10.9-inch Liquid Retina display
The 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display puts you in the middle of what you’re doing. And with advanced features like True Tone, wide color gamut (P3), and anti-reflective film, you’ll be watching. Read, create, or devour series, all at ninja level.
Touch ID is built into the top button, so you can use your fingerprint to unlock iPad, sign in to apps, and pay securely with Apple Pay. Plus, iPad Air comes in five amazing colors. It’s a tough choice.
M1: The fun is flying.
The M1 chip revolutionizes iPad Air. The eight-core CPU delivers up to 60 percent faster performance than the previous generation, so you can unleash your imagination and crush your favorite games. Simultaneously use multiple, even the most demanding apps or enjoy graphics-intensive games. And with the M1 chip and apps like SketchUp, your creativity takes on new heights.
The extraordinary eight-core GPU gives you up to 2x faster graphics. You’ll notice it when drawing social media filters in Procreate, designing in 3D with uMake, or anything else you can dream up. And with sunrise-to-sunset battery life, inspiration will follow you like it’s your shadow.
The 16-core Apple-designed Neural Engine accelerates machine learning so you can do amazing things. Like editing photos faster than ever in Adobe Lightroom, so you can intelligently select the sky in your images with just a tap. Yes, tapping the sky is now super easy.
Record. Scan. And suck on the camera with Center Framing.
Centered Framing
The 12MP front-facing Ultra Wide with Center Framing makes video calls more natural and creates fun content. Move around and the camera automatically follows you to keep you in the center of the frame. It also zooms in and out as other people enter or leave the frame. Watch those smiles come to you.
The 12MP rear wide-angle camera is perfect for taking photos and 4K videos. And thanks to the image signal processor (ISP) in the M1 chip, iPad Air now comes with Smart HDR. The result: your photos are always frame-worthy.
Having a good wireless connection is essential for staying in touch with your loved ones. That's why the iPad Air features sixth-generation Wi-Fi technology that reaches supersonic speeds. It's perfect for saving files to the cloud or watching a movie with friends using SharePlay, among many other things. Because where there's Wi-Fi, there's joy.
iPad Air supports the second-generation Apple Pencil. Draw, take notes, and annotate photos or screenshots. There's no idea you can't sharpen.
Use the Smart Keyboard Folio or attach the Magic Keyboard to add a trackpad for ultimate precision typing. You’ll feel right at home when you’re sending email or writing your next script. And with the gorgeous new Smart Folio colors, no matter which side your iPad falls on, it’s protected on both sides.
Connect hard drives, docks, cameras and everything else you need to power through the USB‑C port, which now offers up to twice the transfer speeds of the previous generation. In other words, when it comes to transferring huge photos and videos, iPad Air is a cyclone.
iPadOS.
Work in easy mode.
iPadOS
iPadOS is as powerful as it is intuitive, and is designed to make iPad even more versatile. Use multiple apps at once, fill in any text field with Handwriting, and navigate the interface with just the swipe of a finger. It doesn’t cost you anything to do it all.
Tons of apps.
Tons of fun.
With apps from the App Store, you can turn iPad Air into anything from a math classroom to an animation studio. Built-in apps are more powerful than ever. And now with Swift Playgrounds, you can develop and submit your apps to the App Store without ever leaving your iPad. Pim‑pam and success is on the way.
