Does iPad Air 5 have 120Hz?

Delve into the visual experience of the iPad Air 5th Generation and its display features, including a closer look at whether this model incorporates a 120Hz refresh rate for enhanced fluidity and responsiveness.

The iPad Air offers a video experience at 120Hz

The fifth-generation iPad Air is capable of recording slow-motion video in a way that many people may not know about. While the display refresh rate on these devices is 60Hz, they can actually record video at 120 frames per second – for an even better slow motion effect. Interestingly, this can also be done with 240 recordings per second although the resolution will be reduced from 4K to 1080p. This time-stretching technology results in slower playback and means that the content displayed on the screen of an iPad Air 5 can only happen a maximum of sixty times each second.

Although a 60Hz display may not always differentiate itself from other iPads and devices with faster refresh rates, such as ones with a 120Hz screen refresh found on iPad Pro models, it’s easier to recognize differences while quickly scrolling through long pages of information or continuously looking for sections related to specific topics. This smoother update progression makes it less straining on one’s eyes and helps make reading simpler and more enjoyable.

Which iPads have a display with a refresh rate of 120Hz?

The 120Hz display offers a smoother and more responsive experience compared to the standard 60Hz displays found on most Apple devices. This is especially evident when scrolling or swiping through menus. With 120Hz, animations appear slower, allowing for an overall more enjoyable experience. Apple has restricted this technology to its Pro models, including iPhones such as the iPhone 13 Pro and later, iPads such as the iPad Pro 10.5-inch, 11-inch, and 12.9-inch (2nd generation and later), and also to select Macs such as the MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch (2021 and later). However, not all products have been upgraded to a 120Hz display yet; for instance, the iPad Air and MacBook Air still feature the standard 60Hz refresh rate screens.

It’s easy to tell when you have a device with a 120Hz display thanks to its higher pixel density which enables clearer images and videos than those featured with regular 60Hz displays. Additionally, some apps are able to make full use of the 120fps capability provided by such technology for fluid interactions within them. For example by enabling smoother scrolling or transitioning between pages or app elements.
