The company has not been modest with comparisons as Apple declared that this new A16 chip on the iPad Air models is able to be about 6x faster than a top Android tablet.
For the best experience ever, Apple also stated that the Apple Pencil Pro along with the USB-C Apple Pencil are compatible with both iPad Air 2025 models.
“iPad Air is so popular because of its unmatched combination of powerful performance, portability, and support for advanced accessories, all at an affordable price. For everyone from college students taking notes with Apple Pencil Pro, to travelers and content creators who need powerful productivity on the go, iPad Air with M3, Apple Intelligence, and the new Magic Keyboard take versatility and value to the next level.”, the Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing stated in the Apple news announcement.
We didn’t really expect a new iPad product announcement from the company due to the fact that the recent rumors were teasing a new Air product, such as a new thinner phone model. Even more so, the CEO, Tim Cook, posted on its X (formerly Twitter) account that a new Air Apple device is expected to be launched soon.
It remains to be seen if a new iPhone Air model will be soon released! Stay tuned for more updates!
