iPad Air M3: What's new?

The 2025 iPad Air retains a similar design as the previous generation model with 11-inch and 13-inch screen sizes. It features the same Retina True Tone display, offering a similar viewing experience as the 2024 iPad Air. Both devices come with the same 12MP rear camera and a 12MP front camera, however, the camera quality may have been enhanced due to the new chip.

Talking of the new chip, the only major upgrade Apple has announced is the new chip. Yes, the 2025 iPad Air is powered by the M3 chip with an 8-core CPU, 9-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine. Apple has also highlighted the new GPU architecture, which includes dynamic caching, mesh shading, and ray tracing. Due to this upgrade, the iPad Air is now faster and more efficient.
