Apple announced a new iPad Air<\/a> during its \u201cPeek Performance\u201d event<\/a> on March 8th. While the design is similar to that of the last-gen Air, Apple did introduce a few iterative changes. <\/p>\n

For one, the iPad Air now shares the same blazing-fast M1 processor found in the most recent iPad Pro. The new Air also touts a 12MP front camera (updated from the last gen\u2019s 7MP) equipped with Apple\u2019s Center Stage feature<\/a>, which can automatically follow you in the frame during video calls. There\u2019s also 5G connectivity on the cellular models, a USB-C port that\u2019s up to twice as fast as the last gen\u2019s port, and 10Gbps of data transfer speeds. <\/p>\n

Like the last-gen model did, the new 10.9-inch iPad Air starts at $599 \u2014 although note that the LTE models cost $20 more. While it won\u2019t be available until March 18th, you can preorder it starting Friday, March 11th, from Apple<\/a>, B&H Photo<\/a>, Verizon<\/a>, T-Mobile<\/a>, and AT&T<\/a>.<\/p>\n
