Product Overview

Serious performance in a thin and light design. The redesigned iPad Air. Two portable sizes. M2 chip. Landscape front camera. Beautiful new colours.

The incredibly fast M2 chip brings breakout performance to iPad Air. With a powerful CPU, GPU and Neural Engine, it’s nearly 50 per cent faster than the previous generation.

The iPad Air supports Apple Live Speech. 

With Live Speech on iPad Air, users can type what they want to say to have it be spoken out loud during phone and FaceTime calls, as well as in-person conversations. Users can also save commonly used phrases to chime in quickly during lively conversation with family, friends and colleagues. Live Speech has been designed to support millions of people globally who are unable to speak or who have lost their speech over time.

For users at risk of losing their ability to speak — such as those with a recent diagnosis of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) or other conditions that can progressively impact speaking ability — Personal Voice is a simple and secure way to create a voice that sounds like them. 

Users can create a Personal Voice by reading along with a randomised set of text prompts to record 15 minutes of audio on iPhone or iPad. This speech accessibility feature uses on-device machine learning to keep users’ information private and secure, and integrates seamlessly with Live Speech so users can speak with their Personal Voice when connecting with loved ones.
