Apple publishes one trade-in figure for each iPad family, the most it pays for the newest model in the best condition. An older iPad Air (4th gen) gets less, so the tool leaves Apple's figure out of the upgrade cost and uses local quotes.
Is it worth upgrading from the iPad Air (4th gen) to the iPad Air 11-inch (M4)?
A new iPad Air 11-inch (M4) 128GB Wi-Fi costs £749 in the United Kingdom. After selling an iPad Air (4th gen) at the best local quote, it costs £573 (5 Oct 2026). Our default verdict: MAYBE.
Your iPad Air (4th gen) still does the job. The iPad Air 11-inch (M4) is a nice-to-have.
- It is 6 years old. Apps and iPadOS features increasingly assume newer hardware.
What the iPad Air 11-inch (M4) adds
- The M4 chip, newer than your A14.
- Apple Intelligence, which your iPad cannot run.
- Apple Pencil Pro support, which your iPad does not have.
Your own result depends on storage, Wi-Fi or Cellular, condition and where you sell, so run the tool for your iPad.
