Let’s begin with the essentials – skip ahead to the next section if you know the basics. The iPad Air 1 was the fifth in Apple’s line of full-size iPad tablet computers, all of which have 9.7in screens (measured diagonally); a sixth full-size iPad, the iPad Air 2, launched a year after the iPad Air 1 and offered the same screen dimensions. Of these...
The iPad Air 1 runs Apple’s own operating system software, iOS, and if you buy one today it will have the latest version of iOS, iOS 8, pre-installed. (When the iPad Air 1 first launched it came with iOS 7, and if you buy a second-hand iPad Air 1 that the owner hasn’t chosen to update it could still have this operating system – if that’s something ...
When it came out, the iPad Air 1 seemed flabbergastingly light and wondrously slim. Inevitably, things have moved on a little since then. Set against the original iPad, the iPad 2, the third-gen ‘new iPad’ and the iPad 4, the iPad Air 1 stands out first and foremost for its lightness, like its half-namesake the MacBook Air. As you can see in the te...
As well as being a featherweight, the Air is remarkably slender for a 9.7in tablet: it’s only 7.5mm thick. We were therefore more than a little concerned about the issue of robustness. In fact, the Air feels solid enough to set our minds at rest concerning ‘snapping accidents’. One issue we had, however, was with the iPad Air’s screen (we talk abou...
What about the iPad Air 1’s screen quality? The short answer is that it’s the same as ever – which is to say, exceptional. The Retina-classscreen looks the same as on previous Retina iPads – the iPad 3 and iPad 4 – boasting four times the pixel count of the original iPad’s 1024 x 768. Once again we’re looking at 2048 x 1536 pixels, and a pixel dens...
The iPad Air 1 was a stunningly quick device at launch and remains comfortably fast enough to handle pretty much anything the App Store can throw at it. The Air 2 is faster still, but most of its speed gains remain largely theoretical for now, because the apps don’t yet exist to push its ultra-powerful processor to the limit. This situation won’t l...
The iPad Air 1 is highly capable at graphical processing: the interface looks and feels supremely smooth, whether twisting around 3D renders or playing graphically demanding games, such as Infinity Blade 3. To see how the iPad Air compares to the graphical chops of other Apple tablets, we put the iPad Airs (and the iPad minis) through the GFXBench ...
As far as the cameras are concerned, the iPad Air 1 has a full-HD-capable main camera on the back (like the older iPad 4, which also takes 5 megapixel still pictures). The iPad Air 2 sees a bump to 8Mp on its rear-facing camera. What does this translate to in real-world testing? For a start, the pictures shot by the iPad Air 2 are bigger, in the se...
Apple reduced the size of the battery from 42.5Wh (in the old iPad 4) to 32.4Wh – presumably to reduce weight and physical size. Yet Apple claims that overall battery life is roughly the same, at its favoured figure of 10 hours of web browsing or video. How does Apple maintain battery life while using a smaller battery? The new Apple A7 processor m...
Our audiophile colleague Andrew Harrison tested out the iPad Air 1’s speakers, and wasn’t impressed. “The new iPad now has a tiny pair of speakers to play in stereo, against the former single mono speaker,” he writes. “It’s almost as loud as iPad 3 at full volume but has a quacky coloration as well as sounding rougher, more sandpapery. There also s...
