The 7th generation iPad Air, released in March, is the latest model and features a significant upgrade from the M2 to the M3 chip. The M3 chip offers 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 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 needing a tablet for gaming or movie watching, the iPad Air hits the sweet spot. It may not match the premium feel of the iPad Pro, but with its beautiful display and the still-powerful M2 processor, it doesn't need to."
