Since last year, the iPad Air is not only available in an 11-inch version, but also with a larger 13-inch display. Today, Apple announces new models with a more powerful M3 chip.
The 7th generation iPad Air is the ‘cheaper’ brother of the iPad Pro and has a similar design, but in stylish colors and a single camera. The new iPad Air offers support for Apple Intelligence, Apple Pencil Pro and is compatible with the new Magic keyboard for iPad.
iPad Air in two sizes
The iPad Air 7th generation is available in four stylish colors and retains the design of last year. In addition to an 11-inch version, there is also a larger variant available with a 13-inch display. Both models have a Liquid Retina display whose screen edges are the same. The brightness of the LCD display is 500 Nits for the 11-inch model and 600 nits for 13-inch iPad Air.
New is the refresh rate of 90Hz instead of 60Hz. The big advantage is that scrolling goes smoother and animations, games and videos are displayed a lot smoother. The iPad Pro models have a promotion display with a Refresh rate of 120Hz.
On the back you can find a few 12 -MP wide -angle camera with an aperture of ƒ/1.8 and a Smart Connector. The iPad has an ultra -wide (122º) selfie camera of twelve megapixels with support for the center.
M3 Processor, 5G and USB-C
The iPad Air is equipped with the super fast M3 processor and promises towering performance. This is due to the 8-core CPU, 9-core graphics and 16-core neural engine. This makes the Air not only faster, but can also perform more complex tasks.
Thanks to the new processor, the iPad Air performs even better in combination with Apple Intelligence. This is not special, because the iPad Air with M1 and M2 chip can also use Apple Intelligence.
Just like with all iPad models, you can opt for an iPad Air 7th generation with only WiFi or a version with WiFi and Cellular including 5G support.
To charge the iPad you can use a faster USB-C connection. In addition to charging, you can also use external screens, hard drives and peripherals on the iPad with this port. At the back we find a smart connector so that you can also use cases and accessories with the mini.
Magic keyboard for iPad
The Magic keyboard for iPad looks like its predecessor, but is equipped with an upgrade. The keyboard has a slim and handy new design with aluminum wrist support. There is a row of function keys on the keyboard, and the larger glass trackpad gives you tangible feedback with precision tasks and Multi-Touch gestures. The Magic Keyboard still has a floating design. You click your iPad Pro Magnetic and then put it in the perfect viewing angle.
You type very pleasantly with it, and with the integrated larger trackpad you can get started in iPados in a completely different way. The USB-C port is also suitable for charging, and your iPad is protected from front to back.
The Smart Keyboard Folio for iPad remains available for the iPad Air and has remained unchanged. This is a comfortable keyboard without a trackpad. Ideal for the moments that you want to type longer texts. Then you fold it back and you have a stylish cover that protects the for and back.
