BUILT FOR APPLE INTELLIGENCE
Apple Intelligence is the personal intelligence system that helps you write, express yourself and get things done effortlessly. With groundbreaking privacy protections integrated into the core of iPad, it gives you peace of mind that no one else can access your data — not even Apple.[2] (Apple Intelligence available now)
PERFORMANCE AND STORAGE
M3 is a powerful chip built for Apple Intelligence and brings amazing performance for advanced creative and product tasks, graphics-intensive games and smooth multitasking. And with all-day battery life, you can keep working and playing wherever you go.[5] Choose up to 1TB of storage depending on the room you need for apps, music, movies and more.[6]
IPADOS + APPS
iPadOS makes iPad more productive, intuitive and versatile. With iPadOS, run multiple apps at once, use Apple Pencil to write in any text field with Scribble, and edit and share photos. Stage Manager makes multitasking easy with resizable, overlapping apps and external display support. iPad Air comes with essential apps like Safari, Messages and Keynote, with over a million more apps designed specifically for iPad available on the App Store.
APPLE PENCIL AND MAGIC KEYBOARD
Apple Pencil Pro transforms iPad Air into an immersive drawing canvas and the world’s best note taking device. Apple Pencil (USB-C) is also compatible with iPad Air. Magic Keyboard for iPad Air delivers an amazing typing experience with a built-in trackpad and 14-key function row, and it doubles as a protective cover on the go. Accessories sold separately.
ADVANCED CAMERAS
iPad Air features a 12MP Center Stage front camera that’s perfect for video calls and selfies. The 12MP Wide back camera is perfect for document scanning and capturing photos and 4K videos.
CONNECTIVITY
Wi-Fi 6E gives you fast wireless connections for quick transfers of photos, documents and large video files.[3] And with 5G cellular capabilities, you have the option to stay connected when you’re away from Wi-Fi and add a flexible data plan whenever you need it.[4] Connect to external displays and more with the USB-C connector.
UNLOCK AND PAY WITH TOUCH ID
Touch ID is built into the top button, so you can use your fingerprint to unlock your iPad Air, sign in to apps and make payments securely with Apple Pay.
