The 7th generation iPad Air, released in March, represents the latest model. It's just one year newer than the 6th generation, with the primary upgrade being the transition from the M2 to the more powerful M3 chip. The M3 chip offers a 20% performance increase over its predecessor and is only about 20% less powerful than the iPad Pro's M4 chip. Additionally, the iPad Air retains its stunning Ultra Retina XDR display, Wi-Fi 6E, and 5G cellular connectivity. It's compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C), and Magic Keyboard, transforming it into a versatile iOS hybrid laptop. The iPad Air also supports Apple Intelligence, enhancing its functionality.

In her review of the older 2024 model, Jacqueline Thomas described the iPad Air as "The iPad for the rest of us. For most people needing a tablet for gaming or movie-watching, the iPad Air strikes the perfect balance. It may not match the premium feel of the iPad Pro, but with its beautiful display and robust M2 processor, it truly excels in its category."
