Is the M4 iPad Air worth it over the M2 model?

Yes if you want Wi-Fi 7, more RAM and longer software support. If you mainly stream video, an older Air or base iPad covers it for less.

Does it come with a keyboard or Apple Pencil?

No. The box has the iPad and a USB-C cable only. A Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil are sold separately.

The Pro adds an OLED screen, Face ID and a thinner body. The Air keeps most of the speed for less money.

For most people, yes. It holds large app libraries, photos and downloaded video; there is no memory card slot, so buy the storage you need up front.

This listing includes a Nano-SIM slot and 5G support, but it is a Wi-Fi model, so check the exact variant before buying if cellular matters.
