This year's Apple spring conference, released a lot of digital products, not only subversive Mac products, but also a new mobile phone tablet, so this conference has also received a lot of digital enthusiasts and media attention, although the Internet has previously exposed the products of this spring conference, but the actual configuration and data there are still some differences, this chapter small M to introduce the release of the iPad Air 5.
Appearance, iPad Air 5 still uses the appearance design of the previous generation of Air 4 flat panel, the fuselage is made of all-aluminum alloy, this material effectively improves the hardness and appearance of the fuselage, although the overall design is very similar to the previous generation, but there are still some differences in some details, such as in the fuselage color, this generation of iPad Air 5 has added several colors, including starlight, pink, and purple, in addition, it also has conventional space gray and blue, However, this blue color will be deeper than the sky blue of the previous generation, and the overall appearance value is still relatively high.
In terms of screen, iPad Air 5 is equipped with a 10.9-inch screen on the front of the fuselage, the material of this screen is not mainstream OLED but LED material, although the color is not so gorgeous, but in the same environment it is more eye-catching than OLED. It is worth mentioning that the pixels of this flat LED screen are as high as 2360 x 1640 resolution, which is higher than the 2K resolution, so the display picture is clearer and more delicate. To say that the biggest failure of the iPad Air 5 in terms of screen, I am afraid that it does not support high refresh rates!
In terms of camera, the iPad Air 5 rear is still equipped with a camera, and this camera is an ultra-wide-angle lens, which can not only achieve ultra-wide-angle photo video shooting, but also support up to five times the digital zoom. Although the pixel of this lens is 12MP, Apple's optimization of the image has not disappointed, and this tablet also supports 4K 60fps video shooting, which is still very competitive in tablets. The front of the machine is still a 12MP wide-angle lens, this lens has a /2.4 aperture, facing the daily online lessons, videos and other needs of use more than enough.
Performance is the biggest advantage of the iPad Air 5, this tablet uses the M1 chip, this chip is not only used on the tablet, the Mac is also equipped with M1, so the performance of the iPad Air 5 is not worried at all. This chip is not only powerful, the heat is also very low, and the powerful performance can naturally meet the iPad Air 5 to easily face a variety of complex scenarios. Of course, if you pair it with Apple's Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil II, it's easy to edit or create a video.
In terms of battery life, the iPad Air 5 is equipped with a 28.6 watt-hour battery inside the narrow fuselage, and it can also maintain the weight of the fuselage at 462g, indicating that Apple's design in the internal space is still very reasonable. At the same time, with the blessing of a large battery, the iPad Air 5 can maintain longer operation, even in the face of more power-hungry games, it can also be easily faced. However, the charging power of the iPad Air 5 is still a short board, and it may take a long time for the 20W PD fast charge to fill the 28.6 watt-hour battery.
iPad Air 5 is not only high in appearance, the performance configuration is also very strong, especially under the blessing of the M1 chip, and its price is relatively reasonable, starting at 4399 yuan, compared with the same iPad Pro 2021 with M1 chip 1800 yuan lower, but unfortunately in order to play differentiation, this tablet is not equipped with a high refresh rate, but it is still a good choice to play games or office creation!
