Apple 11-inch iPad Air M4 vs Apple 11-inch iPad Air M3

Buy the M4 iPad Air if you want the longest useful life and the fastest chip in this size; its M4, Wi-Fi 7 and USB4 make it the more future-proof tablet. The M3 iPad Air is the same 11-inch Liquid Retina design with the same Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard support, and owners rate it slightly higher, so it suits anyone who mainly takes notes, streams and browses. Both are 128GB base models with Touch ID, a 12MP Center Stage front camera and all-day battery; the M4 is the step up, the M3 the proven pick.

• Choose the 11-inch iPad Air M4 if you keep a tablet for years, edit video or run heavy apps, or want Wi-Fi 7 and USB4 for fast transfers and future accessories.
• Choose the 11-inch iPad Air M3 if your work is note-taking, reading, streaming and video calls, and you would rather have the model with the larger, higher-rated owner base.
