Apple's March iPad lineup changes introduces a new entry-level model and updates the iPad Air. Here's which iPad is best in early 2025, at any price point.

Apple just launched the iPad Air (M3), a new version of the iPad Air that has the more modern M3 chip built-in. Apple also announced the launch of an all new Magic Keyboard to accompany the latest iPad Air.

The new Air is primarily a spec bump over last year’s device. It has an upgraded M3 chip, and of course supports Apple Intelligence. It comes in four colors, 11- and 13-inch models, and starts at $549 for the smaller model and $749 for the larger.
