Apple M1 Chip

Now with the M1 chip, the iPad Air can take full advantage of next-level performance and custom technologies, like the advanced image signal processor and unified memory architecture of M1. And with the incredible power efficiency of the M1, iPad Air is still thin and light with an all-day battery life of up to 10 hours, making it as portable as it is powerful.

Faster Performance and Graphics

The 8-core CPU of M1 delivers up to 60% faster performance. And M1 has an 8-core GPU in a class of its own, providing up to 2x faster graphics performance than the iPad Air. So you can build intricate AR models, play games with console-quality graphics at high frame rates, and more.

Liquid Retina Display

The iPad Air has a 10.9″ Liquid Retina Display with a 2360 x 1640 resolution and P3 wide color gamut coverage for vivid colors. It also has True Tone, 500 nits of brightness, and an anti-glare coating for better viewing. True Tone optimizes the white balance of the display to best fit your ambient light, so it’s easy on the eyes. The screen supports the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil.

Apple Pencil

Supporting the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil (sold separately), the iPad Air lets you write and draw freely as if you had a pen and paper.
