Apple presents this new iPad Air as an opportunity for users to access the technologies of the iPad Pro at a more affordable price. With the iPad Air (2024) it is finally possible to take advantage of the large 13-inch screen, ideal for video and streaming, and the M2 processor, a little stronger, with Wi-Fi 6E connection, 5G, not forgetting compatibility with the very successful Apple Pencil Pro.
The iPad Air (2024) still treads water compared to the previous generation. The LED display, stuck at 60Hz, pales in comparison to the competition, which no longer hesitates to offer 120Hz OLEDs on top-of-the-line machines. The increase in power, really on paper, is little appreciated in general public use, with iPadOS still too limited and stagnant autonomy. Perhaps even worse: the entry price at which this iPad is offered remains very high.
If your use of the tablet is limited to web browsing and entertainment, you’ll benefit from the best possible experience and a screen that invites you to spend hours in front of your favorite programs and apps. Ultimately, the iPad Air (2024) is indeed a more affordable iPad Pro, but also an iPad XXL. This new model does almost nothing more than a basic iPad. He just does it so much better.
