iPad Air M2 hands-on: A big-screen iPad that doesn't break the bank


Apple's iPad Air update isn't a wild change, but that's OK. It's the first time the company has sold a large-screen iPad for less than $1,000.

Rather than a total redesign, the iPad Air is getting some expected and slightly overdue changes: a new screen size, a new processor and a front-facing camera that is placed on the landscape side of the tablet. It's long been the best overall iPad, straddling the line between the budget entry model and the wildly powerful and expensive Pro lineup. That makes it a little more approachable as a hand-held tablet, though I still feel like an iPad this large is best suited to either be used in a keyboard dock or flat on a table with an Apple Pencil.
