Apple expands its iPad Air lineup with a new 13-inch model, a budget-friendly alternative to the iPad Pro. Not only is the screen larger, but it also packs the powerful M2 chip – a significant upgrade over last year's M1 model.

The new iPad Air comes in a range of colours (blue, purple, starlight, and space grey) and starts at $599 for the 11-inch version and $799 for the 13-inch. Storage options go from the base 128GB up to a spacious 1TB.

The iPad Pro gets a major upgrade with a stunning new OLED display, offering even more vibrant colours and deeper blacks. It also boasts a slimmer design, with the 11-inch model clocking in at just 5.3mm thick, and the 13-inch at 5.1mm.

But the makeover isn't just about looks – Apple has packed in its next-gen M4 processor. The new iPad Pro comes in silver and space black, with a base storage of 256GB. It starts at $999 for the 11-inch and $1,299 for the 13-inch.
