The iPad Air 4 LCD Review
The iPad Air 4 comes with a 10.9-inch edge-to-edge display, a powerful A14 Bionic processor and a magnetic Magic Connector that works with the second-generation Apple Pencil and other accessories.
The 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display has a 2360 x 1640 resolution and full lamination. It also features p3 wide color, True Tone and an anti-reflective coating.
Display
The ipad air 4 lcd is a good tablet display that has very accurate colors and great brightness. It’s got an anti-reflective coating on the cover glass that reduces ambient light reflections and makes it easier to see images on the screen in normal ambient light conditions.
Its True Tone feature is a very nice touch that makes it easier to view images with accurate color without turning on a display’s default color temperature, which is usually too warm for optimum viewing. It’s a great option for graphic designers who need accurate colors.
This display also has a very high Contrast Ratio at 30 degrees, with 1,015 in Portrait mode and 974 in Landscape mode. This is the highest we’ve ever measured for an iPad.
A major innovation for all of the current iPad displays is an Anti-Reflection AR coating on the cover glass that reduces ambient lighting reflections by about 3:1 over most other Tablets and Smartphones (including the previous iPads), and about 2:1 over all of the very best competing tablets and smartphones.
All of the current iPads have very good Maximum Brightness, from 415 cd/m2 (nits) for the iPad Air 2, to 424 cd/m2 (nits) on the iPad Pro, and 450 cd/m2 (nits) to the iPad mini 4. Most people don’t need such high screen brightness when working in low-light environments so setting it to Minimum is fine for most use.
However, the bluish White Point on the iPad Pro’s display results in somewhat higher Absolute Color Errors than the softer White Points on the other two Apple displays. This is something to consider when you’re selecting a Tablet for very critical color applications, such as medical imaging, high-end digital photography, product sales demonstrations, and advertising proofs.
In addition, the iPad Pro’s display has a near perfect Log-Straight Intensity Scale and Gamma that is unmatched by any other Tablet we’ve tested. It has a very low Reflectance of 2.0 percent and the Highest Contrast Rating we’ve ever measured for High Ambient Light (225), all of which make it one of the best professional grade Tablets available.
Sensors
The iPad Air 4 has a lot of interesting features, but the one I’ve been most impressed with is its Touch ID sensor. Apple opted to put this tiny fingerprint scanner inside the top power button, which it says was a “feat of engineering.”
This smaller Touch ID is accurate and secure, just like the home-button version, but is much more compact, so you can fit this tablet into a small pocket without compromising its security. It’s a good move by Apple, and it’s one that makes the tablet easier to use with a face mask.
Another cool feature on this model is a display that can automatically adjust the brightness of the screen to compensate for changes in ambient lighting and glare. This allows you to work in brighter or darker conditions with ease, and it saves battery life by adjusting the display accordingly.
As with most Apple devices, you can adjust the Auto Brightness setting to ipad air 4 lcd suit your personal preference or switch it off entirely. This setting can be found in the Settings menu by tapping on “Brightness and Wallpaper.”
The display has a resolution of 2360 x 1640 at 264 pixels per inch, 500 nits maximum brightness, and True Tone support for adjusting the white balance to match ambient lighting. This means the display will have a more natural color output, resulting in a more pleasant reading experience in a range of light conditions.
Having said that, some users have reported that the screen’s automatic settings don’t seem to be working all that well. This is probably because the sensor’s calibration isn’t quite right, and you may have to recalibrate it before you can see any improvement in brightness levels.
You can also adjust the color temperature of the display, which changes when you’re in bright or dark environments. This can help to eliminate the problem of glare, and it will also make your display more readable in low-light conditions.
The Air 4’s other sensors include a 12-megapixel front camera with Center Stage, which is designed to keep you and anyone else in the frame when you’re on a video call. This technology is available in FaceTime and third-party video calling apps, and it’s a big step up from the previous models’ 5-megapixel FaceTime cameras.
Battery
The ipad air 4 lcd is the latest in Apple’s line of high-end tablets. It features a 2360×1640-pixel Liquid Retina display, an A8X chip, and a cellular connection. It should last you 10 hours of video playback or web browsing over Wi-Fi, and nine hours of web browsing over a cellular connection.
While Apple claims that the battery in the ipad air 4 lcd should last four years, lithium-ion batteries tend to lose their capacity after two or three years of use. That means that even a full charge will not last as long as it did when you first got your iPad, so it’s time to replace the battery.
Before you replace the battery, however, there are some things you can do to extend its lifespan. For starters, you should avoid power-hungry apps and services. You should also keep the iPad up-to-date with the latest iOS software.
If you’re not sure which apps and services are using the most power, Apple has a nice battery usage utility that lets you see all of them. This includes a list of foreground and background apps and the percentage of each that’s using power.
You can also add a widget to the Home screen that shows how much charge is left in your iPad’s battery. This will tell you how much longer it’ll take for your battery to reach a full charge, and can help you make sure your iPad is charged enough to get through the day.
Another way to extend the life of your iPad’s battery is to ensure that it’s always plugged in and charged. This will prevent the battery from drawing excessive power and making it run hot.
If you’re experiencing issues with the battery on your ipad air 4 lcd, it’s a good idea to have it checked by an Apple repair professional. They can tell you whether the battery is in need of replacement and whether it’s still functioning properly. They can also help you find the best battery replacement for your specific model.
Audio
The ipad air 4 lcd sports a 10-inch 2,366 x 1,242 display with an anti-reflective coating and True Tone support. Its P3 wide color support delivers rich, true-to-life colors, while its 500 nits maximum brightness helps you see your screen in any light.
The display on the ipad air 4 lcd is pretty good, but we were disappointed that it didn’t include the higher 120Hz refresh rate Apple has included on its iPad Pro models. This would have made the ipad air 4 lcd feel like more of a premium tablet than it does.
It also isn’t the sharpest or brightest display we’ve seen on an iPad, though that has more to do with the LCD than the resolution. Even at its best, the ipad air 4 lcd’s display isn’t quite as sharp as the ones on our test phablet, but it does have a very decent level of detail.
Another big improvement on the ipad air 4 lcd compared to its predecessor is the speaker performance. Instead of being positioned along just one side, the speakers on the new model are arranged in a landscape configuration ipad air 4 lcd to deliver a much better stereo experience when watching movies or streaming content.
To do that, the ipad air 4 lcd has two woofers (a small cone-like element) and two tweeters (larger cone-shaped elements), each designed to provide a crisp audio experience. The woofers help boost bass, while the tweeters are responsible for the finer details.
For example, the woofers are capable of delivering a crisp high-pitched tone that’s great for bass-heavy tracks and movie trailers, while the tweeters add a more muted, treble-focused sound that works well for vocals, guitar riffs, and synthesizers.
The ipad air 4 lcd’s other notable speaker upgrade is the improved subwoofer that helps boost lower-frequency sounds such as low-pitched kick drums and thumpy bass lines. The new subwoofer, which uses a dual-stage amplifier to boost bass and reduce treble, also has a dedicated tweeter for midrange frequencies and an integrated bass port for additional power.
The ipad air 4 lcd’s speakers can’t match the ones found on the ipad air 4 pro, but they are still impressive for a tablet. They get loud, have solid stereo separation, and when you’re holding the tablet, they’re able to provide a nice amount of bass.
