Apple Fixes Core Count Issue in M2 iPad Air

The M2 iPad Air was initially advertised with a 10-core GPU, but it actually has a nine-core GPU.

[{"selector":"#anim-bdec5820-6845-44ff-942b-fffa66321de2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-111.64179%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5374ed55-0622-4ea5-8c32-21dd3ef97a96","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a64bbc29-d8a3-4c49-bb27-6267d3944dcb","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Apple updated its website to reflect the correct core count after the discrepancy was brought to light by 9to5Mac.

[{"selector":"#anim-7abd2be6-0efd-4733-bd17-6d0f5a4b1dd7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(107.86516%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bd634cca-7520-40c5-a8f5-3d9c344ea66e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-da82c01f-6751-4e79-b794-17c0d4cd0fb6","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

All performance claims for the M2 iPad Air are based on the nine-core GPU, according to an Apple spokesperson.

[{"selector":"#anim-8dacc034-ee2d-48a9-9847-8d8149e980c5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-108.88252%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bde3d5f6-ca1b-4b6d-b323-6b511a4c6b66","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dce60e09-18dd-42d8-b47d-87ae020be041","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

This correction follows a report from 9to5Mac revealing the discrepancy in the core count.

[{"selector":"#anim-514a47b3-e9c4-4834-a659-ec5f5954c1d3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.64179%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-958d9cdb-2daa-480a-b0b1-bc649e6d4b63","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-554b8143-223c-414f-8143-b23249277fef","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Apple has also adjusted the core count information on its press release and support page for the M2 iPad Air.

[{"selector":"#anim-42790310-ad5b-48ee-8eaf-9a05bc35feb0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-106.28415%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3fc81df6-5571-4a32-83af-38e11d60c1b9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1c721484-14f4-4807-9e6d-2eb926fb4166","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The Verge contacted Apple for further clarification but has not received an immediate response.

[{"selector":"#anim-19e11882-ddd2-4fdf-8100-e1ef18cb7d78","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(108.16901%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3c7c1b47-c681-43e2-b2a3-ba8ecd52bf7f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-62e4fd1b-da25-4984-bd6f-1e9153fd099c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Despite the core count adjustment, Apple maintains that the M2 iPad Air is still 50% faster than its predecessor, the M1.

[{"selector":"#anim-89c2e917-e5ae-45fb-a151-d22dfcbd0fad","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-112.0482%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-08fc0f44-7e77-4bf2-8113-a638782a3abe","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f079ff2a-f40b-4699-b05a-b42cba870cb8","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

It's unusual for Apple to issue such a correction, and the reason for the change in listed specs remains unclear.

[{"selector":"#anim-80d768a3-b2a1-4cff-87f0-2461aa03bfe2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(112.04820%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e1f57cf6-c069-4395-8bcd-484323cc6edb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bf40ac33-7c36-400d-b181-dc4a39472dcd","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Previously, Apple took a week to acknowledge a bug that caused deleted iPhone photos to reappear.

[{"selector":"#anim-fdf44398-fc91-42dc-8118-160fee243ad8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-107.5419%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-296ad8ff-06c2-48ff-9ec5-08fd973f465c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9bd4c952-e61a-42cc-afdd-d7ccd968bfdf","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Customers were not informed of the core count adjustment before it was corrected on Apple's website.
