new 13-inch iPad Air has a max display brightness of 600 nits, which is 20% higher than the 11-inch iPad Air, according to
Apple's tech specs for the devices.

Peak brightness levels (SDR) for recent iPad Pro and iPad Air models:
<ul><li><strong>13-inch iPad Pro (M4):</strong> 1,000 nits</li>
<li><strong>11-inch iPad Pro (M4):</strong> 1,000 nits</li>
<li><strong>12.9-inch iPad Pro (M2):</strong> 600 nits</li>
<li><strong>11-inch iPad Pro (M2):</strong> 600 nits</li>
<li><strong>13-inch iPad Air:</strong> 600 nits</li>
<li><strong>11-inch iPad Air (M2):</strong> 500 nits</li>
<li><strong>10.9-inch iPad Air (M1):</strong> 500 nits</li></ul>
