iPad Air (2024) was launched by Apple in India and global markets on Tuesday at its ‘Let Loose’ event. The sixth generation iPad Air model will be available in 10.9-inch and 13-inch display variants — a first for the iPad Air lineup.

The iPad Air (2024) is powered by Apple’s octa-core M2 chip.

Apple has equipped the iPad Air (2024) with its M2 chip, an octa-core processor that also features Apple’s Neural Engine for on-device AI tasks. The company claims that the new iPad Air offers up to 15 percent improved CPU performance and 25 percent GPU performance than its predecessor. The device runs on iPadOS  17 out-of-the-box.

The new iPad Air sports a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina (LCD) screen with the same 2360×1640 pixels resolution that arrived on Apple’s 5th generation iPad Air model. This year, the iPad Air will also be available in a 13-inch display option, which has a slightly higher resolution.

You get a 12-megapixel ultra-wide angle forward-facing camera on the iPad Air (2024) for selfies and video calls — it’s now landscape oriented for landscape video calls. For supported apps such as FaceTime, the device also supports Apple’s Center Stage technology that automatically adjusts the camera angle as you move. On the back, it has a 12-megapixel wide angle camera image stabilisation and Smart HDR support. It supports recording videos at up to 4K resolution and up to 60fps, or slow-motion videos at up to 1080p at up to 240fps.
