All with amazing efficiency for all-day battery life.3
iPadOS and apps; Get up to something wonderful.

Apple Pencil Pro.Engineered for limitless creativity.
Apple Pencil sets the standard for how drawing, painting, handwriting, and note-taking should feel — intuitive, precise, and magical. All with pixel perfect precision, low latency, tilt sensitivity, and support for palm rejection. The all-new Apple Pencil Pro adds even more capabilities to bring your ideas to life like never before.2
Magic Keyboard;Type it up in a snap.
Magic Keyboard delivers responsive typing for writing and emailing.2 And a built in trackpad brings the precision you need for tasks like editing a spreadsheet. Magic Keyboard also features a floating cantilever design that lets you attach it magnetically, then adjust it for the perfect viewing angle.
Cameras;Capture your imagination. And everything else.

Designed to make a difference.
What matters to you matters to Apple, too. From using more recycled materials that minimize environmental impact. To privacy protections that give you more control over your data. To creating built-in features that make iPad accessible to all.
The new iPad Air has a durable design that uses 100 percent recycled aluminum in the enclosure.
Privacy is a fundamental human right. Which is why we design our products and services to protect it.
The best technology works for everyone. That’s why our products and services are inclusive by design.
