Apple has refreshed the iPad Air lineup, introducing M3-powered 11-inch and 13-inch models that promise faster performance and improved graphics, thanks to hardware-accelerated ray tracing. This upgrade makes the iPad Air more capable for gaming, creative work, and everyday tasks.
A key addition is the redesigned Magic Keyboard, now featuring a larger trackpad and function keys for quick access to brightness and volume controls. It magnetically attaches via the Smart Connector, eliminating Bluetooth pairing and adding a USB-C port for pass-through charging.
While the design remains familiar, the new iPad Air retains a 12MP front camera with Center Stage, a 12MP rear camera, USB-C with 10 Gbps transfer speeds, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3. Storage ranges from 128GB to 1TB, and battery life remains unchanged. Apple Intelligence is also supported on M1 and newer models, bringing AI-powered enhancements.
Pre-orders start today, with availability beginning March 12. Pricing remains at $599 for the 11-inch model and $799 for the 13-inch version, available in Space Gray, Starlight, Blue, and Purple.
The new Magic Keyboard, now in white, is priced at $269 for the smaller model and $319 for the larger one.
