Apple just fixed the core count of the M2 iPad Air

The M2 iPad Air doesn’t come with the 10-core GPU that Apple originally announced – it actually comes with a nine-core GPU. In a statement to 9to5Macan unnamed Apple spokesperson says it has updated its website “to correct the M2 iPad Air core count” but that “all performance claims for the M2 iPad Air are accurate and based on a 9-core GPU.”

Apple’s correction comes after a report from 9to5Mac revealed that the company quietly changed the core count of its new M2 iPad Air from 10 cores to nine on the page describing the product specifications. Apple also changed the device’s core count in its Press release It is support page. On the edge reached out to Apple with a request for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

As Apple says 9to5Mac, this does not mean that the M2 iPad Air’s listed performance is wrong. Apple’s claim that the M2 iPad Air is 50% faster than its M1 predecessor still stands.
