The new iPad Air is unbelievably thin and light. And
yet it’s so much more powerful and capable. With the A7 chip, advanced
wireless, and great apps for productivity and creativity — all beautifully
integrated with iOS 7 — iPad Air lets you do more than you ever imagined. In
more places than you ever imagined.
iPad Air is impossibly thin but incredibly solid
thanks to its aluminum unibody design. It dropped almost a quarter of
the volume of the previous-generation iPad. So it weighs just one
gravity-defying pound. But what makes iPad Air truly remarkable is that
it packs so much more power and capability into its sleek enclosure. So
you can do even more with it, while carrying even less with you.
iPad has always been about the display. And
that’s even more true with iPad Air. Because we reduced the width of the
device, along with the bezels on the sides of the display. But the size
of the stunning Retina display is exactly the same. So your content
fills your view more than ever. With a 2048-by-1536 resolution and over
3.1 million pixels, photos and videos pop with detail and text looks
razor sharp. Pixels are indiscernible. So all you see is what you want
to see.
The new Apple-designed A7 chip brings 64-bit
desktop-class architecture to iPad. That means up to twice the CPU speed
and graphics performance for everything you do. And still up to 10 hours
of battery life to study, play, build, and create whatever you want, all
you want.
A7 chip
The A7 chip takes iPad to new heights of
power and speed. Thanks to the A7 chip, apps run faster. Games are
more responsive. And everything you do with iPad Air feels quicker,
because it is quicker. Up to twice as quick, in fact. But that’s
just the beginning. It also supports OpenGL ES version 3.0, enabling
detailed graphics and visual effects once possible only on desktop
computers and game consoles. And the A7 chip features 64-bit
architecture, opening the door for even more robust and powerful
apps. Which means even more possibilities for what you can do with
iPad Air.
M7 coprocessor
iPad Air was designed to be on the move.
That’s why the M7 coprocessor makes so much sense. It measures
motion from your iPad Air by pulling data from the accelerometer,
gyroscope, and compass. So your apps can give you a better
experience based on the movement of your iPad Air. It’s a task that
would normally fall to the A7 chip. But M7 is more efficient at it,
which saves on power.
Same great battery life
iPad Air is powerful, but not power hungry.
Even though it’s 20 percent thinner and up to twice as fast as the
previous-generation iPad, it still gives you the same incredible
10-hour battery life. That’s because the A7 chip isn’t
just more powerful, it’s also more efficient. So no matter where you
go with iPad Air, you’ll have the battery power to go even further.
Your new favorite app, book, or movie. Your next
FaceTime call or iMessage. Ultrafast wireless lets you access the things
you love, right from iPad Air. So more than ever, you can stay in sync
and in touch.
Ultrafast WiFi
iPad Air gives you up to twice the Wi-Fi
performance thanks to two antennas and MIMO (multiple-input
multiple-output) technology. With dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz)
802.11n Wi-Fi and MIMO, download speeds
can reach up to 300 Mbps — double the data rate of the
previous-generation iPad. So now when
you want to download a movie, share photos or documents with
AirDrop, or just browse the web, your connection is even faster
than before.
iPad Air is the perfect everyday companion.
Because it comes with apps that help you do the everyday things you love
to do, like check your email, talk to Mom over FaceTime, or consult Siri
to settle a bet. And now iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers, and
Keynote are free with iPad Air. So you can write the next
great novel, nail your presentation, and compose a score for your home
movie — all from your iPad Air. And all these apps are optimized for
64-bit architecture. So they run smoothly and powerfully, and make
iPad Air — and you — more capable than ever. From the moment you turn
it on.
Plan a road trip. Study whale migration. Draw
blueprints for a building. Or repel a zombie invasion. For anything and
everything you do, there’s an iPad app. And new ones are always being
added in the App Store. iPad apps are so much easier to use and love
because they aren’t just stretched-out phone apps. They feel like
they’re made for iPad — because they are made for iPad. They take
advantage of every pixel on the Retina display and leverage technologies
like the gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass. And with the incredible
potential of 64-bit architecture, this is just the beginning for what
you’ll be able to do (and explore, and study, and draw, and zap) with
iPad Air.
FaceTime HD camera
Sometimes it’s nice to put a face to the
conversation. And with FaceTime video calls on iPad Air, your
conversations never looked better. Make a video call over Wi-Fi or
cellular and see (or show) every expression on the beautiful
display. And now the FaceTime HD camera features a
next-generation backside illumination
sensor with larger pixels. Which brightens up all your FaceTime
chats, selfies, and group Photo Booth shots, even in
low-light situations.
5MP iSight camera
We think about what goes into a great shot,
so you don’t have to. The 5-megapixel
iSight camera on iPad Air was designed to help you capture all of
life’s moments at a moment’s notice. Use the Retina display as an
easy viewfinder to frame the perfect shot. And quickly swipe between
capturing stills or 1080p HD video. Every time you shoot, the image
signal processor in the A7 chip works with the camera to make a ton
of adjustments and deliver a great picture or video — automatically.
You don’t have to think about anything other than who you’re going
to share the moment with.
Dual microphones
iPad Air hears where you’re coming from. That’s
because it has two microphones. And they don’t just collect more sound —
they work together to capture better sound by suppressing audio from the
source you’re not focused on. So the audio on FaceTime calls is improved
because there’s less background noise. Your video recordings sound
clearer. And Siri is even better at recognizing what you’re saying.
Because iOS 7 was designed for iPad Air, everything
not only looks beautiful, it runs beautifully. And iOS 7 introduces great
new features, such as smarter multitasking, AirDrop, and Control Center,
that make the things you do every day even easier, faster, and more
enjoyable. It’s everything you love about iOS. Made even easier to love.
