iPad Air

Power isn’t just for the pros.

iPad Air brings more of our most powerful technologies to more people than ever. The A12 Bionic chip with Neural Engine.

A 10.5‑inch Retina display with True Tone. Support for Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard. And at just 456 grams

and 6.1 millimetres thin, carrying all that power is effortless.

Everything you need in just 456 grams.

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. And with up to 10 hours of battery life, iPad Air can go all day on a single charge.

Stay connected from anywhere.

With Wi‑Fi speeds up to 866 Mbps and 4G LTE Advanced, iPad Air keeps you connected wirelessly and effortlessly. And with eSIM, you can easily access wireless data plans straight from your iPad Air all over the world.

Power to do it all. All at once.

The A12 Bionic chip with Neural Engine enables a whole new 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.

Super‑fast graphics for games and apps.

A 4‑core graphics engine in the A12 Bionic chip delivers amazing performance for incredible augmented reality experiences, photorealistic effects in 3D games and stunning graphics within apps.

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 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 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 new 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 new experiences. 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.

Write, draw, sign or sketch. Whenever inspiration strikes.

Apple Pencil features the precision, responsiveness and natural fluidity of a traditional writing instrument, and the versatility to become so much more.4 With Apple Pencil, you can turn iPad Air into your notepad, canvas or just about anything else you can imagine.

Take notes and mark up documents, screenshots and more.

Take notes and jot down ideas as naturally as you do on paper. You can even search your handwritten notes and convert them to text. You can also mark up documents, add drawings to notes, or snap and annotate a screenshot.

Full‑size keyboard. Full‑screen protection.

The Smart Keyboard lets you write an essay or create a presentation on a full-size keyboard whenever you need one. It connects easily without the need for pairing or charging, so it’s always ready to go. And when you’re done, it folds to create a slim, lightweight cover.

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 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.

All your files. All in one place.

With the Files app, you can access and manage what’s on iCloud Drive, on third‑party cloud services such as Box and Dropbox, and on your iPad Air. So no matter where you are, your files are saved in one convenient place.

Make your iPad whatever you want it to be.

iPad Air comes loaded with Apple‑designed apps you’ll use every day, like Photos, Maps, Messages, Apple News, Mail and Safari. You’ll also get a suite of powerful productivity apps, including Pages, Numbers and Keynote. And you can get creative straight out of the box with GarageBand and iMovie.

Over a million apps designed for iPad on the App Store.

There are apps in the App Store for anything you want to do — photography, drawing or just getting work done. Apps are designed for the power and large display of iPad and to work perfectly with Apple Pencil. And the App Store is updated daily with recommendations to help you discover new apps.

The best place for all your photos, files and more.

iCloud keeps things like your photos, files and notes safe, current and conveniently available on all your devices.5 And the Files app lets you manage all your files — in iCloud Drive and on your iPad Air — in one central location.

Your information belongs to you. Period.

Like every Apple product, iPad Air was 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.

Designed to empower everyone.

We believe technology is most powerful when everyone can use it. That’s why iPad Air comes with accessibility features that support vision, interaction, hearing and learning needs. Including VoiceOver, which tells you what’s happening on your screen, and Switch Control, which lets you interact with iPad Air without touching it.
