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

The 2025 iPad Air M3 brings Apple's laptop-class M3 chip to the Air line, alongside 5G cellular and Apple Pencil Pro support. It sits between the iPad (A16) and iPad Pro M4, offering near-Pro performance without the Pro's OLED display or price. Reviewers praise its speed and portability, though some note the 60Hz LCD feels dated next to ProMotion rivals. It suits students, creatives, and professionals who want a powerful, portable tablet with cellular connectivity.
