The New iPad Air Uses the MacBook’s M1 Chip
If you’re thinking about getting a new tablet, you’re probably considering an iPad. Apple packed the new one with the MacBook’s M1 chip. And while the same processor is already in the iPad Pro, you’ll probably like this one’s price point a little better.
The 5th-generation Apple iPad Air starts at $600. It features a complete redesign from its predecessors and is available in five colors: gray, pink, blue, starlight, and purple. The screen on the iPad Air is a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display and powering it up is an M1 chip, just like the Macs and iPad Pro.
The front-facing camera has also been improved. It’s now a 12-MP sensor, up from 7-MP. It features Center Stage so that friends and family are always in the frame as you video chat. There’s 5G bundled in here, too, but like the iPhone SE 5G, it’s not mmWave-compatible.
