characteristics, price and technical file

Without making noise and without too much fanfare, Apple has just presented not one, but two iPad: iPad (2025) with processor Apple A16 And the one that concerns us in this text: iPad Air with M3 chip. There are no major changes at the design level (in the end the iPad is a very optimized recipe), so the most relevant improvement is in the new processor and what this means in terms of power and artificial intelligence.

The device will be available from March 12 and its price will be exactly the same as the iPad Air with M2: From 699 euros. Without further delay, we will know him better.

The same iPad on the outside

As far as outside, we are talking about exactly the same device as last year. Is exactly the same in Dimensions, screen and weight. Equal. Thus, we are talking about a tablet available in two sizes (11 and 13 inches) that stands out for its little thickness of just 6.1 millimeters. The rear is simple, clean, as Apple has accustomed us.

As for the screen, Apple has chosen to maintain what has worked so well so far. Thus, we have 11 and 13 -inch panels with 2,360 x 1,640 pixels and 2,732 x 2.048 resolution pixels, respectively, that continue to move at 60 Hz. The most remarkable thing is their compatibility with the Apple Pencil, both normal and the PRO, and with the new Magic Keyboard.

A more powerful engine

The key, therefore, is inside. Apple is very clear to whom this tablet is directed and it is the users of a iPad Air with M1 Chipbut above all those who still have a iPad Air with Chip A14. The M3 chip is twice as quickly as the M1 and up to three times faster than the A14.

The M3 chip has eight nuclei (four performance and four efficiency), a nine -core GPU and, most importantly, A 16 -core NPU. The NPU is in charge of all artificial intelligence tasks, and that, in the Age of Apple Intelligence, is very important. The M3 chip also brings a new architecture of graphics that should greatly improve games in games.

As Apple explained, the neural engine of the M3 chip is 60 times more powerful than that of the M1 chip, something to take into account if we are doing tasks or use low workflows. For the rest, the AI ​​of the iPad falls on the functions we already know about Apple Intelligencesuch as photo editing, emojis generation and writing help tools.

As for the battery, the same capacity as the previous models, so we can expect a similar autonomy and even somewhat higher courtesy of the efficiency of the new processor. The load is executed by USB type Cas is normal in the devices of the Cupertino company.
