Apple recently unveiled the latest additions to its iPad lineup at the “Let Loose” event, including the new 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air (2024) models. Here are some key highlights of the new devices:
– The 13-inch iPad Air now offers a more affordable option for those who prefer a larger tablet screen but don’t want to splurge on the OLED iPad Pro. Priced at $799 and up, this model features an LCD display.
– Both the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air (2024) models are powered by the M2 chip, an upgrade from the previous M1 chip. Although Apple initially stated that the M2 chip came with a 10-core GPU, it has since revised this number to nine cores without making a big fuss about it.
– The tech specs page for the iPad Air (2024) now reflects the change to a 9-core GPU, although other documents have yet to be fully updated.
– Despite this adjustment, most users are unlikely to notice any significant difference in performance between a 9-core GPU and a 10-core GPU. The M2 chip also boasts an 8-core GPU composed of 4 Performance and 4 Efficiency cores, a 16-core Neural Engine, and 8GB of RAM.
Overall, the new iPad Air (2024) models offer improved performance and capabilities compared to their predecessors, providing users with a powerful and versatile tablet experience. Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting new devices!
