The Apple iPad Air (5th generation) in detail
How many years of updates does the Apple iPad Air (5th generation) get?
In its PSTI statement, Apple gives March 18, 2022 as the date this model first went on sale in the UK. The brand commits to supporting it for at least 5 years from then, which means until March 18, 2027.
That leaves at least 5 months of guaranteed patches.
Going by its past models, Apple kept the middle half of its tablets in our database supported for between 6 years and 10 months and 9 years and 3 months. Applied to this model, released in March 2022, that would put the end between 2029 and 2031. This is an estimate from the brand's track record, not an announcement.
Do I need to do anything with my Apple iPad Air (5th generation)?
Nothing urgent. Support is guaranteed until at least March 18, 2027. Keep automatic updates switched on, because a patch only protects you once it's installed. If an end date is published, the alert above will tell you.
