iPad Air 11-inch (M4)
The M4 chip, 12GB of RAM across the board, and Wi-Fi 7 land on the mid-range iPad Air, but the 60Hz LCD screen, Touch ID, and 20W charging carry over unchanged, still the value pick below the Pro line.
Pros
- M4 chip is up to 30% faster than the outgoing M3, with a 16-core Neural Engine
- 12GB of unified memory across every storage tier, not just the top ones
- Supports Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro-like versatility
- Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 connectivity
- Compact 464g body at 6.1mm thick is easy to carry all day
Cons
- Still a 60Hz LCD panel — no ProMotion or OLED like the Pro line
- Touch ID instead of Face ID
- 20W charging is slow for a 2026 tablet
- Base 128GB storage fills up quickly with 4K video
