Questions and answers

Is the 13-inch iPad Air worth it over the 11-inch?
If you multitask, take notes or watch a lot of video, the larger screen is worth the extra size and weight. For handheld reading and travel, the 11-inch Air is easier to carry.
Does it work with Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard?
Yes. It supports Apple Pencil Pro, the Magic Keyboard for iPad Air and the Smart Folio. Older Pencil 2 and some older keyboards are not compatible.
How much storage should I get?
128 GB is fine for streaming and light apps. If you download movies, edit video or keep large game libraries, 256 GB or more is safer.
Is the cellular version worth it?
Get 5G if you work away from Wi-Fi often. Otherwise the Wi-Fi 6E model is cheaper and you can tether from a phone.
How long does the battery last?
Apple rates it at about 10 hours of web browsing or video. Heavy creative apps will drain it faster.
When is it cheapest?
The best new price seen is $700 at eBay as of November 8, 2026. Discounts tend to appear around back-to-school and holiday sales.
