This week a lot is going on in terms of Apple Hardware: In addition to the new Mac of MacBook Air and Mac Studio series, Apple also introduced two new tablets. Chip tools occurred. Users now ask themselves whether the purchase is worthwhile.

iPad Air M3 as usual
The iPad Air M3 is probably the lowest controversy of two tablets innovations. This is only the logical continuity of the previous model: instead of M2 from 2024, 20 to 30 percent faster M3 now plays, which is doing more than more graduation – although you rarely notice it on iPad. It lives with variants with 11 and 13 inches and has a new magic keyboard, nothing more than this. A solid update, which, wanted to provide a processor generation behind the iPad Pro M4 (which may soon finish with M5) that apple was the required distance from the Apple air.
IPad 11, which Apple only mentions in passion, is very different: depending on the target group, it oscillates between disappointment and recommendation of purchase. A hard setback for the account is that the Apple donates a processor upgrade in the device, but only from 2022 to A16. This means that iPad 11 is now the only device in Apple’s current computer/tablet/smartphone line-up, Apple does not master Intext. If you consider how much the group pushes its AI system on other devices, it is surprising.
iPad 11: Good and Bad
Apple first installed A16 in iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, then in 2023 in iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. Apple should be given iPad 11 A17 to accompany Apple Intelligence. 8 GB RAMs are standard; A16 is available only with a maximum of 6 GB. Apple’s advertisement states that iPad 11 with A16 is now 30 percent faster than its predecessor (and 50 percent of ancient A13), very little.
On the other hand, users must ask themselves if they need apple intelligence. The AI system comes only in German in April and the range of works with writing assistants and image generators is clearly chat, anthropic and the company. Only deep integration is useful in the system. Better Siri also comes late. So if the user is a sniffing of Apple Intelligence, he gets a lot for money with iPad 11. So it starts at 399 euros with 128 GB mass storage – not really much, but is better than the first 64 GB. The hardware is well equipped with USB-C and other simple standard features and A16 is completely sufficient for most activities.
