Apple iPad Air 13" M4 (2026) vs Apple iPad Pro M4 13-inch

What Reviewers Agree On

• 12GB RAM upgrade makes sustained multitasking genuinely smooth — a bigger deal than the chip improvement
• Best large-screen tablet at $799 — beats Android competition in software support and ecosystem
• M4 chip performance is excellent; matches iPad Pro M4 in day-to-day tasks
• Wi-Fi 7 makes cellular models less necessary for most users with Wi-Fi 7 routers

Deal Breakers

• No OLED — the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro both have OLED at $999/$1,299
• $799 base price is high for a non-Pro tablet

What Reviewers Agree On

• The tandem OLED display is the best screen ever put on a tablet — vibrant, bright, and with perfect blacks
