Is the M2 iPad Air worth it over the base iPad?

Yes if you want the M2 chip, a laminated 11-inch display, Apple Pencil hover and Wi-Fi 6E. The base iPad is cheaper and fine for simple browsing and streaming.

How is it different from the iPad Pro 11-inch?

The Air uses an M2 chip and a standard Liquid Retina display with Touch ID. The Pro adds a brighter tandem OLED screen, ProMotion and Face ID at a higher price.

How much storage should I get?

256GB suits most people who keep apps, photos and some offline video. Heavy video editors or game libraries should look at the 512GB or 1TB models.

Does it work with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard?

It supports Apple Pencil Pro and the USB-C Apple Pencil, plus the Magic Keyboard Folio made for the 11-inch Air. Older Pencil and keyboard models may not fit.

The iPad Air, a USB-C charge cable and a 20W USB-C power adapter. The Pencil and keyboard are sold separately.

How long does the battery last?

Apple rates it at up to 10 hours of web browsing or video. Real-world use with cellular and heavy apps usually lands a bit lower.
