in some other ways, too, including 5G support, Center Stage, a 12MP rear camera, Touch ID sensor, up to 256GB of storage, and USB-C support (albeit slower). A full-size Bluetooth keyboard will probably serve you better here, anyway.ĭon't be fooled, iPad mini 6 is a pocket powerhouse. The device supports the Apple Pencil 2, making it a great portable note-taking device, though there's no Smart Connector on the back for magnetically attaching a keyboard. According to Apple, iPad mini 6 delivers a 40% jump in CPU performance and 60% graphics boost over the previous-gen iPad mini. Granted, it's now outpaced by the iPad Air 5 with M1 chip, but the A15 Bionic inside the mini is no slouch. The iPad mini 6 is a huge upgrade over the model it replaced in 2021 meaning that Apple's smallest tablet is actually pretty darn powerful. Ipad Mini 6 Review Hero (Image credit: Adam Oram / iMore)
