Our take on the Apple 13-inch iPad Air Wi-Fi + Cellular 1TB - Space Gray (M4)

The 13-inch iPad Air with the M4 chip is Apple's large-screen tablet for people who want laptop-class speed without a MacBook. This 1TB Wi-Fi + Cellular model adds 5G, Wi-Fi 7, 12GB of RAM and a 2732x2048 screen, and it works with Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard (keyboard sold separately). At $1,699 at Best Buy as of November 8, 2026, it sits at the top of the Air line because 1TB and cellular are the priciest options. Shoppers who don't need that much storage can spend far less on a smaller-capacity Wi-Fi model.

Pros
  • M4 chip and 12GB RAM handle heavy multitasking and editing
  • 13.3-inch 2732x2048 screen gives plenty of room for split apps
  • 5G and Wi-Fi 7 keep it connected almost anywhere
  • 1TB storage holds large photo, video and app libraries

Cons
  • $1,699 is the most expensive Air configuration
  • Keyboard and stylus cost extra
  • No Face ID; it uses a fingerprint reader instead
  • No memory card slot, so storage can't be expanded
  • Heavier and bulkier than the 11-inch Air

Questions and answers

Is the M4 iPad Air worth it over the M2 model?
If you keep many apps open or edit large files, the M4 and 12GB of RAM give more headroom. For browsing, streaming and notes, the older M2 Air is still capable and often cheaper.
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 is the 1TB cellular model different from the Wi-Fi model?
It adds 5G mobile data and 1TB of storage. The Wi-Fi-only version is lighter on the budget but needs a hotspot away from home.
Is 1TB of storage necessary?
Only if you store large video, photo or game libraries on the device. Most people get by with 256GB or 512GB and cloud storage.
When is the best time to buy?
Apple tablets usually see discounts around back-to-school and Black Friday. The $1,699 at Best Buy as of November 8, 2026 is the current best new price; watch for drops below it.
