Introduction

Apple's latest iPad Air is a game-changer for those who demand power and portability. The 6th generation iPad Air boasts the mighty M2 chip, the same chip that powers the latest iPad Pro, making it nearly 50% faster than the previous generation iPad Air. This means you can edit videos, play graphics-intensive games, and run demanding apps with ease. Whether you're a creative professional, a student, or just someone who wants a powerful tablet that can keep up with you, the iPad Air 2024 is a great option.

The new Apple sixth-generation iPad Air is the first to come in two display sizes: 11-inch and 13-inch. The slate was unveiled with the breathtakingly thin iPad Pro at a presentation in early May. It starts at $599, much like its predecessor.

In addition to a larger screen size and the required chip change, the new iPad Air includes a redesigned front camera configuration, extra RAM, and support for the all-new Apple Pencil Pro. Like the newly redesigned MacBook Air, the iPad with the same name is distinguished by essentially undetectable but significant changes.

The fifth-generation iPad Air has been a top tablet pick of ours since its release in 2022, so I was eager to see how the sequel stacked up, particularly in 13-inch form. After a week of putting it through its paces, I can confirm that the new iPad Air remains the greatest product in its price range. I can promise you that as a personal gadget or as a present for a student or new graduate, this is an excellent choice.

Regarding the Bigger Screen

The 13-inch Liquid Retina display option is by far (and literally) the biggest hardware update to the iPad Air. With larger screen real estate, I was able to run two apps side by side with ease, greatly increasing my workflow while on the road. The larger screen also came in helpful when I needed to watch a Knicks playoff game while the big-screen TV at home was in use.

The 13-inch screen makes the slate significantly more capable of multitasking, Apple Pencil interactions, streaming content, and gaming with a wireless controller, to mention a few activities, providing an even stronger case for choosing the iPad Air over a typical laptop.

In addition to providing more possibilities overall, the iPad Air's 13-inch screen is 20% brighter than the 11-inch version's display panel. The brightness enhancement will be noticeable if you or the gift recipient use the gadget in areas with bright ambient lighting.

Familiar Design

Aside from the larger screen, the new iPad Air appears to be identical to the previous iteration. The 11-inch variant has the same design and footprint, although it is not entirely similar. Both versions of the new Air sport a new landscape front-facing camera located in the landscape bezel, as opposed to the top portrait bezel, which also housed the power button in all previous editions dating back to the original.

The newly placed front-facing camera was a game changer when I used the 13-inch iPad Air instead of my laptop with the Magic Keyboard connected. The Touch ID sensor embedded into the power button made it simple to unlock the slate in both landscape and portrait mode.

Best in class performance.

By equipping it with the M2 chip, Apple elevated the new iPad Air to the same performance level as the entry-level MacBook Air and the previous-generation iPad Pro. The semiconductor has a recognized track record of excellence, and it provides considerable improvements in processor, graphics, and Neural Engine performance over the M1 chip that drives the fifth-generation iPad Air.

The 13-inch slate's real-world speed and performance are superb, outperforming comparable priced rivals. Over the course of a few busy days, the large iPad Air served admirably as my laptop substitute. It made quick work of my multi-app habit, which includes regularly switching between a web browser with 10+ open tabs, Microsoft Outlook, Slack, Affinity Photo 2, Apple Pages, and Apple Music, among other programs.

While testing the 13-inch iPad Air, I had no issue getting through the day without needing to recharge. Using it for more leisure chores, such as online browsing, streaming video, or reading, is nearly guaranteed to garner you or the giftee more use, as long as you don't turn up the screen brightness.

Other noteworthy upgrades:

The Apple Pencil Pro is compatible with the new iPad Air, as is the smaller and more expensive iPad Pro. The extra device, which has haptic feedback, a programmable squeeze gesture, and an entirely new barrel roll input, is more capable and future-proof than the second-generation Apple Pencil. The Air also works with the under-$80 Apple Pencil with USB-C.

The new Apple Pencil Pro functions listed above are useful for taking notes and sketching in Freeform. I wish the slate was compatible with the iPad Pro's special metal-clad Magic Keyboard, which has an extra row of keys and a haptic touchpad. Nonetheless, the $299 regular version of the device met my ergonomic and tactile expectations.

Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E are welcome connectivity improvements in the new iPad Air. The 13-inch version I tried also produces a louder sound with punchier bass than the 11-inch version. During my testing, the audio experience worked flawlessly in conjunction with the larger screen.

I applaud Apple for providing the iPad Air with four memory options, ranging from 128 GB to 1 TB. Best of all, the entry-level edition now has twice as much capacity as the previous model, which only had 64 GB.

Setup essentials

The setup procedure for your iPad is simple, and it will help you get started right away after turning it on. If you are a beginner or just want to double-check the fundamentals, you have come to the right place.

.

Transfer your data and apps to the new iPad.

