iPad Air lets you immerse yourself in whatever you’re reading, watching, or creating. The 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display features advanced technologies like True Tone, P3 wide color, and an antireflective coating.

Speedy

The breakthrough M1 chip is now in iPad Air. An 8-core CPU delivers up to 60 percent 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.

Cellular & Wifi

Join superfast 5G wireless networks when you’re on the go. Download files, play multiplayer games, stream movies, check in with friends, and more. Fast wireless connections are critical for staying in touch. With WiFi 6, rest assured that you have superfast WiFi. Get to your files in the cloud, watch shows with friends using SharePlay, and more.

Secure

Touch ID is built into the top button, so you can use your fingerprint to unlock your iPad, sign in to apps, and make payments securely with Apple Pay. And iPad Air comes in five gorgeous colors.

Front & Back Camera

The 12MP Ultra Wide front camera enables Center Stage, making video calls more natural and content creation more fun. As you move around, the camera automatically pans to keep you centered 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.
