Compared to M1, the Neural Engine in M3 is up to 60 percent faster for AI-based workloads. Other improvements over iPad models with A-series chips include support for Apple Intelligence, the choice of 11- and 13-inch sizes, and support for advanced accessories, including the new Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro.<p></p><p><br /></p><p><b>iPad Air: Built for Apple Intelligence</b></p><p>iPad Air is built for Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system that delivers helpful and relevant intelligence. In Photos, the Clean Up tool makes it easy to remove distracting elements in images, and natural language search allows users to search for just about any photo or video by simply describing what they are looking for. With Image Wand in the Notes app, users can make notes more visually engaging by turning rough sketches into delightful images, just by drawing a circle around the sketch with their Apple Pencil. Users can even circle empty space within a note, and Image Wand will gather context from the surrounding area to create a relevant image that complements the note and makes it more visual.</p><p>Apple Intelligence helps users explore creative new ways to express themselves visually with Image Playground, create the perfect emoji with Genmoji, and make their writing even more dynamic with Writing Tools. Users can now type to Siri, and Siri is more conversational with the ability to follow along if users stumble over their words. Siri can also maintain context from one request to the next, and with extensive product knowledge, Siri can answer thousands of questions about the features and settings of Apple products, so users can learn how to do things like take a screen recording.</p><p><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2025/03/apple-ipad-air-m3-chip.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="iPad Air with the M3 chip" border="0" src="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/images/2025/03/apple-introduces-ipad-air-with-powerful-m3-chip-and-new-magic-keyboard/article/Apple-iPad-Air-Apple-Intelligence-Image-Playground-250304_big.jpg.large.jpg" title="iPad Air with the M3 chip" width="599" /></a></p><p>With ChatGPT seamlessly integrated into Writing Tools and Siri, users can tap into ChatGPT’s expertise without jumping between applications, so they can get things done faster and easier than ever before. In addition, users can access ChatGPT for free without creating an account, and privacy protections are built in — their IP addresses are obscured and OpenAI won’t store requests. Users can choose whether to enable ChatGPT integration, and are in full control of when to use it and what information is shared with ChatGPT.</p><p>Designed to protect users’ privacy at every step, Apple Intelligence uses on-device processing, meaning that many of the models that power it run entirely on device. For requests that require access to larger models, Private Cloud Compute extends the privacy and security of iPad into the cloud to unlock even more intelligence. When using Private Cloud Compute, users’ data is never stored or shared with Apple; it is used only to fulfill their request.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>All-New Magic Keyboard for iPad Air</b></p><p>The all-new Magic Keyboard for iPad Air expands what users can do. The larger built-in trackpad brings greater precision for detail-oriented tasks, and a new 14-key function row allows easy access to features like screen brightness and volume controls. The new Magic Keyboard attaches magnetically, and the Smart Connector immediately connects power and data without the need for Bluetooth; a machined aluminum hinge also includes a USB-C connector for charging. Now starting at just $379 for the 11-inch model and $399 for the 13-inch model, the new Magic Keyboard for iPad Air features the magical floating design customers love and comes in white.</p><p><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2025/03/apple-ipad-air-m3-chip.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="iPad Air with the M3 chip" border="0" src="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/images/2025/03/apple-introduces-ipad-air-with-powerful-m3-chip-and-new-magic-keyboard/article/Apple-iPad-Air-and-Magic-Keyboard-250304_big.jpg.large.jpg" title="iPad Air with the M3 chip" width="599" /></a></p><p><b>iPad Updated with Double the Starting Storage and the A16 Chip</b></p><p>Apple today also updated iPad with double the starting storage and the A16 chip, bringing even more value to customers. The A16 chip provides a jump in performance for everyday tasks and experiences in iPadOS, while still providing all-day battery life. Compared to the previous generation, the updated iPad with A16 is nearly 30 percent faster. In fact, compared to iPad with A13 Bionic, users will see up to a 50 percent improvement in overall performance, and A16 makes the updated iPad up to 6x faster than the best-selling Android tablet.</p><p><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2025/03/apple-ipad-air-m3-chip.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="iPad Air with the M3 chip" border="0" src="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/images/2025/03/apple-introduces-ipad-air-with-powerful-m3-chip-and-new-magic-keyboard/article/Apple-iPad-Morpholio-Trace-250304_big.jpg.large.jpg" title="iPad with the A16 chip" width="599" /></a></p><p><b>Powerful and Intelligent Features with iPadOS 18</b></p><p>iPadOS 18 offers powerful features that enhance the iPad experience, making it more versatile and intelligent than ever:</p><p>Designed for the unique capabilities of iPad, Calculator delivers an entirely new way to use Apple Pencil to solve expressions. With Math Notes, users are now able to write out mathematical expressions or type to see them instantly solved in handwriting like their own. They can also create and use variables, and add an equation to insert a graph. Users can access their Math Notes in the Notes app and use all of the math functionality in any of their other notes.</p><p>In Notes, handwritten notes become more fluid and flexible. Smart Script unleashes powerful new capabilities for users editing handwritten text, allowing them to easily add space or even paste typed text in their own handwriting. And as users write with Apple Pencil, their handwriting will be automatically refined in real time to be smoother, straighter, and more legible.</p><p>With new Audio Recording and Transcription, iPad can capture a lecture or conversation, and transcripts are synced with the audio, so users can search for an exact moment in the recording.</p><p>Users now have even more options to express themselves through the Home Screen. App icons and widgets can take on a new look with a dark or tinted effect, and users can make them appear larger to create the experience that’s perfect for them. A redesigned Control Center provides easier access to many of the things users do every day, including the option to organize new controls from third-party apps.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Pricing and Availability</b></p><p>Customers can pre-order the new iPad Air with M3 starting today, March 4, on apple.com/ca/store, and in the Apple Store app in 29 countries and regions, including the U.S. and Canada.
