Apple iPad Air: Is M1 the Right Move?
The M1 was released in 2020, but until 2021, Apple stuck with the device and did not release its next version, the M2. The iPad Air's previous versions all featured the A-series chip that focused on the same processor as the iPhone devices, but it is retro-fitted for the tablets from Apple.
The iPad Air 4's performance is adequate and suitable for its reviews, and having the M1 may either mess up or improve its capabilities when it comes to the public. Apple would have to analyze this for their needs before introducing it to the public.
Apple's iPad Chips
There are two main chipsets for the iPad Air, and it includes the A-series chip and the M-series chip, both available on the company's devices. However, only one device features the M1, and it is with the 2021 iPad Pro that was released last May 2021, bringing a new breed of the iPad lineup that features the capabilities of a PC.
The arrival of the M1 in the professional tablet of Apple is a blessing for some, mainly as it brings a massive boost in its performance that sets it apart from other versions from the Cupertino giant. Some of the Peak Performance event features would be the iPad Air 5th generation, and its speculation will bring a new version that will replace that from 2020.
The iPad Air is one of the lightest devices from Apple in the iPad lineup, and it brings a change in its look and builds compared to others, making it a breeze to carry anywhere for its many functions. The iPad Air having the M1 chip is not yet something that Apple confirms for the public, but it will focus on the many features it will bring the user.
