The 7th generation iPad Air was released in March and represents the latest model. It's just one year newer than the 6th generation and the primary upgrade is the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip. The M3 chip offers about a 20% performance boost over its predecessor and is only about 20% slower than the iPad Pro's M4 chip. Besides the new chip, 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.

In a review of the older 2024 model, Jacqueline Thomas noted, "**The iPad for the rest of us**. For most people who need their tablet to play games or watch movies, the iPad Air is the sweet spot. It might not be as premium as the iPad Pro, but with its beautiful display and still-powerful M2 processor, it just doesn’t need to be."
