Apple’s foldable iPad could arrive next year
Color preferences aside, the 2022 Air is one of the most versatile tablets Apple has on the market. Mashable senior editor Stan Schroeder called this iPad “Apple’s sweet spot for tablets” in his review, and how its feature-to-cost ratio is “for both his casual users and professionals.” I’m listing what I’m good at.
These features include the powerful M1 chip (the same one previously found only in the iPad Pro), 8GB of RAM, and a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display. In short, it’s a high-performance tablet that can handle most multitasking without any problem running games or editing software. For comparison, the 2022 iPad(opens in new window)(opens in new tab)It will launch in late 2022 compared to the Air’s early 2022, comes with an A15 chip and is only $50 cheaper than the Air.
The biggest downside is the 64GB of starting storage, but with nearly $100 off, it’s easy to use. Totally casual users may want to think before buying, but for those looking for a little extra power and good value for money, this deal on the iPad Air can’t be beat.
