iPad Air

iPad · discontinued 21 March 2016

The iPad Air (retrospectively referred to unofficially as the iPad Air 1 or original iPad Air) is a tablet computer developed and marketed by Apple Inc. It was announced on October 22, 2013 and released on November 1, 2013. Part of the iPad line of tablet computers, the iPad Air features a thinner design than its predecessors (particularly the iPad (4th generation)), with similarities to the contemporaneous iPad Mini 2.

The iPad Air's successor, the iPad Air 2, was announced on October 16, 2014, and released on October 22, 2014, however, the 64 GB and 128 GB variants were discontinued, and later the 16 GB and 32 GB on March 21, 2016, after the announcement of the 9.7-inch iPad Pro.
