The 7th generation iPad Air, released in March, is the latest model and only a year newer than the 6th generation. The primary upgrade is the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip, which is about 20% faster than its predecessor and only about 20% slower than the iPad Pro's M4 chip. Alongside the M3 chip, the iPad Air retains the stunning Ultra Retina XDR display, Wi-Fi 6E, and 5G cellular connectivity. It's also compatible with 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 older 2024 model, Jacqueline Thomas described the iPad Air as "**The iPad for the rest of us**." She noted that for most users needing a tablet for games or 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 an excellent choice.
