  • Our take on the Apple iPad Air 11-inch (M3) 256GB Wi-Fi

    The iPad Air 11-inch (M3) is Apple's mid-range tablet, sitting between the base iPad and the iPad Pro. It pairs the M3 chip and 8GB of RAM with a 11-inch Liquid Retina IPS LCD at 1640x2360, and it works with the Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard. Compared with the iPad Pro it gives up the OLED screen, ProMotion and Face ID, but it is lighter and cheaper for the same everyday apps. Reviewers call it the sensible pick for students, note-takers and casual creators who want laptop-class speed without Pro pricing.

    Questions and answers

    Is the M3 iPad Air worth it over the M2 model?
    Yes if you want the extra performance and longer software support. The M2 Air is still fine for browsing, notes and streaming, so the upgrade matters most for editing and heavy multitasking.
    How does it compare with the iPad Pro?
    The Air has the same M-series speed for most tasks but an LCD screen without ProMotion and Touch ID instead of Face ID. The Pro adds OLED, a faster refresh rate and a thinner body.
    Does it work with the Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard?
    Yes. It supports the Apple Pencil Pro, the USB-C Pencil and the Magic Keyboard made for the 11-inch Air. Older Pencil and keyboard models may not fit.
    How long does the battery last?
    Apple rates it at about 10 hours of web browsing or video. Owners typically get a full day of mixed use and charge it overnight.
    Is 256GB enough?
    For most people, yes. It holds apps, photos and offline video with room to spare. Heavy video editors and game libraries should consider more.
    What is in the box?
    The tablet and a USB-C charging cable. The power adapter, Apple Pencil and keyboard are sold separately.
