A10 Fusion chip. Engineered for performance.
64-bit architecture. Four-core design. Over 3.3 billion transistors. Translation: iPad is incredibly fast. Which comes in handy when you want to edit a 4K video, play graphics-intensive games, or experience the latest augmented reality apps.
It multitasks easily. So you can, too.
iPad packs enough power to use multiple apps all at once. Work on your business plan while doing research on the web while making a FaceTime call to a colleague at the same time. It’s even easier than it sounds.
The most immersive way to experience augmented reality.
Augmented reality (AR) is a new technology that brings virtual objects into the real world. And every aspect of iPad — from the display to the processing power to the motion sensors — is designed to make AR apps more magical than before.
Apple Pencil. Dream it up. Jot it down. (sold separately)
iPad has always been a great way to get what’s in your mind down on the page. And now you have a new way to do it. Write notes, paint a watercolor, or sign a lease. With Apple Pencil, you’ll do it all with pixel-perfect precision and responsiveness. Use it as naturally as you would a pencil, while doing a whole lot more than you would with one.
Two great cameras that do more than take great photos.
Built-in front and back cameras allow you to shoot gorgeous photos and cinematic videos, scan documents, make FaceTime calls, or even create a floor plan using augmented reality.
Loaded with powerful built-in apps.
Cut a track with GarageBand, make a compelling presentation with Keynote, or shoot and edit a short film with iMovie. iPad comes with a collection of apps from Apple so you can start creating right out of the box.
Thin, light, durable. And in three great finishes.
At just one pound and 7.5 mm thin, iPad is a breeze to take wherever you go. It’s built to be durable, so you have peace of mind knowing you can take it anywhere. And it’s just as beautiful as it is portable — available in silver, space gray, and a new gold.
Wi-Fi and LTE. Get online anywhere.
iPad features Wi-Fi speeds up to 866 Mbps, LTE speeds up to 300 Mbps, and Apple SIM, which connects you to cellular data networks in over 180 countries and regions. So you’re always free to catch up on your favorite show during your commute, send an email on the fly, or post vacation photos during your trip.
10 hours of battery life on a single charge.
With all-day battery life, iPad gives you more time to surf, write, draw, work, shop, and whatever else you need to do between charges.
Swipe, pinch, tap. It’s that easy.
iPad is designed so that using it feels like second nature, even if you never have before. Multi-Touch gestures let you do things like browse photos, edit documents, and organize your files simply by touching the beautiful 9.7-inch Retina display.
Dock. Get to your favorite apps fast.
The Dock is always just a swipe away. So it’s easy to get to an app from another app without having to go back to the Home screen. Add your favorite apps to the Dock. Or multitask in a flash by opening apps directly from it.
Drag from here. Drop to there.
Designed specifically for Multi-Touch, drag and drop makes it easy to move text, images, and files between apps just by touching them. Make your document more engaging by dropping in a photo. Or simply add an attachment to your email. You can even select multiple items to move with a few taps of a finger.
Retina display. As beautiful as it is functional.
The 9.7-inch Retina display is an immersive way to experience all the things you can do with iPad. Whether you’re writing a business plan or painting a masterpiece, the spacious display offers a vividness and clarity that’s so stunning you can’t help but touch it. Which is exactly the point.
Unlock securely and shop easily with Touch ID.
Touch ID makes unlocking your iPad simple and secure. You can also make purchases conveniently and safely with Apple Pay. Just place your fingertip on the Touch ID sensor and you’re good to go.
