For iPad, the goal has always been somewhat contradictory: a device with infinite possibilities that's so thin and light, you'd almost forget you had it in your hands. A device that lets you do amazing things without getting in the way.
iPad Air 2 is not only thinner, it's faster. We developed a new chip called A8X. It delivers significantly better system and graphics performance than its predecessor. In fact, with its 64-bit architecture, iPad Air 2 matches the performance of a typical PC. And it's also extremely energy efficient, giving you 10 hours of battery life so you can work, play, and shop all day long.
