Power Meets Portability with the M3 Chip

The Apple 13″ iPad Air, now powered by the M3 chip, delivers a substantial leap in performance and is fully optimized for Apple Intelligence. The advanced 8-core CPU and 9-core GPU provide up to 35% faster processing and up to 40% faster graphics compared to the previous M1 model. Built on Apple’s next-generation architecture, the M3 brings support for ray tracing, dynamic caching, and hardware-accelerated mesh shading—making the iPad Air ideal for demanding creative workflows, immersive gaming, and more. With 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, this iPad Air offers the speed and capacity you need, all in a thin and lightweight design with all-day battery life.

Designed for Apple Intelligence

Built for Apple Intelligence, the iPad Air helps you write, communicate, and create with powerful AI features—while keeping your data private and secure. Use Writing Tools to rewrite, summarize, or proofread your text. With Image Wand and Image Playground, you can transform rough sketches into visuals or generate custom images based on prompts or people in your Photos library. The new Clean Up tool in the Photos app also lets you remove unwanted elements from your images with a tap.

It’s also perfect for scanning and marking up documents with Apple Pencil
