The M4 chip boosts tasks, like editing and gaming, and is a powerful device for AI with a faster Neural Engine, higher memory bandwidth, and 50 percent more unified system memory than the previous generation. With 12GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), Bluetooth 6, all-day battery life, an 11" Liquid Retina Display, and support for optional Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C), and Magic Keyboard, the iPad Air empowers you to be even more productive and creative while on the go.
Apple M4 Chip
Featuring an 8-core CPU and a 9-core GPU, the iPad Air is up to 30 percent faster than the M3 iPad Air and up to 2.3x faster than M1 iPad Air. With the M4 chip, unified memory jumps 50 percent, to 12GB, and memory bandwidth increases to 120 GB/s, helping users run AI models faster.
The 16-core Neural Engine is 3x faster than that of M1 and is optimal for everyday tasks that use on-device AI, like searching for subjects and texts in photos, or leveraging powerful AI features in apps. The Neural Engine also powers capabilities in Apple Creator Studio apps, like removing the background of video footage with Scene Removal Mask in Final Cut Pro.
Advanced Graphics
With the 9-core GPU of the M4, the iPad Air supports second-generation hardware-accelerated mesh shading and ray tracing for incredible graphics performance. The M4 delivers over 4x faster 3D pro rendering with ray tracing performance compared to the M1 iPad Air, offering more accurate lighting, reflections, and shadows for extremely realistic gaming experiences.
11" Liquid Retina Touchscreen
The iPad Air has an 11" Liquid Retina Display with a 2360 x 1640 resolution and P3 wide color gamut coverage for vivid colors.
