  • With the 10.5-ification of this Air, the updated display gets Apple Pencil support—but only second-class, leaving the new Pencil 2 exclusively to the Pro line.

  • We also spot some extra adhesive near the top of the screen—aww, Apple you shouldn't have. No, seriously.

  • Responsible for turning your finger pokes into ones and zeroes, we have:

  • Likely Renesas (formerly Intersil) ISL24882B 8-Ch. TFT-LCD reference voltage generator w/ integrated EEPROM (seen in the 10.5" Pro)

  • Parade Technologies DP825 timing controller (previously seen in the 10.5" Pro)

  • Texas Instruments TPS65195 level shifter (seen in the Mini 5)

  • The size is similar, the Pencil support is similar, and the chips are similar to the 10.5" Pro. However, the Air is missing one notable Pro feature—the cool ProMotion 120 Hz display.

Nachdem dieses Air nun über 10,5" verfügt, hat das verbesserte Display auch Unterstützung für den Apple Pencil erhalten, aber nur zweitklassige, der neue Pencil 2 ist ganz exklusiv nur der Pro Reihe vorbehalten.

Wir entdecken auch etwas zusätzlichen Kleber nahe der Oberkante des Displays. Ganz ehrlich, Apple, das war doch wirklich nicht nötig.

Und jetzt das Ganze mal in Einsen und Nullen:

Intersil 24882B (wie im 10,5" Pro)

Parade Technologies DP825 Timing Controller (wie bereits im 10,5"Pro)

Texas Instruments TPS65195 Level Shifter (wie im Mini 5)

Die Größe, die Pencil-Halterung sowie die Chips sind ähnlich wie beim 10,5" Pro. Allerdings fehlt dem Air ein wichtiges Pro-Feature, nämlich das coole ProMotion 120 Hz Display.
