      The New Apple iPad Air 2022 Has Landed

      Robert Cerff / 09-03-2022 / News & Tips

      Apple just announced the release and specs of the all-new iPad Air, powered by the incredible M1 chip. Here’s the details you’ve been waiting for.

      PRESS RELEASE FROM APPLE

      March 8, 2022

      Apple introduces the most powerful and versatile iPad Air ever

      The new iPad Air features the breakthrough M1 chip, ultra-fast 5G, a new front camera with Center Stage, and more.

      Cupertino, California Apple today introduced the new iPad Air with the Apple-designed M1 chip, delivering a massive leap in performance. Available in a new array of colors, iPad Air also features the new Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage for a more natural video conferencing experience, a USB-C port with up to 2x faster transfer speeds, and blazing-fast 5G on cellular models — starting at the same affordable price. Advanced cameras and compatibility with the latest accessories enable users, including content creators, gamers, and students, to push the boundaries of creativity, productivity, and self expression. The new iPad Air is available to order beginning Friday, March 11, and will be in stores beginning Friday, March 18.

      “Whether it’s a college student taking elaborate notes, a content creator working on their latest project, or a gamer playing graphics-intensive titles, users love iPad Air for its amazing performance and versatility in such a portable design,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “With the breakthrough M1 chip, Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage, and ultra-fast 5G, iPad Air is now more powerful, more capable, and simply more fun than ever.”

      M1 Brings a Massive Leap in Performance to iPad Air

      The breakthrough M1 chip in iPad Air delivers a giant performance boost to even the most demanding apps and workflows, with incredible power efficiency and all-day battery life. The 8-core CPU delivers up to 60 percent faster performance, and the 8-core GPU delivers up to 2x faster graphics performance compared to the previous iPad Air. Combined with the CPU and GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine powers advanced machine learning (ML) functions that enable next-level experiences. From editing multiple streams of 4K video, to playing graphics-intensive games, redesigning a room in 3D, and more realistic augmented reality (AR), the performance of M1 enables users to do more than ever with iPad Air.

      Ultra Wide 12MP Front Camera with Center Stage

      The Ultra Wide 12MP front camera with Center Stage automatically pans to keep users in view as they move around. When others join in, the camera detects them too, and smoothly zooms out to include them in the conversation. So whether catching up with loved ones or learning remotely, Center Stage makes connecting more engaging than ever. With the addition of Center Stage to iPad Air, all iPad models now feature this magical experience.

      The 12MP Wide camera on the back of iPad Air lets users capture sharp photos and 4K video, scan documents, and enjoy amazing AR experiences. An end-to-end solution for photo and video capture, editing, and sharing, iPad Air is an incredibly versatile and ultra-portable mobile studio.

      Ultra-Fast 5G and Advanced Connectivity

      Customers can do even more on iPad Air with faster wireless connectivity on the go. With 5G, iPad Air can reach peak speeds of up to 3.5Gbps in ideal conditions. With eSIM and Wi-Fi 6 support, iPad Air offers greater flexibility when users need to get connected — from accessing files, to backing up data, communicating with colleagues, or enjoying a movie with family and friends using SharePlay.

      The USB-C port is now up to 2x faster than the previous generation, with data transfers up to 10Gbps, so importing large photos and videos is even quicker. The port connects iPad Air to a vast ecosystem of USB-C accessories, including cameras, external storage, and displays with up to 6K resolution.

      All-Screen Design with the Liquid Retina Display and Touch ID

      Loved for its thin and light design, the new iPad Air comes in a gorgeous array of colors: space gray, starlight, pink, purple, and a stunning new blue. iPad Air features a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display for an immersive visual experience, with 3.8 million pixels and advanced technologies, including 500 nits of brightness, full lamination, a P3 wide color gamut, True Tone, and an anti-reflective screen coating.

      Combined with the Liquid Retina display, landscape stereo speakers in iPad Air deliver wide stereo sound for a great movie-viewing experience. Touch ID is built into the top button of iPad Air, delivering the same ease of use and secure authentication users know and love to unlock iPad Air, log in to apps, or use Apple Pay.

      Accessories

      Apple Pencil (2nd generation) turns iPad Air into a digital journal and sketchbook users can take anywhere. With wireless charging and pairing, Apple Pencil delivers pixel-perfect precision and imperceptible lag, making writing as easy and natural as using pen and paper.
      The new iPad Air is compatible with Magic Keyboard, providing the best typing experience with its floating design and built-in trackpad; Smart Keyboard Folio, with its comfortable typing experience in a slim design; and Smart Folio covers, which come in beautiful coordinating colors — black, white, electric orange, dark cherry, English lavender, and marine blue — that complement the new iPad Air finishes.

      iPadOS 15 Takes the Productivity and Versatility of iPad Air Even Further

      iPadOS 15

      delivers an experience that is designed to take advantage of the unique capabilities of iPad.

