iPad Air M2 (2024): What’s in the box?

Apple has announced its new generation of the iPad Air, and this time we also have a larger 13-inch iPad Air besides the 11-inch model we know and love. So, is there also something new about the unboxing experience with these M2 iPad Airs? Well, kind of, and it’s not exactly a good thing.

Does the iPad Air M2 (2024) work with the iPad Air M1 (2022) charging brick?

In short: it does, so you don’t need to buy one in advance.

Tablet batteries have a lot more capacity than the ones found in phones though, so a 20W charger (which is what Apple includes in the box) can feel a little weak and therefore slow to charge with. If you happen to have a faster USB-C charger, a 30W one for example, it will be able to charge the iPad Air (2024) noticeably faster.

Additionally, if you have a faster charger for your MacBook it will not only be compatible with your iPad Pro, but it will also charge it considerably more quickly.
