Our take on the Apple iPad Air 2022 256GB
The 2022 iPad Air is a 10.9-inch tablet built around Apple's M1 chip, the same silicon used in the MacBook Air and iPad Pro. It has a laminated Liquid Retina display, USB-C, Wi-Fi 6 and optional 5G, and it works with the second-generation Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard. It sits between the base iPad and the iPad Pro: faster than the base model and lighter than the Pro, but without the Pro's 120Hz ProMotion screen or Face ID. Reviewers call it the best all-round tablet for most people, and owners praise the speed and battery life while some wish the storage and display went further.
- M1 chip handles multitasking, games and video editing without stutter
- Laminated 10.9-inch display with wide color and True Tone
- Works with Apple Pencil (2nd gen) and Magic Keyboard
- USB-C with fast data transfer and accessory support
- All-day battery life in most reviewers' tests

What reviewers say
Reviewers rate the 2022 iPad Air as the tablet most people should buy, praising M1 performance, the screen and battery life. Owners like the light build and Pencil support, while some complain about the 60Hz display and the cost of accessories.
- PerformancePraisedOwners say the M1 keeps up with heavy multitasking, games and video editing without slowdowns.
- DisplayMixedReviewers like the color and brightness but note the 60Hz refresh rate feels less smooth than the iPad Pro.
- BatteryPraisedMost owners report a full day of mixed use and several hours of video on a charge.
Questions and answers
- Is the iPad Air 2022 still worth buying?
- Yes, for most people. The M1 chip still handles everyday apps, games and creative work well, and it runs the current iPadOS. Only buy the iPad Pro if you need a 120Hz screen or Face ID.
- How does it compare with the iPad Pro?
- The Air has the same M1-class speed and Pencil 2 support but a 60Hz screen, Touch ID instead of Face ID, and fewer speakers. The Pro adds ProMotion, better cameras and more storage options.
- Does it work with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard?
- Yes. It supports the second-generation Apple Pencil, which charges magnetically on the side, and the Magic Keyboard and Smart Keyboard Folio made for this size.
- Is 256GB enough?
- For most people, yes. It leaves room for photos, a few large games and offline video. Heavy video editors or gamers who keep many big titles installed may want more.
- Does it have 5G and a headphone jack?
- Cellular models support 5G. There is no headphone jack, so you use USB-C or Bluetooth headphones.
- What comes in the box?
- The tablet and a USB-C cable. Apple no longer includes a power adapter, so you need your own USB-C charger.
