Quick Glance: Surprises in the New iPad Air (2025)
- The iPad Air (2025) features an M3 chip, diverging from rumors of a direct upgrade to the M4 chip.
- The similarity between the iPad Air (2024) and the new model makes upgrading unattractive for current users, as no significant improvements were introduced.
- Battery life remains unchanged at 10 hours, raising questions about Apple's innovation, as there has been no improvement in a decade.
- The launch of the iPad Air (2025) may be seen as an attempt to utilize excess M3 chips, while the standard iPad has not been updated in over two years.
