ReviewsToday: iOS

Apple has quietly refreshed its popular Air lineup with the launch of the iPad Air M4, alongside the new iPhone 17e — and while it may look familiar on the outside, the real story lies within.

At first glance, the iPad Air M4 feels like the same sleek tablet we’ve known for the past few years. But under the hood? It’s now powered by Apple’s M4 silicon — and that changes the equation completely.

Same Design. Serious Power Upgrade.

The iPad Air M4 retains its clean aluminium design and slim profile, available in 11-inch and 13-inch variants with Wi-Fi and Cellular options. The LED display continues to offer sharp resolution and anti-reflective coating — but still no 120Hz ProMotion support.

So what’s new?

🚀 M4 Chip + 12GB RAM

This is where things get interesting. The iPad Air now runs on the M4 chipset, the same class of silicon powering Apple’s high-performance devices. More importantly, it now packs 12GB RAM, addressing growing concerns around memory demands driven by AI-powered features.

iPadOS and amazing apps let you get things done in magical, intuitive ways

With iPadOS 26, the extra RAM ensures smoother multitasking, better AI processing, and improved longevity for future updates.

Storage options now scale up to 1TB, while the base model continues to start at 128GB.

Built for AI-Ready Performance

With AI features becoming central to Apple’s ecosystem, the jump to 12GB RAM feels strategic. Whether it’s real-time photo editing, advanced note summarisation, or on-device intelligence, the iPad Air M4 is built to handle next-gen tools without breaking a sweat.

Apple Intelligence. Create, communicate and get things done effortlessly.

This isn’t just a spec bump — it’s future-proofing.

Cameras & Essentials Stay Solid

The iPad Air M4 keeps things familiar in the camera department:

12MP wide rear camera
12MP front camera with Centre Stage

Touch ID remains integrated into the power button, and the cellular models support eSIM connectivity.

It’s practical, reliable, and consistent with Apple’s Air philosophy.

iPad Air M4 Price in India

Here’s how the pricing stacks up:

11-inch Wi-Fi (128GB): Rs 64,900
11-inch Cellular (128GB): Rs 79,900
11-inch Wi-Fi (256GB): Rs 74,900
13-inch Wi-Fi (128GB): Rs 84,900
13-inch Cellular (128GB): Rs 99,900

The 11-inch Wi-Fi model starts at the same price as the iPhone 17e — making it an interesting choice for buyers deciding between a powerful tablet or a premium smartphone.

Should You Upgrade?

If you already own the M2 or M3 iPad Air, the design won’t tempt you. But if performance, AI-readiness, and higher RAM matter to you — the M4 variant is a serious upgrade.

For students, creators, and professionals who want near-Pro performance without paying Pro prices, the iPad Air M4 might just hit the sweet spot.

Same Air. Smarter core. Bigger future.

Introduction:

iOS 10 will be releasing this fall. This does not mean you cannot have your hands on it early. The beta 2 release is out and is quite promising. We have updated 3 devices to iOS 10 and using it for a week now. 5S and iPad mini 4 were running smoothly without any evident bugs. In 5C, 8GB variant, we ran of storage and there was slight lag while hovering over to the notifications section.

Nonetheless iOS 10 Beta is something worth trying. iOS 10 has a big visual design change as compared to earlier releases.

Build & Quality:

1. Apple says they have “redesigned the experience of the lock screen". This a single biggest design change we have seen to the notifications and lock screen.

2. The widgets now appear on the lock screen as cards. You can tap on the widget to open it. iPhone 6s and 6s plus have 3D touch options now.

3. The notification screen just like the lock-screen has a light crisp feel. You can feel the notifications floating rather than it being published on the wall.

4. The Photos app has an overhaul with a Memories section which picks the best of your clicks.

5. The much needed upgrade is in the mail app. The mail's default mode is now oldest on top. Mail chains are easy to handle with mails not merging and cramping. The mail appears as cards and looks quite sleek. You can just swipe each reply to the left to archive it.

6. The clock has a new feature which alerts you when its time for you to sleep and wake up. It monitors your sleep pattern and provides you with analysis.

7. You can just let your feeling show just by tapping back message with the feelings responses. You can send messages in your handwriting and this would not appear as an image to your friend. It would rather animate how you write it on your paper.

8. Tired of looking for an emoji. Just type in the emoji and tap to send it.

9. The music app is redefined and has a quite a fresh and light feel.

10. iOS 10 beta 2 is released for download. This means iOS 10 beta 2 is a version or two behind the main iOS 10 release. This OS is stable and no bugs encountered in this release so far in 5S and iPad Mini 4.

General Observation & Verdict:

iOS 10 is a refreshing OS and people would love it. Apart from above listed key highlights, there are two underrated features which may turn major USP of iOS 10.

a) Unsecured Wi-Fi Network Warning-

b) Wet Lightning Cable Charger Warning-
