Apple iPad Air 13" M2 256GB Wi-Fi

For years the only way to get a 13-inch iPad was to buy the Pro. The M2 Air ended that. You get the large canvas — which is the thing people actually want a big iPad for — without paying for an OLED panel you may never push.

What you get

• 13-inch Liquid Retina display, 600 nits, laminated with an anti-reflective coating
• Apple M2 chip with 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU
• 256GB storage, Wi-Fi 6E
• 12MP landscape front camera — it sits on the long edge, so you finally look centred on a video call
• Touch ID in the top button, USB-C, stereo speakers with landscape sound

Where it fits

This is the iPad for students carrying a term of PDFs, for anyone running split-screen notes beside a lecture or a call, and for artists who want a working surface rather than a postcard. M2 handles Procreate at large canvas sizes, LumaFusion edits and Affinity work without stuttering — the ceiling is well above what most people bring to a tablet.

The honest comparison

Against the 13-inch iPad Pro you give up the OLED brightness, ProMotion's 120Hz smoothness, Face ID and Thunderbolt. You keep the same screen size and Apple Pencil Pro support, and you save a substantial amount. For reading, note-taking, drawing and media, the Air is the better value; for colour-critical or high-refresh work, it is not.
