Apple’s New iPad Air with M3 Chip: What You Need to Know
(And yes, pre-orders start today.)
Here’s what’s new:
Sizes: 11-inch & 13-inch models.
Starting price: $599 (11”) | $799 (13”).
Colors: Blue, Purple, Starlight, Space Gray.
Storage: Up to 1TB.
How does it compare?
Apple claims it’s 2x faster than the M1 model and 3.5x faster than the A14 Bionic. However, it doesn’t feature the new M4 chip—which might make some buyers think twice.
Apple Intelligence + Magic Keyboard Upgrade
Apple is also rolling out an updated Magic Keyboard with a larger trackpad, a new function row, and an aluminum hinge.
Starting at: $269 (11”) | $319 (13”)
But here’s the kicker:
Apple isn’t comparing it to last year’s M2 model. So… how much of an upgrade is it really?
