Our take on the Apple iPad Air (M3) 13" 128GB Wi-Fi Tablet
The iPad Air 13 (M3) is Apple's large-screen mid-range tablet, sitting below the iPad Pro and above the 11-inch Air. It pairs the M3 chip with a 13-inch Liquid Retina display, 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi, and works with the Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard. It suits people who want a big canvas for split-screen work, drawing or video without paying Pro prices. Against the Pro it gives up the tandem OLED screen, ProMotion and Face ID, but it is lighter and simpler; reviewers rate the M3 speed and screen size highly while noting the 60Hz refresh and the cost of accessories.
- M3 chip handles heavy apps, editing and multitasking with ease
- 13-inch Liquid Retina display gives a roomy canvas for two apps side by side
- Lighter and thinner than earlier large iPads, easy to hold
- Works with Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard
- Long battery life and strong resale value

Questions and answers
- Is the M3 iPad Air 13 worth it over the iPad Pro?
- For most people, yes. It has the same large screen size and the fast M3 chip, and gives up OLED, ProMotion and Face ID. Choose the Pro only if you need that display quality or the thinnest body.
- How does it compare with the 11-inch iPad Air?
- Same chip, cameras and accessories, but the 13-inch model has a much larger screen for split-screen work and video. It is heavier, so the 11-inch is easier to hold one-handed.
- Does it work with the Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard?
- Yes. It supports the Apple Pencil Pro, including squeeze and barrel roll, and the 13-inch Magic Keyboard. Both are sold separately.
- How is the battery life?
- Apple rates it for about 10 hours of web browsing or video. Owners report a full day of mixed use, with heavier gaming or editing draining it faster.
- Is 128GB enough?
- It is fine for streaming, browsing, notes and cloud-stored photos. If you shoot lots of video, install big games or keep media offline, a higher capacity is the safer choice.
- Does it have Face ID or a headphone jack?
- No to both. It unlocks with Touch ID in the top button and has USB-C only, with no headphone jack.
