On March 8th, Apple introduced a new iPad Air during its “Peek Performance” event. While the design is comparable to the previous-generation Air, Apple has made a few tweaks.
For starters, the iPad Air now has the same lightning-fast M1 CPU as the latest iPad Pro. The new Air also has a 12MP front camera, up from 7MP on the previous generation, and Apple’s Center Stage function, which can track you in the picture during video conversations. On the cellular devices, there’s also a 5G connection, a USB-C connector that’s up to twice as fast as the previous generation’s, and 10Gbps data transfer capabilities.
