Released in March, the 7th generation iPad Air is the latest model, only a year newer than its predecessor, the 6th generation. The primary upgrade is the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip, which offers about a 20% performance boost and is just 20% slower than the iPad Pro's M4 chip. The iPad Air retains the stunning Ultra Retina XDR display, Wi-Fi 6E, and 5G cellular connectivity. It is 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.
In a review of the previous model, Jacqueline Thomas noted, "**The iPad for the rest of us**. For most people who need a tablet for gaming or watching movies, the iPad Air hits the sweet spot. 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."
