Apple iPad 10.9 64gb 5th Generation 2022.

I have had several ipads in the past so decided to update my wifes one. This is an ipad air 64gb 5th generation so many of the features had changed such as the fingerprint recognition now placed at the top of the pad.The screen is much better, larger with clear definition, very fast and responsive, light in weight so easy to hold for extended periods of time.Transfering the data over is a bit of a faff, constantly requiring the fingerprint to be used and requesting passwords to be entered, I get the enhanced security but when you are downloading from the cloud that you have already verified seemed a bit frustrating.However, it is a great bit of kit from Apple as always, I did consider another well known brand but stuck with what we know, in addition John Lewis ... MoreI have had several ipads in the past so decided to update my wifes one.

Good Product!

This iPad was purchased for my wife for shopping , emails, photos and leisure. It is very quick in connecting to the internet, which pleases my wife, and is also very quick at recharging. The photos produced are usually pretty good and it very easy to email a shot to somebody.The only annoying downside is that adverts keep popping up when she has a bit of leisure time (in bed) and plays a few games. Sometimes she has to wait a while for the advert to finish as you cannot clear them immediately. It seems you can get rid of the adverts by PAYING a monthly or annual fee. After paying out nearly £600 for an item, one doesn't expect to pay additional charges.

Good Value compared to iPad Pro M2

This replaced my seven year old Air 2 The M1 processor is more than adequate and should future proof the iPad for a few years. Screen quality is good and the Touch ID works well.JL had this at a good price and it was not much more than the iPad 10 and a lot less than the iPad Pro M2. I would have preferred 128GB of storage, but not available and the 256GB is expensive. As a mid range iPad I would recommend it .

Ideal replacement

My old iPad had reached the point of no updates and whilst I wanted to use it as a back-up, I knew I needed a replacement. Searched around and found a great deal on John Lewis. It arrived quickly and well packaged, with typical Apple minimalist content inside the box. It looks good and works perfectly with a few new bells and whistles. I don't need masses of memory. The screen is crystal clear. I haven't tried out the camera yet but I don't tend to use that for photography. The sound is clear and I'm still finding it a joy to use and have around. I like portability so use my laptop and iPad are companions around the home and away from home. All in all I consider this an excellent purchase.

Love the larger ipad and glad I upgraded

I have been eying this up for a while. Larger screen, beautiful graphics, better sound. I am not a computer wizz just someone who enjoys using an ipad for leisure. Streaming is top quality on this and some clever tips I have learnt via youtube experts. This does not disappoint. Buy via John Lewis for peace of mind and two year guarantee.

Overall great buy

Overall this is a great IPad for School, Work and to just have around the house for the family my wife uses it for college and it’s nice because she can easily pick it up and go because of how versatile it is and when you buy the keyboard with it it practically turns it into a laptop that has service anywhere you go if you get the cellular version so it’s definitely nice to be able to do school, work or watching videos on long car rides without having to use a hotspot. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone because of all the great benefits of it.

Really capable device

My last iPad was the 3rd generation and 9 years old before the useful software gave us (machine still works) to constant updates. So I was determined to to ensure that the new device was using the latest processor and I am not disappointed with its processing capabilities. What has surprised me is that file sizes have grown so if I was buying again I would have gone for a larger storage, which then puts it into the Pro category. Having said that though, as long as you have internet connection, everything can go on the cloud and the exchange with my main "Mac" works brilliantly. The USB-C connection leaves the door open to portable external storage also.So what am using this for? Combined with the Logitech Combo Touch, it effectively makes this a laptop.

I am using all the MS 365 suite, media streaming and using my iPhone 13 to tether and it works really well. It works exceptionally well with no delay between apps and being able to use a pencil makes it easy to sign stuff / take notes and doodle.In summary, I recommend, but be careful about ensuring it meets your storage needs, particularly if using "offline", at which point the Pro becomes a realistic choice.

Review of APPLE 10.9 iPad Air (2022) - 64 GB Purple

This was an upgrade to a newer model with more storage capacity. The main difference that my wife has found is that the tablet is much heavier.Apparently the turning off process often results in her taking a screenshot.

Trouble with charging

I bought this last year and had to take it in for repairs after 6 months because it wouldn't charge. It came back working but no answer to what the problem was. A couple months later I had to take it back again for the same reason. Again, no definite answer to what's wrong just maybe some software issue. Now it has happened again this week, it won't charge and it's past it's warranty. I've always thought of Apple products as superior and reliable - I still have a 10 year old ipad that's working!It's a great device when it works but because the repair technicians don't know why it randomly stops charging for a period of time and then starts again, overall it's an expensive disappointment.
