Recently dethroned by the version with an M1 chip, the iPad Air 2020 is still one of the tablets that we recommend without worry. All the more so at the moment, since its price goes from 639 euros to 557 euros on Amazon, in its pink gold version.
The excellent iPad Air M1 may have made a sensational entry into the tablet market, but its 2020 version still remains one of the best references tested to date. A great alternative to the iPad Pro, this model offers very good performance for more standard use. And one of its advantages is its price, which is currently decreasing in its rose gold version.
What to remember about the iPad Air 2020
- A 10.9-inch Retina display
- The good performance of the A14 Bionic chip
- Compatible with the 2nd generation Apple Pencil
First offered at 639 euros, the iPad Air 2020 (Wi-Fi) in Rose Gold is now displayed at 557 euros on Amazon.

A design that copies that of the Pro version
In terms of design, the iPad Air 2020 looks just like the iPad Pro. Apple has bet on the same look borderless than the more expensive version has already adopted. In addition to its format, the iPad Air 2020 also has a Liquid Retina screen (LCD, therefore) with rounded edges of 10.9 inches. Note that this model is compatible with the second generation Apple Pencil, which is recharged by attaching to one side of the tablet, as well as with a Magic Keyboard for productivity work. Please note that both are not supplied with the tablet…
Otherwise, the Cupertino company has abandoned the Home button, but not the Touch ID, which it has just transferred from place: it is now found on the edge of the iPad for more ergonomics when unlocking the device.
An iPad that remains very efficient
On the power side, the iPad Air 2020 has an A14 Bionic chip engraved in 5 nm, the same one that powers the iPhone 12. Of course, this chip is not the most recent, since the A15 Bionic has already exceeded it , not to mention the M1 chip which brings tenfold power and puts the iPad Air 2022 on an equal footing with the iPad Pro, but the performance will still be largely there. Applications from the App Store will launch smoothly and without slowing down. It will also provide multitasking, photo editing or even gourmet 3D games. Whatever your use, fluidity will be required, and this is what is mainly expected of a premium tablet today. Note also the presence of two good quality speakers to enjoy your audio content and your series in good conditions.
Finally, when it comes to battery life, the iPad Air 2020 holds up pretty well with a 10-hour battery life with web browsing and videos. By moderating the use, the autonomy can even increase to two days. To fully charge the tablet, you will have to wait 2h30. And in terms of its connectivity, the tablet has a Lightning port and a USB-C port, which will also be very useful for faster charging and more charger compatibility.
