The 6th gen iPad Air was launched in 2024 and is only one generation behind the current 2025 model. The only improvement in the 2025 model is the upgrade from the M2 to M3 chip, which most users likely won't notice. The M2 chip remains one of the most powerful processors in tablets, even by today's standards. Furthermore, the 6th gen iPad Air supports Apple Intelligence, just like the newer model. Other features include a stunning 11" 2360x1640 (264ppi) Ultra Retina XDR display, Wi-Fi 6E and 5G cellular connectivity, and compatibility with the Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C), and Magic Keyboard, transforming it into a versatile iOS hybrid laptop.

"The iPad for the rest of us. For most people needing a tablet for gaming or watching movies, the iPad Air strikes the perfect balance. It may not be as premium as the iPad Pro, but with its beautiful display and robust M2 processor, it doesn't need to be."
