Our take on the Apple 11-inch iPad Air Wi-Fi + Cellular 512GB

The 11-inch iPad Air with the M4 chip is Apple's mid-tier tablet, sitting between the base iPad and the iPad Pro. It pairs a 2360x1640 Liquid Retina display with the M4 for fast everyday work, drawing, and gaming, and adds cellular so it works away from Wi-Fi. The 512GB model suits people who keep large photo, video, or app libraries on the device. Against the iPad Pro it gives up the tandem OLED screen, ProMotion, and Face ID, but it costs far less and runs the same iPadOS apps.

Questions and answers

Is the M4 iPad Air fast enough for video editing?
Yes. The M4 handles 4K editing in apps like LumaFusion and iMovie well. Very long timelines with many effects will still favor the iPad Pro.
Does it work with the Apple Pencil Pro?
Yes, it supports the Apple Pencil Pro and USB-C Pencil. The Pencil is sold separately.
How is it different from the iPad Pro?
The Air has an LCD screen at 60Hz, Touch ID, and one rear camera. The Pro adds tandem OLED, ProMotion, Face ID, and more cameras.
Do I need a separate data plan for cellular?
Yes. Cellular models need a carrier plan or eSIM data plan. Wi-Fi still works without one.
What is in the box?
The iPad, a USB-C charge cable, and a power adapter. The Pencil and keyboard are not included.
Is 512GB enough?
It suits large photo and video libraries and many installed apps. Most casual users need far less.
