Our take on the Apple 11-inch iPad Air M3, Built for Apple Intelligence, Wi-Fi 128GB - Purple

The 11-inch iPad Air M3 is Apple's mid-range tablet, now with the M3 chip, 8GB of RAM and a 2360x1640 Liquid Retina display. It supports Apple Intelligence, Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard, and Apple rates battery life at up to 10 hours. The 128GB Wi-Fi model in Purple is the entry configuration; check the current price against recent listings before buying, since iPad Air prices move with sales.

Questions and answers

Is the iPad Air M3 worth it over the iPad Pro?
Yes if you want most Pro features for less money. The Pro adds a 120Hz OLED display, Face ID and a faster chip, which matter mainly to artists and heavy editors.
Does it work with Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard?
Yes. It supports Apple Pencil Pro, the Magic Keyboard for iPad Air and the Smart Folio. Older Pencil 2 and older Magic Keyboards do not fit.
How much storage should I get?
128GB suits streaming, browsing and light note-taking. Choose 256GB or more if you store large photo libraries, games or offline video.
How long does the battery last?
Apple rates it at up to 10 hours of web browsing or video. Heavy gaming and editing shorten that noticeably.
What is in the box?
The iPad, a USB-C charging cable and a 20W power adapter. The Pencil and keyboard are sold separately.
When is it cheapest?
iPad Air prices drop during back-to-school and Black Friday sales and when a new model launches. Compare store prices and the price history before buying.
