If you’re thinking about getting an iPad for the first time or trading-up to a newer model, now is the perfect time to get an iPad Air 2. Here’s what makes it so amazing:
Most Powerful iPad Ever
The iPad Air 2 is the only iPad with Apple’s A8X chip, coupled with the new M8 motion coprocessor. What does this mean? 2.5x faster graphics and 40% faster overall performance compared to the A7 chip in iPad Air and iPad Mini 2 & 3. iPad Air 2 offers unparalleled performance while maintaining the same 10-hour battery as its predecessor.
Thinner, Lighter, More Vivid
iPad Air 2 is 18% thinner than iPad Air and iPad Mini and weighs less than a pound. Apple has reengineered the screen too, combining the cover glass, touch sensor and LCD into one layer for a fully laminated display. This reduces internal reflectance caused by gaps in the three layers and creates richer colors, greater contrast and sharper images in a thinner display. It also makes content appear closer to your finger, so it feels like you’re truly interacting with all the content iPad Air 2 has to offer.
Multitasking Features in iOS9
When iOS9 launches this fall (or earlier if you signup for the public beta), iPad Air 2 is the only iPad that will be able to run all of the incredible new multitasking features. This includes true split-screen multitasking, where you can fully interact with two apps at the same time.
Touch ID and Security![]()
Thanks to Apple’s advanced fingerprinting technology called TouchID, iPad Air 2 is much more secure than previous iPads, and is compatible with Apple Pay. While it doesn’t make sense to haul your iPad over to make a purchase in stores, Apple Pay also works with many online retailers - giving you a much more secure way to pay online.
Better Camera
iPad Air 2 features the same 8MP camera as iPhone 6, giving you much better photo quality than its 5MP predecessor. It also supports burst mode (which can be used to make animated GIFs) and Slo-Mo video.
Faster Wireless
WiFi on iPad Air 2 is 2.8x as fast as before, giving you speeds up to 866Mbps. This means a better connection when using technologies like AirDrop and AirPlay. The WiFi + Cellular model includes up to 50% faster cellular connections and over 20 LTE bands, more than ever before.
Feelin’ Like Gold![]()
iPad Air 2 now comes in Gold. Enough said.
Just $10/month on Verizon
Add iPad Air 2 to your Verizon More Everything Plan for just $10/month line access. Plus, get $100 off your purchase when you activate at CityMac.
A Great Mobile Hotspot
