https://arstechnica.com/apple/2024/05/hands-on-with-the-new-ipad-pros-and-airs-a-surprisingly-refreshing-refresh/ > Apple has a brand-new lineup of iPad Pro and Air models for the first time in well over a year. Most people would probably be hard-pressed to tell the new ones from the old ones just by looking at them, but after hands-on sessions with both sizes of both tablets, the small details (especially for the Pros) all add up to a noticeably refined iPad experience. > But let's begin with the new Airs, since there's a bit less to talk about. The 11-inch iPad Air (technically the 6th-generation model) is mostly the same as the previous-generation A14 and M1 models, design-wise, with identical physical dimensions and weight. It's still the same slim-bezel design Apple introduced with the 2018 iPad Pro, just with a 60 Hz LCD display panel and Touch ID on the power button rather than Face ID.
