The iPad Air 5 brought with it some key upgrades, including an improved 12Mp front-facing camera, 5G connectivity and the same M1 chipset as the iPad Pro and Apple\u2019s MacBook line, but it\u2019s safe to assume that Apple is hard at work on the next-gen iPad Air behind closed doors at Apple Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While it\u2019s early days, we cover all there is to know about the iPad Air 6 right now, including release date and pricing speculation based on previous releases and our wishlist of features we\u2019d love to see on the next-gen tablet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When will the iPad Air 6 be released?
\nWhile you might be excited by the idea of the prospect of an update to the popular iPad Air 5, there\u2019s some bad news: you\u2019ll likely be waiting a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike Apple\u2019s iPhone range, which is updated every year, the iPad range has a longer upgrade cycle, meaning you shouldn\u2019t expect the next iPad for quite some time. What we can do, however, is predict when to expect the tablet to appear based on previous releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The iPad Air 3 was revived back in March 2019 after a five-year hiatus, with the iPad Air 4 following 18 months later in September 2020. There was a similar pattern with the release of the iPad Air 5, which came 18 months after the release of the iPad Air 4 in March 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With all that being said, it\u2019s safe to assume that Apple has an 18-month upgrade cycle for the iPad Air, leading us to believe that the iPad Air 6 will be released in September 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ll update this section as soon as we hear any concrete news, but based on the above, we wouldn\u2019t expect that for a while yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If that\u2019s too far, take a look at our iPad Air 5 (2022) review to see whether it\u2019s worth buying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How much will the iPad Air 6 cost?
\nThe iPad Air 4 saw a sharp price hike when it was redesigned in 2020, but we can\u2019t see Apple rising the price any further \u2013 it\u2019s very much a premium tablet at its current \u00a3569\/$599 starting price, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The iPad Air 5 matched the pricing of its predecessor (and was actually \u00a310 cheaper in the UK!) and bar any currency exchange rate fluctuations, it\u2019s unlikely that the iPad Air will change in price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For reference, here\u2019s how much the current iPad Air range costs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
iPad Air (64GB, Wi-Fi): \u00a3569\/$599
iPad Air (256GB, Wi-Fi): \u00a3719\/$749
iPad Air (64GB, Wi-Fi & Cellular): \u00a3719\/$749
iPad Air (256GB, Wi-Fi & Cellular): \u00a3869\/$899
