With a few hours to go before the launch, various predictions follow. Previously, there has been news that the new iPad Air, that is, the iPad Air 5, will be equipped with the M1 chip. Now, another source has confirmed that the iPad Air 5 will be equipped with an M1 chip and 8GB of RAM.
The new iPad Air has a minimum capacity of 128GB, and the current fourth-generation iPad Air has a minimum capacity of 64GB. Prices for the fifth-generation iPad Air start at $599, the same as the current iPad Air, with no increase in volume.
If the iPad Air 5 is upgraded to the M1 chip, the main difference from the iPad Pro product is the ProMotion screen, lidar scanner, etc. The M1 chip will be an 8-core CPU and a 7-8-core GPU design, which is stronger than the 6-core CPU and 5-core GPU of the A15 chip.
