Apple iPad Air M4 13" Wi-Fi + Cellular 256GB Starlight
The Apple iPad Air M4 combines a large 13-inch Liquid Retina display with the Apple M4 chip, 12GB unified memory and 256GB storage. The exact MH9K4QA/A configuration is the Wi-Fi + Cellular A3462 model in Starlight. It supports both Wi-Fi 7 and 5G cellular connectivity for working, studying, streaming, creating and staying connected while mobile.
Liquid Retina Display
The 13-inch Liquid Retina display uses LED-backlit IPS technology with a 2732 × 2048 resolution at 264 ppi. It supports P3 wide colour, True Tone, 600-nit brightness, full lamination and an anti-reflective coating. Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C) are supported, including Apple Pencil hover.
Apple M4 Performance
The Apple M4 chip features an 8-core CPU with 3 performance cores and 5 efficiency cores, a 9-core GPU with hardware-accelerated ray tracing and a 16-core Neural Engine. The tablet includes 12GB unified memory and 120GB/s memory bandwidth.
256GB Storage
The built-in 256GB storage provides space for applications, documents, photos, videos and creative projects. The iPad Air does not have a microSD card slot, so storage cannot be expanded with a memory card.
Wi-Fi 7 and 5G Cellular
The Wi-Fi + Cellular model supports Wi-Fi 7 with 2×2 MIMO and Bluetooth 6, together with Apple's C1X cellular modem. It supports 5G sub-6GHz and Gigabit LTE. Cellular connectivity uses eSIM rather than a physical SIM card.
GPS and Location
Unlike the Wi-Fi-only version, the Wi-Fi + Cellular model includes GPS/GNSS as well as digital compass, Wi-Fi, iBeacon and mobile-data location capabilities.
Cameras
The 12MP Wide rear camera features an ƒ/1.8 aperture, autofocus with Focus Pixels, Smart HDR 4, up to 5x digital zoom and panorama up to 63MP. It supports 4K video recording at up to 60fps. The 12MP landscape Center Stage front camera supports 1080p HD video and Center Stage.
Audio and USB-C
Landscape stereo speakers and dual microphones provide audio for entertainment, calls and recording. The USB-C port supports charging, DisplayPort and USB 3 data transfer up to 10Gb/s. The iPad supports one external display up to 6K at 60Hz.
Battery
The built-in 36.59Wh lithium-polymer battery provides up to 10 hours of web browsing or video playback over Wi-Fi and up to 9 hours of web surfing over a mobile data network under Apple's testing conditions. Actual battery life varies according to usage and settings.
