Apple iPad Air 4th Gen Buyer's Guide

The 4th generation iPad Air was released in October 2020 and this release marked a notable change from the previous-generation iPad Air. The 4th generation iPad Air adopted the squared-off design from the iPad Pro lineup, and it is also available in a variety of colors. The color lineup for the 4th generation iPad Air includes green and sky blue, along with the more traditional space gray, silver, and rose gold. The display is a 10.9” Liquid Retina with True Tone, and the iPad is powered by the Apple A14 Bionic chip with Neural Engine. The charging port shifted from Lightning to USB-C, and other features include up to 256GB of storage space, a 7MP FaceTime HD camera on the front, and a 12MP wide camera with Smart HDR 3 for photos and 4k video recording at 24, 25, 30 or 60 frames-per-second on the back. The 4th generation iPad Air also added support for newer accessories such as the 2nd generation Apple Pencil, the Magic Keyboard, and Smart Keyboard Folio, and the Touch ID sensor moved from a home button on the screen to the power button.
