    What isn’t to like about this iPad? Easy set up, crystal clear picture while streaming, and easy to use. Was pleased and surprised that the newer iPads still have Touch ID and that a caps lock button has been added to the keyboard! I received this as a gift, and couldn’t be happier! Only problem was I accidentally ordered it in purple, but I’m actually starting to get used to it and you don’t see too much of the color with the case on it, and the purple is so light, you can barely tell that it is purple!

    For a few weeks, I've been using the iPad Air for school, and it has been useful in studying. Because of its sleek operation and compatibility with the Apple Pencil, it is useful for taking notes. But I've noticed two problems. First off, the battery doesn't last as long as I had hoped; instead of the 10 hours promised, it typically lasts around 6-7 hours. Second, it can become uncomfortable when it gets a little warm after prolonged use. Despite these flaws, it has been a helpful tool for school, and I look forward to using it more in the future

    iPad Air 5 review and Comparison

    I bought the iPad Air 5 to upgrade from the iPad Pro 10.5, but it was not a good idea. I am a college student and let me tell you why I didn’t like it. The battery life of this iPad after using split screen with good notes and safari went down about 50% within 3 hours. I watched some YouTube videos and this model had the worst battery life of them all. I noticed and researched that the screen near the bottom heated up faster and hotter than other models with the new processor while using indoors. The Touch ID worked when it wanted. I took multiple Scans of my whole finger and used with dry/clean hands, but it still didn’t work every other time I tried to use it. The speed of loading web pages was just about equal when I compared the two. Things I did like was the new modern design, Touch ID power button when working, and color. Pros outweighed cons for me, so I returned and got a refurbished iPad Pro that I’m much happier with. You could also consider the 4th gen iPad Air 4! Hope this helps :)

    I love the specs on it and the speed. The only thing is that the camera has no Flash. And I bought this for my daughter who turned 13 and she uses it for her short story videos that she creates using a multiple of apps. So she uses the camera alot. But as you can see below it still takes great pictures. I plan to purchase a pen in the near future because It compliments the IPAD with the magnet feature to sit on the iPad and charge.

    I bought this as an open-box/refurbished item and it looked good as new with a full battery and a steep discount. I didn't want nor need a brand new iPad generation so I'm glad this was available, feels as fast as the newest generation IMO. As for the purchase itself, I bought online for in-store pickup. The staff allowed me to test the unit before I left and was very helpful

    Paired with a cheap "ipad baby" looking case from amazon, this thing is super durable. My main usage is for running backtracks at live shows- so it gets dropped, thrown, stuffed into bags with other gear, and covered in sweat regularly. Over a year of this abuse and not only is it still going strong on that front, the battery life is actually insane. Charged to 100% before a show, thrown into a bag after said show at around 85%, forgotten in said bag for over a week, was still at over 70% at the next show. Fair warning, facetiming on this will either make you feel like someone's grandma or someone's toddler.

    The M1 chip really makes this iPad quite fast. The 10.9 inch screen size is perfect and the screen is very bright and vibrant. I really wish this iPad had four speakers, because this is where the difference in sound quality and audio immersiveness becomes very noticeable between the iPad Air and the iPad Pro. Overall it is a great purchase, and it will receive software updates for many years to come.
