Apple unveiled the new iPad Air 2019, and did it before the March 25th event in an uncommonly quiet way. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The most interesting of the two is the new iPad Air 2019. Apple ended up borrowing the chassis, Smart Connector, Lightning connector and the stereo speakers from the iPad Pro 10.5-inch (2017). The company engineers added the old Apple Pencil support, which means that this new iPad won&#8217;t be able to support the wirelessly charging, second generation pencil. The same goes for the detachable Smart Keyboard. The Smart Keyboard Folio, will unfortunately also not be compatible. The Touch ID also remains, to delight the long-time Apple users who find Face ID uncomfortable. <\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":11452} -->\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"650\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ipad-air-2019-a12-bionic.jpg\" alt=\"The powerful and smart A12 Bionic chip brings a new level of performance to iPad Air.\" class=\"wp-image-11452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ipad-air-2019-a12-bionic.jpg 650w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ipad-air-2019-a12-bionic-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ipad-air-2019-a12-bionic-620x429.jpg 620w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ipad-air-2019-a12-bionic-217x150.jpg 217w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ipad-air-2019-a12-bionic-600x415.jpg 600w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ipad-air-2019-a12-bionic-217x150@2x.jpg 434w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption>The powerful and smart A12 Bionic chip brings a new level of performance to iPad Air.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>However, the greatest thing borrowed is the A12 Bionic chipset! Normally, Apple iPads come with chips with an \u201cX\u201d suffix in their name. The iPad Air 2019 shares the same chip with the iPhone X series. It gives a significant performance boost in comparison with the iPad Pro 10.5 that runs on A10X Fusion. A12 Neural Engine allows to launch several apps at once and use augmented reality features. <\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>The RAM is cut down to 3GB, and the top storage capacity is only 256GB. Cameras are downgraded to 8MP with f\/2.4 aperture (iPad Air 2019) vs. 12MP with an f\/1.8 (iPad Pro 2017). However, the FaceTime HD camera is the same at 7MP with f\/2 aperture. The screen is simple Retina, not like the iPad Pro\u2019s Liquid Retina, and features a resolution of 2224 x 1668 pixels or 264 pixels per inch. The screen refresh rate is still unknown, but one thing that is certain is that the 120Hz rate as in the iPad Pro 10.5 is not supported. Considering that this rate activates only in iOS interface but decrease in half in movies or when the picture is static, the lack of this screen feature is not a great deal.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":11453} -->\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"650\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ipad-air-2019-pen.png\" alt=\"With Apple Pencil, you can turn iPad Air into your notepad, canvas, or just about anything else you can imagine.\" class=\"wp-image-11453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ipad-air-2019-pen.png 650w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ipad-air-2019-pen-300x185.png 300w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ipad-air-2019-pen-620x382.png 620w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ipad-air-2019-pen-244x150.png 244w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ipad-air-2019-pen-600x369.png 600w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ipad-air-2019-pen-244x150@2x.png 488w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption> With Apple&nbsp;Pencil, you can turn iPad&nbsp;Air into your notepad, canvas, or just about anything else you can&nbsp;imagine. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>After iPads Pro sales collapsed last year, Apple needs all the luck in the world. A \u2018diet\u2019 iPad Pro version can save the day, especially with the $499 base price. Of course, accessories come for separate prices and you must add an extra $99 for an Apple Pencil and $159 for a Smart Keyboard. An ultimate kit will cost $757, $42 less than the first generation of the iPad Pro. On the upside, you can always buy second-hand accessories because they have been in the market for a long time. <\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>In a nutshell, the iPad Air 2019 is a very good mid-class Apple tablet. If the Pro lineup is too extravagant for you, or you don\u2019t need a packed up premium tablet, this is a great choice. I\u2019m going to get me one for sure.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<h2>Links<\/h2>\r\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/apple\/ipad\">Everything about iPad<\/a> &#8211; iGotOffer Encyclopedia<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/newsroom\/2019\/03\/all-new-ipad-air-and-ipad-mini-deliver-dramatic-power-and-capability\/\">All-new iPad Air and iPad mini deliver dramatic power and capability<\/a> &#8211; Apple<\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/ipad-air\/\" target=\"_blank\">iPad Air<\/a> &#8211; Apple <\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/sell\/ipad\/ipad-air\" target=\"_blank\">How to trade your old iPad Air for cash<\/a> &#8211; iGotOffer<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All-new Apple iPad Air and iPad Mini 5 are here!
