Our take on the Apple iPad Air 11" 256GB M3 Chip Wi-Fi Tablet

The iPad Air 11 with the M3 chip is Apple's mid-tier tablet, sitting between the base iPad and the iPad Pro. It has an 11-inch Liquid Retina display, 256GB of storage, Wi-Fi 6E, and support for the Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard. It suits students, note-takers, artists and anyone who wants near-Pro speed without the Pro's price or OLED panel. Against the iPad Pro it gives up the tandem OLED screen, ProMotion and Face ID; against the base iPad it adds the M3, a laminated display and better accessories.

What reviewers say

Owners and reviewers rate the M3 Air as a fast, well-built tablet that covers most people's needs. Many say the screen and speakers fall short of the iPad Pro, and some call the accessory prices steep.

What people mention
  • PerformancePraisedReviewers say the M3 keeps up with heavy apps, games and multitasking without slowdown.

Questions and answers

Is the M3 iPad Air worth it over the M2 model?
If you already own an M2 Air, the jump is small. For buyers coming from an older iPad or the base model, the M3 gives noticeably faster performance and longer software support.
How does it compare with the iPad Pro?
The Pro adds an OLED screen, ProMotion and Face ID, and is thinner. The Air keeps the same chip family and Apple Pencil Pro support for less.
Does it work with the Apple Pencil Pro?
Yes. It supports the Apple Pencil Pro and the USB-C Apple Pencil, and the Magic Keyboard for iPad Air.
How much storage do I need?
256GB suits most people: apps, photos and a few downloaded shows. Heavy video editors or gamers may want more.
What is in the box?
The iPad, a USB-C charging cable and a power adapter. The Pencil and keyboard are not included.
Is the 11-inch screen big enough for work?
For notes, email, documents and split-screen apps, yes. For heavy spreadsheet or video editing, the 13-inch Air gives more room.
