Overview

Put dependable connectivity in every field kit. The iPad Air 13-inch (M4) pairs the Apple M4 chip with 256GB of storage and built-in 5G over eSIM, so email, video calls, and cloud apps keep working at job sites, client offices, and on the road. Wi-Fi 6E, Touch ID, USB-C charging, and support for Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C), and the Magic Keyboard for iPad Air make this Purple unit a practical daily driver for hybrid workers.

  • Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3
  • 12MP wide rear camera; 12MP landscape front camera with Center Stage
  • Touch ID top-button biometric security

The iPad Air 13-inch (M4) Wi-Fi + Cellular in Purple is a laptop-class canvas for split-screen work without iPad Pro pricing. The Apple M4 chip drives fast app launches, smooth multitasking, and on-device Apple Intelligence features, backed by 8 GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. 256GB doubles the base capacity, adding headroom for offline file caches, large app libraries, and downloaded video for travel.

Connectivity is the reason to choose this configuration. Sub-6 GHz 5G runs over eSIM — US models have no physical SIM tray — so IT can provision lines from AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon remotely and swap carriers without touching hardware. On local networks, Wi-Fi 6E reaches the uncongested 6 GHz band and Bluetooth 5.3 handles headsets, scanners, and accessories. The 13-inch Liquid Retina display (2732 x 2048, 600 nits) stays readable indoors, while the 12MP wide rear camera scans documents and captures site photos, and the 12MP landscape front camera with Center Stage keeps you framed on video calls.

For deployment at scale, the tablet enrolls through Apple Business Manager for zero-touch MDM setup, and Touch ID secures sign-ins without slowing users down. Battery life is rated up to 10 hours of Wi-Fi use or 9 hours on cellular, and USB-C charging works with the included 20W adapter or existing laptop chargers. It supports Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C), and the Magic Keyboard for iPad Air for note-taking, markup, and longer typing sessions. Backed by Apple’s one-year limited warranty, with AppleCare+ available for extended coverage.

Ideal for

  • Executive and sales mobility — email, CRM, quotes, and presentations over 5G between offices and client sites
  • Field service and inspections — photo capture, forms, and markup where there is no Wi-Fi
  • Fleet deployments — zero-touch MDM enrollment for dozens or hundreds of connected tablets
  • Travel-heavy roles — offline file caches and downloaded media between flights
