So it looks like the iPad Air 6 is not everything that Apple said it was going to be — or at least, what the initial spec sheets said it was going to be. Rather than the 10 cores we were promised over the launch event and on the website, there are only 9 cores in the M2 GPU that runs the iPad.
That might not seem like much — and I’m not especially bothered that my brand new iPad Air 13-inch has one less graphics core than I was expecting. What I’m not a fan of, however, is being sold something that’s different to what was advertised, and the potential uncomfortable precedent that this latest blunder could make way for.
