Fun at the
speed of M1.
The breakthrough M1 chip is now in iPad Air. An 8-core CPU delivers up to 60 per cent faster performance than the previous generation, making iPad Air a creative and mobile gaming powerhouse. Multitask smoothly between powerful apps and play graphics-intensive games. And with M1, you can go even further with your creativity with apps like SketchUp.
The extraordinary 8-core GPU delivers up to two times faster graphics, so you can draw a social media filter in Procreate, build in 3D with uMake and more. And with all‑day battery life, you can keep creating wherever you go.2
The Apple-designed 16‑core Neural Engine accelerates machine learning so you can do amazing things. Intelligently editing photos with Pixelmator Photo is faster and easier than ever.
Shoot. Scan. And take Centre Stage.
The 12MP Ultra Wide front camera enables Centre Stage, making video calls more natural and content creation more fun. As you move around, the camera automatically pans to keep you centred in the shot. When others join or leave the frame, the view expands or zooms in.
The 12MP Wide back camera is perfect for capturing photos and 4K videos. And with the powerful ISP in the M1 chip, iPad Air now features Smart HDR, so your photos look even more beautiful.
You can also use the back camera to scan documents and then mark them up with Apple Pencil.3 And with the large display, you can shoot video and photos and edit them directly on iPad Air.
Stream
and share. Pretty much everywhere.
Stay connected when you’re on the go. Download files, play multiplayer games, stream movies, check in with friends and more.4
Fast wireless connections are critical for staying in touch. With Wi‑Fi 6, rest assured that you have super-fast Wi‑Fi. Get to your files in the cloud, watch programmes with friends using SharePlay and more.
Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard. Everyday essentials.
iPad Air supports the second-generation Apple Pencil. Draw, take notes and mark up screenshots and photos. It’s easy to use and always ready when inspiration strikes.3
Use the Smart Keyboard Folio,
or attach the Magic Keyboard
for responsive typing and a
built‑in trackpad. It’s perfect for sending an email or writing a
short story. And get front and
back protection with Smart Folio covers in beautiful new colours.5
Connect to drives, docks, cameras and more using USB-C, now with up to two times faster transfer speeds than the previous generation. So transferring large photos and videos is quicker than ever.
iPadOS.
Work wonders with ease.
iPadOS is uniquely powerful, easy to use and designed for the versatility of iPad. Use multiple apps at once, navigate using the power of touch and more.
And with amazing features in iPadOS 15, you can jot down your thoughts with Quick Note, connect with friends and family using SharePlay, and use Live Text to make a call, send an email or look up directions with just a tap on the highlighted text in a photo.
Lots of apps.
Loads of fun.
Apps from the App Store can transform iPad Air into anything from a maths classroom to an animation studio. And apps that come with iPad are more capable than ever. Now with Swift Playgrounds, you can build and submit apps to the App Store directly on iPad.
Shown above: Slack, Affinity Publisher, Swift Playgrounds, Pages, Microsoft Excel and Adobe Aero.
