Does the Air 4 support the Magic Keyboard?

Yes, it supports the exact same Magic Keyboard as the 11-inch iPad Pro model.

Does it have Face ID?

No, the Air 4 uses the Touch ID fingerprint reader, which is integrated into the top power button.

Can I connect an external monitor?

Yes, you can connect a monitor (up to 4K) via the USB-C port, but extended desktop support in iPadOS is limited (mirrors the screen, except for some apps).

Can headphones be connected?

Only via a USB-C adapter or Bluetooth. There is no 3.5mm jack.

Does it support Stage Manager?

No, Stage Manager (the windowing system) requires an M1 chip (Air 5). The Air 4 has standard iPadOS multitasking.

Yes, the 12MP rear camera is very decent and can shoot 4K video.

Comparisons With Other Models

How this model differs from the competition.

UpgradevsiPad Air 3 (2019)

The Air 4 is a completely new device: the home button is gone, the design is squared off, and it charges via USB-C. It's much more modern and supports the 2nd generation Apple Pencil.

Feature	iPad Air 10.9" 4th Gen (2020)	iPad Air 3 (2019)
Design	Full-screen	With home button
Pencil	2nd gen (magnetic)	1st gen
Port	USB-C	Lightning

Cross-shopvsiPad Pro 11 (2020)

The Air 4 looks like the Pro, but lacks the 120Hz screen and Face ID. If the 60Hz screen doesn't bother you, the Air 4 is a much more affordable option with similar performance.
