The 4th-gen Air is an iPad
Pro without the more
niche features, giving it a
more premium price

AIR TO THE THRONE
pple’s ‘Air’ products tend
to be the ones targeted at
most of its buyers, giving
you high-end features but
with a few corners cut from its ‘Pro’
ranges to keep the price down. Given
that the iPad Air 2020 has many of the
Pro’s useful features, it takes that
middle ground comfortably – albeit
with a price increase of roughly 20%.
The new iPad Air is the first
non-Pro iPad to get Apple’s new tablet
design, with rounded corners,
squared edges, and a futuristic feel
overall. Even the iPhone 12 is now
following the same philosophy.
The back is a big flat piece of
aluminium, with the exception of the
camera bump. It comes in five
colours, including classic silver and
dark grey, now with rose gold, green
and blue options, which we love.
The screen has a resolution of
2360x1640, which is 264 pixels per
inch. This is easily sharp enough for
the average distance you’ll hold a
tablet from you in our experience.Processor A14 Bionic chip
