M3.Light it up.

With a powerful CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine, it’s up to 2x faster than iPad Air with M1 chip. The GPU architecture brings advanced graphics whether you’re working, streaming, creating, or gaming. All with amazing efficiency for all‑day battery life.

Built for Apple Intelligence.

Personal, private, powerful.

iPad Air is built for Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system that helps you express yourself and get things done effortlessly. With groundbreaking privacy protections, it gives you peace of mind that no one else can access your data — not even Apple. Apple Intelligence enables delightful ways to express yourself visually. Turn a rough sketch into a related image with Image Wand. And create new images based on descriptions, suggested concepts, and even a person from your Photos library with Image Playground. Writing Tools help you find just the right words and transform the way you communicate. Proofread your text, rewrite different versions to get the right tone, and summarize selected text with a tap.

iPadOS and apps.Get up to something wonderful.

iPadOS is designed to let you do all the things you love easily and powerfully from first touch to finishing touches. Use multiple apps at once, write in any text field, and navigate quickly and efficiently using just your finger, Apple Pencil, or the Magic Keyboard trackpad. Stage Manager lets you multitask effortlessly by allowing you to overlap and resize windows to look the way you want, so you can easily navigate between them. You can also group apps for specific tasks or projects and arrange them in your ideal layout. Browse, edit, and share your images and videos with Photos. Create dazzling presentations with Keynote and add style with Apple Pencil Pro, or magically solve complex equations in Math Notes.

Apple Pencil Pro.

Engineered for limitless creativity.

Apple Pencil sets the standard for how drawing, painting, handwriting, and note-taking should feel — intuitive, precise, and magical. All with pixel‑perfect precision, low latency, tilt sensitivity, and support for palm rejection. And Apple Pencil Pro adds even more capabilities to bring your ideas to life like never before.

Magic Keyboard.

The keys to your best work.

Magic Keyboard is the perfect companion for iPad Air. It delivers an amazing typing experience and a trackpad for precision tasks in a sleek, portable design. The keyboard includes a 14-key function row a USB‑C connector for pass‑through charging, and front and back protection for your iPad. The floating cantilever design smoothly adjusts to multiple viewing angles and a large glass trackpad expands how you can work with iPadOS.

Cameras.

Capture your imagination. And everything else.

Located on the long side of iPad Air, the 12 MP Center Stage camera creates a perfect video calling experience — especially when iPad Air is attached to Magic Keyboard. And with Center Stage, machine learning enables the camera to automatically adjust to keep you centered in the shot. The 12 MP Wide back camera captures vivid photos and amazing 4K videos. And the large, high-resolution Liquid Retina display lets you retouch images, edit your film, and easily share them — all on iPad Air. You can also use the back camera to scan documents and then fill them out with Apple Pencil. Machine learning enables features like Visual Look Up so you can identify objects in your photos and videos and learn more about them. 

Built-in mics and speakers.

Sounds perfect.

Record and play back rich audio with dual mics and landscape stereo speakers. Use the Notes app to record audio sessions like lectures or work meetings and generate live audio transcriptions that you can search through, add comments to, or copy and paste to other documents.
