How Apple has improved the iPad Air in 2024. And more importantly, for whom?

In May, Apple unveiled the new iPad Air on the advanced M2 chip, and in two sizes at once: 11 and 13 inches. The device became even more versatile, more powerful and more adapted to the use of AI. What other improvements have appeared and is it worth buying iPad Air M2 for their sake? We tell you about the main features and understand for what tasks they will be useful.

For the first time in 13-inch

The iPad Air has a 13-inch version for the first time. Its dimensions are 214.90×280.6 mm and its weight is 617 g. The larger screen gives you more space for playing games, working with documents and media files. In the past, if you wanted a larger screen, you had to choose the Pro version.

The iPad Air 11" 2024 is 30% more compact than the 13" model - 178.5×247.6 mm and weighs 462 g. It's a great choice if you need maximum compactness while maintaining functionality. For example, when traveling.

Otherwise, the design and hardware of both tablets are identical. Thin body (6.1 mm) made of recycled aluminum - Apple cares about the environment, 4 colors: Space gray, blue, purple and Starlight.

Bright and comfortable screen

The Liquid Retina display is good at everything:

Brightness - 600 nits (not all laptops and tablets of other brands reach 400). You can watch videos outdoors or at the porthole window on a sunny day.

The refresh rate of the screen is 60 Hz: the change of frames will be smooth.

With a resolution of 2360×1640 pixels on the 11-inch model and 2732×2048 on the 13-inch model, a sharp picture is assured.

The P3's wide color gamut makes images bright and juicy.

Anti-reflective coating is responsible for the visibility of the picture in all conditions, and True Tone technology adapts the temperature of the screen to the lighting.

Colorful, vibrant, detailed and smoothly changing images are important for comfortable working, consuming and creating visual content.

Powerful M2 chip and neural cores for AI

With a faster CPU (8 cores), GPU (9 cores) and 16 Neural Engine neural cores, the new Apple iPad Air M2 has even more performance and better unlocks the power of AI.

Core ML's advanced technology integrates machine learning and AI into applications. Quickly cut out backgrounds in Visual Look Up, extract text from a photo with Live Text, and enhance a photo in Photomator with a single click - no problem. Now your tablet understands you even better.

iPadOS 17 and memory

Advanced iPadOS 17 includes many tools for organizing your workflow: Stage Manager for working with multiple apps, autofill PDFs, display interactive activities and widgets on the lock screen, and more. Once you get started, you'll realize that Apple developers seem to have anticipated your every need.

The base configuration offers as much as 128GB of storage, but you can also opt for 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of storage.

Improved cameras and sound

The 12MP front camera is now on the long side of the display. This is useful for video calls when the tablet is held horizontally. The Center Stage feature adjusts the camera so that you stay in the center of the frame.

The 12MP main camera captures high-resolution photos and 4K videos at 240fps in slow-mo mode to see fast movements in all their glory. And they weren't blurry while doing so.

Need to sign papers fast? Scan a form with the back camera, fill it out using Apple Pencil, and email it to yourself. No printer or envelope needed.

A pair of studio-quality microphones work in sync with the cameras when taking pictures and making calls, suppressing background noise.

The stereo speakers with Spatial Audio provide high-definition spatial sound. Listening to music and watching movies is a pleasure.

Ultrafast Wi-Fi

Supports the latest Wi-Fi 6E standard - 1.5 times faster than 5G. Downloading files, watching and uploading videos, online gaming, video calls - all this is now even more comfortable, better, faster.

For those on the go, Apple offers connectivity via mobile -- in a Wi-Fi + Cellular model with 5G support. It uses an eSIM, an alternative to a physical SIM card.

Expand the capabilities of your iPad

iPad Air M2 supports the 2nd generation Apple Pencil and the new Pencil Pro for drawing, photo retouching, and note-taking, as well as a wireless Magic Keyboard case for typing. All of these are available for purchase at iSpace.

The stylus in the Pro version can now be rotated and squeezed to change tools or call up menus. The manufacturers added tactile response of the gadget (vibrates when pressed), the ability to search using the "Locator".

The slim and lightweight Magic Keyboard case turns your tablet into a PC, making it easy to work with email, text, spreadsheets and media files.

The most stable version of Bluetooth - 5.3 - is used for wireless connection of external devices. You can also connect an external storage device, docking station or monitor via the universal USB-C connector.

Who will the iPad Air of 2024 suit?

Large (especially in the 13-inch version), bright screen for interaction with applications and content display, advanced "iron", progressive iPadOS, tools with AI, high-quality camera and sound - all this in total gives a powerful tablet for creative and office work, study and entertainment.

The new M2-powered iPad Air lets you process photos, create graphics, edit video, play top games, not to mention office programs. Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard expand the device's potential. Fast Internet, excellent battery life (10 hours of video and web surfing) and compactness make it the ideal portable work tool in the digital age and a leisure companion.

The device will come in handy for a designer, architect, video blogger, journalist, photographer, student - and in general anyone who consumes or creates content and values mobility.
