Apple has refreshed its iPad range with new versions of two of its most popular tablets.
The popular iPad Air has been given a major redesign and now features the “all-screen” front panel look, where the Home button is removed and the bezels reduced to create a larger screen.
Unveiled during a virtual event, Apple said the new Air would include its latest A14 Bionic processor, which it says is the most powerful it has ever produced.
The updated Air has a larger 10.9-inch display and will start at £579.
Apple’s Greg Joswiak said: “Today we’re excited to introduce a completely redesigned and far more powerful iPad Air, debuting Apple’s most powerful chip ever made, the A14 Bionic.
“Along with major upgrades to the iPad Pro and eighth-generation iPad this year, and the powerful new features of iPadOS 14, this is our strongest iPad line-up ever, giving our customers even more ways to enrich their daily lives.”
The Air was unveiled alongside a new version of Apple’s base model iPad, the eighth generation of the tablet, which will start at £329 and will be available from September 18.
Mr Joswiak said that device was “incredible value at a time when, more than ever, our customers need powerful and versatile ways to work, play, learn, and connect with loved ones.”
