History

The iPad Air is the fifth model of iPad. Presented during a keynote on October 22, 2013, the iPad Air is equipped with the Apple A7 64-bit processor and an M7 coprocessor. The iPad Air marks the first major design change for the iPad since the iPad 2 generation; it features a thinner profile of 7.5 millimeters and a reduced screen bezel, similar to that of the iPad mini. Apple reduced the overall volume of the iPad Air by using thinner components, achieving a 25% weight reduction compared to the iPad 2. Although it uses the same 9.7-inch Retina display as the previous iPad model, an improved front-facing camera makes FaceTime usage significantly sharper. The new front-facing camera is capable of recording 720p HD video, includes face detection and backlight illumination. The rear camera also received an update; now called the iSight camera, it possesses the same functions as the front camera as well as a 5MP CCD sensor, a hybrid IR filter, and a fixed aperture of ƒ/2.4.
