5th generation v 6th generation

The 5th generation iPad was released in 2017, and discontinued in 2018. 

The 6th generation iPad was released in 2018, and discontinued in 2019

On the other hand, the 5th generation iPad Air was released in 2022, and is still currently available. While you are correct that it does not have Face ID, I assure you it is newer and a much improved product than either of the models listed above. 

The iPad Air fifth generation is the current version. It has a very powerful M1 chip. It is much faster than for example than the iPad Pro, ninth generation. The M1 chip are the chips that are in MacBooks.

I am getting an iPad Air fifth generation to replace my iPad Air fourth generation.

Apple has not announced any new iPads.

As with any tech hardware, there is always the possibility

that something newer will soon be available. If you need

an iPad Air now, make your purchase; if not, decide how

long you will wait before buying to see if something new

comes along.

Do you have any idea when the iPad Air 6th generation is coming out? Is it worth getting the iPad Air 5th generation first or wait for the 6th generation? Thank you.

Apple has made no announcement regarding a new model, thus no one here will know.

You verify the specifications of all iPad models here:

iPad - Compare Models - Apple

Here you will see that the iPad Air5 has an Apple M1 CPU/SoC. At present, the only iPad models with an M2 CPU/SoC are the current model iPad Pro 11" and 12.9".
