The iPad Air has ample storage for apps, media, and documents without constant cleanouts. It also sports WiFi 6E, which means the iPad Air keeps up with fast internet connections and outputs better streaming (fewer buffering headaches). The Apple M2 chip in the iPad Air is a multitasking beast, ready for everything from editing videos to diving into graphics-heavy games without a stutter. Its 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU make apps fly, while the Neural Engine easily handles tasks like photo edits and AR. Designed for speed and efficiency, the M2 keeps things smooth, and the battery lasts all day so you’re not tied to an outlet.

The bundled AppleCare+ adds peace of mind, covering unlimited accidental repairs with minimal fees ($29 for screen repairs and $99 for other damage) for two full years. AppleCare+ activates automatically upon delivery, so your iPad Air is protected from day one without any extra setup. Amazon sends the coverage details directly to your inbox.
