Apple M2 Chip

The iPad Air now features the M2 chip, delivering fast performance and high power efficiency. With a powerful 8-Core CPU, 10-Core GPU, and a 16-Core Neural Engine, the M2 is nearly 50 percent faster than the previous generation. With M2, the iPad Air is an ideal device for AI, featuring a more efficient 16-core Neural Engine that is 40 percent faster than M1. Combined with ML accelerators in the CPU and a powerful GPU to boost on-device machine learning, along with Apple silicon’s unified memory architecture, iPad Air delivers optimal AI performance. Taking advantage of this performance, you can enjoy intelligent iPadOS features such as Visual Look Up, Subject Lift, or Live Text.

11″ Liquid Retina Touchscreen

The iPad Air has an 11″ 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-reflective coating for better viewing.
