So capable, you won't want to put it down. So thin and light, you won't have to
With iPad, Apple have always had a somewhat paradoxical goal: to create a device that's immensely powerful, yet so thin and light you almost forget it's there. A device that helps you do amazing things, without ever getting in your way. iPad Air 2 is all that. And then some.
Not just a thinner display. A beautiful display
To create the astonishingly thin silhouette of iPad Air 2, they started by redesigning the Retina display, fusing what had been three layers into one. Not only did this make the display thinner, it made it better, with more vivid colors and greater contrast. Then they added an antireflective coating, giving iPad Air 2 one of the least reflective displays of any tablet in the world.
Massive power. In a minimal form
Not only is iPad Air 2 thinner, it's also a lot more powerful. They designed a chip, the A8X, that delivers substantially better CPU and graphics performance than its predecessor. In fact, with its 64-bit desktop-class architecture, iPad Air 2 is as powerful as many personal computers. It's power efficient, too, with a 10-hour battery life that lets you work, play, surf and shop all day long.
Advanced security. Right at your fingertip
iPad Air 2 comes with their breakthrough Touch ID technology. It gives you an unprecedented level of security because it uses nature's most perfect password: your fingerprint. So with just one touch, you can instantly unlock your iPad Air 2. But Touch ID goes beyond that. You can also make secure purchases in iTunes, iBooks and the App Store. And with Apple Pay, you can unlock an entire world of online shopping that's fast, convenient and secure.
Two amazing cameras. Cleverly disguised as an iPad
The iSight camera in iPad Air 2 delivers advanced optics, an improved sensor and a powerful Apple-designed image signal processor. There are features like panorama, time-lapse videos, slo-mo and burst and timer modes. The front-facing FaceTime HD camera has been redesigned, too, with an improved sensor and larger pixels for even better low-light performance. The upshot? All your photos and videos - and video calls and selfies - look incredible.
Faster wireless. Good things come to those who don't wait
Wi-Fi on iPad Air 2 is fast - more than twice as fast as the previous generation - so downloading movies and streaming videos take less time. And the Wi-Fi + Cellular model is equipped with faster, more advanced LTE technology. With Apple SIM, you can choose a plan quickly and easily in over 100 countries and territories right from your device. So you can make fast connections, even when you're on the go.
Apps designed for iPad. And everything you want to do with it
iPad Air 2 comes with powerful apps for the things you do every day, like surfing the web, checking email, editing movies and photos, writing reports and reading books. And there are hundreds of thousands of apps on the App Store, designed specifically for the large Retina display (instead of stretched-out phone apps). So whether it's photography, gaming, traveling or managing your finances, you'll find an app that will help you do it better.
iOS 10 and iPad. Made to do more together
iPad Air 2 runs iOS 10, the most advanced, intuitive and secure mobile operating system in the world. With enhanced apps and features like Slide Over, Split View and Picture in Picture, iOS 10 lets you multitask in powerful yet simple ways. Whether you're checking messages while answering email or creating a presentation while watching the big game, iOS 10 helps you get more out of iPad than ever before.
Covers and Cases for iPad Air 2
Protect every pixel of iPad Air 2 with a Smart Cover or Smart Case. Available in seven bright colors, the Smart Cover is made from durable polyurethane. The Smart Case, in rich aniline-dyed leather, protects both the front and back of your iPad.
Design
Ingenuity makes it thin. Its unibody makes it strong
When it was introduced five years ago, the original iPad set the standard for thinness and lightness. Since then, iPad has become even thinner and lighter. But thanks to its durable aluminum unibody, iPad Air 2 doesn't sacrifice strength in the pursuit of thinness. From the moment you pick it up, you feel how sturdy and rigid it is.
Not just a thinner display. A beautiful display
The displays on previous generations of iPad used three separate components. iPad Air 2 changes all that, combining those three layers into just one. This eliminates gaps between layers, along with the internal reflectance caused by those gaps. The result? Colors are richer, contrast is greater and images are sharper and more vivid.
Your content, right at your fingertips
The LCD layer is now closer to your eyes (and your fingers), so when you touch the screen it feels as if you're touching your content. And they have improved the sensitivity of the screen, so it tracks your finger even more accurately, especially when you make quick gestures. Which means everything you do - playing games, surfing the web, enjoying photos and videos - becomes more personal, immediate and immersive.
An incredibly low-reflectance tablet
iPad Air 2 features a custom-designed antireflective coating that reduces glare by 56 percent, making it one of the least reflective tablets in the world. In virtually any kind of environment - offices, classrooms, outdoors - everything is clearer and more readable.
Every detail counts. Even the ones measured in microns
The beveled edges of the aluminum unibody are cut with a mono-crystalline diamond to tolerances measured in microns. (For reference, the width of a human hair is about 75 microns.) That level of detail may seem excessive. But every detail adds up to a better overall experience.
An iPad the whole planet can love
Apple always thinking about the impact their products have on the world. And they know that impact continues after the end of a product's useful life. That's why nearly every Apple product is made from highly recyclable materials like aluminum and why they go to great lengths to exclude harmful toxins from their components. iPad Air 2 is a perfect example. The aluminum enclosure is highly recyclable. And every iPad Air is free of brominated flame retardants (BFRs), beryllium and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). In fact, Apple has one of the strictest BFR-free and PVC-free standards in the industry.

Massive power. In a minimal form
With an A8X second-generation chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, iPad Air 2 is incredibly fast and powerful. With this kind of performance, you might expect a compromise or two. Like a bigger form factor or a shorter battery life. But iPad Air 2 is both thinner and lighter than the previous iPad Air. And thanks in part to the M8 motion coprocessor, it still has an incredibly long 10-hour battery life. So you can do more. While carrying less.
The A8X chip with 64-bit architecture
The fast and fluid performance of iPad Air 2 begins with its A8X chip. With 64-bit desktop-class architecture and an extraordinary 3 billion transistors, the A8X chip delivers speed and graphics that rival many personal computers.
40 percent faster CPU performance
Compared with the A7 chip in the previous iPad Air, the A8X chip delivers 40 percent faster CPU performance. From launching apps to playing games, everything is more fluid and responsive. And all your actions - swiping, pinching, zooming, scrolling and rotating - happen quickly and smoothly.
More than double the graphics performance
The A8X chip has an astonishing 2.5 times the graphics performance of the A7 chip. So iPad Air 2 delivers graphics once possible only on desktop computers and gaming consoles. Graphics-intensive games and video editing apps run superbly and they look gorgeous on the big Retina display.
Metal. A real game changer
To get the greatest graphics performance out of the A8X chip and iOS, they created Metal - a technology that lets developers design highly immersive console-style games. Metal is optimized to allow the CPU and GPU to work together to deliver detailed graphics and complex visual effects. So every imaginary world feels more realistic.
Usually, increased performance comes at the expense of battery life. Notice Apple said "usually"
Thanks to hardware and software that work together seamlessly, iPad Air 2 isn't just extremely powerful. It's also extremely power efficient, with up to 10 hours of battery life. And that's an impressive feat of engineering, considering it's just 6.1 mm thin and weighs less than a pound.
M8 coprocessor. A more advanced way to use less power
When you're in motion, the M8 motion coprocessor continuously measures data from the accelerometer, compass, gyroscope and barometer. This offloads work from the A8X chip for improved power efficiency. The motion coprocessor also continuously calibrates all five sensors, so when you want to play a game or use the Maps app, iPad Air 2 is ready and able.
