iPad 10 vs iPad Air 5

iPad 10 vs iPad Air 5

The latest iPad (10th generation) that Apple has released recently, has an iPad label. But the design of this model is quite similar with iPad Air (5 th generation). Some people call this model 'iPad Air Lite.'

What is the iPad (10th generation)?

It is a tablet computer designed and marketed by Apple Inc. Basically, this one is the successor to the 9th generation iPad.

What is the iPad Air (5th generation)?

It is a 9.7-inch tablet computer. Apple Inc designed and marketed this model. iPad 10 vs iPad Air 5 Similarities:

There are a few similarities between these two models. Let's check it.

  • Both of these models come with Apple silicon chips and a 16-core Neural Engine with a 5nm process. In addition, both of these models are equipped with a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display that has a resolution of 2360×1640 at 264 ppi. The display comes with True Tone whereas the brightness is 500 nits maximum.

  • USB-C port 
  • 5G connectivity on cellular models 
  • Up to 10 hours of battery life 
  • 64GB and 256GB storage options

 iPad 10 vs iPad Air 5 Differences:

Price & Availability:

The price of iPad 10th Generation starts at £449 in the United States for the WiFi version & £679 for the cellular version, and compared to the previous version, the price increase is significant. Therefore, people may think twice before purchasing the new generation model because the earlier generation is still available at $329 for the 64GB model and $479 for the 256GB Wi-Fi models.

The price of the WiFi version is £669, while £849 is the price of the cellular version of the model. You can see that the price is a little bit more than the iPad's tenth generation. As a result, several people buying for the first time may not prefer it unless they need the more powerful M1 chipset and the second-generation Apple Pencil.

Colors:

iPad (10th generation) is available in four colors. These models come with normal color names like 'blue' instead of 'Epic Ocean View Blue Extreme Ultra.'

iPad Air 5th generation is available in five colors.

Positioning:

When it comes to talk about the 10th generation iPad, the variety of color options, Magic Keyboard Folio, and coupling of iPad will impress you for sure

The webpage of iPad Air lets you see the speed, power, and many other capabilities of the mpdel. Hence, the special thanks will go to the M1 chip. iPad Air can offer you a tablet for £170 extra.

Display and biometrics:

Both models come with Touch ID, which is integrated into the power button on the device top portion. When it comes to determine the quality of the mod model, brightness, and speed are the factors which you need to consider first.

If it comes to talk about the iPad Air, you will get to see three more display upgrades, including- full lamination, anti-reflective coating, and P3 color. Full lamination helps to remove the noticeable gap between the display & glass. As a result, you will get to see a less recessed display.

Whereas, the anti-reflective coating is beneficial when you are working in bright rooms or outdoors. In addition, the P3 color is more vibrant and has better color reproduction.

Remember that the displays are 60Hz panels indicating that you will not be able to enjoy silky-smooth ProMotion.when you scroll web pages and flick between Home Screens. iPad Air is the clear winner in this case.

Chip:

A14 Bionic powers the tenth iPad generation, and it comes with six CPU cores and four GPU cores.

On the other hand, the M1 chip powers the iPad Air, including an 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU. So, the winner is a tie.

Power and Battery:

Both models are identical and get charged via USB-C. So, the winner is a tie.

Accessories:

Both models support Apple's Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil accessories. However, there are a few major differences. The first one is that these keywords aren't magic, actually. Therefore, ensure that you don't expect any magical witzard from Harry Potter. Otherwise, it will disappoint you.

The second is that Magic Keyboard Folio supported the 10th generation iPad. All credits go to the Microsoft Surface like kickstand and the keyboard's function row's inclusion. But the company decided to leave the earlier Magic Keyboard.

As per the website of Apple, the iPad Air doesn't support the Magic Keyboard Folio. It supports the second-generation Apple Pencil attached to the iPad for charging and storage. You should know that the tenth generation supports the first-generation Apple Pencil.

But there are two problems. The first one is that the 1st generation Apple Pencil usually get charged through Lightning.

Regarding the 1st gen Apple Pencil, you need to remove a cap from one end to charge it. Then, you should connect this to the lightning port of the iPad. But you should know that there does not exist any lightning port on the tenth gen iPad. Therefore, you need to connect the adapter before attaching the Apple Pencil. It indicates that the horizontal Pencil is capable of entering the airspace of the table that is near you at the time of charging the accessory.

The second problem is that the 1st gen Apple Pencil is shit.

So, hence, a clear winner is the iPad Air.

Camera:

The cameras on the back are the same. While Apple says the FaceTime camera of the tenth generation iPad is a 'landscape Ultra Wide camera,' the iPad Air model comes with a '12MP Ultra Wide front camera'. Remember that these come with a Centre Stage support feature. So, the winner is a tie.

Software:

You can run both devices on iPadOS in general and iPadOS 16 in particular. However, there are some differences. For instance, iPad Air can run on the M1 processor. Therefore, it is capable of using the new Stage Manager multitasking tool. But the feature doesn't exist on the new iPad. It is expected that more M1 specifications will be launched in the Air in the upcoming days, because it has a newer processor. Compared to the new iPad, the Air will offer more software updates. So, iPad Air is the clear champion in this case despite the fact that iPadOS can run on iPad smoothly.

