Omdöme - Utförlig uppgradering av Air
Även 2020 års modell av iPad Air kommer fortsatt placera sig mellan iPad 8 och iPad Pro 11, men den ser nu mer ut som Pro-modellen. Detta märks inte bara på den nya designen utan också på att tillbehör som Magic Keyboard eller Pencil 2 går att använda på båda modellerna.
4:e generationen av iPad Air är en utförlig uppgradering och den närmar sig Pro-modellerna.
Det finns ett flertal nyheter jämfört med den föregående modellen. Utöver den senaste A14-processorn har den nu 4 GB minne, en större skärm, USB-C 3.2 och en aningen bättre kamera med stöd för inspelning av 4K-video. Touch ID är nu inbyggt i startknappen, vilket inte påverkar funktionens pålitlighet på något sätt.
iPad Pro är bättre och har mer RAM, en kraftigare SoC och en 120 Hz-skärm, så det är inte alls tänkt att iPad Air ska ersätta den, men Apple har valt lite andra skiljelinjer. Men för många är iPad Air 4 inte bara ett billigare alternativ utan också ett mer logiskt sådant. Den har mer än tillräckligt med prestanda för alla områden och passar till och med bra för att redigera bilder och video.
