Apple has revealed an updated 11-inch iPad Air, along with a new 13-inch model.

There’s also an M2 chip in both models of the iPad Air.

Apple says that should improve general performance, especially in games and other graphically-demanding software.

Besides the camera, there aren’t any notable design changes.

There are new blue and purple color options, though, alongside the existing starlight and space gray colors.

It has been almost exactly two years since the last iPad Air update.

It also switched to an M1 chip.