      •    Multitasking is even more intuitive, making features like Split View and Slide Over easier to discover, easier to use, and more powerful.

      •    Notes goes systemwide with Quick Note, and offers new ways to collaborate and organize, whether typing or writing with Apple Pencil.

      •    SharePlay makes it possible for friends and family to share experiences while on a FaceTime call. Whether users are hosting a viewing party, listening to an album together, or completing a fitness challenge with a friend, SharePlay keeps everything and everyone perfectly in sync.

      •    iPad keeps getting smarter with advanced ML capabilities. Live Text uses on-device intelligence to recognize text in a photo and allow users to take action. For example, a snapshot of a storefront may reveal a phone number and the option to place a call.

      •    With next week’s release of iPadOS 15.4 and macOS 12.3, Universal Control will enable users to work with a single mouse and keyboard and move between Mac and iPad for a seamless experience, with no setup required. Users can even drag and drop content back and forth between devices — great for sketching with Apple Pencil on iPad and placing it into a Keynote slide on the Mac.

      iPad Air and the Environment

      iPad Air features a 100 percent recycled aluminum enclosure, 100 percent recycled tin in the solder of the main logic board, and 100 percent recycled rare earth elements in the enclosure and audio magnets. All iPad models meet Apple’s high standards for energy efficiency, remain free of numerous harmful substances, and use wood fiber in the packaging that comes from recycled sources or responsibly managed forests.

      Today, Apple is carbon neutral for global corporate operations, and by 2030, plans to have net-zero climate impact across the entire business, which includes manufacturing supply chains and all product life cycles. This means that every Apple device sold, from component manufacturing, assembly, transport, customer use, charging, all the way through recycling and material recovery, will be 100 percent carbon neutral.

      The above excerpt is from Apple’s official Press Release.

      Huawei Nova 13 vs. Huawei Nova 13i

      The Huawei nova 13 range provides a balance of performance and value.

It exudes a premium feel that’s often associated with flagship phones. The device is available in two colours – Loden Green with a plaid finish and the stylish classic Black. The 6.7-inch OLED display delivers deep contrasts and vibrant colours, making it ideal for watching videos or gaming. Plus, with a 120Hz refresh rate, users can expect smooth transitions perfect for a high-quality visual experience.Huawei nova 13iThe Huawei nova 13i is available in blue and white, featuring a shimmering 'star-effect' finish for a modern aesthetic. While its 6.7-inch LCD display doesn’t match the contrast of the Huawei nova 13’s OLED, it still provides sharp, vibrant visuals. With a 90Hz refresh rate, users can enjoy smooth scrolling and media playback. Plus, it’s slightly lighter, making it a great choice for those who prefer a more portable device.Winner: Huawei nova 13While both phones have their own appeal, the Huawei nova 13 stands out due to its OLED display and higher refresh rate, making it the better choice for those who prioritise screen quality.Camera Quality: AI Camera for The Perfect ShotHuawei Nova 13The Huawei nova 13 is a selfie lover’s dream, featuring an impressive 60MP front camera alongside a powerful 50MP rear camera.

Whether you're editing videos, streaming in HD or juggling multiple apps, the Kirin 8000 ensures smooth, lag-free responsiveness.Huawei nova 13iThe Huawei nova 13i comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 processor. While it’s not as powerful as the Kirin 8000, it still offers solid performance for day-to-day activities like social media, texting and light gaming. The keyword here is “light” gaming. Users of more resource-intensive games have complained about the performance.It’s designed to offer an efficient balance between performance and battery life, so it works well for users who are looking for a reliable phone without the need for extreme power.Winner: The Huawei nova 13When comparing the Huawei nova 13 and Huawei nova 13i, the key difference in performance comes from their processors, which act as the brain of the phone, handling everything from app performance to multitasking. A strong processor is one of those things you don’t realise you need until you don’t have it. That’s why the Huawei nova 13 takes the win in this category.Price and Value for Money: Which One Wins?When comparing the Huawei nova 13 and Huawei nova 13i in terms of price and value, both offer impressive performance, but they definitely cater to different needs.Huawei nova 13The Huawei nova 13 is priced higher, but that’s because it packs powerful features like the Kirin 8000 processor and 100W SuperCharge Turbo. If you’re into high-end performance, quick charging and top-tier camera quality, this phone is worth the investment – especially if you’re a multitasker or gamer looking for a device that can keep up and match your energy.Huawei nova 13iOn the other hand, the Huawei nova 13i is more budget-friendly, coming with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 processor, 108MP camera and 40W SuperCharge Turbo.
