The new iPad Air 2 is here, and it's slimmer and more powerful than ever.

Thinnest iPad ever

At just 6.1 mm thick, the Air 2 is Apple's thinnest ever iPad. It's impressively light too, so it's easy to hold in one hand, discretely slip into and bag and take anywhere.

It looks and feels great thanks to its aluminium unibody case, while the wraparound design improves rigidity and keeps the important internals safe when on the go.

All-new display

Unlike previous iPad displays, the Air 2's Retina screen is a single component. This eliminates gaps for a brighter picture with improved clarity and colours. It brings the screen closer to your fingertips for a better touch response when playing games and browsing, so you feel more connected to your content than ever before.

While incredible iPad Air picture quality remains, the iPad Air 2 includes an anti-glare coating that makes it comfortable to use inside, outside and under bright artificial light.

More powerful

Compared to the previous generation, the iPad Air 2 boasts 40% faster performance thanks to the new A8X processor. From turning on and checking your mail to running demanding apps and games, your whole tablet experience is quicker and more responsive.

It features vastly improved graphics too, so photo-editing and modelling apps run at their best along with beautiful everyday surfing and browsing.

Better battery life

Surprisingly, turning up the performance throughout the iPad Air hasn't affected the energy consumption. You still get an all-day 10 battery life that allows you to access the information that matters to you wherever, and whenever, you feel like it.

Fingerprint scanner

Keeping your private information private is quick and easy thanks to the new Touch ID fingerprint scanner - simply swipe your finger over the sensor embedded in the Home button to unlock your account.

iOS 9

The iPad Air 2 comes preinstalled with iOS 9. Featuring a colourful new design, iCloud integration and tons of new features including the ability to send and receive text messages directly from the tablet when paired with an iPhone, it takes the iOS formula you know and makes it better.

There are now well over a million apps available from the App Store, so whatever you're into, the iPad Air 2 has something you'll love.

Enjoy the most powerful and compact iPad ever with the iPad Air 2.
