The first-generation iPad Air was the first thinner and lighter iPad with a 9.7-inch screen. At that time, it was loved by many fruit fans. Now the latest model is the 2022 iPad Air 5. The Thunderbolt Display is a high-end display with a 27-inch screen, which has now been replaced by the Studio Display in 2022.
