Apple Changes Logo of its iPad Air 5(2022) from “iPad” to “iPad Air”

On Apple’s March 8 “Peek Performance” Event, Apple has officially unveiled the next generation of its iPad Air lineup with its headlining Apple Silicon, the M1 Chip, 5G connectivity and a wide variety of pastel colour options to choose from.

As pre-orders go live, keen-eyed buyers have noticed that the latest iPad Air 5th Generation (2022) features a design change that Apple has been proud of since the launch of its first iPad back in 2010. Instead of the “iPad” wording engraved under the iconic Apple logo like the older iPad Air 4(2020) and its predecessors, the latest iPad Air 5 (2022) now has the “iPad Air” wording engraved under the Apple logo.

This design change seems rather confusing as the latest M1-powered 5th Generation iPad Pros of 2021 didn’t get the unique treatment as they still have the original “iPad” branding engraved under the Apple logo, and they didn’t switch over to an “iPad Pro” branding instead. The same goes for the iPad 9th Generation (2021) and iPad Mini 6th Generation (2021) which were also launched in September last year. 

Although the change of design seems to be confusing at first, iPad Air 5 buyers were rather unbothered by the design change, as this minimal change didn’t interfere with the tablet’s other functions such as connectivity, battery life or screen quality.
