Our take on the 2022 Apple iPad Air (WiFi + Cellular)
The 2022 iPad Air is Apple's mid-range tablet, built around the M1 chip that also powers the iPad Pro and MacBook Air. It has a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, works with the second-generation Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard, and adds 5G cellular so it stays online away from Wi-Fi. It sits between the base iPad and the iPad Pro: faster than the base model, lighter and cheaper than the Pro, but without the Pro's ProMotion 120Hz screen or Face ID. Reviewers call it the sweet spot of the lineup for most people.
- M1 chip handles editing, drawing and multitasking smoothly
- Cellular with 5G keeps it connected without a hotspot
- Works with Apple Pencil 2 and Magic Keyboard
- Light at about 1 pound and thin at 6.1 mm
- Touch ID in the top button is quick and reliable

What reviewers say
Reviewers and owners rate the M1 iPad Air as the best value in Apple's tablet lineup. They praise its speed, light weight and accessory support, and most say the 60Hz screen and Touch ID are the main compromises.
- PerformancePraisedOwners say the M1 chip keeps apps, games and multitasking smooth with no slowdown.
- DisplayMixedThe screen is sharp and bright, but reviewers note the 60Hz refresh rate lacks the smoothness of the iPad Pro.
- PortabilityPraisedBuyers like how light and thin it is, making it easy to carry and hold one-handed.
Questions and answers
- Is the M1 iPad Air worth it over the base iPad?
- Yes for most people who want more speed, a laminated screen and support for the Apple Pencil 2 and Magic Keyboard. The base iPad is enough for simple browsing and streaming.
- How does it compare with the iPad Pro?
- The Air has the same M1 chip but a 60Hz screen, Touch ID instead of Face ID, and fewer speakers. The Pro adds ProMotion and more storage options.
- Does it work with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard?
- Yes. It supports the second-generation Apple Pencil, which attaches magnetically to charge, and the Magic Keyboard made for the 10.9-inch Air.
- Do I need a separate cellular plan?
- Yes. The cellular model takes a nano-SIM or eSIM and needs a data plan from a carrier; it also works on Wi-Fi alone.
- What is in the box?
- The iPad Air, a USB-C charging cable and a power adapter. The Pencil and keyboard are sold separately.
- Is 64GB enough?
- For browsing, streaming and light note-taking, yes. If you store lots of photos, games or offline video, choose a larger capacity.
