For the first time, the iPad Air is offered in two sizes: an 11 -inch model, ideal for mobility, and a new 13 -inch model offering a more comfortable workspace. The two versions are available in four finishes: blue, purple, stellar light and sidereal gray, and several storage capacities (128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB).
Apple has also unveiled a new Magic Keyboard, specially designed for the iPad Air. It offers an improved striking experience with a larger trackpad and a new row of 14 function keys. This keyboard is fixed magnetically and connects instantly via the Smart Connector, without requiring Bluetooth. Note that the tablet is also compatible with the new Apple Pencil Pro and the Apple Pencil (USB-C).
The iPad Air M3 is designed to take full advantage of Apple Intelligence which will be available in April in France.
