Our take on the Apple iPad Air M3 (2025) 13-inch Wi-Fi 256GB

The 2025 iPad Air moves to Apple's M3 chip, bringing hardware ray tracing and a faster Neural Engine to the Air line. The 13-inch model has a 2732x2048 display, 8GB of RAM, and support for the new Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro. It sits between the iPad Pro, which adds an OLED screen and ProMotion, and the base iPad, which uses an older chip and a non-laminated display. Reviewers praise its performance and larger screen, but note it lacks Face ID and a 120Hz refresh rate.
