Reviews by Topic

Size

Actually a downgrade from the previous Air

Cons: They moved the fingerprint reader to the top corner, presumably to increase the size of the display. Locating the reader on the corner impacts the software UI driving endless changes that have negative value, and add up to a sizeable reduction in quality of user experience (IMO). Apple needs to accept that they should create or buy in-screen fingerprint technology. A tragic design decision

Battery Life

Like new. Super happy with this purchase.

The battery life seems pretty good so far. I tend to charge my iPad one day, use it till it’s roughly halfway gone, put it away, and use it again the next day until it needs to be charged. The battery drains a reasonable amount unless I’m using an app that is universally known to eat battery percentage for breakfast. Otherwise, it doesn’t drop too fast

Battery life is not good. Average battery for the iPad Air 4 is 10 hours. Definitely doesn't last that long.
