Features
So capable, you won't want to put it down.So thin and light,you won't have to.
iPad Air 2 has a re-engineered Retina display, revolutionary Touch ID fingerprint sensor, powerful A8X chip, improved iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, and even faster wireless. And it's all in a durable aluminium enclosure that's only 6.1 millimetres thin. So you can take it just about anywhere. And do just about anything.
A8X chip.Incredibly powerful. But not power hungry.

From launching apps to playing games to editing video, everything is more fluid and responsive on iPad Air 2. That's because the all-new A8X chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture provides 40 per cent faster CPU performance than the A7 chip in the previous iPad Air. It also has 2.5 times the graphics performance. And yet iPad Air 2 still gives you up to 10 hours of battery life.1
Touch ID.Security based on a one-of-a-kind design: your fingerprint.
With the revolutionary Touch ID fingerprint sensor, you can use your fingerprint to unlock your iPad Air 2 and sign in to secure apps. You can also use it to make purchases from iTunes, the iBooks Store and the App Store — all without ever typing your password or billing information.
Two amazing cameras.Clearly disguised as an iPad.

The new 8MP iSight camera has advanced optics, an improved sensor and a more powerful image signal processor that let you capture incredibly detailed photos and 1080p video. You can also shoot high-resolution panoramas and time-lapse and slo-mo videos. The FaceTime HD camera is better than ever for video calls and selfies, especially in low light.2 The Retina display isn't just a great viewfinder, it also helps make iPad Air 2 the perfect way to shoot, edit and share your photos and videos. And there are many apps that take advantage of the built-in cameras, so you can do things like analyse your golf swing, virtually move furniture around your living room, or scan and store documents and receipts.
Faster wireless.Good things come to those who don't wait.

All your files. All right there
All your files.All right there
You can store your photos, videos and other files straight on iPad Air 2. Or you can use iCloud to access them securely from anywhere.4 You can also store and manage them with third-party apps and services like Dropbox and Google Drive. And with just a tap, you can use AirDrop to quickly and easily share your documents and files with people nearby. No setup required.
Safe. And secure.
iPad Air 2 and iOS 8 are engineered to work seamlessly together, creating a great user experience in an environment that's designed to be highly secure. Because iOS is engineered with such a focus on security, most of the mobile malware in the world ends up on other platforms. And we're always working to make it even more secure. We lead the industry in delivering operating system updates as quickly as possible, and we make it easy for you to download and install updates on your iPad to take advantage of our latest protections.
Your privacy matters.
At Apple, we don't build a profile based on your email content or web browsing habits to sell to advertisers. We don't "monetise" the information you store on your iPad or in iCloud. And we don't read your email or your messages to get information to market to you. Our software and services are designed to make our devices better. Plain and simple.
You can type, print and watch.With no strings attached.