Apple Pencil Support:

These devices support different generations of Apple Pencils. It means that the iPad's tenth generation is compatible with the 1st gen Apple Pencil whereas the iPad Air is compatible with the 2nd gen of Apple stylus. Hence, you should know that you can use the Pencil of 2nd gen more easily. Besides, it is easily chargeable. The reason is that it enables the user to charge it wirelessly off the Air's side. If you want to use your Apple Pencil with iPad (10th generation), you should invest in Type C for the Lightning dongle. The reason is that the stylus must be connected to a Lightning port for charging. So, iPad Air 5 is the champion in this case.

iPad 10 vs iPad Air 5 Differences:

We have given here the iPad 10 vs iPad Air 5 differences in short.

Apple iPhone SE 4 is one of the upcoming mobiles, which is expected to be a mix of excellent style and incredible functions. This model will be available in a sleek design and many colour options. Moreover, the company is developing an updated version of the inexpensive iPhone SE. Therefore, we expect that the model will come with a few changes. Although any new model of iPhone SE can only be expected in 2024, we are still getting rumours.

Features of Apple iPhone SE 4:

Design: 

Basically, the present third-generation iPhone SE is the smallest device of Apple. This one was designed after the iPhone 8.

This upcoming iPhone SE 4 version is expected to have some updated features. According to the rumours, the company plans to give a new design to this model. It will come with an all-display design similar to the flagship lineup. In addition, the Home button is expected to be removed by Apple. According to the suggestion of Leaker Jon Prosser, this model might look similar to the 2018 iPhone XR that comes with rounded edges instead of the squared-off look of current iPhones. The original version was designed based on the iPhone 5s, whereas the 2nd & 3rd versions have many similarities with the iPhone 8.

Display Size: 

According to Prosser and Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the company might use a 6.1-inch display. Whereas, Ross Young, a display analyst, expects that for the next iPhone SE, the company is considering 5.7-inch and 6.1-inch display options. On the other hand, according to Young, the company has yet to confirm any plans for the fourth- generation version.

Display Material: 

We all know that other iPhone models in Apple's lineup have OLED displays. Whereas the SE model comes with an LCD. Since the iPhone 12, the company has used all OLED technology for flagship models. However, we still need to confirm whether the company will use LCD or OLED technology for this upcoming model iPhone SE 4. Remember that the iPhone SE is available at much more reasonable prices compared to other models.

Notch: 

Apple could adopt a notch for the iPhone SE. SE. Since the 2017 iPhone XR, Apple has used this design for flagship iPhones. Due to the presence of the notched display, the company has the chance to put the front-facing camera. But we still don't know whether iPhone SE will be compatible with Face ID and the TrueDepth camera system.

Chipset: 

We are expecting this upcoming model to support the A16 chip. This specific chip is used to power the mobiles of the existing iPhone 14 series.

Touch ID or Face ID?

The SE model is the last iPhone with Touch ID, while Apple has been transitioning away from it. On the flip side, the upcoming generation model may feature Face ID.

MyDrivers and Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that the upcoming model might come with a Touch ID power button similar to the iPad Air, iPad, and iPad mini. However, you should know that still now, for any iPhone model, this technology has not been used. But when a gadget features a Touch ID power button, it helps keep the price low and creates differences between the iPhone SE and the flagship iPhones.

5G technology: 

This version of the iPhone SE supports 5G technology. The next generation and the latest version are expected to come with an upgraded 5G chip.

Battery: 

It will come with a Li-ion Removable battery that allows the phone to charge quickly.

Sensors: 

It supports a Light sensor, Proximity sensor, Accelerometer, Barometer, Compass, and Gyroscope.

Software:

It will have the latest version of iOS, i.e., iOS 16. In addition, this model will be equipped with some excellent features like lock screen customization, new messages feature, and so on. Just like its predecessors, it is expected that this upcoming model will receive software support for five to six years.

iPhone SE 4 Price in the US:

The price of this may remain at $449 in the US. Currently, the budget retails for the iPhone SE version is $429. But last year, the price was bumped by $29. So, if any upgrades or changes to the design are done, a price bump could be seen with the iPhone SE 2023.

If anything like that happens, the price of the iPhone SE 2023 will be $449 or even $499. People will get this model available in three storage variants such as 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. Remember that the prices are assumptions as we still don't know the official price.

However, it may happen that there will be no cost bump for the iPhone SE 2023. Previously, it was said that there would be a price bump for the iPhone 14 pro model as this model comes with new specifications and upgrades. But later, this news turned out to be fake. So, the incident could happen with this next-generation model also.

  • The model could house a 1980 mAh battery enabling you to use the model for more extended periods. And you don't need to worry about battery drainage. So if you want to use this model for playing games, hearing songs, and watching movies for a more extended period, you can do so.
