New iPad Air Brings 5nm A14 Bionic Processor, Bezel-Less Design

Last Updated on May 6, 2021 by Akanksha Singh

Apple announced the new-generation iPad Air alongside the 8th Gen. iPad, Apple Watch Series 6, and the Apple Watch SE. Compared to the previous-generation iPad Air, the new tablet features a bezel-less design, which means that it has a bigger screen in the same physical size. The new iPad Air has a 10.9-inch display and a newer design, similar to that of the iPad Pro. It comes in six colours:  Green, Rose Gold, Silver, Sky Blue, and Space Gray.

The new iPad Air comes with the brand-new 5nm A14 Bionic processor. It also features a Touch ID fingerprint sensor that’s embedded into the power button. Unlike the iPad Pro, though, it lacks the ProMotion screen, which means it does not feature a display with a high-refresh rate. At least, it is compatible with the second-generation Apple Pencil, like the iPad Pro.
