The 7th generation iPad Air, released in March, is the latest model. It's only one year newer than the 6th generation and the primary upgrade is the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip. The M3 chip offers about a 20% performance boost over the M2 and is roughly 20% slower than the iPad Pro's M4 chip. Other features remain unchanged, including the stunning Ultra Retina XDR display, Wi-Fi 6E, and 5G cellular connectivity. It's compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C), and Magic Keyboard, transforming it into a versatile iOS hybrid laptop. Additionally, it supports Apple Intelligence.
Apple iPad Air (2024) Review (older model) by Jacqueline Thomas
"The iPad for the rest of us. For most people who need a tablet to play games or watch movies, the iPad Air hits the sweet spot. It may not be as premium as the iPad Pro, but with its beautiful display and still-powerful M2 processor, it's all you need."
