iPad Air 1

About

The iPad Air 1 was announced in October 2013, and released a month later in conjunction with its small-format counterpart, the iPad mini 2. Among the many common features between the two different-sized iPads were a Retina screen and the Apple A7 chip. The iPad Air was aptly named, because it was slimmer, lighter and had a smaller screen bezel than previous iPad models. In fact, the slimmer profile (now down to 7.5 mm) was mainly achieved by the use of lower-profile components, which also resulted in an overall 22% weight reduction.

The 9.7” Retina display was carried over from its predecessor, the iPad 2, but the iPad Air 1st Gen was able to boast an improvement to the clarity of apps such as FaceTime. This was achieved by the inclusion of an improved front-facing camera, which included HD video, facial detection and back illumination. The rear camera (now called ‘iSight’) was also subject to improvements, with similar functionality to the front camera, plus other enhancements to improve the recording and the viewing experience. The iPad Air was praised for being not only light weight but also for having a crisp and colourful display.
