New iPad Air launched

Apple unveiled a new iPad Air at its "Peek Performance" event on Tuesday, 8 March 2022.

The thin and light tablet boasts significant performance improvements thanks to Apple's M1 chip, the same processor sported in the company's latest high-end Mac computers.

Apple claimed the M1 offers 60% faster performance than the A14 Bionic in the previous iPad Air and is twice as fast as the best-selling Windows laptop in its price range.
