Our take on the Apple 13-inch iPad Air Wi-Fi + Cellular 512GB

The 13-inch iPad Air is Apple's large-screen mid-range tablet, now built around the M4 chip with 512GB of storage and optional cellular. It pairs a 13-inch Retina display with Wi-Fi 6E, USB-C, Touch ID and an IP67 rating, a combination the iPad Pro only partly matches on durability. It suits people who want a big canvas for split-screen work, drawing or streaming without stepping up to the Pro's price and OLED panel. Against the 11-inch Air it gives noticeably more room for two apps side by side; against the iPad Pro it gives up the tandem OLED screen, ProMotion and Face ID. Owners rate it highly for speed and screen size, with the size and weight the main complaints.

Questions and answers

Is the 13-inch iPad Air worth it over the 11-inch?
If you work in split screen, draw or watch a lot of video, the extra screen area is the main reason to pick the 13-inch. The 11-inch is easier to hold and carry.
How does it compare with the iPad Pro?
The Pro adds an OLED screen with ProMotion, Face ID and a thinner body. The Air keeps the same M4-class speed for most tasks and adds an IP67 rating the Pro lacks.
Do I need the cellular version?
Only if you often work away from Wi-Fi. The cellular model needs a separate data plan, and the Wi-Fi model covers home and office use.
Is 512GB enough storage?
Yes for most people. It leaves room for apps, photos and offline video; heavy video editors may want more.
What comes in the box?
The tablet and a USB-C cable. The charger and Apple Pencil are sold separately.
Does it work with the Apple Pencil and keyboard?
Yes, it supports the current Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard folio for the 13-inch Air.
