Apple 13-inch iPad Air M3 vs Apple iPad Air 11-inch M3

Both are M3 iPad Airs with the same chip, cameras and iPadOS, so the real choice is screen size against portability. The 13-inch gives you a much larger canvas for split-screen work, drawing and video, but it is heavier and bulkier to carry. The 11-inch fits in a small bag, weighs about 16.2 oz and is the easier daily carry. Owners of both praise the M3 speed and all-day battery; the 13-inch draws more complaints about size, the 11-inch about wanting more screen for multitasking.

• Choose the 13-inch iPad Air if you work in split screen, draw or edit video and mostly use the tablet at a desk or on a couch.
• Choose the 11-inch iPad Air if you carry it every day, read and watch more than you create, and want the lighter device.
