RAM and Storage

With 3GB RAM, it runs smoothly for most everyday tasks. Storage options include 64GB and 256GB. If you plan to store large files, the 256GB variant may suit you better, especially since it does not support external SD cards.

Rear Camera

The 8MP rear camera is good for basic photography and scanning documents. It includes features like HDR, autofocus, and panorama, which are helpful for occasional image capture or video recording.

Front Camera

The 7MP FaceTime HD camera supports 1080p video and works well for video calls, online classes, or meetings. It also includes features like Retina Flash and auto HDR for better image quality in various lighting conditions.

OS and Updates

It runs on iPadOS and supports many of the features available in the latest iPadOS versions. However, as a 2019 model, future updates may be limited, which is important if you rely on the newest apps or security features.

5G and Connectivity

The iPad Air 3 does not support 5G. It includes dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0, which are sufficient for most home and office needs. Cellular models support 4G LTE, offering flexibility for users who need internet on the go.

SIM Slots

Cellular models feature a nano-SIM slot and support for eSIM. This allows users to use a mobile data plan without needing a physical SIM, which can be convenient for international travel or switching between networks.

With an aluminium body and just 6.1 mm thickness, the device is easy to carry and handle. The Wi-Fi model weighs 456g, while the cellular version weighs slightly more at 464g. Its slim profile makes it comfortable for prolonged use.
