The iPad Air M4 adds an M4 chip, a C1X cellular modem, and an N1 for Wi‑Fi 7/Bluetooth 6/Thread, delivering roughly 20–25% faster CPU and 10–15% faster GPU versus the M3 Air; the upgrade is noticeable but not transformative, Pro models remain the better choice for power users, and the $599 price with 128GB base storage is a caveat—upgrade if you’re on older iPads, otherwise you can likely skip this year’s bump.
Geekbench 6 results show the MacBook Air with the 10-core M5 chip scoring 17,073 in multi-core, about 15% faster than the M4 Air (14,731); the gain aligns with Apple’s claims and places the M5 Air ahead of the older M3 Pro MacBook Pro by up to 16%, though it remains slower than some M4 Pro/newer Pro models. The M5 MacBook Air is available to pre-order now and launches March 11.
Geekbench results for the 13-inch M4 iPad Air (Wi‑Fi + Cellular) show about a 17.3% improvement in single‑core and 7.9% in multi‑core CPU performance over the M3 iPad Air, with scores around 3438/3714 (test pairs) and 12885/12296 (multi, averaged to 3576 single‑core and 12591 multi‑core). The M4 iPad Air uses an 8‑core CPU (3 performance + 5 efficiency) and a 9‑core GPU, and while it outpaces the M3, it trails the M4 iPad Pro, which posts 3704 single‑core and 13805 multi‑core. The new model is available for pre‑order at 6:15 a.m. PT tomorrow, with a March 11 launch.
Apple’s iPad Air now uses the M4 chip with 12GB RAM and faster Wi‑Fi/cellular (N1/C1X) plus Wi‑Fi 7, while keeping the same starting prices ($599 for the 11-inch and $799 for the 13-inch); preorders begin March 4 and shipments start March 11.
