Apple announced the latest iPad Air, and this time we get two instead of one. Besides the 11-inch M2 model, buyers can also choose a 13-inch M2 iPad Air that comes with a bigger display and better speakers.
As for the cameras on these two 2024 iPad Airs, there is not much noteworthy besides a small, but effective design choice regarding the selfie camera.

iPad Air M2 (2024) specs in a nutshell
Unfortunately, Apple didn't upgrade any of the camera sensors on its two new iPad Air models.
| iPad Air M2 (2024) model | Main camera | Front-facing camera |
|---|---|---|
| 11" iPad Air (2024) | 12MP | 12MP |
| 12.9" iPad Air (2024) | 12MP | 12MP |
iPad Air M2 (2024) camera upgrades
Both the 11" iPad Air M2 (2024) and the 13" iPad Air M2 (2024) have a single camera at the back, just like the predecessor. For reference, the iPad Air from 2022 came with a 12MP camera at the back, capable of shooting 4K video at 60FPS and 1080p up to 240FPS.
However, it is a tablet's front camera that is arguably more important for the user experience, as it is often used for video calls and conferences. Sadly, no selfie camera upgrades for the new iPad Airs. In other words, it is the same 12MP ultra wide camera with a 122˚ field of view.
Apple has, however, finally positioned the iPad Air's selfie camera in the center of one of the iPad Air's sides, instead at the top center. This way, when you hold or place the tablet horizontally during video calls or while using apps that use the front camera, you won't end up blocking it.
How many cameras does the iPad Air M2 (2024) have?
The regular 11-inch iPad Air (2024) and the larger 13-inch iPad Air (2024) come with one camera at the back, and another camera at the front. In total, that's two cameras.
How many megapixels is the iPad Air M2 (2024) camera?
The single camera at the back of the iPad Air M2 (2024) is expected 12MP, and the front-facing camera embedded in its display is 12MP as well. That means no changes compared to the previous generation.
