The 7th generation iPad Air, released in March, represents the latest model. It's only one year newer than the 6th generation, with the primary upgrade being the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip. The M3 chip offers a performance boost of about 20% over its predecessor and is only about 20% slower than the iPad Pro's M4 chip. Beyond the processor, the iPad Air retains the 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. It also supports Apple Intelligence.

In her review of the older 2024 model, Jacqueline Thomas noted, "**The iPad for the rest of us**. For most people needing a tablet for games or movies, the iPad Air hits the sweet spot. It may not match the iPad Pro's premium feel, but with its beautiful display and the still-powerful M2 processor, it's more than sufficient."
