Our take on the Apple 11-inch iPad Air Wi-Fi 256GB (M4)

The 2026 iPad Air moves to Apple's M4 chip, the same silicon family used in the iPad Pro, in an 11-inch Liquid Retina body with 256GB of storage and Wi-Fi 6E. It keeps Touch ID in the top button, a single USB-C port and one rear camera, so it is a straightforward upgrade rather than a redesign. The best new price is $828 at Walmart as of November 7, 2026, with six stores listing it new. That sits near the top of its short price history, so waiting for a first discount is reasonable.

Questions and answers

Is the M4 iPad Air worth it over the M2 model?: If you already own an M2 Air, the gains are modest and not worth the upgrade. For older iPads or first-time buyers, the M4 gives more years of headroom.
Does it work with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard?: It supports the current Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard made for the 11-inch Air. Older accessories may not fit, so check compatibility before buying.
How much storage do I need?: 256GB suits most people for apps, photos and a few downloaded shows. Heavy video editors or game libraries should consider more.
Is the 11-inch screen big enough for split-screen work?: Yes for notes, email and reading side by side. For heavy spreadsheet or design work, the 13-inch Air is more comfortable.
When is it likely to be cheapest?: New iPads usually see their first real discounts around major sales events and back-to-school season. At $828 it is close to launch price, so a drop is likely within a few months.
Does it have cellular?: This listing is the Wi-Fi model only. A cellular version exists but costs more and needs a data plan.
Where is the Apple 11-inch iPad Air Wi-Fi 256GB (M4) cheapest?: At Walmart, for $828.00, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Apple 11-inch iPad Air Wi-Fi 256GB (M4)?: Rated 4.3 out of 5 from 101 ratings.
