The AppleiPad Air 4has won theTrusted Reviews Awards 2021Best Tablet Editor’s Choice Award.

The iPad Air hedged off strong competition from theiPad Pro (2021)andAmazon Fire HD 10 Kids Editionto 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’siPhone 12 Pro Maxwon the Best Camera Phone category.
