The new iPad Air M4 comes with full support for Paperlike from the start

Apple has launched a new iPad Air with the M4 chip, bringing clear improvements in both performance and AI. At the same time, much remains unchanged, meaning existing accessories will continue to work as before.

The new model offers up to 30 percent better performance compared with M3, along with significantly greater capacity than previous generations. With an improved Neural Engine and increased AI performance, apps for note-taking, image editing, and productivity are even more responsive. Together with iPadOS 26, which introduces a more advanced windowing system and menu bar, the iPad moves closer to the experience of a traditional computer.

Despite the upgrades, the design is unchanged and pricing remains at roughly the same level. For many users, that means an upgrade is not necessary, while also creating opportunities for better prices on earlier models. For those still planning to upgrade, the M4 model offers a clear step forward in both performance and future-readiness.

Paperlike 3 Screen Protector is fully compatible with the new iPad Air, and both the Paperlike Folio Case and Bumper Case fit without any changes. That means you can start using your new iPad right away with the same writing and drawing experience as before.
