IPad Air Refreshed with Apple M3 Chip, Apple Intelligence and New Magic Keyboards
The iPad Air has received its annual refresh, featuring an Apple M3 chip with a nerfed 9-core GPU and the same 8-core CPU. This update also includes two new Magic Keyboards that aim to transform the iPad Air into a more productive device. The new M3-powered iPad Air is available in two sizes: 11-inch and 13-inch, starting at $599 for the 11-inch model.
- This refresh marks an interesting shift by Apple, where it seems they are prioritizing productivity features over raw performance, potentially making the iPad Air a more attractive option for those who need a reliable tool for everyday tasks.
- Will the new Magic Keyboards and M3 chip combination be enough to bridge the gap between the iPad Air and other tablets in terms of overall usability and user experience?
