That describes all of them. M1 and earlier are 13.3", M2 is 13.6".
At one point there was an 11" Air but the last model in that size is from 2015: 7 years ago.

GP says they've been using these computers since 2012, so presumably they're speaking from their own experience with the old 11" Air.
Shame it's gone IMO, I love the size. My current laptop is a 2014 11" Air.

I drove an 11" Air for 3 years until I sold that machine to a friend who kept it running for another 3-5 years. Loved the size of the machine, not so much of the screen - but I made it work. These days I'm not sure I could use something that small for serious work but the current (actually previous gen, I haven't tried the M2 one yet) 13" Air is a pretty good size!
I have to say, the Airs are hands down the most handy, and in particular the 13" one. It strikes a perfect balance between screen size, weight, and responsiveness, and the battery is always much, much better than anything else. In all, I feel the least amount of internal resistance when I have to reach for the Air, lift the lid, and start typing, while all other computers have one or more practical or psychological barriers.
