Our take on the Apple iPad Air Wi-Fi Cellular 256GB
The 2022 iPad Air is Apple's mid-range tablet, built around the same M1 chip that powered the MacBook Air. This version adds 5G cellular and 256GB of storage, so it works away from Wi-Fi. It sits between the base iPad and the iPad Pro: it has the Pro's flat-edge design, USB-C and Apple Pencil 2 support, but no ProMotion display or Face ID. Reviewers call it the sweet spot of the lineup for most people.
- M1 chip handles heavy apps, multitasking and games with ease
- 10.9-inch laminated display with wide P3 color and anti-reflective coating
- 5G keeps it connected on the move
- 256GB gives room for apps, photos and offline video
- Works with Apple Pencil 2 and the Magic Keyboard
- USB-C port for drives, cameras and hubs

What reviewers say
Reviewers and owners rate the M1 iPad Air as fast, light and well built, and many call it the best iPad for most buyers. The common complaints are the 60Hz screen and the price of accessories.
- PerformancePraisedOwners say the M1 chip keeps apps, games and split-screen multitasking smooth with no slowdown.
- DisplayMixedReviewers like the bright, laminated screen but many call the 60Hz refresh rate a step behind the Pro.
- BatteryPraisedOwners report it lasting a full day of browsing, video and note-taking on a charge.
Questions and answers
- Is the M1 iPad Air still worth buying?
- Yes, for most people. The M1 chip is far more powerful than everyday apps need, and the 10.9-inch screen, USB-C and Pencil 2 support cover school, work and drawing. Only buy the iPad Pro if you need a 120Hz screen or Face ID.
- How does it compare with the iPad Pro?
- The Air shares the Pro's flat design, USB-C and Pencil 2 support but has a 60Hz display, Touch ID instead of Face ID, and two speakers instead of four. The Pro adds ProMotion, brighter mini-LED on the 12.9-inch model and more storage options.
- Do I need the cellular version?
- Only if you often work away from Wi-Fi. The cellular model takes a 5G data plan, which means another monthly bill. If you mostly use it at home or on campus, the Wi-Fi model is enough.
- Does it work with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard?
- Yes. It supports the second-generation Apple Pencil, which attaches magnetically to the side to charge, and the Magic Keyboard for iPad Air. Both are sold separately.
- Is 256GB enough storage?
- For most people, yes. It holds a large app and game library, offline video and photo edits with room to spare. Choose more only if you store lots of 4K video or large project files.
- What is in the box?
- The iPad Air, a USB-C charging cable and a power adapter. The Pencil, keyboard and case are not included.
