Apple's midrange tablet is now an option for creatives and gamers alike, but it lacks exciting upgrades all around.
M3 offers a bit of a performance boost. Equipped with advanced graphics architecture. Supports the new Magic Keyboard Case. Supports Apple Intelligence. 5G connectivity.
Still heavier and thicker than the iPad Pro. Still a basic LCD screen. Expensive with accessories. Battery life remains the same. No new color options. iPadOS continues to be a pain to use.

The iPad Air has been given a processor upgrade in 2025: the Apple M3 now delivers the power and should make the tablet one of the fastest on the market. In our test, we took a look at what else Apple has come up with to keep its 12.9-inch tablet...
high-quality unibody case;super fast SoC;no PWM flickering;likely long update delivery period;focus on sustainability;great accessories
only 12-month warranty;display only at 60 Hz;high surcharge for more storage;case with no IP rating;slow charging;few Bluetooth audio codecs
The iPad Air 13 has only been given a minor update in 2025: The Apple M3 provides even more power inside the already very powerful iPad Air and extends its runtimes slightly. Its accessories have also been slightly revised. Otherwise, much remains the...

Apple's new iPad Air packs some serious power, but little else is new. Is that bad, though?

Pricey peripherals
The iPad Air M3 features stellar M3-powered performance, a vivid 13.6-inch display and useful Apple Intelligence features in the same thin and light design we’ve come to expect. While this tablet has pricey peripherals and isn’t a major update to its...

Apple's latest iPad Air isn't a massive leap in performance compared to 2024's version with M2.
Nice, bright display ; New Magic Keyboard is a good upgrade from previous gen ; Good performance uptick over M1 iPad Air
Very minimal performance upgrade over 2024 iPad Air ; Still not as thin and light as iPad Pro, despite the name ; Prices for Magic Keyboard edge way too close to the cost of a full MacBook
iPad Air 2025 with M3 It's a refresh to Apple's solid mid-range tablet, but it lacks the versatility, power, or price of the company's other iPads.

Deliberate or not, Apple diluted the iPad Air into a worse iPad Pro rather than its own unique device.
Apple's M3 iPad Air features the same design as past generations of tablet, with a faster M3 chip and access to a new and improved Magic Keyboard with a function row.
