Apple makes one hardware change to the iPad Air that might be the best indicator of its true lightweight tablet intentions
- The latest iPad Air M3 models from Apple showcase a powerful M3 chip, offering faster performance and enhanced intelligence features with a Neural Processor.
- A notable design change in the new iPad Air is the absence of the 'iPad Air' branding on the back, sparking curiosity about its significance.
- Historically, 'Air' products have been lighter and thinner, but recent releases like the iPad Pro have introduced thinner and lighter models.
- The iPad Pro models with Tandem OLED technology are currently the thinnest and lightest, overshadowing the latest iPad Air M3 in terms of dimensions.
- The iPad Air M3 dimensions reveal a 6.1mm thickness, weighing 1.01 pounds for the 11-inch model and 1.36 pounds for the 13-inch model.
- The absence of the 'iPad Air' label on the latest model may suggest a shift in the traditional 'Air' lightweight connotation, emphasizing other features and affordability.
- While the iPad Air M3 is not the thinnest or lightest option, its combination of price, performance, and support for accessories like the Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard make it a compelling choice.
- The iPad Air M3 starts at $599, offering near-M4 power at a more affordable price point compared to the pricier iPad Pro models.
- Apple's decision to remove the 'iPad Air' branding hints at a redefinition of what it means to be an 'Air' model, emphasizing value and capabilities over sheer weight and thickness.
- The article questions the significance of the 'Air' designation in the context of evolving iPad models and the changing landscape of Apple's product lineup.
- Ultimately, the choice between iPad models is no longer solely based on the 'Air' descriptor but considers factors like performance, pricing, and feature compatibility.

The base iPad just got a lot better, but misses one big feature
- Apple has upgraded the base iPad with double the starting storage and the A16 chip, resulting in a performance jump of 30% over the previous model.
