TL;DR
- The new iPad Air features the M4 SoC, providing a 30% speed boost and an increase in RAM to 12GB.
- Connectivity sees a major overhaul with the C1X cellular modem, Wi-Fi 7, and Thread support.
- Pricing remains unchanged: $599 for the 11-inch model and $799 for the 13-inch model.
Alongside the iPhone 17e, Apple has also refreshed the iPad Air, one of the best tablets for most users. In typical Apple fashion, this is a modest chip upgrade without any major changes to a formula that continues to sell like hotcakes. Thankfully, the price remains flat, making it a better option for anyone in the market for a new iPad Air, but an easy skip for people who still have a working iPad Air from a generation or two ago.
