Our take on the Apple iPad Air M3 (2025) 11-inch Wi-Fi+Cellular 128GB

The 2025 iPad Air 11-inch moves to Apple's M3 chip, the same silicon family used in MacBooks, and keeps the 2360x1640 Liquid Retina display at 264 ppi. This cellular version adds 5G and eSIM, so it works away from Wi-Fi, and it supports the Apple Pencil Pro and USB-C accessories at USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds. It sits between the base iPad and the iPad Pro: the Pro adds a 120Hz OLED screen and Face ID, while the Air keeps Touch ID and an LCD panel at a lower weight of about 16 ounces. Reviewers treat it as the sensible pick for note-taking, drawing and streaming, with the M3 giving headroom for years of iPadOS updates.

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. Coming from an older iPad or the base model, the M3 gives noticeably more headroom for drawing, editing and multitasking.
How does it compare with the iPad Pro?
The Pro has a 120Hz OLED screen and Face ID. The Air keeps an LCD at 60Hz but weighs less and covers most creative and productivity work at a lower outlay.
Does it work with the Apple Pencil Pro?
Yes. It supports Apple Pencil Pro features like hover, squeeze and barrel roll, and it also works with the USB-C Apple Pencil.
Is 128GB enough?
For notes, streaming and browsing, yes. If you shoot lots of video, keep large game libraries or download movies, consider a higher storage tier.
Can I use it as a laptop replacement?
With a keyboard case it handles email, documents and split-screen apps well. Heavy desktop software still needs a Mac or PC.
What is in the box?
The iPad Air, a USB-C charging cable and a power adapter. The keyboard and Pencil are sold separately.
