iPad Air Models Compared

Both sizes share the same M4 chip and features.

Model	Display	Brightness	Weight (Wi-Fi)	Battery	Storage

iPad Air 13″ (M4)	13″ Liquid Retina, 2732 x 2048	600 nits	616 g	36.59Wh, up to 10 hours	128GB to 1TB

Available in Blue, Purple, Starlight and Space Grey, in Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi + Cellular (5G) models.

iPad Air 11-inch vs 13-inch

Performance is identical, so choose on size, weight and screen.

The 11-inch iPad Air (about 464 g) is easy to carry to lectures and meetings and fits in any bag. The 13-inch iPad Air (about 616 g) gives you a laptop-sized canvas for split-screen multitasking, drawing and reading documents, with a brighter 600-nit display and a larger battery.

iPad Air vs iPad Pro

Is the iPad Pro worth the extra cost?

The iPad Pro adds a Tandem OLED Ultra Retina XDR display with ProMotion up to 120Hz and 1600 nits peak HDR brightness, Face ID, four speakers, LiDAR, Thunderbolt / USB 4, up to 2TB storage and an even thinner design.

For note-taking, study, office work, photo editing and most drawing, the iPad Air delivers the same Apple Pencil Pro experience at a much lower price. Choose the Pro if you are a professional artist, photographer or video editor who will use the display and speed every day.

iPad Air vs iPad (A16)

The entry-level iPad is cheaper, so what do you gain with the Air?

The iPad Air has the far more powerful M4 chip with 12GB memory, a fully laminated anti-reflective display with P3 colour, Apple Pencil Pro support, Wi-Fi 7, USB-C at 10Gb/s (versus USB 2 on the iPad), a 13-inch option and support for Apple Intelligence. If you use your iPad for more than browsing and streaming, the Air will stay fast for many more years.
