Apple IPad Air, 16GB, Wifi, 9.7 in LCD (White with Silver) (Renewed)

Product Information

As we’ve come to expect from Apple, the iPad Air is made from a single piece of aluminium, with a glass front. Available in Space Grey and White to match the colours of the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, alongside its successor (which barely changes in terms of outward appearances) is the best-looking tablet around. More than that, it also feels extremely tough and durable thanks to its metal construction, giving it a major advantage over the countless plastic Android tablets also vying for your cash.

Good (Grade B): A few signs of wear-and-tear show that it’s clearly seen a fair bit of use, but overall it’s in good shape. There might be a few surface marks, but it’s still aesthetically sound. Functionality isn’t affected in the slightest, though - everything works perfectly! Two years ago, I dubbed the Apple iPad Air (2022)’s predecessor an “iPad Pro in all but name”, and it’s a comment I still stand by today. At the time, there wasn’t much to separate the iPad Air from the smallest 11in iPad Pro; it did much the same stuff, with only a few inconsequential features missing. Grade C: Refurbished item in Acceptable condition, with clear signs of consistent long-term use.

Restrictions and other terms apply. The displays have rounded corners. When measured diagonally as a rectangle, the iPad Pro 12.9‑inch screen is 12.9 inches, the iPad Pro 11‑inch screen is 11 inches, the iPad Air and iPad (10th generation) screens are 10.86 inches, and the iPad mini screen is 8.3 inches. Actual viewable area is less. The one issue I have is that the 64GB base storage is rather mean. It won’t take long to fill that up, especially if you’re a gamer or work with large files, so I’d recommend upgrading to the 128GB model if you can afford it.

Two years on and it’s very much the same story, except that the latest iteration – the 5th generation iPad Air – is arguably closer in specifications and capabilities to the 11in iPad Pro than ever before. With the Apple M1 chip inside, the performance of the iPad Air (2022) is significantly better than the previous model across both graphics and productivity tasks. That’s the big change, but look hard and you’ll see that there are other updates. There’s a natty new Blue colour (pictured), to add to the Space Grey, Pink, Purple and Starlight (white) options you had before. This looks lovely, although if you’re sensible, you’ll be covering it with a folio or keyboard case anyway. Although the processing power has been massively improved by around 60%, the battery maintains its respectable 9-10 hours of runtime on a full charge. This, of course, is primarily with daily tasks, and more demanding apps such as games and streaming services might reduce this by a few hours. The sound quality, also, has not changed much since the 2020 model. The tablet creates an atmospheric soundscape with its true stereo speakers and is fully compatible with the AirPods 3, the AirPods Max and the AirPods Pro 2. iPad Air (2022) Essentially, what this means is that the iPad Air is just as good a laptop replacement as its more powerful siblings. If you can find the software to replace your Mac/Windows apps in the App Store, it’s a great do-it-all machine and it eats 4K video-editing tasks for breakfast.

See full details for more information.I’ve seen others wondering where the iPad Air 5 (2022) fits into the iPad range, especially since the iPad Pro 11in is so similar and more capable. I think, however, that it’s more appropriate to flip that question and ask what the point of the smaller iPad Pro is, now that the Air has inherited its M1 processor.
