Spring 2025 marks a real technological leap for fans of the American brand. Following the release of the iPhone 16E, Apple introduced an updated iPad Air with 11- and 13-inch displays, now powered by the formidable M3 chip. The company didn\u2019t chase after the M4, but performance has doubled compared to models with M1 and A14 Bionic processors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, Apple refreshed the base iPad, now featuring an 11-inch display. And the wait won\u2019t be long \u2014 the new models are about to arrive in iSpace stores. The standard iPad had gone three years without an upgrade, but that\u2019s now history. The Air, on the other hand, was updated just a year ago \u2014 but Apple clearly believes there’s no such thing as too much power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, what\u2019s hidden beneath the surface, and how much has really changed? Fans had expected loud announcements, but instead, Apple launched the new tablets quietly. And there\u2019s a reason for that: these new iPads represent more of an evolutionary update than a revolutionary overhaul.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three years without an update \u2014 and finally, the base iPad shakes off the dust of anticipation.
