The iPad Air 2 was created with an “Air” feel in mind when compared to the size of the traditional iPad versions – it was designed 20% thinner and 28% lighter than the iPad 3rd and 4th generations. Having a look at iPad Air 2 specs, this model has a thinner housing, an antireflective screen (said to reduce glare by 56%), a faster processor and twice the RAM, better cameras, and faster Wi-Fi. iPad is packed in thin white and gold colored, white and silver colored, or black and medium toned “Space Gray” cases. Even though it was made smaller, it was still able to carry out both creative and consumption tasks and its “Air” feel was an advantage. Apple was able not to sacrifice any of the functionality in the device previously seen from the original iPad line-up.
The iPad Air 2 came with a 2 GB RAM and had options that came with 16, 32, 64 or 128 GB of storage. All storage options are curtesy of Apple’s flash storage chips.
The iPad Air 2 had a 9.7 inch IPS LED-backlit “retina” display that supported a native resolution of 2048×1536 (264 ppi). It featured 8 megapixel “iSight” camera capable of shooting stills and 1080p 30 fps video and a front-mounted 1.2 megapixel “FaceTime HD” camera capable of shooting stills and 720p video.
The iPad Air 2 came with iOS 8.1 (12B410) for its operating system. It was powered by a custom developed 1.5 GHz dual-core Apple A8X processor.
The iPad Air 2 was equipped with a Lithium Polymer battery that supported up to 10 hours of surfing of the web on Wi-Fi, watching a video, or listening to music there was no official report on the amount of standby time that the battery could support.
The Operating System installed on the tablet could be upgraded from iOS 8.1 (12B410) to iPadOS 15.x. However, no physical upgradability was present in the device due to the complex nature of fitting all components into such a compact form.
