Does iPad Air 5 Work With The Apple Pencil (And Does It Come With One)?
The Apple Pencil is one of the best accessories for the iPad Pro and iPad mini — but does it also work with the iPad Air 5? Apple's iPad lineup is better today than it's ever been. At the lowest end is the baseline iPad. It has an aging design and OK specs, but at just $329, it's an outstanding value. Then there's the iPad mini. It has better specs, a modernized design, and crams all of that into an ultra-compact body. And, of course, there's the iPad Pro. The iPad Pro is big and expensive, but it's also the most powerful iPad money can buy.

Sitting in the middle of all of that is the iPad Air. It's a little pricier than the iPad mini, but it has a much larger screen, similarly great specs, and costs considerably less than the iPad Pro. The latest iPad Air 5 is the best one Apple's ever made. It has the excellent M1 processor, a 10.9-inch display, optional 5G connectivity, and a sleek design with slim bezels. Add all of that together for a $599 price tag, and it's quite the package.
