Apple Monday uncovered The new iPad Air is powered by the M4 chip.
The company claims that the device has been designed to be faster, thanks to an updated neural engine and more memory, which makes the use of AI more efficient. This Air is said to be 30% faster than the M3 iPad Air and 2.3x faster than the M1 model.
However, the new device is still being sold at the same price of $599 for the 11-inch model, and $799 for the 13-inch model. For educational customers, the discount brings the price to $549 for the 11-inch iPad Air, while the 13-inch model starts at $749.
The iPad Air now has an 8-core CPU and a 9-core GPU, which makes it a good choice for games or graphics and photo editing. Meanwhile, the device’s memory has increased by 50%, up to 12GB, and the memory bandwidth has now reached 120GB/s, which Apple says will help users run AI models faster than previous devices.
The 16-core Neural Engine is also supposed to be 3x faster than the one in the M1, which helps run AI modes on devices.
The refreshed Air brings support for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, and is powered by the company’s new wireless and cellular chips, the N1 and C1X. The devices are still the same as before, at 9.74 x 7.02 inches for the 11-inch model and 11.04 x 8.46 inches for the 13-inch model.
We get a front, 12MP Center Stage camera and a 12MP Wide camera on the back. As always, you can use Apple accessories with the device, such as the Magic Keyboard, Apple Pencil, or Apple Pencil Pro.
The redesigned iPad Air will be available to order on Wednesday, March 4, on Apple.com and through the Apple Store app in 35 countries and territories, including four US finishes: blue, purple, starlight, and gray. Storage options are 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB.
