The powerful and versatile new iPad Air comes in a stunning array of colors, and features the Apple-designed M1 chip, a new Ultra Wide front camera, blazing-fast 5G, and more.


Wi-Fi models of the new iPad Air start at $599 while Wi-Fi and Cellular models start at $749. In addition, iPad Air prices for current and newly accepted college students, as well as their parents, faculty, staff and homeschool teachers of all grade levels start at $549.

It also includes storage capacity of up to 8 terabytes, up to 64GB of unified memory on systems with the M1 Max and up to 128GB of unified memory on systems with M1 Ultra.

Over the course of a year, Mac Studio will use up to 1,000 kilowatt-hours less energy than a high-end PC desktop.

Mac Studio puts essential connectivity within arm’s reach, with a wide selection of ports on the back, and two USB-C ports and an SD card slot on the front.

Apple's new M1 ultra chip basically doubles the size of the previous M1 chip using UltraFusion connection technology.

M1 Ultra is the world’s most powerful and capable chip for a personal computer.


M1 Ultra has 114 billion transistors, the most ever in a personal computer chip, and can be configured with up to 128GB of high-bandwidth, low-latency unified memory. M1 Ultra has a 64-core GPU — eight times the size of M1 — and up to 3.8 times faster CPU performance than the fastest 27-inch iMac with an 10-core processor.
