Ipad Air 11 (2024) vs Ipad Air 11 (2025)

The Apple iPad Air 11 (2025) wins on display due to its 11.0-inch Liquid Retina IPS LCD with 500 nits brightness versus the 2024 model’s same size but lower brightness, though neither has OLED or 120Hz — the screen size is identical at 11.0 inches (0.0 inch delta). The 2024 model with 256GB storage and M2 chip is best for artists using Apple Pencil Pro, students needing space for apps and files, and professionals relying on the full accessory ecosystem including Magic Keyboard. The 2025 model with M3 chip and lower price suits users prioritizing faster performance for multitasking or media streaming who don’t need extra storage and avoid accessory add-ons. In UAE at AED 2450 vs AED 2250, the 2025 model is better because M3 delivers 20% faster CPU performance for the same screen. In India at ₹67999 vs ₹59999, the 2025 model wins on value because the ₹8000 savings offsets the 128GB storage limit for users who stream or use cloud storage.
