Specifications should be verified from official manufacturer sources. Details may vary by region or configuration.

Notes: Sold in Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + Cellular variants. The 13-inch model costs more than the 11-inch at every storage tier. Replaced earlier in 2025 by an M3 iPad Air refresh in some regions, so availability of the M2 version may vary.
