Apple held its annual event on Tuesday, but without the usual new iPhone announcements. Instead, the event focused on other hardware, including Apple watches and iPads. Tomorrow Apple will release iOS14, iPadOS, and watchOS7.
One of the highlights of the event was the new iPad Air, which was significantly updated and now looks like the iPad Pro. Apple resurrected the iPad Air last year as a mid-price option between the regular iPad and the more expensive iPad Pro. . The latest version comes with Apple’s latest bionic chip, plus new colors and a revamped Touch ID.
The new iPad Air falls between the iPad Pro and the iPad Air in price and size.
It comes in five colors: Silver, Space Gray, Rose Gold, Green, and Sky Blue.
It still has Touch ID, although it works slightly differently.
Apple moved the sensor to the top button, replacing the need for a home button.
It has an edge-to-edge full screen layout on the 10.9-inch liquid retina display.
Several journalists have already noted the great resemblance of the new iPad Air to the iPad Pro.
Apple announced that the new iPad Air will have USB-C, joining the iPad Pro as the only Apple products that don’t use Lightning.
It will run on the A14 Bionic chip, which Apple calls its most advanced chip to date. It can execute up to 11 trillion operations per second.
It has a 12 MP camera and a 7 MP FaceTime HD camera with improved low light performance.
It will be compatible with Apple Pencil, Magic Keyboard and Smart Keyboard Folio.
Apple said the new iPad Air will be available in October, without a more specific release date.
