Rumors have been circulating for months and we even came close to seeing them much earlier, but numerous delays forced us to wait. Now, finally, the new sixth generation iPad Air are official. And yes, we speak in the plural and it’s not exactly by mistake.
Unlike what was seen in previous generations of “Air”, in this new there are two different sizes. Something like the iPad Pro, which has also been renewed today, but in a more sober version. We review all of its features below.

A known design, but growing
If you look at them in a simple photo, you will see that The two new iPad Airs are very similar to their predecessors. It’s not for nothing that they follow the same formula. Straight edges with curved corners, a clean back where there is only room for the Apple logo, a single camera next to its microphone, as well as the smart connector for accessories.
The big news is that, as we said before, this year there are two different sizes. On the one hand the 10.9 inch version which still retains the same IPS-LCD panel, with a refresh rate of up to 60 Hz and FullHD+ resolution.
On the other side is the 12.9 inch model similar to what the larger iPad Pros were in their day. It has an IPS-LCD panel, although unlike the ‘Pro’ ones, its refresh rate is also limited here to 60 Hz.
