Our take on the Apple iPad Air 13-inch (M3) Wi-Fi + Cellular 512GB

The 13-inch iPad Air (M3) is Apple's large-screen tablet for people who want laptop-scale workspace without a laptop. The M3 chip, 512GB of storage and 5G make it a capable machine for editing, drawing and multitasking, and it runs Apple Intelligence. Reviewers rate it highly for speed and screen size, but note it sits below the iPad Pro on display technology and lacks a headphone jack.

Questions and answers

Is the M3 iPad Air worth it over the M2 model?
The M3 brings faster graphics and Apple Intelligence support. If you already own an M2 Air, the jump is modest; for older iPads it is a clear upgrade.
How does it compare with the iPad Pro?
The Air uses an IPS LED display and Touch ID, while the Pro adds a tandem OLED screen, Face ID and a faster chip. The Air covers most creative work for less.
Does it work with the Apple Pencil Pro?
Yes. It supports Apple Pencil Pro, the Magic Keyboard and the Smart Folio, all sold separately.
What is in the box?
The iPad, a USB-C charge cable and a power adapter. The Pencil and keyboard are not included.
Does the cellular model need a separate plan?
Yes. 5G requires a data plan from a carrier or an eSIM plan; Wi-Fi works without one.
How much storage does 512GB give?
Enough for large photo and video libraries, drawing apps and offline media, with room to spare for most users.
