Apple Intelligence. Personal, private, powerful
iPad Air is built for Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system that helps you write, express yourself and get things done effortlessly. With groundbreaking privacy protections, it gives you peace of mind that no one else can access your data — not even Apple.
Apple Intelligence enables delightful ways to express yourself visually. Turn a rough sketch into a related image with Image Wand. And create new images based on descriptions, suggested concepts and even a person from your Photos library with Image Playground. Writing Tools help you find just the right words and transform the way you communicate. Proofread your text, rewrite different versions to get the right tone and summarise selected text with a tap.
With the Clean Up tool in the Photos app, you can easily remove unwanted distractions in your photos. Apple Intelligence identifies background objects so you can delete them with a tap for the perfect shot — while staying true to the original image.
Apple Intelligence protects your privacy at every step
It’s integrated into the core of iPad through on-device processing, so it’s aware of your personal information without collecting your personal information. And with groundbreaking Private Cloud Compute, Apple Intelligence can draw on larger, Apple-designed server‑based models, running on Apple silicon, to handle more complex requests while protecting your privacy.
iPadOS and apps. Get up to something wonderful
iPadOS is designed to let you do all the things you love easily and powerfully from first touch to finishing touches. Use multiple apps at the same time, write in any text field, and navigate quickly and efficiently using just your finger, Apple Pencil or the Magic Keyboard trackpad.
Do it all. All at once
Stage Manager lets you multitask effortlessly by allowing you to overlap and resize windows to look the way you want, so you can easily navigate between them. You can also group apps for specific tasks or projects and arrange them in your ideal layout.
Built‑in apps for all the essentials
iPad Air comes with powerful and capable apps designed to help you create, connect and get things done. Browse, edit and share your images and videos with Photos. Create dazzling presentations with Keynote and add style with Apple Pencil Pro, or magically solve complex equations in Maths Notes.
Amazing apps for any ask
Apps can transform iPad Air into almost anything you need it to be. And with over a million apps on the App Store designed just for iPad, you’ll find the right app for whatever you want to do.
Apple Pencil Pro. Engineered for limitless creativity
Apple Pencil sets the standard for how drawing, painting, handwriting and note-taking should feel — intuitive, precise and magical. All with pixel‑perfect precision, low latency, tilt sensitivity and support for palm rejection. And Apple Pencil Pro adds even more capabilities to bring your ideas to life like never before.
Intuitive and precise creative control
- Squeeze. Apple Pencil Pro can sense when you squeeze it and brings up a palette, so you can quickly switch tools, line weights and colours
- Barrel roll. A gyroscope allows you to rotate Apple Pencil Pro for precise control of shaped pen and brush tools
- Haptic feedback. A custom haptic engine delivers precise feedback you can feel. When you squeeze or double‑tap, you’ll feel a light pulse confirming the action
- Apple Pencil hover. Preview exactly where your Apple Pencil will touch down on your display, and see a virtual shadow of your tool. So you can write, sketch and illustrate with even greater precision
- Double tap. Quickly switch between tools, like a pen and eraser, with a double tap on Apple Pencil Pro
Ready when inspiration strikes
Apple Pencil Pro pairs, charges and stores magnetically on the side of iPad Air. And if you lose or misplace it, you can easily locate your Apple Pencil Pro in the Find My app. iPad Air works with Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB‑C). Two great options for all kinds of creativity.
Magic Keyboard. The keys to your best work
Magic Keyboard is the perfect companion for iPad Air. It delivers an amazing typing experience and a trackpad for precision tasks in a sleek, portable design. The keyboard includes a 14‑key function row, a USB-C connector for pass‑through charging, and front and back protection for your iPad Air. The floating cantilever design smoothly adjusts to multiple viewing angles, and a large glass trackpad expands how you can work with iPadOS.
Cameras. Capture your imagination. And everything else
Advanced front and back cameras make it easy to shoot and edit incredible content in a snap. Copy text in photos or videos and translate languages using Live Text. And Centre Stage makes all your video calls more dynamic.
Connectivity. Wait-less wireless
Stay connected with blazing-fast Wi‑Fi. You have the option to add a flexible data plan whenever you need it to browse the web, play games, stream movies and more.
