Less than a year after updating it with the M2 chip and introducing a larger-screen option, Apple gave the iPad Air another hardware refresh with a power bump. To boost its already formidable productivity chops, Apple also treated the iPad Air to a new, more affordably priced Magic Keyboard with a dedicated function row.

The iPad Air gets a minor spec bump for 2025, but that spec bump ensures the mid-tier iPad remains fast and responsive.

The brand-new iPad Air M3 is already on sale even though it’s only been out for a week. You can get the 11-inch model for $549 right now at Amazon, a savings of $50 off Apple’s MSRP.
