The 11 inch iPad Air M3 deal stands out for adding unlocked cellular at a strong price, making it especially appealing for people who want always on connectivity or the option to tether through a phone. The 256 gigabyte version is being weighed against pricier Wi Fi only alternatives, and the 128 gigabyte model is still seen as a solid value at $499. The main tradeoff is that 8 gigabytes of RAM may limit some future Apple Intelligence features, though most on device intelligence should still work. It is a practical pick if cellular convenience matters more than top end specs.
Common Questions (4)
It depends on whether cellular connectivity matters more than a newer chip and more RAM. The M3 cellular model is the better pick if you want always-on connectivity, while the M4 Wi‑Fi model is the better pick if you care more about processor headroom and Apple Intelligence support.
Yes. It is about $70 cheaper than an Apple-refurb 11-inch M3 256GB Wi‑Fi-only option at $669, and some buyers also mention trade-in or shop-exchange discounts that can bring the price down further.
It supports most on-device Apple Intelligence features, but not all. The 8GB RAM configuration may limit some of the more advanced iPadOS 27 on-device features, so it is best if you do not rely on Apple Intelligence heavily.
Yes. The cellular iPad can be tethered to a phone for connectivity, which gives you mobile internet without relying on Wi‑Fi alone.

So, iPad Air M3 is already obsoleted by virtue of plan obsolescence.
Is space gray the same price?
