The 11-inch iPad Air brings Apple's M3 chip to the mid-range tablet line, giving it a genuine step up in CPU and graphics performance over the entry-level iPad while staying lighter and more compact than the 13-inch Air or iPad Pro. Its 11-inch Liquid Retina display renders at 2360 x 1640 (264 ppi) resolution with True Tone, P3 wide colour, and an antireflective, fingerprint-resistant coating. This 128GB Wi-Fi model in Purple connects over Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. The M3 chip's 8-core CPU and up to 9-core GPU, backed by a 16-core Neural Engine, give it enough headroom for serious photo and video editing, multi-app workflows, and Apple Intelligence features. A 12MP Wide rear camera and 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage cover photography and video calling, Touch ID is built into the top button for secure unlocking and Apple Pay, and the USB-C port runs at USB 3 speeds for fast transfers to external storage. It supports Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C) plus the Magic Keyboard, making this iPad Air a genuine laptop-replacement option for study, business, or creative work.
