iPad Air 13″ refurbished

The main difference lies in the processor. The model released in 2024 uses the M2 chip, which already offers excellent performance. The 2025 model (often referred to as "Late 2025" or 7th Gen) was upgraded to the M3 chip. The M3 is manufactured using the more efficient 3-nanometer process and offers improvements over the M2, particularly in graphics applications (GPU) and energy efficiency. Externally, the devices are mostly identical.

Both the M2 and M3 models use the proven Liquid Retina display with LED technology. It offers high sharpness, covers the wide P3 color gamut, and features True Tone for comfortable reading. It's important to note, however, that both Air models operate at a 60Hz refresh rate. If you want the smoother 120Hz ProMotion display, you'll still have to opt for the significantly more expensive iPad Pro.

Compatibility is identical for both generations. Both the 13-inch iPad Air with M2 and the version with M3 support the Apple Pencil Pro with its advanced gestures, as well as the Apple Pencil with USB-C. Unfortunately, the older magnetic Apple Pencil (2nd generation) no longer works with these models, as the charging coil has been relocated due to the new position of the front camera.

Despite their large screens, both models offer the typical Apple battery life of up to 10 hours when browsing the web or playing videos. The larger casing allows for a larger battery, which effectively compensates for the screen's power consumption. Even though the M3 chip is slightly more efficient, you'll find that both devices offer similarly good battery life in everyday use.

The 13-inch iPad Air is the ideal choice for anyone who needs a large screen but doesn't want to spend the budget for an iPad Pro. The 13-inch size is perfect for using two apps side-by-side in Split View, reading life-size digital sheet music, or creating drawings. It's the perfect laptop replacement for students and creative professionals.

Since both the 2024 and 2025 models are still very new, Revendo offers devices in excellent condition, often virtually indistinguishable from new. You save a significant amount of money compared to buying new and still receive a technically tested device with a warranty, while simultaneously conserving valuable resources by continuing to use it.

Since the 13-inch form factor is new to the Air line, you'll generally need new protective cases. However, there's good news regarding keyboards: the 13-inch iPad Air is compatible with the Magic Keyboard, which was originally designed for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. So, you might be able to use an existing or a cheaper used keyboard, provided it's the correct size.
