Apple launches a new iPad Air with M3 chip

Apple has introduced new 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air models with the M3 chip. The new iPad Air can be pre-ordered starting Tuesday, and will launch on March 12.

While the new iPad Air supports Apple Intelligence, it doesn’t feature Apple’s newest chip which is the M4. However, Apple says the iPad Air with M3 is nearly 2x faster compared to iPad Air with M1, and up to 3.5x faster than iPad Air with A14 Bionic.

The 11-inch model retails for $599 and the 13-inch costs $799. It comes in four colors.

“For everyone from college students taking notes with Apple Pencil Pro, to travelers and content creators who need powerful productivity on the go, iPad Air with M3, Apple Intelligence, and the new Magic Keyboard take versatility and value to the next level,” said Bob Borchers, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, in a press release.
