Design

The iPad Air features a large 10.5‑inch Retina display, while remaining extremely portable and perfect for getting things done anywhere. It’s thin and light and features advanced wireless connectivity.

Power to do it all. All at once

The A12 Bionic chip with Neural Engine enables a level of power and intel­ligence. It uses real‑time machine learning to transform the way you experience photos, gaming, augmented reality and more. With all this power, you can edit a video, create a beautiful presentation, design a 3D model, stream your favourite TV programme or do all of those things at once.

See the beauty in everything you do

The immersive 10.5‑inch Retina display with wide colour lets you see photos, videos and games in vivid, true‑to‑life detail and no matter where you take the iPad Air, True Tone, high brightness and an anti-reflective coating give you the best viewing experience.

True Tone. Easy viewing in any light

True Tone dynamically adjusts white balance based on the light around you. So images look natural and are easier on your eyes whether you’re reading a book in bed or surfing the web poolside.

Stay in touch. Shoot in HD. Play in AR

The front and back cameras on the iPad Air let you take stunning photos and 1080p HD videos. But you can also do much more. Make a Group FaceTime call, Scan a document, sign it and send it back or create worlds by using the camera for augmented reality experiences.

Work, learn and play using AR

Augmented reality combines digital objects and information with the real world to create entirely different experiences. The iPad is the perfect device for truly immersive AR - with front and back cameras, the A12 Bionic chip with Neural Engine, a large, vivid display and sensors for motion tracking.

Designed to help you get the most out of iPad

iOS is an advanced mobile operating system that puts everything you need within a tap or a swipe. Simple gestures give you command over the power and large display of the iPad Air. Multitask by selecting your favourite apps in the Dock. Drag and drop files between apps and organise your files however you want with the Files app.

Your information belongs to you. Period

Like every Apple product, the iPad Air is designed with your privacy and security in mind. Touch ID makes unlocking your iPad Air simple and secure and you can make purchases conveniently and safely with Apple Pay. Just place your finger on the Touch ID sensor and you’re good to go.
