How this iPad Air 13-inch (M3) reference works

The reference combines this display’s 2732 × 2048 resolution with its 13-inch diagonal. PPI is the diagonal pixel count divided by the physical diagonal: sqrt(width² + height²) / diagonal inches. The 264 PPI figure is a rounded hardware-display specification, useful as a starting estimate rather than a browser measurement.

Browser CSS pixels, operating-system scaling, and browser zoom can all differ from the panel’s hardware pixels. That is why a screen specification cannot by itself guarantee a physical on-screen inch.

Calibrate on this tablet

Use the ruler in the same orientation and browser zoom that you will use for measuring. Verify the reference scale with a physical card after the estimate is applied.

Start with the 13-inch estimate, then compare the on-screen card guide with a physical standard card before relying on the ruler for a measurement. Recalibrate after changing zoom, display scaling, or the active screen.

Read the calibration guide or calculate PPI manually.
