Apple iPad Air 3 (2019)

The new iPad Air with support for Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard introduces high-end features and performance at a breakthrough price.

The iPad Air 3 presents an upgraded design in comparison to its iPad 9.7-inch predecessor, without, however, achieving the distinctive changes made to the Pro models. By shrinking the bezels around the device’s edge, and that way enabling a larger screen-to-body ratio, a bigger display is offered in the new iPad. The 2019 Air model retails the Home button, unlike the 2018 Pro models, and abandons the newer Face ID in favor of the trusted Touch ID. The iPad Air 3 is also configured with the headphone port.

The iPad Air 3 is available in the iPad’s usual configurations of Silver, Gold and Space Grey. Beginning at the entry price of $499 – iPad Air, 64 GB, Wi-Fi only, the iPad Air 256GB, Wi-Fi is available at $649, followed up by the 64GB Wi-Fi and Cellular model at $629, the iPad is found at its most expensive at $779 – 256GB, Wi-Fi and Cellular.

A difference setting the newly presented iPad Air 3 from its often compared-to iPad 9.7’ is the comeback of the laminated screen. In favor of cost reduction, the 2017 and 2018 iPad models chose to disregard this feature.

Special Features

10.5-inch iPad Air 3 (2019) offers high-end features and performance at a breakthrough price.
  • Among its many features, the new iPad Air includes dual cameras, a rear 8 megapixel “iSight” camera supporting still shots and 1080p HD video alongside the front-mounted 7 megapixel “FaceTime HD” camera with the same capabilities.
  • The iPad Air 3 offers support for the first generation Apple Pencil; support for the second generation cannot possibly be provided due to the potential inability to charge the pencil due to the choice of the older iPad design. The 2019 Air also provides the Smart Keyboard (1st Gen) connectivity options.

Miscellaneous

  • The iPad Air 3 is generally described as a great best-value device, successfully achieving a compromise of a high-definition screen, strong battery life and a familiar design.
