Hardware
While the iPad Air (2019) features the upgraded front camera system of the 7MP (1080p) camera used since 2016 starting with the iPhone 7 and continued with the iPhone XS, it continues with the older 8MP (1080p) rear camera system used since the iPad Air 2 in 2014[2], so it cannot record in 4K.[3] This iPad Air retains the Lightning port and keeps the headphone jack.
The Apple A12 Bionic chip powering the iPad Air has a 66% faster clock speed than its predecessor, which had a 1.5GHz triple-core processor; the Apple A8X. The Apple A12 Bionic chip has a 2.49GHz six-core processor.[4] It has a True Tone display, which allows the LCD to adapt to ambient lighting to change its color and intensity in different environments.[5]
It is 3x faster than iPad Air 2, and can last up to 10 hours.[6]
