The Apple iPad Air 10.9" Wi-Fi + Cellular 256GB Purple (5th Gen) now delivers faster performance with a breakthrough Apple M1 chip, making iPad Air a creative and mobile gaming powerhouse with an immersive 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display. The latest release of Apple's iPad Air also features Touch ID, advanced cameras, blazing-fast 5G and Wi-Fi 6, USB-C, and support for optional Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil (2nd generation).
iPad Air lets you immerse yourself in whatever you’re reading, watching or creating. The 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display features advanced technologies like True Tone, P3 wide colour and an antireflective coating.
The innovative M1 chip is now available in iPad Air letting you multitask smoothly between powerful apps and play graphics-intensive games. And with all-day battery life, you can keep creating or gaming wherever you go.
The 12MP Ultra Wide front camera enables Centre Stage, making video calls more natural and content creation more fun. As you move around, the camera automatically pans to keep you centred in the shot. When others join or leave the frame, the view expands or zooms in
The 12MP Wide back camera is perfect for capturing photos and 4K videos. And with the powerful ISP in the M1 chip, iPad Air now features Smart HDR, so your photos look even more beautiful.
You can also use the back camera to scan documents and then mark them up with Apple Pencil. And with the large display, you can shoot video and photos and edit them right there on iPad Air.
Join superfast 5G wireless networks when you’re on the go. Download files, play multiplayer games, stream movies, check in with friends and more. iPad Air is incredibly easy to set up with eSIM support.
Superfast Wi-Fi 6
Fast wireless connections are critical for staying in touch. With Wi‑Fi 6, rest assured that you have superfast Wi‑Fi. Get to your files in the cloud, watch shows with friends using SharePlay and more.
iPad Air supports the second-generation Apple Pencil. Draw, take notes, and mark up screenshots and photos. It’s easy to use and always ready when inspiration strikes.
Use the Smart Keyboard Folio, or attach the Magic Keyboard for responsive typing and a built‑in trackpad. It’s perfect for sending an email or writing a short story. And get front and back protection with Smart Folio covers in beautiful new colours.
*Optional accessories available for purchase seperately.
iPadOS is uniquely powerful, easy to use and designed for the versatility of iPad. Use multiple apps at once, write in any text field with Scribble, and navigate using the power of touch. You can jot down your thoughts with Quick Note, connect with friends and family using SharePlay, and use Live Text to make a call, send an email or look up directions with just a tap on the highlighted text in a photo.
Apps from the App Store can transform iPad Air into anything from a maths classroom to an animation studio. And apps that come with iPad are more capable than ever. Now with Swift Playgrounds, you can build apps and submit them to the App Store right there on iPad.
Connect to drives, docks, cameras and more using USB-C, now with up to 2x faster transfer speeds than the previous generation. So transferring large photos and videos is quicker than ever.
Touch ID is built into the top button, so you can use your fingerprint to unlock your iPad, sign in to apps, and make payments securely with Apple Pay.
