Ah, the joy of upgrading to yet another iPad! I mean, who doesn’t want to spend a small fortune on a tablet that’s slightly better than the one you bought last year? Enter Apple’s latest offering, the M3 iPad Air. It’s the best iPad for most people, but allow me to wax lyrical about why my heart belongs to the M4 iPad Pro.

Let’s start with the M3 iPad Air, the darling of the tablet world. It’s got everything you never knew you needed, like a slightly faster chip and a slightly brighter screen. It’s like Apple sat down and thought, ‘How can we make people feel the need to upgrade?’ And voila! The M3 iPad Air was born.
