Our take on the Apple iPad Air M3 (2025) 11-inch Wi-Fi 256GB

The 2025 iPad Air 11-inch swaps in Apple's M3 chip, the same silicon family used in MacBooks, giving it desktop-class speed for editing, drawing and multitasking. It keeps the Liquid Retina display at 2360x1640 (264 ppi), adds a 12MP Center Stage front camera and Wi-Fi 6E, and works with Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard. It sits below the iPad Pro, which offers a brighter tandem OLED screen and ProMotion, but above the base iPad, which has an older chip and a non-laminated display. Reviewers call it the sweet spot of the lineup: fast, light at about a pound, and enough tablet for most people without Pro money.

  • BatteryPraisedReviewers report a full day of mixed use, with several hours of video playback on a charge.
  • AccessoriesCriticisedBuyers complain the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro are extra purchases that raise the real cost.

Questions and answers

Is the M3 iPad Air worth it over the M2 model?
If you already own an M2 Air, the jump is modest. Buyers coming from older iPads or the base iPad get a clear speed and accessory-support upgrade.
How does it compare with the iPad Pro?
The Pro adds an OLED screen, ProMotion and a thinner body. The Air matches it on M-series speed for most apps and costs less, so choose the Pro only if screen quality matters most.
Does it work with Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard?
Yes. It supports Apple Pencil Pro, the Magic Keyboard and the Smart Folio. Older Pencil 2 and older Magic Keyboards do not fit.
How much storage should I get?
256GB suits most students and note-takers. If you edit 4K video or keep large game libraries, consider 512GB, since there is no memory card slot.
Is the 11-inch screen big enough for work?
It handles documents, split-screen apps and drawing well. For heavy spreadsheets or video timelines, the 13-inch Air gives more room.
What is in the box?
The iPad, a USB-C charging cable and a power adapter. The keyboard, stylus and folio are sold separately.
