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

In her review of the 2024 model, Jacqueline Thomas praised the iPad Air, stating, "**The iPad for the rest of us**. For most people needing a tablet for gaming or streaming movies, the iPad Air hits the sweet spot. While it may not match the premium feel of the iPad Pro, its beautiful display and powerful M2 processor make it a compelling choice."
