The 7th generation iPad Air, released in March, is the latest model. It's only one year newer than the 6th generation, with the main upgrade being the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip. The M3 chip offers a 20% performance boost over its predecessor and is just 20% slower than the iPad Pro's M4 chip. The iPad Air retains the 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, turning it into a versatile iOS hybrid laptop. Additionally, the iPad Air supports Apple Intelligence.

In her review of the older 2024 model, Jacqueline Thomas praised the iPad Air as "The iPad for the rest of us." She noted that for most users needing a tablet for gaming or movie-watching, the iPad Air hits the sweet spot. While it may not match the premium feel of the iPad Pro, its beautiful display and the still-powerful M2 processor make it a compelling choice.
