Apple iPad Air (2025) review: Pro power at Air price

The 13-inch iPad Air (2025) isn't the most exciting year-on-year upgrade but it remains the iPad to buy for creatives who don't want to spend $1,000 on the Pro.

Clean design ; Sharp screen for creativity and productivity ; M3 power boost at no added cost ; More affordable new Magic Keyboard ; Good battery life

Expensive storage and connectivity upgrades ; Display needs better smudge-resistance ; iPadOS has its quirks ; Accessories are quite pricey

“The new iPad Air brings pro-level power at a more affordable price. With the M3 chip, a sharp display, and solid accessories support, it remains the go-to device for creativity and productivity.”

iPad Air M3 review: A modest update that's still easy to recommend

The iPad Air still hits the sweet spot in Apple's tablet lineup, offering a lot of additional features over the basic iPad while keeping a relatively affordable price.

iPad Air (2025): Still the best iPad for students and creators

The 2025 iPad Air is largely the same as its predecessor, but a faster processor provides more power for students and creators to work and play.

I tested the new iPad Air, and it's like a tablet and MacBook rolled into one

Now with an M3 chip and a new Magic Keyboard option, the iPad Air M3 promises to not only be the best portable tablet but a real mini laptop replacement, too

Super fast M3 chip, Choice of two sizes, New Magic Keyboard is excellent

Small change from the previous version, iPadOS still isn’t as good as macOS for some functions, No Face ID

Still the best iPad for most people, the iPad Air M3 offers an incredibly powerful solution in a very compact form. It’s perfect for creators, thanks to the Apple Pencil Pro support and with the new Magic Keyboard, it’s a bona fide laptop alternative....

I tested the 11-inch iPad Air with M3 for five days, and it stretches the value even further with more power for the same price

Familiar looks with way more speed

M3 chip provides plenty of power ; Vibrant screen ; Strong battery life and audio

Still no ProMotion display ; No major changes to design

Apple hasn’t changed a whole lot with the iPad Air with M3, but it didn't really have to. The upgrade to Apple’s more powerful M3 chip from the M2 after less than a year sets the new Air up to be a capable performer for a good few years to come, and...

iPad Air M3 Review: Once Again, the Pro iPad for Most

A year passed and not much has changed. But the basic iPad remains appealing for its price alone.

Fast M3 processor ; Price hasn't increased ; New, less expensive Magic Keyboard option

Lacks OLED display of Pro model ; Configs can get expensive fast ; Apple Intelligence still doesn't feel necessary

Apple 11-inch iPad Air (M3) review: Is there a good reason to buy this?

Does giving the iPad Air the more powerful M3 chip change anything? #apple #ipadair #m3

Excellent performance ; Fantastic LCD display ; Works with Apple Pencil Pro ; New Magic Keyboard is great ; Great battery life

Pricey, not good value ; Only 60Hz display ; Accessories are expensive ; iPadOS quirks and limitations

The TL;DR version: Adding the M3 chip has made the iPad Air faster, but that doesn’t solve its problems nor make it a more compelling option. Ultimately, most people will be better served by the basic iPad. Note: You can find the iPad Air on Lazada ,...
