Apple's latest iPad Air refresh is minor, with only the transition from the M2 to M3 chip and a redesign of the Magic Keyboard marking significant updates. The M3 chip enhances performance with its 8-core CPU and 9-core GPU, offering modest gains visible in demanding applications and 3D games. While it's a step up from the M2, most users won't notice a difference. The significant addition is support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing and AV1 video codec. Overall, the changes cater to a small segment of demanding users rather than the average audience.
The M3 chip offers modest improvements over the M2, primarily benefiting demanding applications, while the design largely remains unchanged from the previous iPad Air.
Big gains will be noticeable for users transitioning from M1 or older A-series chips, but for most, the performance boost is subtle.
