Build & service

Slim, sturdy aluminium; no IP rating

Each part is rated on one scale for every tablet, from reviewers' measurements (battery tests, brightness, benchmarks) where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports, including after-sales service. It rates the tablet itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • 15-20% faster than last year's Air
  • About 12 hours in the Wi-Fi battery test
  • Fast, stable Wi-Fi 7 and a quick USB-C port that drives displays
  • Solid build and Pencil support
  • Base model is good value for its speed
  • Very fast M4
  • Clearly better screen and speed than the basic iPad

Cons

  • 60 Hz screen that is hard to read outdoors
  • Thick bezels, design unchanged
  • Slows down under long heavy loads
  • No water or dust rating; storage upgrades cost a lot
  • Screen overdue for an upgrade, no 120 Hz
  • Touch ID only, no Face ID
  • Gets pricey once you add accessories
  • NotebookcheckMar 2026

    A needed rather than exciting update: noticeably faster, with long battery life, but the 60 Hz LCD and storage pricing hold it back.

  • EngadgetMar 2026

    Still the iPad most people should buy; the ageing LCD is the main thing holding it back.
