Is the 13-inch iPad Air (M2) worth it over the 11-inch Air?

The iPad Pro adds an OLED display, ProMotion 120Hz, Face ID and a thinner body. The Air keeps the M2 chip and Apple Pencil Pro support at a lower tier of features.

Does it work with Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard?

Yes. It supports Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard made for this 13-inch Air. Older Pencil and keyboard models may not fit or may lack features.

How much storage should I get?

This model has 256GB, which suits apps, photos and some video. Heavy video editors and large game libraries should consider the 512GB or 1TB versions.

Is the display good for drawing?

Yes. The 13-inch Liquid Retina panel with P3 wide color and True Tone is well suited to sketching and editing, and Apple Pencil Pro adds pressure and tilt support. It is not 120Hz like the Pro.

What reviewers say

Owners and reviewers treat the 13-inch Air as the sensible big-screen iPad: fast, light for its size and good for split-screen work and drawing. Most criticism centers on the LCD screen and 60Hz refresh rate next to the iPad Pro, and on the cost of adding accessories.
