The 7th generation iPad Air, released in March, is the latest model. It's only one year newer than the 6th generation and features a significant upgrade from the M2 to the M3 chip. The M3 chip offers about a 20% performance boost over its predecessor and is only about 20% slower than the iPad Pro's M4 chip. The iPad Air retains its stunning Ultra Retina XDR display, supports Wi-Fi 6E and 5G cellular connectivity, and is compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C), and Magic Keyboard, transforming it into an 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 their tablet for gaming or watching movies, the iPad Air hits the sweet spot. It might not be as premium as the iPad Pro, but with its beautiful display and the still-powerful M2 processor, it truly doesn't need to be."
