The 7th gen iPad Air, released in March, is the latest in the series, only one year newer than the 6th gen model. The significant upgrade here is the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip, offering about a 20% performance increase and coming in just 20% slower than the iPad Pro's M4 chip. Besides the chip upgrade, the iPad Air retains the stunning Ultra Retina XDR display, Wi-Fi 6E, and 5G cellular connectivity. It is fully compatible with accessories like the Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C), and Magic Keyboard, transforming it into a versatile iOS hybrid laptop. Additionally, it supports Apple Intelligence.

In her review of the 2024 iPad Air model, Jacqueline Thomas stated, "**The iPad for the rest of us**. For most people who need their tablet for gaming or streaming movies, the iPad Air hits the sweet spot. It might not match the premium feel of the iPad Pro, but with its beautiful display and still-powerful M2 processor, it doesn't need to."
