The Apple iPad Air 1 is breaking boundaries in terms of design and performance.  It's unbelievably light, incredibly sleek and boasts a powerful A7 chip for up to 10 hours of battery life and even faster WiFi.

Designed to do more

The all-new design weighs less than 0.5 kg and is almost a quarter of the volume of the previous iPad. Its professionally designed frame is robust and durable with its aluminium foundation and metallic detailing.

The iPad Air comes with a free upgrade to iOS 8, which offers clearer icons, tons of new features and improvements to the keyboard, messaging, battery indicator and more.

You'll find over 475,000 apps on the App Store with a huge range of categories to explore, from gaming to health and fitness. The iPad Air also comes with a range of pre-installed applications to get you started.

Seamless computing

The Apple A7 processor and M7 coprocessor put expansive computing at your fingertips, allowing you to do even more. The A7 chip brings desktop architecture to a tablet computer with twice the speed and even more fluidity. Scrolling, swiping and tapping your way around applications is effortless and adds an extra dimension to gaming.

Thanks to the A7 chip the iPad Air is even more efficient, with a 10-hour battery life, so you can work and play all day long.

With advanced dual band WiFi technology built into your iPad Air your connection is up to twice as fast as previous generation iPads.

Retina display just got better

With a much slimmer bezel and thinner width, the Retina display on the iPad Air is even more breathtaking. You can enjoy true edge-to-edge viewing and really get in the picture as your attention is drawn towards what matters most.

A 2048 x 1536 resolution and over 3 million pixels deliver the most lifelike display of colours and razor-sharp detail, so sit back and relax as your content comes to life.

Get in the picture

A 5 MP iSight camera uses advanced technology and a five-element lens to capture stunning images. Whether you're shooting in bright sunlight or in low light conditions, the rear illumination sensor lets you capture impressive shots every time.

Built-in face detection and balanced focus and exposure settings enable you to capture those precious moments with ease. You can also shoot equally amazing videos in Full HD 1080p with automatic video stabilisation, for judder-free movies that teem with life.

Consider mobile broadband

If you love to travel or live in an area with poor internet connectivity, mobile broadband is the best way to get online.

Mobile broadband gives you a hot spot in your pocket by connecting to the internet via 3G or 4G - similar to the way your smartphone does when you're away from home.
