Our take on the Apple iPad Air 10.5" A12, WiFi + Cellular, 256GB, 3rd Generation
The iPad Air 3rd generation is a 10.5-inch tablet with Apple's A12 Bionic chip, a Retina display with True Tone, and support for the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard. This version adds cellular LTE alongside Wi-Fi and comes with 256GB of storage, so it works away from Wi-Fi and holds a large app and media library. It sits between the base iPad and the iPad Pro: lighter and cheaper than the Pro, but with a laminated, fully bonded screen and better accessories than the entry iPad. Owners rate it highly for everyday speed and portability, though the A12 is now several generations old and the design uses Lightning and a home button rather than the newer flat-edge look.
- A12 Bionic handles apps, games and multitasking smoothly
- Laminated 10.5-inch Retina display with True Tone
- Works with Apple Pencil (1st gen) and Smart Keyboard
- Cellular LTE keeps it connected without Wi-Fi
- Thin, light aluminum body around 1 lb

Questions and answers
- Is the iPad Air 3rd generation still worth buying?
- For browsing, streaming, notes and light work it remains capable thanks to the A12 chip and laminated screen. If you need the fastest chip or USB-C, a newer iPad Air is the better fit.
- Does it work with the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard?
- Yes. It supports the first-generation Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard, both sold separately.
- What is the difference between this and the standard iPad?
- The Air has a laminated, fully bonded 10.5-inch display, a lighter body and support for the Smart Keyboard. The standard iPad uses a non-laminated screen and a different keyboard connector.
- Does the cellular version need a SIM card?
- It takes a physical nano-SIM or an eSIM data plan from a carrier. Wi-Fi still works without one.
- How much storage does this model have?
- This version has 256GB of internal storage, which is not expandable, so choose based on how many apps, photos and videos you keep on device.
- What is in the box?
- The iPad, a Lightning cable and a power adapter. The Pencil and keyboard are not included.
