Our take on the iPad Air 11-Inch M3 128GB

The iPad Air 11-inch (M3) is Apple's mid-tier tablet, sitting between the base iPad and the iPad Pro. The M3 chip handles multitasking, video editing and games with headroom, and the 11-inch Liquid Retina display with True Tone is bright and color-accurate. It supports Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard, both sold separately, so it can turn into a note-taking or typing machine. Against the iPad Pro it gives up the OLED screen, ProMotion and Face ID; against the base iPad it adds the faster chip, laminated display and newer accessory support.

Questions and answers

Is the M3 iPad Air worth it over the M2 model?
The M3 brings more speed for editing and games and supports the same Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard. If you mainly stream and browse, an older Air still does the job.
Does it work with the Apple Pencil Pro?
Yes. It supports Apple Pencil Pro, which adds squeeze, barrel roll and haptic feedback. The pencil is sold separately.
Can I use a keyboard with it?
Yes, it works with the Magic Keyboard for iPad Air, sold separately. That turns it into a laptop-style setup for typing and trackpad use.
How does it compare with the iPad Pro?
The Pro adds an OLED display, ProMotion and Face ID. The Air keeps the M3 chip and a good LCD screen for less.
Is 128GB enough?
It is fine for notes, streaming and browsing. Heavy video editing or large game libraries will push you to a higher capacity or cloud storage.
What is in the box?
The iPad Air and a USB-C charging cable. The power adapter, Apple Pencil and keyboard are not included.
Where is the iPad Air 11-Inch M3 128GB cheapest?
