Although Apple has yet to confirm an exact release date, the iPad Air 4 is arriving sooner rather than later. In addition, there are multiple versions of the iPad Air becoming available, so consumers will need to be aware of the different choices and options before deciding on which one is right for them. Either way, Apple's latest iPad Air entry offers processing power that's considered a huge leap, compared to its predecessor.
The iPad Air 4 comes with a bigger display, updated functionality, and upgraded specs that seem to blur the line between mid-range and some of Apple's most high-end tablets available. Despite rocking a processor that's basically two-generations ahead of its predecessor, the price difference is minimal. With tablets now becoming more relevant than ever, so is the highly-anticipated release of Apple's lightest iPad offering, but there are some caveats to its availability.
According to Apple, the newest iPad Air 4 is due to become “available in October.” While there's no definite timeline on its release, the plan is for sales to start before the end of this month. The base Wi-Fi-only model with 64GB internal storage starts at $599. Opting for the larger 256GB storage option bumps the price up to $749. Likewise, adding cellular data support increases the cost to $879. However, those who get it at Apple's store can get a personalized engraving on their iPad at no additional cost. As for color options, the iPad Air 4 is available in a handful of hues, including Silver, Rose Gold, Green, Sky Blue and, of course, Space Gray.
iPad Air 4 Better Buy Than Regular iPad?
The improvements made to the iPad Air 4 are as significant as the latest iPad, which is already understood to be capable of outperforming laptops thanks to its upgraded chip. As a result, the latest iPad Air is more than capable of handling many demanding tasks, and all while weighing less than most other iPad models. Therefore, those looking for a lightweight but powerful tablet, will likely see the new iPad Air as the better iPad purchase.
Furthermore, the fact that it's also rocking Apple's most advanced chip makes it more future-proof than other iPad variants. Despite being lighter than the normal iPad, it also comes with the bigger screen and better camera hardware. While having no definite release date might make planning a purchase a little challenging, the iPad Air 4 is likely to be worth the wait.
