The third generation iPad 2019 is pretty pro

2019 iPad Air

In 2019, Apple currently sells five different iPads, at five different prices. There is the 9.7-inch iPad that sells for $ 329, the iPad mini that sells for $ 399, this new iPad Air for $ 499 and the two iPad Pro for $ 799 and $ 999 respectively . In appearance, this looks like a lot of iPad in the Apple lineup, but by 2019, now a trade as big as the Mac, Apple has an iPad for everyone.

The mini address is for those who prefer a smaller and more compact device. The 917 inch iPad 2018 is the economical alternative meant for the education market. The iPad pros are targeting those who want to get the most out of their tablet. This leaves the iPad Air right in the middle.

This ground of understanding sometimes means that it may seem disappointing and, in some areas, behind. This is in fact no less a capable device, however. With solid specifications, it will probably work – and should be – from the tablet to which gravitate most.

Specifications

Retina Air Screen 2019 for iPad

This iPad now features a 10.5-inch Retina display with a wide P3 color gamut, a built-in A12 Bionic processor – which is also found in Apple's flagship smartphone, the 39; iPhone XS and XS Max – and also supports the first generation of Apple Pencil. and the smart keyboard.

The A12 processor of the iPad Air 2019 is ridiculously fast. It goes well with iOS 12 – and soon with iOS 13. In the last two weeks of using the device, we have never seen the iPad Air scramble a bit . Everything is so simple and works perfectly.

2019 iPad Air playing at Fortnite

The game, as we saw with the new iPad mini 2019, was great. Titles like 'Fortnite & # 39; went well, even at a faster speed of 60 frames per second with images lost rarely erroneous.

The pair of speakers for stereo are decent. They are not bragging, but they are certainly much stronger than any other tablet that we have used this year, apart from the Apple Pro range. There are only two speakers instead of four on the Pro line, which means that when you hold the tablet, it's easy enough to accidentally cover the speaker while limiting the audio output.

The overall software experience on the new iPad Air has also been very good. We have not encountered any bug or blocking application. It's still an iPad that uses the same old iOS that we're used to in recent years, so we have nothing special here.

We hope that the next WWDC will see something extraordinary from Apple with iOS 13 that can visually remake this experience. This is certainly due.

2019 iPad Air with Apple Pencil

The Pencil holder is an interesting addition that many people will appreciate. Unfortunately, the screen does not have Apple's ProMotion technology, which offers you a refresh rate of 120 Hz for a smoother experience. Lower refresh rates mean that eagle-eyed artists will notice that it is slightly jittery when using the Apple pencil. Unless your drawing is really special, you will not notice this difference. Those who are serious will probably prefer the iPad Pro and the second generation Apple Pencil, but to take notes and work less painfully, there is no problem to find here.

The smart connector is also new here, it is meant to be used with Apple's own smart keyboard, which in our opinion is the best keyboard you can buy for the iPad. The keyboard is a little stiff and pasty at the same time, but once you use it for a long time, it starts to wear and soften to the point of making each typing pleasant. There are already hundreds of Bluetooth keyboards on the market, but we strongly recommend the Smart Keyboard.

2019 Smart Keyboard for iPad Air

It is unfortunate that we still have no additional accessories to use the smart connector. When Apple first started out, third parties would enjoy it. Years later, we saw only two or three other people actually test the waters, leaving the connector mainly to the Apple utility.

2019 iPad Air

The iPad Air exists because it offers Apple the opportunity to serve a group of different people who use an iPad for various reasons. Some may want a smaller iPad that they can easily pack in their bag or small tablet to give to their child so that they can take the iPad mini. Some people want the most basic and affordable iPad, which is why they opt for the 9.7 inch iPad.

This exists because it gives Apple the right average option between the low-end iPad and the high-end Pro models, and that's why it's here. The new iPad Air gives you a big screen of 10.5 inches brilliant and in the faithful colors. It supports Apple Pencil, Smart Keyboard, and has the same A12 Bionic fast processor as its $ 1,000 smartphone. You benefit from all this for only $ 499, at the same price as that offered by the original iPad nine years ago. pretty impressive.

Again, this is a case where the AppleInsider The audience varies a lot in relation to the target market. No promotion is a potential problem, as is the need for the original Apple pencil, compared to the new iPad Pro's new range. But, all things considered, overall, the new iPad Air is a solid 4/5, a bit higher for most iPad users, and a bit lower for the "prosumer" market.
