As expected, preorders have officially opened up for the newest iPad to hit Apple\u2019s lineup: the 2022 iPad Air<\/a>. Announced alongside the new iPhone SE<\/a> and Mac Studio<\/a> during the company\u2019s \u201cPeek Performance\u201d event on March 8th<\/a>, the new base model starts at $599 and will be available beginning March 18th. You can, however, preorder the iPad Air starting today, March 11th, from Apple, Best Buy, B&H Photo, and a handful of other retailers.<\/p>\n

The iPad Air boasts the same M1 chip found in the latest iPad Pro, as well as 5G connectivity and a USB-C port that allows for faster data transfer speeds. Apple says its eight-core CPU is up to 60 percent faster than the A14 Bionic processor in the 2020 iPad Air<\/a>, too, and its eight-core GPU should provide two times the graphics power of its predecessor. The tablet houses a 12MP front-facing camera that can take advantage of Apple\u2019s Center Stage feature, which is designed to automatically keep you centered in the frame during video calls.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, the tablet is similar to the 2020 model and is available in two different storage configurations \u2014 64GB and 256GB \u2014 each outfitted with a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display. We\u2019ll have a review for the newest iPad Air in the near future, but if you\u2019re looking to secure the slate ahead of its launch next week, it\u2019s available for preorder right now in a slew of colors, including blue, gray, pink, purple, and a silver-gold colorway called \u201cstarlight.\u201d <\/p>\n
