The Apple iPad Air 13 (2025) wins on display with its 13.0-inch Liquid Retina IPS LCD versus the iPad Pro 12.9’s 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR OLED, making it 0.1 inch larger with superior contrast and 120Hz refresh rate versus 60Hz. Artists and students should choose the iPad Air 13 for its Apple Pencil Pro support, M3 chip for smooth multitasking, and 256GB storage that handles note-taking and apps without lag, while the larger screen enhances media consumption.

In India at ₹89999 vs ₹129999, the iPad Air 13 wins on value because it includes stylus support and a faster processor at nearly ₹40,000 less.
