Apple 11-inch iPad Air M4 vs Apple iPad Pro 11-inch (M4)
Both run the M4 chip, so the real split is the screen, the biometrics and the storage. The iPad Pro has a tandem OLED Ultra Retina XDR panel with ProMotion up to 120Hz, Face ID, Thunderbolt and 256GB to start, in a thinner, lighter body. The iPad Air keeps a 60Hz LCD, Touch ID, USB4 and 128GB, and owners rate it 4.4 out of 5 as a dependable note-taking and study tablet. Buy the Air for classes, notes and everyday use; step up to the Pro if you draw, edit video or want the better display and more storage.
- Choose the 11-inch iPad Air if you want a capable M4 tablet for notes, reading and video calls and don't need an OLED screen or 120Hz.
- Choose the 11-inch iPad Pro if you sketch, edit photos or video, or want Face ID, Thunderbolt and double the base storage in a thinner body.
