The 7th generation iPad Air was released in March and is the current model. It's only one year newer than the 6th generation model, with the major upgrade being the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip. The M3 chip is about 20% faster than its predecessor and only about 20% slower than the iPad Pro M4 chip. The iPad Air retains the same 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 an iOS hybrid laptop. Additionally, the iPad Air 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**. For most people who need their tablet for gaming or watching movies, the iPad Air hits the sweet spot. It may not be as premium as the iPad Pro, but with its beautiful display and the still-powerful M2 processor, it doesn't need to be."
