Design
The Apple iPad Air (2025) is a powerful, stylish iPad with a fast processor that lets me use games and Photoshop smoothly. It doesn't come with a charger, Apple Pencil, or Magic Keyboard, so if I want to get the most out of it, I'll have to buy them separately.
Lightweight iPad with a stylish design This model looks the same as its predecessor. I unlock it with Touch ID using the side button. It also has the same stylish, straight edges and a bright screen. Because this 11-inch iPad Air is compact and light, I can easily take it with me on vacation or on the train. I like that because I enjoy watching movies and TV shows on a larger screen than my smartphone. The iPad Air doesn't come with a charger, so I ordered a separate fast charger. The charging cable is included.
High-quality movies and TV shows
When I watch a movie on Netflix, I notice that the colors are vivid on the screen. Thanks to the sharp image, I can see all the details. If you use it a lot for creative projects, like designing, I'd go for the larger 13-inch model. You hold the iPad Air with both hands, so I do recommend a case with a flap. This keeps your hands free while watching a video and protects it from scratches.
Lack-Free Apps I download various apps and games from the App Store. I play games smoothly and notice that they don't lag. I also surf the internet, check social media, take notes, and watch TV shows. Even with a lot of apps open, I can switch between these apps quickly. The M3 chip also shows its power when I edit my photos in Lightroom. This demanding program is no problem for the processor at all.

I mainly use the iPad for email, reading newspapers, selecting TV programs, and similar tasks. After eight years of faithful service, my previous iPad Pro was ready for a new life as a gaming iPad for my grandchildren. After much deliberation, I bought a 13-inch iPad. It was too big for the activities I did. Its size also made it a bit unwieldy. It was essentially a laptop without a keyboard. Even though it was a fantastic device, I returned it and bought the iPad Air M3 with 256GB. What a great iPad! It's clearly much faster than my old iPad Pro. The screen is very good and bright, and it's still handy. I'll enjoy this iPad for a long time to come. Unfortunately, my Mac mini is gathering dust now, but so be it. Coolblue's service is fantastic, as I've come to expect. No problem at all exchanging the 13-inch iPad for an 11-inch iPad. No hassles or anything like that. Everything is top-notch, and I'm a very satisfied customer!

This latest version of the iPad air is much faster than our previous iPad, I suspect that this also ensures that the battery lasts less long as soon as you open an app that intensively uses the processor. A charging block is no longer included, and Face-ID is apparently not available on iPads, which is a pity.
