General
Time after time, Apple succeeds in improving the user experience for a new generation of their products. This fifth generation of the popular tablet, the Apple iPad Air, is no different! Its name is self-explanatory: thanks to the slim casing, the Air is 28% lighter than its predecessor. This is all the more impressive if you consider that its speed has increased and the energy consumption has remained the same, thanks to the super-fast and efficient A7 processor chip, in combination with the new iOS 7 operating system.
The advantages of the iPad Air Wi-Fi
This iPad Air 16 GB may be the most attractively priced of the silver-white Wi-Fi series, but its performances are as powerful as its siblings. The design is extremely neat: the very clear and spacious Retina display is still 9.7 inches, but it is surrounded by narrower edges. This means that the screen has a more prominent place in the unit and this really makes the images stand out! The tablet is also fitted with not one, but two Wi-Fi antennas, for an extra powerful and fast wireless reception. The improved camera sensor and double microphone ensure that the video communication is smoother than ever.
A7 processor: desktop speed
Every time Apple releases a new model, the processor speed of the previous model is surpassed. The A6X chip of the iPad 4 was fast, but this iPad Air is equipped with the advanced 64-bit A7 chip with its M7 motion processor. The A7 performs twice as well as its predecessor, without using any additional energy. Intensive use and heavy apps are no problem for this Apple. Multi-media applications (HD video, photo effects, music apps) are displayed smoothly, thanks to the increased graphic performances. During all of this, the iPad Air will keep on responding seamlessly to your commands. The iPad Air is a worthy new generation from tablet market leader Apple.
