The next iPad Air may have a display we’ve waited years for
A person holding the Apple iPad Air (2024), showing the screen.

Earlier this year, Apple introduced its largest iPad Air to date, featuring a 13-inch display. However, like previous models, this display has a refresh rate of only 60Hz, which is lower than the 120Hz found on the 2024 iPad Pro. Improvements in this area may be arriving with the upcoming iPad Air.

According to an anonymous source from the popular Upgrade podcast, the 2025 iPad Air could include a 90Hz refresh rate. Similar displays might also be featured in a rumored 24-inch iMac and the next-generation Studio Display.

Apple Intelligence, as Apple calls it, is a powerful suite of AI tools that will help make your life even easier. From new writing tools and summarization features to image generation and the ability to create unique emojis, Apple Intelligence definitely looks impressive.
