There’s a new iPad, but it’s not any old update. Meet the iPad Air, what Apple’s marketing boss calls “the lightest full size tablet in the world.” Read on for all the details!
Apple’s keen to make clear its new iPad isn’t just the fifth-gen. It’s a whole new breed of slate out of Cupertino – it keeps the same 9.7-inch Retina display but fits it into a shell 43 percent thinner than the last model, while stuffing in multiple antennas for faster, smoother Wi-Fi performance, the blazing 64 bit A7 chip from the iPhone 5s and a five megapixel iSight camera that’s capable of shooting 1080p video – all for up to 10 hours on a charge.
Best of all, it weighs just one single pound (453g), making it ever easier to hold and the lightest full-size tablet. Sony Xperia Tablet Z (494g), eat your heart out.
Want one? The iPad Air goes on sale on 1 November in Space Grey and Silver, and it’ll set you back £399 for the 16GB Wi-Fi model, while you can double up your storage for £479. The 64GB and whopping 128GB versions will cost you £559 and £639 respectively, while it’s £100 extra for 3G/4G skills. Apple also says the iPad 2 will stay on sale, starting at £329.
