Our take on the Apple iPad Air 10.9" M1, WiFi + Cellular, 256GB, 5th Generation
The 2022 iPad Air (5th generation) puts Apple's desktop-class M1 chip into a 10.9-inch tablet, the same silicon used in the iPad Pro and MacBook Air. It has a 2360 x 1640 Liquid Retina display with P3 wide color, True Tone and 500 nits, plus USB-C, Wi-Fi 6 and optional 5G. It sits between the base iPad and the iPad Pro: faster than the iPad 10 but without the Pro's ProMotion screen, Face ID or Thunderbolt. Reviewers call it the sweet spot of the lineup for students, artists and anyone who wants near-laptop power in a light tablet.
- M1 chip handles 4K video editing and heavy apps
- Bright, color-accurate 10.9-inch display with True Tone
- Works with Apple Pencil (2nd gen) and Magic Keyboard
- USB-C, Wi-Fi 6 and 5G give fast, flexible connectivity
- Light and thin for its screen size

What reviewers say
- 4.5 / 5266 ratings

- DisplayMixedReviewers like the brightness and color but note the 60Hz refresh rate feels slower than ProMotion.
Questions and answers
- Is the M1 iPad Air worth it over the iPad 10?
- Yes if you want more power, a laminated anti-reflective screen and Apple Pencil 2 support. The base iPad is enough for browsing and video.
- How does it compare with the iPad Pro 11?
- The Air has the same M1 chip and similar size but loses ProMotion, Face ID, Thunderbolt and the brighter mini-LED option on the 12.9-inch Pro.
- Does it work with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard?
- It supports Apple Pencil (2nd generation), which attaches magnetically to charge, and the Magic Keyboard for iPad Air. Both are sold separately.
- Is the cellular version worth it?
- Get it if you work or travel away from Wi-Fi often. Otherwise the Wi-Fi model plus a phone hotspot covers most people.
- How much battery life should I expect?
- Apple rates up to 10 hours of web browsing or video on Wi-Fi, and most owners report a full day of mixed use.
- What is in the box?
- The iPad, a USB-C charge cable and a 20W USB-C power adapter. No Pencil or keyboard is included.
