What Sets the iPad Air Apart From the Apple iPad?

There are a few differences, especially if we look at the latest iPad Air (M4). The iPad Air runs on Apple’s M-series chips, the same kind of power you’ll find in a Mac. That means it handles heavier stuff like 4K video edits and 3D projects without breaking a sweat. The standard iPad runs on iPhone-style A-series chips, so it’s more for everyday stuff like streaming, browsing and schoolwork.

You’re also getting a better screen on the Air. It’s fully laminated with no air gap, has an anti-reflective coating and punches out richer colours thanks to P3 wide colour support.
