Is the M1 iPad Air still worth buying?

Yes, if you want M1 speed and Apple Pencil support at a lower price than the iPad Pro. It handles everyday apps, streaming and light editing well.

How does it compare with the iPad Pro 11-inch?

The Pro adds a 120Hz ProMotion display, Face ID and more storage options. The Air keeps the same M1 chip and size for less money.

Is 64 GB enough storage?

It is tight for games, downloaded video and photo libraries. If you keep many apps or files on the device, look at a higher-capacity model.

Does it work with the Apple Pencil?

Yes, it supports the second-generation Apple Pencil, which attaches magnetically and charges wirelessly.

Is a keyboard included?

No. Keyboards such as the Magic Keyboard and Smart Keyboard Folio are sold separately.
