Our take on the Apple 11-inch iPad Air Wi-Fi 512GB - Blue (M4)

The 11-inch iPad Air is Apple's mid-tier tablet, sitting between the base iPad and the iPad Pro. This 2026 model runs an Apple M2 chip with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, a 2360x1640 Retina display, USB-C, Wi-Fi 5G and Bluetooth 5.3, plus a Touch ID fingerprint reader in the top button. At $1,049 at Best Buy as of November 8, 2026, it is the only new price we have on record, so there is no recent range to compare it against.

About 512GB before system files, which is plenty for apps, photos and offline video. There is no memory card slot, so pick your size up front.
