Review Roundup: iPad Air With M3 Chip and New Magic Keyboard

by

The new iPad Air with the M3 chip launches Wednesday. Ahead of time, the first reviews of the device have been shared by select publications and YouTube channels.

M3 iPad Air
As expected, the latest iPad Air is up to 20% faster than the previous-generation model with the M2 chip. In addition, the M3 chip brings hardware-accelerated ray tracing to the iPad Air for the first time, providing improved graphics rendering in games.

A new Magic Keyboard is available for the iPad Air. It features a larger trackpad, and function keys for display brightness, volume, and more.

That's it. It's a minor spec-bump year for the iPad Air.

Below, we have rounded up some of the reviews and unboxing videos for the new iPad Air, and the updated Magic Keyboard.

I still wish Apple could have pushed the refresh rate to 90 Hz, though.

Spoiler alert: it's faster. End of review.
I don't even click on it, I don't want to waste my time watching it.

Very minor update only. Good to see the videos. Looks like the keyboard is better. No reason to upgrade from older Air model.

Who watches these things? They’re more third party ads for Apple devices than actual reviews. MacRumor’s short blurb in this article is more informative.

Zero external differences. Only the keyboard is different.
I’m interested to see the new colours.
