Questions and answers

Yes if you want the M3 chip, the laminated 11-inch display and Apple Pencil Pro support. The base iPad is cheaper but slower and has an older screen.

The Pro has a brighter tandem OLED screen, ProMotion and a thinner body. The Air M3 costs less and handles most apps and games just as well.

Yes. It supports Apple Pencil Pro, the Magic Keyboard for iPad Air and the Smart Folio. Older Pencil 2 and older Magic Keyboards do not fit.
