Value balance in the transition from M3 to M4

Apple introduced the iPad Air with M4 chip in the first quarter of 2026. The M4 generation offers a more advanced neural processor compared to the M3, a new structure that supports Wi-Fi 7 and Apple Intelligence at its full capacity. With the arrival of the new generation, M3 iPad Air stocks began to go on sale at discounted prices at various retailers. However, the M3 model still offers sufficient performance for scenarios such as daily use, content consumption, digital drawing and office applications; The primary benefit of M4 stands out with its artificial intelligence-oriented processing capacity.

On the connection side, M3 iPad Air supports the Wi-Fi 6E standard. On the other hand, the new M4 model has taken a significant step in this regard by switching to Wi-Fi 7. Offering USB 3 (up to 10 Gbps) speed support via the USB-C connector, the M3 model can also be connected to external displays with up to 6K resolution at 60 Hz. On the battery side, the 36.59 Wh capacity lithium polymer battery provides up to 10 hours of internet use via Wi-Fi.
