The 2019 iPad Air is Apple's newest mid-to-high tier tablet, and falls just below the Pro line and just above the sixth-generation iPad, making it unexciting, but arguably the go-to tablet for the general consumer.

While the Apple iPad Air (2019) positions itself between the iPad Pro 11 and the iPad (2018) , it directly competes against the current high-end Android tablets in terms of the price.

good workmanship; very fast SoC; audio port; good IPS display; long battery life; Pencil support

only few accessories included; charger is heavy and weak; expensive accessories

The Air is back! Apple unexpectedly revived its old iPad Air branding (formally discontinued in March 2017) in a

While the iPad lineup is bountiful, it's clear that the iPad Air is meant to sit firmly in the middle of the range. Comparing base WiFI models, the iPad Air 64GB is £479, £290 cheaper than the iPad Pro 64GB, but only £160 more than the standard iPad 32GB. Given the feature set of the Air, that price makes it the most attractive iPad for most people. The Pro is significantly more expensive and the extra features are only really relevant for a small number of people. But the £160 extra over the standard iPad gets you a better and larger screen, a significant boost in power and therefore longevity, smart keyboard compatibility, and an extra 32GB of storage. If you can afford it, it's a total no-brainer.

Working on an iPad Air review has given us a serious case of deja vu for 2013, when Apple first released a tablet of that name. But despite the classic moniker, the 2019 iPad Air is a new beast… though people who saw the 10.5-inch iPad Pro from 2017 might find themselves having a second round of...

More than enough power on offer; 10.5-inch TrueTone screen is great for portable work; Thin and light; Excellent app ecosystem

Shame it's last-gen Apple Pencil; An OLED screen would be nice; Speakers a bit measly

Huge upgrade from my older generation 1 ipud and feels faster than my current iPhone XR! The additional $50 smartcover is flimsy and expensive and doesn't protect the back. Can't imagine what anyone needs out of a Pro when the Air is this smokin'.

We got this for our toddler who had a much older iPad that wasn't allowing for the newer updates to work. We hesitated due to the price and the fear our toddler might break it. We got insurance for it, screen protector, and a sturdy case that have helped ease our minds.
