Amazing upgrade
Bought this as a gift for my mum. It was so easy to set up and transfer her apps and info from her old iPad. She resisted upgrading for the longest time and now she can finally download new apps that don't work on the old iPad.

Just right
This is probably the model to get out of the current iPad lineup. Nicer screen and more powerful than the regular iPad, fast enough and does 90% of what the pro model does for a lot cheaper. Cons: the back panel runs a bit warm sometimes and no high refresh screen at this price.

Light and powerful
This tablet is so thin and light, but it packs a high end processor, more powerful than all but the most recent laptops. Apple's iOS is the gold standard in tablet operating systems, with the best range of apps around. For example, we sing in a choir and the sheet music apps available for Android just aren't as good. Highly recommended.

At a glance
The iPad Air 11-inch M3 Wi-Fi 128GB is a slim, premium tablet for students, professionals and families who want strong day-to-day performance in an easy-to-carry size. Its key strengths are the bright 11-inch display, lightweight 0.46 kg build and smooth Apple ecosystem experience. The main limitation is that 128GB storage may feel tight if you keep lots of large apps, videos or creative files on-device.

Key benefits

Q: Does the Apple iPad Air 11-inch M3 support Apple Pencil Pro?
A: Yes. This iPad Air supports both Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C), and the display supports Apple Pencil hover. If you want the broader gesture and creative toolset, choose Pencil Pro rather than older Apple Pencil models.
Q: Does this 128GB iPad Air have mobile data, or is it Wi-Fi only?
A: No. This specific model is Wi-Fi only, so it connects to the internet over Wi-Fi and does not have the mobile data hardware found in Wi-Fi + Cellular versions. Choose a cellular model if you need connectivity away from Wi-Fi.
Q: Does the iPad Air 11-inch M3 use Touch ID or Face ID?
A: It uses Touch ID. The fingerprint sensor is built into the top button for unlocking, purchases and app sign-ins. That suits buyers who prefer fingerprint authentication, but this model does not use Face ID facial recognition.
Q: Is the 11-inch screen size the actual visible display size?
A: The listed 11-inch size is measured diagonally as a standard rectangle. Apple specifies an actual diagonal of 10.86 inches because the display corners are rounded, so the visible area is slightly smaller than a full rectangle.
Q: Is the iPad Air 11-inch M3 light enough for travel or daily carry?
A: Yes. At 460 grams and 6.1 mm thin, this iPad Air is easy to carry for commuting, travel and reading on the go. The trade-off is a smaller on-screen workspace than a larger tablet when using split-screen apps.
Q: What charger and cable come in the box with this iPad Air?
A: In the box you get a 20W USB-C power adapter and a 1 metre USB-C charge cable. A different USB-C charger can also charge it, but charging speed will vary with the charger's wattage and the cable used.
Q: How can I identify this exact blue 128GB iPad Air model?
A: The model code for this blue Wi-Fi 128GB version is MC9X4X/A. It is the 2025 iPad Air 11-inch with the M3 chip, which helps separate it from older iPad Air generations when comparing accessories or support information.
