The Apple iPad Air 13-inch M4 in Starlight is the most expansive, most powerful and most capable iPad Air ever made — combining the M4 chip with 12GB of unified memory, a stunning fully laminated 13-inch Liquid Retina display with 2732 × 2048 pixel resolution at 264 PPI and 600 nits of brightness, Apple Pencil Pro support and Apple Intelligence in a 6.1mm thin, 616-gram aluminium body built from 100% recycled aluminium. The warm, luminous Starlight finish gives the iPad Air 13-inch a refined, premium and timeless character — a silver-white tone with warm undertones that catches light naturally and pairs elegantly with the full range of Apple accessories and cases in both light and dark colourways. The 13-inch screen is Apple's largest and most immersive iPad Air display — providing a genuinely expansive canvas for creative work, note-taking, reading, film watching and multitasking that is significantly more productive and more enjoyable than any smaller iPad format. The fully laminated display with antireflective coating eliminates the air gap between the glass and the pixel layer — removing the reflective layer that non-laminated displays produce and making the iPad Air's image appear to float directly at the surface of the glass with the precision and immediacy of paper, significantly reducing glare and improving visibility in bright environments. True Tone automatically adjusts the white balance to match the ambient lighting of your environment, making the display comfortable to view for extended periods, and Wide Colour P3 coverage renders photographs, video and creative work with the full colour accuracy that professional content demands.

The Apple M4 chip with its 8-core CPU, 9-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, 120GB/s memory bandwidth and 12GB of unified memory is the same chip that powers the MacBook Pro — delivering desktop-class performance in a tablet that weighs 616 grams. At 12GB of unified memory the iPad Air M4 has 50% more RAM than the previous iPad Air M2, providing the headroom for more demanding apps, larger creative projects, more simultaneous open apps and the on-device Apple Intelligence models that run directly on the Neural Engine to provide writing tools, image generation, smart summaries, priority notifications and the most personal and capable version of Siri yet — all without requiring internet connectivity for the on-device processing tasks. Hardware-accelerated ray tracing brings the same real-time lighting and shadow rendering that powers console gaming to the iPad Air M4 — making the 13-inch display and M4 GPU the most capable gaming platform in any iPad Air to date. The Media Engine with ProRes encode and decode, AV1 decode and hardware-accelerated H.264 and HEVC handles professional video formats with the efficiency that keeps the battery impact of intensive video work at a minimum.

Apple Pencil Pro compatibility unlocks the full creative potential of the 13-inch canvas — with pixel-perfect hover detection that shows the tip of the pencil on screen before contact for more precise mark placement, the squeeze gesture for tool switching without touching the screen, the rotation sensor for calligraphy and brush work, Scribble handwriting-to-text conversion in every text field and haptic feedback confirmation of actions directly in the pencil. Apple Pencil (USB-C) is also compatible for everyday handwriting, annotation and sketching. The 12MP rear camera with f/1.8 aperture, autofocus with Focus Pixels, Smart HDR 4, Wide Colour P3 capture and sapphire crystal lens cover shoots 4K video at up to 60fps for document scanning, content creation and video recording. The landscape 12MP Center Stage front camera keeps you centred in the frame during FaceTime and video calls automatically as you move, and Spatial Audio creates an immersive sound environment for calls and media. Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) with 2×2 MIMO provides the fastest wireless connectivity available on any iPad Air, Bluetooth 6 handles headphone and accessory connection and USB-C with USB 3 at up to 10Gb/s drives an external display at up to 6K resolution at 60Hz for a full dual-display workflow. The 36.59Wh battery lasts up to 10 hours on a single charge, and the included 20W USB-C Power Adapter and 1-metre USB-C cable handle charging.
