US EditionIt May Look Familiar, But The New iPad Air Just Got A Hidden Overhaul
The iPad Air M4 features 12GB RAM and Wi-Fi 7 with Apple’s new networking chips while maintaining $599 and $799 starting prices, Apple announced.
- On Wednesday, March 4, Apple unveiled the iPad Air M4, offering 11- and 13-inch models starting at $599, with pre-orders opening that day and availability on March 11.
- Replacing the M3, the M4 brings the next-generation silicon, Apple’s successor to the M3, and adds Apple N1 and C1X networking chips for Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, Thread, and 12GB RAM.
- Storage and size choices stay the same, with 128GB–1TB storage options and 11- and 13-inch models, while the M4 features nine GPU cores and 120GB/s bandwidth.
- IPadOS 26 powers more on-device AI through Apple Intelligence, and reviewers note buyers get a faster chip for the same price.
- Because of procurement leverage and chip economics, Apple absorbed higher memory costs as its supply-chain purchasing leverage and the 3nm M4 process reduce per-transistor expenses, Apple observers say.
