The iPad Air is decidedly the mid-range option in the Apple tablet catalog. It’s a step up from the iPad and iPad mini in offering Pro-level performance through its use of Apple Silicon, but it’s not quite at the level of the iPad Pro range itself.
Apple’s last change to the iPad Air was in March 2022, meaning there has been a two-year gap between the fifth and sixth generations.
