iPad Air (3rd generation) and iPad Mini (5th generation)

The iPad Air (3rd generation) (colloquially referred to as iPad Air 3) is a tablet computer developed and marketed by Apple Inc. It was announced and released on March 18, 2019, alongside the 5th-generation iPad Mini.

The device was released five years after the previous iPad Air 2, as the 5th-generation iPad, released in 2017, continued the standard iPad lineup as the successor to the 4th-generation iPad (released in 2012) and was succeeded by the 6th-generation iPad, released in 2018. The third generation iPad Air was instead positioned as a new entry in the iPad Air lineup.

The fifth-generation iPad Mini (stylized and marketed as iPad mini and colloquially referred to as iPad Mini 5) is a tablet computer in the iPad Mini line, developed and marketed by Apple Inc. Announced in a press release along with the third-generation iPad Air on March 18, 2019, and released the same day. Its predecessor, the iPad Mini 4, was discontinued on the same day.

It shares a similar design to the iPad Mini 4 and features the Apple A12 Bionic chip, 64 or 256GB storage, a more modernly upgraded 7.9-inch Retina Display with support for Apple Pencil (1st Generation), True Tone display and Bluetooth 5.0. iFixit's teardown shows this iPad Mini is equipped with an upgraded 3GB of LPDDR4X RAM, the same as the iPhone XR.
