Customer Ratings & Reviews

Picked this up as an upgrade from an M1-powered iPad Pro (that I have to a family member), and it’s in a home that also has an M2 MadBook Air. My experience contrasts my iPad Pro M1 ownership and our MacBook. Honestly, the “cuts” from a Pro to an Air are hard for a regular user to notice. If you want the power of a Pro without the steep cost, an Air is fantastic. M-series Apple devices are strong enough for anything you want to throw at them. In real-world use, this iPad is nearly as strong as the MacBook in similar tasks. You lose MacOS and the obvious laptop-specific perks, but you gain a super-capable tablet that you can pair with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse if you really needed to do laptop-type work. Overall very happy - they’re still pricey, but they might be the best bang-for-the-buck compared to Pro and vanilla iPads. Worth picking up on sale.

Working fine and really liked it the color and it operates very smooth

The battery lasts long even after playing heavy video games; performance is good, and it does not lag when overused. Sound quality is fair. The camera quality is alright.

Exceptional low weight for the performance. 11 inch screen also perfect for traveling or normal use at home.

Great device, super fast with the M2 chip. Seamless integration with the apple ecosystem. Highly recommended for users who need more performance than the iPad 10th gen.

Bought this as a gift for my wife. She loves it. Plenty of speed and space.

Had to wait for inventory to become available to ship. Finally got it 10 days ago. I wish I would have waited another week before purchasing it because then Apply announced the 11Gen 128GB which is the right memory size I want. At the time of purchase 10Gen 256GB was only $70 cheaper than the Air6. Since Air6 is 2+ years newer, with a more powerful chip, I decided to get the Air instead, despite I dont use magic keyboard / pencil so is like paying for extra features that I dont need. However at only $70 higher Air6 is a better value. The Air6 of course is good but it already has a few glitches that surprise me. I already experienced a screen freeze when trying to add another email to the iCloud account. The pop up just froze, would not let me add or cancel. I had to use the power button to get out then returned to set up, and was relieve to see the pop up disappeared. In fact before submitting this review I had yet another screen freeze in the Sign In and Security category of the Setting. It once again froze in that area, would not allow navigating to any category in the setting! Had to do a forced reboot by pressing power button and volume bottom together to induce the power off function. Then reboot the device to get out of the locked up jail! Later I googled this issue, apparently it is a common issue on the Air because google Germini gave me the exact steps to get out of the jam. Frankly I am rather disappointed by this glitch that apparently Apple is aware of it but never fixes it. So the users have to resort to forced reboot to get out of the jam. The iPad 10 Gen have not had such issue for its first 2 years of life, while this Air 6 is a brand new buy, less than 12 months old from its initial launch. Very disappointed. Also it seems to often return to home screen by no apparent reasons despite I am actively using it, as in viewing a website. I dont know what causes such. On top of that the screen gets DIRTY Very Very easily, much more so than my old iPad. I am not sure it is because the Air has no screen protector this moment because my Amazon order just arrived yesterday while the old iPad has a screen protector. It is rather annoying to have to clean the screen very often, else you can see the traces of dirty mark on the white background of a webpage. Overall I feel the Air6 is a good product but it is not great, for a light user. It should be great for those heavily into using the pencil / magic keyboard. However, for a light user the new 11 Gen 128GB is a Much Better Value for the money at $349 vs the Air6 at $499 or the Air7 at $599. I just hope this Air6 battery would last for 4 years like my prev iPads did until the batteries dying (easily heat up, causing the chip slows down or stops functioning completely until the iPad cools down.) That said, I would still recommend this to a friend but I strongly feel for users who dont need the magic keyboard / pencil, then the current 11 Gen 128GB at $349 is a much better value.

Awesome speed and lightweight! My daughter uses it for college work has all the features needed!

If you need a portable yet powerful device for media consumption, note-taking, or light productivity, an iPad is a fantastic purchase. However, for those needing full-fledged professional applications, a Mac or PC might still be necessary. Would I recommend buying one? Absolutely—just choose the right model based on your needs and budget.

Easy to set up, very light and slim design. The Best Buy worker was very knowledgeable and helpful in helping us decide whether we should get this iPad or wait for the next generation. This iPad was a great option for our streaming and word document generation needs and we were able to get it on sale

The 11 inch iPad Air was my third iPad. Not surprisingly, it is the best. Screen is crisp & clear. Fast connections and loading content. Very pleased with battery life.

Love everything about this device. Display, speeds, light weight. We love love love it.

Looks and feels just like the 5th gen. Only difference is I wanted the higher storage. iOS 18.2 won’t download due to lack of storage. Didn’t like the fact that Apple Pencil does t work across generations of the same product line. Apple’s playing a greedy game. I however did love the fact that I got a really good deal at $469 through Best Buy and a $310 trade in on my previous iPad.

Just snagged an iPad Air M2 (open box!) and I'm blown away. The performance is lightning-fast, handling multitasking with ease. The M2 chip truly shines. Plus, going the open box route saved me a significant amount, making it an incredible value. If you're looking for a powerful and versatile tablet, this is it!

I enjoy my new iPad Air. Very clear and precise. Easy to navigate. I've had other iPads, in my opinion this is the best one so far. That I've experienced.. I Love It .

Great definition and optics. Good size and speed. Lighter than previous iPad.

great upgraded ipad - big improvement over ipad 10. nice

Light, very fast tablet. Great for travel and photo editing.

I like the screen size, stage manager, and it runs big games smoothly

Perfect size for traveling! Very clear and fast. Good battery life.
