The 7th generation iPad Air, released in March, is the latest model and features a significant upgrade from the M2 to the M3 chip, which is about 20% faster than its predecessor and only about 20% slower than the iPad Pro's M4 chip. Despite the new chip, the iPad Air retains the stunning Ultra Retina XDR display, Wi-Fi 6E, and 5G cellular connectivity. It's also 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, enhancing its functionality.
In her review of the older 2024 model, Jacqueline Thomas praised the iPad Air, stating, "**The iPad for the rest of us**. For most people who need their tablet for gaming or watching movies, the iPad Air strikes the perfect balance. While it may not match the premium feel of the iPad Pro, its beautiful display and the still-powerful M2 processor make it an excellent choice."
