Our take on the Apple 11-inch iPad Air Wi-Fi + Cellular 1TB

The 11-inch iPad Air with the M3 chip is Apple's mid-range tablet, sitting below the iPad Pro and above the base iPad. This configuration pairs 1TB of storage with Wi-Fi and 5G cellular, aimed at people who want a large local library and always-on connectivity. The Liquid Retina display, 12MP Center Stage front camera, and support for Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard make it a capable work and creative machine. The 1TB cellular version is the most expensive Air, so it only makes sense if you need both the storage and the mobile data.

Questions and answers

Is the 1TB cellular iPad Air worth it over the 256GB model?
Only if you keep large video, photo or game libraries on the device and need cellular data. Most buyers are better served by a smaller capacity plus cloud storage, since the 1TB cellular model costs much more.
Does the M3 iPad Air work with Apple Pencil Pro?
Yes. It supports Apple Pencil Pro and the USB-C Apple Pencil, and the Pencil is sold separately.
Can I use a physical SIM card?
No. The cellular model uses eSIM only, so you activate a plan through your carrier or an eSIM app.
Is a keyboard included?
No. The Magic Keyboard and Smart Folio are separate purchases.
How does it compare to the iPad Pro?
The Air gives you the same M-series class of performance and a good Liquid Retina screen, but the Pro adds OLED, 120Hz ProMotion and Face ID at a higher price.
Does it have a headphone jack or card slot?
Neither. It charges and connects over USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2) and storage cannot be expanded.
