Apple just dropped a new iPad Air with an M3 chip,?? ?? ??? and yes, it has Apple Intelligence.
The M3 iPad Air is twice as fast as the M1 iPad Air, which was released in 2022, according to the announcement. The M3 chip also gives the iPad Air faster graphics performance and the same dynamic caching support that comes in other M3 models, which boosts performance and response time.

Many Apple insiders believed the MacBook Air with an M4 chip would be announced before the new iPad Air, although the iPad Air was also predicted to be coming soon. And hey, the week's not over, so we might still see the M4 MacBook Air in a few days.
Apple also updated the iPad 11 with an A16 chip which starts at 128GB of storage, double the amount of the iPad 10's starting storage.
