The newiPad Air 2024is only a few days old, but rumours are already swirling about its replacement – and the first such rumour sounds accurate because it’s pretty much inevitable. After the M2iPadAir,Appleis planning to make… a M3 iPad Air.
Before you click away, though, it’s worth looking at that in a bit more detail – because the new iPad Pros of course have M4 processors. But rather than let the Airs get those processors a year or so from now, Apple reportedly plans to keep the Airs a generation behind the Pros.
What to know about the next iPad Air
This new report comes viaMacRumors, which credits it to “a private account with a proven track record of sharing accurate information about Apple’s plans.” As the site notes, it’s very early to even speculate on what Apple might be planning next. But the processor plan appears to be a strategic decision rather than just a guess about possible future specifications.
Whatever the spec of the next iPad Air, don’t let it put you off buying any of the current models: I’m using a 2021 iPad Pro with the M1 processor, a lesser processor than the M2 in the current Airs, and there hasn’t been a single time when I’ve wished there was something more powerful inside – even when I’ve been running demanding apps such as Logic Pro. The combination of M-series silicon and Apple’s long-term support ofiOSand iPadOS devices means an Air bought today will be a great device for a good few years to come, no matter what Apple is cooking up for the next generation.
