iPad Air 5 in 2024: Is It Still Worth It?

The iPad Air 6 just came out, but the Air 5 from 2022 is the one you should actually get. To this day, it has excellent performance from the M1 chip and 8 gigs of RAM, the latest design language with symmetrical bezels and flat sides, and the latest version of iPadOS that’ll get updates for years into the future. You get all that with an iPad that goes for as low as $400 used these days.
