iPad Air 5 - Best NEW Features!

**Top New Features in the 2022 iPad Air**

The latest 2022 iPad Air has arrived with a slew of exciting new features that are sure to impress. One of the most notable upgrades is the camera system, which has been significantly improved over the previous generation.

**Improved Camera System**

The front-facing camera on the 2022 iPad Air boasts an even wider field of view, with a staggering 122 degrees. This means that no matter how you move around on your iPad, the camera can follow you seamlessly, making it perfect for video calls and group chats. Apple has also adopted Center Stage technology, which ensures that you or a group of people are always in frame. The upgraded sensor itself is now a 12-megapixel camera, up from 7 megapixels on the previous generation. This significant upgrade provides even better image quality and allows for more detailed photos and videos.

To put this new feature into action, we took a selfie with the iPad Air's front-facing camera. When viewed in standard mode, it looks great, but when zoomed out, the full 122-degree field of view becomes apparent. The camera's ability to capture such a wide angle is truly impressive, and it's perfect for group selfies or video calls.

**Time-Lapse Video with Stabilization**

Another exciting feature on the 2022 iPad Air is its time-lapse video capabilities, which include lens correction and cinematic stabilization. This means that you can capture stunning slow-motion footage of your surroundings, complete with smooth panning and zooming effects. The camera's ability to stabilize the footage makes it perfect for capturing time-lapses in low-light conditions.

We took a few sample photos using the front-facing camera, and the results were impressive. The image quality was top-notch, with great detail and color accuracy. The addition of Smart HDR support further enhances the overall image quality, making it perfect for capturing professional-looking photos and videos.

**Improved Colors**

One of the most exciting new colors available on the 2022 iPad Air is a stunning blue shade that's sure to turn heads. Unlike the previous generation's light blue color, this new darker blue is truly eye-catching. Apple has also introduced other new colors, including Space Gray, Starlight, Pink, and Purple.

While we were waiting for the camera demonstrations, we had the chance to take a closer look at the new colors. The Blue shade in particular caught our attention, with its deep, rich tone that's both sophisticated and stylish. We're also big fans of the Space Gray color, which remains a staple on Apple devices but now has a sleeker, more modern look.

**Basis Pro Super Sai Quick Charger**

As we were waiting for the camera demonstrations to wrap up, our sponsor Basis sent us their brand-new super sai pro quick charger to show off its features. This tiny device measures in at just 8.3 inches, making it smaller than Apple's own 30-watt charger.

Despite its compact size, the Basis Pro Super Sai Quick Charger packs a punch when it comes to charging speed and efficiency. With dual USB-C ports and built-in circuitry protections, this charger is safe to use on any device, regardless of its power requirements. It can deliver up to 18 watts of power via USB-C and an additional 12 watts from the backwards-compatible USB-A port.

One of the standout features of this charger is its speed – it can charge your iPhone 13 to 50% in just 30 minutes. We put it to the test, and the results were impressive.

**Improved Port**

Another notable upgrade on the 2022 iPad Air is the improved USB-C port. Apple has upgraded the port from USB 3.1 Gen 1 to USB 3.1 Gen 2, which provides faster data transfer rates of up to 10 gigabits per second. This is twice the data rate of the previous generation and makes it perfect for larger displays.

**5G Support**

For those who need a cellular connection on the go, the 2022 iPad Air now supports 5G connectivity via LTE. While it doesn't support the same millimeter wave frequencies as the iPad Pro, it does offer faster speeds via sub-6 gigahertz bandwidth, which is more common.

**New M1 Processor**

Finally, the 2022 iPad Air features a brand-new M1 processor on the inside, which provides significantly improved performance and power. This is no longer just the A-series chip used in previous generations – instead, it's the same silicon as Apple's Mac lineup and iPad Pro models. The result is an 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine, making it twice as powerful as the previous generation.

We tested the M1 processor with some Geekbench results that show just how impressive it is.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enlet's take a look at the best new features on the 5th generation ipad air welcome everybody and thank you for joining let's go through the best new features on the 5th generation ipad air starting with some improvements to the cameras and i am talking about both the front facing and rear cameras on the back of the ipad apple did not upgrade the sensor itself but thanks to the new silicon on the inside has improved dynamic range for 4k video and smart hdr4 on the front-facing camera we have even more improvements apple has adopted center stage so as you go ahead and move around on your ipad the camera can follow you this works when you're taking a facetime call as well as many third-party applications such as zoom has a very wide 122 degree field of view to make sure you or a group of people are all in frame at the same time then we have an upgraded sensor itself it is now a 12 megapixel camera sensor versus only 7 megapixels so it goes from 7 to 12 megapixels as well as that new 122 degree field of view which if you want to see what that looks like we can go ahead and take a selfie here this is the standard view but if we zoom out here is that full 122 degree field of view it is very very wide we also have time lapse video with stabilization on that front spacing camera with lens correction and cinematic stabilization briefly here are a few sample photos using that new front-facing camera that's been upgraded to 12 megapixels it does overall very good and is improved with smart hdr support as well number two on the list of top new features are some improved colors my favorite of all the new colors has to be the blue the previous generation had a light blue but this new darker blue is just stunning i love this color so much and

on the ipad air instead of just lte now it doesn't support millimeter wave like we see on the ipad pros but it does support the sub 6 gigahertz bandwidth which is more common finally that brings us to the new m1 processor on the inside this is a big upgrade apple is no longer sticking with the a series chip on the ipad air and instead it is using the same silicon as its mac line and its ipad pro line so now the ipad air has as much performance and power as the 11 and 12.9 inch ipad pros here are our geekbench results which are stunning they're great and they are pretty much on par with what we got for the ipad pros it is an 8 core cpu and 8 core gpu and 16 corel neural engine which is twice as good graphics and 60 improved performance grab one for yourself at the link down below in the
