Ipad Air Gen 1 Vs Gen 4. IPad Air 4 performance and cameras Comparing the iPad 8 to the iPad Air 4 is a tale of two processors. To start with the all-new iPad Air 4th-generation takes design inspiration from the iPad Pro which features a boxy design with shredded bezels all.
The new iPad has a 102-inch screen like its predecessor but is upgraded to the Apple A12 Bionic processor. Finally the original iPad Air supports iOS 11 and iOS 12 but the iPad 4th Gen does not. 32 GB 128 GB.
Its still only compatible with the first-generation Apple Pencil a consequence of its design and while it has a lower starting price youre getting a lot less power and a dated design compared to the iPad Air 4.
A couple of months ago Apple officially unveiled the iPad Air fourth-generation tablet and announced a new eighth-gen iPad simply called iPad 2020 or iPad. These 4 iPad Air versions use very different chips and processors. Now I strongly believe that the iPad Pro will get a processor chip upgrade within the next six months so if you have your heart set on the iPad Pro do not buy. The 1st Generation features an A7 chip with an M7 coprocessor the iPad Air 2 features an A8X chip with an M8 coprocessor while the 3rd Generation features a more recent A12 Bionic chip with an M12 coprocessor and the new iPad Air 4th generation runs on Apples A14 Bionic chipset.
