Ever since the iPad Pro launched, the iPad Air Lineup has been this awkward middle child.
More often than not, the standard iPads or the iPad Pro lineup has been the better choice.
This changed with the launch of the iPad Air 4.
The iPad Air 4 starts at Rs.
54,900 for the 64 GB WIFI model and Rs.
66,900 and the 256 GB model will set you back by Rs.
Also, unlike the iPad Air 3, the new iPad Air comes with black bezels for all colorways.
Even the antenna lines on the cellular models are identical.
The color options include Space Gray, Silver, Rose Gold, Sky Blue, and Green.
The iPad Air 4 displays colors accurately and is one of the best LCD panels.
What this means is that the display cannot display deep blacks, an OLED display can.
iPadOS 14 came with support for widgets, Siri got an updated compact UI.
you might also cut and copy anything you write in apps such as Notes.
iPadOS 14 also let you change the default email and online window app for your iPad.
Earlier, only Safari and Apple Mail could be your default web app and email apps respectively.
But how is it like to actually use iPadOS 14?
First, let me get the things that bug me the most on iPadOS.
The iPad still doesnt have a default calculator or weather app.
The only options are to either download third-party apps from the App Store or ask Siri using Hey Siri.
you could also open any number of apps as pop-ups.
Now for some of the things, I like about iPadOS 14.
Most of the apps are optimized for the big screen on the iPad.
Although there are some notable exceptions such as Instagram.
FaceTime calls also appear as notifications on the top instead of taking over the entire screen.
iPadOS 14 also added new privacy features.
iPadOS 14 now also supports the trackpad if you are using the Magic Keyboard.
Plenty of third-party apps have added support for trackpads on iPads such as Microsoft Office.
Cameras
People mostly use cameras on a tablet for document scanning.
Only a select few actually click day-to-day pictures with their iPad.
The iPad Air 4 has still seen a nice little jump in camera quality compared to its predecessor.
The iPad Air 4 now comes with a 12 MP camera with an f/1.8 aperture.
This means more detail and better photos in low-light.
The iPad Air 4 can now also take videos up to 4K 60 fps.
The iPad Air 4 takes crisp shots with good color and dynamic range.
In low light, the iPad Air 4 suffers, losing a lot of detail.
you’ve got the option to use the iPad for about 9-10 hours with standard usage.
If you get the Cellular version, expect the Screen on Time you get to be a little less.
Unlike with the iPhones, Apple does include a 20W charging adapter with the iPads.
Should you buy the iPad Air 4?
