Apple has announced the iPad Air (2022) today at its 'Peek Performance' event.
A new iPad to replace the fantastic
iPad Air (2020), the iPad Air (2022) is said to improve upon its processor across the board, though this refresh still appears to be much more evolutionary than revolutionary. If you're looking for a new Apple tablet, the iPad Air (2022) is likely to be an excellent choice, but if you're looking for a big upgrade over the last iPad Air, you might be disappointed.
The biggest change in the iPad Air (2022) is its new 8-core M1 processor, the likes of which has been used in iPad Pro and Apple M1 Macs. The iPad Air (2020) uses Apple's A14 Bionic chip, and in comparison, Apple's M1 chip is approximately 60 percent faster. The iPad Air (2022)'s GPU is an even bigger upgrade over its predecessor, offering twice the performance.
Apple reports the iPad Air (2022) is much more powerful than its tablet competitors and even has twice the performance of much heavier, much larger Windows laptops for the same price.
