In iPad, APPLE has one goal: to create a device that’s immensely powerful, yet so thin and light that it may be passed unnoticed. The most noticeable thing about iPad Air 2 is that it is incredibly
thin and light. It’s thickness is just 6.1 millimeters, making it Apple’s thinnest iPad so far. 

The Device weighs less than one pound. This characteristic makes it very easy to hold in one hand and be taken wherever.

Some years back when Apple introduced the first iPad, the world easily noticed  the thinness and lightness that the device was said to have set a standard for thinness and lightness. Having set a standard, Apple have continued to make ipads subsequently produced to be lighter and thinner. This is made possible courtesy of its durable aluminum unibod. The most amazing thing about  iPad Air 2 is that it is stronger than any similar device out there. This by implication means that it did not sacrifice its strength in the pursuit of thinness, the device is very study and rigid.

iPad Air 2 Display.

In the previous generations of iPad, the manufacturers used three separate components in their displays. In iPad Air 2, a new innovation was introduced, the three layers of the displays were combined into one, eliminating gaps between one layer and the other along-side the internal reflectance that had been the resultant effect of those gaps. This consequently led to having richer colors, greater contrast, sharper and more vivid image.

This new innovation brings the device’s LCD layer  closer to the eyes of the user, enhancing good user-experience, especially in the relationship between the device’s screen  and the user’s finger.

There is also an improvement in the sensitivity of the screen that it now tracks the user’s finger more accurately. This in-turn makes for good user and personal experience when one uses iPad Air 2 to play games, surf the web, or watch photos and videos.

According to Apple, “iPad Air 2 has a custom-designed antireflective coating that reduces glare by 56 percent, making it the least reflective tablet in the world. In virtually any kind of environment — offices, classrooms, outdoors — everything is clearer and more readable.” This assertion has been tried and verified and it turned out to be true.

Back Cover.

The back of iPad Air 2 is covered with an anodized aluminum body,  having a beveled edge cut with a mono-crytalline diamond measured in microns, the same parameter used in measuring the width of a human hair, giving it a an elegant metallic and detailed finishing. 

Battery.

iPad Air 2 has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. This technology currently provides the best performance for the device. When compared with older battery types, lithium-ion batteries weigh less, last longer, and charge more efficiently.
