    My old IPad had the M2 chip. This one seems to be moving faster. Sharper images. I think it is the M3 chip and the 256GB. Very nice. Fits the case for the Ipad Air5. Would recommend it. Glad I was able to update to this model.

    Only gave 4 stars because It’s not a blue like in the picture and what I was expecting…more like a dull silver. To the point I took mine back to Best Buy because I thought they gave me the wrong iPad lol. The iPad itself - fantastic! I travel roughly 20+ weeks a year and wanted something to watch movies on the plane and at the hotel.

    Replaced my iPad Air 5th Gen with iPad Air M3. All of the things I’ve loved in my IPad M1 with the performance of the M3 chip. WOW the graphics performance is even better! Glad I made the upgrade!

    Didn’t realize this model doesn’t have Face ID. Other than that it’s good. The service at best but went well too.

    The iPad Air is a major upgrade from my previous iPad version 5. The glare resistant screen is extremely helpful. The fingerprint unlock gives added and easier to use security. The smooth operation characteristics and ease of conversion from my old iPad made this a very worthwhile purchase.
