We're beginning to learn more about Apple's next iPad Air
•What is it? Apple's next mid-tier tablet
•When is it out? Possibly March
•How much will it cost? Around $599 / £569 / AU$929
The main rumors we've heard surrounding the iPad Air 6 so far concern its processor, which we expect to be Apple's recently released M2 chip.
Tipsters including Revengus (below) have claimed that Apple's next-gen iPad Air will swap the M1 chip boasted by its predecessor for the M2 chip currently found in the best MacBooks and the iPad Pro 12.9 (2022), meaning it's safe to expect significant performance improvements from the iPad Air 6.

The biggest problem with the 2022 iPad Air is that it's just too close to the iPad Pro. Most buyers will struggle to know which to buy, or which is best for them – in fact, it makes the Pro a little redundant thanks to its lower price.
Apple is going to have to work out a better way to make the next iPad Air unique, so that it's not too similar to the Pro. Perhaps we could see it get a more mid-range specs sheet as well as a lower price, to make it more accessible.
The current iPad Airs start with 64GB storage, which, for a tablet with a top-end chipset, simply isn't enough.
That's not enough space to have many games downloaded, or to have loads of files to work on or edit, and so it's not really clear why this version even exists.
An issue we found in the last iPad Air – and most other iPads, if we're being honest - is that the battery life wasn't amazing. It wasn't bad, per say, but it certainly wasn't good either.
If you're wanting to wander around coffee shops to do work, or take your iPad to your studio to use as a second screen, you really want a device that'll last a long time. Current iPads don't always do that.
