Apple iPad Air with Wi-Fi 128GB - Silver (ME906HN-A)

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.

All-new design. Leaner. And definitely meaner.
iPad Air is impossibly thin but incredibly solid thanks to its aluminium unibody design. It dropped almost a quarter of the volume of the previous-generation iPad. So it weighs just 469 grams. But what makes iPad Air truly remarkable is that it packs so much more power and capability into its sleek enclosure.

Retina display. So much to see. So little to hold.
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 2048x1536 resolution and over 3.1 million pixels, photos and videos shine with detail and text looks razor sharp. Pixels are indiscernible.

Incredible performance. It’s light on everything but power.
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, whenever 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 start. It also supports OpenGL ES version 3.0, enabling detailed graphics and visual effects once possible only on desktop computers and games 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 per cent thinner and up to twice as fast as the previous-generation iPad, it still gives you the same incredible 10-hour battery life.1 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.

Advanced wireless. Make better connections wherever you go.
Your new favourite app, book or film. Your next FaceTime call or iMessage. Ultrafast wireless lets you access the things you love, straight from iPad Air. So more than ever, you can stay in sync and in touch.

Ultra-fast WiFi
iPad Air gives you up to twice the WiFi performance thanks to two antennas and MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) technology. With dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) 802.11n WiFi 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 film, share photos or documents with AirDrop, or just browse the web, your connection is even faster than before.

More networks
iPad Air with WiFi + Cellular lets you connect to the Internet even if you’re away from a WiFi signal. iPad Air supports even more bands to connect to more mobile data networks around the world.2 Now you can get online at really fast speeds — faster than broadband in some cases — in more places. And data plans are flexible, so you don’t have to sign a contract

Great apps included. Comes ready to work. And play.
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 or talk to Mum over FaceTime. And now iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers and Keynote are free with iPad Air.3 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 optimised 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.

iPhoto
Snap a shot with the iSight camera and make it look amazing with powerful, simple-to-use editing tools that let you paint adjustments onto an image with your finger, with professional‑quality effects.

App Store. Over 475,000 adventures await.
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.

StockTouch
This app will change the way you understand the stock market. As you watch the market unfold, you can uncover insights on companies and sectors, and study historical information.

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 a mobile network and see (or show) every expression on the beautiful display.4 And now the FaceTime HD camera features a next-generation backside illumination sensor with bigger 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, and your video recordings sound clearer.

iPad Air and iOS 7. Designed to bring out the best in each other.
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 Centre, 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.

iCloud. Everything you need. Anywhere you need it.
iCloud keeps all your content synced across all your devices — automatically. It’s seamlessly integrated with your devices, so you can start a Pages document on your Mac and finish polishing it on your iPad Air. The pictures you shoot with your iPhone appear instantly on iPad Air thanks to iCloud Photo Sharing. Or start watching a film on iPad Air on the train and pick up where you left off at home on your Apple TV.

The most amazing thing about holding it is that you forget you’re holding it.
iPad Air is astonishingly thin and light. Through a series of refinements, we were able to drop nearly a quarter of the volume of the previous-generation iPad. Yet from the moment you pick it up, you’ll notice how durable it feels. Elegant unibody construction strengthens and simplifies the enclosure. We took everything we’ve 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.

A 24 per cent reduction in overall volume
We shaved fractions of millimetres off many components. By reducing their thickness, we were able to make iPad Air far thinner and lighter.

What you don’t 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. It’s 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 recognises if your thumb is simply resting on the display while you’re holding it or if you’re 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.

Twice the power in even less space shouldn’t add up. And yet it does.
The way iPad Air feels in your hand is remarkable. But just as remarkable is the way it performs. Even though iPad Air is so thin and light, we managed to pack an incredible amount of power and technology inside

Hardware and software that were made for each other
iOS 7 and iPad Air weren’t just designed to work well, they were designed to work well together. So the experience of using them together is seamless. Like iPad Air, everything about iOS 7 is simple and incredibly intuitive.

And iOS 7 on iPad Air was optimised to include thoughtful choices that take advantage of the iPad experience. For example, the Control Centre panel is in an easy-to-read horizontal orientation. In the Camera app, the shutter button appears on the side of the screen rather than at the bottom — because that’s where your thumb is when you’re holding iPad. All these small considerations make iOS 7 not just beautiful to see, but beautiful to experience.

One bright idea deserves another.
When you have a device as thin and light as iPad Air, you don’t want to put something on it that adds bulk. So we designed the iPad Air Smart Cover and Smart Case to fit and protect iPad Air perfectly. They’re crafted with as much precision and care as iPad Air itself.

Smart Cover
The Smart Cover is constructed from a single piece of polyurethane and features a sleek new covered hinge that custom-fits the thin profile of iPad Air. It comes in six vibrant colours. And it doesn’t just protect iPad Air. The Smart Cover actually wakes iPad Air when opened and puts it to sleep on close. The Smart Cover also folds into different positions to create a stand for reading, viewing, typing or making FaceTime calls. And it’s easily removable, so you can snap it on and off whenever you want.

Smart Case
The Smart Case is the most streamlined way to protect iPad Air, front and back. It comes in five rich shades of beautiful aniline-dyed leather for a splash of colour, and it feels great in your hand. And it’s been redesigned with an even slimmer profile. The Smart Case wakes iPad Air when opened and puts it to sleep on close. And like the Smart Cover, it folds to create a stand, so you can position iPad Air for whatever you want to do.

Designed to have a big impact on the world. Not the environment.
At Apple, we’re always thinking about the impact our products have on the world. And we 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 aluminium, and why we go to great lengths to exclude harmful toxins from our components.

iPad Air is a perfect example. The aluminium enclosure is highly recyclable. And every iPad Air is free of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). In fact, Apple has one of the strictest BFR-free and PVC-free standards in the industry. And we expect the same from our suppliers. So we actually disassemble our products into individual components and materials in our Cupertino lab. Then we test those components using a variety of methods, including X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and ion chromatography. We do this to ensure that every product we release meets our environmental standards
