Our take on the Apple 11-inch iPad Air Wi-Fi 1TB - Purple (M4)

The 2026 iPad Air pairs Apple's M4 chip with an 11-inch Retina display, 1TB of storage and a single USB-C port, in purple. It keeps the Air formula: a thin aluminum body, Touch ID in the top button, and support for the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard. The 1TB configuration is the top storage tier, and at $1,349 at Best Buy as of November 8, 2026 it sits at the top of its recent range, since 1TB Airs rarely discount much.

Best forStudents and note-takers who want a light tablet with a keyboardCreative work like drawing, photo editing and light videoPeople who keep large media and app libraries offlineAnyone upgrading from an older Air or base iPad
Pros
  • M4 chip handles demanding apps and games with headroom
  • 1TB storage suits big photo, video and game libraries
  • 11-inch size balances screen space and portability
  • Touch ID in the top button is quick and reliable
  • USB-C supports drives, hubs and external displays
Cons
  • 1TB is the priciest tier; most buyers don't need it
  • Single rear camera with no ultrawide or LiDAR
  • No headphone jack and no microSD slot
  • Accessories like the Magic Keyboard are sold separately
  • iPadOS still limits multitasking compared with a Mac

Questions and answers

Is the 1TB iPad Air M4 worth it over the 256GB?
Only if you store large video, photo or game libraries on the device. Most people are fine with 256GB or 512GB and save several hundred dollars.
Does it work with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard?
Yes. It supports the current Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard made for the 11-inch Air, both sold separately.
How does the M4 Air compare with the iPad Pro?
The Pro adds an OLED display, ProMotion and Face ID. The Air gives most of the performance for less money, but keeps an LCD screen and Touch ID.
What's in the box?
The iPad, a USB-C charging cable and documentation. The power adapter and any keyboard or stylus are not included.
