Features:
The iPad Air is astonishingly thin and light. Through a series of refinements, we were able to drop close to a quarter of the volume of the previous-generation iPad. Yet from the moment you pick it up, youll notice how durable it feels. Elegant unibody construction strengthens and simplifies the enclosure. We took everything weve learned about making unibody devices and refined the process to be even more material-efficient and exact. The result is an iPad Air that feels amazing to hold and is easy to take with you wherever you go
What you dont see is just as important as what you do
More than ever, all eyes are on the stunning Retina display. iPad Air has thinner bezels on the sides of the display and a narrower width overall. But the size of the display stayed the same. Its a subtle change, but it makes a dramatic difference. You see it the moment the screen comes to life. The beautiful display is more prominent than ever. And your attention is on what matters: your content.
The software also works intelligently with the new display. Using a touch-rejection algorithm, iPad Air recognizes if your thumb is simply resting on the display while youre holding it or if youre intentionally interacting with the Multi-Touch screen. It's a great example of how Apple hardware and software are designed to work together to give you the best experience possible
It all starts with the new A7 chip
The A7 brings 64-bit desktop-class architecture to the iPad, which means the iPad Air speaks the language of the most advanced computing designs available. The A7 chip makes the iPad Air up to 2x faster than the previous generation in both CPU and graphics performance. So it delivers incredible power and performance in a one-pound device.
Theres a reason we design our own chips. We can decide which functions we want a chip to perform and build them right into the individual circuits and components. This creates more efficient power usage, which allows our devices to be so thin and light yet have great battery life. Its one of the advantages of designing both the hardware and the software. Because the only way you can build a product this thin and powerful is by investing in and caring about the primary components used to make it
M7 provides a little help. And a lot ofefficiency
The M7 motion coprocessor is another reason why the iPad Air can be so powerful yet power efficient. We designed M7 to measure the motion of the iPad Air by collecting data from the gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass. It offloads work from the A7 chip, gathering motion information from the iPad Air so apps can adapt their functions. Because M7 was engineered for this specific task, it uses less power than A7 would require. And it frees up A7 to focus on other tasks. The result is not only a better iPadexperience,but great battery life
And loads more technology lies within
The 7.5-mm-thin enclosure of the iPad Air is filled to the brim with advanced technologies that help give you an even better experience. The iPad Air is designed to be on the go, so it has two antennas to support MIMO (multiple input multipleoutput) for up to twice the 802.11n Wi-Fi performance.
It also features a 5-megapixel iSight camera and a FaceTime HD camera with an improved sensor for better video calls, and dual microphones improve audio and suppress background noise for video recording, FaceTime calls, and voice recognition when using Siri. All this technology fits within a sleek frame thats light and easy to hold.Hardware and software that were made for each other
iOS 7 and the iPad Air werent just designed to work well, they were designed to work well together. So the experience of using them together is seamless. Like the iPad Air, everything about iOS 7 is simple and incredibly intuitive
