Our take on the Apple 13-inch iPad Air Wi-Fi 256GB Space Gray (M4)

The 13-inch iPad Air is Apple's large-screen tablet for people who want more canvas than an 11-inch model without paying iPad Pro money. It runs the M4 chip, has 256GB of storage, a single rear camera and one USB-C port, and works with Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard. Against the iPad Pro it gives up the tandem OLED display, ProMotion and Face ID, but it is lighter on the wallet and still fast for drawing, note-taking and split-screen work. Reviewers rate it highly for screen size and speed while noting the 60Hz panel and LCD blacks as the main compromises.

Questions and answers

Is the 13-inch iPad Air M4 worth it over the 11-inch?
If you mostly work in split screen, draw or watch video, the extra canvas is the main reason to pick the 13-inch. The 11-inch is easier to hold one-handed and fits better in a bag.
How does it compare with the iPad Pro M4?
The Pro adds a tandem OLED display, ProMotion, Face ID and a thinner body. The Air keeps the same M4-class speed for most tasks and is the better fit if you don't need the better screen.
Does it work with Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard?
Yes, it supports Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard made for this generation. Check the accessory listing for the 13-inch Air, since older Pencil and keyboard models may not fit.
How much battery life should I expect?
Apple rates it for about a full day of mixed use, roughly 10 hours of web browsing or video. Heavy drawing or gaming drains it faster.
Is 256GB enough?
For apps, photos and streaming, yes. If you store large video projects or big game libraries, consider more storage or external USB-C drives.
What's in the box?
The tablet, a USB-C charging cable and documentation. The power adapter and any Pencil or keyboard are sold separately.
