The update arrives with confidence.
Apple’s iPad Air gets a spec bump with the M4 chip, because who doesn’t need more AI in their life? The company claims this will make the device better suited for “more powerful apps” and “more realistic graphics”. Because that’s exactly what was missing from our lives. The iPad Air now has up to 16GB of RAM, because 8GB just wasn’t enough for all those AI-powered cat videos.
