The iPad Air only serves one purpose for Apple: upselling you a Pro

 

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.

Apple iPad Air (M3, 2025) review: All the power you need

 

The iPad Air (M3) looks the same as its predecessor but with a performance boost and middle of the pack pricing, is it the best iPad in Apple's tablet portfolio?

Apple 13-inch iPad Air (2025)

  (Rating Hidden)

The biggest iPad Air for 2025 sports an upgraded processor to go with some top-level specifications we've seen before. Releasing less than a year after its predecessor, can it really be any better? Find out in our full review of this popular tablet.

Apple iPad Air (M3, 2025) Review: A Powerful Tablet That Feels Stale

 

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.

Apple iPad Air 13 (2025) tablet review – Almost as good as an iPad Pro but a lot cheaper

 

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 iPad Air M3 (2025) vs iPad Air M2 (2024): Main differences

 

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

Expert review by : Ian Evenden (creativebloq.com)

I tested the new iPad Air M3 especially for creative pros – and this is a serious step up

 

Desktop class power comes to the finest tablet for creatives.

A high-performance tablet ; Lots of creative apps ; Keyboard and Pencil round it out

Gets expensive ; iPadOS still has its limitations ; Only one USB port

The iPad Air M3 is an iPad Pro in all but name, and is compatible with both the Apple Pencil Pro and its non-Pro sibling. It’s supremely versatile, able to act as a laptop replacement for when you need to do office work, and a sketching pad when you...

Apple iPad Air M3 review: The sweet spot just got even sweeter

 

The best Apple tablet for most people

Thin and light design ; Powerful M3 performance ; Vibrant display ; Good battery life ; Useful Apple Intelligence features

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 iPad Air With M3 Review: The Odd Man Out for iPads

 

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.
