Apple iPad Air is a top quality iOS device released in 2013, which features a high-tech 1400 megahertz Dual-Core 64 bits CPU, an enormous 9.7" screen, a 5 megapixels back camera and a 1.2 MP front camera. But it's time to get into some more detail.
Apple did a very good design job making this device weight only 16.86 ounces. This device has an amazing design, with a thickness of just 0.3 inches. This tablet is only 9.45" long, but it still manages to hold a 9.7" screen. This tablet is for sale in 3 different colors, black, gray and white. Talking about its construction materials, this tablet is mainly built with Aluminium, giving this tablet a premium finish and high resistance.
Apple equipped this device with a good looking 9.7 inches display, and a 1536 x 2048 resolution, which makes everything look very good. Its display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.
Apple decided to build the iPad Air using a Apple A7 chip, which holds an extremely powerful Dual-Core processor speeding at 1.4 GHz with only 1 GB of RAM which is a little disappointing for such a great tablet. To help with graphic intensive games and applications, it also has a 600 MHz PowerVR G6430 graphics processing unit. A good advantage of the iPad Air is the 16 GB quite large internal storage and even though it doesn't count with a slot for an SD memory card, it should be enough to store hundreds of applications, although it may not be enough if you are fan of the largest games currently available.
This device is equipped with two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back camera and a 1.2 mega-pixels front facing camera. The Apple iPad Air also captures videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 frames per second. This camera also features lots of amazing features like auto-focus, digital image stabilization, HDR mode, face detection shooting, time lapse video and geo tagging.
This device counts with wifi connectivity (and it can be shared with other devices around, acting as a modem), 4G LTE high performance connectivity and fast 3G connection type, supported by HSPA, EV-DO A, EV-DO B and EDGE technologies. The iPad Air uses a Nano SIM card for GSM carriers.
This tablet also comes with a handful of nice features as Bluetooth and GPS Localization, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.
This tablet has an incredible 8820 mAh Li-Polymer non-removable battery that provides this tablet a marvelous battery life. An issue to consider is that this tablet's battery is non-removable so you can't buy a new battery when it begins to get older, whereas with this big battery you will probably discard this tablet device before that becomes an issue.
Apple sells this tablet for 211 dollars, which is somewhat expensive for comparing with other similar tablets. It doesn't matter whether you want this tablet to play lots of games, will use this tablet device mostly for social networks and internet browsing, want it for work or you love taking photographs, this tablet is probably the right choice . When buying the Apple iPad Air you will also get Lightning to USB Cable and USB Power Adapter.
