A year ago, Apple released the iPad Air featuring the M3 chip. Everyone’s needs, of course, grow, so why not the new iPad? Today, alongside the new iPhone 17e, Apple has launched the new iPad Air with the M4 chip.

For the last three iterations, Apple has been on schedule for its iPad Air updates. The M2 chip arrived in 2024, and the M3 arrived last year. Now, it’s the M4 chip’s turn. Using this chip, the new iPad Air features an 8-core CPU and a 9-core GPU. It’s supposed to be 30 percent faster than the previous Air.

There’s also much better speed with 12GB of unified memory and 120GB/s of memory bandwidth. This pairs well with iOS 26, which allows faster windowing.

Likewise, the 12-megapixel Center Stage camera, mics, and speakers make it perfect for calls.

The tablet features the Apple-designed N1 wireless chip, which enables Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread connectivity. However, the cellular models will also have the new C1X modem, which delivers 50 percent faster data performance.

Like others in the lineup, the new tablet will support accessories that squeeze more productivity and creativity from the powerful tablet. This includes the Apple Pencil, Apple Pencil Pro, and the Magic Keyboard.

The new iPad Air with M4 is available for preorder on March 4 and will ship out starting March 11. The 11- and 13-inch models will come in configurations of 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. It will come in four colorway options: blue, purple, starlight, and space gray.
