Thin 9.7" Retina tablet
The Apple iPad Air 2 delivers a 9.7 inch Retina IPS display at 2048 x 1536 resolution with 264 ppi pixel density. It runs on an Apple A8X 1.5 GHz processor with 2GB of memory and 16GB of flash storage. The silver enclosure measures 9.4 x 6.6 x 0.24 inches and weighs between 22 and 2.9 lbs. It ships with iOS 12 installed and offers over 5 hours of battery life.
Wi-Fi only portable media device
This unit suits buyers who want a lightweight iPad for web browsing, streaming and light productivity on a Wi-Fi network. It is not for users who need cellular connectivity away from a hotspot. It is not for workflows that require more than 16GB of local storage or external USB peripherals. The single lightning port limits wired accessory options.
Companion for home and travel
The tablet fits into a bag or sleeve alongside a phone and charger for all-day use away from a desk. Its built-in speakers and dual cameras handle video calls and casual photography without extra gear. The Touch ID sensor unlocks the device quickly, freeing you from entering a passcode repeatedly. Wi-Fi only service means you rely on available networks rather than a data plan.

Questions about this item
What Wi-Fi capability does the iPad Air 2 need to connect to a wireless network?
The iPad Air 2 uses Wi-Fi only for wireless connectivity, so it requires a standard Wi-Fi router or access point to join a network.
Will the Lightning port on this iPad Air 2 accept the same charging cable as an older 30-pin iPad?
No, the iPad Air 2 uses a Lightning connector, which is not compatible with the older 30-pin dock connector used on earlier iPad models.
How can I verify the Retina display is showing the correct 2048 by 1536 resolution after setup?
Open Settings, tap General, then About, and confirm the model number matches MGLW2LL/A; the 9.7 inch screen with 264 ppi will then be running at its native 2048 x 1536 resolution.
