After a few years without an update, Apple refreshed the iPad Air and Mini tablets in March of 2019. The new Air inherits the old 10.5” Pro chassis, minus two of the four speakers, and the ProMotion (120 Hz) display. The 10.5” Air comes in three colors: Silver, Space Grey, and Gold.

The most often replaced iPad Air 3 parts include the battery, screen, and headphone jack.
