Apple is gearing up for a series of product announcements on Wednesday. So, naturally, the company revealed two of those products on Monday. There's the iPhone 17e, Apple's latest "affordable" iPhone, which largely just updates the chip to the A19. In the same vein, the company is updating its iPad Air line with the M4 chip. If you're hoping for other big iPad Air upgrades, however, keep waiting.
Just about the only thing new about the M4 Air, is, well, M4. This isn't Apple's newest chip—that would be the M5—but the M4 is one generation newer than the M3, so you should expect some performance gains between the two. The M4 chip in the Air comes with an eight-core CPU with three performance cores and five efficiency cores, a nine-core GPU, 120GB/s memory bandwidth, and 12GB of RAM. That's one less performance core than the M3 Air, but one more efficiency core. What's likely going to be more dramatic is the extra 4GB of RAM, as the M3 Air only comes with 8GB. You should be able to run more tasks at once on the new Air without iPadOS needing to refresh an app or page.
With that M4 chip, Apple is adding the N1 chip and C1X modem to the iPad Air. The N1 chip comes with all M4 iPad Airs, and supports standards like Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread, a smart home standard. If you buy the cellular iPad Air, you'll get C1X, Apple's in-house modem that it says is 30% more efficient than the modem in the M3 iPad Air.
How to buy the M4 iPad Air
You can preorder an M4 iPad Air on March 4, starting at $599 (the same starting price as Apple's newly-announced iPhone 17e) for the 11-inch 128GB model. The 13-inch starts at $799 for the 128GB model. Adding cellular adds $150 to the price. Apple says that the M4 iPad Air will officially launch on Wednesday, March 11—the same day as the iPhone 17e, as well as Samsung's Galaxy S26 series.
