The 7th generation iPad Air was launched in March and represents the current model line-up. It's only one generation newer than the previous release, with the main upgrade being the shift from the M2 to the more powerful M3 chip. This new M3 processor delivers approximately 20% faster performance compared to its predecessor, and is only about 20% slower than the top-tier iPad Pro M4 chip. Beyond that, the iPad Air retains the same stunning Ultra Retina XDR display, Wi-Fi 6E, and optional 5G connectivity. It also supports accessories like the Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C), and Magic Keyboard, transforming it into a versatile iOS hybrid laptop. Plus, it’s fully compatible with Apple Intelligence, making it smarter than ever.
Apple iPad Air (2024) Review (older model) by Jacqueline Thomas
"The iPad for the rest of us. For most users who need a tablet for gaming or streaming media, the iPad Air strikes the perfect balance. While it may not have all the premium features of the iPad Pro, its beautiful display and capable M2 chip make it more than enough for everyday use."
