The new iPad Air is the last Apple product refreshed and announced at its recent "Peek Performance" event. This new iPad Air has come out a year and a half since its predecessor. It still features that iPad Pro-like look, but it gets a spec boost with an M1 processor, 5G support, and faster data transfer speeds (up to 10Gbps) via its USB-C port.
With the M1 chip, its 8-core CPU is expected to be 60 percent faster than last generation's A14 Bionic processor, and its 8-core GPU is expected to be two times faster. Storage on this tablet starts at 64GB and maxes out at 256GB.
