The 7th generation iPad Air, released in March, is the current model and only one year newer than the 6th generation. The primary upgrade is the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip, which offers a performance boost of about 20% over its predecessor and is just 20% slower than the iPad Pro M4 chip. It retains the stunning Ultra Retina XDR display, Wi-Fi 6E, and 5G cellular connectivity. Compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C), and Magic Keyboard, the iPad Air transforms into a versatile iOS hybrid laptop. It also supports Apple Intelligence.

"**The iPad for the rest of us**. For most people needing a tablet for gaming or movie-watching, the iPad Air hits the sweet spot. It may not be as premium as the iPad Pro, but with its beautiful display and the still-powerful M2 processor, it excels in its role."
