The 2025 iPad Air delivers a meaningful performance boost with the M3 chip and a more laptop-like Magic Keyboard, but the $250 price increase and lack of Face ID make it a less compelling upgrade for existing owners. It remains a strong choice for new buyers seeking a lightweight, powerful tablet with a refined iPadOS experience.
