MacBook Air with M3 processor
The new MacBook Air laptops They incorporate the M3 chips and interesting versatility in terms of performance. This is an evolution that will come in two models, 13 and 15 inches. Unlike past years, and always based on the leaks and rumors published by Mark Gurman in Bloomberg, this time the launch will be simultaneous. Previously, Apple used different dates to present portable models of different sizes.
Thanks to new M3 chip, laptops MacBook Air family They receive cutting-edge technology. From hardware acceleration for ray tracing to mesh shading and graphics rendering improvements. These types of technologies are used to provide better lighting, shading, and reflection effects in video games and graphic design work. In 2023, other devices in the Apple family had already received renewed versions with the M3 chip: the 14-inch MacBook Pro, the 16-inch MacBook Pro, and the 24-inch iMac.
New versions iPad Air 6, iPad Pro 7 with M3 chip and OLED screen
On iPad Air, it is known that it will arrive with two versions, one 10,9 inches and another 12,9 inches. The iPad Air 6 model will feature the M2 chip for an improvement in overall performance, modifications to the rear camera design, support for WiFI 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. Regarding the exterior design, there will be no major modifications and it will coexist for some time on the market with the fifth generation of iPad Air from 2022.
El iPad Air 6 It presents some general improvements regarding connectivity technology and performance, but it would not yet incorporate the M3 chip. This improvement, which is present in the laptop, will also arrive with the iPad Pro 7 according to the rumors spread by Bloomberg.
El 11 and 13 inch iPad Pro model It is highly anticipated by the community because it incorporates OLED screens. It is the first time that this family of devices incorporates panel technology to improve brightness and reduce energy consumption. The advantages are notable compared to current panels such as LCD.
Unfortunately, this new addition is expected to increase the final price of a device that already had a high price. Apple has always been characterized by the quality of its products, and enthusiasts recognize that paying several times more than other smartphones translates into high quality and performance.
The refresh rate is one of the parameters that will be modified with these new OLED panels on the iPad Pro. While the ProMotion function allows a variable refresh rate between 24Hz and 120Hz. With OLED technology this rate will be significantly reduced, allowing you to save the battery. In the case of models such as the iPhone 14 Pro or the iPhone 15 Pro, it is possible to go down to 1Hz.
Conclusions
It seems that 2024 will be an important year for the Apple family of devices. The big star will be the new M3 chip, capable of significantly improving the processing speed and general performance of the devices. But there are other new features such as MagSafe wireless charging or the magic keyboard that adds a new design, with a larger trackpad and the use of aluminum in the case.
The new iPad Air versions, added to the improvements in the iPad Pro family and the MacBook Air with M3, account for an extensive catalog ready to compete in an always complex sector. Bloomberg is a prestigious news outlet where many of its writers have access to first-hand sources, thus providing information that is later officially confirmed.
At the moment, Apple maintains a certain secrecy regarding the new iPad Air, Pro and MacBook Air, but leaks are beginning to arrive from different media, and with similarities. Everything seems to indicate that in 2024 the aim is to make up for lost time compared to 2023 where the new features were more about aesthetics and exterior design, and not so much about internal hardware. That is why the M3 chip will be a great protagonist. Due to its power, scope and proposals for the future and the expansion of Apple models, it will surely be a fundamental piece of this year.
