Yes, thanks to the M4 chip and its powerful Neural Engine, this device fully supports all Apple Intelligence features.

Does this model have a 120Hz ProMotion display?

No, the iPad Air 11" M4 still uses a 60Hz Liquid Retina display. The 120Hz refresh rate is reserved for iPad Pro models.

Which Apple Pencil is compatible with it?

This model is compatible with Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C) models. Older Apple Pencil 1st and 2nd generations are not supported.

Is the iPad Air M4 suitable for professional video editing?

Yes, the M4 chip is powerful enough for smooth use of Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve applications, even for 4K projects.

Where is the front camera located on this model?

Can I use my old iPad Air case?
