iPad Air M3

I have had mine 1.5 years, just dropped it on a tile floor. [...]

[...] I just bought the M3 iPad Air on sale for $499.00 (replacing a VERY old iPad Air 2 that had been unusable for some time), and I think I'll be happy with it for quite some time. It's probably the 'best bang for the buck' at the price, especially if you can get one on sale. [...]

[...] I'm a university student and study dentistry, and I was thinking that the iPad Air M3 11" is a good quality-price deal. [...] Dentistry will probably require heavy applications in upcoming years. [...] I would also be getting the Apple Pencil Pro and a magic keyboard. [...]

I think I’ll stick with my IPad Pro A12X. Still works, does what I need it to and don’t have to re-buy the pencil and keyboard case. And iPad OS26 will work on it and has a 120hz screen refresh rate.

I am using the iPad Air Gen 5 (256GB, WiFi and Cellular) for daily work. [...] Projection of the iPad on screen can last for several hours as lessons are back to back. [...] It is charged almost every day because of heavy usage. I wonder if I need to upgrade to the latest M3 iPad Air as my Apple Care plus warranty has ended.

I updated I iPad to iOS 26 and killed my iPad gen 4 🥲. For what Apple is charging me i can go buy a new one smh.

[...] The Pencil Pro comes free with the student discount at Apple. [...] My phone is an Apple PC and I want to use it without any problems for at least 4-5 years. [...] People usually compare the S10 Ultra with the Pro, but the iPad Pro prices are skyrocketing. [...]

I have an M3 iPad Air. I only upgraded after my M1 iPad Air 4th generation (IIRC) stopped turning off and it was way too expensive to get a replacement board. [...] It might be attached to a keyboard, on a stand, on your lap or on your chest (when lying down). [...] I haven't bought a keyboard or anything. [...] But I do love my iPad Air.

I use mine for note taking and studying in general. Battery life is really good, multi tasking is flawless. The only things I don’t like is the Touch ID rather than Face ID, but its not the end of the world, 60hz display can feel laggy sometimes if your screen is full of fingerprints, Apple Pencil USB version runs out of battery faster than I expected, and no support for MacOS even thought it has an M3 chip. [...]

Writing from ipad air m3, magic keyboard, my journey is actually quite interesting, so I had an ipad a while ago, an ipad 2, so I didn’t know how newer ipads work, got one in may, the same ipad air m3, but returned it because I needed an actual laptop for work and university at the time, but almost instantly regreted it, a week ago, I decided to buy it again under a promotion that decreased the keyboard’s price by a hundrid dollars, and it was a really good deal because I also had an older iphone to trade in, so got it again, I have to say, I’m more satisfied with it the second time around than the first, I guess it’s because I had bigger expectations coming in the first time but I knew what I was getting into the second time around, the proes are to overkill for me because they cost literally double with a keyboard, and I didn’t know if I wanted to pay that much for an ipad, so the air is a sweet spot, and I also prefer touch ID, I mostly use the ipad lying down so I’m not sure how would face ID work if it was hanging on the keyboard and not having direct line of sight to my face, if there’s anything I’m somewhat complaining about is the speaker quality, totally disappointing compared to the quality you’d find on a macbook air.

I just got the IPad Air M3 2025 and when I scroll any list it has a feature I hate; it drops some titles from the upper part, they fall where they are supposed to be but I never had that with my ipad pro which recently died after 8 years of outstanding service to me. [...]

How the hell is this easier to draw on than my 13-inch iPad Air M3?! [...] Intuos Pro Wacom Tablet I've had for 10 years Oh shit son, that's almost 1:1 the same size drawing area! [...]

it’s been 6months.. and my battery health is 97% i don’t have any games just school works not to heavy why is that?

Yeah, I’m not a dedicated iPhone user and my personal phones are androids so my iOS experience has been iPod Touch 2G - employer owned iPhone 8 - employer owned iPhone XR - iPad Air M3. Each of those big gaps have seen the UI shift and the keyboard decline.

I have the opposite experience, unfortunately. It's not a perfect comparison, but my base M1 MacBook Pro (8GB RAM) gets consistently solid performance out of Java edition, but my M3 iPad Air (also 8GB RAM, but better chip) drops frames constantly in Bedrock.

Love my iPad Pro 11 4m, I use it while traveling for work! I had 12.9 pro a big for all the travel I do, the 11 is great to throw into my sling and working in airports, airplanes, hotels! Great for projecting onto screens for presentations!

I got mine in blue with a $150 discount for a 256GB version and the main reason i got it was for stage manager and the Better M3 Chip and the bigger screen (i came from a 8th gen iPad) and the overall experience feels soo good and better 😊❤

i just got my ipad air m3 and i love it 😭 i was between the mini and 11” air & the 11” is just the perfect spot for me not being too small or big, and i like the air has the pencil pro support

[...] Yes 120hz would be great. I would also like to see backlit keyboard, very important at night.

Air is a great all rounder has the power cheaper than the pro it’s perfect for me yes I might never use it to its fullest capabilities but I wouldn’t the pro and the base model yes it does every day tasks but the m3 chip is worth the extra 200

I have tried to get it to work on my iPad Air M3 and oh my i don’t know what is the issue because I haven’t been able to even start it without a crash

I use my iPad Air M3 more than I use my MacBook M4.The only thing I use my MacBook for is Microsoft Word. Other than that it’s too complicated to use.

I use my M3 iPad Air for photo and video editing it is for me just better for those aspects. Yes the MBA is a better computer for most but for me the iPad Air is the best computer that gets my work done.

in the end, it will all comes down to how much money you want to spend.. but i can guarantee that all ipads are worth it... [...]

I just got it today after being disuaded from buying the pro.

[...] 120z screen could only under 30fps or even lower. M3 would be a great upgrade for me and since I left college I don’t use stylus as often as I used to be. Maybe I will get the stylus next year if I miss it.

[...] I really only use my iPad for social media and occasionally to edit photos on LR. I think with the huge jump from what I had to the 13 air and they were currently on sale for &750 for the 256gb model totally worth it.

Watching from my iPad Air M3 which serves as my supplement device for my Mac when travelling. I’m a VA & all of my tools are web based and using the Apple Pencil USB-C for precision clicking when working on Sheets. I went with the Air M3 for multitasking power compared to A16.

After upgrading both my phone (iPhone 15 Pro) and tablet (iPad Air M3) on release day there was barely any visible indication that anything had changed at all... Bold New OS look indeed!

The Apple iPad Air (M3) is back at its lowest price ever: Deal of the Day While I mostly use my iPad for relaxing and watching shows and videos on the couch, others use it as a total …

I got the iPad Air M3! The model that released earlier this year. I went with the 13" screen to make drawing on procreate more comfortable.

I got a new IPad Air M3 last weekend and this is the first art piece I’ve done on it digitalart OC HazbinHotelOC

I have the M3 iPad Air… I won’t have to replace it for at least 4 years because it’s stupidly powerful but both of its hands are tied because of iPad OS. Apple needs to get serious and make a version of MacOS for the iPad otherwise these upgrades are meaningless for most users.

sometimes when i have my ipad on an angle in wich the faceid sensor cannot see me i'd wish it had touchid or both

I bought an iPad Air M3 for the family. You can see Apple cut things to keep the price in check. [...] The 1 thing I do miss from the iPad Pro is the 120fps ProMotion screen. [...]

My iPad Air M3 & my old iPad Air 4. (Left to right) Both are blue, the Air 4 has a pink case because it’s being given to a family member. 💙💙💙
