Apple iPad Air 11-inch (M4) Wi-Fi — 1TB, Starlight
Apple M4 · 12GB11" Liquid RetinaWi-Fi 7 · USB-CApple Pencil Pro
The Apple iPad Air 11-inch with the M4 chip, Wi-Fi model, 1TB in Starlight, is a thin 464 g tablet with a 10.86-inch Liquid Retina display, 12GB of unified memory and Apple Intelligence support, aimed at students, creatives and professionals who want near-laptop performance in a tablet. The 1TB capacity is the largest Apple offers for this model, leaving room for large 4K video projects, offline media and pro creative apps.
Apple quotes the M4 iPad Air as up to 2.3x faster than the iPad Air with M1, with hardware-accelerated ray tracing for 3D work. Wireless connectivity moves to Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 through Apple’s N1 wireless chip.
Before you order: This is the Wi-Fi model: it has no SIM or eSIM and no GPS. It also ships without a power adapter, so you need a USB-C charger. Older Apple Pencil (1st and 2nd generation) models are not supported.
What's in the Box
- iPad Air 11-inch (M4)
- USB-C Charge Cable (1 m)
- Power adapter not included — sold separately
What It Means in Practice
- Use it as a notebook replacement with the Magic Keyboard for iPad Air, or draw and annotate with Apple Pencil Pro, which supports hover.
- The USB-C port runs at up to 10Gb/s and drives one external display up to 6K at 60 Hz, so a USB-C dock or monitor turns it into a desk setup.
- Touch ID in the top button handles unlocking and Apple Pay; the 12MP landscape front camera with Center Stage keeps you framed on video calls.
- Battery life is rated up to 10 hours of web browsing or video on Wi-Fi.
What Will Not Work
- Mobile data on the road — choose the Wi-Fi + Cellular model, or tether to a phone.
- Built-in GPS navigation — the Wi-Fi model uses Wi-Fi and compass for location.
- Apple Pencil (1st generation) and Apple Pencil (2nd generation).
- Charging from the box alone — a USB-C power adapter is not included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which charger should I use?
Any USB-C power adapter works; Apple’s 20W USB-C adapter or a higher-wattage USB-C laptop charger is a sensible choice. None is included in the box.
Is this the 11-inch or 13-inch model?
This is the 11-inch iPad Air (10.86-inch display). The 13-inch M4 iPad Air is a separate model with a larger screen and different accessories.
Can I connect a monitor?
Yes. Through USB-C it drives one external display up to 6K at 60 Hz, directly or through a USB-C dock.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
The M4 iPad Air is the sweet spot for most buyers who want strong performance, Apple Pencil Pro and a light 11-inch body without paying for iPad Pro. Choose 1TB only if you really fill a tablet with video or large creative files; memory stays at 12GB across all capacities, so the extra money buys storage, not speed. Remember to budget for a USB-C charger, and if you plan to work at a desk, one of our
USB-C docking stations gives you monitor, keyboard and network through a single cable.
✓ Buy it if you want a light 11-inch iPad with M4 performance, 1TB storage and Apple Pencil Pro support.
✕ Skip it if you need mobile data or GPS (choose Wi-Fi + Cellular) or a 13-inch screen.
→ Also consider the iPad Air 13-inch (M4), or a different storage capacity of the same 11-inch model.
