The 7th gen iPad Air, released in March, represents the current generation model. It's only one year newer than the 6th gen model, with the primary upgrade being the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip. The M3 chip offers a 20% performance boost over its predecessor and is only about 20% slower than the iPad Pro's M4 chip. Beyond the chip, the iPad Air retains its stunning Ultra Retina XDR display, Wi-Fi 6E, and 5G cellular connectivity. It's compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C), and Magic Keyboard, transforming it into a versatile iOS hybrid laptop. The iPad Air also supports Apple Intelligence.