When you initially switch on your new iPad and start the setup process, many of the applications, settings, and material from your old iPad will be wirelessly transferred to it. Simply align the two devices closely and follow the instructions on-screen.

Establish Wi-Fi and cellular service.

To connect your iPad to your home Wi-Fi network, enable Wi-Fi in Settings -> Wi-Fi and then select your network. Your iPad will immediately connect to the internet when you come home.

You can use an eSIM to activate cellular service on an iPad that also has Wi-Fi. Alternatively, configure the nano-SIM given by your carrier.

To log in, enter your Apple ID credentials.

Users can access Apple services like iCloud, iMusic, FaceTime, and iMessage using their Apple IDs. If you don't currently have an Apple ID, you can create one.

To log in using your Apple ID on your iPad, go to Settings -> Sign in. If you have an iPad with iOS 17 or later or an iPhone with iOS 17 or later, simply place your iPad close to the other device. Otherwise, you may sign in by hand. To ensure that you are logged in, go to Settings > [your name]. Your Apple ID will be shown alongside your name.

Personalize the iPad.

The iPad may be customized to reflect your individual preferences and hobbies. Personalize your Lock Screen and Home Screen, change your privacy settings, enable accessibility features, and keep specific settings like text size and illumination easily accessible.

Customize the lock screen.

You can display a preferred image, add filters and features, and change the typeface of the time and date.

To begin, tap and hold the Lock Screen before tapping the bottom of the display. Tap one of the gallery choices to change its appearance. Once you've produced a suitable Lock Screen, click Add, then Set as Wallpaper Pair.

It is possible to add widgets to the home screen.

Widgets make it easier to access important information like the weather forecast and upcoming activities on one's calendar.

Tap and hold the image on any Home Screen page until the apps start moving, then release your finger to add the widget. After choosing a widget and swiping to the right or left to see its various sizes, press Add Widget.

Maintain communication with family and acquaintances.

The iPad makes it easier to communicate with those you care about. You and your companions can create a shared photo library, exchange and receive text messages and video chats, watch movies, and listen to music.

Start a conversation with the group.

You can send messages to a group of people with whom you want to communicate simultaneously, such as your family.

Launch the Messages app, enter the recipients' names, and then send the initial message.

Participants in a group chat may also work on papers, share movies and images, watch a movie, or listen to music.

Create a video contact.

FaceTime offers video chats with relatives and friends.

touch New FaceTime appears near the top of the FaceTime app's display; then, enter the recipient's name and touch again.

FaceTime calls can have several participants added at any moment. Participants may include family and friends. Tap the display to open the controls, then tap Add People at the top of the screen.

Personalize the workplace.

You can use the iPad's multitasking capabilities to run numerous applications concurrently and quickly switch between them. Stage Manager may also be used on iPads that support it to change the size of app windows, force them to overlap, and group them.

The iPad has the option to swap apps.

The Dock allows you to activate a second program while working in one, eliminating the need to return to the Home Screen. To open an application, swipe up from the bottom of the screen until the Dock displays, then tap the selected app.

To quickly switch between apps, slide left or right along the bottom of the screen.

Comparing two applications side by side.

A second application can be launched on the screen next to the existing one. Tap the upper-right corner of the display, then select Split View. After the Home Screen appears, choose the second application you want to open. The second application appears next to the first one.

To change the proportions of the two applications on the screen, touch and hold the app border, then move left or right.

Apply the Apple Pencil to more.

The Apple Pencil integration into your iPad allows you to draw, annotate, and edit in the apps you already use on a regular basis.

Write a brief note.

Quick Note may be used to scribble down ideas and add connections regardless of whether the application is running on an iPad. Swipe the Apple Pencil from the iPad's lower right corner to the note you want to write on.

Make use of Freeform to gather ideas.

The Freeform program offers a dynamic canvas on which you can both display and share your ideas. FaceTime allows you to plan out future projects, come up with brilliant ideas, and work on drawings with a pal. To create a board, tap and then sketch using the Apple Pencil. To capture your thoughts, you can use a highlighter, calligraphy pen, watercolor brush, or a whiteboard. Your imagination is the only limit.

Personalize an iPad for a youngster.

You may set up your child's iPad with kid-friendly tools and functions. Set limits on screen time and program usage, monitor your child's vision, prohibit them from viewing explicit images, check and approve purchases, and more. Guided Access allows you to focus your child's attention on a certain application.

Create an Apple ID for your minor.

You can prevent your youngster from accessing your personal information through a shared account by giving them their own Apple ID. If you are the family organizer, you may quickly set up age-based parental controls from your personal smartphone. They also have access to Family Sharing, Messages, App Store, and other Apple services. Tap Add Member from the Settings > Family menu, then Create Child Account.

Set restrictions on your screen time.

Screen Time allows you to restrict your child's iPad usage to specified times and applications. In the Family section of Settings, tap your child's name, then Screen Time.
