Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this as a gift for someone, but I went back and forth deciding between the standard 10.2" iPad, iPad Mini 5, or this iPad Air 3. This thing is lightweight despite the larger size and boasts a larger, more usable, higher quality laminated screen. On top of that, you get mostly modern internal specs with that A12 processor (same as that in the XS/XR family of iPhones). This thing can be pricey for what it is, so definitely get it at a discount if possible.

Full disclosure...I am an apple user across the board (iPad, MacBook, iPhone, and iPod). I was actually looking for a birthday gift for my fiancé and wanted to get him a tablet as he was using my old 2013 iPad. He clearly stated he didn’t want an iPad as he is not an apple user but once I saw the new iPad I just had to upgrade my iPad Air 2 after seeing I could use the Apple Pencil. So I traded in my air 2 at Best Buy and got the new one. I absolutely love it. I love the ability to use the pencil for note taking since I take lots of notes and have lots of paper laying around. This new iPad is super fast and I love some of the new features that my old air didn’t have. All in all I wasn’t shopping for myself but I am sure glad I came across this upgrade. An iPad is a must have for convenience. I got the WiFi only version because I use WiFi at work and home so no need for an extra monthly cost plus my Verizon plan has hotspot if I ever need to hook up to the internet really quick. I think this is a good mid range option as the pro is just not affordable and I feel like I might as well buy a MacBook for that price. You won’t regret this purchase,

I was torn between buying this versus the 12.9 pro. I wanted a larger viewing screen than the older iPad I had. Once I realized that this newer version was larger than the old, my decision was made. Glad I went this route over the 12.9 pro because a lot of the reviews on them stated how bulky they were. The size of this is perfect for every day use. The images are sharper and it's much faster than my older one. And obviously the price difference is rather material as well. Very satisfied.

This is a great product ... visually appealing ... lightweight ... fast ... easy to use ... I love it!

My computer hard drive crashed after only 2 years. Instead of a repair I decided to try my first Apple product. I love my iPad! I love the portability of it, the fast processing, ease of use plus the size of my 10.5 inch screen. As an “old dog” that has always worked on computers, I just had to learn a few “new tricks”! The on-screen tips have helped plus I have 2 friends that have Apple products and are willing to help. Finally the battery lasts all day + some.

I have the original iPad Air with 16gb of storage. With that small storage and the older processor, I decided it was time to upgrade to this third generation of iPad Air. It is quite the upgrade and I’m happy to have made it. I would recommend this product for anyone who is looking for a tablet that can do a lot, but not quite everything the iPad Pro does, at a more fair price. Especially if you are already an Apple user with your phone.

This is my fourth iPad since the first version came out and its the best one so far! I've been using an iPad Air 2 for the past few years and I've have only good things to say about it. When the iPad Pro models came out, I really liked the idea of the Apple Pencil but it was hard to justify the extra cost. Now that Apple has made a regular model with the power of the Pro and the ability to use the Pencil, I had to have it. I'm glad I did!

Purchased for college kid Speed is fast, lightweight, and easy to use

I am very happy with this ipad. I prior was using ipad air2. iPad Air 2019 is about the same thickness as Air2, but the display is a bit larger with 10.5" screen. I like that it uses the apple pencil (ver 1). It is missing the ProMotion, which automatically adjust the refresh rate,but I really don't notice. The starting price of $499 is a good value, getting the basics without spending pro prices.

This is my first experience with an IPad & quite frankly it does everything I need it to do & a great price point. Now I can sit & watch TV & still be doing things without a bulky laptop on my lap - even room for the dog - lol. Beautiful display, fast & responsive. I did also get the 1st gen. Apple pencil to use with it in the Procreate app. Love it all!!

I absolutely love my new iPad. Very clear, light, and easy to use. I also bought a stand to be able to view it clearly and not have to lean it against items. It is so clear. I can view all my pictures and videos and enjoy them. My iPhone is too small to enjoy them the way I do on my new iPad. You will not regret purchasing this iPad. It’s the best. I love love love love it.

I bought the iPad because I was tired of using my iPhone for everything. Lets face it, nowadays the services that everyone uses have better apps than websites because everything has gone mobile. A PC just makes it difficult to get full use of services (looking at you Comcast/Xfinity). The iPad makes a great compromise between getting more screen space on a PC, but gives you most of the functionality of an iPhone. The other great thing, if you have an iPhone, the two work together fairly seamless. As long as a my iPhone is close, I can make phone calls, send and receive text messages so, iPad becomes a giant iPhone. The iPad is lightweight, so throwing it in my backpack every day to take work or trip is not a big deal. I have the keyboard with it, so using it to bang out an occasional email or review is easy peasy. If you’re tired of staring at the small screen of your iPhone, got get one. It’s a game changer.

I used to have a regular iPad 6th generation before buying this one. This Air 3 from the beginning of use clearly shows the difference in graphics. It is so vivid in colors with a bigger screen. When I bought this, it was on sale at another vendor and Best Buy price-matched it as usual. I love this iPad Air 3 and recommend to everyone.

Great overall tablet. For my use case, the ipad pro versions were just out of my price range. Using for work email, research and notes this ipad air is excellent. Also purchased the apple keyboard case and it is a perfect pairing for my needs. Didnt expect much different between entry level ipad and the ipad air. But this is a much faster tablet for my uses.

Great screen color. Easy to set up. Great speed. Light. Nice size screen.

This iPad was purchased for my wife to use. Now her needs are not high, so this is a perfect mid budget tablet for her. She definitely loves it and is very happy to finally be in the Apple universe. The screen is nice, and it is very receptive. I would highly recommend this iPad to anyone who wants to get into iPads.

I needed a travel device and settled on the new IPad Air. My main laptop is the Surface Book - which I love. But this device is super light and works. The only thing about this unit is the battery. I feel I am only getting about 6 hours on it. I do keep the screen brighter, but thought that it would go longer. None the less, this pairs well with my Microsoft Surface and my IPhone XS Max. All good. I do have all of the Office items on here, and found that I still have plenty of room for pretty much anything I want (my photos and such are in the cloud). So, no need for anything over the 64GB

I had originally got this iPad to make notes for college classes. I use it daily and more than my laptop on most assignments. Being a very busy person, it is easy to slide into work bag and have access to school work and holds long charge. I am glad I decided to purchase this product.

Upgraded from Ipad Air 2, which was solid. Was on sale, which made it an excellent value. Screen is bright, speedy processor, has pencil and smart keyboard support (haven't used either yet), solid battery life and versatile. Only thing missing is lack of mouse support, which would make it near perfect as a laptop replacement.

I purchased this for my high-school student and she has loved it. After purchasing a keyboard and the Apple Pencil, she can do just about everything and more that she could on her laptop. The battery life is top notch, and she finds the weight very light for taking it on the go in her backpack.
