      I recently upgraded to the 2025 iPad Air M3 (11”, 128GB), and it has exceeded my expectations. The M3 chip makes everything incredibly smooth—whether I’m running multiple apps for my small business, sketching ideas for custom cakes, or streaming content.

      The 11-inch Liquid Retina display is bright, crisp, and perfect for designing, editing, or just browsing. I also love how lightweight it is, making it easy to carry around. The battery life is solid, lasting me through a full workday without issues.

      If you’re looking for pro-level performance at a lower price, this iPad Air is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend for entrepreneurs, creatives, or anyone who wants a powerful tablet without the Pro price tag!

      Great product, discounted compared to apple's retail so win-win. Only disappointing thing is I couldn't have it delivered to Whole Foods when I included applecare. The algorithm doesn't allow it because applecare is considered something sold by a different vendor than Amazon. Customer support frustratingly took half an hour of my time and couldn't figure out a workaround so I had to order it without applecare and purchase that after the fact. Annoying, but the security of having it delivered somewhere that I knew it wouldn't be stolen from my porch or having to wait around all day to give a Code was worth it. Get it together, Amazon!

      I love this iPad. I have an iPad 9, 64 GB and iPad 10 256GB. This iPad Air with the M3 chip is very smooth to operate and has a very clear and sharp image. I recommend this to anyone that wants to upgrade. However, it does function in a very similar fashion the the iPad 10 256 GB. I would recommend this to a first time purchaser or if you want to upgrade. I was not happy with the delivery person. He tossed it on my porch. This is why I took off one star. I saw this on my Ring camera. I am very unhappy that he tossed a $550.00 electronic device. I contacted Amazon. They assured me that they would make good on the iPad if I was not satisfied for any reason. I would not have expected a delivery person to toss anything.

      This is the smaller iPad Air. I was tired of carrying around the heavier 12.9” 2015 iPad Pro and this iPad with the 11” screen is very clear and much lighter. I also really like the speed of the m3 chip and the AI writing tools that come with it. I use this daily for reading books,email, typing/writing and many more daily activities. I was concerned that the screen was too small but it is so clear and bright I am amazed and the size is perfect for my needs. The battery life is great and even using it on a brighter setting it lasts more than a day.
