Apple iPad Air 13 M4 结论

Apple第八代 iPad Air 13 表现出色。这主要归功于速度惊人的Apple M4:即使在顶级平板电脑中,你也无法获得更强的动力,而 iPad Air 通常足以完成要求非常苛刻的任务。

在日常使用中,你可以获得绝对流畅的操作,只是 60 Hz 的屏幕现在已经明显过时,在输入和屏幕响应之间产生了极小但明显的延迟。

这款平板电脑在欧洲的价格较上一代产品有所下降,这一点令人欣喜,但Apple iPad Air 13 在 2026 年也并不便宜。

其他值得批评的地方包括充电速度慢、可用的蓝牙音频编解码器少以及保修期短。

不过,除此之外,iPad Air 13 还是 iPad Pro 的一个非常有趣的替代品,你可以用它省下一大笔钱。不过,就性能而言,iPad Air 13 在日常使用中几乎没有任何损失。

外壳和功能 - 另一款高品质一体成型机身

今年的机身也几乎没有任何变化:尺寸和重量都与上一代产品相同。

此外,它还采用了高质量的一体式机身,可选择太空灰、蓝色、紫色或极星色(浅米色)。平板电脑的防尘防水等级为 IP42,但这对于真正肮脏或潮湿的环境来说还远远不够。

快速 USB 端口的数据吞吐量为 10 GBit/s。它最多可连接两台外接显示器(最大 6016 x 3384,60Hz)。

可提供以下内存版本

  • 12 GB RAM、128 GB ROM:849 欧元(WiFi)/1019 欧元(WiFi + 蜂窝)(~997 美元/~1197 美元)
  • 12GB RAM、256GB ROM:979 欧元(WiFi)/1149 欧元(WiFi + 手机)(~1150 美元/~1350 美元)
  • 12GB RAM、512GB ROM:1229 欧元(WiFi)/1399 欧元(WiFi + 手机)(~1444 美元/~1643 美元)
  • 12 GB RAM、1 TB ROM:1479 欧元(WiFi)/1649 欧元(WiFi + 手机)(~1737 美元/~1937 美元)

与前代产品相比,所有机型在欧洲的售价均降低了 100 欧元(约合 118 美元)。此外,12 GB RAM 也始终如一。

通信和操作 - 快速 WiFi 7

iPad Air 13 现在可以根据 WiFi 7 标准设置 WiFi 网络,在使用我们的参考路由器华硕 ROG Rapture GT-BE19000 进行的测试中,速度也快如离弦之箭,最高可达 1,791 MBit/s,而且连接非常稳定。

对于 5G 版本,有一个名为 C1X 的新Apple 调制解调器,可为 5G 和 LTE 提供 4x4 MIMO。仅兼容 eSIM 卡。

触摸屏非常可靠,但由于屏幕仍然只能显示每秒 60 帧的画面,操作起来不如高端平板电脑流畅。

Apple Pencil 和 Pencil Pro 再次获得支持,可提供精细的压力级别和无延迟的精确识别。

软件和可持续性 - 可能需要长期更新

iPadOS 26 是预装的最新版操作系统。Apple 没有承诺任何更新,但根据以前的设备,可以肯定至少有六年的更新时间。

在可持续发展方面,Apple 与其他制造商相比毫不逊色,信息全面,回收率高。

照相机 - 无变化

录制前置摄像头
录制前置摄像头

前置和后置摄像头均为 1200 万像素。这些摄像头能拍摄出不错的照片,但与现代智能手机相比,几乎没有竞争力。

在功能方面没有任何变化,因此我们推荐您参考 iPad Air 13 2025 测试进行测试。

显示屏 - 无 PWM,色彩丰富

iPad Air 13 的 IPS 屏幕亮度超过 600 cd/m²,足够在室内使用,也可在室外使用。只有在非常明亮的环境中,屏幕内容才会出现强烈的反光。

4:3 格式非常适合日常使用,屏幕分辨率也非常高。

色彩准确度令人印象深刻,而且没有 PWM 闪烁。去年,我们已经批评过 60 Hz 的慢速面板已经跟不上时代的步伐,遗憾的是,现在也没有任何改变。

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 52 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 7901 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
19.5 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 5 ms rise
↘ 14.5 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 43 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (20 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
18.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 4.6 ms rise

The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 32 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (31.2 ms).

性能、排放和电池寿命--蛮力

Apple-M4 处理器有八个内核,比去年 iPad Air 的 M3 处理器性能更强。这为平板电脑提供了绝对顶级的性能,甚至可以与最昂贵的Android 平板电脑媲美。

在日常使用中,iPad Air 运行绝对流畅,即使是要求很高的任务也能顺利完成。游戏也不成问题,只是 60 Hz 的显示频率限制了更流畅的显示效果。

不过,SoC 在长时间负载后会出现明显的节流现象,有时会损失近 40% 的性能。由于输出功率较高,在运行过程中很难察觉到这一点。

立体声扬声器的音量相当大,声音温暖而平衡。不过,只有少数蓝牙音频编解码器可用于扬声器或耳机的无线连接。

Android 平板电脑有时可以达到更长的续航时间。不过,电池电量应该足够在沙发上使用一天。

充满电需要 2 个多小时。
