Preorder Apple’s Latest iPads: Everything You Need to Know

Apple Unveils New iPads: What's New in 2023?

As anticipated, Apple has announced the release of two new iPads, elevating their lineup with improved features and updated specs. The entry-level iPad starts at $349, while the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air models are priced at $599 and $799 respectively. Customers can preorder these models starting today, March 4th, ahead of the official release date on March 12th.

Minor Upgrades but Improved Performance

The new 11th-generation iPad showcases significant storage improvements, offering 128GB of base storage, doubling that of its predecessor. However, it notably lacks support for Apple Intelligence and is not powered by Apple’s silicon. The upgraded A16 chip is nearly 30% faster than the A14 chip used in the 10th-gen iPad.

Advanced Features in iPad Air Models

The 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air boast the M3 chip, making them powerful contenders. Apple claims these models are twice as fast as the previous M1-powered versions from 2022. Additionally, the M3 chip introduces significant GPU enhancements, including dynamic caching support to improve performance for demanding applications.

Accessory Compatibility

Both iPads support the Apple Pencil (USB-C), but only the Air models are compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro that features built-in Find My support and a gyroscope sensor. Moreover, the M3-powered iPad Air welcomes the new Magic Keyboard, which includes a larger trackpad and a new 14-key function row designed for quick adjustments.
