       Apple updates iPad Air with faster M3 processor   
       -----------------------------------------------   
       Apple has launched an update to the iPad Air, retaining   
       the same design and updating the processor to the   
       powerful M3.

       The new iPad Air, the seventh-generation model, has been   
       introduced by Apple. The midway point between the iPad   
       line and the iPad Pro, the iPad Air continues to provide   
       some of the performance benefits of the Pro models at a   
       more wallet-friendly price.   
      
       The big change is the switch to the M3 chip, with the   
       changes including a 9-core GPU instead of an eight-core   
       version, an 8-core CPU with a 35% improved clock speed   
       over M1, and a better Neural Engine. There's also the   
       Media Engine for ProRes and ProRes RAW encoding.   
      
       Other than the M3 chip usage, there's little else   
       seemingly different in the M3 model over the previous M2.   
       In every other regard, it's what's referred to as a   
       spec-bump update.   
      
       It's still shipping in two sizes, with 11-inch and   
       13-inch variants available, with respective resolutions   
       of 2,732 by 2,048 and 2,360 by 1,640. Brightness is still   
       at 600 nits for the 13-inch, 500 nits for the 11-inch,   
       along with Wide Color (P3) support, True Tone, and Apple   
       Pencil Hover.   
      
       Size-wise, they are identical to the previous generation,   
       down to the millimeter. Again, Touch ID is in use rather   
       than Face ID, encased in the top button.   
      
       The front includes a landscape 12MP Center Stage camera,   
       with a 12MP Wide camera around the back with a 5x digital   
       zoom. 4K video at 60fps is still the maximum, along with   
       1080p 240fps slo-mo, while audio is handled by landscape   
       stereo speakers and a pair of microphones.   
      
       The 11-inch starts from US$599, and the 13-inch from   
       US$799, with preorders open now and availability from   
       March 12.
