Trusted Reviews Awards 2021: The iPad Air 4 is this year’s Best Tablet
The Apple iPad Air 4 has won the Trusted Reviews Awards 2021 Best Tablet Editor’s Choice Award.
The iPad Air hedged off strong competition from the iPad Pro (2021) and Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Edition to win the prize. The device wowed Deputy and Mobile Editor Max Parker, scoring a perfect 5/5 when he reviewed the iPad Air 4 at the end of last year.
In it he praised its lightweight, design, stellar screen, reliable battery life and excellent software, concluding:
“The iPad Air 4 is a truly excellent tablet, especially for the £599/$599 price. It even makes the iPad Pro 11-inch a tough sell, as the only real benefit is the faster display (among other smaller differences like the addition of LiDAR).
“Thanks to the new design, excellent fingerprint sensor, great accessory support and USB-C, the iPad Air 4 is the best tablet you can buy right now.”
Best Tablet is the second win Apple’s secured at this year’s Trusted Reviews Awards. Apple’s iPhone 12 Pro Max won the Best Camera Phone category.
