The ipad air 2019 is a great step up from the ipad 2019.
Fully laminated display ipad.
The new ipad also supports apple pencil which can also be magnetically attached to the tablet as well.
Apple is using a bigger 10 9 inch liquid retina display 2360 x 1640 on this new ipad air that s fully laminated with true tone support and anti reflective coating.
Ipads with laminated screens like an ipad pro are much much more expensive to fix than ipads with a non laminated screens like an ipad 5 or 6.
The pixels count remains unchanged at 2048x1536 and apple continues to use a 9 7 inch ips lcd panel but the big change is that it now uses a laminated optically bonded display.
The top panel of our smartphones has three basic layers which consist of a display panel touch layer and top glass.
To start off with the laminated display you will be amazed by how far they ve come with the 10 5 inch ipad with their true tone display.
The new ipad air comes with a 10 9 inch fully laminated liquid retina display with all key features like true tone anti reflective coating and p3 color gamut support.
Before we discuss laminated screens we need to know about how screens work.
The display panel is present at the bottom of the sandwich followed by the touch layer.
We fix quite a few ipads for schools and have some thoughts on why if you re buying in bulk you should purchase an ipad that has as apple calls it a non laminated screen instead of a laminated ipad screen.
Its fully laminated display reduces the gap between the screen and glass so you feel as if you re drawing directly on the display.
The reason is simple.
Compare resolution size weight performance battery life and storage of ipad pro ipad air ipad and ipad mini models.
With this model you get a slightly larger display 10 5 inches versus 10 2 inches an advanced chip and more available storage.
There was no new larger ipad pro but apple unveiled a new ipad air 2 and continues to focus on picture quality and display technology.
The ipad air will be available in silver space gray rose gold green and sky blue colors with a fully laminated display that should reduce reflections with its special coating.
I can t use any other device when reading because of that.
That s not available with the 2018 ipad.
