Apple has kicked off the week with the announcement of a new iPad Air, now powered by the M4 chip. This is a fairly modest update, moving the device from the previous M3 to the M4, but otherwise keeping the same hardware and design. The company also announced a new price-friendly smartphone, the iPhone 17e.The only other big upgrade is a bump from 8 GB of unified memory to 12 GB. This is a welcome change, as Apple hasn’t increased the price of the base configurations. It also comes at a time during a memory shortage crisis, but despite this, the M4 iPad Air still starts at $599 for the 11-inch model and $799 for the 13-inch. Storage options start at 128 GB and max out at 1 TB. What is your experience with iPad Air?
