Less than a Year after updating your iPad air with M2 chip Before that Return with an advanced version. Today, the company announced a completely new iPad Air with the M3 chipset. But the updates do not stop there – the company also unveiled its long -term refreshment of its base iPad model, adding an A16 chipset and doubled storage. All pills are available for preview today and are shipped on March 12.
The seventh generation of the iPad Air has no significant upgrade in the hardware. As with your predecessor, you will choose between the 11 and 13-inch screen size-both have narrow margins, place the Touch Touch ID in the above button, a 12-megapixel selfie camera and a 12-megapixel rear camera.
You will find significant changes under the hood. Apple updated the tablet with the M3 chip, which the company first opened in 2023, along with the MacBook Pro 14, 16 -inch and 24 -inch iMac. Since then, MacBook Air (13 -inch and 15 -inch) has been the way last year. This is not the last chip (Apple launched the M4 in May), but it is still considered powerful and relatively new.
Equipped with 8 -core CPU and 9 -core GPU, Apple claims CPU performance is up to 35 percent faster than IPAD air with M1, while graphics are up to 40 % faster. The M3 also supports features such as shadow mesh, radiation tracking and dynamic cache for graphic work.
The neural engine is 60 percent faster than the M1 for “artificial intelligence -based cargoes”. This helps the Apple Intelligence power – the company’s AI features such as summary, smart responses in messages, clearing writing tools in Apple photos, Genmoji and more. You can read everything about these features and other things in our Roundup of Macos Sequoia features.
Apple also released a new version of its magic keyboard for the iPad Air. This along with the same updates you will find in the latest version of the iPad Pro, including a larger internal track with a row of keys for functions such as screen brightness and sound control. This time is a bit more affordable, of $ 269 for the 11 -inch tablet and $ 319 for the 13 -inch version. Like the M2 iPad Air, it is also compatible with Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C).
