Our take on the Apple iPad Air 11'' Wi-Fi + Cellular 128GB

The iPad Air 11-inch is Apple's mid-tier tablet, now with the M4 chip and 128GB of storage plus cellular data for use away from Wi-Fi. It sits between the base iPad and the iPad Pro: fast enough for editing, drawing and multitasking, lighter and cheaper-feeling than the Pro, but without its OLED screen or ProMotion. Reviewers rate the M-series performance and all-day battery highly; the main complaints are the 60Hz LCD and the cost of adding cellular and accessories.

Questions and answers

Is the iPad Air 11-inch M4 worth it over the base iPad?
Yes if you want the faster M4 chip, a laminated screen and support for the newer Pencil and keyboard. The base iPad is enough for browsing, video and light notes.
How does it compare with the iPad Pro?
The Air gives you most of the Pro's speed in a lighter body, but the Pro adds an OLED screen, ProMotion and Face ID. The Air is the better value for most people.
Does the cellular model need a SIM card?
It uses an eSIM, so you activate a data plan through your carrier or the settings app. There is no physical SIM tray on current models.
What comes in the box?
The iPad, a USB-C charging cable and a power adapter. The Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard are sold separately.
Is 128GB enough?
It is fine for streaming, browsing and notes. If you shoot lots of video or keep large games and photo libraries, step up to a larger capacity.
Does it work with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard?
Yes, it supports the USB-C Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard made for the 11-inch Air. Older Pencil and keyboard models may not fit.
Where is the Apple iPad Air 11'' Wi-Fi + Cellular 128GB cheapest?
