  • 1 TB storage suits large photo, video and app libraries
  • Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 keep it current for years

Questions and answers

Is the M4 iPad Air worth it over the M2 model?
Yes if you want Wi-Fi 7, more RAM and the newer chip for heavier multitasking. For basic browsing and streaming, the older Air still does the job.
Does it come with a keyboard or Apple Pencil?
No. The box has the iPad and a USB-C cable; the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil are sold separately.
How does it compare with the iPad Pro?
The Air has an LCD panel and lacks the Pro's OLED display and ProMotion. It costs less and still runs the same apps.
Is the 1 TB version worth the extra cost?
Only if you store large video, photo or game libraries locally. Most buyers are fine with 256 GB or 512 GB.
Is it water resistant?
It carries an IP67 rating, so it survives splashes and brief immersion. Apple still does not cover liquid damage under warranty.
When is it cheapest?
Apple tablets typically drop during Black Friday and back-to-school sales. Track the price history here before buying.
