iPad Air M4: laptop-grade power in a familiar slim tablet

The iPad Air M4 uses an 8-core CPU/9-core GPU M4 chip with 12GB RAM and up to 1TB storage, plus Wi‑Fi 7 and 5G, delivering laptop-like performance in 11-inch or 13-inch bodies. Priced from £599, it pairs long battery life, a sharp display, and expansive app support with iPadOS 26.3’s improved multitasking, making it the best premium tablet for most Apple buyers. Downsides include its high price, lack of Face ID and multi-user support, and a base storage of 128GB.

Apple's M4 iPad Air: More Power, Same Look

Apple's M4 iPad Air sticks to the familiar design but adds a notable under-the-hood upgrade: the M4 chip, 12GB of unified memory (up from 8GB), and a modest boost in CPU (about 20–30%) and GPU (around 15%) performance. For everyday use it won't feel dramatically different, but creators using heavy apps like Pixelmator Pro or Final Cut Pro will benefit from faster handling of large files, making the iPad Air feel noticeably snappier even though the hardware look remains the same.

Air's M4 Falls Short of iPad Pro's M4 in Core Count and GPU

Air's M4 Falls Short of iPad Pro's M4 in Core Count and GPU

Apple's iPad Air uses an M4 chip that is not the same as the iPad Pro's M4, with eight CPU cores (three performance, five efficiency) and nine GPU cores — fewer than the Pro's variants that use nine or ten CPU cores and ten GPU cores depending on storage. The Air also has 12GB unified memory, placing it between Pro RAM tiers. In short, the Air's M4 is a downgraded variant produced by chip binning, so it won't match Pro (or M5) speeds in multi-core and Metal tasks, though single-core performance should be similar.

Apple’s iPad Air M4 to Bring Speed Boosts Without a Design Overhaul

Apple is expected to refresh the iPad Air with an M4 chip while keeping the current design and 11-inch/13-inch options. The iPad Air will continue to use LED displays, USB-C, and a Touch ID top button, with ProMotion and OLED reserved for the iPad Pro. The M4 brings up to 10 CPU cores (vs 8), faster Neural Engine, higher memory bandwidth, and roughly 30% CPU and 21% GPU speed gains. RAM increases aren’t confirmed. The new model is also anticipated to adopt Apple’s N1 networking chip for Wi‑Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, and a C1X modem for cellular, with pricing staying around $599/$799. Launch could come ahead of Apple’s March 4 “Experience” event, potentially as soon as next week.
