What’s new with the iPad Air 11-inch (M4) 2026?
Based on current leaks and industry reports, Apple is expected to keep the familiar iPad Air design. The lineup should still include 11-inch and 13-inch models, with a top-mounted Touch ID button and USB-C connectivity.
The main upgrade is the M4 chip. Built on an advanced 3-nanometer process, it offers noticeable performance gains over the previous generation. With up to 10 CPU cores, you can expect faster multitasking, smoother video editing, and better performance in demanding games. The GPU and Neural Engine are also improved, helping power features like Apple Intelligence.
Another rumored upgrade is Apple’s new N1 wireless chip, which could bring support for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, allowing faster and more stable wireless connections where supported. Pricing is expected to remain unchanged, with the 11-inch model starting at around $599.

Do I still need a screen protector if I use a folio case for the iPad Air 11-inch?
Yes, a screen protector is still strongly recommended. Even with a folio cover, fine dust or sand particles can become trapped between the screen and the cover, causing scratches when the case is closed or during movement. In addition, when you remove the iPad from the folio for handheld use, a screen protector adds an extra layer of protection against accidental drops and impacts.
How do I clean an ESR case for iPad Air 11″ (M4)?
To clean your iPad Air 11-inch case, use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe away dust and fingerprints. For tougher stains, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap.
Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol, or abrasive materials, as these may damage the surface finish or coating.

Definitely. We know the whole point of the iPad Air is portability, so we’ve kept our 11-inch cases slim and light enough to toss into any bag without weighing you down. They provide solid everyday protection against bumps and scratches while keeping the profile thin.
That said, if you need more than just a stand for watching movies—maybe you need to knock out some emails, or study—you should check out our keyboard cases. They turn your iPad into a portable workstation so you can stay productive at a coffee shop or on a plane without needing a bulky laptop.
Will ESR cases for iPad Air 13″ (M3) fit the iPad Air 13″ (M4)?
